@AmyHolton7@isteamprof One step at a time. Start small then grow. Also knowing that it’s not going to be perfect allows you to take more chances (learned that). Having a group of people you can go to is one of the biggest things. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and just try it.
@isteamprof You set your budget. There is awesome stuff out there $$$ but also a lot of awesome things out there that cost little to no money. I think STEAM (need tech) is best when it is used with everyday objects so that students can see that what they do in class can be done anywhere.
Sometimes the best PD is watching other educators do their thing! Watching videos of STEM teachers in action helps generate ideas and see something from a different perspective. #Steamteams
just made my first class twitter hashtag. If you would have told me last year at this time that i would have a class hash tag I would have fainted! Sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone is not so bad. Professional growth #steam4youandmeCRE#Steamteams

My new favorite question probe is... what’s your reasoning? What’s your evidence? I have found that these two simple statements have helped push my students to dig deeper and think more fully. #steamteams
Fantastic weekend picking up some amazing ideas to help me get inspired! Also scored a great resource to help with my focus for creating a more engaging classroom. What do you think my focus is? #ASUISL#STEAMteam@isteamprof@AUG_University @columbiageorgia
@PunkClassrooms My students know I ♥️ books, really the way they smell. They will now bring me new books that they buy so that I can smell them 😜. They will even tell me how they got their whole family to smell that new books smell. It’s small but it really helped draw some of my kids into 📚.
@PunkClassrooms I find it easier just to ask. I also listen as they talk with friends and watch the types of books they pick. I also look to see what they tend to “doodle” that tells a lot.
@Kotsi_Kinders@KidsDeserveIt I agree! In order to have a unit or week that flows you have to spend a lot of time in the beginning mapping everything out and planning.
