Domain 3

Can be used to start a new topic and evolve understanding. Activate prior knowledge by providing a list of key concepts and have learners map their connections. Throughout instruction, have learners revisit and revise their concept maps. Have them submit a picture of their final map before leaving class to help you identify misconceptions.

Concept Mapping

Use Quizizz, Kahoot, Gimkit, or Blooket periodically throughout the lesson! You can take the Quizizz sample lesson & can post it for your asynchronous learners

Gamify It

Quick formative assessment at the conclusion of the lesson. Needs to have specific prompts that take students no more than 5 minutes to complete.

Exit Tickets

Create a hashtag such as #whatiknowaboutcells. Have learners share a photo that depicts something they learned OR ask a question they have and share it in the chat with the hashtag.
