Hey y’all. It’s been a minute since we’ve talked. I’m just going to leave this right here. Tell us what you think! #MasonEdChat. Quote retweet with your answer!

I am intentionally creating more personalized learning opportunities for students. I’m also trying to put my own spin on new curriculum since I changed grade levels this year. #changeisgood #masonedchat

[Shawna Parkinson @ParkinsonLearns]

Students are sharing stories regarding their interests and character building experiences through our class blogs. Applies to the college essay, job interviews and our study of rhetoric. #MasonEdChat

[Barb Shuba @shubab]

I am focusing on feedback this year. Providing them multiple options for feedback on their learning and difference maker skills like collaboration and problem solving. And then asking students what type of feedback they want to make them a better learner.

[Harkness for 30 @JASauer]

1) Daily quick retrieval and metacognitive activities.
2) Use QFT to introduce unit objectives.
3) Student-written assessments.
4) Weekly culture-building themes.
5) Focus on culturally competent communication.
6) Continue interleaving and spacing topics through DBL.

Mason crew and educator friends... be sure to follow the mysterious @MasonEdChat
It seems they will be hosting a never ending #MasonEdChat to connect our district and promote the exchange of ideas. Participate anywhere and anytime.

[Mason Rocks @MasonEdChat]

I think we saw this in action today, actually.

[Sarah Boselovic @SarahBoselovic]

Letting my students think naturally without interrupting the process during brainstorming. #MasonEdChat

[Kasi Hockensmith @I_speak_ESL]

@MasonEdChat More “intentional” partnering. I sometimes allow student-choice of grouping & I will also choose random groups via pulling sticks, etc., but I want to intentionally partner more kids this year. I am seeing more “lonely” behaviors and I want to address that head on.
