When @PlayBlooket glitches so the steal 10% turns into steal 1000% 😂😂 The students were very excited for their scores!

Favorite lesson of the year! Gummy Bear Governments! #civics

Mummy contest in advisory!

Boston Massacre Crime Scenes are under investigation in 7th-grade classrooms! #marlowe158 @kalarson158

Thank you @icivics for the swag! I love being a part of the iCivics Educator Newtwork. It has led to great conversations, resources, and connections!

@JMonson158 @MarloweMustangs Haha, yes we let them have them for the last hour of the day!

@kalarson158 @MarloweMustangs So do they get their phones? 😂

I don’t know what I am more proud of - the fact my students thought to write a petition or that they correctly identified our middle school team as an oligarchy with a small group of teachers in charge. #winning #civics #marlowe158

Twin Day today! Thankful for all my awesome co-workers, but after a long school year and track season I so appreciate @MrsBoltSci158, who is always there to lend an ear to listen or have a good laugh!

@marlowe_track @MarloweMustangs Girls took second at the Fox Valley Conference Meet today!

Finishing our gummy bear governments today. My students thought our example absolute monarch needed a guillotine to really show his power. Not pictured, decapitated gummy bears… #civics?

It’s always a favorite lesson of students!

@HanzGao22 @PlayBlooket @gimkit @Kahoot @quizlet @quizizz Hi @hanzGao22! I don't think I can do an interview, I coach track after school, and have young children. But if you want to DM me some questions I am happy to type up a few responses!

@kalarson158 @PlayBlooket @gimkit @Kahoot @quizlet @quizizz Hi Karen! My dissertation is on ‘Secondary School Teacher’s Experience with Gamification’. I wonder if you may like to participate in a quick 20-minute online interview to share your experiences and thoughts on gamification? Please see more infor here calendly.com/arianagao/game

Dear @PlayBlooket @gimkit @Kahoot @quizlet @quizizz If some tech genius can figure out a way to never have the numbers 6 and 9 next to each other in a join code that would be wonderful. Sincerely, An Exhausted Middle School Teacher

@gimkit @PlayBlooket @Kahoot @quizlet @quizizz You are the best!! Thank you!

@kalarson158 @PlayBlooket @Kahoot @quizlet @quizizz Hey Karen! GREAT call! We just pushed an update to fix this. The numbers 6 and 9 can no longer appear next to each other in Gimkit game codes. 🙌

Students are in committee this week creating bills for our model congress! #civics

Had a blast and hit some PR's at our first away meet at Northwood! Awesome job, athletes!
