It was the first week of fifth grade and I was so ready to learn History. I had spent the previous summer poring over an Ancient Egypt book so it had to become my favorite subject. Make learning a priority. Here are a few ideas on using edtech to promote growth mindset: Showing progress through competency-based learning.

Just try to imagine an oak tree in the summer, only with blue leaves. A classroom full of students. Each student is like a shade or a tint of a different color — and I’m not referring to the color of their skin. Each student has a unique blend of nuances that makes them the individual learner they are.

With summer fast approaching all over the Northern Hemisphere, kids are eager for time away from teachers, textbooks, and To-do lists. In Ireland, Italy, Greece, Russia, and other Eurasian nations, summer vacation lasts about three months. American students get roughly ten weeks. You are here – kids learn to be smart consumers.

My first-year teaching let’s just say I learned as much about money as I did about education. I was a young professional at 23, still learning how to budget for myself. I learned to track my expenses, and even figure out how much I could realistically afford to save each month. That first summer, I ended up working two jobs.

And this summer, it’s going to be more essential and critical than ever before. The summer plan I’m suggesting to help you regroup has three parts: Taking a break from thinking about work. Reflecting on what you learned about yourself and your teaching. So, choose time this summer in which school does not exist.

A surprising number of students — and teachers — still consider technology to be the realm of a chosen few endowed with brilliance and math/science skills. This is a great tool to practice vocabulary (have students write the word by depressing the squares and then enjoy the music). Backwards Google. Dance Pony Dance.

A makerspace is a learning environment where children can tinker, design and create collaboratively using a variety of materials. However, a makerspace is so much more than a physical space, it’s a mindset that embraces making as a necessary component of learning. My love of building and creating actually comes from my own two boys.

I’ve tried to steer away from a traditional orientation where students hear the do’s and don’ts in the library. The message that I really want students to hear is about the joy of reading. In most classes, a few students said what they were reading now, and I loved how it immediately felt like a connection between us.

This summer, my family and I got to go on a trip of lifetime and traveled on a 14-day Alaskan cruise. We enjoyed the sights, the scenery, and especially all the fun and interactive activities on board the ship. Being an attendee at many a workshop as well, I know that there is a sense of dread when it comes to “icebreakers”.
