@rosenbergerkm @desertjul I find that I created one platform just for PLCs. I use Twitter and that way the majority of the feed is on track for just what I am wanting to learn about.
@emilyfranESL@JessicaBrody I’m going to give it a shot even though I will be moving this summer. Are you providing a reading list or are we using our own personal lists?
@KatieToppel I think it has good potential. I really like the way you model how to make the sounds and show where your tongues goes in the mouth. Just like with any program, it is in the application provided by the teacher.
This so relevant to my current thoughts. I’m not sure when I started channeling that I need to be good at everything I do. But there are things that I do find joy in that I don’t have to be good at. Thanks for the reminder.
“I’m no good at drawing.”
I hear this a lot. About drawing, painting, writing poetry, taking pictures.
But “good” is subjective, and also misses the point.
Does drawing bring you joy? Does painting calm your mind? Does writing poetry leave you fulfilled?
THAT’s why you do it.
Please stop using “I can” statements as learning targets & success criteria. Please use “We are learning to..” WALT and WILL (what it looks like) instead.
Need to think about #SEL & mental health impact for Ss who “can’t”. WALT & WILL accomplish learning goal w/out negatives.
Here's another quote from a new article I'm writing:
"If learning requires us to abandon our language to pick up another one, then we have just learned who are the colonizers and are colonized."

Windows and mirrors are so important. In addition teachers need to know the titles of great diverse books and then have a way to access them for their classroom.
The Polypad from @MathigonOrg is a free collection of digital manipulatives including fraction tiles, number lines, number tiles, polygons, algebra tiles, playing cards, and many more! Endless options for student use and sharing thinking with these tools. https://t.co/q1TZo4zEYe
