@allynickell @AppleEDU Thank you! That's a great idea.

@westrop5 @AppleEDU My students love making vocab videos. They’ll introduce the word, find/make a picture/video that explains it, and then write a definition at the end. The whole thing is narrated by them and everyone makes their own. They put multiple words in one video.

Hello fellow educators! I was just wondering how you are using clips? Especially in the younger grades. @AppleEDU

Don’t choose the tech tool first. Choose the right tool for the content you want to teach. #istecert #ueniste

Great ideas today! I’m so excited to work on my ISTE certification. Check out the ISTE standards for your own learning @iste . #istecert #ueniste

Thank you to everyone who shared. It is so great to learn from such talented and dedicated educators. Have a happy evening! #wasatchedchat

A8: Learn to love your work and play at it! If you are not happy, your students are not either. #wasatchedchat

A8: Use your coaches! #wasatchedchat

A8: Remember, this is your job, not your life. Keep certain hours totally school-free. I almost never take work home. #wasatchedchat

A7: Clean. It is very overwhelming for some students to feel safe and secure in a very disorganized space. #wasatchedchat

A7: I think we should have "ugly" bulletin boards. Teachers spend so much time creating cute bulletin boards instead of letting the kids just hang up their work. #wasatchedchat #uglybulletinboards

A6: I try hard to remember that no matter what I think, the parents are always trying to do what they believe is best for their child. #wasatchedchat

A6: Keeping the lines of communication open is important. I also think surveys can be useful in getting parent feedback. Another thing I try to keep in mind is that I am dealing with the most precious thing in their world. #wasatchedchat

A5: Student self-reported grades has a huge effect size! (1.44?) Students need to own their learning! #wasatchedchat

A5: The sad thing is that most of our students come to kindergarten with a healthy growth mindset. We need to be better about cultivating that belief. #wasatchedchat

A5: Model the behavior you want to see in the way students take on challenges. Share things that are hard for you and new things you are trying to learn. #wasatchedchat

A4: I also think it is important to remember that things that seem very unimportant to adults such as a lost tooth, may be extremely important for a student. #wasatchedchat

@claire_mair Kids love to talk about themselves when they feel loved. #wasatchedchat

A4 Ask about their weekends, their school events, their families, their hopes and dreams. Be genuinely interested. #wasatchedchat

@MegVanDev Awesome!

A4: one way is through my literature selections that hopefully communicates that I see my students’ success and hardship, and that I want to help them navigate challenges they may face. I can demonstrate my allyship through literature. #wasatchedchat
