We are excited to have the entire school working together to celebrate Black History Month. MHS students and staff answered the question: what does black identity mean to you? #BeNoble #BeNobleMHS #MansuetoHighSchool #GoLeopards

We’ve got great things happening at @BeNobleMHS and @BeNobleSchools! So proud to be a part of this community. Come join!

Go Mansueto!!! #LeopardPride 💛🐾⚽️

Ready for my next chapter as an educator! #mhsleopards #noblekickoff2019

@senoritafitz Wait...I love this!! 🐾❤️

Here are some amazing Spanish 2/3 students! #gcisdwl #CHPantherPride

@JackLeonardEdu @BGreavesCHHS Go, @BGreavesCHHS !! #chpantherpride

A9: I've got some new games to look into! Just in time for #staarseason #gcisdchat

A8: I'm kind of a Rules Guy...but making sure expectations are clear to limit the over-competitiveness #gcisdchat

@BGreavesCHHS @mrronclark_ Which of his resources do you find most useful for this? Website? Twitter?

A7: @mrronclark_ Is a great resource. Every game I played my first 3 years of teaching I learned from him. #gcisdchat

@JackLeonardEdu Sounds cool! What grade/content??

@BGreavesCHHS That's a great point!

A6: Students can also choose how many points, XP, etc. each task should be worth. This also lets you know what they deem as difficult #gcisdchat

@MrsShepGMS @VanhornJacqui and @SCrawfordELA did a great job showing us how to break down TEKS at our data dig that's accessible for Ss, too!

I tried this, and it failed miserably. Any tips? #gcisdchat

A6: Ask Ss, and they are quick to tell (ok, yell) games they play in other classes they love! Most will also gladly help you design it for your class! #gcisdchat

@MrGrowGMS @MrsShepGMS Great point! It also comes back to that instant feedback and that you get to try again right away, unlike on test.

@MrsShepGMS Dying in a game is much closer to missing a shot in basketball than it is to getting a test question wrong. We understand physical failure (which translates to video games) to be a process that you have to adjust to succeed, but tests decide if you are good enough #gcisdchat

Why is it kids are so willing to try again after dying in a game, but not always after failing a test? Perhaps for another #gcisdchat

@kris_lilley Just trying Classcraft - I might contact you with ??s later!

Q3 #ClassCraft has been an amazing addition to my class. Before it, I did Membean choose your own adventure Google Slides, Ka-Hoot, Quizlet Live, Scavenger Hunts and or Goose Chase QR codes. #gcisdchat

A5: I have a hard time with this...so I find it easiest to keep them separate but alternate. If we've had a few days of rigorous analysis and writing, then comes a day with a game that reviews what we've been working on or applies the skills to a new situation #gcisdchat

@BGreavesCHHS When there is an outside "pressure" like winning a game, I think Ss are more likely to collaborate and ask for help from peers, too, and continue trying. #gcisdchat

A4: If a students fails a challenge, instant feedback encourage them to immediately try again in order to pass the challenge. The "challenge" can be anything from answering a multiple choice question, to writing a proper thesis statement. #gcisdchat
