I am trying to keep my classroom fun, Thursday is all about me trying: https://t.co/QsNQ4MYdhw for math problems. I think it is a wonderful tool to use for new problem types and they include great videos! What do y'all use for extra math problems? #parkedtech

I am trying to keep things fun in my classroom! Wednesday is all about me trying out https://t.co/jSSh9ubdg8
Although I think it should be used sparingly, it is a great resource for all teachers who need to get new ideas for math problems. What do y'all use for math? #parkedtech

I am working on keeping things fun in class! Tuesday was Peardeck, I attempted to make a Peardeck for a 6th grade math lesson. Turns out, I am not good at Peardeck! What have y'all tried for keeping students interested in math?! #parkedtech

I am working this week on keeping things fun in the classroom, Monday was Kahoot Quiz day! I made a new one for my first week of school as a "Get to know your teacher" What do y'all do to keep things fun in class? #parkedtech

Check out my video on Blooket! This is just a short intro to using it, I cannot suggest this tool enough!! https://t.co/xJzrF99wOH

@MissTateMidkiff My first initial Ah-Ha was similar to your first one. I really liked it, but decided to change it, since you already did it. Most people think that good ideas just "pop" into everyones heads quickly, but instead they time lots of time to be "perfected"

@MrsBisfromKC Learning helplessness is one of the hardest parts of our job, but if you can find a way to motivate students to think for themselves, you are going to help them see that NOBODY is helpless!

@birnell_mw I feel that the "old school" teaching has its benefits, but we have to start changing the way we are doing things, otherwise we will never see the next generation actually change the world, they will just rinse and repeat it all. Love your thoughts!

[Mr. Ross @MrRoss6th]

My two ah-has: 1) We have built our education around the "fast food" model. Everything is the same for each student. 2) Anything can be a teachable moment, don't get stuck in the rut of what you know, you must expand, and use any moment as a teachable moment! #parkedtech

With the end of the school year fast approaching, don't forget to tell your students how much you enjoyed this year, they need it more than you know! #teachinglife

@birnell_mw Love the sweaters and pants!

[Mr. Ross @MrRoss6th]

With state assessments happening all over, don't forget to take a break and have fun in class! #funclassroomslearn

[Mr. Ross @MrRoss6th]

@SarahCo9318 I always try to have "fun days" in math where we play math games like Blookets or Kahoots!

@MikeDoney74 Love this! We have shout-outs going on this week! #singleoutyourpraise
