@ScottbMr I also found this source. I never really thought about how the immediate positive reinforcement of passing a test you crammed for the night before encourages you to do it again. It definitely made me reevaluate my work and study habits! #6711SM3

@AliFazzio This reminds me of the clip from the show Big Bang Theory. I thought you might enjoy this as well!

@sheltech6710 I love how you were able to find a video source. I think it helps having a variety of sources, rather than just text. I know my 5th graders are highly engaged in videos, but I think adult learners are as well! #6711SM3

Interesting points specifically regarding technology #6711SM3

@LATeacher6th I've tried online discussions with my students, as well as posting pictures and videos to different online resources. This was a big risk for me because I had to put a lot of trust in my elementary school students and set my expectations! #6710DB2

[mrs.castillo @mrscastillo15]

As the educational world changes, teachers must be willing to take risks. New technology platforms and resources are new to most of us, and it presents new challenges for both teachers and students. Still, we can't improve if we don't try new things. #6710DB2

@tdiimmelcteatc When schools started moving to Facebook and Instagram as platforms for communicating with parents, I had a hard time seeing it as professional. As the shift towards Web 2.0 tools continues, I have to shift my mindset as well #6710DB2

[mrs.castillo @mrscastillo15]

@Teach_High_Mack I also struggle with trying to perfect my lessons and the stress of technology not cooperating! Now that I'm in my second year of having 1:1 devices, I'm becoming more comfortable with my students taking over to fix problems or switching to other online resources #6710DB2
