After examining the results of our initial survey, it was obvious that we needed to encourage our students to think outside of the box. We started our second class by giving students the chance to view the following Did You Know 2016 Video Clip: In Maddy's classes, students used Today's Meet as a backchannel to share surprising facts, questions, and potential topics. Students were engaged and enjoyed using this tool. The transcrpit of the Today's Meet can be found on the Resources page. In Linda's classes, students used sticky notes to complete the same activity.
After viewing and discussing the video, students were then divided into small groups to read and record notes on articles related to 21st century learning. Topics included the following: coding, Clearview's Read and Ride program, grade elimination, homeless students, and taking a break from technology. After reading, students met with their groups and discussed their findings. This provided students with opportunity to generate ideas for their driving questions.
