@NatalieSteenwyk @drjervin This is so important as new teachers! Using a #PLN to reach out to more experienced educators will be so helpful. #EDMC3500

[Anna Espling @espling_anna]

@drjervin A5 #EDMC3500 My #PLN will be especially important for my teaching effectiveness as I reflect on my teaching and look for ways to improve areas that I may be lacking. A #PLN will allow me to reach out to other educators for advice and resources!

@NatalieSteenwyk @drjervin @SirKenRobinson #EDMC3500 Having an environment in which students feel comfortable to ask questions is so important; teachers should work to create a class environment in which every student can feel comfortable to talk!

[Anna Espling @espling_anna]

@drjervin @SirKenRobinson A4 #EDMC3500 I would love to implement some of @SirKenRobinson great points in the classroom by allowing students to flourish in individuality, creativity, and curiosity through passion projects!

@NatalieSteenwyk @drjervin #EDMC3500 I love incorporating student choice, especially when students find how they learn best! It makes the learning experience so much more engaging and real for students.

@drjervin #EDMC3500 A3: A way to make learning integrated by design is to turn assignments into passion projects. Allowing students to design the project creates student engagement, and working together in a digital makerspace keeps the project moving. https://t.co/vIxcCs0JMO

@TaylorLeeds1 @drjervin @AMLE I love this resource because it connects classroom work with students’ real lives and struggles that they are dealing with. I especially liked the Blackout Conversation activity!

@drjervin @AMLE #EDMC3500 A2 My top resource is 5 Keys to Effective Classroom Management. It gives great tips to first year teachers on how to create a good classroom environment. https://t.co/hrLVY4uHq4

@struble_katie @drjervin I love that you said that students should also be involved in challenging past conceptions of classroom environment! Sometimes the students have the greatest insights on what can be changed.

@drjervin #EDMC3500 A1: Teachers can enable students to become their co-pilots for learning by including students in the process of choosing classroom assignments/projects. https://t.co/DzJZtvjRJa

John Milton was born today in 1608. Students learn about sonnet form with one of his poems in this HS lesson: https://t.co/f8UVqY8fs4

@jboehringer6 @RobertIsaKing @flippedlearning #EDUC2100 Great resource! Here’s an article that talks more about the benefits of a flipped classroom https://t.co/Yhg3x5zTOh

[Anna Espling @espling_anna]

@johncgast @RobertIsaKing @VisibleLearning Good relationships in the classroom is so important. Here’s a article that talks about building relationships in the classroom https://t.co/Yhg3x5zTOh #EDUC2100

@RobertIsaKing @VisibleLearning A5b: #EDUC2100 While all of the mind frames are important, I think that #4 (teachers seeking out feedback) is most important. The way teachers teach impact their students, therefore we should seek out feedback in order to better our teaching.

[Anna Espling @espling_anna]

@RobertIsaKing @flippedlearning A5a #EDUC2100 Great video! Here is a blog post that describes how flipped learning can help teachers build better relationships with their students https://t.co/R3rnVLLGhF

[Anna Espling @espling_anna]

@RobertIsaKing A4: #EDUC2100 in my #studentcentered class I would like my students to take ownership by allowing them to have a voice in some of my class decisions and to help with some instruction.

[Anna Espling @espling_anna]

@hoops_ava @RobertIsaKing I love this! Connecting with students and showing them that as a teacher you want to help them succeed in their own learning is so important. #EDUC2100

A3: #CUchat Being a reflective practitioner includes keeping a grasp on your reasons for teaching, and in doing so become stronger in your own teaching.

[Anna Espling @espling_anna]

I’m a sophomore MC social studies and ELA major, and I’m excited for the #CUchat tonight!

[Anna Espling @espling_anna]

@SwearingenMegan @RobertIsaKing I agree! Here’s a site that offers so many resources to build lessons like that https://t.co/RhbHrGh89y #EDUC2100
