@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
