tag(s): artificial intelligence (149), differentiation (90), personalized learning (10)
In the Classroom
Use Gruvy's AI-driven reading comprehension activities to assign students personalized passages at their reading levels. Group students with similar reading abilities or comprehension skills and have them work through the exercises together. After students have practiced various concepts on Gruvy, have them design their own math or reading games based on what they've learned. Students can create questions or scenarios, incorporating Gruvy's topics, and then swap with classmates to play each other's games. Use Gruvy's math games to create a "Math Challenge Day" where students rotate through various stations, each focusing on a different skill (like addition, subtraction, or multiplication).You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Using Dr. Seuss's rhyming books like, The Cat in the Hat, set up a relay race where students work in teams to generate rhyming words based on prompts from the books. Each team gets a point for every correct rhyme, encouraging creativity and reinforcing phonics skills. After reading a Dr. Seuss story, have students create a whimsical character, complete with a name, unique features, and a special talent. Use Bartholomew and the Oobleck to introduce a fun science activity where students make "Oobleck". They'll explore states of matter and record observations, engaging with early science concepts through hands-on learning. Organize a classroom "reading party" where students come dressed as Dr. Seuss characters or create hats like the Cat in the Hat. They can read their favorite Dr. Seuss books aloud or in small groups. Select a Dr. Seuss book and ask students to pick out unusual or "nonsense" words. They can guess meanings from context, create definitions, and then illustrate the words.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

After watching a ClickView math video, present students with real-world problems related to the video's content. Have them work in pairs or small groups to solve the problems using the concepts they learned. Host a "Math Video Showcase" where students present math tutorial videos they made to the class, allowing for peer feedback and discussion. After viewing a video about art techniques or historical art movements, students can create their own artwork using the methods discussed. Following a ClickView science video, organize a hands-on experiment related to the video's content. For example, if the video discusses ecosystems, students can create mini-ecosystems in a jar. After watching a video on a literary topic or a story, have students create their own short stories or scripts incorporating themes, characters, or settings from the video. Share the stories using a digital storytelling tool such as Book Creator, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Share the resources in this collection around Constitution Day or any time that your class is learning about the Constitution. The lesson plans are ready to go or try out one of the interactives. Check out the game - Do I Have a Right? reviewed here . This interactive game challenges students to apply their knowledge of constitutional rights by helping clients determine whether their rights have been violated. Students act as lawyers, deciding whether to take on cases based on legal issues like freedom of speech, privacy, and more. Create a mock Constitutional Convention where students act as delegates from different states. Students can be assigned historical figures or states and must debate issues like representation and states' rights, eventually creating a document resembling the U.S. Constitution. Assign students different landmark Supreme Court cases that have shaped constitutional law, such as Brown v. Board of Education or Tinker v. Des Moines. Students can work in groups to research the case, its implications, and its relevance to today's society. Have students find current news stories where constitutional rights are being debated or applied, such as voting rights or privacy rights in relation to new technologies.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
