@cultofpedagogy with great ideas for “connecting students in a disconnected world,” including useful tips for organizing Breakout Rooms in Meet: https://t.co/wCoHg5mCT1
Fantastic tips for “flexible, resilient” teaching in this year’s environment. Seriously, as always @Angela_Watson has practical advice for approaching the problem. Make sure to read/listen to tips in 2nd half of episode: https://t.co/zjsinQKT8d
@spencerideas has some great tips on when (and why) to use synchronous vs asynchronous instruction as well as tips for managing class discussion in a virtual format: https://t.co/RPRy0p7kOM
There's been a lot of conceptual thinking about teaching online, but not quite enough actual how-to. This fantastic post from @triciaebarvia is definitely the latter: 24 structures for online teaching in a block schedule. Bravo. https://t.co/i9e3GN1rAg
Thanks to the Parkland Education Foundation for purchasing $2800 of books for all schools that explore the history of racism in America, confronts its current state, and address how we can move forward with real change to treat all racial groups as equals.
For those a bit rusty on the lesson planning (ahem...me), a good back to basics reminder. Despite uncertainty, all that changes is the "How": https://t.co/0kW7g35Toy
Always found @Angela_Watson to provide clear, valuable advice for the classroom; now as "new normal" changes every day, she provides some thoughtful perspective on what that could mean for teachers: "fewer things, better" https://t.co/ONm4FmE4VV
Appreciated the opportunity to share just a few of the ways @Schoology and @usekamiapp have saved me time (and lessened the stress of teacher workload!) with fellow teachers today #psdready21
.@amyhm18@DeLucaPSD share the power of G Suite integration, & how time & experience has made their @schoology presence even better at MS, & @willreadit and @TheNeffwork give the HS #psdready21 perspective, especially how much we love the @usekamiapp integration w touchscreens!
“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”

Heading to the airport after a stellar #SchoologyNEXT and already thinking about how I’m going to put some of these ideas into action as soon as I get home. The hype is real! Thanks @Schoology for an awesome week in Boca!
@EtterEnglish loved the presentation today! The wheels are already turning on how I can incorporate some of your ideas into my own ELA classroom—thanks!
The sun’s shining and it’s a great week for #blackoutpoetry y’all. Looking forward to seeing what the kids can come up with. My marker skills could use some work, but otherwise a good start! #poetrymonth
Interesting read! "Students are all hearing the same advice, so they, of course, end up looking like every other applicant. What they thought they should do is actually contributing, in large part, to them not standing out.”
