@membean is a fantastic vocabulary-teaching website that can engage students by challenging their vocab understandings. Teachers can create word lists, quizzes, and goals for students online! #educ331 #pstpln

@Bigler_Michelle A4: Access and adaptability are important in order to ensure that everyone is able to read your website. Opportunities can be missed if the website is not created to serve all.

[Kelley Dungan @MissDungan]

@Bigler_Michelle A3: I will make sure that I am being mindful about how text appears on the page and how a page being over-cluttered can be overwhelming to the reader. I will use colors that are easy on the eyes.

@Bigler_Michelle A2: Accessible tools makes a website easy to navigate. The toolbar is set up in a very simple way, and everything is easy to read.

[Kelley Dungan @MissDungan]

@Bigler_Michelle A1: The visual aspect that I believe will impact my portfolio the most are the links on the homepage that allow readers to jump to my resume. These aids are easy to use and make it simple for people to check out my qualifications.

@ScholasticTeach provides collections for teachers for any subject. There are multiple Scholastic classroom resources right at your fingertips!

@khanacademy is one of my favorite websites. You can find countless educational videos to show students— in my opinion, it is one of the most effective additions a teacher can make to a complicated lesson plan.

@teachercreated is an amazing organization that offers lesson plans and advice for teachers online. This is a great supplemental tool for lesson planning!

If you haven’t had a chance to engage in a seminar with @sdteaching , you should! Eric provides lots of helpful tips about how to effectively implement tools in the classroom!

Educators, @usedgov is an important organization to keep an eye on! The US DOE makes important policy decisions that affect curriculum and guidelines in the classroom.

@Addiegbecker Addie, this article talks about future challenges as a result of young students spending the majority of their lives in a pandemic. I think this will create a multitude of barriers that we will need to be mindful of and overcome in the future as educators! #pstpln #educ331

@JennaTeaches @StoryCorps Jenna, I love StoryCorps! I think this tool is really effective because students are able to share their experiences with their classmates, which helps build community and empathy. #pstpln #educ331

@pcembleton @CrazyPln Peter, engaging students with their interests is absolutely one of the best ways to get students excited about activities in class that they may otherwise find dull.

[Kelley Dungan @MissDungan]

@Mathemagician4U @CrazyPln Hi Tom, I totally agree with you that it can be difficult to find a happy medium. What tips do you have for providing just the right amount of guidance for these activities?

[Kelley Dungan @MissDungan]

@CrazyPln A4: The hardest part is giving students enough time to work through creative and analytical processes when class time may be limited.

[Kelley Dungan @MissDungan]

@CrazyPln A3: Solving engaging puzzles and riddles is fun and doesn’t make students feel like they are doing pain-staking class work.

[Kelley Dungan @MissDungan]

@CrazyPln A2: My best tip is to allow students to discuss current events in class using content that they have learned as a framework.

[Kelley Dungan @MissDungan]

@CrazyPln A1: My favorite activity that combines collaboration and critical thinking are Socratic seminars. These seminars ask questions that foster analytical thinking in students, and they have the opportunity to bounce off of each other’s ideas.

ClassDojo, https://t.co/mLISS2XOt5 , is a fantastic school communication platform that allows teachers, students, AND parents to interact through photo and video portfolios and messaging. #pstpln #educ331

[Kelley Dungan @MissDungan]

@Schoology is a great and easy to use interface for organizing lesson content. @FlipgridEvents makes it possible for students to interact when COVID makes meeting in person hard, which is very valuable. @googledocs is an online tool that is perfect for digital team collaboration.
