@AggieOutfitters thanks for waiting until the day my gift was supposed to arrive before telling me you weren’t going to send it. Thanks even more for being so rude about it on the phone.

[TXAEYC @texasaeyc]

During #TeacherAppreciationWeek TXAEYC & @CCEIonline honor educators and their dedication to every student's unique learning style, as no two students are alike. Tammy Baty brings the incredible strength of each child's words into her classroom as she empowers our future!

@nearpod 1. You are not an imposter.
2. You are making a difference. You are the WORLD and the reason some students come every day.
3. Self-care is important and not selfish.

[Darrell Baty @drbaty]

@AlejandroGongo1 Important to pass on knowledge and culture to the next generation

[Darrell Baty @drbaty]

@txteachandlearn Me too! I hope we get to work together again.

A6: The best advice I have ever been given is that you can't do it all today. You must prioritize and put some in the stack for tomorrow and some in the stack for end of the week. Also, don't panic. #NearpodChat

Thanks to all for participating! #NearpodChat

[Nearpod @nearpod]

Thank you for participating! 💙 Any last words before you go? #NearpodChat

[Darrell Baty @drbaty]

So true. Kids want honesty. They want their teachers to be real, even if it is "nerdy". #NearpodChat

[Mr. Mykel Estes, M.Ed. @MrMykelEstes]

@nearpod Q6/A6: be your authentic self. Kids can sniff out inauthenticity — be yourself and they (Ss) will know they can also be themselves. #NearpodChat #Thanksgiving2022

[Darrell Baty @drbaty]

Great point. Tech tools that can open the world and provide experiences is a game changer. #NearpodChat

[Mr. Mykel Estes, M.Ed. @MrMykelEstes]

@nearpod Q5/A5: I’m grateful for tools that help bring the world to my students, namely @Nearpod but also @CommonLit/@Newsela. #NearpodChat #Thanksgiving2022

[Darrell Baty @drbaty]

A5: I love how learning management systems have made planning, documenting, reporting, etc. much easier & less time consuming. I especially love how programs such as Nearpod work right into most LMS and create a powerful lesson delivery with real time feedback. #NearpodChat

[Darrell Baty @drbaty]

This is incredible!!! #NearpodChat

Q4: What is the nicest thing a student has ever told you? How did it change your day/week/school year? #NearpodChat #EdChat #edutwitter
When my former students from last year contacted me to say they were coming back to volunteer for a Thanksgiving event feeding 3,000 families

[Darrell Baty @drbaty]

As a middle school person, I can relate!!! #NearpodChat

[Professor AMWC🎓👠👩🏿‍💻 @ProfessaDiva954]

Q3: What is something about your class/school that you appreciate? #NearpodChat #EdChat #edutwitter
The honesty and transparency of Middle School Students #STRAIGHTFACTS

[Darrell Baty @drbaty]

Absolutely. For them to have the courage and awareness to do this is amazing. #NearpodChat

[Mr. Mykel Estes, M.Ed. @MrMykelEstes]

@nearpod Q4/A4: thank you. An unprovoked/unprompted thank you for believing in them. 🥺. #NearpodChat #Thanksgiving2022

[Darrell Baty @drbaty]

A4: The nicest thing a student ever told me was they knew they wanted to become an engineer because of the confidence I instilled in them while I was their math teacher. This was years after when I taught them and they were graduating from college. #NearpodChat

[Darrell Baty @drbaty]

Admin support can make or break the experience for staff, students, and parents. I am happy you have a great team. #NearpodChat

[Mr. Mykel Estes, M.Ed. @MrMykelEstes]

@nearpod Q3/A3: I appreciate that I able to create and maintain a culture of mutual respect and trust inside my classroom. My admin team supports me 100% which allows me to transfer that to my Ss. #NearpodChat #Thanksgiving2022

A3: My favorite thing about my district is our culture of making the main thing the main thing - putting scholars first in our decision making. It shows in the classrooms, the campuses, and the central office. #NearpodChat #ScholarsFirst

[Darrell Baty @drbaty]

This is so refreshing to hear. Knowing that the things we do make a difference to students is priceless!!!

[Mr. Mykel Estes, M.Ed. @MrMykelEstes]

@nearpod Q2/A2: I’m #thankful for my ability to work with students everyday and see their potential. Cliche but true; there is a lot of noise that seems to be anti-the profession. But I’m reminded every day that I’m where I need to be. #NearpodChat #Thanksgiving2022

[Darrell Baty @drbaty]

A2: The ability that I am thankful for is relationship building. I have found this makes the process of growing both students and staff a much richer experience. I also am pretty good on the grill. #NearpodChat
