@TimothyPShea School reforms lobbied by the federal government shift the focus away from genuine learning to test scores; this cultivates a poor educational philosophy and poor students take the brunt of a poor education that stresses compliance rather than exploration #lbcinclusion

@TeachThought Podcasting- students learn through conversation that gives them a meaningful audience. #lbcinclusion @TimothyPShea

[Kendrick Weaver @KendrickWeaver8]

@KellyNHeishman @TimothyPShea Yes Kelly!! I totally agree with what you said. Allow students to get use to and enjoy the process of writing before worrying about grammar #readwriteteach

[Kendrick Weaver @KendrickWeaver8]

@sevr0612 @TimothyPShea I love how you mentioned social media is important because it allows us to meet students where they are at. Social media is an avenue for learning that students are familiar with and use on a regular basis. #readwriteteach

@TimothyPShea Q3: Having students analyze pictures, music videos, commercials, adds, and other forms of media, for meaning is a way to integrate technology into the classroom. Media literacy is crucial for our modern day. #readwriteteach

@TimothyPShea I want to use film in my classroom as a way to get students excited about science. Watching a science movie gets students interested in science concepts. It's a way to differentiate instruction for students so they can be successful in the classroom. #readwriteteach

[Kendrick Weaver @KendrickWeaver8]

@TimothyPShea Its a way to connect with and make students excited about learning. Also, students remember movies more than they remember reading a book; movies stimulate more of the senses.

Teaching with films can help make students excited about science and can help to foster curiously. #readwriteteach

Here are some ideas from @edutopia on incorporating literacy in the science classroom- my favorite? Text Engineering! https://t.co/bT47ucWasc

[Kendrick Weaver @KendrickWeaver8]

@sevr0612 @TimothyPShea So true! True literacy makes students think about what underlaying meaning is.

[Kendrick Weaver @KendrickWeaver8]

Literacy is more than a study of phonics and grammar. Literacy also involves looking at a text and seeing how the author uses language to portray his, or her, worldview. #readwriteteach @TimothyPShea

[Kendrick Weaver @KendrickWeaver8]

What is literacy in the 21st century? #readwriteteach @TimothyPShea

[Kendrick Weaver @KendrickWeaver8]

One aspect of literacy is language, and in the 21st century language is a social meaning making process. What we know about language we have learned from being with others and interacting with them. Teaching literacy should have be a social endeavor #readwriteteach @TimothyPShea

[Kendrick Weaver @KendrickWeaver8]

Literacy is more than just making sure students can read and write well. There are multiple ways in the 21st century to express meaning such as music, art, and drama. #readwriteteach @TimothyPShea
