@Flipgrid is it possible to keep student videos private so other students cannot see their response? I’m a new teacher here and have never used the educator side of the app.
@HundrEDorg@CSULiberalArts#educ331 I’ve been doing some research on Newsela, and I’d love to hear from some teachers that use it regularly! As a teacher candidate, I have yet to access the PRO version and would love to see how teachers put it to use in the classroom. 📖📚📝
I was so encouraged by the #shelfietalk twitter chat I participated in a few weeks ago and how educators are on here to inspire one another. I’ve checked out some new reading recommendations and am thankful for more blogs to check out! :)
A8: Modeling independent reading isn’t something I had thought about for the classroom. Also, I love the books people said as being popular with their students! New ones to check out :) #shelfietalk
A5: A few examples: graffiti walls where students share their favorite lines from books, stickers in books that say "____ loved this" allowing students to add their names to the list, and pictures that show students/teachers reading #supportandcelebrate#shelfietalk
A5: Reading groups that discuss what they’ve read is a great way for them to support one another. They have to bring their independent thoughts to the table and it helps build confidence and community. #shelfietalk
A4: Reflecting on our own lives as a reader helps us engage more in what we are reading because we can learn more intellectually, but also practically for our lives. Reading helps us grow and learn as human beings and our students get to engage in that too. How cool! #shelfietalk
This is such a great idea! I remember loving these times as a student myself. What are some of your favorite places to get materials for this type of cozy classroom?
A2: Give students choice not just regarding the books they read but WHERE they read - privacy shields, book nook, pillows, rug, etc...anything cozy and comfortable. Make it feel like the kids are getting "me" time in the classroom. #shelfietalk#litbankstreet
A2: Hello! This is my first education chat as a preservice teacher. Students will want to engage in independent reading if given choices and if the teacher is excited about it! If they are given milestones and aids along the way, they'll be more engaged. #shelfietalk
A6: All our strong reaction towards empathy and its importance stuck out to me the most from our discussion today. Students deserve the best, and we cannot give our best without empathizing with them as they grow and learn! We have a REALLY cool job. #EDUC331
A5: AI will be able to replace almost everything, but it cannot replace love. It cannot replace empathy. It cannot replace creativity. It cannot replace TEACHERS #educ331
A5: Empathy is the main reason why I love teaching. We get to connect with others on a personal level and grow and learn alongside them. Also, helping students be empathetic towards one another helps create such a kind atmosphere that the world is missing. #EDUC331
