Friday was my first day back to work and I've already used some of my #TPACKatNCCAT strategies. 4 C's puzzle activity and #flipgrid classroom introductions! #ejoyce_unc #leslid05 #katiekjohnson #PtownPride #NCCAT #AndreaPetiferED

🙏 Virtual high five to @MsHood_5!! My table mate and Google Extension buddy!! #TPACKatNCCAT #nccat #NCCAT4Cs

Teacher tip: TPACK and SAMR are not exclusive. They both need each other. SAMR = engaging lessons/TPACK model = effective learning #TPACKatNCCAT

[Shani Thompson @MsThompsonGr3]

A good teacher uses the 4 C's to instill real life skills in students (Collaboration, Critical thinking, Creativity, and Communication) #TPACKatNCCAT

The standards, tasks or directions we use contain a verb (cognitive domain) and a noun (knowledge domain). Need to break it down into it's parts to zone it. #bloomstaxonomy @educonsultfirm @edukevi @dutchessmaye

[Shani Thompson @MsThompsonGr3]

Blooms Taxonomy should not be prefilled...you need to full it out! @educonsultfirm @edukevi @dutchessmaye

[Shani Thompson @MsThompsonGr3]

Two types of evaluation: students evaluate their own work and judgements/critiquing. @educonsultfirm @edukevi @dutchessmaye

[Shani Thompson @MsThompsonGr3]

Teacher efficacy (a teachers belief about their practice) must happen before rigor. @educonsultfirm @edukevi @dutchessmaye

[Shani Thompson @MsThompsonGr3]

Non-linguistic representations are a great way for students to show what they know about a concept. @educonsultfirm @edukevi @dutchessmaye

Love is louder. Even if hate has a bullhorn, love is louder. Time to be loud, people.

Love. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love.
