I'm using @GetSchoolAI to boast student engagement AND as a tool to know who needs more help with the material we're covering. Love it! #SchoolAI

Schools looking for a way to help parents understand the digital lives of their children should look into the benefits of becoming a Common Sense Connected School! Our parents loved the information LisaSolomon shared. @CommonSense

Excited to see my 8th grade students so engaged with this Media Literacy project! Combines lessons from @CommonSenseEd and @NewsLitProject on checking media sources and then creating an Information Museum in @CoSpaces_Edu @CurreyIngram #DigCit #Edtech #coding

@CommonSenseEd I’ll be there!

Motivational Monday for our #DigCitWeek started with a thoughtful encounter this a.m. A lady at the coffee shop stopped to say how much she liked my shirt. She works at Kroger and her response made me wonder how many unkind words she hears everyday. #kindnessMatters

Excited for Digital Wellness Week! This year we have planned daily House activities for all students and staff. We'll also be using many of the @CommonSenseEd lesson plans. I love the Digital Connections videos! #DigitalWellness #CommonSenseAmbassador @CurreyIngram

In a passing conversation with a 5th grader today I said I couldn't do something and he immediately replied, "Don't say that Ms. Franklin, you just have to keep trying." Love it when students remind us of what we always say to them! #growthmindset #lovemystudents

We are saddened by the news from Texas. We know that kids might be scared & have Qs about the events that took place. Educators may be asking how they can address this with their students or if they should be addressing it all. We hope our article helps: https://t.co/UtsqY9WAB0

My Digital Literacy classes are creating quiz games in CoSpaces using the 4 lenses criteria for evaluating information (Developing Digital Detective by LaGarde and Hudgins). I've also used @CommonSenseEd resources. Great classroom discussions! #DigCit @digcitPLN @CoSpaces_Edu

Feels like I’m in Narnia today! Walked to the grocery stores as an excuse to get outside. I experienced the warmth of the few people I encountered. #snowday #dontuseabuggytoshopwhenwakkinghome

Finishing up our #HourofCode2021 week today! We set up stations throughout the Learning Commons so all students had the opportunity to visit and try different coding activities. @CurreyIngram
