I THOUGHT IT FIRST!
Have you ever had the experience that you are reading about an activity or strategy in a post, a blog or in an Instagram account and you say: hey! I have been doing this since many years ago!!!
Well, sometimes we improvise, we create, we come out with something new in our classroom and it works! But we usually don’t write these ideas, we don’t share them with other colleagues and we don’t publish them in anywhere.
We share these kind of experiences in oral form and in like manner, it is transmitted. But what about trying to write about them? What about writing suggested steps to follow in order to develop your idea in other classrooms by other teachers ? Or if you don’t feel like writing, what about recording a video showing how you develop the activity, strategy or idea you want to share?
Give yourself the chance to create, to write, to make your voice noticeable, to flow like a river and share your wonderful ideas and experiences. Here, in this blog, it can be a good place to start it. Do you have something to share with us?
Well, I have been working some activities using the "Dice of Questions" Reusing boxes and printing on each side a question regarding the topics studied as a way to practice. Students go the front throw the dice and answer the questions while playing.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Katty! Thanks for sharing!
DeleteSometimes you have to go with the flow, and when that happens in the classroom, we must take action. We have our plans and activities all set but when the time comes, there might be changes. Some of those changes might be drops of inspiration, we change those activities and come up with something completely different. I believe that is ok since we need to be flexible.
ReplyDeleteIf it was not written in your plan maybe you can take a picture or write a littles post it and keep it there so you can remember and know it works.
Thanks for sharing! I used to write notes in my plannings, but your suggestion about pictures and post-its is great!
