@Faguilar07 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 HI! I agree! Sometimes it hard to be the only one to stand up, but for the children its necessary. I like how you talk about self reflection, It is good to think about how to take action.

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Q1: We can be advocates for our students by taking time to self reflect on our own beliefs, and biases. We must also intervene or disrupt any situations that are harmful to anyone and our students. #EDEL5200

Q1: How can we be advocates for our students? @MrsGallardo1 #EDEL5200

@Faguilar07 @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Hi there! I agree. Listening to others point of view and being humble and hear them is where it starts. The more you know the more you understand. Great point!

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Q2: What is means to have empathy is to spark conversations with others to learn their perspectives and experiences, in order to become more informed and learn how to be a better ally. #EDEL5200

Q2: What does it mean to have empathy? @MrsGallardo1 #EDEL5200

@_mrslindeman @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Yes! I love that we have the component as teachers! To take time to build a meaningful connection! Positivity plays a large role in life, kids really need it. Great job!

Q3: How will you create a safe AND brave space for all students? @MrsGallardo1 #EDEL5200

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 As a teacher advocate, you support students by speaking up about what students want, what they need and what their rights are. This is particularly important for students with disabilities, who may be less inclined to speak up for themselves.

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Empathy is defined as the ability to understand the thoughts, feelings or emotions of someone else. An empathetic teacher gives each student a framework to build on in which all thoughts, opinions, feelings, and differences are uplifted.

@WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 Working together to build a culture/community of acceptance requires effective communication, being educated, and being empathetic. We must understand everyone’s differences and embrace it. Make sure to have materials available in the classroom that support many cultures.

Q5: How do we work together? How do we build a culture/community of acceptance? @MrsGallardo1 #EDEL5200

@Lorena91917976 @AshleymCsub @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler I agree! I am a hands on learner. Working with manipulative s was a great way to learn one to one correspondence. Having a variety of problem solving techniques opens up the world of mathematics to all types of learners. @WrightMath314

@AshleymCsub @WrightMath314 @MrsGallardo1 @joboaler Yes, games would be great for number flexibility. Also allowing students to use any strategy to solve a problem. Maybe using manipulatives, drawings, etc. #EDEL5200

Q2: How can we encourage students to use numbers flexibly? #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear @joboaler @MrsGallardo1

@NancyBolanos8 @WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 I agree. I remember memorizing math facts and I felt very overwhelmed. I felt hopeless because I knew I wouldn't remember all the math facts. I dreaded the subject of math. @WrightMath314

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Memorizing math fact are unnecessary and damaging to students because it leads to misunderstanding of math and student end up disliking the subject. This topic is controversial due to some positive results when memorizing math fact is done correctly. #EDEL5200

Q1: Why is the memorization of math facts “unnecessary and damaging”? #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear @joboaler @MrsGallardo1

@SuzanneArronte @WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 I agree, I remember timed tests. It always made me feel under pressure and I couldn't get my thoughts clear. Problem solving with number sense would have given me strategies to help solve the problems.@WrightMath314

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 One reason for math anxiety is having a time limit on math tests. Some students are distracted by the amount of time that they are given. This may lead to them to forget math steps that they could once do in class. #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear @joboaler @MrsGallardo1

Q3: What are some reasons for math anxiety? #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear @joboaler @MrsGallardo1

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 An alternative to timed tests is to teach fluency through number sense. This allows flexibility for students to learn math. Number sense teaches a variety of strategies to use to problem solve. Make sure to never encourage or emphasize speed.#EDEL5200 @WrightMath314

Q4: Describe alternatives to a timed math test. #EDEL5200 #fluencywithoutfear @joboaler @MrsGallardo1

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 One reason that contributes to math anxiety is timed tests. Timed tests are reliant on memorization to quickly recall math facts. Another reason is teaching memorization of math facts. There is more than one way to learn mathematics. @WrightMath314 @joboaler #EDEL5200

@WrightMath314 @joboaler @MrsGallardo1 Memorization of math facts is damaging because it relies too much on distant memory. If you cant remember from memory, you will start to feel anxiety. Memorization is unnecessary because learning math facts through number sense will promote a deeper understanding of concepts.

