@mpilakow Thank you! It was a fun first time :-).

[Chené W. Olgar @SocSciTeach]

Hi from Tallahassee, Florida! My specialty is African American History.
I support my students with SEL needs by first making sure that I am implementing their accomodations. I maintain open communication & I also let students know they can always take a moment.

@MysterY186 Thank you! I had fun!

[Chené W. Olgar @SocSciTeach]

@STEMslayer Exactly! Sometimes a quiet moment can draw them back in or at least provide some insight.

[Chené W. Olgar @SocSciTeach]

I would reach out to Alex immediately since they are actively disengaged and retreated. I would try to find a moment where I can quietly check-in, but would not call them out in front others.

[Chené W. Olgar @SocSciTeach]

Thanks so much for a great idea, @pandacucho! I already see how I can incorporate this concept into my class. #games4ed

[Chené W. Olgar @SocSciTeach]

6+6=12, but I am glad that Alex got to be the hero in their own story! #games4ed

[Chené W. Olgar @SocSciTeach]

@pandacucho #games4ed I got 12, but I am glad that Alex was able to save me! Sometimes, the students teach us.

Q4: Green! I would help Alex to understand that "he always had the power to go home". #games4ed

[Chené W. Olgar @SocSciTeach]

A3: I would try to understand the Trauma better. The only way that we can help Alex through the world of darkness is to help him be able to defeat what is blocking him from moving forward. #games4ed

[Chené W. Olgar @SocSciTeach]

@pandacucho Ah, the TVA! Always there to help.

[Chené W. Olgar @SocSciTeach]

A2: Other. I would throw Alex's belongings down the portal so that he would at least have something wherever he was headed. I would check to see if any other students were impacted as well. #games4ed

[Chené W. Olgar @SocSciTeach]

@mpilakow I needed that!

[Chené W. Olgar @SocSciTeach]

Sounds like a good chat for #EME5050!

[Chené W. Olgar @SocSciTeach]

What a great way to intergrate art (and possibly digital technology) in helping students to learn about identity! #EME5050

[PBS Teachers @pbsteachers]

Learning about each other’s identities, helps students understand their own biases, as well as build a space of respect and tolerance for all. Learn more about the exercise that educator, Shana V. White, designed to discuss the complexities of identity. https://t.co/I5tt9c5J7B

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

Primary sources bring queer history to life in a way that disrupts the erasure of these stories and affirms students' lived experiences. Consider these resources compiled by Facing History to bring LGBTQ stories to life in your school. #Pride

Using imagery is a great way to use technology to expand the story of people and their communities. #EME5050
