Hive Summit - Tara Martin - Be Real

I'm aiming to be REAL; to encourage risk-taking, support my students, and amplify their voices and successes. Excellent inspiration from @TaraMartinEDU in her #HiveSummit video! #HiveSketch pic.twitter.com/nUK33SA4Uk

Hive Summit - Rick Wormeli - Reflection on Grading Practices

Reflection is powerful. @RickWormeli2's #HiveSummit video was excellent! I have been working on reformatting how I grade (or don't grade) my classes, and now I have so much more to think about! #HiveSketch pic.twitter.com/XlRElLywT8

Day 2 of #HiveSummit - @HeckAwesome and @MrMatera discussing #sketchnoting. I took my time looking up new font styles to create this #HiveSketch! I also created a pinterest board of sketching tips & examples to share w/ my Ss when we try #sketchnoting! https://t.co/0IfUWcBUDU pic.twitter.com/uJJQqvKgl7

Quizlet Unconference 2018

I've been doing a lot of professional development in the past few weeks. I was hoping not to get burned out, and the Quizlet Unconference has re-energized me! I didn't realize all of the cool things that Quizlet could do. I thought it was just another flashcard website, but there are seriously so many options.

Here are some of the awesome things that you can do with this robust and interactive website.

Import vocabulary lists, add images in definitions, read words or definitions out loud, change the language, share on Google Classroom, organize in classes/folders, embed lists, etc… so many options! @Quizlet is incredibly robust. #QuizletUnconference

Interactive Diagram Library

1. Create interactive diagrams

This is really awesome. You can upload a diagram and then choose "points" to add information. Students can look at the diagram and practice studying by filling in the blanks and hovering over the "points" to check their answers. Click here to check out a library of interactive diagrams.

2. Match Game

This game is a lot of fun! It is a timed game where students have to match the terms to their definitions. It also keeps track of student progress in the form of a leaderboard, so there is a competition aspect as well!

3. Learn

This part of the website allows students to put in the date of an upcoming assessment (their goal) and reminds the student to study over the course of time between the creation of the list and the date of the test/quiz. What a great way to encourage students to keep track of their goals and remember to study instead of cramming the night before!

4. Time Saving

Quizlet also provides so many ways to save you time. I won't be listing them all here, but here are two of my favorites:

You can import vocabulary lists from other platforms, like Word, Google Docs, Sheets, or any other word processor. The process takes seconds and is so easy!

You can combine existing vocabulary lists into a brand new list. This is excellent for classes that have final exams. You can combine the lists together and students can make a copy of the list and delete words that they know well. This will allow them to customize their list and study the words on which they need the most practice!

I'm excited about the possibilities of Quizlet (a completely FREE website) and I'm looking forward to digging deeper over the course of the school year!

A real superstar. Wrote a blog post about the Unconference after only two hours! 😃 👏👏👏 https://t.co/LCfP7nt7tn
