Congratulations to Jonah Wilkinson, Dan O. Root Health & Wellness Academy’s student of the year! 🎉 We are so proud of you!

“In fact, we would venture to say everything your teachers need to teach and your students need to learn is freely available on the Internet” (Schrum & Levin) Agreed! But that doesn’t guarantee that they will know how to find quality sources! #edl_655

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

Anyone have their own experience w/ personalized learning? Much of my college education in the Hutchins program @ SSU was student-directed & it was very positive for me. Thoughts? #edl_655

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

Haha this one is great!! :) https://t.co/ve3GoBGMKX

Having some fun with this meme generation task! #collaboration #edl_655

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

I bet this is coming! Did some quick googling and it looks like many districts are adapting common core connected technology standards created by The Fresno County Office of Education. Interesting! #edl_655 https://t.co/q4tybqOGrG

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

Love this, but can't help but wonder about the effect on college apps. I remember being so excited about all the fun classes offered in high school, but couldn't take them because I needed others to be considered by colleges. #EDL_655

Making memes for a #EDL_655 assignment and I'm cracking up!! 🤣 Creativity is so important for our 21st century learners!

@nellie_tate If you're on Facebook https://t.co/o334wpfptc has been IMMENSELY helpful. Members are eager to share their Hyperdocs! If you search "Professional Development" w/in the group lots of great stuff pops up!

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

So many ways! But one I’ve specifically been focusing on is creating Hyperdocs to help keep students on track & accountable while I work w/ small groups. So many possibilities! #edl_655 https://t.co/haSyM9hFuw

[Katie Fragapane @MissFragapane]

Technology is such an important tool in modern day education! How do you use technology to enhance your student learning experience? #edl_655

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

Totally amused that Lemonade Tycoon is mentioned as an educational app in one of my #edl_655 books! Anyone else remember this game? I never really thought of it as educational, but I suppose it is! Now I want to play...

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

I remember the first time I worked simultaneously w/ my peers on Google Slides for a group presentation in college and thought, ”Why wasn’t this around when I was in high school?!” So glad we can make the most of these tools w/ our students! #edl_655

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

Looks like I was a little ahead of myself with my questions about blogging last week 😅 super helpful reading this week. #edl_655 thanks to all who shared ideas!! ☺️

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

@ChristinaNosek @SchmidtKristas Wow I love this idea! I’ve been looking for a reading log substitute for a while.

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

Cool idea! I wish there were a picture included! #edl_655

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

Totally agree 🙌🏼 I used to love the Inside Mathematics ones but have shifted away as I attempt to master new curriculum. Such good stuff... maybe time to reintegrate! https://t.co/LDJ42EJcNz #edl_655 https://t.co/2S00z4aYpA

[YING YI ZHONG @zhongyingyi2013]

@xalisco1974 One way to do that is to start your math lesson with a high-ceiling-low-floor problem. It is fun! #edl_655 https://t.co/1FXtwztFiT

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

Teachers who have students blogging: Who reads the blogs?...is it mainly parents? How is blogging better than Class Dojo or other digital portfolios? (Or is it?!) #edl_655

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

“We know that our students are already wired and connected outside of school.” (Leading 21st Century Schools) This is a huge reason why I’ve begun more fully embracing tech- they use it @ home so might as well learn how to use it safely/responsibly! #EDL_655

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

@EDUcre8ive @TechCoachEDU Awesome! Thank you so much.

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

Feeling inspired by the idea of student-created video tutorials to show knowledge, but not totally sure how to edit on a chromebook. Anyone know any chromebook friendly sites/programs for video editing? #edl_655

[Alexandra Matile @AMatile]

@SRyan3rdgrade @explainevrythng Thanks! What I’m looking for is something that has capabilities similar to iMovie & beyond recording. Ideally I’d like them to be able to splice several things together. I feel like we had this same conversation about a year ago 😂
