@fpriddick Fran, this is a profound message! While I have been enjoying "retirement" there are times when "it hasn't been easy". The kids used to say don't believe the hype! Enjoy every moment of life and trust that God will give you whatever you need, if you ask and believe, to persevere😇

My daughter and I were having this conversation earlier this week. Now she can hear it from someone else. :)

@gay_lussac @teachergoals May be true, but doesn't have to be. It is those other factors like amount of kernels, the shaking and attention given during popping that can make a difference. As a "pot" popcorn lover, I take pride in getting ever kernel to pop. Thanks educators who do the same for students!
English
@teachergoals Some kernels never actually pop. They just get burned in the oil at the end.
English
Congratulations Wyndi! Wishing you much success as you continue on your leadership journey!
English
@fpriddick @Mrs_Dewitt @WyndiErvin @btaylorjones1 @BrandanLucas2 @NELA_NCSU Absolutely! When the graduates give back, they are "the gift that keeps on giving". Fantastic!
English
@Mrs_Dewitt @WyndiErvin @btaylorjones1 @BrandanLucas2 @NELA_NCSU One of my favorite things about our program is how our graduates give back! Thanks for coming today and motivating our current students!
English
Hanging out with @WyndiErvin @btaylorjones1 and @BrandanLucas2 @NELA_NCSU for orientation. I’m excited about the current cohorts! Their presence is energetic and contagious. More great leadership in the making.
English
@Mrs_Dewitt Kacheckia, it has been a pleasure to serve with God's grace and guidance. I so appreciate your kind words and know that you are a change agent that will always be a "Champion for Children" in word and deed. Many Blessings to you and the NCSU Principal Prep Program Class of 2022!
English
Thank you, @EducatingChamps. You have taught me lessons that will last a lifetime. Your mentorship and leadership have helped me grow into the leader I am today. I truly admire you. May God continue to bless you abundantly. I hope you’re enjoying every moment of retirement.

@SoldbySardavia Sardavia, I have been giving shouts when I hear that some districts are doing just that! Learning from situations no matter what the cause is so important to growing and getting better. We must strive for excellence. This is an example of districts doing so.
English
@JRichardsonNELA Jessica, I hear you! People create machines not the other way round. In this age of technology that advances so quickly, to keep students engaged, but also ensure that they are prepared for the future workforce, as educators in particular, we all must keep up with technology.
English
@EducatingChamps There are a plethora of tech tools out there. We as educators must stay abreast of technology so that we can ensure we are using technology effectively. A machine is only as good as the person using it. Technology cannot replace a teacher, but can enhance instruction.
English
NELA - Tweet #3 - Reflect on Hess’ video “Education Technology” and Edison’s quote in “Tinkering Toward Utopia” below. What connection(s) can you make to virtual learning and the pandemic?
“Faith in electronic pedagogy has returned again and again.”
English
@PoperWhitney Whitney, I am right there with you! Reflection is such an essential aspect in all that we do. Understanding that to move forward means that you learn to do better is crucial to growing. Moving forward without learning invites repeating the same mistakes.
English
@EducatingChamps Integrating technology effectively should enhance teaching and learning, but it cannot replace quality instruction provided by highly qualified teachers. We must reflect on how we used technology during the pandemic and ensure we use it to push learning forward next school year!
English
@hkarns712 Heather, you are spot on! No turning back, but moving forward. Yes, virtual learning the way it came about was not ideal. However, now that we are aware of the challenges they need to be addressed so that the use of technology is incorporated into the "fabric" of instruction.
English
@EducatingChamps There is no quick fix for technology rather it needs to be in collaboration with effective structures partnered with schools, parents, policy makers, and students. We need to take virtual learning to the next level together.
English
@PalmerMaeZing Lindsay, wonderful message! It makes me think of the three most important ideas that I wanted students to takeaway: Understanding adult learning leads to effective PD which impacts school improvement. I believe great teachers with support from great leaders can transform schools.
English
@EducatingChamps “Technology is a powerful tool and like any tool it matters how we use it.” -Hess During virtual learning this was never more evident. Teachers learned on the go and found ways to creatively reach their students. Innovation requires us to be ready to adapt.
English
@CoachMD_ Melissa, I cannot agree with you more! People need people. Teachers and students alike need more experiences and instruction on using technology so that the value of it is not lost on either. Teachers will then be able to inspire students and thus, students will be inspired.
English
@EducatingChamps The COVID-19 pandemic has proved students need relationships. Technology has helped us have a space to continue educating, but students need support and human interaction to fill in the gap. It’s imperative to know how to use technology AND how to inspire students.
English
@Brittneybtweet1 Brittney Mary, the operative words with technology are "integrated and access". As a person who is pre-internet, I am continually amazed at the technological advances that are forever being developed. So, that integration and access is critical to becoming continuous learners.
English
@EducatingChamps Technology-integrated learning is rich and purposeful when lead by inquiry-based practices and the facilitation of multimedia tools. If students have the access they can become continuous learners. #accessispower #studentvoice #independence
English
@emilyLrose13 Emily, absolutely! "Both sides of the coin" for technology should have opened a lot of eyes to what it can and cannot do. Yes, it should be respected as a vehicle to provide a venue to have "school", but proper PD and instruction on its use is truly needed.
English
@EducatingChamps Being a virtual teacher this school year I have seen how powerful technology within education can be in both a negative and positive way. We must not rely on technology to drive our instruction but to enhance or innovate the instruction given. #NELA2022
English
@TabronTerra Terra, by investing in people I will hope that technology as a tool will get better for teachers and learners. You are right in that the tool can't "replace effective instruction", now is the time to think about how this tool is used more effectively and accessible to all.
English
@EducatingChamps Invest in people not programs. Technology will evolve and it absolutely should be used as a tool; However, technology can’t replace effective instruction from a great educator. I think the pandemic has highlighted that. It’s not an effective means for all learners.
English
@BrandanLucas2 Brandan, hopefully we will do just that. Knowledge is and will always be a source of power. When it is used appropriately wonderous things can happen for all. However, if we don't seen the value as well as address the pitfalls, we are doomed to repeat "negative" history aspects.
English
Our recent pandemic has taught us there is no “One fix all” in education. Use of technology and quality instruction leads us on a collision with excellence, not perfection. Let’s use what we’ve learned the past year to improve upon the practices of the past.
