How are we going to turn our brains on and start thinking?
- First things first...we have to start with some brain exercises. You know, brain teasers. I love them! They're great for cleaning out the cob webs in our brains and stretching that muscle!
- We'll do quite a bit of group work. There are many benefits to this approach, but the one that most applies to this class is that they have to learn to work together to solve a problem, which in itself, can be a problem-solving experience.
- The students will use technology when it's appropriate. Other times, they'll use good old fashioned paper and pencil.
- That said, quite a bit of our class will be available online at Schoology. This is an online learning environment. This allows students who miss a day (or two) to keep up with what we're doing. I welcome and encourage parents to join our Schoology sessions. For your class's class key, please email me. Parents will need to complete the eRegistration process giving students permission to use our technology and work online.
