Thank you Trang for sharing how you use ClassDoJo in your classroom. Here is a link to the ClassDojo Biggest Ideas video series. There are five videos about growth mindset, which came out last spring. The new video series is called Empathy. The videos were created by ClassDojo in conjunction with Making Caring Common, a project of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Each video comes with a discussion guide. Here's the first video in the empathy series.
Tech Committee Update: Thank you to the Tech Committee members that were able to attend our meeting on Tuesday, September 27th. The table was packed with staff advocating our technology needs. It was beneficial for Leisha, Beth Monahan, Tricia and Jim to hear directly from teachers how accessing technology will impact your teaching and of course, student learning. We had a great conversation about hardware goals for each grade level. You can see the notes from our meeting on this google doc. If you have any questions about our device goals or other tech issues, please see your grade level representative or myself.
Tech Day: Tech Days are back starting next week, Thursday October 13th. All teachers are welcome to sign up for a personal 50 minute technology training session. A sub will come relieve you from your classroom so we can work together on a topic of your choice ~ please have sub plans ready. The possibilities are endless.
Alternatively, this time slot could also be used for collaborative teaching so we would work together with your class on a technology integrated lesson in the lab or in your classroom (we can do this anytime ~ not just on these tech days). If you are hoping to use the lab, we will need to check the lab schedule to make sure time is available.
If you'd like to participate in the October 13th Tech 1:1 Day, please sign up for a slot on this doodle poll.
