#googleclassroom tip:
Use tool emojis to indicate assignments that need revising/fixing. What emojis do you use and what do they mean? #emojisforeducation #edtech

Organizing your #GoogleClassroom is important to making it easier for students to navigate. This is one way to organize your virtual space. How will you organize your topics and assignments? #edtech #distancelearning2020 #GSuiteEDU #TeacherTechWA https://t.co/pTAEetJyvy

#DistanceLearning tip: Decrease the cognitive demand of reading the directions by using emojis as icons for your assignment instructions. Use the same emojis to keep consistency and routine. Make instructions short, clear, and in list form. #edtech #GoogleClassroom #Chromebooks

@alicekeeler One way to hold students accountable for attendance and engagement is to use @PearDeck . I ran my slides with embedded questions and checks for understanding throughout the live session. It shows who hasn't responded so you can address the inactivity on the spot.

@KristyJacob26 @DrMNikfar I used Kami for math. It integrates well with GClassroom. It is very intuitive to simply touch to draw, like paper. If students have a stylus it's even better. You can write/type feedback and the S can view it, make changes, then you can see it. It might even be in real time.

@larkscience @scmaestra Also, I don't want to waste the precious few PD days before school starts doing icebreakers. Let's get right into how we are going to get better at distance learning.

@newsladykatie I'm a parent and a teacher. We did a survey back in June and the results showed a positive interest in going back full-time. Now with rising case numbers and better knowledge of what the 3 proposed models would look like, I think parents would respond very differently.

@KatieNedved Yep! She's my daughter. Thanks for all you do!

@TeacherLillie @PearDeck Great idea!

@TeacherLillie @PearDeck It's pretty cool. I posted the first assignment today. I'm excited to see what my students think about it.

@fawnpnguyen @robertkaplinsky I am guilty of using this. During student teaching, I found CUBES on Pinterest and thought it was great. I improved my practice after book studies and PD. Now I use #fosteringMPs 3 reads strategy. https://t.co/MuQm9jM5L4

What makes a task group worthy? This article defines what structures and protocols help to spark curiosity. "By asking your students what they notice and wonder, you’re empowering them to help shape the path of the lesson and to share their voice." #MTBoS https://t.co/d0jGfTvV8Q
