A resource I was made aware of today- could be good for something a little different in next week's lesson. Try a simulation in math, science, etc! @PhETsims

I completely agree! I have had this thought too- #distancelearning (especially here in the USA) will hopefully bring more educators into the 21st century of educational innovation and creative thinking in the classroom

What will it look like when all is said and done with #COVID19 and we return to school? My school is attempting to cross this 'finish line' so I started thinking about "new school". #pypchat #mypchat #onlinelearning https://t.co/guGb3wsVlh

It seems like everything is getting cancelled, but do you know what doesn't cancel?

@terSonya @GoNoodle Thanks!! I'll pass this along and see what she says! We're trying to pow wow Options for Sped service delivery too which is proving to be tricky. Uncharted territory for sure but we will all come out the other end so resourceful 😛

Teacher on Facebook "I’m deliberately only sending my students small tasks that they are already used to doing from the classroom. I just want them to still feel connected and not overwhelmed. "

@NEAToday If you're not focused on their learning, they won't be either.

I’m posting a daily discussion question on @Schoology and I also have a discussion board up for anything they want to tell me. I miss them but being able to connect with them is amazing. Thank you @Schoology !! ❤️

[Sarah Christesen @GrowPolymathic]

@TomEMullaney @GoogleForEdu Will do! We're a Google district so tools are all in place, folks just need to learn the ropes a little. Let me know if you see/hear anything about how to deliver Sped services at this time. That like seems to be a hot topic.

[Sarah Christesen @GrowPolymathic]

Weeeeeell it's been a while but #distancelearning calls for a reinvigoration of this Twitter account! Time to learn from the best of the best- teachers on Twitter! @TomEMullaney I just sent your site to my new school staff to help support @GoogleForEdu questions. Here we go!
