I took a computer science class in high school; probably the most I ever learned in a class. I recommend any @LongwoodCSD student to take I.M.A. when they get to high school. As we progress into the future, computer literacy and learning more than just the basics is CRUCIAL!!

“This sense of control was comfortable for me, but I knew something had to change.” Love this, just because something is comfortable doesn’t mean it cannot be improved. Always strive for more, well done Nicole! #TheDEVLeader #LIUEdTech @Jennmaich @whittneysmith_

“Flexibility of furniture” is extremely important. I’m a teacher that loves to do collaborative work and have my students move around the classroom. This is so much easier if furniture can be reorganized without much issue! #TheDEVLeader #LIUEdTech @Jennmaich @whittneysmith_

I’ve never been a coffee person, but when I was in college Starbucks was where I’d go to do all my schoolwork! Learning Environment matters. #TheDEVLeader #LIUEdTech @whittneysmith_ @Jennmaich

Thank you @Miss_SSanchez for coming to our class tonight to share your expertise on all things badge books! #LIUEdTech @Jennmaich

As a young teacher, how do you approach implementing a 21st century curriculum or an idea like badges? #LIUEdTech

[Mr. Solero @MrJSolero]

Whenever I give assessments, I rely on student choice. Every student has strengths and weaknesses; use that to your advantage! This is one of the major benefits of taking the time and effort to learn about your students….. #DEVLeader #LIUEdTech @Jennmaich @whittneysmith_

DBAs (Discussion Based Assessments) are the future of education. How do we truly assess student progress and understanding? How do we make sure that progress and understanding is valuable? #DEVLeader #LIUEdTech @whittneysmith_ @Jennmaich

[Mr. Solero @MrJSolero]

Why is the focus always content? As educators, having the ability to connect with and prepare your students for life outside of the classroom is far more important. Intellectuals > content specialists #DEVLeader #LIUEdTech @whittneysmith_ @Jennmaich

Did I really start kindergarten in 2003?😳 #LIUEdTech #DEVLeader

“Evolution not revolution” is such an interesting and important concept. We don’t have to reinvent the wheel, just simply improve on it and adapt. I used @canva to share @NaglersNotions beliefs on the matter! #LIUEdTech #DEVLeader @whittneysmith_ @Jennmaich

I believe I am a passive positive leader. This is the visual I produced to prove it using @Apple Keynote! #LIUEdTech #DEVLeader @Jennmaich @whittneysmith_

One of my favorite movies, I can definitely agree that Billy Beane was an Active Positive leader. However, after 20 years (real life), the Athletics have not come close to winning a championship (the ultimate goal). Maybe Beane is starting to become, dare I say, passive?🤔

While it’s great that over 250k iPads were purchased during the pandemic, I wish there was initiative BEFORE there was a NEED. The pandemic will serve as a lesson for education departments all over the world. #LIUEdTech #DEVLeader @Jennmaich @whittneysmith_ @NaglersNotions

Happy to announce I’m a level 1 Kami Certified Educator! What a great tool to use in the classroom @KamiApp

"What is the best work you've ever done?" What themes emerged from our stories? #effort #purpose #persistence #productivestruggle We are always most proud of the work that we actually had to WORK FOR. #liuedtech

[Mr. Solero @MrJSolero]

Decided to take a break from social media the past couple weeks. Everyone needs a fresh reset! Figured I’d end my hiatus by announcing I am now an Apple Teacher! I’m super excited to use all of their excellent tools to my advantage in the classroom 🍎📱💻 #LIUEdTech
