@MrsRhodenIn1st @MrRoss6th @quizizz Blooket!! My students LOVE it!

[Tate Midkiff @MissTateMidkiff]

@MrsRhodenIn1st That's awesome!! It's great for all ages and grade levels too!

I used Storyline Online everyday in summer school! A fun way to break up a reading block and encourage reading! https://t.co/552Oi8GkEy #ParkEdTech

Here is the rough draft of my communication plan. Thank you in advance for any comments/suggestions! https://t.co/28mtCZlCkv ParkEdTech

Another true and powerful statement. So many times the "assessment" is the focus, rather than the "learning." #ParkEdTech

[Tate Midkiff @MissTateMidkiff]

Surprising to say the least!

@Lauran_spier Waiting use to be my weakness. One thing I do is talk with them about their scores or grades and ask them how they can stay motivated to work hard. I've noticed if they "come up" with the idea on their own, they are more likely to stay on task.

Unit 1 Assignment-the "Ah-ha's"
1. Good ideas, like learning, develop over time.
2. Students exhibit deeper understanding (agency) when they persevere, and overcome a challenge. Just having the skills to do so isn't enough.

@OmarBennettJr1 Pen and paper is a great thing to keep near by! I have my students jot down notes or ideas when we read. I did this more with science, but I'm sure it can work with all subjects.

[Tate Midkiff @MissTateMidkiff]

@SarahCo9318 Very true!!! My first year of teaching, I was really bad about jumping in first thing, but now I'm better about giving students time to think and solve on their own.

[Tate Midkiff @MissTateMidkiff]

@MrsRhodenIn1st Yes it does!!

@birnell_mw I like to have students work in groups and talk with classmates. I always try to connect content with things they like. Technology and movement is another way I encourage learning and understanding.

[Tate Midkiff @MissTateMidkiff]

@MrsRhodenIn1st During instruction, I like to have students work in groups as much as possible. It seems when they can talk it out with their peers, they don't feel alone or get discouraged as easily.

[Tate Midkiff @MissTateMidkiff]

@MikeDoney74 Yes it is!

[Tate Midkiff @MissTateMidkiff]

@MrsRhodenIn1st @GoNoodle @YouTube Go Noodle is so fun! Thanks for the video!

[Tate Midkiff @MissTateMidkiff]

@MrRoss6th I agree! I feel like some of the best teaching moments are the ones you didn't expect!

[Tate Midkiff @MissTateMidkiff]

@MrRoss6th I feel like that's a major point to be made. I agree with the point you made about good ideas need to be perfected.

[Tate Midkiff @MissTateMidkiff]

@TraceyKracht Honestly, I haven't thought of it in that way, but it makes sense. It's definitely worth considering.
