Elementary think alouds. At the elementary stage, these quotes represent talking points from our 4th and 5th graders. Wikipedia’s openness leads a number of students to categorize it as a blog.

My favorite method for sharing student work is on a Google Site or a Blogger blog. Blogger is a traditional blogging platform that allows for comment. With a blog post, we can share student work and collect feedback from other students, parents, or experts in the field of study. That’s where I give Blogger the edge.

I will give a bit of a disclaimer that this is more of an elementary-focused episode, but frankly, I think we have a bigger problem with waste, plastic, lamination, and so on at the elementary level than at the secondary level where it’s more common to find paperless and nearly paperless classrooms.

A lot of times at the elementary level, Genius Hour is once a week. I really think that even though Genius Hour is all about choice in terms of what they want to learn, teachers have to have a definite structure of what the process of learning looks like. What to expect from secondary students’ projects (and pitfalls to avoid).

So I’m definitely good with that. And that’s particularly true at the secondary level because your kids are only with you what, 45-90 minutes a day. And I feel like, at the elementary level, the little ones really love the repetition. See blog posts/transcripts for all episodes. Yeah, I like that actually.
