It is always bitter sweet to end one of my favorite map quests of the year: “Escape from Arkham”. But ending it with the SOS activity from #emc2learning is always such a great fit. All 3 clowns were sus’d out and we took care of the Joker in the end…barely.😉 #xplap

A2- In my gamified classroom the immersion of my students when I started being intentional with my language changed drastically. The biggest change was I rarely utter the word test. Boss battle brings a whole difference energy of excitement. #TGEChat

A1- The longer I teach the more I see the value in being more clear and concise with my language. I also provide my students more discussion opportunities than I did early in my career. As for my gamified room, changing the language has made a huge impact! #TGEChat

Hello everyone! Doing a slow #TGEChat I’m Will, 5th grade teacher in Michigan. I was born on a farm in southern Minnesota so I speak English, but mostly in the form of idioms.

Teacher retention: if you want to keep the best teachers, treat them like they are the best. Few teachers leave an environment where they feel valued, supported, appreciated, and treated like professionals.

Finally doing a #TGEChat slow chat! I’m Will, 5th grade teacher in Michigan. I love both breakout rooms and scavenger hunts. I’ve even had a scavenger hunt that ended in a breakout. 🤷‍♂️😂

During our Boss Battle with Brainiac today all of our computers started glitching: screens blinking, slide pages fritzing. My students were all convinced it was the work of the evil Brainiac! Fortunately for the Eververse, we prevailed. Now we travel to Wakanda. #xplap #TGEChat

Didn't have to drop any 5th graders off at the train station today. 😆 My 5th graders are going to give this resource a shot this afternoon. I'm excited to see what ideas they have. #emc2learning
