Something that I would definitely like to get better at doing. Showing students nonverbals instead of stopping instruction.

@teacher2teacher As a high school teacher I give students a 2 minute break halfway through class for them to get up, stretch, talk with someone. Helps them regain focus for the rest of the class period.

Heading to the Avid summer institute and came across this article by their open access program. Good read on cultivating curiosity. #SMU622

#SMU622 need more computer science classes in our schools to prepare for the increasing demand!

#SMU622 cool warm up activity for a math lesson

[James Tanton @jamestanton]

Is it possible to arrange the number 1, 2, ... ,10 in the boxes shown in such a way to respect the inequalities shown between neighbors?
(Not all patterns of inequalities lead to solvable puzzles. Possible to classify which do?)

[Grant Moris @MrMorisTweets]

#SMU622 great visual for learning!

[Grant Moris @MrMorisTweets]

#SMU622 start of the school year ideas that I found interesting!

#SMU622 Found this resource for helping students find quality information online. https://t.co/uuVoi00kZW

[Grant Moris @MrMorisTweets]

@smolso21 Absolutely! Always a great reminder for us and for our students to approach each activity/day with a growth mindset.

[Grant Moris @MrMorisTweets]

Great podcast from TheBalance with guest speaker Jay McTighe talking about depth of knowledge. Having read Understanding by Design it was a great follow up listen. #SMU622

[Dr. Catlin Tucker @Catlin_Tucker]

What's the point of racing through curriculum if students don't understand or retain any of it?

Check out my conversation w/@jaymctighe about reimagining our approach w/deeper learning in mind!

#SMU622. Very cool hands on activity! Could see this type of project becoming interdisciplinary.

#SMU622 “Not built on equality, but on equivalence.” A interesting read about taking out the equal sign.

[Quanta Magazine @QuantaMagazine]

The equal sign forms the bedrock of mathematics. Some mathematicians think it needs to be replaced. (From 2019) https://t.co/Me2bi4fMMB

[Grant Moris @MrMorisTweets]

@TeacherTom47 Those are great ways to connect with the students. I really like how the article talked about helping students realize the math in their lives. “It’s not just a silo.”

[Grant Moris @MrMorisTweets]

@TylerGebhart A healthy classroom culture can really transform our students! Getting everyone to know each other and creating purposeful interactions will lead to better engagement.

[Grant Moris @MrMorisTweets]

@mxbara21 Absolutely! That visual awareness is such an important skill and can be useful in many different fields.

[Grant Moris @MrMorisTweets]

@ekflemingo Erin this reminds me of the SAMR model especially the modification and redefinition aspects.

[Grant Moris @MrMorisTweets]

Quick read on ways to implement technology into class. Getting student input seems really important! #SMU622 https://t.co/I5A6hjCY6A

[Grant Moris @MrMorisTweets]

#SMU622 “Two Things” seems like a great approach to break up any lesson. Will have to try it out next year!
