A day well spent! Proud of our trainer cohort! @EdTechAri #RUSDLearns #google #googletrainer #smashinggoals

[Renee Hill @TeamTeachUSA]

Yesterday, our cohort talked about the tsunami of grief and loss that awaits us whenever we return to campus and a little about how we might begin some emergency preparations. Here's a tool for your go-kit. https://t.co/fEkd6rkL51

“Memorizing facts is generally seen as less important than developing skills like critical thinking. In fact, though, having information stored in your memory is what enables you to think critically.”

Dyslexia is a superpower according to my dyslexic daughter!

Boom. I still believe dyslexia is a superpower.

Often students haven't had many opportunities to practice intentional planning because the teacher has done this work ahead of time, defining deadlines, deliverables and rubrics. https://t.co/lON8tKPMHI @BusEdCrev @Kschwart #edchat #geniushour #pblchat

"Play deprivation is bad for children. Among other things, it promotes anxiety, depression, suicide, narcissism, and loss of creativity," writes Peter Gray @aeonmag https://t.co/OC8NTO9p86 #longread #edchat #parents #parenting #play #GSPD2019

"When a school doesn’t have a high-quality curriculum and T's go look for their own materials, teachers spend too much time looking for resources, and not enough time on pedagogy." @JanaBethFrancis
