1st graders #TPSTakeOff as they practice reading Heart Words, determine the difference between consonants & vowels and ask questions before reading! @MBaiseyFCPS @ThurmontPrimary @MrsRShoemaker

A3 I can't wait to add more playlist and HyperDocs in my classroom. They will allow my students to take ownership of their learning and to show their knowledge in many different ways. @harryhanna #EDUC530

@paul_emerich A3: I feel that the staff and the adminitation can make teaching sustainable! The stress can bring anyone down but if you have people you work with to lean on can make all the difference. #LearnLAP @harryhanna #educ530

Q3: What sorts of beliefs, practices, or conditions make teaching sustainable? #SustainableTeaching #learnlap

@paul_emerich A1: So we can keep and build up teacher to be the best they can be. #learnlap @harryhanna #educ530

Q1: Why is it important that teaching is sustainable? #SustainableTeaching #learnlap

@ajpodchaski A2: No resistance here but did have limitations with my little ones! We not only onboarded students but families as well. #edtechchat @harryhanna #educ530

Q2: What kind of resistance did you experience about the increase use of devices during the pandemic? #edtechchat

@ajpodchaski A1: I never had 1:1 before the pandemic teaching 1st grade. It was nice knowing every student would be able to get on a device at the same time. #educ530 @harryhanna

A1: We made the shift to send devices home that never went home before, but our primary stance of technology assists the learning never changed. #edtechchat

@harryhanna Q2: Onboarding students! It also needs to be a safe place for students to feel comfortable engaging and interacting with materials digitally.#educ530chat #blendedlearning

Q2 - #educ530chat #blendedlearning

@harryhanna Q4: It is the space where the students, families, and teachers can collaborate. It is a 1 stop shop to house information @schoology. It can allow students to be independent once onboarded.#educ530chat #blendedlearning

Q4 for tonight is live at #educ530chat and deals with #blendedlearning and LMS.

@harryhanna A3: I think that the essential tools for blended learning are some type of technology but using it in a meaningful way and set a purpose for the students to know that this is meaningful use of technology and experiences that the teacher proves to the students. #educ530chat

Question 3 for tonight! #educ530chat #blendedlearning

@harryhanna My name is Rachel Shoemaker and I teach 1st grade in Maryland. I teach all content areas. @harryhanna #educ530

Time for our first question! Check it out at @educ530chat where we are discussing #blendedlearning ! #edchat

Can't wait to use @PlayPosit next year. So many options! It would be a great addition no matter what next year holds. Can use it for all subject areas. It will be a great addition to my rotations and I also love that I can gather data too!! #EDUC502 #WHATSTICKSWITHYOU @harryhanna

@CharityDodd Since my district has allowed virtual meeting with students, some of this time is spent on allowing students to have an opportunity to share how they are feeling. #BLinAction #EDUC502 @harryhanna

Pete the Cat is a favorite in my class! @harryhanna #EDUC502
