That’s my fun 4th period class! 👏⛈

@amandamull As a high school teacher, I’ve found that our staff & students are all asking to keep one day a week virtual from-home next year. Teaching all-online was a nightmare, but having at least one day at home is really nice for everyone involved.

@CaitlinVanasse @NaNawrote @jonnysun Can confirm. Wingspan is great solo or with family/roommates. The art is stunning and the mechanics are solid either way.

I'm only one session into my day at #2016GCTM and am already starting to feel re-energized. 😁

The most important advice for serious dialogue and debate: mutual respect. #ForsythTLE

I'm currently reading "The Many Faces of Leadership." I love the phrase "professional restlessness!" #ForsythTLE

[Amanda H. Smith, Ed.S. @MandaTangent]

Ask students how much they understand, perhaps at the end of an assessment… they may surprise you! #forsythTLE

[Amanda H. Smith, Ed.S. @MandaTangent]

I now have my mentor arranged for #ForsythTLE. I'm excited to get started! :)

[Amanda H. Smith, Ed.S. @MandaTangent]

Now hanging in my classroom, just in time for curriculum night here at West tonight. 😊 #ForsythTLE

Hi, #ForsythTLE people! @reidmoor

Here's our Standardized Testing piece from last night - https://t.co/rDPzzMveg5

Today a student said, "Memorization IS learning, Mrs. Smith!" His classmates immediately started to thoughtfully explain why he was wrong.❤️

@math8_teacher @davidwees NCTM convention scholarships? Is that a thing?

[Amanda H. Smith, Ed.S. @MandaTangent]

@Trianglemancsd I feel like there should be a #MTBoS group on LinkedIn...

[Amanda H. Smith, Ed.S. @MandaTangent]

@davidwees @math8_teacher I know I'm not the only one! Let me know of any writing or copy editing needs and I'll help.

[Amanda H. Smith, Ed.S. @MandaTangent]

@MathEdnet @NCTM Agreed! Though we seemed to be a bit over bandwidth capacity, something >>> nothing. :)

[Amanda H. Smith, Ed.S. @MandaTangent]

@shlagteach @cmmteach @crstn85 @NCTM There are some good PDF annotation apps… and the conference app needs a redesign. It's a bit cumbersome

[Amanda H. Smith, Ed.S. @MandaTangent]

@crstn85 @NCTM We can skip the printed Daily News too... The emails were just fine by themselves.
