Growth Mindset ?'s from Christina Polatajko

Christina has a wealth of resources on her website: missphysicaleducation.com and one of them is a great list of Growth Mindset questions: https://goo.gl/HyfoHa

She suggested using this in an "Active Walk" or as we might call it, here in the US, a "Walk and Talk". I was thinking that you could combine the questions with a projector and the use of the Random Name Picker from Classtools to randomly pick the questions. So... here it is: https://www.classtools.net/random-name-picker/49_P2eBYg

 

The text is a bit small when you get the result because of the length of the questions, but if you hold down "Ctrl" and click "+" you can zoom it up. I suggest 150%. One of the best things about using this spinner is that you can remove a question after it comes up so, no repeats. If you bookmark the spinner, you can use over and over throughout the year after any activity.

    PDF to 4 Page (or Larger) Poster

    Discussion 
    If you have a pdf that you'd like to enlarge, you can do so right from within Adobe Reader. Here's how: Go to "Print", then choose "Poster": Next, set the scale to "200%" for 4 pages (experiment for larger) and I prefer no overlap, so set it to 0: PRINT!!

    Human Bingo from Jonathan Alsheimer

    Discussion 
    This cool "Human Bingo" game can be used to spice up review and as an opportunity for formative feedback. Video explanation: bit.ly/2QKyatl It was shared by Jonathan Alsheimer (@mr_Alsheimer) and can be used for just about any topic! Get creative! I have created a spreadsheet to make setting up the game fast and easy. Just enter your questions and answers and the sheet sets up the slips that students put in each Bingo box, as well generates a random question order. Here's the spreadsheet: http://bit.ly/2uFazlb
