"Make it Monday" Quiche counts as pi(e) right? #teamnorthern @DearOldNorthern @NationNorthern

Getting students thinking about being a part of a positive chain reaction @DearOldNorthern. Student made a link for a positive influence they could make today and another link for a goal for a positive influence that they will complete this year.

I flipflop on whether it's better to flip lessons that are tough vs easy for students. Flipping easy lessons makes reteaching easier when students do not/cannot access the content, but flipping hard lessons lets students access info mult.-times at home.#pennlit15 #flippedlearning

[Rebecca @RMyers0314]

#pennlit15 Is it better to flip a lesson that has been historically difficult or historically easy for students to master?

I just looked into it. While the extension is free, the full service is prescription. :(

I do actually use LaTeX and love it! But I can't imagine teaching my kids the coding for that on top of teaching them the math, especially if the kids are not looking to go into a math related field after high school....maybe with my high level kids

[MrsPomeroyMath @MrsPomeroyMath]

@RMyers0613 I don't know much about it, but some of the online math courses for high school kids require the students to use LaTex. So that might be something to look into.

@areardon Thanks

[Rebecca @RMyers0314]

Anyone know of any tools that will easily allow my students to use mathematical symbols? Can that be done in google forms? #pennlit15

[MrsPomeroyMath @MrsPomeroyMath]

@jmcusano I'd like to explore possibilities for how students might share their mathematical thinking with others (through Google Keep or other tools). #PennLit15

[Rebecca @RMyers0314]

Definitely a fitting place to use the Common Sense site!

[Rebecca @RMyers0314]

For me, every time I try an online assessment with my kids, they cringe. I don't know if it is because of the negative experiences they have had with state tests, or if it is just the nature of a math course. Kids need to write to process math.

[Rebecca @RMyers0314]

You really haven't had the "freeloader" experience with slide presentations? This surprises me. #pennlit15

[Rebecca @RMyers0314]

@NewtonSci @areardon What? I didn't think spotify would pass through the filter at school. Good to know!

[Rebecca @RMyers0314]

Instant gratification is a great thing #pennlit15

I think technology inspires learning the best when there is some form of inquiry driving the learning. Also, it can be effective for providing immediate feedback in real time which is extremely helpful for both teacher and student. #PennLit15

[Rebecca @RMyers0314]

I totally agree with teacher engagement being part of the equation, but in every aspect of what and how we teach - not just the technology component.

[Rebecca @RMyers0314]

Thank you for the guidance on this feature.

Technology should be used where it is appropriate to enhance student learning. It should not be thrown into a lesson only for technology's sake. #pennlit15

[Rebecca @RMyers0314]

Do we need to resubmit what we've already sent via a reply? #pennlit15

[Rebecca @RMyers0314]

@NewtonSci @jmcusano ...or not being on their cell phone blatantly in front of everyone #pennlit15

[Rebecca @RMyers0314]

@NewtonSci @EckertEnglish is this jenn?
