@AlgorithmChef @MoorefieldES @LEGO_Education @csforlcps @PaulaRWilliams3 One of my Ss said that he learned so many strategies when you visited on Monday about how to stick with the problem to fix bugs, and that those strategies made today’s build go so smoothly. They were all still a bit sad to “decompose” their projects at the end of class though.

I will strengthen relationships by being present and focusing on the whole student not just numbers on the screen. I will show I am interested in them as individuals. #loudounlearns

I became a teacher to help students find the keys to unlock all of the potential that lives inside them. #LoudounLearns

Imagine my surprise to open Google Classroom to find that not only did my co-teacher make a video for the class, but also that I apparently have a cameo in said video. Am I looking a little yellow to you or is it just me?

I am not a PE teacher—by any stretch of the imagination—but when my students requested a Workout Wednesday video, how could I say no? Please pay more attention to my Autism Awareness shirt than my (lack of) dancing skills. @MoorefieldES https://t.co/M3MkqopdCv

Students learn how to plan out their virtual Southwest field trips first on graph paper and then in Minecraft before coding their agents to create features of the region in their #pbl groups.

[Laura Lissak @lauralissak]

Students coded their agents in Minecraft to make the parts of a circle. So cool. #lcpscodes @CTTF_Joshua
