Thanks for your feedback! Audio files are a good idea, though I was operating under the assumption that each piece of media we created for our portfolio would be embedded within its own learning […]

Thanks for your thorough feedback! I appreciate your feedback regarding interactive text. This would be a great way to integrate further resources into the learning activity for my students to explore. […]

Thanks for the feedback, I just finished the audio recordings for my final ePortfolio submission–I wanted to make them better and do the whole reading, rather than just part of it, and I recorded in […]

That’s a great idea! I actually have some doodle notes on the topic that I already use (as a bit of a filler activity when needed). Pairing it with the podcast would make it more meaningful.

Thank you! I’ve learned from teaching that sometimes slowing down a bit goes a long way! Helps me to not trip over my words either. It isn’t often I find myself reading aloud from text! It definitely […]

Thank you! I feel like it was a bit of dumb luck. I lose focus too and would definitely accompany it with a transcript or a worksheet that students could complete as they listen. Anything to keep their […]

Thanks for the resource! I’ll definitely check it out. At the end of this exercise, I felt more confident producing audio media and I’m considering it now for my Portfolio submission. I’m sure her […]

Thanks for your feedback! Students typically do choose an area where it would be common to find a taxi, but this is a specification I should include in the outline.

I had a student last year plan […]

Honestly, most of my students choose a place around the world–either their home country or a place they would like to visit. I have very few students choosing a local spot! Haha, who knows, perhaps […]

Strange! It works for me. I’ll give it another look.

Important for Grade 8 in general! They are a funny bunch. 😉 I love SMART criteria. I wish I found it when I was a young student…it would have helped!

Math is such an interesting subject, and I agree with you that these years are most important for establishing relevance and real-world connections! Something we do in the MYP is develop statements of […]

Thank you! I agree that gamification is super helpful. We have access to a program called Mathletics which offers course packages aligned with provincial curriculum. I can easily assign practice tasks […]

I definitely agree–even in-person courses benefit and suffer in a similar way. I’ve learned not to put due dates directly on the task sheet, but to put it on our LMS instead, because I WILL forget […]

We teach the same subjects and are both relatively new teachers (year 3 here).

One thing I’ve found helpful for science are PhET simulations. There are many teacher resources and activities uploaded […]

Wow! I’m happy to have left such an impression! I wouldn’t necessarily consider myself well-rounded, more like easily distracted! When I find a new interest I tend to jump off the deep end. This […]

Prioritizing relationships is important–I’m sure your students must really appreciate the time you take to check in with them all (at least if not now, then when they are older 🙂). Online le […]
