With the school year approaching, I've been ramping up my school website so students and parents can utilize it as soon as they arrive for open house! Within the next couple weeks, I plan on adding more links to the different websites we'll be using. https://t.co/Dz901jYa3O

As mentioned in Richardson's Why School: How Education Must Change When Learning and Information Are Everywhere, we are using an educational system that is 150 years old. It's time we look at the tools at our fingertips and make a systematic change to better prepare our students.

Excellent article with ideas on how to engage parents and improve student performance. Helpful in preparing for the upcoming school year! #edchat

Research has found that involving families in schools leads to increased student achievement, improved graduation rates, and better college prep. Focusing on these five areas will help you reach and support parents: https://t.co/a4UL0udFTn @The74 #satchat

I haven’t heard of this term but I think it is needed in the classroom with all the technology students are using #SMU622

#ThoughtForTheDay We may not get to choose our class rosters or which students walk into our schools, but as the adults we do get to decide the kind of climate & culture we want to serve them in. #Culturize

While this article focuses on technology in the classroom of higher education, I think many of these points apply to elementary and middle school classrooms as well! Apps like Google Docs and the Cloud have made saving and sharing work incredibly easy!

@mraspinall Making strong connections is so important with a new set of students on the first day. I also believe in setting high expectations for your students is important as well—we want them to start the year out on a strong foot!

Overcrowded classrooms are making #PersonalizedLearning a pipedream. However, 1:1 #edtech devices and data analytics skills can help #K12 teachers create a personalized learning experience that works for each student. https://t.co/1A3XzZ2b1e

This infographic on teachers' views on ed tech in the classroom touches on my favorite benefit of ed tech: expansion of content. The sky is the limit when you can share the world with your students on a screen! https://t.co/OYtefr9QY7 via @EdTech_K12 #edtechknow

"But curriculum mapping doesn’t have to be a beast—it can help make your life easier in many ways, by helping you to set realistic expectations for your students and manage teaching a complex subject over an extended time."

@Mrs_Barrett7 Same here! I just need to continue to implement and life will become much easier after!

[Sheldon Knutson @knutson_sheldon]

Here's a fantastic resource I found which shows how to effectively implement a rubric into Google Sheets! https://t.co/LCvNa8TiVg #SMULDT622

[Sheldon Knutson @knutson_sheldon]

Being that I rarely use Google Sheets, I can see how conditional formatting is a life saver! #SMULDT622

[Sheldon Knutson @knutson_sheldon]

Currently working on revamping/recreating my classroom website. It's great to see how intuitive Google Sites is compared to the previous website I used! #NoBrainer #SMULDT622
