@kerisavoca @hustletolearn @stibitzl @PrincipalCates @jillian_damon Following. If I'm ever in trouble for telling students I was kicked out of middle school, grew up in a trailer park, with Walmart employed parents, I would make a strong appeal to the district to lighten up and let people be real.

Back to thinking about #plc work with @pfarmersr Love this idea: "Our school guarantees you will learn..." #learningtargets @AlbertLeaSchool

@JessicaCabeen My favorite social studies ice breaker: Students try to translate their name and one fact into Morse Code to send telegram. Lots of tapping, relevant (ancient Twitter), engaging. Use the Smart Board or iPads.

How about this hashtag? #workshopswewant Titles only please. @jenhegna #Edchat #edtech #pbl #sblchat

[Ben Green @bdigitalgreen]

@jenhegna Still just an attendee. Tech #workshopsiwant connecting locally and globally, communicating with families, new (augmented) realities in content, feedback, standards based grading, cheap hardware, #pbl, maker in your content, building student relationships.

#edtech Ideas? 1. Query each subject area about non-tech problems, come up with a potential tech solution. 2. Run workshops focused on pedagoy not tech programs (i.e better communication with families).

In this month's AMLE Magazine column, @rickwormeli2 asks us to examine the cultural narrative around the ideologies of grit and #growthmindset. Are we considering students' circumstances? https://t.co/NnAFZLLI4G #edchat @plthomasEdD @alfiekohn

Deconstructed a bunch of old #motivational posters today. I'll let my students write their own positive messaging. #creativity @AlbertLeaSchool
