Differentiating Instruction Through Interactive Games (Tech2Learn Series) Mr.
Pronovost: Really trying to address giving every student what they need, and giving them that differentiated instruction is where the technology really comes in handy. Not only are they getting immediate feedback and they're able to move at their own pace, but then I'm also able to support the students who really need my support. Today, what we are gonna talk about is addition and subtraction. If she gives away ten pencils, how many pencils will Teresa have left? I want you to think about it. So today when we started in math, we sat down on the rug and we were starting with addition and subtraction. How do we know we're doing addition? Boy: Because you said "and all" and that means all together. Mr. Once I felt that students really were getting back into the rhythm with addition and subtraction, that's when I move them on to computers. When you're at Planet Turtle, you're doing your independent practice.

It enables students to explore, create and imagine in a completely different way than they could ever do in a traditional classroom. The beauty of the game is in the way it unleashes the creativity of both students and teachers. But for Minecraft novices like me, it's hard to know exactly where to begin unleashing all that creativity. If you're just getting started with Minecraft, it might be helpful to use the game in an activity of your own design.
That way, you familiarize yourself with the powerful tools for educators available in MinecraftEdu by building a virtual world for the class to explore before you jump into to using the game as a creative tool for your students. This semester, I used Minecraft for the first time in my ninth grade science class at Quest to Learn. Step 1: Define the Learning Goals Step 2: Create the Mechanics and Build the Virtual World Step 3: Focus the Exploration. 5 Epiphanies on Learning in a 1:1 iPad Classroom. Last fall, my high school handed iPads to each student in the building, and I began my journey as the school's Instructional Technology Coach.
Since our faculty had spent the previous year preparing for the rollout, I knew our classroom environment and teaching methods would evolve. I welcomed it. But I could never have imagined how vast -- and rewarding -- that evolution would be. To provide some structure for my journey, I joined a cross-curricular group of my colleagues who were focusing on action research in their classrooms. Questions permeate good action research -- mine was: "What does learning look like in a fully-committed 1:1 iPad high school classroom? " As an English teacher, I use the word "epiphany" all the time. Epiphany #1: Students Should Be Partners in Action Research Because I was as much a learner this year as my students, I was even more transparent than usual with them about my methods and purpose. Epiphany #2: Organization Is Inherently Tied to Learning. Youth and Media - Re:Born Digital, in Video: Identities.
