@winey02 Hey #educ331! 1 thing I learned as a teacher the past few months is the mindset that we should never, ever hold a grudge against our kids. They could be having a bad day or having personal problems, but we should always start fresh and help them see how amazing they are!

Hey #educ331 ! The podcast I’ve been loving lately is the Brave New Teaching podcast. Marie and Amanda cover everything from teacher self-care to more touchy subjects like banned books, censorship and questioning Shakespeare. Check out the link for their site below!

A6a: #educ331

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

@AbbyRobinder I completely agree. There were parts of being online that were nice, but there were definitely parts of being in class virtually all day that I struggled with #educ331

@MJenkiessss I also think it would be fun to do a VR haunted house with students, but I may scare myself while we make it, lol #educ331

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

A4: One piece of tech that I really want to try, especially in a stagecraft class, is VR to help students' ideas for set designs come to life. I brought up in my infographic that there are people who can't visualize things in their mind, so VR could help in those moments #educ331

A5: "...technology in the classroom should make teachers' jobs easier without adding extra time to their day." Technology can be an amazing tool when we open ourselves up to learning how to use it effectively #educ331

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

@MJenkiessss I'm interested in using VR in the classroom too! Definintely have to do research about different programs I could use in English and theatre classes with VR

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

@AbbyRobinder That sounds like so much fun! I hope you get to play around with it soon! #educ331

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

@AbbyRobinder Going off of what Heavanly said, many students can use Google Translate or tools like it. There is a student in one of the classes I help out in who speaks very limited English, so they use Google Translate on their ipad to communicate with people #educ331

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

A3: I agree that technology helps build collaboration and communication, because some students are far more comfortable typing out a response or a discussion question than raising their hand and speaking in front of the class #educ331

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

@MJenkiessss I love that you are thinking not only about how it can improve your students' learning but how you can learn and strengthen new skills through technology, too! #educ331

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

A2: I've learned that although theatre is very active and is mostly "meant" to be live (it can be streamed and be just as fun!), there are absolutely ways to include technology such as VR to make the learning process more accessible #educ331

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

@msmsmice "Exits persued by a bear" is my favorite line from any Shakespeare play! (fun fact: it was the first written stage direction in Shakespeare's written scripts, which at the time were just lists of people's lines handed to them) #educ331

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

@Heavanly6 Both! I have seen several English teachers double as a theatre teacher and teach 3-4 classes of each subject each day, and they seemed like they were having a ton of fun! #educ331

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

A1: My name is Hannah, I am an English ed and theatre major, and the reason I chose an education concentration is because I wanted to find a way to combine my passions and love for both English and theatre, and here I am! #educ331

@AKSchoolytics @alicekeeler Hi Alice, sorry about that, thank you for correcting me!

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

#pstpln #FF Hi everyone, happy Friday! I have a few people I’ve discovered this week who I highly recommend following. Here’s a thread of all of these wonderful people!

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

@TeacherAnna23 These are really great resources! I would also add the website Talking Points, which is similar to seesaw but it allows teachers to message students and their families, and will translate for you if a family speaks a language other than English at home!

[Hannah Leavy @HannahLeavy_]

@Kaitlynn_Sil I love this so much! Did you have a teacher who positively influenced you? If so, how did they affect your current approach to teaching?
