@nadeneklein11 Loved presenting with you!

Great article on how the current system doesn’t work for students. I would love to get rid of grades in my classroom!

@cookstev Great article! I would absolutely love to get rid of grades and standardized tests!

We placed 2nd in the Mtn Dog Challenge at #incredibledog @Purina in Avon,CO. Beat out by an awesome team and new friends becca_kreski and her dog Cody. It was 40 degrees and raining but Mr. Biggs rocked it! Look for us on TV in July! Check out our travels @RefugeintheWild

@AmyEDeJong @MayaWarren Hey ladies. Congrats. Just watched your amazing race season again. Love you! As a science teacher I just loved how your intelligence shined. Best of luck with all you do!

Great read for introverts and extroverts. Makes you think twice about the power of group work and realize that individual work has great value as well. #quiet #introverts #differentiation #KidsDeserveIt #thepowerofintroverts

@EricJRas That sounds crazy fun! I did not know this existed.

Had forgotten about this great quote and saw it somewhere yesterday. I used it in Health Class today to talk about emotional health and healthy relationships. Dr. Suess continues to share his endless wisdom! #drsuess #classroomculture #EmotionalIntelligence #teachered #lrnchat

Hi Followers. I lost my husband in Aug. and have started a new blog to try to navigate teaching after grief and connect with others in similar situations. Check out my first blog post! Teaching After Grief: My story teachingaftergrief.com/2018/11/my-sto… #grief #youngwidow #teachingchallenges

Just finished this novel. Should be required reading for our students. Maybe 8th grade. It is an insightful look into ongoing inequalities. #thehateyougive #schoolculture #empathy goodreads.com/book/show/3207…

Check out my PBL unit I presented today. Superheros, Monsters and Villains Oh My! bit.ly/SMVComicCon18 #PBL #coloradoscienceconference #middleschoolscience

Presenting at Colorado Science Conference today. Having a great time. #coloradoscienceconference #scienceteachersrule

Great resource for helping students detect fake news. Thanks @EricJRas hcdsb.org/Students/Libra…

This is my second year at a new school and although I like it, the change has been hard. As I am going through these edtech lessons I am really realizing that I need to embrace the change and continue to be a risk taker and model teacher at my new school. #edtechteamonline

Listened to Mary Ellen West today and learned about a great new tech resource for students called H5P (h5p.org) Lots of great resources for creating interim assessments and giving students practice. #edtechteamonline #flippedlearning

Was part of a hang out with Micah Shippee (@micahshippee) for my google cohort. He has some amazing tools for PBL I learned about embedding pictures and information on maps. Love the Tour Builder and the power students will feel when using this tool. Thanks for great tips!

Forgot to give a shout out the Denver Public Library (@denverlibrary ). They were at Comic Con and were giving out free books and buttons. My students were loving it. #denvercomiccon #summerReading Thank you all so much for your commitment to the community!

This is very important for PBL. Spend time during the project giving feedback. twitter.com/Catlin_Tucker/…

One of the most important parts of PBL is developing a good driving question. Buck Institute has a good starter activity here but you can also create your own. It is important that the question is open ended & intriguing to students. #edtechteamonline bie.org/blog/how_do_i_…
