A3: As a NT I wish I had more opportunities to observe experienced teachers within my school. In future, can we do that? #wmmschat

A3) Last year I am glad there were some fab mentor teachers who grabbed me. Also the teachers here are very supportive! @wmmschat @alicebdi

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

I want to be in your class. Your students were amazing last week! @mdeeay @MrDunlapWMMS @wmmschat

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

I agree. This is when the magic happens and the life long learning starts. @harveychambers1 #wmmschat

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

A2) I also wish I had a personal Obi-Won to show me how. #wmmschat

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

A2) I wish I knew that I was supposed to manage a classroom full of very very different learners and behaviors. #wmmschat

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

A2) I wish I knew how to balance the needs of all learners in a way that satisfied all stakeholders!

A1- Next year I plan to spend A LOT of time establishing routines and expectations in the first few weeks. #wmmschat

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

I have just as much work and stress now as I did when I was in charge of a $5m business. Teaching is no joke#wmmschat

[Harvey Chambers @harveychambers1]

A1: NTs must learn about the reality of the job which goes beyond any class lesson from college. It's shocking at times! #wmmschat

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

me too

#wmmschat Remind 101 and a lot of creation: powerpoint, moviemaker, prezi..etc... Also, extended learning outside the classroom.

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

#wmmschat One way I use it- grade as you go. I walk around the room with engrade up and give points for warm ups and homework.

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

#wmmschat proximity- engaging in what they are creating.

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

#wmmschat awesome point Katie Dell!

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

#wmmschat I think the students will embrace the technology. When I pull out the iPads the students are engaged with the task at hand.

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

#wmms hopefully, the students will have time to get the basics down their first year with devices in Elementary school.

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

#wmmschat I think the students will rise to the challenge of operating the technology, my worry is the responsibility.

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

#wmmschat My greatest concern is the students being able to hold on to their technology or forgetting to bring it when needed.

[Robyn Ford-Evans @FordEvans]

#wmmschat that was Kaitlin. I just helped finish the cost. My students need to make a Timothy Memorial and Monster products next year
