I am really enjoying learning from Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man! @EmmanuelAcho have you considered doing a video to help educate younger elementary aged kids? I teach 2nd grade and would love some resources!

A3: Students are so used to instant gratification and so I need to make my classroom interactive enough to keep their attention. They won’t always love the topics we study, but if I can keep them engaged then they will learn #mvesfuturedriven

This year I started a blog for my class. They are taking ownership of their writing and learning digital citizenship skills. The internet is always changing and the kids needs to know how to have good digital citizenship skills #mvesfuturedriven

A1: Teachers are used to routine and getting everyone on board can be a challenge. We are turning these into opportunities by holding PDs to encourage and motivate! #mvesfuturedriven

My 2nd graders have partnered with some great middle school kids this year and we had a blast creating graham cracker houses with them. #mveseagles #stem @LKapuchuck

Take your class on a virtual field trip to Africa with Safari Live! Follow along in your classroom and interact with tour guides over Skype. Book a tour yourself or ask an ITRT for help setting one up! #rcpstech #safarilive

Twinning in 2nd grade! #MVESeagles @LKapuchuck @MVESEagles

We were so excited to welcome our students back to school tonight! #MVESEagles #meettheteachernight

[Courtney French @cfrench710]

What a great idea!

[Amy McDevitt @ABCswithMrsMcD]

Setting the expectations that iPads at school are used for creating...different from iPads at home. Kinders know the difference! A powerful conversation that took two days to create. Tone is set for the year! Rolling out @Seesaw this Thursday. #Bestyearyet #pikeroadway

Students, do you love school? Are you ready, to come back to Mountain View? #mveseagles #teachermoms #kekechallenge

[Courtney French @cfrench710]

@Melissamves @LKapuchuck Students, do you love school? Cause we do!

[Courtney French @cfrench710]

@jenny_rathjen @Flipgrid @scomorrison It is great!!! My 2nd graders loved using it in math. They created their own word problem and then solved and responded to their classmates. It’s great for allowing them to explain their thinking and process

[Courtney French @cfrench710]

@MsRobertsonMVES Wow!!!! Great job!!
