@LaneWalker2 What a great way to cross-content teach! My focus is middle school ELA, so I'm always looking for ways to cross-content teach. #avilaedtech

A1b: Students seem checked out...especially after MAP. What's their motivation to keep working...aside from the obvious grade? #moedchat #avilaedtech

[Sarah Young @ELAteachMS]

@mpainter_14 @MOedchat Totally agree with giving the reigns to the students. I feel like they've probably earned it by the end of the year to be able to guide the class a bit...if they don't already. Thanks for the ideas! #avilaedtech

Thanks for a fun first time chat! #moedchat #avilaedtech

A6: Students cue off of the teacher, so if you give up teaching, they'll give up learning. But, where else are they going to learn what their amazing potential is or how far they can go if you stop inspiring, engaging,challenging? #moedchat #avilaedtech

[Sarah Young @ELAteachMS]

A5: Having a project where students create a self-reflection on their own progress over the year could keep them engaged AND give you feedback for the next year too #moedchat #avilaedtech #FinishStrong

@joshchoward I like your idea of "The Howie Awards." Not only cementing relationships, but encouraging students too. Great! #avilaedtech

A4: Aside from QT drinks, group work, student led topics, reader circles, purposeful use of tech helps to #finishstrong #moedchat #avilaedtech

[Sarah Young @ELAteachMS]

A3: It seems the more you can incorporate purposeful tech, the better for keeping interest #moedchat #avilaedtech

[Sarah Young @ELAteachMS]

@DrKiaCoaches That's a really great way to think of MAP testing. Thanks for reframing for me! #avilaedtech

[Sarah Young @ELAteachMS]

@LaneWalker2 Do you find you bring in tech a lot more toward the end of the year to keep interest/motivation going? #avilaedtech

[Sarah Young @ELAteachMS]

A1: It's extremely hard to stay focused! Can't get enough movement or interactions in my classes. #MOedchat #avilaedtech #FinishStrong

@MOedchat I'm Sarah and I'm a student at Avila University in KCMO working to be a MS ELA teacher. Looking forward to tonight's discussion as I'll be student teaching Spring 2019 and need all the tips and tricks I can get! #moedchat #avilaedtech #FinishStrong

[Sarah Young @ELAteachMS]

A2: Remembering the stress you had as a student trying to end the year well while wanting to play. External motivation like sticker charts, stamps, or silly trinkets could help release stress for students and help them push thru to the end #moedchat #FinishStrong #avilaedtech

[Sarah Young @ELAteachMS]

@MOedchat I'm a student at Avila University in KCMO, hoping to become a teacher in MS ELA. I'm looking forward to learning tips and tricks to help end the year strong since I'll be student teaching Spring 2019. 😱😅 #finishingstrong #moedchat #avilaedtech

@MarkTheShark81 does classroom dojo allow you to post files and such? Edmodo allows you to post files, give deadlines, and create a classroom posting wall for interaction/questions.

[Sarah Young @ELAteachMS]

A1: Depending on district policy, I really like Edmodo for classroom management/organization #avilaedtech
