@Namaraledu A5. I’ve had students use padlet to share links/solutions to soil issues around the globe. The background was a world map and it was really engaging #RIHPD

Q5 (last): Share one creative/fun way or lesson you use an app of your choice. #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A4. I really like using Edpuzzle for flipped classroom or reinforcement #RIHPD

Q4: What apps do you use to help you extend learning beyond the normal school day and 4 walled classroom? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A3. I currently use schoology and am working on learning google classroom. #RIHPD

Q3: What apps are you using to help keep students, parents, and others informed of what is going on in your classroom? How? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A2. I think they enjoy competitive apps like kahoot and quizziz. They love to “go against” each other #RIHPD

Q2: What are your students' favorite apps to use? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A1. I’ve used padlet and peardeck #RIHPD

Q1: What apps do you use to engage students in the classroom? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu Katie Miller-Science at IH, going to try to relax and see family #RIHPD

So, introduce yourself, where and what you teach and what your plans are for this upcoming Memorial Day Weekend. #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A6. I would say more flexibility to the staff, less strict requirements #RIHPD

Last Question: Where would you start to boost morale? Share your advice. #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A5. Offer support and stand behind us when we face issues or want to discuss change for the better #RIHPD

Q5: What is one thing admin/ higher ups can do NOW to help boost morale? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A4. The PD halfdays that allow for collaboration and connection with colleagues have been great! #RIHPD

Q4: Share something that was embraced by you and your colleagues that helped boost morale. #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A3. Try to stay away from it when I can. It’s really easy to get sucked in sometimes, especially when you’re having a rough day. #RIHPD

Q3: How do you deal with negativity in the district? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A2. Honestly just spending time with my department members and people from other departments. It’s great to know I’m not alone. #RIHPD

Q2: What is an activity you like to participate in that helps build morale? Why? #RHPD

@Namaraledu Katie Miller-Science at IH-hanging with my daughter and resting

So introduce yourself, what and where you teach and what your Spring break plans are! #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A1. Biggest impact would be all the requirements we have like doc logs/quarterly rewrites #RIHPD

Q1: What is the biggest hurdle impacting staff morale in our district? Keep it PG. #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A6. I include feedback in formative assessments and low stakes assignments. I continually walk around my classroom and talk to the students and offer help/feedback. #RIHPD

Last Question: How do you include feedback in the assessment practice? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A5. Definitely projects and lab conclusions. In forensics, the students utilize course content to process and analyze evidence to develop a conclusion. #RIHPD

Q5: What are some of your favorite alternatives to traditional assessments in the classroom? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A4. I definitely think using technology for projects is really useful but I also like using it to assess learning gaps and misconceptions with google forms #RIHPD

Q4: What are your favorite ways to leverage technology to assess your students? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A3. I like to have the students design their own assessment for a small unit, with an answer key. You really get a sense of their understanding when you read the questions they write. #RIHPD

Q3: Share some examples of assessment techniques and how you implement them in your classroom? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A2. Unfortunately, I would say that most students would say just a test or quiz. Often times they don’t realize that projects or labs we do are also assessing them. #RIHPD

Q2: How would students describe what assessment means to them? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A1. Assessment is the students showing what they know. It can be done in various forms and should be equitable for all students #RIHPd

Q1: What does assessment mean to you? How should assessment be defined? #RIHPD
