@Melissa93519457 and @BeighleySarah do you think you're younger students would be able to utilize twitter effectively and safely? @JessleenMoss do you think your high school students would enjoy utilizing twitter as part of their writing process?
Students should have skills on #onlinesafety, #CrapDetecting and #EffectiveDigitalCommunication. Twitter could be a great way to have students bounce ideas off one another prior to a larger writing assignment by posting their "working thesis" w/ assignment hashtag. #USDEDUC562

I find that nonfiction sources offer students a great way to initially have students engage critically with texts because they offer facts and opinions and develop an argument. Have you tried using nonfiction in the younger grades? @S_Belzunce @Melissa93519457
@BeighleySarah @Melissa93519457 @S_Belzunce Agreed! I find that you need to have a balance. I often use nonfiction to supplement fictional text (like we read a fictional story on a man struggling with survivor's guilt and I use a NYT article about real life survivors guilt.

@S_Belzunce @Melissa93519457 such as finding the facts and highlighting in blue, the opinions and highlighting in green and finding support for the arguments and highlighting in orange.
@S_Belzunce @Melissa93519457 I find that using really good graphic organizers helps. I also utilize different color highlighters to have them identify different parts as they read. I agree, it is harder! You could try giving them the argument and having them work (to begin) to just identify the other parts.
@Melissa93519457 @S_Belzunce That's great to hear! It is such an important skill. I'm sure that since you are starting them early, by the time they are at the highschool level they will be pros!
To encourage student to be their best possible version of an online educator, they must be engaged with the digital resources! https://t.co/WPJpb4lcZO

Web Literacy is tough for some students! What may be the most challenging is the "code" and "remix" portions of the chart. We need to teach our students these skills before they can succeed and wow us!I agree with you @hellewell_amy navigate and search are super important skills!
Reading is important and inspiring regardless of delivery. We must encourage our students to continue to read utilizing whichever version they excel with! We must continue to teach ourselves new skills and strategies along with them #PowerInChoice#ReadingIsLove#USDEDUC562
