An excellent inventory for students to determine their multiple intelligences.
This tool kit was created by Sun West Colony Schools.
In the past students had difficulty keeping their focus on academic
collaboration when using One Note. It was key for me to help the students
frame thought-provoking questions in their entries that would invite valuable
comments. Also when commenting, it was important that the students knew
the difference between social and academic writing. A true educational online
collaboration is not about socializing, but about students and teacher helping
each other grow in their learning. This was a different writing space than
students are accustomed to. At the end of this unit the students had explored
other student authored pages, talked about online safety, online identity and
cyber bullying and worked together to create a display showcasing their novel
study collaboration.
As part of the ELA theme Chocolate students were asked to think about
how new products are developed. They brainstormed new chocolate products and
then selected their best idea to continue. Each student was asked to create a
marketing plan, radio or TV ads, as well as print ads promoting their products.
How it demonstrates Creativity? I followed the 6 Phases of Creativity from the
Learning Together Booklet. Students were told the basic framework for the
assignment, but they were given total freedom for selecting the product and
designing the elements of the assignment. They did several brainstorming tasks
along the way to help them refine their ideas.

Students were required to research nuclear reactors and use this information to create a model
of a reactor containing all of the main features.

A wealth of online personality tests for free. These may be some of the tests you wish to consider doing with older students as part of their learner profiles. Consider doing the Jungian Scales/Myers Briggs. The brain dominance, temperament quiz and memory test are also very interesting.
My artifact this year was teaching a Guided Math unit with my Grade 7 class. I had my students
work together with similar abilities to achieve full learning potential. My supports and guidance while doing this unit was other teachers in our school who are already implementing Guided Math in their classroom. Students collaborated well within their groups and were happy with the process and their individual results.
The following files contain all learning outcomes for each grade from kindergarten through grade 12 written in student-friendly I CAN statements, as well as outcomes.
This is a very useful tool for PeBL initiatives and can be used by teachers or students when designing learning activities and assignments.

The following is a collection of resources needed to run professional learning about Project Based Learning at Sun West.
Included items:
The PowerPoint presentation, planning templates, project ideas, essential question templates, student action plan template, student reflection template and a link to outcomes for each grade (I CAN statements).
The following is an example of a template for a weekly reflection students could use if they were working on PBL or Genius Hour, or any project.
To give students an aid to help them track their food intake and track their exercise.
MyFitnessPal is a website ( www.myfitnesspal.com ) that helps people count their calories by entering it into an online diary, as well as keep track of their exercise. • Exercise Tracker: MyFitnessPal has more than 350 exercise stored in its database, and it shows how much each person burns during each activity, based on their specific height, weight, and gender. It includes most cardio and strength training workouts, as well as yoga and Pilates. • The app’s calorie counter is basically an online diary of each MyFitnessPal member’s intake. The counter allows members to set daily goals, and the app can add multiple foods at once. It also automatically stores food and meals that members eat often, which makes them easy to find when they eat them again and need to log them. • MyFitnessPal is not a one-size-fits-all app. Personal diet profiles can be changed to fit a person’s specific needs, whether they are on a strict diet or have certain recommendations from their doctor or dietitian. The program calculates caloric need based on height, weight, gender, and lifestyle.
This chart will help you get started with Personalized Learning (PL) - even if you're a bit unsure. It looks at ways you can just dip your toe into PL, put your leg into PL or jump all in!

Patient Problem Solving is a method of solving problems that you don't
already know how to solve. You are required to ask questions in order to
even start solving the problem. Sometimes those questions are asked of the
teacher, sometimes other students, and sometimes Google. For example,
students are asked to use a ticker tape timer to calculate their speed. First of
all students (and maybe you as the teacher) need to figure out what a ticker
tape timer does. There are a variety of ways to solve these problems, and
creativity will help them get to an answer.
