Dr. B’s Classroom

 As stated in my previous blog, I plan to incorporate learning tools for my students such as KaHoot and iReady, to help stimulate their young minds. The result of instant rewards will release the dopamine rush to keep them engage in whatever exercise we are currently working on. And especially with KaHoot, the incentive to win will compel the competitive spirit many individuals possess. KaHoot is a game oriented learning tool, so even if some of my students are unsuccessful, the disappointment will come from losing the game and not receiving a bad grade. It’s essentially low stakes with high rewards. Additionally, I will be able to see which students need more help on the material we are reviewing based on their ranking after the game. IReady holds a similar premise to KaHoot. It’s lesson is perfectly targeted to whatever level of understanding a student is at, ergo it helps review material that the student might be struggling on. Furthermore, if a student were to due poorly on the les

To ensure my students receive the best education i can give them, I plan on incorporating shared discussion rooms during our daily zoom/teams meetings. My lesson plans will cover a variety of topics involving science, math, English, and history at a first-fifth grade level (depending on what grade level I cover.) The importance of each lesson is to ensure they are engaging to my students. When given homework I will make sure it helps develop their skills to analyze, infer, and apply information, especially in the science section of the lesson plan. A reward system will also be put in place, not necessarily for good grades, but for their ability to show growth, improvement, and trying their hardest on each assignment. Good grades are often favored more than the actually attempt a student makes. Many students try their best, but fall short when their best is perceived as good enough. I want to make sure that their hard work does not feel wasted or unearned, and that any struggles with th
