You can do that in pear deck oh yeah! You’re so helpful thank you. I’m doing staff trivia and sometimes it’s hard for them to hear me read the question and there’s no projector. So this way they can have the question in their phone as we go along!

Software Q: Is anyone aware of a slide style web based program that can have audience members open the presentation on their own devices but the pace of the presentation is controlled by the host? #presentation #slides #techquestion #edutech

Thanks for sharing - Everyone that knows me knows I love a good spreadsheet!! #SpreadsheetNerd #Spreadsheets4life #OntMath
Ontario ranks high in math thanks to educators making learning not just about the fundamentals, but also rich problems that get students to think & use tools, because PISA questions aren't "basic." Here's a short 🧵 of some doozies. Let's start with a SPREADSHEET?!?! 🤯

This is amazing! Negative numbers as opposites should be introduced as early as positive numbers. It is intuitive to kids if you introduce them together! #TVDSBMath #Math #Negativenumbers #Zeropairs Thank you for sharing.
I’ve never understood why we hide negative numbers from kids for so long. Here’s my 5yo exploring negative numbers. (Treasure chest represent positive #s; robber represents negative #s) He instinctively made zero pairs. Let the kids explore!

Such an engaging framework for practice!
Tried something new with #MFM2P today! We had an equation auction (idea from @mathequalslove). Started with a clip of a Survivor auction to set the mood. It was fun and productive, I’d definitely do this type of activity again. One lot went for $700 after a bidding war 😅

One of my favourite math challenges - 4 cards, using BEDMAS try and make the numbers 1-30 - you want to see who has resilience and stamina when faced with a challenge try this challenge! Impressive work @CaradocPS #tvdsbmath #tvdsb

#BuildingThinkingClassrooms automated grading #rubric: Easy to use! Spend more of your planning time actually planning (and not creating & analyzing multiple paper copies of a process that can be easily automated): https://t.co/KTlNjv1QuL

This is a great framework for building vocab and could be adapted for any subject. #Literacy #Multilanguagelearners #Destream #tvdsb #literacyfieldguide #tvdsbliteracy #destreamleads
Going to take a Literacy approach to teaching Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration tomorrow in #SNC1W. Take a look below...I love the spot for students to include the word in other languages. Thanks @TVDSBLiteracy for the idea at the GREAT #ENL1W PD in @TVDSB last week.
