I like the idea of just observing children and seeing what they can do without tests and assessing them from there. It takes away the pressure of a test and allows them to think freely. #edu2022

Children may lash out due to home situations that they can't control. A bad home life or past can cause children to lash out and we as teachers need to understand that there is normally more to it than them just being a "bad student". #edu2022

I taunt. I terrorize. Sometimes I hit. I destroy. I curse. I talk back.

Maybe I’ve even made you cry a few times. But please, please, please don’t give up on me. 💔

I think having a class pet or having a dog come and visit the classroom once a week can give the children something to look forward to. Also having a sweet loving animal love on them could release some tension and stress since school seems to be stressful for everyone. #edu2022

I agree that their are children that have hard times at home and it might be the reason for their bad behavior or quietness in the classroom. We shouldn't look at those children as bad kids, we should notice their behavior and look a little deeper. #edu2022

This link shows different grades and resources for digital citizenship. I believe this would be helpful for teachers to have and show to students so maybe they have a better understanding of it. #edu2022

Social media can give a child the chance to express themselves and this teacher shows different ways that social media can do that. #edu2022

Children are learning at a young age how to work technology devices. I agree that it would be a good idea to start teaching coding to children in the class. #edu2022

[Geeky Kids @GeekyKidsUK]

Q: Why teach #coding to kids?
A: We live in a digital era & demand for skilled computer scientists is at its highest level ever. Kids are fascinated by computers, tablets & phones & find the creative side of #ComputerScience very interesting.

I think kids drawing in class more is a helpful tool because they are more likely going to pay attention rather than when they are having to write notes over and over again. In the video it shows explanations on why drawing is such a good learning tool for kids. #edu2022

[edutopia @edutopia]

Drawing is a truly powerful learning tool, involving visual, kinesthetic, and linguistic areas of the brain all at the same time. 🧠

[Brooklynn Calcaterra @BCalcaterra]

I think this is a great idea to help make a new student feel comfortable. Moving is hard and making new friends can be difficult but knowing your teacher is there to help you get through this difficult move can help out a lot. #edu2022

Being the new kid in class can be tough. Here’s how one teacher @LisaRomanoEDU welcomes them. 😊

These tips seem very helpful to keep students focused in the classroom. I really think the brain breaks would help since they are taking in all this information, sometimes they just need a break to be a kid and be silly. #edu2022

Tip: Spreading out talkative students can decrease classroom disruptions by 66%. (For more tips, watch with your sound turned on.)

I agree that teachers should have a closer relationship with their students, that way students trust them more and feel safe in the school environment. Students working in a safe environment with a teacher you trust, might show better results in learning.

[Brooklynn Calcaterra @BCalcaterra]

These tips would be great to use in the classroom because it could help for a more productive environment and better relationships with your students. #edu2022
