It's easy to use tech rotations to get extra planning time, however even during these times teachers should remain engaged with the students whether they are leading station or checking in on students and observing their learning. @Catlin_Tucker@tsschmidty
The goal is not to eliminate mistakes when integrating blended learning and the online environment, but to "fail-forward" and learn from our (and our students') mistakes. @Catlin_Tucker@tsschmidty
When transforming the way we teach, we MUST involve stakeholders in the process - including, and most importantly, parents. #IES451Chat@tsschmidty@Catlin_Tucker
@tsschmidty@ChapmanU Innovation & creativity spark more of it, engage students, create lifelong learners, & students actually LEARN the content rather than memorizing & regurgitating it. They learn skills they can apply to their lives.

Standards are not the most important. We have to captivate our students' attention, help them with performance tasks, and the standards will eventually be met. Attention before standards. https://t.co/LfSYRz5oZP #PBL#designthinking#IES451Chat@tsschmidty@ajjuliani
@tsschmidty@ChapmanU Technology allows teachers and students to focus on what students CAN do with tech assistance, rather than what students can’t do. It allows us to focus on strengthening their superpowers rather than wallowing in their inability. #IES451Chat
@tsschmidty @Flipgrid @ChapmanU Using @flipgrid in classrooms for low-stakes assignments can get students comfortable with recording themselves speaking in order to prepare them for the tests they will take later on and reduce the fear associated with these tests early on. #IES451Chat#flipgrid4ELs
@tsschmidty Using videos to introduce history lessons or an interview with an author to introduce a book. @TheCrashCourse gives a lot of information in a short time allowing students to receive a thorough overview of a topic before they begin the lesson. #IES451Chat@ChapmanU@tsschmidty
"Throughout your life there will be times when the world gets quiet & the only thing left is the beat of your own heart. So you’d better learn the sound of it, otherwise you’ll never understand what it’s telling you." @marcandangel@tsschmidty#IES451Chat https://t.co/K6SzuT9Qer
Love these video updates for each grade to share what they are learning with the community. My middle school did something similar for homeroom announcements and everyone loved it! https://t.co/qJFGyzRa4R

@tsschmidty@ChapmanU For college students, social media can be a beneficial resource & way to engage students in a world they are already masters at since it increases engagement & collaboration. #IES451@ChapmanU@tsschmidty
