Fast & Curious

The EduProtocol Fast and Curious badge is issued to individuals that have demonstrated their ability to create and implement a Fast and Curious activity. If you are so, so, so tired of the endless grading and making packets, and you are seeing that editable PDFs are just as bad in online learning, this is the EduProtocol for you!

Iron Chef

The EduProtocol Iron Chef badge is issued to individuals that have demonstrated their ability to create and implement an Iron Chef activity. The basic Iron Chef Lesson Plan is deceptively simple and has a myriad of nuances. The Iron Chef Lesson Plan can be used in nearly any grade level (with adaptation), from kindergarten all the way through adult learning. The basic conceptual layout of an Iron Chef goes like this: Each group has up to five students, each student completes one slide. That slide will contain a certain amount of academic output/writing, one or two pictures, and a secret ingredient. Students should be provided with the same amount of information they would need in order to write a paragraph at their grade level. And then there's the secret ingredient… Just like in the Iron Chef show, the secret ingredient applies to all slides, and it's basically an additional element that the students add to their slide that is very wide open and somehow thematically supports what's on the page. For instance, if students were learning about microscopes, there might be a picture of something gross or disgusting at the molecular level. If there was an Iron Chef about irony, there might be a meme or GIF that was ironic.

Math Reps

The EduProtocol Math Reps badge is issued to individuals that have demonstrated their ability to create and implement a Math Reps activity. Math Reps - so easy and so effective!

Random Emoji

The EduProtocol Random Emoji Power Paragraph badge is issued to individuals that have demonstrated their ability to create and implement a Random Emoji Power Paragraph activity. Here are the instructions for a Random Emoji Smart Start! The basic concept is wickedly simple: give kids ONE Emoji at a time, up to five total. (the Emoji come from Ian's page and the kids type their answers in-one-at-a-time in Socrative. The first Emoji is the controlling idea, to be pursued. When kids have five sentences in, they submit. Then we vote.

Smart Start

The EduProtocol Smart and Start badge is issued to individuals that have demonstrated their ability to create and implement a Smart and Start activity. The EduProtocol Smart Start is a way to start up your classroom. Think about it: Kids go to camp and get rapidly acclimated on the first day or two - then they have a great week. The more expensive a university is, the more days freshmen spend in a Summer Camp. Businesses spend a LOT of money for lavish on-boarding and culture-building in order to benefit their productivity. In K-12, what do we do? Launch kids into the syllabus, the rules and then rocket right into the content - with about the same results every year… What if there was a better way to start up your classroom? Well, there is. The EduProtocol Smart Start. As EduProtocol co-author Jon Corippo explains, “I started thinking about the way my classes came in each year and I realized that all the kooky issues (no names on papers, "lost homework", chaotic behavior) were not the previous teacher's fault. It was my fault - I hadn't properly "bootcamped" the class. Me. My fault. So I went to work....”
