Higher Level thinking - Student Led Investigations

1.
We really enjoyed the Language Acquisition PLC. It was nice to see how they were using videos and captions to familiarize the students with language.  Making movies with captions is something we could try incorporating. 

The other higher level thinking group gave us some great ideas. Using a rubric for the students to self evaluate themselves would be one tool.

There were several PLCs that talked about being cross curricular.  Incorporating more math, social studies, and English into the lessons is something we would like to strive for in our classes. 

2.
We learned about Blogging, iMovies, flipped classrooms, classroom design, science, and collaboration. Working in our PLCs gave us a chance to work with people we do not always get to see and to share our different teaching styles and ideas . Working in a group allows us to try different things and come back and share what we learned.
