T3 international conference

[Sean Bird]

Anyone want to share some of their favorite things or resources from the recent T3 in Dallas?

I had an amazingly delightful time and enjoyed all of the sessions. Saving Bluey with balloons and drones was fun!

I was encouraged by several Building Thinking Classroom workshops. Even the closing session with Howie Hua got us out of our seats and we got 4 corners modeled on a grand scale - make arguments about which is better fractions, decimals, percents, ratios and convince the person in the middle.

At the beginning of my session I asked participants how they engage students (especially at the beginning of class)

I wish we had time for more of them to explain to the group, like what is "Human Stopwatch", but most of them I understand

- notice and wonder

- which one doesn't belong (aka which 3 go together)

- videos

- songs

- student(s) BYO joke

- Logic puzzles

- demos to challenge thinking/understanding (science teacher love this one)

- 2 truths and a lie

- how many ways can you solve this problem?

- TI-Nspire QP bell ringers

- Put your head down and pick it up as close to 30 seconds as you can. Maybe the winner gets a prize. (Can you take attendance in 30 seconds)

And f you didn't make it to the conference, feel free to share some of your favorite ways to start class

Thanks,

Mr. Bird

Hi Sean

Just to say how much I miss being part of the T3 conference - since TI stopped doing any work in the UK I (like most of my UK based teachers) have dropped out of this wonderful community.

I hope it was as successful an event as I remember them being in years gone by!

Best wishes

Andy
