A1: Belongingness begins with valuing EVERYONE, including their backgrounds, beliefs, and feelings. Even if we don't agree with everything someone believes, we need to respect the person. #EinsteinFellows22

A1: I've had many great learning experiences out of the classroom. Hard to pick a most meaningful 1... Instead, I'd encourage all science teachers to look for all the experiences they can. It's helps u stay sharp and inspired which then benefits your students. #EinsteinFellows21

@joerogan @SteveKirsche claimed that no one is willing to engage with him on the safety of covid vaccines.
Steve actually did have someone step up, @AviBittMD and the video can be found here; youtu.be/e1nF2YAn9DQ
What would be real interesting is a rematch on JRP for $2mil

Perfect gift on Christmas morning - successful launch of the James Webb Space Telescope! #UnfoldTheUniverse #JWST

A3: Being part of @AEF_Program helped me helped me focus more beyond my own classroom. As teachers, we need to help other teachers more & more as we grow. That's why I moved from the classroom to be able to work with teachers. #EinsteinFellows21

A2: Building a strong network of teacher friends is SO important! The best way to grow your network is to take advantage of opportunities (e.g. @PolarTREC & @AEF_Program). The friends you make through these programs will benefit you for the rest of your career!

A1: Teacher prep programs need to be strong in both content and teaching strategies. They need to be connected with awesome teachers. You can learn more from a great teacher than you can from a great professor. #EinsteinFellows21

Intro: The 3 words I'd use to describe myself as a teacher would be: Improving, Caring, and Blessed. #EinsteinFellows21

Here's a great aviation related resource for kids! Thanks @NASAaero

Happy #NationalAviationDay ✈️ Orville, the flying squirrel loves to fly & wants to show you all about flight & the supersonic X-59 experimental aircraft. With this @NASASTEM activity you can follow along & become an official NASA junior pilot! go.nasa.gov/3AWewPm

A big thank you to everyone who took part in tonight #CitizenScience Twitter chat. I have so many new resources to look into! #EinsteinFellows20

Intro: Jumping in late! Debbie from Pittsburgh #EinsteinFellows19 The #GlobeObserver app is an amazing tool I used in my class! #einsteinfellows20

Introduction: Share a #smartphone app you can use to document #citizenscience in your neighborhood. Bonus points if you use a jpg, png, gif in your answer. #EinsteinFellows20

@jlatchana I'm feeling like FL is being left out of the Cicada craze!
English
A3: Seeing phenomena in your back yard is a high motivator for finding out the 'what do you wonder' questions. #CicadaBroodX has my kids looking up life cycles, decibel measurements, mating dances, and correct vocabulary for body parts. #CitizenScience #Einsteinfellows20

@TheRealChandaJ @Team_eBird I haven't used that one. I'll have to give it a try!
English
A2: To include more voices in #citizenscience we have to SPREAD THE WORD & host PD about apps with diverse groups of educators. @Team_eBird is awesome & allows students and amateur scientists to collect real-time data about bird distribution and abundance.

@MachinNorris And once they're invested in a topic they WANT to learn more about it!
English
A3: Lots of great examples of #CitizenScience successes thru programs like @Foldit, @the_zooniverse, & my favorite, @NASA. Data used was from ALL ages - students can impact science research in a meaningful way. I wish more teachers used it w/their students. #EinsteinFellows20
English
@GuarraiaMichael Great point. And, with so many different #CitizenScience projects in so many areas of science, it's relatively easy to find one that'll fit into almost any curriculum
English
Q3: Developing curricular resources that utilize #CitizenScience projects is a great way to develop #STEM knowledge and #STEMliteracy in students, all while contributing to real science! #EinsteinFellows20
English
@AlmasiKama I think it helps students feel like what they do is actually valued by scientists and other STEM professionals which is great!
English
A2: One of the best things about #CitizenScience is that it's available to anyone of any age. This gives e1 a seat at the table, allowing them to impact science in their own neighborhood. At the same time, it helps them grow their science skills & interest.
