@carter1kinder Could not agree more! They're the foundation of everything!

Elementary students—even in the early grades—can develop confidence in math with this strategy.

#edu638 best time for reflection!

[Dr. Andy Jacks @_AndyJacks]

Anyone else find it amazing how many educators are tweeting and sharing about how to be better for kids EVEN DURING THE SUMMER! What an awesome profession!

[Courtney Michael @CourtMichaelNC]

#edu638 oh so true!

[Alice Keeler @alicekeeler]

Superintendent emailed me. Here is his signature line.

Expecting a kid to learn only from a textbook is like asking them to look at a travel brochure and calling it a vacation.

7 great metacognitive questions for students. The research shows that metacognitive strategies can be taught—and lead to better planning, preparation, and performance. A short piece I edited for @edutopia.

[Courtney Michael @CourtMichaelNC]

#edu638 thinking of how many different platforms and how regularly we could provide our students with this opportunity of self reflection

#edu638 I would love more electives in elementary! I could only imagine how many technology geared ones would be desired among students!

[Mehrak Selby @3msoccer]

I love the idea of building curiosity through electives. Would love to hear more about how secondary schools are having success using this model.

[edutopia @edutopia]

Even when cell phones are out of sight, they still occupy space in students’ minds.

[Courtney Michael @CourtMichaelNC]

#edu638 I hadn't thought about using @Flipgrid as a means to connect with parents too! Love it! I wonder if enough parents have a smartphone to access it from an app?

[Kevin Boyle @KevinBo55423092]

Flipgrid allows teachers to facilitate video discussions. This will allow me to record my monthly newsletter and save time in my prep. The only obstacle I know I will run into is not all of my students have a computer/internet at home since I teach in a district 45% low income.

@AnsonHillary Love this! Relationships should always be the foundation!

@KellyHelgoth @gimkit This is neat! Thank you for sharing!
