Student Digital Learning Evidence
The learning goal was: Student will be able to explain how energy can be conserved, transferred, or transformed within a circuit. Students could choose the type of tool, to work solo or with a group, and the method to show evidence of learning. Out of 1 class period of tool play, and 2 class periods for student creation, came some fantastic evidence of learning. Here are some of the digital displays of learning that students have shared with their classmates.
Animoto- With limited characters students had to comunicate understanding through images and video.
