Blended Learning Series 2015-2016

I shared GoFormative.com with the Grand Ledge High School teachers in an email Tuesday night (Sep.29).  I used GoFormative.com for my warm-up activity on Wednesday (Sep.30).  Both went well. I built a quick assignment to show off the functionality of GoFormative.com, emailed it to teachers, and 14 tried the assignment.  We share Good Things each day in class (part of the Capturing Kids' Hearts training/philosophy), so on Wednesday instead of just asking for volunteers to share a Good Thing, I had ALL students share something on GoFormative.com.  After I saw everyone had done one, I showed the live results (without names) and read a few of them.  The students enjoyed the variety, and I liked forcing ALL students to come up with something.  One student's personal device (Android phone) could not get the "Continue without logging in" button to appear, but other than that, no hiccups in using GoFormative.com in my classroom.

Here is a fun one-minute video of what I did: https://animoto.com/play/Yvevakg4V7xHse0uxWNIjg

And here is the message I wrote to my colleagues:

Hello High School Teachers,
