Meet-and-greet break at #SXSOmaha. We're proud to be hosting 150 young-and-beginning (and future) producers.

Future Golden Hawk! He'll be heading to school before we know it! #mphawks

[Mrs. Hammen @MrsHammen]

The sun is shining and we're ready to dig in the dirt! Today we are getting the raised beds ready for plants.

Math and reading lessons don't have to happen with traditional books! These boys put together the garden tiller all on their own by reading the direction booklet!

While most of the community is freezing under snow and ice, we're dreaming of spring at West! Students planted the first seeds for our hydroponics garden system this week! #mphawks #seeforyourself #seethestars #mpwestgarden

These students asked to use their earned Friday Free Time for a book club in my room. So cool! I absolutely support their idea and can't wait to see what they come up with! #mphawks #seeforyourself #seethestars #readforjoy

The school garden got some fresh mulch today! It is looking great and the plants the kids started this spring are doing well! #mphawks #seeforyourself #seethestars #mpwestgarden

PLN Ch.11- Giving students quick feedback is super easy using the Google Platform. When students use Docs to write, I can leave comments while grading and we can discuss later. #EDUC522

[Mrs. Hammen @MrsHammen]

PLN Ch.10- Assistive tech in the general education classroom can consist of iPads used by all students. Students can use various apps to help them with lessons. #EDUC522

[Mrs. Hammen @MrsHammen]

PLN Ch.9- Providing students freedom in a lesson is an amazing thing for a teacher to do! Students have the potential to be creative, innovative & passionate about things they want to learn. Google Slides is a way to give students freedom to express their knowledge #EDUC522

[Mrs. Hammen @MrsHammen]

PLN Ch.8- Social media use in the classroom is an excellent way to share your story. I love using Twitter to show our community all the wonderful things we are doing in the classroom. It's quick, simple and reaches a lot of people! #EDUC522

[Mrs. Hammen @MrsHammen]

PLN Ch.7- Game based learning is particularly helpful in math. Students need to memorize basic facts but that work can be boring! Games provide them a chance to learn the facts while playing and interacting with peers. #EDUC522

[Mrs. Hammen @MrsHammen]

PLN Ch.6- Online education has come to the forefront of the minds of all educators while we deal with Covid19. It has been a learning curve but we have found technology to be an absolute lifeline during these uncertain times. #EDUC522

[Mrs. Hammen @MrsHammen]

PLN Ch.5- Digital Citizenship can be easily taught in the moment. For example, when showing students how to gather research for a project, we can remind them how to make a safe search and not distribute personal information. #EDUC522

[Mrs. Hammen @MrsHammen]

PLN Ch.4- Technology can be "overused". I have found that simple lesson can be just as effective as lessons with the latest and greatest tech. For example, students building a garden bench by reading the directions provided, not going to youtube for directions :) #EDUC522

[Mrs. Hammen @MrsHammen]

PLN Ch.3- Students can express their creativity in a multitude of ways with technology. One way I have done this is by having students design garden plans for our school garden layouts with google slides/drawings. #EDUC522

[Mrs. Hammen @MrsHammen]

PLN Ch.2- Technology can be a huge asset to the classroom but it does not replace building relationships with kids. Teachers must still take time to sit down and communicate with their students before any instruction can happen. #EDUC522
