#DistanceLearning can be a daunting task for teachers, especially in the younger years & definitely for those who aren't as comfortable with tech. One simple tool I've found to help with read alouds & reading content is a podcast. My podcast is @ https://t.co/9m9ssczJJa #pypchat

[Josh Masagatani @ibMrM]

1. https://t.co/zAlsIvZpnJ is free
2. Record from your device (or computer) & upload that file to the @anchor app instantly. (no fancy equipment)
3. Easy to use, within minutes you can take your recording & have it published.
4. Ss access recordings on @Spotify or a link online

My 10-Year Challenge:

The Average Teacher’s Salary in 2009: $54,319

The Average Teacher’s Salary in 2019: $57,439

That’s an increase of $3,120 over 10 years. Based on the current inflation rate ($1.20 or 1.76%) it should be $65,158.

@SaturnLunacy We're currently studying Space in my class and my 4th-grade student Alexis has a suggestion: "You should name a new moon "Nephelae" because it's one of Zeus' nymphs and Saturn's Greek name is Cronus (Zeus' father). Here's a picture I found of her" #NameSaturnsMoons

Inquiry in the Butterfly Garden at #AMNH2019 #SCIENCEINTHEPYP leading students to great questioning and inquiry starts with silence. As teachers we sometimes need to give no instructions and let our Ss just explore. They will naturally lead us to areas of interest and exploration

[Josh Masagatani @ibMrM]

Exploring activities that encourage inquiry and exploration through the senses. Using a closed brown paper bag students explore various senses to make predictions about the bags content. Develop strong questioning and the use of various tools #scienceinthePYP #AMNHconference2019

[Josh Masagatani @ibMrM]

Day 1 of #scienceinthePYP at the American Museum of Natural History and we're already knee deep in new learning...questioning how much of our histories are accurate and accurate to whom? How do we decolonize information to remove bias? EG. How do text books present natives?

@PYPMajken @jfrank_001 @hwcdsbmathk8 @mashupmath Very cool! #currentlystealing

[Josh Masagatani @ibMrM]

@PYPConnectED @PYPMajken Thanks all! Appreciate the insight and fresh ideas! Mahalo @PYPMajken 🤙🏾

[Josh Masagatani @ibMrM]

@mstitus_wa @PYPConnectED Yes! Organic classrooms where needs are met when appropriate, not just when the schedule says so.

[Josh Masagatani @ibMrM]

@mstitus_wa @PYPConnectED I like that Friday afternoon reflection! Tell em more about flashlight Friday! 🤩

[Josh Masagatani @ibMrM]

@PYPConnectED A4: students could have more choice within the schedule (what to do when) allowing them to take ownership of what needs to get done and developing prioritization #pypconnected

[Josh Masagatani @ibMrM]

@PYPConnectED A3: Choice leads to more authentic learning as oppose to regurgitated curriculum year after year
