First day of year 7 out of the way and started out with a newly renovated space. Thanks to all that helped, especially our maintenance guys 👍

Hi everyone! My district is looking for a FT candidate as a Tech Ed/Metalworking teacher within our high school @swhsmustangs. The position would start early Jan. We have an amazing program worth checking out! If interested get in touch with @DanHartman1029

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

Yes, yes, yes! Our society needs more students going into the trades. I love giving students the opportunity to experience some of the trades within my classroom each day. @jennyktechin #swexcellence #teched

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

This! 🙌

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

@jennyktechin Awesome! Thanks so much!

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

@jennyktechin @wakelet I'll have to check that out!!

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

@SLMarshall11 @jennyktechin He's a thought! If you take a bunch of classroom pics and stay active with posting them on IG, you could use that as Danielson Domain Evidence for your end of year eval! You get a 2 for 1!

@jennyktechin A4: Continue growing my PLN on Twitter & become connected with more STEM & TE teachers. I want to use Twitter to connect with those individuals more and also share my own creations, ideas, & happenings within my own classroom. #edu929chat

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

@jennyktechin A3: Probably @burgessdave. He turned me on to the book “Fully Engaged” which I ordered & is on it’s way! Can’t wait to read about different ideas/perspectives on student engagement within the classroom #edu929chat

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

@TaylorElaine34 X2!!!!! Never knew it was a thing! Makes things really easy to stay organized and follow along!

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

@ThatMrKing @jennyktechin YES! This is so true! I think that once we all have a nice established PLN, we can get some great ideas coming our way!

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

@jennyktechin A2: What a twitter chat is, how to participate, using a hashtag to link my tweets to a category & utilize hashtags to search topics & tweets. Being part of a PLN... You can ask so many people for ideas, but you must be open to helping when others are in need. #edu929chat

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

@jennyktechin I have yet to take the plunge into TikTok but I am thinking that may happen sooner than later! Everyone is making it sound so enticing!

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

@jennyktechin A1 I use Twitter and Facebook for my professional life. Twitter offers so many ways for me as a TE teacher to connect with others in my field and take part in Twitter Chats. I gained a lot of useful ideas from Twitter over the past few weeks using it. #edu929chat

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

@Ms_Jaye3 @jennyktechin That's so exciting! Good luck :)

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

@Ms_Jaye3 @jennyktechin In-service starts for us tomorrow! Summer went wayyyyy too quick :( but I'm excited for a new year!

[Tom Nikolaus @NikolausTechEd]

First day of school like:

Crazy how this is the last (partial) week of summer before school starts! That was one of the fastest summers I’ve been through. @jennyktechin
