@ReeInspired Oh, this is exactly the kind of motivation I needed. Thanks!

@seananmcguire I follow you because I've been reading you for a decade, but the surprise nostalgia from the pony posts is a real nice bonus.

Heres the thing. The behavior we are seeing exhibited by these two White men in suits & ties on a national stage would result in suspensions that leads to entanglement with the criminal justice system for Black children #HipHopEd #Debates2020

In a recent dissent, Amy Coney Barrett wrote that the right to vote and serve on juries belonged "only to virtuous citizens." Her opinion also suggests that all civic rights are subject to virtue-based exceptions.

@SamPye7 @huangjaz @ShaneSafir @trussleadership @Ready4rigor @Alcine_Envision @papalodown @CISEducation @GlobalKdsl But then that "gentle curiosity" is rooted in the idea that America belongs to white people and that anyone who isn't white owes you an explanation as to why they are here...and there you have white supremacy

@nleslie_12 Great point! Powerful lesson in communication. I've had students write "tweets" from historical fig. POV, but never actually using platform. Maybe if I taught older kiddos. #USDEDUC562

@JessleenMoss That sounds awesome! We sometimes do "genius time" where students get to research and report out on anything they want. I'm always pleasantly surprised by the range of interests! @4EDUC562 makes a great point about stamina!

[Shayna Coplan @CoplanShayna]

@OrnelasLori Yes! I had to re teach my little "digital natives" how to share a document and email an attachment just today!

@nleslie_12 @Slate Interesting article! I find myself multi tasking all the time, and I have to make a special effort to NOT multi task when the task is important/academic.

Dig. literacy requires students to locate info, evaluate sources, comprehend and create, all while tempted with flashing ads and cool links.

Like @teachjmiller said - it is important for educators to embrace digital mediums...For a lot of us that means learning to participate (share, contribute, connect) right along with our students. Participating in a responsible and meaningful way can be a challenge. #USDEDUC562

@JessleenMoss Agree! Reading enjoyment, motivation and competancy are inextricably linked. Reading in one modality can def. lead to more motivation across modalities.

[Shayna Coplan @CoplanShayna]

Traditional literacy and digital literacy can peacefully coexist. Teachers need to embrace the needs of modern student and use digital resources to increase motivation for ALL types of reading. #USDEDUC562
