Discussions can be started in 2 ways: 1. You post a question or comment (by adding a new “question table” 2. Anthony Kim, author of the book, posts a question or discussion And then everyone responds!  No matter who posts - the goal is that as many people as possible contribute ideas PS.  Need a copy of the book?  Go to the link below. How it really works: It is easy for something like this to die a slow death - with limited participation as people forget to log in.  So our recommendation?  Set aside time each week to log-in and see what’s going on in here! If your team has regular meetings - make it a goal for everyone to log in prior to your meeting or do it when you are all together?

[![GooglePlusPL3](https://www.edelements.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PL_Playbook/GooglePlusPL3.png?width=282&name=GooglePlusPL3.png "GooglePlusPL3")](https://www.teachingchannel.org/videos/engage-students-meaningful-work-hth) **Robyn Lynn **This is an awesome example of CCSS. I appreciated that the students were able to work on aproject that was meaningful to them as individuals. Passion for a subject generates motivation. Great work!  Thanks for sharing ![dummy-author.png](https://www.edelements.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/dummy-author.png?width=74&name=dummy-author.png "dummy-author.png") **Anthony Kim - **OWNER Discussion Topic 6: What is the the future of teaching and what does the classroom look like? On page 32, I talk about different tech tools and where they fit on Bloom's.   Here is a short 2 minute video by Bloomberg showing an example of a class using a rotational model and multiple types of technology to support the instruction.           [![Googleplus4](https://www.edelements.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PL_Playbook/Googleplus4.png?width=325&name=Googleplus4.png "Googleplus4")](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUWwfcJ1-jQ) **Nancy Allen-Mastro** I am worried about the future of teaching. Teachers are tired, and it's no wonder.  They are working harder than the students!  This needs to change, or we will not attract people to the profession.  Did anyone see this article about Millenials turning away from teaching?  (See link below.)  Personalizing learning holds the potential to motivate people to go into teaching for the great profession it is.  [https://www.cabinetreport.com/human-resou...](https://www.cabinetreport.com/human-resources/have-millenials-turned-away-from-teaching-profession) ![dummy-author.png](https://www.edelements.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/dummy-author.png?width=74&name=dummy-author.png "dummy-author.png") **Anthony Kim - **OWNER Discussion Topic 7: On page 47, I reference an article in the Washington Post, "Teacher spends two days as a student and is showed by what she learns". Read the full article below.   ![seprator.png](https://www.edelements.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/seprator.png?width=247&name=seprator.png "seprator.png") We've all sat through meetings that last hours, run back to back, all day long. We all complain about these. In this article, the teacher describes what a student experience is like at school.   [![Googleplus5](https://www.edelements.com/hubfs/PL_Playbook/Googleplus5.png "Googleplus5")](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2014/10/24/teacher-spends-two-days-as-a-student-and-is-shocked-at-what-she-learned/) **2Bannounced** Respectfully Joamber, according to most indicators and metrics, the workplace of the 21st actually will be, by necessity, a place where companies "tailor to the individual" strengths and needs of the employee. Fun and learning are also not mutually exclusive, in fact the evidence is that students retain more when they are interested and are enjoying the subject matter (especially when coupled with autonomy and the opportunity to master a new topic or skill).  ![dummy-author.png](https://www.edelements.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/dummy-author.png?width=74&name=dummy-author.png "dummy-author.png") **Anthony Kim - **OWNER Discussion Topic 2: What Employers Want /How to Prep Students     In Part 1 I included a list of the top 10 things employers are seeking. Which ones do you think your school /district currently prepares students for?  Which ones do you think you don’t? ![seprator.png](https://www.edelements.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Images/seprator.png?width=247&name=seprator.png "seprator.png") [![Googleplus7](https://www.edelements.com/hubfs/PL_Playbook/Googleplus7.png "Googleplus7")](http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2014/11/12/the-10-skills-employers-most-want-in-2015-graduates/)   **Amy Jenkins** Another interesting article on a related topic: [http://www.forbes.com/sites/rajeevpeshawaria/2015/07/23/integrated-thginking/](http://www.forbes.com/sites/rajeevpeshawaria/2015/07/23/integrated-thginking/) ### Menu ### Follow Us [Twitter](https://twitter.com/edelements) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/edelements) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/education-elements?trk=tyah&trkInfo=tas%3Aeducation+ele) Google+ [![Get in touch](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/428371/564bb3c9-ca7c-4d0e-8cdc-3e3455478a3c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/428371/564bb3c9-ca7c-4d0e-8cdc-3e3455478a3c) ### Contact Us [mailto:info@edelements.com](mailto:info@edelements.com) [info@edelements.com](mailto:info@edelements.com) [support@edelements.com](mailto:support@edelements.com) [**West Coast Address:**](https://www.google.com/maps/place/999+Skyway+Rd,+San+Carlos+Airport,+San+Carlos,+CA+94070/@37.5072784,-122.2468135,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x808fa2124b2f2acf:0xb3e6d9138bbd4867) [San Carlos Office (Main)](https://www.google.com/maps/place/999+Skyway+Rd,+San+Carlos+Airport,+San+Carlos,+CA+94070/@37.5072784,-122.2468135,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x808fa2124b2f2acf:0xb3e6d9138bbd4867) [999 Skyway Rd.](https://www.google.com/maps/place/999+Skyway+Rd,+San+Carlos+Airport,+San+Carlos,+CA+94070/@37.5072784,-122.2468135,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x808fa2124b2f2acf:0xb3e6d9138bbd4867) [San Carlos, CA 94070](https://www.google.com/maps/place/999+Skyway+Rd,+San+Carlos+Airport,+San+Carlos,+CA+94070/@37.5072784,-122.2468135,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x808fa2124b2f2acf:0xb3e6d9138bbd4867) [**East Coast Address:**](https://www.google.com/maps/place/718+7th+St+NW,+Washington,+DC+20001/@38.89911,-77.022223,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x89b7b791fc7d6991:0x60d7c9c599cdb404) [East Coast Office](https://www.google.com/maps/place/718+7th+St+NW,+Washington,+DC+20001/@38.89911,-77.022223,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x89b7b791fc7d6991:0x60d7c9c599cdb404) [718 7th St NW](https://www.google.com/maps/place/718+7th+St+NW,+Washington,+DC+20001/@38.89911,-77.022223,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x89b7b791fc7d6991:0x60d7c9c599cdb404) [Washington, DC 20001](https://www.google.com/maps/place/718+7th+St+NW,+Washington,+DC+20001/@38.89911,-77.022223,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x89b7b791fc7d6991:0x60d7c9c599cdb404)
