RT @MilFamLN: @MindShiftKQED has this great article on strategies for supporting kids at home and at school when it comes to managing anxiety. https://t.co/KKdiKIyXUH
Good morning! Teachers, do you have any #STEM activities for Halloween/fall? I did a candy corn tower challenge a few years ago and it was a disaster. Would love something that isn’t too expensive. All ideas welcome! #teachertwitter
Twitter is a great low stakes way for students to express their ideas. The first step in being digitally literate is being able to put yourself out there, and Twitter would be a great place to start, and simple for my 3rd graders. #USDEDUC562 @Melissa93519457
Engaging students in online material means allowing choice, and sometimes that choice will be ‘made up’ information, but along with the choice we need to teach our students to evaluate what they are reading. #USDEDUC562
@4thGradeTeache1 Exactly! They read because they are interested! Engagement is important when developing comprehension, evaluating information can come with time. #USDEDUC562
@teachJMiller I agree, free choice is important to developing literacy, and so is a balance of reading a variety of genres and platforms. It’s ok to read untrue information as long as the student knows it’s untrue. It’s about reading for pleasure. #USDEDUC562
@Ms_K89B3 @Lynch39083#USDEDUC562 Thank for sharing this article. This is a great article that I need to pass to my third grade team! We get dictionaries donated every year and we've been having a discussion to continue accepting them . . . according to this, we should move to online dictionaries.
Students need to learn strategies to help with comprehension of digital texts, so they need to engage with texts in meaningful ways to prevent falling down the rabbit hole of eternal links. #USDEDUC562 https://t.co/JYZYCinRDv
When thinking about demands of digital literacies, I struggle with participating in digital literacy. My students, like @NestorHenrriqu3, also struggle with composing content. In order to allow my students to grow as readers, I need more technology in my classroom. #USDEDUC562
