Hi everyone! Feel free to share this link https://t.co/CMAVQXI6N4 with colleagues interested in sharing their stories of tech use. We are looking forward to hearing from more educators! #edtech #edtechchat #teachertwitter #edutwitter #teaching #learning #edchat

[Mr. Meiss @Mr__Meiss]

We're conducting a study on teachers' experiences teaching with tech. Go to https://t.co/CMAVQXqvou survey w/options for written or audio responses that will take approx. 15 min. to complete. (At the end, you can decide if you'd like to also participate in an interview.) #edtech

The trouble with punishment (quick summary):

It fails to promote ethical growth, responsibility, or concern for others

It does promote
* concern about not getting caught
* resentment
* belief that power lets one get one's way in life
* a nearly exclusive focus on self-interest

@anna_phd I'm always looking for more. Thank you!

@RyanLawler_ He owns the sweater vest like no one can. Unsure if you have seen this yet, but gyms are on the internet and @hslogoscom has the votes coming in. I haven't seen Hey Hi. There are some pretty sweet gyms.

A6: I want Ss and Ps to know that I'm always there for them. When they need help or support they should know that I want to help make this the most positive process possible. I make sure to unplug each night and take a break. Ts need to take the time to refresh. #1stChat

@mflicek1 Right?! It can be difficult to adjust expectations. Odd and different times call for odd and different expectations.

A4: Phonics concept, reading, writing, and math are nonnegotiable. These are musts. I like more, but need to remain understanding of what each household is able to manage. #1stChat

[Mr. Meiss @Mr__Meiss]

A3: A whiteboard and markers to teach from. Also brought materials for math examples to use for @screencasto #1stchat

[Mr. Meiss @Mr__Meiss]

A2: I organize in Google Drive and have a Doc with a general schedule/checklist/menu for Ss (really Ps). I try to keep everything as simple as possible to accommodate Ps. #1stChat

[Mr. Meiss @Mr__Meiss]

A1: I must get out for a walk each day. I love a little time alone out of the house. If weather does not permit I exercise inside with my children. Which makes it a little more interesting! #1stChat

Greetings from IL! I'm Zach, first grade teacher. I like having the tech to connect with my students and continuing to know them better as people. #1stChat

A4: Relect on what you are dishing onto the Ss plate. Encourage creativity in any form and their endeavors outside of what you teach. #EduGladiators

[Mr. Meiss @Mr__Meiss]

A3: Be mindful of how your Ss are doing as a whole person and not just a Ss. Set aside some time to just talk and connect. #edugladiators

[Mr. Meiss @Mr__Meiss]

A2: Help make the work as manageable and simple as possible. Refrain from setting expectations that were not set during the time at school. Enjoy the time on video w/Ss and throw in some games to play w/small or whole groups. #edugladiators

[Mr. Meiss @Mr__Meiss]

A1: Care for Ss and the well being of them and their family rather than being on them about what they have or have not completed #edugladiators

Greetings from IL #edugladiators ! I'm Zach, a first grade teacher.

[Mr. Meiss @Mr__Meiss]

@mflicek1 Wonderful! Thank you for the ideas! All are great, the show and tell reminds me to get back to knowing them for more than just students.

[Mr. Meiss @Mr__Meiss]

Any ideas for games to play with groups of Ss in video conferences? Looking for something fresh. I teach first but am open to ideas from any grade level.#1stchat #kindergarten #2ndchat #edchat #distancelearning #remotelearning #education #edutwitter #PrimaryRocks

A productive struggle surrounded by a supportive teacher that boosts their confidence into an identity of being able to do anything. #elemmathchat
