I hope everyone has a wonderful break, whether it's 3 days or 3 weeks!
Here are some highlights from the survey I sent out a few weeks ago:
85% of respondents have partnered with me on a project or will soon -those brave risk takers :-)
94% of the respondents indicated the project or activity positively impacted student's understanding of the objective
94% of the respondents indicated they would most likely try something similar on their own
80% still need to finish the Google 101 course for eSchools credit - Let me know and I will stay after school and help out!
55% of respondents would be willing to try an online conversation in their PJs! Coming in May!
Mark your calendar for April 12 or April 14: Our next #edCamp session

I read about tricider.com today and I "encouraged" my daughters to test it with me. Here's our discussion about the best way to study for a Social Studies test.
Tidbits about our experience:
- Can set up the tricider with no prep-Just post the question and share the link
- Share the tricider question using email, Twitter, or URL
- users have to hit refresh to see updates
- they were on smartphones and I was on a laptop (text is small on a 4s)
- No login required
- I see SO many ways this can be used across ALL content areas
- My teenagers said they liked being able to post their own ideas and then see what people think about it.
- They liked the PRO & CON feature to ideas, made them think about the ideas
- The voting feature has LOTS of potential
Let me know what you think if you try it out or if you want help facilitating a discussion!
