Children will forget what you said, forget what you did, but will never forget how you made them feel!

@JBoellWorker @eischools @NewsdayHSsports @SectXISuffolk Did East Islip win?!

I loved using Canva to create posters that I can use with my students. I think my students would also enjoy using Canva to create projects! #MolloySEL

@LarrySaperstein @ABCNetwork So, I just watched the sing along with my two sons and recognized you right away. Hope you are well!! Wow... I knew you were going places back in elementary school! Congrats to you!!! I am so proud of you!!!

[Leighann Ruggiero @LRuggiero221]

@MrsJessicaRyan Thank you!

[Leighann Ruggiero @LRuggiero221]

@JamieCorrao2 @MrsJessicaRyan Try Padlet... so user friendly and my student LOVE it! I explain it as a mix between Pinterest (where you post things to a board) and Facebook (where you comment on things). I post thinking prompts for my kids and they get to answer and share ideas.

@JamieCorrao2 @MrsJessicaRyan My district just got 1:1 Chromebooks (they don't go home on my level though) which has created so many opportunities for my students. You are going to LOVE it!

[Leighann Ruggiero @LRuggiero221]

@JamieCorrao2 @MrsJessicaRyan I use Google Drive for lesson plans as well. It makes it so much easier to share and submit to my principal.

[Leighann Ruggiero @LRuggiero221]

Q4: We do lesson plans on Google Drive and share them. We use Pinterest and TPT to find things to brighten up the curriculum. We share Padlets with one another and assign Readworks each week to help with reading comprehension. #brandyourclass @MrsJessicaRyan

[Leighann Ruggiero @LRuggiero221]

@MrsJessicaRyan Yes it is!

[Leighann Ruggiero @LRuggiero221]

Q5: I try to show them what I am doing in my classroom and I share everything I create. I try to encourage them and have even set up accounts for them/their students for them. Many of them are not interested in "reinventing the wheel" #brandyourclass @MrsJessicaRyan

[Leighann Ruggiero @LRuggiero221]

Q6: I think the use of Chromebooks and iPads are the new trend. Students no longer need to use paper and print materials to gather information. Computers are more engaging. Unfortunately, many of my kids don't have access to technology at home. #brandyourclass @MrsJessicaRyan

@JamieCorrao2 @MrsJessicaRyan I am a very visual learner... showing me something is always the best way to go. My colleagues and I always use grade level meetings to show one another new things.

[Leighann Ruggiero @LRuggiero221]

@hilmoss1030 @MrsJessicaRyan I love Teachers Pay Teachers... my colleagues and I use it a lot to grab supplemental material to go along with the TC curriculum that is challenging for our students.

[Leighann Ruggiero @LRuggiero221]

@hilmoss1030 @MrsJessicaRyan Im not sure if my comment came through- I wrote that connecting with family and friends is the only reason I still keep my accounts active. I also find that Facebook is great for recommendations. I have used it many times to ask "mommy questions" when I need something.

[Leighann Ruggiero @LRuggiero221]

Q3: I have a Chromebook cart in my classroom with enough for each of my students to use. We use Google Classroom, Padlet, Readworks, eSpark, Right Path, ABCya, and Prodigy to complete assignments. #brandyourclass @MrsJessicaRyan

[Leighann Ruggiero @LRuggiero221]

Q2: I currently use Facebook and Instagram to communicate with my family/friends. In my classroom, I use Fligrid, Padlet, Google Classroom, Google Drive, and Pinterest to engage and motivate my students. #brandyourclass @MrsJessicaRyan

Q1: My name is Leighann Ruggiero and I have been teaching for 15 years. I have worked in NYC, Islip School District, and I am now a 4th grade ELA teacher in the Amityville School District. #brandyourclass @MrsJessicaRyan

@zaro125 @MrsJessicaRyan I think students would love to do this and share their thoughts and ideas with their peers.

[Leighann Ruggiero @LRuggiero221]

@newalbislander We use google suite as well for planning, instructional, and technological aspects in my building as well!
