We Miss Our PHamily! As we adjust to our new normal for now, PHamily members express positive attitudes and a longing to see our students. Remember that even though we're not physically together, we're always here to support you! #PHamily#uniPHied#weareone#strongertogether
The biggest difference between mathematicians and non-mathematicians is that non-mathematicians think that counting is easy and calculus is hard but mathematicians know it's the other way around.
Would love to spread the word and help other teachers....sponsor a teacher or help to #clearthelists.
If you have a list on @amazon comment below in hopes that we can clear our list for the new school year. Retweet so we can help each other #bettertogether
Removing electronic devices from the classroom today does not prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow.
Removing discovery, inquiry and problem solving skills today does not prepare students for the jobs of tomorrow.
The jobs of tomorrow will be full of distractions. #onted
A4 I want my digital footprint to say that I am a fun-loving wife and doggy mom who loves to run and cares deeply about both education and my students #hcpsethics
Q5 When using public platforms, I feel we have a responsibility to conduct ourselves digitally in the same manner that we would in the classroom. Personally, I would extend that to private platforms as well. It may not be fair, but it's kind of what we signed up for #hcpsethics
A2 Modeling digital literacy involves understanding the programs and apps that you use, including what information is shared and who it is shared with. Posts should be tailored accordingly. Don't mix personal with professional! #hcpsethics
A1 I think it's important to ask ourselves, "Is this life giving? Will this add to someone's quality of life? Will this make someone happy or inspire them?" If the answer is no, maybe rethink the communication.
#NT2t A5: what is valid for students is true for colleagues too I find. Celebrating achievements and focusing on the positive developments are vital. I wish there was more of that from school leaders. My goal: Compliment a fellow teacher every day!
A4: with standards based assessment, it’s so important to provide #students with feedback (timely & regular). My goal will be to ensure that this takes place so all Ss can be successful. #NT2t
A6: For me Twitter is the best way to learn - so many amazing people I can learn from, so many opportunities for dive in new topics, chances to meet great educators to form an inspiring #PLN. Thank you Twitter! #nt2t
Risk is an important factor in teaching, without it we can easily get into a rut of monotonous behavior. I would rather over extend myself to become great for my students, than play it safe and become a forgotten footnote. #DitchThatFear
When we ask students to innovate, we ask them to be vulnerable... with their ideas & their voice. A classroom environment that nurtures courage, nurtures innovation. #STEM#innovation#empoweredlearning#Edvolve
Empowering students to work at their own pace improves academic achievement and has an even greater impact on student anxiety and confidence. Check out my piece in @EdWeekTeacher and @NextGenLC on the powers of self-pacing. https://t.co/pUh46oJwtt
