@HuntingJacob @Collin_Vonk Haha that is great!! 😂😂

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

@HuntingJacob @Collin_Vonk Ah man. I remember playing that game at your house all night lol 😂. It’s insane the price that game is going for!!!!

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

@HuntingJacob @Collin_Vonk Sweet!! I have NCAA 14 for my 360, but my console stopped working two weeks ago… I want to send it in to fix it and to get it modded for revamped.

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

@HuntingJacob @Collin_Vonk Oh sweet! Do you have revamped for the NCAA game??

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

@HuntingJacob @Collin_Vonk For Xbox 360 or PS3?

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

@Collin_Vonk @HuntingJacob Those were the best! 😂

I never thought that much about literacy in science. But in my experiences with this class, my content area, and placement, I notice that it is a fundamental part of understanding and learning #edr321

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

Giving students real world issues to solve problems helps them take ownership of their learning and they see the product of the quality of work, time, and effort they put in. #EDR321

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

@Bran_Aho I think a mixture of both works. You can push them out of their comfort zone to expose them to something that is out of their choosing and challenges them. But as a student myself, I am certainly more engaged with something that interests me.

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

Learning is not achieved through just "hands-on" activities, their minds must also be engaged. #EDR#321

A very interesting debate. I have found so far in my unit that my students are performing better on assignments that I give them time to do in class compared to having them complete as homework. #EDT370 https://t.co/T9QZtNElxl

Homework - the debate never goes away, so....

Using technology in the classroom has its benefits, but we need to make sure that we, as teachers, are not overloading our students on the screens. It could have negative effects. #EDT370 https://t.co/aNe8NHPRCw

@MissSchweda That's a really cool thing that your school does! I think it would definitely be beneficial if other schools implemented what yours does. Interesting to see some data on students production before and after doing this reading break.

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

This reading does not just have to be in an English class. I try and get my students to read as often as we can in Science! #EDT370 https://t.co/GPW2oivcqQ

All secondary school students would benefit from having 15 to 30 minutes of dedicated reading time built into the school day https://t.co/ZJ0hs4YKG3

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

@tollistweets I agree! I have found some pretty good science content on there too. #EDT370

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

Unfortunately I can't make it this year. But I see there are some pretty good talks and lessons that will be presented #EDT370 https://t.co/VnbzRBu0na

@Anthony_Rhcp Hey if you have any free time on Wednesday nights, you should come to @GVSU and talk about teaching music. We meet from 6-8:50 in downtown Grand Rapids!!! Please DM me and let me know! #EDR321

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

"Mastery based learning is no longer impractical. If students need to see an explanation at their own time and pace. We have on-demand video for that, we have adaptive work for extra practice". #EDR321

[Justin Pippel @JustinPippel]

After analyzing students' work, one can easily get a sense what your students understand and what they don't. The challenge as a teacher is getting them to the level where they all understand it and teach it to each other. #EDR321
