Spotlight on Strategies
This activity gives you the opportunity to explore, try new things, and earn a number of badges. We've heard of and had some training on Discovery Education. Along with videos, texts, lesson plans, images, and other resources, there is a great database of research based instructional strategies to incorporate digital media.
There are many ways to access them, here are 2:
1) (My preference)-This Link-It has the strategies broken down by skill. You will need your Discovery Education login information for this, let me know if you need help getting it!
2) Spotlight on Strategies on the DEN blog-You don't need to login to access it, but it takes a little more digging to find what you might be looking for.
To earn a new badge: Find a new strategy, use it in your classroom, and provide Christy with evidence that you used it (video, picture, student work, etc...be sure to provide the name of the strategy as well). You will earn 1 badge per strategy used (and you can earn as many as you want).
