@witchyrichy @VDOE_News The two we've had are from folks that tell you they represent a client who's image you are using and that you must link to a certain site in order to make restitution. The site has nothing to do with the original creator.

Students in Ms. Walls English learners class are using virtual reality to improve their English language skills. These students can use the VR program to visit a grocery store, airport, restaurant and communicate with a virtual employee! Amazing technology for learning!

Administer a ‘Name Quiz’ in class. Don’t grade it, of course, just use it for feedback to check classroom community.
How did they do?
If the results signal a need to go deeper, check out the Building Classroom Community Micro-Credential.

This week is National World Language Week! It's a great time to bring awareness to the benefits of being multilingual.

This year's theme is "Celebrate humanity through language." Learning a new language teaches students how to communicate and connect with others.

[Bridget Mariano @bdmarian]

Learning on purpose. Intentional curation. @nicscud

Cool resource, but remember "free" does not mean "openly-licensed." Always read Terms of Use: Mathigon's say "not to archive, reproduce, distribute, modify, display, perform, publish, license, create derivative works" Create a link to their site instead.

[Libo Valencia 🧮 MathPlay @MrValencia24]

If you’re teaching sequences, check out the amazing free resources @MathigonOrg. Today precalc ss at #WeAreChappaqua got to explore and #MathPlay with the Fibonacci sequence while analyzing “ideal vs real” conditions 🐇🐰
