Physical Education/Health Best Practice Meeting Update
This year we ended up combining the physical education and health teachers for their annual best practice meeting.  It turned out to be a great day.  The group started off the day with a 21st century skills activity and had great discussion around what it means to be a 21st century educator and student.  The group then did an activity on providing effective feedback to students and had another great discussion.  Brandon shared some technology before lunch.  After lunch the teachers had the opportunity to network and share resources.  The day ended looking at academic vocabulary.  Another great year with a great bunch of teachers.

Social Studies Best Practice Meeting
Brandon's favorite group (because he is a social studies teacher) came to the MRVED on Thursday for their best practice meeting.  The day started once again with a 21st century skills activity.  Brandon then had the opportunity to model some technology and have a discussion about the impacts of AR technology on education.  The group broke for lunch and had a great time sharing stories and catching up over the dinner table.  After the lunch the teachers came back and had the opportunity to hear from a couple ladies from PBS as to what PBS can offer for their classrooms.  The last thing the teachers did was network and they were on their way home.  It's always nice for Brandon to catch up with his former colleagues and the teachers thoroughly enjoyed the day.
