@HaydenTeaches @MrLostetter Hello, I like that you talked about inclusion in schools. It is so important to include all students in our schools. #CEP416 #PSTPLN

@Ashley21475580 @tyLanasaurusrex Hello Ashley, I also think that a strong sense of community is important when choosing a school! This will make work feel more comfortable and welcoming. #CEP416 #PSTPLN

A5: When I am looking into a school district to work in, I am interested in one that is open to adding in mindfulness and mental health training. I think these are huge aspects of our students lives that need to be talked about! #CEP416 #PSTPLN

@BlackieKarissa @tyLanasaurusrex Hello, I have not heard of GoNoodle before, but it sounds great! I am all for mental health awareness and mindfulness, so I will have to check that out! Thanks! #CEP416 #PSTPLN

@ClareKinna @tyLanasaurusrex Hello Clare, I also wrote about Pinterest! This was very useful when I interned as a preschool teacher. #PSTPLN #CEP416

A4: My favorite website resource is Pinterest. When I was enrolled in a class where I was required to come up with activities, this website was useful in providing age appropriate activities. #PSTPLN #CEP416

@MercedesFinstu1 @tyLanasaurusrex Hello Mercedes, I like how you thought of problem solving in a social/emotional perspective. As a future educator in a K-2 classroom, it is important to think about the whole child, not just academically! #PSTPLN #CEP416

@MarissaOtto11 @tyLanasaurusrex Hey Marissa, I also talked about math and science as a part of problem solving. I am wondering how we can expand this learning into other subjects of math and language arts. #PSTPLN #CEP416

[Alison Miner @AlisonMiner1]

A3: When I think of problem solving in K-12 education, I believe that this idea is primarily used for subjects of math and science. Through the use of technology, we can expand on these ideals through practice problems, and even online research. #PSTPLN #CEP416

@HannaJo61483108 Hey Hanna, I really like your idea of creating an online space because after we leave college it will be difficult to connect offline if we are away from school #PSTPLN #CEP416

@GreenhoeKailin Hey Kailin, I didn't think about the option of attending events and workshops. That would be a great way to meet others and grow my PLN! #CEP416 #PSTPLN

[Alison Miner @AlisonMiner1]

A2: I think in order to grow my professional learning network on and offline, I should start by following the peers that I have met through the college of education at MSU, that way we can share resources and ideas on this platform. #PSTPLN #CEP416

@MMuggio Hey Laura, I also agree that understanding the individual needs of our students will help us to create learning goals and activities appropriate to their understanding. #CEP416 #PSTPLN

[Alison Miner @AlisonMiner1]

@RosieinEdu Hello Rosie, I agree that it is important to get to know our students in our classrooms! This will help us to tailor our lessons to their specific needs. #CEP416 #PSTPLN

[Alison Miner @AlisonMiner1]

A1: I think it is important to teach in ways that tailor to different types of learners such as visual, tactile, or auditory learners, and integrate these learning styles into our lessons. #CEP416 #PSTPLN
