@Namaraledu A5: Either Google Forms/Surveys really give counselees another platform to use their voice with me. Being able to write out their thoughts really brings out a totally different engagement that I wouldn't typically get in session #RIHPD

Q5 (last question): What edtech tools help you up the engagement? Share your toolkit! #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A4: Meditation! Before a quiz or test or even for a reset during the week, I offer meditation and students really look forward to it! #RIHPD

Q4: Share one of your most engaging activities. Something the students always look forward to doing. #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A3: Sitting next to my counselees in session. Often times, counselees sit across from me and we're divided by my desk. When they're off-task or disengaged, I sometimes sit in one of the other chairs near them. It makes the atmosphere more relaxed and more conversational #RIHPD

Q3: What's your preferred method of redirecting students who are off-task or disengaged? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A2: Counseling looks different for each student, so meeting them where they are and setting small goals goes a long way. The more success, the more inclined they feel to do better #RIHPD

Q2: What do you do with students who are apathetic about learning? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A1: Real talk! Talking w/ my counselees about my own personal experiences when it comes to finding motivation & providing tangible strategies! #RIHPD

Q1: What is your most successful classroom strategy for motivating students? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu Hi there! This is Amy Carangelo, school counselor at Indian Hills. Spring break plans include a whole lot of nothing! 🙏 #RIHPD

Let's get started! Introduce yourself, what and where you teach! Planning anything forSpring break? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu Thanks, Nick! Going to look up Google tips and tricks right now! Have a good night!

Alright everyone! Nice and quick. That is a wrap for tonight's #RIHPD Twitter chat. See you next month!

@Namaraledu LOL!! P.S. BIG Scrubs fan!

Q4: What is one Google tip, trick, or "hack" you have used in your teaching/learning? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A5: Google Forms has been a go-to for inventory follow-ups with counselees #RIHPD

Q5: What is one lesson/activity you have designed using Google tools? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A3: Coming from a Guidance perspective, using Google platforms assist in discovering needs of students that may not be as overtly discussed in sessions #RIHPD

Q3: How do you differentiate learning in the classroom using Google tools? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A2: Does using the Google search engine as a resource to use Google apps count? LOL. YouTube is a great resource, too! #RIHPD

Q2: What do you recommend (resource) as a way to learn more about using/implementing Google apps? where do you learn about google tips? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A1: Google Survey is my go-to as a counselor. Whenever I need feedback or need a read on what my counselees are thinking, surveys help teach me more about the population I serve and devise ways to help them #RIHPD

Q1: What is your favorite Google tool for teaching and learning? Why? #RIHPD

@susanconfrancis @Namaraledu Hi Susan!

@AmyFezza @Namaraledu Hi Amy

And that is a wrap! Thank you everyone for attending tonight's chat. I am looking forward to our next! Have a great night. #RIHPD

@Namaraledu BeBrave Spotlight Submissions??

We should totally have a wall in the building with these responses to #6. They were awesome! #RIHPD

@AmyFezza Ugh.. i am so guilty of this

Q6 (last): What is one tip/trick/advice you can share to help other educators start off on the right foot? #RIHPD

@Namaraledu A5: While trying to see as many students as we can on a daily basis, a main focus is preparing for the college application season. Collecting junior surveys and getting the senior class on board with transcript request processes & procedures is a main initiative right now #RIHPD

Q5: What activities are you planning during your first unit? What is your current unit of study or what are you currently tackling in your role? #RIHPD
