@henson_valerie@georgejroy I don't see any many issues with respect as I do with silliness for the sake of getting attention or being considered funny. When students have a public forum, sometimes they take advantage of it to get some laughs and struggle to engage in an academic manner. #edte731spring2021
@JohnEng81417400@georgejroy As a Language Arts teacher, I think that students do best when they verbally talk through something first and then use technology to write. It seems that the ability to convey one's thoughts and respond clearly in a live conversation is becoming a lost art.
@JennaLabossiere@georgejroy That is great! I have been on Class Dojo, but I have not explored that aspect. Sounds like a nice alternative that can still be engaging. Thanks!

One challenge of using social media in the classroom is that not all students are allowed to participate in social media with their cellphones. One benefit is the increased engagement. #EDTE731SPRING2021
@AlexFogle11@georgejroy I would agree that for most students and parents, navigating social media feels more natural and accessible than many of the online grading and behavior systems used by my school.
@MrHabegger @fssdFMS This is much better than when they calculate the total. If done incorrectly, it was a computation that actually made the kids have an INVERSE amount of GRIT.
