Student Opportunity

Classroom Discussion 2.0

The great thing about Socrative was its ability to help engage students that tended to shy away from class participation. Students were more confident in their ability to participate when live results were displayed.

I was challenged with the idea of trying to find a better way to facilitate classroom discussion. After exploring Socrative, an online learning tool the displays real-time assessment results, I knew I had my answer.

Aha! Socrative

Socrative is a smart student response system that empowers teachers to engage their classrooms through a series of educational exercises and games via smartphones, laptops, and tablets.

Growth

What I gained from the Cohort

Tools gained:

  • Prezi (obviously)

The Challenge

How do you engage readers in an online environment?

How do you integrate literature on the page with reading on the screen?

How do you get students to interact with one another in the classroom and on the web?

What tools can be used to enhance, rather than replace, learning in the reading and writing classroom?

Evolving Education

As an educator, the Technology and Leadership Cohort has given me an opportunity to improve my practice in the classroom. I've streamlined my curriculum in a way I never thought possible.
