David Futch @futchd from Discovery Education did a training with a few of us today. Part of the training was observing him teach a model lesson. We visited a third grade class, where David taught a lesson on third grade economics SOLs. One concept/vocabulary that student are responsible for learning is "opportunity cost". His intro included an activity where students colored two pictures on either side of a single sheet of paper. One was a fish, and the other was a butterfly. Once they were done, they had to choose one and cut it out. Cutting out one ruined the one on the other side. The ruined picture is the opportunity cost. He also shared other DE resources, like videos and Board Builder. BB is DE's version of Glogster. We spent the rest of the day going through the many resources available through DE. He also answered our dozens of questions.
Gotta cut this short. We've got a tropical storm on top of us so it's time to go home.
