Went to pond for ecosystem learning. Students could only focus on all the trash. So they went to work! #385edchat

A5 part 2 Twitter has benefited me by opening a door to new project ideas, classroom management techniques and innovative/technological strategies to incorporate real word application. #385edchat

A5 part 1 Having more staff on twitter would benefit USD 385 by giving teachers the opportunity to collaborate without the structured day/time constraints of district in-service or after school (which is very difficult to do if you coach or sponsor an activity). #385edchat

@kbrown1742 Absolutely! Parent stories could range in any direction. You dont know what story you may get: motivational, successful, sad, overcoming, hard knocks, hard work, wrong choices, persistent.....and each one could make a connection to a student that could change his/her life.

I would like to surprise the students by having parents of each student come during their science hour to talk about the importance of education and how it relates to their job. #385edchat

A3 Interested in reading Shift This. This would be very beneficial to enhancing leadership and ownership of their work. Effort = Success #385edchat

@FoxK_98the basic character issues are fine to encourage, but sometimes teachers try to push their values and try to override parents values

[Kevin Fox @FoxK_98]

A2 I totally agree with bridging the gap between the business world and the classroom, but I am not all in on character education #385edchat

[Kevin Fox @FoxK_98]

@ArtKaylor great way to get discussions started or elaborating on previous ones

@JRTittsworth
I could see this being a "hit" especially if they get to throw them at the teacher....ha ha JK

@garrison_III
Great higher level form of communication between student and teacher

[Kevin Fox @FoxK_98]

A1. I like the Exit Ticket Folder idea, because it recaps what the students are learning and is a valuable feedback back tool. #385edchat

#385edchat This is @MrsCReading classroom. They are having Genius Hour!

#385edchat I am very proud of this young man because of the great job he did on giving his ecosystem presentation. He has only been in my classroom for a few months and the most amazing part is prior to joining my class he was in the HTML class!

[Kevin Fox @FoxK_98]

@kbrown1742 Agree, the little things make a difference.

#385edchat Challenge 3: When I receive a note from a student, it blesses me that a student would take the time to show such thoughtfulness. It is an encouragement to a teacher and coach.

#385edchat Challenge 2: The students are building spaghetti and marshmallow bridges. Then they are testing the bridges to see whose bridge will hold the most weight.

[Kevin Fox @FoxK_98]

@SrtaMendenhall Cool table design. I bet these are motivational to the students.
