ES Tech Diaries – Week of September 7th 2015
— MAP – MAP testing starts tomorrow at 8:30 and runs throughout the day. The Tech Team will be wrapped up in MAP testing until Thursday. Please call #3255 in case you need immediate tech help.
It is extremely helpful if classroom teachers and TAs help set up laptops on desks at the beginning. Thank you in Advance!
— Game-based learning and Gamification – Here is a post from MindShift, one of my favorite blogs about Innovation in Education, that broadly outlines the thinking around game-based learning. Some experiences with both games-in-the-curriculum and game-design have ranged from Minecraft to Pixel Press Floors. Feel free to reach out to me if you find this new pedagogy intriguing.
— Kahoot! – Its a game-based learning platform that seamlessly fits all content areas and any age group. The tool can be used for formative assessment and in many other creative ways to enhance students’ learning experiences.
— Its selfie time in the ES!
