Hi Jim. I would love to see some geometric principles where items must be built to certain specifications based on theorems.
Working on some new subject-relevant activities for the @UnrealEngine. Given your subject area, what is something you think would be well suited to an interactive 3d learning experience? A simulation? A particular narrative? A principle?

Constant communication. Small talks, in class quick checks, test confidence scales, and unit reflections. I want to ensure that my students are receiving everything possible to assist them in their learning. #ReinventTheClassroom #HPTeachingFellows
Q5: How do you check-in with your learners to ensure their learning experiences are personal and accessible?
#ReinventTheClassroom
I struggle at times finding the most effective resource to meet the exact learning needs. There are so many resources that I get overwhelmed. I have used social media to connect with others in order to see what they are using. #ReinventTheClassroom #HPTeachingFellows
Q4: What are some challenges you have encountered when it comes to intentionally creating personal and accessible learning and what strategies have you leveraged in order to overcome those challenges?
#ReinventTheClassroom
This was an answer that spoke to me. I tend to jump into the pool head first and try everything at once. I have learned to implement change in stages creates less adjustment issues with my students. #ReinventTheClassroom #HPTeachingFellows
Q4: Realizing I can’t do it all at once. I’ve added more strategies, structures & surprises each week, month, year to increase the tools to help engage & elevate my students’ learning opportunities! #ReinventTheClassroom

Q3: What emerging technologies do you believe can make learning more personal and accessible? Why?
#ReinventTheClassroom
A2) Technology can break barriers to learning. It opens up possibilities that exist in the real world and give students the power to take their learning in a wide range of directions based on personal interests. Students can own outcomes. #ReinventTheClassroom #HPTeachingFellows
Q2: How can powerful technology empower learners to find agency and autonomy in their learning?
#ReinventTheClassroom
A1) Education that is meaningful for each student. It is connected to their own personal experiences. It is also available to every student in a manner that they can understand. #ReinventTheClassroom #HPTeachingFellows
