@MMA_DLC @mraspinall Excellent reason! We all need more #CodeBreaker parties in our classrooms! 🤖🕺

[ECPSTechDirector @MMA_DLC]

My students would love the Robot V2 MARTY so they can have an everyday #CodeBreaker party. Building tomorrow’s innovators, creators, and critical thinkers one line of code at a time. @mraspinall @RoboticalLtd #amplifyecps

A4: Learning more, creating a strategic redelivery plan for the district, collaborating with others across the state, having fun while I learn. #NCRethinkEd

A3: "Blended Learning"-student focused instruction. Station-Rotation or Playlist with appropriate technology tools and project based learning activities to demonstrate learning. Student engagement---opposite of sit and get from sage on stage. #NCRethinkEd

[ECPSTechDirector @MMA_DLC]

@jeannietimken Miss the face-to-face engagement :(

[ECPSTechDirector @MMA_DLC]

A2: I will keep flipping the classroom so more classroom time can be used for student focused hands on activities. Flipping also allowed for time assess student understanding at start of lesson and focus on individual/small group student misconceptions #NCRethinkEd

[ECPSTechDirector @MMA_DLC]

A1: Making sure the use of technology is content driven with the ability to assess student mastery/understanding.
