One-Minute Spotlight Videos Feature 🐓 🎭 🦠 in Barrington 220

The Department of Technology & Innovation releases a new episode of Learning NOW in Barrington 220 each week at www.youtube.com/learningnow220. Each One-Minute Spotlight episode highlights some of the ways Barrington 220 teachers are teaching—and students are learning—in one-minute stories about a lesson or activity.

Here are our newest episodes:

Hough Elementary - Ms. Magdalener - Grade 4

Grade 4 students at Hough School in Ms. Magdalener’s class learn about perimeter and area through “Chicken Math.” Using the app Class Kick and the web app Braining Camp, students access tools that lead them through the steps necessary to measure the size of the teacher’s chicken coop, re-create a drawing of the coop with an on-screen geoboard, and then calculate various measurements of perimeter and area. 🐓

Barrington High School - Ms. Nowak - Drama

Barrington 220 High School Drama teacher Paula Nowak uses Flipgrid and iMovie to facilitate peer-to-peer feedback for her Drama students. 🎭

A Year of Innovation During the Pandemic - Dr. Fuller & Mr. Gorman

Much has changed in the past year as the Barrington 220 community has leaned on technology—and each other—to continue offering the highest level of education possible. Teachers and students found new ways to effectively teach and learn. Whether synchronous or asynchronous, remote or in-person, blended learning strategies allowed student-centered learning to continue. As more students return for in-person learning, we’ll continue to innovate in Barrington 220. 🦠
