@Lin_Manuel My 2 year old just saw this and said "Dat Hamilton!" #HamilKid

[Katrina McLaughlin @kmclaughlin158]

My 6 year old Hamilton fan is just as amazed at your genus as I am, @Lin_Manuel. Her response when I told her you wrote all of Hamilton and a lot of Moana: "Wow! How did he do that? What's the first thing he ever wrote?" Interpret that how you wish from a 6 year old's brain...

@pernilleripp You are an amazing educator and role model to so many, and I often wonder how all of the amazing educators like you "do it all". Thank you for being 100% open and honest. Social media needs more of this. Family and self-care first. Always. ❤️

.@JoyKirr was inspirational as always! The type of educator we all want to work with. #iste18

I can't tell you how many times I have used your #Geniushour Live Binder, @JoyKirr! I loved hearing the story of how it came to be. #ISTE18

Search 'are cats better than dogs?' vs. 'are dogs better than cats?' "Google isn't made to give you the best information in the world. It's designed to make money, and it does that by keeping you happy." via @globalkids This is SO important for kids to realize! #iste18

[Katrina McLaughlin @kmclaughlin158]

So many common threads between #iste18 this week and #LIM2018 last week. Between @BurkinsandYaris, @KristinZiemke, and @globalearner, I feel like I'm having deja vu. Our most important job is to teach kids to ask questions and to teach them how to LEARN!

"Asking questions is the life blood of learning." via @globalearner #iste18

[Katrina McLaughlin @kmclaughlin158]

Teaching kids to ask interesting questions is harder than teaching them the answers. Wise words from @globalearner #iste18

"I love when someone comes into my class and asks, 'What subject is this?' It's thinking! We do it all day long!" @KristinZiemke LOVE THIS! #LIM2018

[Katrina McLaughlin @kmclaughlin158]

This pretty much sums it all up. This is our goal. @KristinZiemke #LIM2018

"We use mentor texts to show kids that they can write in the style of authors, but what is our 'mentor tech'? We need to be putting high quality tech in front of kids that we want them to emulate." @KristinZiemke #LIM2018

[Katrina McLaughlin @kmclaughlin158]

This is so fun and a great way to start your day and get kids thinking! Love the idea of a "soft start" to each day. https://t.co/wxLionrHN5 #LIM2018 @KristinZiemke

[Katrina McLaughlin @kmclaughlin158]

Excited to wrap up Literacy in Motion with @KristinZiemke! She never disappoints! #LIM2018

[Katrina McLaughlin @kmclaughlin158]

Yes! Our reading instruction, and all instruction, should create independent thinkers, not kids who can answer questions correctly. @BurkinsandYaris #LIM2018

[Katrina McLaughlin @kmclaughlin158]

You know it's a good institute day when it ends with a standing ovation. Thank you, @gcouros! Now how do we top this, #dist158? Let's do it!

[Katrina McLaughlin @kmclaughlin158]

Truth. Keeping our kids sheltered doesn't do them any good. @gcouros #dist158

[Katrina McLaughlin @kmclaughlin158]

@MVallejoTeacher @gcouros Yes!! My husband is a prime example of this. Awful at school, great at his profession.

[Katrina McLaughlin @kmclaughlin158]

This kid is awesome! If only my daughter wanted to watch this on YouTube instead of other kids opening up blind bags... 😂 @gcouros
