We are saddened beyond words to report the death of Captain Brian Hughes of the Arrowhead Hotshots. Hughes' crew was on the #FergusonFire on @Sierra_NF when he was struck and killed by a tree. We grieve his loss.

Firefighters completed containment lines and mopped up a small fire 2 miles southwest of El Portal that had jumped a containment line yesterday afternoon.

I agreed with the book, LISTEN. Don't be quick to speak. If both parties are coming from what's best for S, everyone heading in the right direction, just different paths. #LVChat https://t.co/me9LouniZ3
#LVChat#ShiftThis Q6: When educators encounter resistance (students, parents, colleagues, admin.), what strategies can we employ? What are some healthy practices? @jlevine80 @AshleyLVUSD

Not everyone is going to agree. Most important at secondary, your department, then site. It has the potential to cause problems with P wanting certain teachers because of it or in spite of it. Also, generations only seeing traditional class. #LVChat https://t.co/c5foNC5ox6
#LVChat#ShiftThis Q5: What are some fears or obstacles that educators face when implementing self-directed learning, and what are some ways we can overcome them? @jlevine80 @AshleyLVUSD
@LVCenterEdX Possibly true. Personally and Professionally, I don't want them on technology any more at all. Middle Schoolers life is way to dependent on it as is....#LVChat

I think sharing activities and desired goals is important. I do like how the book said to put it out there. Feedback, positive or constructive criticism are important to reflection. Digital citizenship is a struggle since I want less for my S. #LVChat https://t.co/bCHs47SP85
#LVChat#ShiftThis Q2: What types of things from our classrooms could we share on social media? Additionally, how are we modeling #digitalcitizenship when doing so? @jlevine80 @AshleyLVUSD

Hard time with "hand over"..prefer "guided chaos"...However, you have to tie this into curriculum/goal. They have to see that connection for future buy-in, or it's just a busy project. Only works with some classes to. Some can't handle it. #LVChat https://t.co/osgOAFRRho
@LVCenterEdX I'd rather have a phone call or face to face. I have a problem with putting something out there that is viewable to all and could be used against you. Unfortunately, some P are ruthless. #LVChat
#LVChat#ShiftThis Q3: What is your favorite type of social media to use when communicating with parents? Please explain the benefits. @jlevine80 @AshleyLVUSD

I hope to start with small things. Physical layout to begin. I might try to ask students to write down within a given unit of study those things they want to know more about...student directed ideas I guess.....#LVChat https://t.co/LWa4kziLID
#LVChat#ShiftThis After introducing yourself, please share what you hope to do as your first shift this coming August for the upcoming school year. @jlevine80 @AshleyLVUSD

Any social media? FB was probably to see what old friends were up to...This class is the first time I've used any social media for educational purposes. #LVChat https://t.co/A7TlagnUeT
A6 I try to do this activity, how would you play it. Controversial moment in history where they have to decide a different way to deal, and 2 possible responses to their actions. Useful for whole class discussion. #LVChat https://t.co/IArb0Ck1PC
