@MissDenko There never seems to be enough time to do everything you want to #ecet2

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

A9 make my classroom an open learning environment for students to learn about what they want to, how they want to #ecet2 #eloned

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

@lyndsayteaches I like it #ecet2

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

@lyndsayteaches Letting go of what exactly? #ecet2

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

A8 there are always more and better ways to differentiate learning. Constantly reaching out to others for ideas #ecet2 #ElonEd

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

@TeachDB17 Losing control would definitely be bad for trying to teach Ss the rest of the year #ecet2

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

A7 students not knowing what to expect and not getting into a class rhythm #ecet2 #ElonEd

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

A6 showing examples of how flexibility has helped them in the classroom #ecet2 #eloned

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

@arinabokas I love that picture representation #ecet2 #ElonEd

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

A5 equal is everyone getting the same thing, fair is everyone getting what they need. equal is not always better #ecet2 #ElonEd

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

@TeachDB17 I like the idea of "equity" in grading rather than fairness #ecet2

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

A4 grading should reflect student understanding, not just the number from a test. If understanding happens, grading should show it #ecet2

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

A3 technology can impede flexibility if a plan depends on technology, then the tech doesn't work #ecet2 #ElonEd

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

A2 planning ahead and staying on track. making changed lessons still relate to original ideas #ecet2 #ElonEd

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

@TeachEvanBee I agree, having a student/teacher connection is important in everyone adapting to what's happening #ecet2 #ElonEd

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

A1 being flexible allows for a failed lesson to be turned around into a success when you see what went wrong #ecet2

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

Joe from Elon, NC. Currently in school for science ed. Worked for a service org for an extra hour #ecet2 #eloned

[Joe Makowitz @JMakowitz]

Being a liked teacher requires more than just pleasing students on a personal level #eloned https://t.co/yem3D4eVMo

Does education have much to do with how many people vote? #eloned https://t.co/JtoTugGKc2

[Science News @ScienceNews]

U.S. voter turnout is low compared to other developed countries. Here are some reasons why. https://t.co/jKeMnXyi3k

Like in physics, perspective can change how a problem is solved or a situation is handled. This is true in student's mind too #eloned
