@TravisELA23 I could no agree more with you! Having students create websites about the things they like can encourage them to be creative, and it can also motivate them to develop their writing skills. #UCF21literacies
Putting together my research portfolio was truly a learning journey because I discovered so many different resources, and now I cannot wait to use them one day in my future classroom. I also discovered that I am not as tech savvy as I thought I was lol! #ucf21literacies
I think reflecting on what went wrong and what went right during the year can have a tremendous impact on our teaching because it helps us to improve not only our teaching techniques but also our relationship with our students. #ucf21literacies
Summer is a great time to take stock of past successes and challenges - which will help you start the new school year off right. Curl up with a notepad and pen for these three simple reflective activities. https://t.co/CSOAU9ZJzy
When students feel in control of what they are learning, they are more curious to learn, and that helps them to develop responsibility. #ucf21literacies
One way to get kids to behave is to give them autonomy and responsibility.
“Kids are so driven by what's fair and what's unfair. And that's why the more power you give kids, the more control you give them, the more they will step up.”

@DevonMocilnikar I had a similar experience during my techno fast. In the end I realized that most of the time I used Instagram because I am bored. I would like to try this with younger students, I think this topic would make an interesting discussion #UCF21literacies
@AudreyWiseELA I couldn’t agree more with you. Popcorn reading makes most students feel very uncomfortable, which discourage them from reading. #UCF21literacies
@Veronic91239384 When I was doing my technology fast I was constantly looking at my phone, but at the end it was an Interesting experience so I hope to do something like that with my students one day. #UCF21Literacies
As part of my Mindful Twitter PLD: Techno Fast, I am giving up Instagram and Pinterest for two days because those are the two social media sites I use the most. #ucf21literacies
Tech tools are incredibly helpful when teaching ESOL students especially tools that promote communication and collaboration. #ucf21literacies

@ms_ngarcia This is such a great idea! As teachers we should reflect what went right throughout the year, and also the things we have to work on. #ucf21literacies
I completely agree with you! It is important to encourage our students to do their best, but not to the extent that they feel like a failure if they don't succeed. We should teach students that making mistakes is part of the process #ucf21literacies https://t.co/s3ljQUjd8A
@DanielJRaines1 I think you can increase expectations to an extent. Otherwise you'll just get stressed out students, then everyone loses. #ucf21literacies
This an excellent idea because the students are learning while having fun. In addition, it inspire more kids to learn more about math and technology. #ucf21literacies https://t.co/rHtbYdTi3T