@GabrielleBJord1 #What a great point of view, producing instead of consuming! Keep it educational #CSUBTEd #csubedte4200 @Tech_Buddha

@jcaudill110 @teachsci8 @EddiesClass @Tech_Buddha @Doctor2pi @Ststansberry Love a good challenge! Good point! #CSUBTEd #csubedte4200 @Tech_Buddha

Hi y’all. Here is question #4. Don’t forget our hashtag #csubted & start your answer with A4) @EddiesClass @Tech_Buddha @Doctor2pi @Ststansberry

@teachsci8 @Doctor2pi @EddiesClass @MarkALuque @HavensmMike @EdTechRanger @AllieBBogart @Tech_Buddha @casas_jimmy A4 I would tell them to get started learning and using the tech tools available. they are super helpful. Keep in mind students may try to jump on social media tho. Also, find a balance between lecture and tech use in class #CSUBTEd #csubedte4200 @Tech_Buddha

Good morning EDTE 4200 and friends! Here is our last question for the week. We especially appreciate input from our veteran teachers & admin friends on this one. #CSUBTED #csubedte4200

@marta_veronicaa @Tech_Buddha @Doctor2pi @EddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry Good point! We can be in touch through so many apps! #CSUBTEd #csubedte4200 @Tech_Buddha

@Tech_Buddha @Doctor2pi @EddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry A3) Technology makes it possible to collaborate with everyone because there are cool apps to use now to be able to communicate with students, teachers, co-workers. Right now we are using Twitter but there is also other apps like Edmodo. #CSUBTEd #CSUBEDTE4200 @EddiesClass

Q3 for this week’s Twitter Slow Chat is ready to go!! ▶️ Make sure you begin your response with A3 ▶️ Include the hashtags #CSUBted & #csubedte4200 ▶️ Tag your professor @Doctor2pi @EddiesClass @teachsci8 @Tech_Buddha @Ststansberry

@Jayare1022 @Tech_Buddha @Doctor2pi @EddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry yes! I agree, You can be in your jammies if you want! So convenient #CSUBTEd #csubedte4200 @Tech_Buddha

@Tech_Buddha @Doctor2pi @EddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry A3) Technolgy makes collaboration easier beacuse it can connect anyone from anywhere. Ts can showcase an entire class worth of projects to an entire community and share thoughts an ideas with other Ts from across the world. #csubedte4200 #CSUBTEd

@Tech_Buddha @Doctor2pi @EddiesClass @teachsci8 @Ststansberry A3 One main reason why technology facilitates collaboration among educators is because it is so convenient. I don't have to drive across town, meet up somewhere and discuss documents, just hop online and connect!! #CSUBTEd #csubedte4200

@riveraab @HMannMustangs I loved these projects in school! probably because i was ready to begin work and be independent!! #CSUBTEd #csub4200 @Tech_Buddha

A2. Favorite lesson was from my 6th Grade Teacher at @HMannMustangs! It was a project on real estate, taxes & money “played” over several weeks. The classroom was parceled off & teams were tasked with building their financial portfolio. #csubted #csubedte4200

@KimberlyPurdy8 @Ststansberry @Doctor2pi @EddiesClass @teachsci8 @Tech_Buddha I remember those days!! The library was so intimidating though...so i always appreciated when my mom would take me and help me out lol #CSUBTEd #csubedte4200

@Ststansberry @Doctor2pi @EddiesClass @teachsci8 @Tech_Buddha A2) My favorite memory would be when I was in fifth grade and I had o research a President. I did Ronald Reagan. Back then, computers were not always available but I did use them to research him. #CSUBTEd @Tech_Buddha

Q2 Twitter slow chat started! Make sure you respond with A2) before your response. Don’t forget to tag #CSUBted. #csubedte4200, @Doctor2pi , @EddiesClass , @teachsci8 , @Tech_Buddha @Ststansberry
