@dontworryteach @anna_phd Less about ease of working problems and more ways to enhance/develop problem solving strategies and approaches in students both collaboratively and independently :)

@CJIhme @Desmos @geogebra @CanFigureIt Oh @CanFigureIt is new to me, thank you!

Help this math teacher out! What digital tools do you use to increase student problem-solving? #tch410

[Amanda Ciss @AmandaRCiss]

#TCH401 fits with all of the propositions from NBPTS on what teachers should know and be able to do #401reflection

Pixar & Plussing technique of giving feedback @Folletto https://t.co/FhFvWsB0f6 I love the idea of plussing for a classroom and love that Pixar uses it #TCH401 #feedforward

@brad_hughes Thank you! So many amazing voices. Glad I tried this new tech tonight :)

Hi! Amanda from Illinois. Middle school math teacher. Excited for my first Twitter chat! #TeachBetter

[Amanda Ciss @AmandaRCiss]

A4: Technology challenged me to constantly create and try new this year! I was able to push students to experiment with multimedia as well. So much growth and very little room for a comfort zone #teachbetter

[Amanda Ciss @AmandaRCiss]

@PunkClassrooms So many parents were able to attend parent teacher conferences from their cars or elsewhere via Zoom! They may not have been able to come otherwise

[Amanda Ciss @AmandaRCiss]

A3: Classkick allowed me to see student work in real time and for peer helpers. Desmos and Google Slides helped us manipulate math online! #teachbetter

[Amanda Ciss @AmandaRCiss]

A2: Less screen time! I also miss my card sorts & manipulatives and students collaborating closely with one another face to face #teachbetter

Q2 On the other hand when you consider your technology use this past year, what are three things that you would like to ditch or abandon in the coming year? #TeachBetter #MasteryChat

[Amanda Ciss @AmandaRCiss]

@Toups_J I love this! Definitely more comfortable in front of a camera after this year.

[Amanda Ciss @AmandaRCiss]

A1: Zoom private chat gave all students a voice, collaboration via tech (more kids air playing and taking control), and choice boards! #teachbetter

Empowered learners are stakeholders in their learning. Can't wait to use Google to help students set goals next year! It's NOT About Google, It's About the LEARNING (ISTE Empowered Learner) https://t.co/GHvfb8rSKn via @ShakeUpLearning #TCH401 #ISTEStandards

Emojis might help convey emotion, but overuse is possible and problematic for accessibility #TCH401 #a11y

@RNIB Also, put intercaps in your hashtags so that text-to-speech can figure out how to say them. #thisisjustamess #ThisIsHowYouDoIt

[Amanda Ciss @AmandaRCiss]

Companies like Apple & Spotify released new features last week in honor of #GAAD. This has to be an intentional, everyday effort for all companies & educators always #TCH401 #a11y
