Sarah Brown Wessling uses the stand-up game to encourage active participation. She asks all the students in her classroom to stand up. They are only allowed to sit down once they have participated in the discussion or share out. Sarah says this game is great for engaging tired students. Via Tom D'Amico (@TDOttawa) , Juergen Wagner

This is an awesome strategy to get the discussion flowing in the classroom. It also gets all of the class engaged because as we know, teens are not always willing to share their ideas freely so by having the option for them to share early so that they can sit down.
I also loved the idea of clicks for praise where the whole class joins in. That would be a real confidence booster for the students.

Teaching in a one-to-one school would be great, but it is always nice to have options when you only have one computer. This website is also author to the "18 ways to use just one iPad." My only critique for both articles is that you must have internet connection for the suggestions listed. Most places do have internet, but for the places that don't, or have unreliable internet, what are they to do? Regardless, the suggestions are great activities and lessons.

Some excellent ideas and resources here. Most of these would also be excellent options to leave with a substitute teacher as they require minimal music knowledge to implement. I love that this caters to classrooms or schools that may not have as many devices available for day-to-day use.

"I think the problem with rigor is that some are trying to assess it in too short of a time. Turning back to the Teach Like a Pirate book by Dave, he mentions that someone came in to assess his “rigor” by spending 10 minutes in his room. They came in when he was folding cranes at the end of a powerful lesson about Hiroshima. Hearing him describe the full lesson - it was a perfect ending that the kids will never forget.

I am in Wisconsin and we are part of CESA 1 NxGL. I team teach with 42 kindergarten kids and we are using personalized learning. We are working through the tangles of being able to personalize with kids who are just learning to read, write and compute. It has always been a struggle to be able to differentiate the difference between true personalized learning vs. differentiation and individualization. You have done a beautiful job of creating a chart that makes this clearer for all stakeholders. This chart will be useful for helping colleagues, administration and parents see the true definition of personalized learning and the potential that it holds.

I am always looking for ways to save energy. I shared in my book Unshakeable that energy is one of our most precious resources because unlike time, energy does not naturally replenish itself. We have to be intentional about how we use our energy. If we don’t pay attention to the things that drain it and do less of those things and pay attention to things that are energy-giving and do more of those things, we’ll find ourselves feeling depleted all the time.

The most interesting part of this video for me was to hear the teacher describe how much more interested the students are knowing they were going to use the interactive whiteboard versus looking for something in a book. Living in Africa, I have mixed feelings about this due to the limited resources we have here. But this video is definitely a must watch for someone who has no experience with technology in their classroom.

It's wonderful to see just how engaging and effective interactive technology can be in the music classroom. It would be a dream come true to have such a set up in my classroom one day. I particularly liked the free-space setup as I truly believe music should be an active class, not one that is constantly restricted behind desks.

"Once upon a time, it might have seemed a bit curious to screen feature films in the classroom. With today's technology, it is quite common, and the Teach With Movies site is a great resource for those looking to integrate moving pictures into their classroom environments. On this website, visitors will find Snippets & Shorts, Sciences, Movie Worksheets, and a substantial variety of other areas. The Snippets & Shorts area is a particular gem, as it offers suggestions for using a range of popular films to teach concepts in science, history, English, and other subjects. Visitors will also want to look at the Age area to review appropriate films for different ages. The Movie Worksheets area includes film study worksheets addressing several different themes, including Hero's Journey, Cinematic and Theatrical Elements, and Historical Fiction. While the site does not provide direct access to copyrighted film material, it is an excellent source of support materials for teachers who will have access to the suggested films through their local or school libraries."
