@josh_colvin @bergjaso Floop EDU! @kevinsmithsd

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

Creativity is something I want to add to my future classroom. I want the lessons, relationships, and teaching to be something that is engaging and different from others. #dsu360 #dsuteach

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

Excited to be attending #TIE20 Virtual Conference today! Be sure to listen to @bergjaso talk about how our education system should change to promote more technology, similar to how we are teaching through this pandemic! @kevinsmithsd #dsuteach

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

Bring it on mathematicians! #dsumath

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

Staying calm during a pandemic is tough, but the transition to distance learning is tougher. This chaos will challenge each one of us but also make us smarter and stronger than ever before. #dsumath @kevinsmithsd

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

What a great tool to do at home! @kevinsmithsd #dsumath

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

Splat! is a great tool to use during math class to help increase students equation solving and complex thinking! Steve Wyborney's blog gives more information and access to some PowerPoint's containing Splat! https://t.co/yAhlwDgz38 #dsumath @kevinsmithsd

Wakelet is a great tool to use for saving tools and tips from the internet!! Plus it’s FREE!! #ignitethefiresd @DSUteach @wakelet

Gamification is a great way to spark interest in the classroom and content you are teaching! @kevinsmithsd #dsumath

Happy President’s Day! #dsu360

One great way to create a Supportive Mathematics Learning Community is to construct the classroom norms and allow for students to reflect on their explanation and help critique others when incorrect. @kevinsmithsd #dsumath

A7: I am still in the learning process before I create my legacy, but I would like my students to remember me as their "forever fan" because I followed their achievements and continued to praise them from afar! #tlap #dsu360

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

A6: I want to encourage all students to do their best by praising them for when I notice hard work and personalization on their work. #tlap #dsu360

[Dave Burgess @burgessdave]

Okay! Let me just say that #dsu360 ED students are on 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 tonight!! Love that you are participating in #tlap!!! Walking into #tlap chat like...

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

A5: Sparking all of these qualities will allow for each student to feel like their talents matter and that they are cherished by their teacher and peers! #dsu360 #tlap

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

A4: Teamwork is a great way to do this. Pairing students with students who have different strengths allows for them to learn and build off one another #tlap #dsu360

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

This is a great way to become involved in our students after-school activities! #dsu360

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

A3: I wanted to go into more detail about this because finding out more about students personal lives allows for us to relate the content to the students. #tlap #dsu360

[Mr. Henkel @CoachHenkel]

A3 Its not so much an activity, but a strategy. In the first two weeks of school, I try to have a conversation with each student. I take the time to find out about their likes, dislikes, school involvement, etc. It also helps when learning names ;) #tlap

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

A2: Risk taking is a great way to go outside your comfort zone. The best way to help students do this is to model or show the benefits of taking appropriate risks! #tlap #dsu360

[Keesha Barnes @keeshabarnes]

A1: My greatest takeaway for #tlap is Rapport! This is one of the biggest aspects we should follow as teachers #dsu360
