#getinmooc is a wonderful online learning course (/community). It is interactive and reflective, allowing for learners to utilize information in their practice. @coursera

@JonGordon11 I was washing my car the other day and my son (4) asked, “won’t the car get dirty again” and I agreed, “it will, probably as soon as we leave the driveway...”

I then continued that it’s about taking pride in something. Taking care of something even when you aren’t expected to.

Make your bed!

The little things matter. Comment 🙌 if you agree!

Video from US Navy Admiral, William H. McRaven delivering a speech about the importance of doing the little things like making your bed, embracing the fears of life, and changing the world for generations to come.

Looking for some journal ideas?

"Suddenly, I woke up...."
- in the Amazon
- in the desert
- on the beach
- in outer space
- on the moon
- in the North Pole
- in the South Pole
- on an island
- hanging from a cliff

Any other ideas?

You know it’s been a year filled with anxiety when you need to sit down when you read “Goodbye GSuite” from your system memos. @GoogleForEdu - good news first, please.

@GWorldTrav @DrBradJohnson That is, I’m sure students are still spending copious amounts of time on RoadBlox and Minecraft. What are those games doing that we aren’t?
I hear my nephew talking about playing Minecraft while on Zoom with his friends. He’s not tired of the computer. He’s just not being engaged

[Educate&Explore @explore_educate]

@GWorldTrav @DrBradJohnson “Ss are tired of the computer.” Do you think this is true? I’m certain they aren’t tired of the computer, and rather, tired of learning online. I’m teaching online this school year and I see the fatigue in the students. It’s up to me to adapt.

@MrSpencerMaths @NickAuger88 @ygbjammy I’m in it for the kids, but that can also be done online.

[Educate&Explore @explore_educate]

@NickAuger88 @ygbjammy I teach online and have 4 hours a day of interaction with my students. In fact, due to a lack of lengthy transitions, I probably interact with my students more online than I did in person.

Consider the average length of a washroom visit?

[Educate&Explore @explore_educate]

@ygbjammy Absolutely in the exact same boat as you. I was eager for the switch and now I’m fearful of returning (COVID-19 notwithstanding).

What is your favourite way to collect formative assessment during Distance Learning? #getinmooc #EdTwitter #edtwtpoll

[Educate&Explore @explore_educate]

@MissGibbs18 Looks great!
Would appreciate a copy.

[Educate&Explore @explore_educate]

@GoogleForEdu Yeesssssss! I’ve been sending this request for months. Although I wouldn’t mind being able to add some coded language or embed features.

Finally, they will write about their own car using at least 2 of their friends' ideas.

Students are encouraged to "like" their friends ideas that they plan on using for their own writing.

[Educate&Explore @explore_educate]

I've created a padlet to use with my students for a pre-writing activity. First, the instructor will read If I Built a Car. Next, the students will come up with an idea for a feature they would put on a car.
