Love the picture analogy to describe the #LearningPit I love the collaboration part of this technique and want this for my classroom. Eureka!! @JamesNottinghm #ParkEdTech #newtechniques

Working to find the balance between standardized test readiness and authentic learning: #parkedtech

One way I want to generate #relevantlearning in English II is to offer choices of study within assigned texts. Students can research information based on their interests. #parkedtech

Confusion is a stepping stone, not the end of the road! #learningpit #parkedtech

@TraceyKracht I've noticed a shift from students plagiarising work from the internet to plagiarising work from their peers. Is there a way to check against other work that has been submitted? #parkedtech

Which one work best? Looking for recommendations #edchat #moedchat ... Best Free Plagiarism Checking Sites for Teachers techlearning.com/news/best-free… #parkedtech

Will Richardson's TED Talk states that students need freedom from a classroom, a set schedule, a class-driven pace, and even a teacher. Didn't COVID teaching show that this freedom isn't productive for most learners? #parkedtech

Students need to be taught how to learn independently. How do we also foster a thirst for self-directed education? #parkedtech

@MsBruhnELA When Yeokum was built, it was designed for classrooms to exist without walls so students could learn from all teachers. The building has had partitions to define space since the 90s. What pedagogical shifts have occurred?

Many videos have mentioned that linearity/age grouping are problematic in schools bc it doesn't reflect how we learn outside of school. This seems like a big, structural change that is beyond the classroom level. What can we do in our classes to help address this? #parkedtech

Hello, it's me.

@angelachavez77 @TeachToConnect I'm trying to come up with an authentic way for students to have built-in reading time in the school day. Often students forget they love to read because they are bogged down with required reading!

"...it's still vital that we promote and encourage a love of reading across all formats -- along with a facility for questioning, analyzing, discerning and synthesizing with other media." edutopia.org/blog/technolog… #parkedtech @teachtoconnect

@MsBruhnELA I like to give my students the choice in what they read. Next year, my students will have a unit where they can choose between three novels. I hope to add more options in the upcoming years! #ParkEdTech.

Kristin Vogt (2016) argues that choice is one vital element to encouraging student agency. What are your favorite ways to incorporate student choice in your classrooms? #parkedtech

Students need to have both voice and choice in order for them to deeply engage in what they are learning. Student opinions matter! #ParkEdTech.

According to @Columbia, students only retain 20% of the material they hear during the last 10 minutes of class. No new info at the end of the hour! #ParkEdTech.

@HLamas5 I do jigsaw puzzles and work on creative projects to balance my brain and keep Chilled Cow's YouTube on during class. #teacher_mindfulness

Hey Teachers- What are some strategies (apps or otherwise) you are using to find calm/peace in the midst of teaching during a pandemic? #teacher_mindfulness

@Campbell1610 Smaller classes mean more time to connect with each student! #covidteaching

With Covid the past two years there have been many negatives in schools. What is one POSITIVE in your classroom/school from the Covid pandemic? #edchat #covidteaching

I'm surprised we are still going forward with the #MOEOC2021. Does anyone have any COVID EOC tips or tricks?

To quote @johngreen , Twitter “is not great for me as an individual and I'm not convinced it's super productive for societal discourse.” #livelaughlumbarsupport
