Feedback Cards Utilizing Apple Classroom App

Since we have been a learning environment that utilizes iPads, we have used the "Classroom App" for monitoring students and their activity.  As a formative assessment option, we are utilizing the "Classroom App" and "Feedback Cards".  As a team, we can monitor and provide personal assistance to students with two teachers while one teacher conducts a lesson in large group.  Students are encouraged to place a "feedback card" on their "evidence notes". It is our hope that students utilize this to help us in knowing what they know.

AP Bio Cell Communication Using Stop Motion

Thinking about how to learn concepts in a different way is always exhilarating and challenging.  Of course it's easier to read (or lecture) about the content and answer questions, but DOING seems to allow the content to be understood in greater detail.








Mrs. Vertz did an amazing job of transforming cell communication content into an active learning and creating opportunity.

8 Deadly Sins of Camerawork When Using an iPad

Our high school physical education students will be creating energetic lifting videos.  We will be teaching them how to film correctly when using an iPad.

After each "deadly sin" was introduced, students partnered with another student and practiced how to properly film based on each of the "sins".

I liked how students saw what was an incorrect/correct skill and then practiced the skill correctly.

I also believe this was an outstanding example of how iPads are so portable and function in so many ways.  If we had Chromebooks in our school as our one to one device, this would not have been as efficient as the "all in one" iPad.  You'll also see a great example of team teaching and the very best thing I like about my job.  After the introduction to the learning opportunity, I presented the tech skills that students will be using.  To complete the introduction, the physical education teacher, Ms. Retzlaff, provided the specific requirements and expectations.

The teacher is the facilitator of the content.
The digital learning specialist (me) is the facilitator of the tech tools & skills associated with content.

Zach Seidel, Social Media Coordinator - UMBC Athletics

Our marketing students were blessed to have experience an interview with Mr. Seidel of the UMBC athletics Twitter account.

UMBC men's basketball and UMBC became famous as they were the first number 16 seed to beat a number 1 seed in the NCAA Tournaments.

Zach's wittiness and timely tweeting caught the eye of many!  Since our marketing students are in the midst of a social media campaign to raise funds for Phase II of our Field of Dreams Campaign, I reached out on Twitter to Zach and asked if he would "hangout" with our students. 

He graciously agreed.  By the way, this was a great lesson for our students as well. 

IT DOESN'T HURT TO ASK!











He gave great responses to a number of questions:

• How has your life changed since your famous night in basketball?
• What was your social media plan prior to the game?
• What is your social media plan now?
• How are you leveraging the success you have found to improve your entire university?
• What does your social media team look like?
• What's two things you can specifically tell us that helps when being "good at social media"?

Bekah Vought, Indiana Hoosiers, Talks About Social Media Effectiveness

Our marketing students conducted an interview with Bekah Vought, social media assistant at Indiana University.  In the interview, Ms. Vought talked about her humble beginnings, journey to IU and some of the things that make social media effective for Indiana University.

ULTIMATELY, students are getting an expert's insight from someone outside of our school!

• Grew up in a small town in northern Wisconsin.
• Loves Sports
• Loves communicating with people
• Volunteered at Oregon State University in social media
• IU has a great set up: virtual reality studio, podcast studio, photo studio
• IU sets up GIF shoots for teams
• Videos for each teams
• Her job is putting all of those "created content" for teams and the university together in strategic ways on social media.
• Experts on her team focus on different mediums: Instagram expert, Snapchat expert, Twitter expert, etc. (This helped our students realize that they could utilize their team in different ways)
• Features such as "Hoosier Bedtime Stories" create content by sharing more details of student-athletes and coaches
• Twitter is used as a resource, and answering questions for fans is important. (We continue to stress that social media is about relationships.)
• EVERGREEN: social media posts need to be timeless and from the group's perspective not the individual perspective - See below for a detailed explanation

.@bekahvought, @IUHoosiers , talks about her journey and strategies for effective social media in @phsbjotto 's class.

