Working as a teacher and learner. Living as a daughter, sister, friend, roommate and colleague. Identity? In Christ, a new creation!

Loved taking #ActivatedLearning Part 1 with @LCFaith this week! Can't wait to put into practice what I've learned, and to keep learning and growing!

@LCFaith Can't wait to get started on the #ActivatedLearning Part 1 training!

Shout out to my colleagues who took #DC508 with me! I learned a lot with you & from you. Loved thinking about how to use technology wisely in the classroom & in my own life. Loving the tech tool ideas that I walked away with! Thanks, @d_mulder for "facilitating" our learning!

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

@SBclassroom Thanks for clarifying! Right, it's good to be careful and intentional.

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

A6: Perspectice, right? We are educating Ss, not for the sake of teaching, but to set them up for success in life. That's what it's all about! In primary, a big part of this is simply building trust and confidence. #satchat

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

A5: At the primary level, I've really enjoyed using approaches and techniques found on https://t.co/OIJFwff1Ao and https://t.co/yOABizROiz #satchat

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

"to me it seems we are invalidating their issue" - Good point! #satchat

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

A3: So good to keep this in mind. Looking forward to reading some tips and tricks from others! #satchat

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

@KendraCameronJ @MrAustinA2 @ClarkeHolmes16 @ScottRRocco So true! I often use "What's up?" or "Can you tell me what happened?" rather than "Why did you do that?". As they tell their story, their viewpoint, you get understand their motivations and work with them to change. #satchat

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

A2 Relationships, relationships! Get to know them, try to understand the motivations. At the primary grade level, it's also about trying to figure out whether the behaviour is actually due to a learning disability or exceptionality. #satchat

@ScottRRocco Marise - Grade 2 teacher near Hamilton, Ontario. First time joining a live chat, still learning the ropes of Twitter! #satchat #DC508

Digital Storytelling. Does anyone else keep thinking that many TV commercials are prime examples of digital storytelling? #DC508

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

@Prisca_Pipitany @UitermJ It's good to be reminded of the "PERSONalization" of learning. Reminds me of discussions we've had at our school about reaching the students' HEARTS. (We've been studying P. Tripp's "Culture of Grace" series). Without reaching the heart, real transformation will not happen #DC508

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

@d_mulder I love this: "Let’s focus on finding ways to make teacher's daily tasks more efficient so that they have more time to focus on building real learning experiences, on individualizing and differentiating instruction, and on building creative, inspired, persistent learners." #DC508

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

@d_mulder Reminds me of the TPACK model that we studied earlier, where the two are distinct, but overlap. A very interesting read, indeed! I appreciate her reminder that, in many ways, the role of the teacher has remained unchanged. #DC508

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

@Josie_V_S_ Seems similar to Shockley's experiences (a teen herself): "The most memorable parts of my education have come when a teacher has taken the time to sit down & talk me through [a concept]. The next step for ed tech is to foster & enhance those memorable moments in school."#DC508

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

Shockley (a teen) mentions cheating, distraction, inconsistency in implementation and price tag as examples of how far we have to go before we'll have effective technology implementation. Her observations are refreshing! Anything that struck you, #DC508 ? https://t.co/7ZDhYlvPhr

"It is our role as teachers to help students develop the skills to problem solve independently and collaboratively use 21st-century skills while not relying on technology to do all of the thinking for them." #DC508

[Marise de Visser @_mdevisser]

Passanisi & Peters: "All technology was not created equal for access by these students, and their proficiency is often predicated by the amount of patience and determination required to complete a given task." https://t.co/fXbRVnpw36 #DC508
