This is a great resource. I plan to use this for my 1st grader at home too

📢Newly released!

This guide was developed as an instructional tool to support teachers, parents, and students in Grades K-3 with handwriting developmental skills. This guide will work in conjunction with the local district/school curriculum for handwriting.✏️

This is so cool! I would have never thought that technology could be used in PE classes.

While observing a Phys Ed classroom this week. I watched the use of an IPAD to track laps and amount of miles run through the school year. There was one student that has logged 80 miles since the beginning of school.

This is another form of technology that I didn't know existed. This would be great in a classroom, but my 7th grader would also love this at home.

Fighting during #WWI was temporarily halted during the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. This day became formally recognized as #ArmisticeDay to commemorate the ending of the war and is now known as #VeteransDay. Learn more: https://t.co/YukSFB7dnh. #APUSH #OTD

Fabulous graphic on what explicit teaching should look like.

[Amy Dorsey @amy_dors1]

I agree that this is an excellent idea

[Irish Mom @IrishELATeacher]

What an interesting idea!! I know how often media drives every narrative these days! Letting students explore and research how media effects our lives is a cool idea!!

[Amy Dorsey @amy_dors1]

This is very useful. Especially for teachers like me, that know very little about technology. I will definitely be checking some of these out.

These interactive tools will help increase student engagement within the classroom. With platforms like Kahoot, Class Dojo and TED, teachers will have a chance to implement technology in the classroom.

This is important information to read before sharing information on social media platforms

[Pamela Christian @PamelaC18769900]

Before we continue a cycle of misinformation...

[Amy Dorsey @amy_dors1]

I had no idea this existed. This looks like an easy, user-friendly form of technology

[Erin Rogers @ErinRog17418975]

I had a great time experimenting with Google Docs Newspaper Template for my tech integration project! Extremely user-friendly way to integrate technology in a traditional format with a newspaper....most kids have never seen a newspaper in their home, so it's cool to introduce!

This looks like an interesting conference for elementary school teachers to attend. Learning loss and discipline are two big concerns right now for teachers. This conference may provide valuable information for teachers to use in their classrooms.

Tweet #5- In preschool, we do not use technology to teach. The only time I have used technology in the classroom was in a pre-k class. We used starfall for math games. I have more success with hands on math games instead of technology games

[Amy Dorsey @amy_dors1]

I have always used Common Sense Media when trying to decide if a website, tv show or a game are age appropriate for my children. I just found out there is also a Common Sense Education which would be a great resource for teachers to use in the classroom

Kids learn how to use technology by watching their parents and caregivers, so check out the 4 Ways to Balance Screen Time Around Children from our friends @CommonSenseEd. #medialiteracy https://t.co/SWiUpXJOoa

[Amy Dorsey @amy_dors1]

This looks like an amazing professional development opportunity for teachers. It's important to not only educate as teachers but to learn how to take care of our student's social and emotional needs as well.

Yes! And language comprehension is a part of the simple view of reading and essential for comprehension! Word recognition ALONE will not take us there . It is all of the BELOW.

The Alabama Reading Initiative (ARI) helps support high quality instruction that will give students the tools they need to meet or exceed grade level standards. Now with the literacy act in place, hopefully we will see more kids reading at or above grade level.
