@hreitDIS I liked the response and answer format of the Twitter Chat. I could see this being very helpful. One application would be as a forum to have discussions after podcasts, webinars or other remote PD opportunities. #ConnectEDin5, #Afterparty

@hreitDIS A6: I found his list of educational hashtags and twitter chats helpful. I enjoy following https://t.co/kvOONluoPA for an international perspective on speech-language trends. #ConnectEDin5

@hreitDIS A5: I think that the author’s perspectives were freeing and encouraging. The concept that cyberbullying is not a stand alone behavior, but rather bullying with a different platform was a novel idea for me to consider. #ConnectEDin5

@hreitDIS A4: My students are young learners and many have language impairments. The first step in this process is for me to teach fact vs. fiction. I could incorporate media sources to establish the practice of assessing online information. #ConnectEDin5

@HolifieldJamee @hreitDIS @MindShiftKQED I agree, James! We must teach students to interact with media- Not be passive partakers!

[Anna Hewitt @AnnaHewittSLP]

@hreitDIS A3:. Students need to be instructed to engage in media, critically review it and monitor its content. Schwartz brings up an important point. Students must distinguish fact vs.fiction. Propaganda must be recognized. Informed citizens are the foundation of democracy. #ConnectEDin5

@hreitDIS A2: Social media actually saves time. Social media allows educators to search and instantly find topics of interest. In addition, you receive information in “real time” based on the most up to date applications and observations. #ConnectEDin5

[Anna Hewitt @AnnaHewittSLP]

@hreitDIS A1: I have enjoyed connecting with other educators in D5 and learning about what is going in classes across the district. I have especially enjoyed connecting with other SLPs and incorporating shared strategies into activities with my students. #ConnectEDin5

I am focusing on strategies for parents to facilitate language growth in school age children.

I have used this program for several years now with positive outcomes for my students working on /r/. Check out this great "yoga" video to help kids with those tricky /r/ sounds! Thanks, Say It Right!

I'm on the search for research based strategies for school age students with CAS. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I was first introduced to this infographic during PD last week. I keep reflecting on it and how I can support reading comprehension in my students.

Interesting reading this from the ASHA Leader highlighting the role of chronological age and school performance.

Looking forward to a fun week of learning with the works of Mo Willems! So glad I am following him @The Pigeon! Can't wait to share this clip with my fourth and fifth grade students!

Hi Helen- I would love to learn more about Sounds in Motion. I think this could be very beneficial for my students with language and literacy delays.

Lesson Reflection: The Sounds In Motion Program is great when teaching phonological awareness skills in therapy. My students love the movement and they remember how to produce their targeted sounds. It carries over into their reading and writing. #connectin5

Great overview related to our Friday PD with our wonderful D5 SLPs!

Blogging allows educators to connect, share ideas and resources as well as reflect on different perspectives. I have especially enjoyed using Twitter to connect with SLPs from around the country.

Wildcard: Check out this barnyard classic! Great for teaching prepositions and early predicting skills. I'm beginning to use playlist to organize by skill. What other books do you use for concepts?

Great day of learning on Monday with our D5 SLPs. Thank you Sherri Evans for planning our session including PD on Childhood Apraxia of Speech. Timely information on selecting therapy targets for our most severe students. #Connectin5, #LeaD5
