Student teams use sensorsâmotion detectors and accelerometersâto collect walking gait data from group members. They import their collected position and acceleration data into Excel® for graphing and analysis to discover the relationships between position, velocity and acceleration in the walking gaits. Then they apply their understanding of slopes of secant lines and Riemann sums to generate and graph additional data. These activities provide practice in the data collection and analysis of systems, similar to the work of real-world engineers.

Tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) – Dungeons & Dragons being the most popular example - can positively impact the multiple facets of students’ lives: academics, durable skills, social-emotional learning. In Part One of our two part series, let's quest together as we encounter how research supports using TTRPGs in education, explore stories of teachers using TTRPGs in their classrooms, and discover ideas and ways that librarians and the library can play a critical role in making such transformative game-based learning a success.
Before the webinar begins, please complete Slides 3-5 of the “Character Sheet Reflection Tool” (i.e. “Before the Quest”). We will complete the second half (“At the End of the Quest”) of the Reflection Tool at the end of the webinar.

Welcome to Gaming Readapted!
This website was developed as a resource for those interested in learning more about adaptive video gaming. It provides information ranging from general overviews of adaptive controllers to the nitty gritty details on how to set up specific adaptive controllers for users. It is best to start in the General section for an overview of popular adaptive controllers and information on how to pick the right controller for users. For more detailed information on ordering and setting up a specific controller, go to the Adaptive Controllers section. For information on how to connect an adaptive controller to a specific console, use the Controller Connect Tool (https://www.gamingreadapted.com/controller-connect-tool). Updates regarding adaptive gaming equipment can be found on the New Updates page (https://www.gamingreadapted.com/new-updates). Please visit our YouTube page for overviews and instructional videos for the adaptive controllers (https://www.youtube.com/@gamingreadapted).
The mission of Gaming Readapted is not just to allow individuals with disabilities to play video games, but to play video games without limits.

This activity is an easy way to demonstrate the fundamental properties of polar and non-polar molecules (such as water and oil), how they interact, and the affect surfactants (such as soap) have on their interactions. Students see the behavior of oil and water when placed together, and the importance soap (a surfactant) plays in the mixing of oil and water which is why soap is used every day to clean greasy objects, such as hands and dishes. This activity is recommended for all levels of student, grades 3-12, as it can easily be scaled to meet any desired level of difficulty.

3rd Grade Reading teacher Katie Bannon from PS 110 in New York explains how she validates student responses with meaningful feedback when their responses are not quite on track. Rather than saying "no, thats not right", she comments on the response and then poses additional questions to guide their thinking. Katie also shares that she focuses on improving her questioning which she says takes practice, and she tries to avoid questions that elicit a yes or no response.

Use this resource to review a possible curriculum for a high school level Global Studies course aligned to the English-Language Arts Common Core State Standards and Wisconsin Social Studies Standards. The goal of this course is to ensure that students are purposeful, motivated readers who make meaning from what they read to be democratic citizens now and in the future. Throughout this course, students will become independent learners that understand the value of reading and writing in today’s global community. This course will foster the 21st Century skills of creativity, collaboration, problem solving, critical thinking, communication, productivity, and innovation within a context that uses standards from both the Wisconsin Social Studies Standards and the Common Core State Standards for English-language Arts (CCSS ELA). Moving throughout the year, students will focus on the five strands of social studies aligned by the Wisconsin Standards:
Geography: People, Places, and Environment
History: Time, Continuity, and Change
Political Science and Citizenship: Power, Authority, Governance, and Responsibility
Economics: Production, Distribution, Exchange, and Consumption
The Behavior Sciences: Individuals, Institutions, and Cultures
