One of the benefits of #classroom discussion is tracking student ideas. You need to make their thinking visible, as it happens. One easy approach? Think-Puzzle-Explore. bit.ly/37nwsp5 @mguhlin #educoach #edchat #teaching #learning #edu

Homework can be useful to help students #learning, but isn't always the best strategy. Here are alternatives to homework. bit.ly/3fAA1gg @teachthought #edchat #teachertwitter #globalED #education

Those who teach must find something they love outside of their work in order to do their work. Teaching is not supposed to consume you it is supposed to enhance a you that’s already there. #LCActivate #LincolnCenterEducation

Does anyone know how to get old iPhones donated to schools? We need them to help record for our project! #Apple #iPhone #donate #SchoolSupplies @Apple #myfirstTweet @nysut

@145lewis @MisterCMaine @edutopia @mindyahrens1 What program did you use when you asked students to respond to the reflection questions? I liked how they saw the question, and then could respond to it directly through video. I could try something similar with Nearpod, but am curious about other ways.

@MrsCherry_SMS @MisterCMaine @edutopia @mindyahrens1 3 of… I’m hesitant to throw out a list of programs because the cognitive work of wrestling with insecurities takes so much bandwidth, the last thing we wanted to do was introduce additional frustration inherent in leaning new tools.

Happy to share my all time fav project! One that embraces multimedia to engage w/ language, share complex stories & transcend stereotypes. Empathy, culture, creativity, problem solving, & literacy. Via @edutopia 👉🏼edutopia.org/article/projec… w/ guide for Ts. @mindyahrens1 @145lewis

@145lewis @MisterCMaine @edutopia @mindyahrens1 This makes a lot of sense! Thank you.

@MrsCherry_SMS @MisterCMaine @edutopia @mindyahrens1 2 of… Platforms/apps you already know and use allow students to focus on content as opposed to working through technical hang ups. The more time spent posting reflection and responding to one another’s the deeper the insights into their story.

@145lewis @MisterCMaine @edutopia @mindyahrens1 We use Flipgrid, Nearpod, Jamboard, Screen-Cast-O-Matic. My students have Chromebooks and I have an HP. We currently don't have Apple products.

@MrsCherry_SMS @MisterCMaine @edutopia @mindyahrens1 1 of… That’s a great question. We kept things pretty basic through shared documents and the camera app. However, this is where there’s a ton of room for growth. What applications do you love and use? The best tools are the ones with which you and your Ss are comfortable.

@145lewis @MisterCMaine @edutopia @mindyahrens1 Hi everyone! I am wondering what device or program did you use to embed the reflection questions students responded to after watching "The Danger of A Single Story"?

@MrsCher54445916 @MisterCMaine @edutopia @mindyahrens1 Let us know how we can help!

@145lewis @MisterCMaine @edutopia @mindyahrens1 I'd love to connect. Do you have an e-mail addess I could send you some more information?
