@Namaraledu A5: Music playlists while working are easy and students get into picking which genre or artist we listen to. YouTube is also simple but gives students someone besides me to listen to and then I recap. I also like finding online games / simulations that gamify pre-labs #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A4: Dissections in anatomy. Prosthetic arm in biomechanics. They’re things students know about and look forward to all year. Perfect for when they’re otherwise wanting to check out for summer. #RIHPD

Q4: Share one of your most engaging activities. Something the students always look forward to doing. #RIHPD

@Namaraledu Ashley Murphy, science at Indian Hills. Planning a road trip with a friend for spring break 😊 #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A5: I think any time you can get students working hands on and collaborating it makes it more fun! Labs and real world connection projects let them do that, as well as see how things are really used outside the classroom #RIHPD

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

@Teach1Bio @Namaraledu Agreed! Seeing the questions they write is very insightful.

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

@Namaraledu A1: Hard to define without saying “assess!” I think of assessment as a chance to either see where students are along the way (formative) or for them to show off their skills and how much they can apply what they’ve learned (summative) #RIHPD

So exciting! Congratulations on this milestone achievement 🎉🎳🏆

Way to go, girls!! Love to see it.
