Specific ways to do so in #englished were through audio books, guest readers (bring in a family member!), or ed tech like Flipgrid. Find ways to work with every students' needs and tools tailored to the individual. Let's be #creative ! #specialed #creativeed

Just participated in an #edchat and #webinar with @SIOPmodel discussing #distancelearning and how we can best serve ALL students, no matter their challenges and despite these world challenges! #gccedu #specialed #overcome

4. online learning presents difficulties but there are countless ways so that all students can still get HIGH QUALITY education! #studentssucceed

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

Online class can be hard, but I am still learning a lot! Today I learned multiple ed tech tools to help students with learning difficulties. Here are 4 main takeaways! #gccedu #edtech #microsoftedu #onlineclasses

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

1. Microsoft Edge: contains a read-aloud tool
2. Office Lens: clearly scans pictures from phone to upload assistive documents to ed drives
3. Immersive Reader: tools that enlarge words, change spacing, highlights line by line, translates pages

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

Online learning can be hard, but every day can be a day where learning can take place. Think positively and with a mindset that GREAT things can happen #gccedu #bettertogether #grit #studentssucceed #ROCKON

@TabithaSTeaches As I am going to be an English teacher in the future, I found this so interesting. Thanks for sharing!

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

@TabithaSTeaches I think "all about me" worksheets are a great way to break the ice as well as get to know some quick needs and interests of your students in a low-pressure way!

@a_wirebaugh @edutopia @edublogs @TED_ED @WeAreTeachers @educationweek I love these accounts too--they offer so much insight!

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

@MsReynoldsgcc22 Thanks for the suggestions; I'll have to check them out!

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

@MsReynoldsgcc22 This is such an important lesson to remember. Education needs to be individualized and specific!

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

Three lies that preservice teachers have about Twitter:
1. No educational purpose
2. Just one more social media page to be addicted to
3. Leads to a lot of unhealthy comparing of oneself to other teachers
FALSE! Let's use Twitter for GROWTH and INSPIRATION to increase our #PSTPLN

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

@cassiemarotta This is so inspiring Cassie; I'm so glad you're raising awareness to this serious issue!

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

@EmmaVezzosi1 I hope you enjoyed this week as much as I did! What a great way to increase your PLN!

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

@a_wirebaugh After taking a class devoted to technology in the classroom, I believe it can be an excellent tool to use in the classroom! It should be taken advantage of, as long as it is not the primary way learning is done. I think there should be a mixture of tech AND paper and pencil.

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

I love getting to expand my professional learning network! These are a few great people and accounts that inspire me! @a_wirebaugh @hasley_jack @cassiemarotta @SFecich @NBCNewsLearn @weareteachers #ff #pstpln #gccedu

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

@hasley_jack What an important reminder that homelessness is a real issue for students too. We as teachers will most likely all teach homeless students at some point and we must do our best to make them feel comfortable and included!

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

@a_wirebaugh I love this article! It's so important that we remember we always have more growing to do as teachers.

[Alana Marie Bergey @AlanaBergey]

An article I found today that inspired me on some steps I can take to become a better teacher! #pstpln #gccedu

I am learning so much helpful information about special education thanks to @sfecich! Something she taught on Monday that stuck with me is that special ed students are revaluated regularly to ensure they consistently get the best ed possible! #pstpln #celebratemonday
