@HusseyPaige @Pixar I use these with my 5th graders too. They LOVE them! Such a fun and effective way to teach them plot elements. Plus, I never get sick of watching "For the Birds". Hilarious!

@HusseyPaige @Pixar I have used these with my class too, and they love them! Such a great way to teach them how to identify elements of plot, and I never get sick of watching For the Birds!

@msmcdonough17 @kknigge70 Go for it! I started Genius Hour in my classroom four years ago, and I never looked back. I am always amazed at what my students can do!

[Kris Conway @KrisConway17]

A glimpse into my classroom: Genius Hour is my favorite part of the week & this project was extra special. Not only did he explore 3D printing, but he designed his project to show kindness to a classmate! Creativity & Kindness in action! ❤️@kknigge70 #edtechusf675 #edtechusf

I want to incorporate AR experiences in my classroom this year. #googleexpeditions are an amazing resource! @kknigge70 #edtechusf675 #edtechusf

Summertime = a great time to look at the stars, and hopefully see a comet! There's a #GoogleExpeditions tour to help with that, too! Check out the Expeditions #AR tour on comets ☄️: https://t.co/RKFkA60TOg

#everyonecansketch challenges are super fun and engaging for students and invoke creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving. Here are some sketches my students created for challenge #9. @kknigge70 #edtechusf675 #edtechusf

So much is expected from our students & they need to understand that mistakes are a part of the learning process. It is okay to make them! I am passionate about teaching growth mindset & the Creatrilolgy series is my favorite way to start. @kknigge70 #edtechusf675 #edtechusf

[Kris Conway @KrisConway17]

I love this! I can't wait to incorporate this into my classroom. Students feel more ownership when they reflect and monitor their own behaviors. @kknigge70 #edtechusf675 #edtechusf

What a fun way to help foster the 4C's within the classroom. Makey Makey's would be a great STEM tool to revisit each month and have students complete different innovation challenges. Looks like a great workshop too! @@kknigge70 #edtechusf675 #edtechusf

I picked up a copy of The Zen Teacher last month, but I have been so busy & have not started reading it yet. I am so excited for this podcast! It is important to take care of ourselves, reduce our stress, and create balance in our life! @kknigge70 #edtechusf675 #edtechusf
