New blogpost from Messy Tech! This year I want to be more intentional about morning meetings, so I've created a list of questions for the year. If you'd like a copy, go to the blog post and click on the pic of the questions. Happy Community Building! https://t.co/OpTUU7rWBm

@KathrynSLong2 I love this so much! I just posted 50 songs one can use in the elementary classroom. Check it out! I'd love to see some of your routines! https://t.co/0sQuLxt4tS

Here is the spreadsheet with links to the lyrics to the songs I posted. They are in Google Doc form and you will have to make copies. https://t.co/KqQxrcnq4R

@Allegiant Our flight out of South Bend, IN to Las Vegas has been cancelled. We can’t get ahold of anyone at Allegiant. If we fly out of Fort Wayne instead, can we keep@our flight back to South Bend? No one was available for chat.

As promised, here are 10 songs for the elementary classroom. 🎶 More are on the way! Let me know if you want the lyrics on Google Docs. Reply with songs you use!

If you are an online tutor, have you heard of the Teach with Koala? https://t.co/K4w3b2O1BZ

It is an interactive platform with fabulous features like an interactive whiteboard, a marketplace with lessons, and my favorite part--the shared browser. Check it out! #onlinetutor

@MsRosieLMC Thanks! I'm always looking for book recommendations!

Use @BookCreatorApp to create a work/playspace for your entire unit. Takes a lot of work upfront, but it's SO nice to have as you work through your unit of study. @BookCreator_Wil @DanKemp79 #onetinytip @TeachFromRidge @jmattmiller @teachpotter @specialtechie @JenMitchellEDU

Goal 1: More games!

[Messy Tech @messy_tech]

#onegoodthing In looking for new games to use online, I came across @factile. It is a Jeopardy-type game that students can play in teams. One thing to get me excited about going back to school after break. https://t.co/P42vtKP2z1 @TeachFromRidge @jmattmiller @teachpotter

[Messy Tech @messy_tech]

@VirtualGiff @jmattmiller Wow! This is awesome. Thanks for sharing!

[Messy Tech @messy_tech]

#onegoodthing One thing about using @BookCreatorApp virtually is getting everyone into the library! 3 more of my students got in today! Yay. We are also having fun investigating our wonders on @Wonderopolis and then working in teams to put our curiosities into a BC book!

[Adrienne Britten @MsBritten1]

It’s been a creative & inspiring week!

Wrapped up our ‘exploration of identity’ with “I Am Every Good Thing” - a beautiful book by @Author_DDB & @GordonCJamesArt!📚

@teachpotter Thank you so much! I appreciate hearing your ideas. If you would share your slide deck with me, I'd be grateful.

[Messy Tech @messy_tech]

Please share ideas about how to keep students engaged during live lessons in Google Meet. I am struggling. Links to podcasts, blog posts, etc. would be appreciated! @pd4uandme @jmattmiller @TeachFromRidge @specialtechie @teachpotter @jillmclean27 @cultofpedagogy @ShakeUpLearning

[Messy Tech @messy_tech]

@teachpotter I need both, but more engagement at this point. I am using Pear Deck, Kami, Jamboard, and Nearpod, but students are super hesitant to speak up, so there are no discussions. :/ I am looking into using breakout rooms and I just signed up for an online class about online teaching.

Struggling to keep accountability for distance learners on tests? The last q had them create a flipgrid explaining their work for dimensional analysis problems. I didn’t think it would turn out this good!! Have I mentioned how much I love @Flipgrid? 👏🏽😍
