pinterest.com/ncaee/ncaee-ne… This is a pinterest board full of resources and news from North Carolina Elementary schools which is one state I am thinking about moving to. It can be used to learn more about these schools. #educ30 #educw200

@T_Copple I've been looking for an educational twitter chat the last few days and the ones provided on the list are either non existent or have moved to a different week so thank you for existing and being active! #INeLearn

Really and truly, I thought nobody would show up to talk about assessment, but you came out STRONG as ever #INeLearn! We can hang around for the after party if needed. :)

@angelasbien @INeLearn Don't forget what G203 and Child Development taught us! Don't tell a student they are smart. Say "good effort" #INeLearn

@INeLearn When I student is struggling, I always say "You are smart. Remember, when you... (insert something they did well this year)... You can do this (whatever it is) too!" #INeLearn

We love the focus on STRENGTHS. How can we leverage student strengths to build confidence and overcome areas of needed improvement? #INeLearn

@JessicaZepik Yup! So the teacher can change how they approach certain topics that the students struggle with the most. #INeLearn

R5: Data can highlight obvious areas of weaknesses that can become the focus of PD the following year #INeLearn

@T_Copple A5: Knowing what students struggle with can help you focus on the topic for longer next year. Or if some type of method of teaching isn't working for a particular lesson, something different can be done with the next class. #INeLearn

Q5 Data doesn’t tell the whole story, but it does tell us something about our Ss. How do we utilize the data to inform our digital initiatives/ curriculum/ instruction/ programming the following school year? #INeLearn

@LCHS_Bio I've heard of it, but never used it as a kid. I didn't know it existed until I went to college. It seems interesting, is it really that bad? #INeLearn

R4: we used IXL when I was a principal. Wasn’t a fan. Hate we have to prepare kids for tests. #INeLearn

@T_Copple A4: Is this for standardized testing? It isn't easy to prepare for but Khan Academy is what I used to study for my SAT test so that could be used for younger students as needed. #INeLearn

Q4 What digital tools/resources/activities do you utilize to prepare Ss for the rigor and length of statewide testing? #INeLearn

@LCHS_Bio @CanvasLMS I use Canvas in school of course but I didn't know it could differentiate assignments! Canvas holds more than I thought. #INeLearn

R3: again @CanvasLMS allows you to differentiate within your modules. I have ENL students taking the same test in their native language right next to native English speakers. I can differentiate assignments, create translated documents and link them within modules. #INeLearn

@T_Copple A3: I am doing an online tutoring with a third grader using Scootpad which uses student's progress to shape what material they are given and how hard assessments are. Having assignments that work for a certain skill level is beneficial for them. #INelearn

Q3 What digital strategies does your school utilize to provide needed response to intervention support for Ss? Resources? #INeLearn

@MsCiaraRoss I agree! I have always loved Kahoot and teachers can see what the majority of students struggle on. #INelearn

R2: I think there are some great websites for assessing student growth while also keeping them engaged and having fun, like Kahoot! There are also so many ways students can utilize tech to demonstrate their own knowledge of the content for projects and presentations! #INelearn

@T_Copple A2: (accidentally put R1 for the last post) Tech is a good way to assess multiple students at once instead of trying to keep track on paper and written assignments which can get messy. It's easy to pull up to online assignments side by side #INeLearn

Q2 How do we utilize tech to continually assess student growth and performance throughout the school year? How does this translate to assessment season? #INeLearn

@MsCiaraRoss #INeLearn I agree Ciara. Going outside is always a great way to take a brake during assessments and getting students to move around wakes them up for the next assignment

RI: I think a great way to keep students engaged is to assign projects that are more interactive, like PBL lessons! I think it's also great to give students space to move around and even go outside for a bit when possible! #INelearn

@T_Copple R1: For me, games have always worked to lower stress and review for big assessments so that is always where I go especially with younger kids. #INeLearn

Q1 It’s the home stretch and students are getting antsy for the warm weather and longer days. How do you keep engagement high and students focused through assessment season? #INeLearn

@swinning_id #INeLearn that sounds exiting! Excited for a nice, long summer.

@lydmarteduc Hey Lydia! Long time no see! How's everything going?

Hello! My name is Lydia Martin and I am a pre-service teacher majoring in elementary education at Indiana University! #INeLearn

This is Skyelar, an elementary education major at Indiana University! #inelearn

@VisionsByVicky I can't find any that are still happening. I have to do an educational twitter chat for school. Are there any that are still on for tonight and active?

@lattimroe No, we're combining with #ethicalCS next week instead.

If you thought there should be a #csk8 chat starting now, you were correct ... BUT the Equity, Ethics, & Diversity in Computer Science Education chat has been rescheduled as a joint chat with #ethicalCS. It will be held NEXT WED, 4/24, at 5pm PT/8pm ET. Please join us then!

#educw200chat of course technology is important in the class room! Especially with math, I have seen how it helps kids like the subject.

@siqi_gao What fun! #educW200chat

#educW200chat Hi, I am Sukie. I am at IU and study elementary education now.
