Educators everywhere - in this challenging year where those of us in education are often the target of people’s anger, please “hang in there.” You make a difference every day in the lives of young people. You are critically important to the future of this nation and you matter!

Educators, feel lost in the transition to online learning? Please reach out to your local REMC Director for additional help with technology and edtech learning. Please contact us, we’re happy to help! buff.ly/2U3tOxD

@Amos_ALP @ALPlearn @tborash @cben1teach @gjlyman @teachlearntech @lorimcewen So proud of the work done by the #Vais4Learners Innovation Network teams. Awesome people doing awesome work for awesome students.

The @ALPlearn coaches who supported the 2019 cohort in the field are simply incredible leaders. They are: Tony Borash - @tborash Craig Bennett - @cben1teach Gaynell Lyman - @gjlyman John Ross - @teachlearntech Beth Rayl - @bethrayl Lori Batista McEwen - @lorimcewen

Would love to find a way to provide back to school supplies to each and every student in the world. How might we make a difference in our local communities? Share your ideas and let's make every young person's year start off right. @sprint #WinWithSprintSweepstakes

Honored to work with some amazing EdTech coaches this week @AVUSD. Juggling the roles of classroom teacher and technology coach, and doing it with passion and commitment. You all rock! #ALPlearn @DellEMCedu @ijedsnell

Enjoyed learning with and from classified staff @RichlandOne this past week. What a fun, engaged group! I see a future with lots of collaboration via Microsoft Sharepoint on their horizon. #ALPlearn @DellEMCedu

What an awesome film. This should be on every teacher's list of things to watch. Powerful message from an animated short.

The #1 rule for being a successful educator is, and always will be, build positive relationships first. Be kind, caring, respectful, and you can let them see you smile. You may be the only person in their lives who ever does.

Lots of great collaboration with your professional colleagues across the state + free SCECHS = Priceless. Sign up now and enjoy learning new things in the New Year!

@Katy_ALP @nytimes Great article. Thanks for sharing it, Katy. It really makes one reflect on the importance of helping our young people see the value in the actual work they do and the artifacts they create. Not because of any extrinsic “rewards,” but for the sheer joy of creating and learning.

This article made me ponder the question...”How do we learn and model (for younger learners) the intrinsic value of creating excellent work vs. simply promoting our work/selves?” #ALPlearn Everything Is for Sale Now. Even Us. via @NYTimes. nyti.ms/2zs949p?smid=n…

Who needs friends? Not Emma.

Even conservative pro-test ed reformers now see that standardized tests don’t measure what matters most & are doing serious harm in classrooms. We must demand that policymakers work with educators to create accountability 2.0, based on student portfolios & exhibitions of mastery.

I echo your sentiments, Jeremiah. Lots of folks sharing hardware, apps, and kits. I know that #DellEMC and #ALPlearn have created some professional learning around content and creation. Let’s talk about how #ARVRinEdu enhances learning! twitter.com/jeremiahfrink/…
