@NVradenburg @SteveWyborney @EasyblogDotOrg Thanks! I need to do more video posts! Fun to see your students work.

A8 My favorite costumes are those inspired by characters in books, life, or movies. Home created and encourage guessing games. #satchatwc

@SteveWyborney @ClassDojo @Seesaw @NVradenburg Also, much of the communication is not shared publicly on the blog.Thanks for the connection.

A5- In year 2 of my new job as EL teacher, I love that I have the same Ss and families over years. Relationships over time. #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

@SteveWyborney @ClassDojo @Seesaw Not as much interaction as I'd like yet, but it's growing. My class: https://t.co/TOZutLp7Se #satchatwc

A4 Also re communication, photos & videos of kids engaged in learning don't need translation & spark conversations between S & P. #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

@APKRentz Only two right now. Good point. This would be much harder in a multilingual community. #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

@SteveWyborney Two main issues parents care about. I added @classdojo this year to balance both. Using @seesaw for learning. #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

A4: Seems basic, but translate everything into the home language for parents. Also, I added calendar & mailbox outside my room. #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

@edu_taraw One problem is Ts use apps for different purposes. Do I want to communicate about events, S work or behavior etc? #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

@teachjanderson @BloomzApp I'll have to do some research. Does it replace the other, or give access to all? #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

@PrincipalSmart @Seesaw I have K-6 in my ELs. One thing I love is that siblings & friends at other grades can comment on work. #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

A2 - a Q: Anyone else struggling w/ too many tech options? Different Ts using different tools, overwhelming parents? #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

A2 My favorite progress reporting tool is the online portfolio, I'm using Seesaw. I only wish all of my parents had access. #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

@APKRentz @brianrozinsky Oh no, they have disappointed me in the past. It's like Smarties are pretending to be M & Ms. #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

@brianrozinsky English Smarties (not very good chocolate in my opinion) or the tiny sugar ones I keep in my prize box for me. #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

Good morning. My favorite treat is always chocolate. Hershey's special dark. Also answering the door to all those cute monsters. #satchatwc

[Michelle Davies @LovesSummerSun]

A6: I will take the risk, for my own growth, when it involves strongly held beliefs/values, incorporates things I love. #satchatwc
