EduProtocols: The Books

What Are EduProtocols?

EduProtocols are lesson shells into which teachers insert their curriculum to teach more efficiently and deliver more engaging content. The format of the EduProtocols stays the same, the content changes. All protocols incorporate the 4 Cs: Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity; thus ensuring meaningful student engagement. As of August 2022, there are over 30 different EduProtocols to choose from, each with its own instructional purpose.

Thin Slides

Thin slides are a great end-of-the period/day review activity to check for understanding or a pre-instruction activity. Each student creates a single slide in a shared class slide deck. The teacher assigns a topic for the class slide deck, and students have 3 minutes to add one word and one image to their slide related to the topic. Once time has expired, each student gives an 8-12 second explanation of their word and image choice, whip-around fashion from their seats. Topics are endless: presidents, key math terms, literary devices, science terms/concepts, grammar errors, abstract nouns, reflections, anything that can be expressed in visual terms.Thin Slides are explained in Chapter 4 of the EduProtocol Field Guide Book 2.

Number Mania

Number Mania is the infographic EduProtocol. Students first “crowdsource” statistics about the teacher assigned topic on a Google Sheet. Once the shared Google Sheet has at least one statistic per student, as a class, review the data and potentially identify those statistics that are the most significant. Students then add the statistics and coordinating icons onto a Number Mania Slides template. The Noun Project is a great source of millions of icons. Students can be asked to write summaries about their Number Mania, or even create multiple Number Manias in order to compare.

Number Mania is explained in Chapter 10 of the EduProtocol Field Guide Book 2.
