@APchemisMe Fun idea!! I love the prediction part. Thanks for sharing.

@MsTurk_MCSC @AACTconnect I really like this, esp how it clears up some assumptions they use in middle school, thanks for sharing!

🧵 Here's a list of random little things I do as a teacher that actually have weirdly strong impacts on student behavior, engagement, and motivation.

I'd love to hear yours in the comments.

@oconnorlabtcnj In my most recent industry job (late 00’s), we used an electronic lab notebook system. Each entry was shared with a colleague to witness/sign electronically.

I mean 1955!

[Jen Horne @PhotonGrl]

I know it’s not the oldest, but I’ll share my chemistry artifact - my grandfather’s 1953 CRC Handbook. He was a metallurgist. I am loving everyone’s posts! #BestofChemEd

@C19VaxxUpdates Thank you for everything you are doing with this account. I was able to get my appt because of your alerts. We are so looking forward to seeing you & your friends on stage again!

[Jen Horne @PhotonGrl]

@chemhemling Love it! Thanks for sharing how to do this!

[Jen Horne @PhotonGrl]

@AnjanaIyer Just so I'm saying it right in my head when I read your posts... how do you pronounce your name? Thanks!🙂

[Jen Horne @PhotonGrl]

@IBchemmilam That’s great! You have some very thoughtful students. 🙂

[Jen Horne @PhotonGrl]

@johannabrown I just wanted to come back to this and tell you that I gave a survey with many questions inspired by yours... I had a couple students actually THANK me today for the survey. So I thank YOU for sharing & inspiring me to probe a little deeper this year! 🙂

[Jen Horne @PhotonGrl]

@johannabrown This is so inspiring! I would love to go in this direction too. I hope it goes well for you and your Ss!!!

[Jen Horne @PhotonGrl]

@chemhemling I want to use POGIL with breakout rooms too (we have 3 cohorts, so it will be mixed groups of in-person and virtual) - would you mind showing me an example of what you did Melissa? Thanks!!

[Jen Horne @PhotonGrl]

@BarrellOCPS @APchemisMe I don’t know you Samantha, but I feel like I should - you are my Bitmoji twin right down to the outfit!!

[Jen Horne @PhotonGrl]

@aserkin Same thing here! I have been using the rubric feature on G. C. after @chemhemling posted about it - I make detailed categories & directions - then Ss can fix and resubmit. For individual comments, many are the same, so I have a google doc open in another window and copy/paste.

@IBchemmilam Love this! Thank you for sharing!

[Jen Horne @PhotonGrl]

@chemhemling Thank you for sharing these great ideas. I'm making this my New Years resolution!
