Ways to use QR Codes in the Elementary Classroom and Using Google Docs to Create Them “Traditional thinking is all about ‘what is’. Future thinking will also need to be about what ‘can be’” By Edward de Bono Quick Response codes also known as QR codes are similar to barcodes. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. To start putting some of these great ideas into practice in your classroom, you can use QR creators such as Kaywa, QRStuff if you just want to create one QR code but I like using Google docs when creating multiple QR codes quickly. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. =image(ʺ 7. 8. 9.

Overview of learning styles Many people recognize that each person prefers different learning styles and techniques. Learning styles group common ways that people learn.

That means it looks a little different to us each night during its one-month orbit of our planet. We describe how the Moon looks with terms such as "Full Moon," "First Quarter," and "New Moon" (which we can't really see, because the side that is lit faces away from us).

MAKE HOMEMADE SCIENCE TOYS AND PROJECTS RTI: Digging Deeper Assessments {PAST link updated} Since posting our school's RTI plan and links to the RTI documents we created at Lake Myra, several of you have asked about the Digging Deeper Assessments we use to drill down a child's most foundational literacy level....identified on the Otter Talk Form below (more on this form and the other RTI documents we created in my earlier Response to Intervention post). So, here are the all Digging Deeper Assessments we use in our school & district. Although none of them were originally created by our school/district, they are public assessments for anyone to use: Print Concepts based on Clay's Concept About Print from the Observational Survey use Busy Beavers or Detective Dog from the Story Basket Collection from the Wright Group Letter/Sound Identification, also a part of the Observations Survey Early Names Test Words Their Way Word Study Assessments Here is the binder cover I created for the RtI Digging Deeper Assessment binder...
