@MrsR_Villanueva #digitalstorytelling class is going well! We're in the midst of a Hero's Journey project and watching Harry Potter all week. The kids LOVE to brag to their friends and family that they HAVE to watch movies for class! 😂

A3 I didn't share my "let it go" idea (it's more my personal mantra) but I did share the explore feature in google slides at a PD session in Nov. It was a hit! #808educate

@kaleistern The negativity should be your ⛽! Negativity always comes from a personal place that you have no control over. You ar an amazing educator with amazing ideas worth sharing! #808educate

A4 The thing that's stopping me from sharing to a wider audience are the setbacks I've previously faced (shade thrown on Twitter, SOTF proposals denied, ideas discounted). I'd rather not deal with negativity. #808educate

A1 My aha moment this year was when I felt that I could let things go...lessons didn't have to be perfectly planned for them to be successful. In the wise words of Queen Elsa...#808Educate

@tolentinotech @STEMworksHI Thanks for the expansion of the definition & resources! I understand it in modern day terms but don’t think of what I know as CS. This is the English teacher in me analyzing words instead of going with the flow! 😞

A1b I'm still stuck on the term "computer science" and (maybe it's just me) can't get beyond the word science. Is it the study of computers through experiments & observation like biology, chemistry, physics? #808educate

@mrtom214 Agree, Matthew - I feel that digital literacy and finding/researching factual information is critical in this age of googling everything and taking results at face value. Ss need more of everything you've said! #808educate

A1 When I think of CS, I somehow get the impression of stand-alone programs. Is that good or bad? How might we better integrate CS into curriculum? #808educate
