The "those who can't, teach" crowd is now realizing that teachers can pretty much learn any skill and adapt to most other jobs very easily, and businesses and companies are fighting to recruit former teachers. So it seems like those who teach can do pretty much anything.

If I had a technology wishlist to explore, I would add: 1. Classic VR kits for augmented learning 2. 3D printing lab to inspire fun lessons 3. Ozobot to watch coding come to life Those three items would completely transform my classroom!🤯 #EdTech #5320EdTechLead

2/2 I cannot imagine that learning begins and ends in a classroom. We are all building on each other’s learning experiences, so it’s important to broaden our minds in this collective participation that is life. #EdTech #5320EdTechLead

1/2 My success motto is to become a lifelong learner by building resilience, gaining diverse experience, and making connections. Lifelong learning expands my mind to knowledge opportunities that enrich my personal and professional life #EdTech #5320EdTechLead

These courses reaffirmed our chat this Monday hosted by the inspirational @saratruebridge #EdTech #EdTechLead5320 @CynthiaLPina

Thank you for hosting this chat tonight! It was very insightful.

@saratruebridge A7: I will continue to reflect on my personal and professional growth. Glad this ended in such positivity! I’ve gained a lot of insight from all participants 🫶🏽

Q7: What will you do tomorrow a a result of #resiliencechat tonight?

@saratruebridge A6: Here’s a positive that has stood the test of time…watching the “lightbulb” moments, challenging student thinking and students exceeding expectations, those heartfelt personalized gifts… I could go on. It’s the most fulfilling career 🥰#resiliencechat

Q6: We are hearing so much about education today that is negative. Reflect on, and share, something positive about education today. #resiliencechat

@saratruebridge A5: hope for education reform soon. Many educators are feeling undervalued and misunderstood. There’s been too much emphasis on the role of teaching to extend beyond our given scope without real positive reinforcement. #resiliencechat

Q5: What are you general thoughts/feelings about the state of education today? #resiliencechat

@dimsiam2 @JesmelOrtiz I couldn't agree more! What is so interesting is that what some may think as small levels of support have such BIG implications and rewards! #resiliencechat

@saratruebridge A4: How can an educator resist influence of negative school culture? How can school leaders nurture good school culture? #resiliencechat

Q4: What are one or two questions you have around the issue or topic of "school culture?" #resiliencechat

@saratruebridge Piggybacking off @JesmelOrtiz answer and adding that it’s so important for students and teachers to feel supported. Most often, I see shifts in behavior and performance when the simplest levels of support is present.

Q3: I am going to also be on a panel talking about school culture. When talking about school culture, what is important to you? #resiliencechat

@saratruebridge A2: In a very simplified version— the education and human experience are more synonymous than we think. We need to adapt to new social climates to meet the needs of this generation #resiliencechat

Q2: What does "Educating The New Humanity" mean to you? #resiliencechat

@PreK33 @saratruebridge I love this!

@saratruebridge A1: To me, it means that everyone has a seat at the table, that everyone is seen and heard from their own various perspectives. #resiliencechat

Q1: What does "Leading Together" mean to you? #resiliencechat

@saratruebridge A 1: Leading together means to collaboratively work in a team by equitably allowing for diverse voices and strengths to be utilized in decision making #resiliencechat

Welcome to #resiliencechat! Here in California rooting for the Warriors in the NBA Finals. Who is here with us tonight?--and feel free to share who YOU are rooting for in the NBA Finals.

@saratruebridge I’m here 🤚🏽Go @warriors !!

Q4: How can we place more accountability on individual students to be active participants in their learning, while maintaining a strong relationship that provides emotional safety and an appropriate amount of support? #CrazyPLN
