If you are looking for a way to engage students in math while collecting great data Prodigy Math might be for you. Look at how it works and ways teachers can utilize this resource to make math exciting.

When you think of an online course, do you often think feel it lacks interaction? Spend some time looking into interactivity opportunities for your online course and your students will benefit.

Students observe and test their reflexes, including the (involuntary) pupillary response and (voluntary) reaction times using their dominant and non-dominant hands, as a way to further explore how reflexes occur in humans. They gain insights into how our bodies react to stimuli, and how some reactions and body movements are controlled automatically, without conscious thought. Using information from the associated lesson about how robots react to situations, including the stimulus-to-response framework, students see how engineers use human reflexes as examples for controls for robots.

Readworks provides FREE content, curriculum, and tools to power teaching and learning from Kindergarten to 12th Grade. Caryn Kelly from Soita discusses how to use this tool for online learning.

Students learn about human reflexes, how our bodies react to stimuli and how some body reactions and movements are controlled automatically, without thinking consciously about the movement or responses. In the associated activity, students explore how reflexes work in the human body by observing an involuntary human reflex and testing their own reaction times using dominant and non-dominant hands. Once students understand the stimulus-to-response framework components as a way to describe human reflexes and reactions in certain situations, they connect this knowledge to how robots can be programmed to conduct similar reactions.

Building on what they learned about wired and wireless electrical connections in the associated lesson, students use Android phones to take advantage of Bluetooth wireless connections to remotely guide LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT robots through a maze. They compare this wireless remote control navigation to their previous experiences navigating LEGO robots via programming. A PowerPoint® presentation and pre/post quizzes are provided.

WOSU Public Media is uniquely positioned to foster social-emotional development in a pre-school and elementary schools. The broadcast and digital assets of PBS Kids are trusted by parents, have a wide following with families, and are aligned with early learning and development standards recognized by educators and policymakers. This session provides a strong foundation in social and emotional awareness content integrating PBS Learning Apps, WOSU Public Media’s Ready to Learn resources, and a new video series, Drawing with Mr. J, to engage early learning educators with students and their families. Educators will learn how to put into action educational programming to open the door for rich conversations between children, parents, and educators about self-regulation, agency, identity and emotional balance aligned with Ohio’s Social and Emotional Learning Standards.

Social-Emotional Learning is an important component of being successful in school and society. In this session, each of the 5 components of social-emotional learning (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making) will be explored. That exploration will be done through tools connected to lesson plans. In the time allotted for this session, the participant could potentially be introduced to 10-15 new integration tools. Each of those tools will be weaved into a lesson that supports social-emotional learning.

Looking for a different way to challenge the way your students convey their understanding while encouraging them to be creative? Stop motion animation may be an option for you. Stop motion animation adds a novel and exciting spin to projects and presentations for all subject areas. Learn how to get started in this presentation.

Since opening in the fall of 2018, the National Veterans Memorial and Museum (NVMM) has been capturing the audio history of Veterans. The Stewart Malquist Fund has provided funding to promote sharing these oral histories with students to honor Veterans. WOSU Classroom has partnered with NVMM to create a story catalog and curriculum for students in grades 5-8. Students explore oral histories shared by Veterans at the National Veterans Memorial and Museum (NVMM) to create a poetic narrative published into an eBook.

With the challenge to program computers to mimic the human reaction after touching a hot object, students program LEGO® robots to "react" and move back quickly once their touch sensors bump into something. By relating human senses to electronic sensors used in robots, students see the similarities between the human brain and its engineering counterpart, the computer, and come to better understand the functioning of sensors in both applications. They apply an understanding of the human "stimulus-sensor-coordinator-effector-response" framework to logically understand human and robot actions.
