@JustTeachingELA @scottmpetri I like "Number the Stars" It is more for the middle school grade level but great insight into the Holocaust. #engsschat

@scottmpetri I use the simple prompt of "What was the most important event in the book" it gets them thinking and easy to share. #engsschat

Q3: Book talks are a great way to get your students discussing the books they read. What are some other techniques that get students talking about what they are reading? #engsschat

@nancy_krone @PapillonAnne A4. #grit might be the most interesting to me. It has been proven that grit is the number 1 characteristic connected with success. I also feel it is something that is slipping away from students quickly as this pandemic goes on.#optwitterlearn

@PapillonAnne A5. I do intend to use twitter, but the challenge will be to make a point of using it regularly. I guess when I am lesson planning, I can jump on and check it out quickly. #optwitterlearn

@PapillonAnne A3. I would have to go back to my A1 answer, but it is Todd Whittaker. He allows you to get the joy out of teaching, and gives you best practice. #optwitterlearn

@PapillonAnne A2. I wanted to include the hashtag #creativelessons. I think there is so much you can do with the content in social studies. It would be a shame not be be creative. #optwitterlearn

[Peter Herman @_pherman]

@PapillonAnne A1. I would say Todd Whittaker. He spoke at OPCSD before, I went to a conference of his, and read several of his books. I am always looking for more Todd. #optwitterlearn

Love this thought as a self reflection of my teaching. #checkyourself @PapillonAnne

[Jan Dodd Wright @Jan_DoddWright]

“Teach, Don’t Tell” is one piece of Todd Whittaker’s message this morning. Influence is everything. #WGEDD

[Peter Herman @_pherman]

This made me rethink my day. #takethejobseriously @PapillonAnne

I feel your pain. I love my virtual class, but teaching virtually is a challenge. #backtonormal @PapillonAnne

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

I’d like to think I am VERY engaging as a teacher, yet still, there are days where getting my kids to engage in virtual learning is like pulling teeth. If this is you, trust me, I am right there with you 😩

Love the motivation, great quote to start the morning. #dontsettle. @PapillonAnne

@pathammer How is it looking for Friday morning? Wind chills? Snow clean up? Might schools be off on Friday also?

[Peter Herman @_pherman]

#penpal #China #Egypt does anyone have a connection in China or Egypt, want to set up penpals for 6th graders.

[Peter Herman @_pherman]

@teachbleggett @rh_missmurray Hello, looking to make a connection with Greece for pen pals, any info you have would be great.

[Peter Herman @_pherman]

#sschat Anybody have any connections to Greece for a pen pal activity. #edchat #edtech
