At Alex Green Design Technology Magnet School
Project-Based Learning
Teaching Strategy
Students do well when there is some type of gamification technology, hands on activity, movement, and/or arts and crafts. Here the students were able to build a prototype for a client that wanted a specific tool to help them with their daily life. Students use mind-maps, blueprints, and written out descriptions before they could build the finished product. This brought out the creativity and imagination students had in them.

EL Strategy
Repetition is necessary when students first begin learning English. Here we are singing, collaborating, and choral reading the letter sounds together as a warm-up for the day. This will enhance multimedia engagement for English Language Learners.
How to grow your professionism!
This can be connected to the ISTE and ACET Standards for Educators to
enhance and improve their use of technology.

Fighting against the silent period in the early years of being an ESL student
Multilingual students adapting to a new environment and language will tend to become invisible in the classroom. It typically starts when children realize that their home language is not understood at school and their second language skills are insufficient or absent.
They then stop speaking completely
in that setting. This is called Selective mutism.
Resources for Students!
Clips
This is a tool that is used in class to help students create and collaborate in the classroom. Through this app students are able to piece together clips to make their very own short film/movie. Here is a video that I created to showcase my school Alex Green Design Technology Magnet school. ---->
