Which of the following is less torturous?


Educational Duct Tape Question: 
How can I make blended learning dynamic and
meaningful?



Keep things practical. Bottomline, learning is the
priority.

Pushing boundaries of our traditional education system.

Dynamic vs Static Characters in ELA



Static = old school, characters stay the same

Dynamic = Growth, going beyond



The Dynamic Learning Framework - going beyond the bell,
grade level & subject, tools, due date, the walls.

Building future citizens



Steps to take to make class more Dynamic



Voice and choice - beyond grade & subject

Ken Robinson TED - Do Schools Kill Creativity?

Think… Where is that wiggle room in your curriculum
to offer voice and choice?

Choice Boards! - self-directed learning, autonomy,
and ownership



Choice can happen in many ways - Content,
process, product, and MORE! (Voice and Choice: It’s
More Than Just "What")





Choice Board best practices



Start with the learning goal.

Start with 2-3 choices at first and ramp up later.

Choice of tool? Should be Familiar already. Build up
that toolbox!

How many “beyonds” can you hit on during choice boards?



They aren’t “have-tos” that must be touched on for
every lesson

Beyond the Tool - using old tools for new things or
using a tool in ways not originally it was intended for
