    Episode 7: Getting the Most out of Microsoft Forms

    Are you looking for a free and powerful tool to help you: · Quickly check for student understanding on an essential topic, · Flip the classroom and take advantage of asynchronous learning opportunities, or · Empower your students to collect data to support their learning in a project-based unit? If so, then you will definitely want to check out Microsoft Forms! Microsoft Forms is included in your Office 365 Suite of tools and is easily accessible from your Office 365 home page at www.portal.office.com. Microsoft Forms is a no-excuses, high engagement tool that is accessible on any internet connected device - including laptops, tablets, and smartphones and works equally well in the Windows 10, Android, and iOS environments. In short, your students can access your forms wherever they are and whenever they have a few minutes to engage! Forms is also part of the student suite of tools in Office 365, so students can also use this tool to collect their own data. In today’s episode we will take a quick look at accessing forms, creating a form (or quiz) to use with your students, adjusting the settings on a form, sharing a form with your students or colleagues, and reviewing the data from your form.

    Episode 6: Getting Started with Podcasting in the Classroom

    Have you ever thought: "Podcasts seem like a great concept, but I have no idea how to get started"? The universal acceptance of mobile devices, combined with a shift in the way people share and access content has created huge opportunities for educators – both for flipping classroom instruction as well as for creating an authentic audience for your students’ work.  In this episode, I share the general process and resources that I use to create this podcast.

    Episode 1: BHS Orchestra - The Show Must Go On!

    Welcome to the TEaCH Fest podcast, where we explore student-centered learning pedagogy and EdTech and in the classroom. In this inaugural episode, we hear from several students in Dr. Rachel Lauber’s Orchestra Program at Brighton High School as they discuss the challenges they have overcome and the lessons they have learned while participating in the performing arts during the COVID pandemic. Listening to these young musicians, I am inspired by their resilience, creativity, and sense of community. Their comments are excerpts from a longer interview that was part of a day-long content drop at the end of the first semester. This special event was a culmination of a semester’s work exploring a variety of elements associated with the work of musicians. Student work products include an impressive collection of solo and collaborative musical performances, visual art projects, student photography, and other creative pursuits. If you would like to hear the full interview and see other amazing content including the artwork and virtual performances by these students, check out their project page at bhsorchestras.mystrikingly.com
