@MissKornatowski Hey Marissa! I love all the points you made. I'm definitely looking to teach in a foreword-thinking environment like the one you've described. I have high hopes that this generation of teachers will have these goals in mind. #PSTPLN #CEP416

@SloaneRodrigue2 Hi, Sloane! I agree about wanting to be in a supportive environment. This is especially important as we think about challenging traditional classroom norms! #CEP416 #PSTPLN

A5: Hi, I'm Julia from MSU. When I'm looking for a job, I want to end up in a district that values student-centered thinking and learning. I want to be supported as I develop lesson plans that integrate areas such as the arts and tech. #PSTPLN #CEP416

@OliviaGMears Hi Olivia! I always loved using Kahoot in the classroom and have some great memories of competition between students in my classroom that still allows for students to be anonymous and work independently. #PSTPLN #cep416

@MissKornatowski Hi Marissa! I haven't used instagram yet to find ideas for teaching. What accounts or hashtags do you follow to get ideas? #CEP416 #PSTPLN

[Julia Kurth @KurthMs]

A4: Hi, I'm Julia! So far, I've loved using Pinterest as a teaching resource. I love finding ideas for classroom organization, management and lesson planning ideas. #PSTPLN #cep416

@SpatchyMsu @swati1201 I agree that problem-solving is a skill students should be able to use both inside and outside of the classroom. Technology should be used as a support, but not the only resource. #PSTPLN #cep416

@MissKornatowski Hi Marissa! I love that you are vulnerable in saying that you might not know the answers to everything. I think that a lot of times, teachers are perceived as all-knowing individuals by students, and it's important that we show students the resources we use. #PSTPLN #cep416

[Julia Kurth @KurthMs]

A3: Problem-solving should be student-focused. Students should be in a position to answer questions themselves by using prior knowledge, personal experience, research, etc. Technology can be used to aid in student research and provide images for understanding. #PSTPLN #CEP416

@SKIOLOGY_ @swati1201 Hi Tristen! I think it's a great idea to keep in touch with education professors. They provide such great resources and ideas, and could only continue to do so once we graduate! #PSTPLN #cep416

@MissKornatowski Hi Marissa! I agree that promoting your personal pages is an important step in growing your PLN. It should also help you find other pages that you may be interested in! #CEP416 #PSTPLN

[Julia Kurth @KurthMs]

@swati1201 A2: Hi, I'm Julia! An important part of growing your PLN is being open to and interested in learning about the teaching practices of others. This can be done in person and online, and we all should recognize that there might not be one "best way" to do something. #PSTPLN #CEP416

[Julia Kurth @KurthMs]

@MsLis_MSU Hi Alyssa! I agree that it's important that we listen to students. What platforms can we use to encourage students to share their needs? Should these needs be shared explicitly, implicitly, or both? #cep416 #PSTPLN

[Julia Kurth @KurthMs]

A1: I'm Julia and I'm a senior at MSU. Making your interest in students' personal lives known can provide insight about student interests and abilities. This can be done by attending sporting events, plays and other extracurricular activities. #PSTPLN #cep416

@CaswellBethany @swati1201 Hi Bethany! I agree that keeping an open line of communication is extremely important. The more we know about our students' needs and interests, the more we'll be able to tailor our instruction for those individuals. #PSTPLN #cep416
