Learning is my passion and profession, specifically the study of literature. I like big books, and I cannot lie!

How do you stop cheating on assessments in virtual learning? @tguskey says . . . change the purpose of assessments. Teachers who make assessments about feedback and learning rather than about accountability and grading get more authentic responses. #AODL https://t.co/pKFPqnTntK

@MissHaskins_ I hear you. Go to courses—> all courses and unstar the ones you don’t need in the dashboard. The ones you don’t need to go to daily. That will help clear your space.

Ummm I am totally thinking of the lenses of Romeo and Juliet argument. Definitely a resource to return to!

[John Meehan @MeehanEDU]

How am I only JUST NOW discovering the wonders of @KialoEdu?! Big ups to @mrmatera for introducing me to this brilliance. A fantastic online tool for debate with real-time analytics and a SUPER easy to use interface for students in class or at home!

I would have to rethink a teacher-led station to allow for me to pop between breakout rooms. I have loved teaching with stations and am looking forward to adapting them for the virtual world.

Lots of teachers have been talking about digital bulletin boards but this might resonate more with Ss

[Gerrie Robards @RobardsVPHS]

Thanks @MeehanEDU for creating a lesson that included student choice,technology, and SEL. This Get to Know You Activity provided a lot of insight and talking points for our first week of virtual learning.

[Courtney Lewicki @lewickiEDU]

I love when simple solutions like “use grid view” come up

[Shana 👩🏻‍💻 @shanateaches]

How to use a Breakout Room Note Taker in Google Slides:

1️⃣ Set link to “Anyone can edit” & drop in chat
2️⃣ Students work in breakout groups & take notes on their assigned slide
3️⃣ Teachers monitor activity from Grid View in Slides

ELA teachers especially will love Matt's work.

[PWCS @PWCSNews]

Will students have set times required to meet w/ teachers, watch videos, turn in assignments? Yes. We will provide daily & weekly schedule to provide some structure for students & family to use, w/ the understanding that there should be flexibility that distance learning provides

[Courtney Lewicki @lewickiEDU]

Haha 😇

@missbDJO @Screencastify Let me know if you need any help!

[Courtney Lewicki @lewickiEDU]

Shout out to @Screencastify for making premium features free for educators! I was waiting for this!

[Courtney Lewicki @lewickiEDU]

@misskatiemyles That’s a great idea! Could you share it in our department discussion board?

[Courtney Lewicki @lewickiEDU]

Cause I sent this to my kids. Sometimes we need a boost too. #positivity #distancelearning

[anna spargo-ryan 🍉 @annaspargoryan]

I'm an online-only teacher. I thought it might be useful to tweet a wee thread of things that help me and my students to learn in this environment, as more and more will enter online learning for the first time.

@MeehanEDU @MrKoz31 @DHelmEDU

[Courtney Lewicki @lewickiEDU]

🧐 I think this could be the beginnings of something...🤔

[The Standards-Based Classroom @SBclassroom]

Do you assign reading or other input notes? Here's a benchmark sheet for Critical Reading, a transferable skill that helps Ss unlock meaning at a variety of levels. Benchmark sheets help Ts figure out what we want & communicate it to Ss. https://t.co/zgH0sVXhKd

It is with deep sorrow that we mourn the loss of dear friend and beloved teacher Monica Stabile. She was a true witness of Christ's love. Join us for mass in the student chapel today at 11:30. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. @OConnellHS
