@ashleyblatt_edu I haven't had so much experience teaching students, but as a student, I definitely realized when my teachers wouldn't own up to a mistake. I think it's a difficult line to toe, you want to be honest and credible, but you also need to be in charge.

@ashleyblatt_edu Cool and unique platform for this project!

@Paige17516310 This is an interesting proposition, I think that some students may learn better in this environment, but students would probably also be labeled based on what class they are placed in.

@Rdene915 Cool that your teacher was able to go outside of his comfort zone to give his students an enjoyable educational activity.

@Mason64752401 Some of my classes have begun to incorporate this new social networking technology called twitter into their curriculums

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@Mason64752401 Many of my teachers did have this mentality and I often found it frustrating because we could never take time to relax or dive more deeply into an interesting subject.

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@Paige17516310 I think it definitely is, especially as the world changes faster and faster and information becomes more readily available.

@KS_edchat My high school had three levels of classes. I think these leveled classes are a difficult issue as on the one hand, students should perform better in classes with peers who learn at the same speed, but on the other hand, leveled classes often label students early on.

@mbarredu I think Pixton was a great choice for displaying this information. The comics are cool and clear and help drive your points home!

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@ElisabethNg2 I'm sure it is very difficult to face principals and parents who are not happy with alternative methods.

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@MadisonHinksmon I had a similar situation where my class thought that we weren't a great class. How did you guys deal with this sentiment?

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@MadisonHinksmon Good question, this is a difficult line to toe.

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@ElisabethNg2 I think it is virtually impossible for passionless teachers to be very effective in the classroom.

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@KS_edchat I'm sure it will. This whole moving online thing is new for a lot of people, so many will have to collaborate in order to figure out how to make it work.

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@mbarredu I, unfortunately, was not provided with much choice.

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@ElisabethNg2 Interesting point, I wonder how the tools and apps page could help with this.

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@KnockTyler These comics are really well done!

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@jhhirsh Agreed, I wish that teachers from my past had taken the time to get to know me and my learning style better.

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@ashleyblatt_edu @Rdene915 I agree that love first, teach second is a really important point. I've had teachers in the past that clearly did not love teaching, and it had a really negative impact on the class.

[Jared Shein @jrodshein]

@IsabellaNotara2 I think this is a really important and difficult question to answer as it would probably benefit students to do different amounts of homework, but I'm sure some students would not be happy knowing that some of their classmates have less work than them.
