    Episode 130: Fay Dolson and Anna Meyerhoff

    In this special finale, join me as I sit down with two remarkable educators: Fay Dolson and Anna Meyerhoff. These passionate Pre-K and Kindergarten teachers share their insights, experiences, and challenges in teaching Computer Science (CS) to students who are just embarking on their educational journey. Remember, every journey begins with a single step, and these young learners are taking their first steps into the world of technology. This is my final episode of the SPS Digital Learning hour and I will be turning it over the SPS Digital Learning and SIS department. By the time this episode is available I will no longer be working for the Springfield Public Schools system.

    Power Up Your Learning Episode 6: Assessments & Feedback

    Do if you want to power up your assessment practices and help students genuinely enjoy the journey of demonstrating mastery? In this episode we talk about starting small by integrating one or two engaging tools like Quizziz, Quizlet Live, Blooket or more into your everyday instruction. By leveraging game mechanics, you can provide feedback effectively with your students so you can spend more time coaching students through the learning process.

    Power Up Your Learning Episode 2: Level 1 Goals of the Game!

    In Level 1 of Power Up Your Classroom we delve into the why of the game. By understanding the unique characteristics of gamification and game-based learning, we will be prepared to integrate both types into our classrooms. My goal for today’s episode is to give you a greater understanding of the why behind Gamification and Game-Based Learning and the what they are. You might even begin to see how you are already doing some of these inside your classroom with your students and you don't even know it.
