We have some real challenges here in Vermont. But Vermonters deserve so much better, and I’m fired up and ready to get to work. Chip in $5 now to help get my campaign for Governor off the ground: https://t.co/IR9Oy36rsM
Yesterday I flew to my new school (@ronclarkacademy) to meet my new 4th grade students and their parents. It’s a tradition that if you are new to the school, you have to dance down the red carpet!
Every student & teacher should be welcomed into a new environment like this! ❤️
Spent the last 2days in classes...confirms what I have known to be true. Ts crave real feedback on how to improve their practice...instructional coaching must be the norm. The small changes they are making will make big differences for kids (and them) #vted
@jonbartelt@betavt Just glad to celebrate a person who may not have known the degree he impacted me and connect with others who were just as lucky. We are more than a #PLN 💗 #4Ned
Deeply sad to hear of the loss of @betavt - Ned was among the first to welcome Eric and I to the #DPLIS community and always made me laugh and smile. He always kept kids at the forefront and was an inspirational leader.
A2:It has become a learning tool. We use it when we need it! The same as a book, pencils, etc. sometimes we need it & other times we don’t.
Setting it up this way from day1 has shown my kiddos they get to be part of deciding when they need it to best support their work! #satchat
@specialkdchs @TheBradCurrie Yes there is. Even in a 1:1 environment, the device is being used the same as before. The mindset should be innovation and creativity and not just following a curriculum or "outside the box". #satchat
A1. To integrate well takes a high level knowing their content well enough to transfer creatively, an ability to be safe enough to risk take and tech competency that many Ts feel they don’t have or time to learn #satchat
Good morning PLN

I'd like to give a shoutout to 1 of our PLN who passed away 2 days ago
@betavt was a frequent participant on the chat & a supportive connected educator. We are all better having connected with him
