@teacher2teacher @saravdwerf I love this! Would you be willing to share the template?

With this Week 1 approach, T @saravdwerf ensures that each S feels heard, every single day.

@AmandaMGoetz Next time try setting the expectations in the invitation. “You are invited to a tech-free sumner party!” Perhaps that will work.

My daughter is 7 and had a slumber party last night. We do not have phones or iPads. Just computer games allowed for a set time a week. The friend had a phone and played Roblox the whole time. Didn’t want to play dress up, school, anything make believe, etc. 1) Should I enforce the same rules in my house? 2) it’s so sad that kids are so addicted they can’t play pretend anymore. My friends and I would make up elaborate plays, talk shows, dances and more. I attribute so much of my creativity to this. Screen time social pressure for kids is so real.

@TheMathGuru @howie_hua @MathTherapy I agree with the reasoning behind it, but I disagree completely with not connecting the work to the student. I NEVER criticize or use “you” statements. However I often ask “you” questions. “Why do you think this?” “How can you prove it?” “Do you think this answer is reasonable?”

Wow okay hot take from @howie_hua on the latest ep of @MathTherapy: we all need to stop using the word “YOU” in math class 😱‼️ What do you think?! Agree / disagree / somewhere in between? Let me know LET’S GET INTO IT👇👇👇

@rickmercer Ottawa is also Sold Out…🥹😿😭

This one goes out to @howie_hua! Thank you for sharing so many great, usable alternative strategies in short, easy to share sound bites! My 4’s and 5’s love them!

Sounds about right.

@PlayCraftLearn @onedrive Thank you! In the reality of sharing devices among students and classrooms, now we will (hopefully) be able to use MinecraftEDU hassle free!

@edpuzzle Obviously it is a real life construction of a Minecraft goose!

🎉 It's #FriYAY and we really liked all your ideas last week, so we thought we could try again! #Teachers: 🤔 What's this? Wrong answers only

"We have a whole new year ahead of us. And wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all be a little more gentle with each other, a little more loving, and have a little more empathy, and maybe, next year at this time we'd like each other a little more.” ~Judy Garland

@MarcusLuther6 I tell my students however long it took them to complete a quiz or major task, multiplied by the number of them I need to mark… if I get their papers back before that number of hours after school goes by they should be thankful. Can you tell I’m a math teacher?!?

This… AND I see kids learning how to feed themselves and others with something more than take out or microwaveable food! It’s a win win!

@teachergoals Banana… honey… chocolate… SO many things!

Put your response below! 👇

@edutopia Problem is as much as we encourage focusing on what they are learning, there are still parents drilling (or paying) their kids for the A… we need to respectfully educate the parents and get them on the same page.

Do your students regularly ask questions about assignments like, “How do I get an A?” If so, it may be time to dig your way out of the assessment trap, writes instructional designer and associate professor Sarah Schroeder: edut.to/33Aoxn6

@ZBauermaster I agree the principal doesn’t need one. Our school has a reserved space for the chief custodian though. That is necessary, and we’ll deserved.

Signs like this should be removed.

@BookSpotlight I would want someone to tell me that something like that could help bring my story to the world. But then I’m usually the one who is noticing this is an issue in the first place🙃

Q to the crowd: If an author is (frequently) talking about a lack of sales and you can clearly see that a new cover and fixed formatting would make a world of difference in the appeal of their book to new readers, do you tell them in a DM or leave it?

@GiftedTawk I get that feeling the first time I see school supplies in the seasonal section of Walmart. Not the first few crates they put out in June to tease us… the “ok Canada Day is done and summer stock is passé… fill those shelves with back to school” push.

Teachers: For me, it's always July 18th that the flutterings begins. I'm curious to know, when you start experiencing similar butterflies about returning to school and the factors that contribute to them.

@GiftedTawk @BoredTeachers Every sentence is truth. Unfortunately teachers have to be very careful if they want to express these facts directly to parents.

Teachers: Share your valuable insights regarding this meme shared by @BoredTeachers. Your thoughtful contributions are greatly appreciated.

@howie_hua Sorry Howie my auto correct mangled your name!

@howie_hua Bowie, I love your quick little videos! Do you have them stored on some website somewhere that teachers can access the skill they want when they need it?

New TikTok video: Egyptian multiplication is cool

@3Duxdesign Thank you ! I would love a copy!

@MrsLoobysClass several ways to play... 2nd-6th. Still working on the project guide and playing with the materials :)
