@Ali_Lynn1979 Totally agree! Evaluating the credibility of information online and on social media will be one of the most important skills our students EVER learn! #MASSPMod4

@BethShaum Thanks for sharing, just viewed this from afar! ESSENTIALISM was a game-changer for me. Great session topic.

Woke up to the news of @NealShusterman's National Book Award win for CHALLENGER DEEP. Awesome!

@KevinMEnglish @StacyCPorzondek You should do Genius Hour, and then your project can be learning to knit your own!

[Sara Staten @SaraStaten]

@KevinMEnglish Ha! I was just there yesterday. Learned to sew last tri for my own Genius Hour project. 👍

@mcnairan3 @JoyKirr Me, too! Sometimes also a mini-lesson. Planning to use video for mini-lessons this term so Ss can access when ready.

[Sara Staten @SaraStaten]

Trying out Google Classroom this term. Makes the most sense for a GAFE school, but I'm hoping Google adds threaded discussion soon! #edtech

@jandynelson I finished the rest of it yesterday! Just incredible. Can't wait to share this with my students.

[Sara Staten @SaraStaten]

@jenniferward 9th & 10th graders, and YES! That would be awesome. I will DM you contact info. :)

[Sara Staten @SaraStaten]

@jenniferward I'm also headed into my 2nd round of #20Time projects, thinking about what to change, & found your reflection helpful. Thanks!

[Sara Staten @SaraStaten]

@wmchamberlain @blocht574 So true! And veteran teachers need mentors, too. Everyone benefits from coaching!
