@MrsBiggieGrade5 @AlaneAdamsBooks That sounds like a lot of fun!

@AlaneAdamsBooks I love my 30-Second Dance Party button. It’s a spontaneous moment of pure joy and nonjudgmental dance moves that gets the class up and shaking and laughing after our brains have been focused and working.

@Steph4Science Extra sports equipment like baseball bats and golf clubs can be found in my room

@MSmathstuff I am so sorry. I am immunocompromised and felt similarly when I contracted it at the end of February after we had students protesting the mask mandates. Try getting the monoclonal antibodies! I found it to be helpful.

@MarisaEThompson Oh no! Sounds like forced rest and relaxation! Make sure you take care of yourself.

Tissues, lozenges, Sudafed, and a Spring Break sunset at an empty beach. I’ll take it.

@MarisaEThompson You are not alone

A microphone. One hour. Thousand+ educators. What would you say?

@cherrie_hanson I feel your pain and can tell you that as a teacher of 20 years this has been my most challenging year as well. Each grade is facing different challenges due to the time away from schools, structure, and daily accountability for the last 2 years. Take it one day at a time.

@cultofpedagogy When I taught middle school students about chemical and physical changes and focused the lesson around rumors being a chemical change. I love including childrens books into the lessons!

Science teachers: Tell me about the most effective lesson you ever taught.

@matthew_owsley That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing!

@barryeducated Quite a setup!! I may be setting up something similar soon!

Three monitors to make it all work 1.) Laptop what students see 2.) Secondary monitor for attendance and emails 3.) Yearbook iMac for photos and spreads Varidesk so I can stand up and now I can walk around to monitor students!!!!!

Our school is raising funds to an online Chromebook monitoring system. Any donations would be appreciated! gofundme.com/f/supportive-t…

@MarisaEThompson You will rock it!!

I’ll be teaching at a new school: new-to-me students, many new-to-me colleagues, new-to-me course, new-to-me classroom. Excited to learn what, how & why they all do what they do. Excited to test what’s been working for us in a new environment. Excited (& some nerves, too) ❤️

@cove_mr Hoping to achieve? Or something about a personal goal you have for yourself? Depending on how “deep” you want to get, you could include something you are missing as well.

@alicekeeler Please include information to indicate that just because they “turned in” work doesn’t mean it is complete. Too often I had parents tell me their student turned in work but when I opened the attachment it was my template with nothing added at all.

Working on a guide for parents for #googleClassroom what tips do you think I should include? #googleEDu

@cultofpedagogy I have found that using natural disasters and current events got students interested. We often took the approach of considering how to help people who have different disasters in their area- in project based learning.

Earth science teachers, I'm seeking advice for a teacher friend: How do you make your subject interesting and engaging to students who are not inherently interested in school at all? Thinking about HS upperclassmen who have basically checked out.

@ErinBland6 @VIDASHARKS Where are you ordering the fabrics from? I am so impressed by this!

@DrBradJohnson Yes!! @PrincipalEcker has always been supportive of this and it makes a huge difference for my family and I

Admin, as much as possible allow staff that are parents to be parents. Opportunities to watch their child in a skit , recital, award, etc. Cover their class if needed. This may not seem like much but trust me it’s huge!

@cultofpedagogy I will feel more comfortable asking students to do makeup work that I can provide thanks to videos from this year! I think I will be much better at providing work for when I have a sub, too!!

Would like your thoughts on this question: How will your instruction be different when you are able to teach completely face-to-face with full capacity classes? In other words, once we no longer have any pandemic-related restrictions? What have been your take-aways from all this?

@biblio_phile One thing that I have started to do is have students submit their document along with a screencastify or flipgrid of them reading their work aloud. This has really helped them catch many of their own mistakes and I have the benefit of hearing them read their own work.

@katiemartinedu Connections to the students home- their pets, their support groups, and sharing our homes with them to make connections that might not have otherwise occurred as we find things we have in common instead of our differences.

Given what we have learned about education through #Covid19, what would you do to redesign school moving forward if you had a magic wand? #distancelearning #remotelearning

@barryeducated @JamboardM I love this!!! You are the Jamboard queen!!

Started our new unit about the power of good storytelling from different perspectives and different global experiences. @JamboardM for the win!
