I am not your pencil and paper kind of teacher. I recently moved to a district that has allowed me to use Google Classroom. While I am new to this, I am loving it!! My students love using Google classroom, as well. I believe in the productive struggle and watching the development of my students through this. I enjoy giving my students activities to try by themselves, whether individually, with partners or with groups, and allowing them to explore the content before guiding them through it. I find most students to not have the experiences or background knowledge necessary for the content being taught. By allowing them the exploration before hand, I am providing them with these experiences which I am able to guide them into understanding.
