Tip Tuesday! Playing a YouTube video for your class? Those at the back of the room might have a hard time seeing the captions. You can drag the captions to the top of the screen and press + on your keyboard to increase the text size.

@DrBradJohnson @KEScougars1 Continuing to struggle with the use of the word "grace." Teachers need support,respect,and time to teach. Educators get hung up on catchy phrases...it's time to cut thru that "stuff"! #sayitlikeitis

It is imperative that students develop awareness of the ways race impacts our lives and society. This is not a supplemental, nice-to-have skill. It is an important, change-the-worldview skill. @hechingerreport https://t.co/suAghqtIcn

Tip Tuesday! Change the theme in Gmail so that your personal and school accounts look different. This might keep you from sending an email from the wrong account.

In Gmail, go to ⚙️ → See all settings → Themes → Set theme.

Social Emotional Learning #SEL

I integrate @GoogleForEdu to check-in with my students daily + do a stress level check @PearDeck https://t.co/DQ4RXukS3R #edtech #teachbetter #mondaythoughts

I use the data to drive instruction + better serve the needs of ALL of my students!

Diversity in gifted programs is possible if testing is truly equitable, takes place during school, offered to all students, and students are measured against their peers. https://t.co/eSoSVFCGTs

Morning Greeting 101 😀👦👋🛼🕺👏☑️
I post this graphic outside of my room + students choose how they want to greet me.
It's a wonderful opportunity to connect with each student individually.

[Laura @technologylaura]

I start every class with a daily check-in! #edtech

Why? Social Emotional Learning matters & I can best serve the needs of ALL students by knowing how they’re doing. Plus, emojis seem to work with #middleschool

This story isn’t pretty but it’s real. The past school year took a toll on so many in public education, including superintendents. Important reminder: our children are watching, listening and learning. @AASAHQ @chiefsforchange @natsupers @wasa_oly

You can add a drop shadow to shapes and other objects. There’s a drop shadow checkbox in Form Options panel.

Learn about drop shadows and practice them in the Heart Felt Animals Shapegram: https://t.co/xTsuMPcA6n
