All righty. So we are here to talk about our student engagement assignment.

And I will say that at first when I saw all those names and all of those words

about all of those students. I was like,

oh my gosh, do I really have to do this?

And I'm so glad that that I did. It was a really good exercise.

I really enjoyed this assignment like a lot more than I thought I would

anyway. So we are gonna get started with classroom setup.

So this is a picture. I just put it together real quick of my ideal classroom setup.

So the backs right here are stand up desks, which is something that I really enjoy.

And I know that our diverse learners would enjoy as well.

Um

I'd have computers back here

and I don't have pods,

but I do have rows set up because then each

kid has a shoulder partner that they can use,

utilize like during like think pair shares or anything

like that just for like a quick short collaboration.

But then there's like individual desks so that way they

can be turned around to create pods if they needed to

there's also a stage up here because in my classroom, in this situation,

what we would be doing is we would be doing

a quote unquote newsroom for a lot of collaborative assignments.

So we're gonna go to these learning materials.

OK.

So the reason that I chose the stage is because we're going to be using

a lot of video media because we have a lot of students that are,

you know, they create apps, they do a lot of video editing.

We have a lot of kids who enjoy theater and drama and presenting and stuff like that.

So we would do a lot of that in this classroom

and we would also be able to so in a newsroom, excuse me,

um there's not just the acting side of it, there's the production side of it as well.

So we would have our more analytical students be

doing more of the hands on research for it.

I mean, of course, everybody would be a part of that, that would be a part of it,

but that would be more of their end of the deal is like the script writing

uh for our less outgoing students

and for differentiated instruction.

Uh if we're not doing newsroom, I would say that we would be doing a lot of jigsaws.

So that way we could stimulate different senses because we do

have students that have a lot of different learning styles.

So

kinesthetic learning, we would be doing like a create your own

um crossword kind of a situation.

We would be doing like costume creation and stuff like that.

For our more auditory learners, we would have a um

like an online simulation and that would be go along with our visual learners.

So we would be stimulating a lot of different styles of learning.

And then we would also be taking advantage of online simulations as far, I mean,

which, you know, which would be good for our students that have a little bit of a,

like a diverse learning need.

So for instance, we have some kids with dysgraphia, we have some kids that have

um IEPs and 50 fours for whatever reason,

right? So they would be able to go at their own pace during these simulations.

So for instance,

there's one that's called race to ratify

where it's talking about the revolutionary war,

right?

Um

And like all the vocabulary involved and stuff like that.

So then I would also have them use something like goblin tools, which is an A I source,

which is actually really cool for our neurodivergent learners.

So they'd be able to break up tasks using goblin tools and, you know,

be able to organize themselves in a way that works for them.

Uh And then we would also allow for a

collaboration as needed to allow for scaffolding and,

you know, if it needed to, then I would assign partners, but generally speaking,

that's not really

what we're going for here.

We want kids to be comfortable in their environment and

be able to work with the people that they're,

they're comfortable with, that have like similar needs and not similar needs,

but like similar personalities and stuff like that.

Um

Yeah, so differentiated instruction,

classroom management.

My philosophy not only in classroom management but

in life is that respect is number one,

right? If I cannot respect you, you cannot respect me and we're not going anywhere.

That's just for me, that's how I run my life, right?

So of course, it would be based on that in my classroom.

So I would expect kids to be clean

in my classroom. Oh, I hate it when they leave trash everywhere,

clean,

collaborative responsible towards one another and for themselves

and then kind and helpful to one another

um

ways in which these values will be cultivated

are to engage in very collaborative work.

So like for newsroom, they would help write each other scripts,

we'd have different characters that would be needed and be like, oh, you know,

Benjamin would be super good for Winston Churchill or something like that,

you know,

um and you know, just take,

think about one another and think about one another's needs. And

that's basically, I, I would expect that.

And um

yeah,

to, so to reflect on everything with this assignment,

I would say that my design choices have a lot to do with a student's needs.

A student's strengths and I would say that it would also have a lot

to do with their unique qualities and their uh their interests as well.

So,

yeah, I think that everything would,

for these students be

a little less difficult than I thought it would normally

would be to have like a really good collaborative learning

um

environment.

So, yeah,

thanks for watching.
