@markyap501 Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

Thanks to @MyPowerSchool for inviting us to share our love of blended learning strategies... featuring some of our favorite @Schoology tips and tricks, of course! #PowerSchoolLIVE #SchoologyAMB

[Mark Yap @markyap501]

@KristieLBurk @DMShovlin are sharing "Extending your District’s Instructional Model Beyond the Four Walls of the Classroom - Thriving int he Age of Blending Learning" #PowerSchoolLIVE

[Mark Yap @markyap501]

@DMShovlin recommends [ providing Ss] "...opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge through something a little bit more contemporary or true to what their culture is." #PowerSchoolLIVE

[Mark Yap @markyap501]

Blended learning is NOT scanning worksheets and putting them online. "We need to think about more innovative ways that we're asking students to meet standards and demonstrate mastery of content and knowledge. " - @DMShovlin #PowerSchoolLIVE

@macnbeans @RiggsRealWorld @EdTechDani @techie_teacher1 @itsmeivan @irvspanish @JaredTeaching I think after the PS acquisition there won’t be any more.

Trying to remember, as I answer student emails about questions I already answered in an update, that maybe it's not about the question itself, but more about a sense of regularity in uncertain times -- that I'm still here, ready & willing to help, even though we're not in school.

Hey- I know of these amazing @Schoology educators and #fAMBily!! @cliftonmary @DMShovlin @JaredRLopatin @LizLubeskie @TeachingMD @irvspanish

[Denise Shovlin Desmond @DMShovlin]

@MrChemGeek You know it! My most important goal as an educator. 💪🏻

[Denise Shovlin Desmond @DMShovlin]

@TNording @Schoology I would love it for use in discussion boards and assignments! When I ask students to choose emojis for characters, they have to insert or attach an image. This would be so much easier!

[Denise Shovlin Desmond @DMShovlin]

Needed a moment of quiet peace today. Found it in the @DWestLibrary Maker Space. (I contributed three whole pieces. 💪🏻)

[Denise Shovlin Desmond @DMShovlin]

@MrChemGeek I tell student teachers and mentees all the time: secretaries and maintenance keep schools running. Know them. Appreciate them. Value them.

[Denise Shovlin Desmond @DMShovlin]

A student painting a mural dropped her phone into the bottomless pit behind my classroom’s HVAC unit. Our maintenance staff went above and beyond to retrieve it, with good humor and smiles along the way. Thankful for them today!

[Denise Shovlin Desmond @DMShovlin]

The replies to and support on this Tweet are important for so many reasons.

1. We all feel this way sometimes.
2. It’s okay to not be okay.
3. Check in regularly with your teacher friends and colleagues. They/we need it.

Thank you, everyone. 💛

[Denise Shovlin Desmond @DMShovlin]

You guys, this job is really hard sometimes.

That’s all.

Look at this @Schoology Dream Team! #SchoologyAMB @LizLubeskie @DMShovlin @EdwardsPSD @DeLucaPSD @mrmauerman

[Denise Shovlin Desmond @DMShovlin]

@DrFrankBuck @KristieLBurk @fetc @Schoology Yes, an email was sent to the presenters bringing the issue to their attention and asking for proper credit. We have not yet heard back from them.

[Denise Shovlin Desmond @DMShovlin]

Educators present at conferences not for glory or personal gain, but to share ideas and experience with the hope of benefiting all. We want our ideas out there... but not at the expense of professional courtesy or proper attribution and content credit.

1/6 I am extremely upset & hurt this morning. I was looking at a slide deck for an upcoming presentation @fetc and noticed that two presenters took several slides from a presentation that @DMShovlin and I presented at @schoology conference two years ago! #fetc #schoologyamb
