Using @Makedo we created Stanley the Killer Snowman who attended the Google Summit in Colorado Springs. His body spins and his arms rotate. We used no glue and minimal tape. Thanks, @JLenore24 !! #EdTechTeam

@HollyClarkEdu Using @Flipgrid with adults in the school community or as a prescreening tool for teacher candidates... #mindblown #edtechteam

Love this quote. “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” -Buckminster Fuller Thanks for sharing in your article @ajjuliani 🙌

If we aren't providing opportunities to engage in personal and meaningful learning, what are we doing? Are we educating for life or for school?

[George Couros @gcouros]

A subtle difference between "How do we increase student attendance?" and "How do we create an environment where students want to attend school?" The second question puts an onus on what environments we create in our classrooms that students are excited to be a part of.

[George Couros @gcouros]

If our focus is solely on "engagement" in the classroom, we've created a culture where the student needs a teacher to learn. If we focus more on empowerment, the student gains ownership over their own learning, growth, and direction. #InnovatorsMindset

I stumbled across this picture of an assessment one of my previous students took. At the time, I told him he was incorrect. In hindsight I wish I would have celebrated his response. #choosehappyed #becreative #educhat

I can point to more "old' teachers who are doing amazing things than I can to teachers who think they are too old to learn ____. Age is not a variable for learning. Attitude is.

My daughter shared this story with me this morning: “A boy was always sad until he saw the path to happiness. He saw people who were happy & he was happy too.”♥️Together let’s raise each other up & spread more happiness! #StarfishClub #igniteyourshine #ChooseHappy

When we shame people they are more likely to hide what they are doing than change the behavior. @MrazKristine ❤️🙌🏽 #CCIRA18

With an average class size of 40, do not talk to me about accountability. I will do my best. Do not expect miracles.

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

A wise teacher knows that showing empathy & compassion to students doesn't mean you are weak & soft. It means you are strong enough to care.

[Justin Tarte @justintarte]

The attitudes of the adults in a school in time become the attitudes of the students. Never forget that your #attitude is contagious.
