Useful Information In and Out of the Classroom 02/24/23

Here are some interesting sites that I’ve found this week, thanks to my PLN. As a teacher, I feel we have to keep up to date concerning research in our field and current issues in the education system. I hope some of these inspire you, inform you, and even have you asking questions. Thank you for coming by and visiting!

Using #ChatGPT for Differentiation
- “I decided to test the limits of ChatGPT when it came to offering differentiation ideas — something that can really be time-consuming for teachers.” (L:T; SA:A)

Adventure Learning - “Establishing a sense of community within physical education classrooms is essential to developing students that are open to trying new activities and experiences. The OPEN Adventure module offers students an opportunity to connect with their classmates, build trust, and problem solve through a variety of fun and engaging activities. The activities can be grouped together as shown in the block plan for an Adventure Learning unit or can be utilized individually as an instant activity for any lesson. The activities within this module develop and reinforce responsible behaviors, while sometimes stretching students beyond their comfort zone. All participants are given the opportunity to contribute to small and large group activities through social engagement and building connections with their classmates that extend beyond physical education.” (L:M,H; SA:PE)
