Hats off to my co-presenter, @EllenGianakis, for a great #creationlab #ISTE session today! Please be sure to take a look at our resource file/toolkits to help you AND your students get started as creators of VR/AR/MR! Let us know if you have any questions ÷]

[Ellen Gianakis @ellengianakis]

Thank you to everyone who joined our #ISTE session today! If you have any questions as you continue to explore VR/AR in your schools, don’t hesitate to reach out to us! Make sure you also check out our resource folder: https://t.co/vBOL2Ap5nW #ISTE20 #iste20LIVE #iste2020

@ShemaNicole @ellengianakis It was so great to have a fellow Bulldog join our session today ÷]. We're so glad that you found it informative!

[Rosalind Abreu @InRozLand]

Join @EllenGianakis and me tomorrow, December 1st at 4pm EST for our #ISTE session to learn more about how you can empower students as constructors of VR/AR/MR and to view our virtual gallery of student exemplars! #ISTE20 #ISTE20live #ISTE2020

[Rosalind Abreu @InRozLand]

A virtual gallery walk of some of the finished products. Hoping to come up with some collaboratively-distant project ideas for this unique time in our learning experience. #DcLSTEM #PCTVS #STEMed

Thinking about the last week I saw my Ss & their collaborative projects about applying triangle congruence theorems to create truss bridges. Proud of the accuracy and precision executed in each creation. Thanks to my colleagues for the supplies and ideas. Video below ÷] @DcLstem

Was so math happy watching @DcLstem students work together to figure out the Black History Month Scavenger Hunt clue this morning that I designed using a locker combination lock and some math problems ÷]. Thanks for the opportunity to execute this @AtiyaHarley .

[Rosalind Abreu @InRozLand]

@Arc_of_Progress Ms. Salma sent this to our team! It got me so math happy ÷]. We're thinking about designing some kind of activity around it.

[Rosalind Abreu @InRozLand]

Was not teaching the most riveting lesson today (factoring quadratic trinomials where a>1) when I witnessed one of the best "aha" moments in my career.

Referencing her factored form to the binomials we multiplied in our StartUp, student exclaimed, "The end is where we started!"

[Rosalind Abreu @InRozLand]

"Fist at the belly" - students prep to send a subtle signal of 'thumbs up' as a way to inform that they have something to contribute. This strategy encourages all students to participate in problems and discussions and it reduces the "spectator effect" after seeing a raised hand.

[edutopia @edutopia]

A thumbs up 👍🏾for this strategy that encourages *all* students to participate in class.

[Rosalind Abreu @InRozLand]

Gonser notes that documenting the design process - purposeful class time of cycling through projects, stumbling, starting over and improving - is key to developing a growth mindset of learning from mistakes and showing students their progress over time.

[edutopia @edutopia]

Students with a fixed mindset may “feel anxious about failure because they see it as a negative statement on their basic knowledge in a subject or class.” These 4 strategies are important for teaching students how to tolerate failure & develop resilience. https://t.co/PU0Ta84B2p

And here lies the real competition.

Time is running out for you (@DcLstem) to register your guess(es) for how many candies are in each jar! Find a freshman student rep or Ms. Abreu or Mrs. Peragallo.

So excited to be accepted to present at #ISTE2020 with @InRozLand! 🥳💕 #DcLstem

[Rosalind Abreu @InRozLand]

@ellengianakis #PDT 😊. So glad to have a great team member and opportunity to develop and share ideas.

[Ellen Gianakis @ellengianakis]

@DcLstem does lunch to celebrate #NationalSTEMDay 😊📚💕 @NJEA @InRozLand @NancySueee @MsisRogersPVMS @CopaTV #stemfam #stemfest

[Rosalind Abreu @InRozLand]

@mrs_pasq And thanks to you for helping out my students by providing feedback to their narratives. #CrossCurricularCollaboration

[Rosalind Abreu @InRozLand]

@MrDeltaMath Very excited about this ÷]
Will the proofs be available by topic (ie. quadrilaterals, parallel lines and transversals, etc) or rather in a general "geometry proofs" topic as seen on the sample?

[Rosalind Abreu @InRozLand]

@TallTechyTeach @Catlin_Tucker A suggestion for the min grade requirements: have students complete reflections+corrections on formative assessments that can earn them points back (I do 50% or next rubric score). This way the grade can be updated at a later date and students are encouraged to be reflective.

Personalized learning can be a reality without investing in expensive hardware or applications—but it does require an investment in people and relationships. https://t.co/ayVVl58TRo

Math provides us with a critical lens through which to view our world: https://t.co/J5N1bppcvD.

Single scores provide us with "a false sense of precision" says Rose. https://t.co/amBOttnv8L
