@teachbetterteam In my experience it starts with establishing a good relationship that balances compassion with high standards/expectations. Teaching is a calling, some are just tone deaf.
@HistoryInPics Many people today criticize Jimi's critical view of the Vietnam War, but few of them realize he served in the 101st Airborne. Jimi lives in this music. #JimiHendrix
@misslackaff This sholarly article does a great job explaining how research can guide how to apply the social learning theory through the use of social media. It also provides a brief and interesting examination of geographic consideration that teachers should consider. #6711SM6
@Mavelez901 This scholarly article provides a nice survey of the social learning theory and highlights two of the main thinkers of the subject. I also enjoy seeing a structured approach to applying problem-based strategies. #6711SM6
@Mavelez901 This popular source has several articles that go beyond the basic of social learning concepts. The article about evaluating your LMS to make it a part of social learning in the classroom is very useful. Good find. #6711SM6
@HistoryInPics I would like to say thank you to whom ever puts out these eclectic photos from our past. I have really enjoyed them this Summer and I'm sure a lot of other people have as well. It also seems those following are as wide-ranging as the photos #bipartisan
@greenhousenyt @kennethcdavis In short, in the absence of a mobilized voting public, Congress regulates itself and both parties benefit from these kinds of rules. We need systemic change that ranges from term limits to addressing money in politics. No substitute for #civics lesson and a desire for change.
Voice threads for assessments? Never that of that. I could see it being used for diognostic and formative assessments. Summative? Great idea if done right. @voicethread#TeachBetter#History

Think of all the different applications for classroom teachers like us. I know some of you are thinking about how students might us this to plagiarize, but you have to remind them we have access to it also. #TeachBetter#ushistory
@edutopia I find most "bell ringer" activities to be a waste of time. At the high school level, I just assume they are ready to learn and start the class with a question/discussion. Any thoughts? @edutopia#TeachBetter
@Mavelez901 One of the interesting parts of this article is that it address differentiation in the context of Project-based learning. In addition it has several good suggestions for types of projects that teachers can use in most classes. #6711SM5
