I really enjoyed AVID SI Baltimore. General Seaaion yesterday was AMAZING. My CoP was fantastic. I'm feeling rejuvenated and inspired to do great things this year. The possibilities are endless.

Day 1 I learned all about xhewra and celebrations. INCREDIBLE like the...HULK. Day 2 Currently learning how educators can promote student agency.

@GJSMSLibrary@weebly@facebook I agree. I have learned so much about blogging with the Weebly that we've created for this class and I think it is user-friendly enough for our students to use.
A6: scaffold sharing of ideas through schoology, create a blog/message board to share ideas more globally. Invite teachers of similar classes to share the blog with their class and have students do a peer review of thoughts. Math error analysis w/ dotstorming #digitalcitizenship
@TR2Pato how great would it be do have your student communicate through Schoology with students in one of your colleague's classes. I wonder if it is possible to hold joint discussions
A5: Modeling appropriate digital interactions. Create a blog shared among colleagues and explain how their teachers maintain a positive digital-image. Create a discussion board in schoology to practice appropriate digital interactions in contained setting. #digitalcitizenship
A4: invite a colleague to come in and interpret what a prospective employee's social media presence says about them as a person, have students review teacher made profiles. Are posts selfies, links to academic topics, collection of art? Facilitate discussion #digitalcitizenship
A3: Students have the opportunity to engage with others outside their classroom. They can present an idea, have it challenged and then discourse can result in a more refined idea. The challenge is students may start with inappropriate ideas and miss the point #digitalcitizenship
@GJSMSLibrary I agree. I didn't think of either of these because I haven't experienced that with my students but I know in research based classes, some of my colleagues do spend a lot of time on evaluating sources and properly crediting references.
A2: I think in schools we are addressing how students can express their voice through blogging often. I think we focus less on how our students interact within their school, district, national communities. #digitalcitizenship
A5: We have been doing restorative practices so I have circle time regularly and that replaced my former drill/opener. Q1 is always how are you feeling and sometimes why and then transition into student Qs or academic Qs and I like @GoNoodle for breaks #2pencilchat
@mr_abee_tweets There are so many great uses for legos in education. I had a PD workshop back in March and brainstormed all sorts of STEM projects with them but unfortunately my current students aren't ready for legos. Have you had that issue. Maybe I could use in small groups by invite only
@killyalison@StudyIsland I also like to do stations. Does your school endorse @StudyIsland or is that a free service? One of the schools I used to substitute in years ago had access to it but I haven't heard much in my current school system about it.
A4: My go to Math tools are @HMHCo and @DiscoveryEd. I really like our GoMath digital text through Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and I supplement with activities and practice from the @DiscoveryEd Math Techbook regularly #2pencilchat
