@HollyClarkEdu Thank you so much for coming to Oklahoma and talking. Please do so again

@blogdecristina Who’s picture is in the oval picture frame? Is there a cool memory?

@patrick_runnels Hahahah you’re right. We could talk about the price of electricity.

Will this pic spark discussion?

@edtechmathteach Why? Let people take care of you and help with your burden on hard days. I’m sure you help with theirs. Teaching is such an isolated profession; having someone who knows you, and cares enough to enquirer is a gift. You are allowed to have bad days

I both love & hate the fact that my coteacher knows me so well that he can tell when something is bugging me. I need to work on my poker face...

@MuinteoirChris @MrRobHistory Actually I’ve had really good luck just asking if anyone has a rug or an old lamp. People always seem to have one in storage that they are trying to get rid of

@patrick_runnels @MrRobHistory Looks incredible! I wish we had funding to make classrooms appealing to kids like this 😂

Teachers don't need to have an amazingly decorated classroom to be good. Displays don't make you a better teacher. You can be a great teacher without wasting hours and hours on pretty decorations.

@MuinteoirChris @MrRobHistory I did all that myself. Most of it was stuff people were getting rid of or gave to me. The bookshelves were ones the library didn’t want anymore. The projection screen I made (I did home theater installs in m college) the led lights were $20 of my money

@MrDavidScales One man’s group work is another man’s collaboration. You can’t generalize all group work as bad and group work is collaboration which is one of the most looked for skills in the business industry. There was a great podcast on edsurge about this recently.

Is your school in the 2006 time warp? - group work - style over substance - data drops every half term - “Buzz” - Behaviour your fault - discovery learning - comic sans - marking not feedback - PowerPoints - blame not support Join us instead - message me, look at TES

@Resour1Teaching That’s actually cheaper than buying 6 Snickers at the hardware store. I relate all of life to the prices at the hardware store.

Wow!

@joypcoffee I like it when people tell me about things that happen in their life that will have absolutely no impact whatsoever on them. Thank you for letting me know though!

Get your students invested in the stories you teach. Here is a great step-by-step lesson for you. docs.google.com/document/d/1SE… #edtech #literature #teaching #AImorethanacheatingtool

Let's show that AI can be used for increasing rigor. Cheating is the least interesting part of AI. docs.google.com/document/d/1Rm… #AI #edutech #education #teachersoftwitter #AImorethanjustacheatingtool

@TJGriffiths 

That face someone in your class makes when you’ve told them that’s enough:

@Readerleader5 @JayWamsted ? I’ve taught for 14 years in Oklahoma and not once have we said the state pledge

I was today years old when I learned that Texas schools have their students say two pledges? One to America and another one to Texas? That is next level. I thought it got crazy here in Georgia but you can keep your two pledges

@ShiftParadigm That students in the past were somehow different in motivation and behavior than today. We seem to rewrite our past as we get older, but get high school friends together at a reunion and the truth comes out. Teens are teens. Just look at the themes in movies over time. Same
