@TluttT @PrinceEa When I was in school, the focus education had on making "good grades" made me focus on the same. I valued memorization over learning, and have had a hard time switching my mindset to the opposite. You are completely right: no score defines the potential of a student. #EEC301S19

[Erin Ayres @MsAyresCares]

@devinmmoseley @PrinceEa Yes! Every student has potential, and teachers can help them realize that so they will succeed even further. #EEC301S19

[Erin Ayres @MsAyresCares]

@namies_learners @PrinceEa I agree, education is more than memorization! You can memorize something and not completely understand the concept. Learning is the better alternative to memorization! #EEC301S19

[Erin Ayres @MsAyresCares]

Although I do believe that it is important for students to be exposed to different areas of academics, I also believe that true learning is the purpose of going to school. Incorporating creative, fun ways for students to learn content is the way to go! #EEC301S19 @PrinceEa

@LaurenWeller5 I have recently realized that Twitter does offer a lot of educational ideas for educators to use and implement! Using this platform will be extremely helpful now and in the future as we prepare to become educators and when we are educators. #EEC301S19

@MsWilsonTeach I can see how Twitter would be super easy for families to connect with the classroom. They can look at pictures of their children in the classroom which could start a great conversation between families and their children. #EEC301S19

[Erin Ayres @MsAyresCares]

@A_StilesTeach Forming and maintaining relationships with your students and their families are so important! They will be more comfortable with talking to you, be more involved in school, and your students will become more successful overall! #EEC301S19

[Erin Ayres @MsAyresCares]

@MsSheltonTeach Those are both really good ideas! Connecting with the community through Twitter could encourage the families following you to engage with the community as well. #EEC301S19

[Erin Ayres @MsAyresCares]

@MsStoneTeach Yes! It is so important for educators to be informed about other cultures to prevent misunderstandings and also gain different perspectives. #EEC301S19

[Erin Ayres @MsAyresCares]

@TeachDixon I agree, Twitter is a great platform to learn from our fellow educators as well as share with others what we learn! #EEC301S19

[Erin Ayres @MsAyresCares]

A2: I can use Twitter to keep parents and guardians up to date on the classroom news, remind them of upcoming due dates, share helpful tips with families, share pictures of my students learning, and to be aware of and share community events. #EEC301S19

[Erin Ayres @MsAyresCares]

A3: From Chapter 3, I learned how much of an impact teachers can have on their students. Students’ motivation to learn stems from the relationship they have with their teachers. It’s so important for educators to connect with students and be their encouragers! #EEC301S19

[Erin Ayres @MsAyresCares]

A1: Connecting with other educators through Twitter will allow us to discover and share useful strategies, quotes that encourage self-reflection, and much more so that our students will have a desire to learn that reaches beyond the classroom. #EEC301S19

[Erin Ayres @MsAyresCares]

The "thumbs up" strategy is a subtle signal that replaces hand raising and in turn encourages participation. #EEC301S19

[Center for Whole-Child Education @Turnaround]

This quick “thumbs-up” strategy encourages all students to participate in classroom discussion. @DrPamelaCantor shares how this simple practice accommodates students different processing needs. Watch #HowLearningHappens by @Edutopia.
