Here are 4 sketchnotes of the 4 toolkits from @pgliljedahl's #thinkingclassroom. These versions now have a better citation of the book. I hope they inspire discussion about how to make learning more accessible to more students! drive.google.com/drive/folders/… #onted #destreaming

@DonFraser9 @davidpetro314 @OAMElearns For context, that is one student's views of their own learning 😊 Each student created their own bar chart to show what helps them. The bars could not be the same length.

The simple fact is that the anti-woke are desperately afraid of the truth.

1. Next school year, thousands of high school students in Oklahoma will be required to learn about Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud. The lesson will not be part of a course on conspiracy theories, but an official component of the new social studies curriculum.

Yesterday, we looked at this graph and were curious about voter turnout in Nunavut. #mth1w This article provides some information. And context for questioning the conditions for elections in the North. cbc.ca/news/canada/no… #onted #slowrevealgraph @jennalaib

@realJ_Mitchell 💯 Word for word, what I've experienced.

In a thinking classroom…because kids are put into flow, the tendency to socially loaf goes way down. Additionally, because students are vertical, I can quickly see who is loafing (proximity to whiteboard) and interrupt that behaviour right away. #ThinkingClassroom

Thank you @MrsHackett305 for inspiring this @btcthinks lesson that we used in #ENG2D this semester. I think exploring others' essay openings for how they engage readers right away helped inspire Ss' creative & personal writing. aledaklassened.wordpress.com/2025/04/19/tak… #onted @pgliljedahl

Can you figure out the fewest number of marks needed on this ruler? (I think this would be a great math task in the classroom!)

I've been taking a @BTCthinks approach to teaching English this year. Here's a task we did to uncover informal/personal essay writing processes: Thinking about the Thinking behind Informal Essay Writing: aledaklassened.wordpress.com/2025/04/18/662/ #btcthinks @pgliljedahl #onted #ENG2D

@mslinlinli Good idea... Redesign the cups so that there is a scam 😅

English

Linlin@mslinlinli·14 Nis

@aledaklassen Save your money! politifact.com/factchecks/202… But would be a cool activity to see what the cups would look like to hold the same volume if radius is constant vs if height is constant!

Is there a place for this in #mth1w? drive.google.com/file/d/1K3BQAB… And... Is this true?! I don't drink coffee. #onted

Here's an activity we did to prep for the #OSSLT's series of opinion paragraphs. The same activity could be used for any writing task. #ENG2D #onted #btcthinks #thinkingclassroom #assessmentandevaluation aledaklassened.wordpress.com/2025/04/06/pre…

I've been trying to implement more of the #btcthinks framework this year. I think I've adopted & adapted a routine that helps students understand where they are, where the need to go, and how to get there. It's not perfect. #thinkingclassroom #onted aledaklassened.wordpress.com/2025/03/30/my-…

Routines make learning environments predictable for students and teachers. Here are some of mine. What are yours? #btcthinks #thinkingclassroom #onted #destreaming aledaklassened.wordpress.com/2025/03/29/set…

@NMedina5 @BTCthinks I was thinking about soaking them first... Otherwise not worrying about it because they'll get dirty again. I have found that the black cloths help prevent any "creative" messaging being drawn on the cloths.
