For kids who have family members to play with, Greg Jr's card & board games are great. When they don't, our online digital games can be helpful. I yearn for a simpler time in life. When we were young, my mom played all kinds of card games & board games with me & my 2 sisters.

A1: I decided to become a teacher so I could help others. I wanted to work with children and inspire them to become the best version of themselves. #EDTECHGUYS

Cheryl Callaghan’s First Graders measuring using cubic centimeter blocks! @WCSDEmpowers @BrinckSchool @JessicaTurnerNY

A12: I would enjoy the ride. You don’t get to be a nickel everyday😇 #Edtechguys

[Christine Barrack @BarrackMath]

A11: I see Steam activities during math workshop because you can include them in stations. #EdTechguys

@ASchout10 @WCSDEmpowers @EvansEaglesSoar @wcsdtechdr @ANikolaTech I love it!!

[Christine Barrack @BarrackMath]

A10: I’d like my students to say they had so much fun in math and learned a lot. Leaving them with fond memories and maybe inspire them to be something later in life. #EdTechguys

[Christine Barrack @BarrackMath]

A9: A class where students practice basic life skills. How to do your taxes, balancing a checkbook, savings, 401k’s etc. Some high schools have these classes but I never had the experience. #EdTechguys

[Christine Barrack @BarrackMath]

A8: A desk tablet where each student’s desks is a tablet that shares what they are looking at with the teacher. They would have a stylus that they could use for solving problems. #EdTechguys

[Christine Barrack @BarrackMath]

A7: project based learning is awesome but requires that students have the skills to complete it independently. Some require scaffolding and supports that may need to be directly taught at first. #EdTechguys

[Christine Barrack @BarrackMath]

A6: I’m excited to see this generation innovate and create. They are so advanced with technology that they are going to do amazing things one day. #EdTechguys

[Christine Barrack @BarrackMath]

A5: key attributes include having a sense of humor, being knowledgeable in your field, and being flexible. So hard to be successful without these traits. #EdTechguys

Having fun learning math with SPLATS and Ozmos in Ms.Egan’s class! Calculating the time it would take to get to Bounce using distance, rate and time. 5th graders used Osmo pizza shopping calculate cost. @wcsdtechdr @EvansEaglesSoar @JessicaTurnerNY @WCSDEmpowers

[Christine Barrack @BarrackMath]

A4: Humor helps keep students engaged in the lesson. I often find even when working with teachers humor helps people smile and relax. If you can’t laugh at yourself, you are doomed lol. #EdTechguys

[Christine Barrack @BarrackMath]

A3: I create empathy by modeling it myself. Acting as a caring educator shows others that people do care. #EdTechguys

[Christine Barrack @BarrackMath]

A1: I’d say Jumanji. I feel like I’m moving between worlds when I enter different rooms. It really is fascinating and awesome. #EdTechGuys

[Christine Barrack @BarrackMath]

A2: My superpower would be Super Intelligence so I could plan lessons very fast! #EdTechGuys

Students in Ms. Egan’s class at Evans Elementary working on workstations that focus on fraction concepts. Many of them could demonstrate multiplying fractions conceptually. @EvansEaglesSoar @JessicaTurnerNY @WCSDEmpowers

Fun collecting data in Ms. Spinozza’s class! Thanks Mr. Roberto for the cool splats. @JessicaTurnerNY @WCSDEmpowers @wcsdtechdr @MissSpinozza