Overall, Ms. Vought gave great insight into what an effective social media team does on a daily basis.  

You can learn more about Ms. Vought in another interview with Taylor Siebert of Class Intercom.

World History Twitter Template

Students will be creating three tweets on behalf of a famous person in history.  While we could be "real tweeters", some students do not have a Twitter account.  Because of this we modified a Twitter template that we found online for our purposes.

Students will create a copy of the template using an iPad which has a specific workflow.  Find the specific presentations below.

We feel that this learning opportunity helps students to practice being great communicators, critically thinkers all while creating good content.

The Twitter Template



The iPad Workflow

World History: Levels of Creation Options For Students

Our World History teachers have allowed for students to learn about a famous person in history while creating something.  These creations are at "different levels" of text. 
👉If students like writing text, magazines and newspaper templates are provided.  If students like creating with green screens and video, the option is available. 

We feel this learning opportunity allows for students to build critical thinking, communication, and creativity skills.  All of the skills employers are looking for in an employee.

We also feel this assignment meets multiple ISTE Standards.

Padlet Used For Presentations and Discussion

Padlet is not a new tool, however, I utilized it as a new tool to present.  I did not have any formal "presentation", instead I utilized the wall feature of Padlet to create options for session two teachers of my Resonate: Making Better Presentations.  Session One was all about emphasizing visual and delivery of presentations.  After learning about these keys, teachers spent one month creating and revising better presentations.

Session Two was about choice, sharing an old presentation, sharing a new presentation, and then providing words of wisdom.  The first three choice columns contained resources that were text, video, and images.  Teachers liked and/or commented on the resource.  Teachers then uploaded images or complete presentations that were "bad" and then presentations that were "good".  They discussed the negatives and positives of each of their presentations.  Finally, teachers were able to provide "words of wisdom" for anyone making presentations based on what they learned in the two hour session.

Padlet allowed me to do all of that with it's collaborative features!  Link to Padlet

Marketing Students Hear From College Freshmen Whose Done It

On Wednesday, January 31, 2018 our Pulaski High School Marketing Principles class experienced a thirty minute interview with an Ohio University School of Business Honors Student. Brock Reisler (BrockReisler.com) has developed a positive personal brand through his website.  He is featured on the Ohio University Honors page. He also secured a 2018 paid internship by November of 2017 after sending 400 emails to colleges and university athletic departments throughout the United States.

As a teacher, this was a great way to utilize

• Communication (with "experts" outside of our school)
• Create content as we recording the entire hangout
• Critically thought about the content that Brock presented to our students as they are going to be creating a personal brand

As a father, I am so proud of the responsible young man that Brock has become.  I liked one of the things Brock said in the interview:

"Everything In High School Matters" ~Brock Reisler 1-31-18

Apple Core - Resonate: Ignite Passion Through Better Presentations

I have studied Nancy Duarte's work and read a number of her books.

• Resonate
• Illuminate
• Slide: ology
• Slidedocs

I love what she talks about.  As an educator, I have been on a quest to inform and challenge teachers to create better presentations since 2013.

I was blessed with the opportunity to teach sixteen teachers from our district on elements of better presentations.

• The Reason For Better Presentations (Slide 7)
• The Glance Test (Slide 11)
• The Delivery (Slide 36)
• The Goal (Slide 54)

Within the presentation, teachers were asked to perform a "Glance Test" and "Delivery" evaluation of past presentations.  The top of the document has been reduced from an original by Nancy Duarte to one that teachers can use.  I also added a checklist for evaluating the delivery portion of a speech.

I also incorporated Flipgrid to gain feedback from teachers after the session.  Teachers were asked to choose either the "Glance Test" or the "Delivery" to reflect on and then the "Goal".  The goal of creating three presentation throughout the year that incorporate the "Best Of" everything that we talked about is the expectation. 

We will be meeting again in one month to see an "old presentation" and how the "new presentation incorporates many of the ideas discussed during Resonate: Ignite Passion Through Better Presentations. 

*Slide 61 provides resources
