Over ten years ago someone showed me this idea: if you have to give tests, staple a blank page and title it " here's all the stuff I know abt this topic but the test didn't ask me abt it "- and see what they write ( or even draw!) #Satchat

Truth in education and parenting! And teaching our children this fact is difficult for some to internalize. Some are always looking to be "equal". #dc508 twitter.com/BrianMendler/s…

Teachers please remember: “Fair” means all get what they need. “Equal” means all get the same. Be fair. Don’t worry about treating everyone the same way. #edchat #KidsDeserveIt

I don't appreciate some of the language used, but the point is made and it is important as teachers that we listen to this! #dc508

@d_mulder and further: "consider a student who sits quietly but who does not participate in the discussion board for the assigned reading or activity to be simply not present."

@emilyjhuffman I'm waiting to get my iPad "hooked up" (wirelessly) to my Smart board so I don't have to stand at the front of my classroom. #dc508

Morrison: “My view is they [whiteboards] have actually done damage because they have reinforced the pedagogy of teachers standing at the front...” Our new building has screen projectors on 1 side of the room and the whiteboard on the other...no "front"! #DC508
