I chat w/Illinois teacher Carrie Baughcum @HeckAwesome about sketchnoting. Carrie has been using sketchnoting 4 several years&her knowledge on it is impressive. Listen to today's episode to learn about sketchnoting and how you can use it in your classroom. dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/t…

Our participants ask, and we respond! Check out @ElizaKnight's super-interesting article on Cross-Genre Branding, here: irelandwritertours.com/p/more-interes… #writingcommunity

Check fiona-claire.com for tips on what to look for when you visit Ireland & learn why in 1960s Ireland you could only have as much water as you could carry. Kinda like Twitter where you can only use as many words as will f— #irish #traveltip #history #writingcommunity

@MeakinMiss I love this!

When are teachers celebrating the 100th Day of school (if you do!) ⭐️🥳🍎

@CarlaMeyrink @HeatherMoraal @specialtechie It's obvious 2 me that this model isn't the most effective 4 the majority of Ss. We are doing our best. Our eLearning program is awesome, but nothing replaces in person. Teachers will ALWAYS be needed. Those who thought we'd eventually be replaced by robots were wrong.#pd4uandme

@HeatherMoraal @TamiJ123 @specialtechie I'm dreaming of some f2f times with our kids. Many of them are soooo depressed &, since there's no end in sight, they're starting to give up. #pd4uandme

We are finally returning to campus. We are not allowed to teach from there, but we can do asesorias presenciales, so in person interventions & support, w/up to 9 Ss a teacher. Time to figure out a new thing. #pd4uandme

@CarlaMeyrink @specialtechie So frustrating. Bars & restaurants (w/minimized capacity) are open here too, but not schools. There is so much tension & frustration right now. #pd4uandme

@TamiJ123 @specialtechie Same with us in Dom Rep. It is so incredibly frustrating. Everything is open: bars, restaurants, hotels, gyms, malls, etc.... everything except education. I simply don't understand our govt. #pd4uandme

@specialtechie @polonerd @teresagross625 The tricky part is new teaching must still happen online, but now teachers will have small intervention groups in person, so figuring out how 2 do both & not sacrifice the eLearning quality will be critical. It won't be easy, but I'm confident we'll make it work! #pd4uandme

@polonerd @TamiJ123 @teresagross625 Sounds like an interesting structure! #PD4uandme

@polonerd @teresagross625 @specialtechie Whenever we start a blended model, that's what we'll be doing too (Wed. remote). I'm very excited to see Ss in person & not through Zoom. A whole year of Zoom classes is rough for all parties involved. #pd4uandme

@TamiJ123 @teresagross625 @specialtechie We have been in since August. It's so great to have Ss around every day. Actually Wednesday is full remote and other 4 days are 1/2 and 1/2. Working really well. #PD4uandme

@KymHarjes I know! I had sent my Ss home w/their books "in case" & then we never saw each other in person again. It was also my husband's birthday weekend. I was glued to the news that entire weekend trying to make sense of everything. #pd4uandme

@HeatherMoraal Small world! Yes, it is!! I love Guadalajara. I'm at the American School.

@TamiJ123 Hi Tami! A few years ago I spent time in Guadalajara at the Canadian School. What a beautiful city and surrounding areas! :)

Good morning, #pd4uandme Tami here, coming to you live from beautiful Guadalajara, Mexico. #vivamexico

@pnabbie @specialtechie I'm in Jalisco, Mexico. #pd4uandme

@TamiJ123 @specialtechie What state? So interesting! #pd4uandme

@specialtechie I'm in Mexico. Schools have been distance learning since last March. #pd4uandme

@TamiJ123 It's so strange how many different formats we have going on across the country! #PD4uandme

@clegleiter #pd4uandme Be vulnerable & put yourself out there. I think it's appreciated when everyone is working on growth, & owns their imperfections & mistakes. It's easier to develop trust when Ts feel like their school embraces a growth mindset not just w/students, but teachers as well.

Question for the group: What is best way to build trust with staff during pandemic so we support staff but also continue to improve? #pd4uandme

@specialtechie Also, there's still a lot of confusion. Governor said we won't return until next school year, then secretary of education just told us we can start providing in person support. Now we're trying to put the logistics together. #pd4uandme

@TamiJ123 So teachers are in the building, but students aren't? They are virtual? #PD4uandme

@honeylemonart1 Thank you!!!! xoxo

@TamiJ123 Love it!! So creative! ❤️❤️
