How can it only take one day to fall in love with a new class?!? Just this morning I was grieving for my former students and wasn't sure I had enough room in my heart for a new set. ❤️ #Iheart5thgrade
WOW! How can I love this book so much and hate the story at the same time? I wish the ugly parts of this story could be left out because the beautiful parts were so beautiful. Unfortunately, the ugly parts are way too important to be left out. #Crow#BarbaraWright#Wilmingtonriot
Did you know that with @CanvasLMS New Analytics you can leverage the "Message Students Who" feature to send out course level correspondence for a score range, missing assignments, or late assignments?
The ways you get to know your Ss may look different this school year – but that doesn't mean you can't connect.
How might you adapt a favorite get-to-know-you activity for this fall? #CultureEd#BeTheOne
Brilliant new feature from @Desmos - you can now see which slides you have given feedback on (green triangle in top right corner) AND when they have seen the feedback (triangle goes grey) all from the teacher dashboard! 🥳🤩 amazing stuff!
As a former math teacher who cares about justice, desires to be culturally sensitive, and believes in absolute truth, I find this article interesting... Does Mathematics = Western Imperialism? https://t.co/Q1N5Y6BYtv
Building Relationships: I need suggestions. I saw someone who used prompts each morning for their students to respond to. They had a theme for each day of the week and repeated the themes throughout the year. I wish I could remember where I saw it, It was a great idea! #tnedchat
A3) I've been thinking about a way to have students do some version of "show and tell" by video where we share things about ourselves throughout the year. #TnEdChat
A6) I am wracking my brain and scouring the internet for digital tools that promote collaboration. Right now I hope to use @googlejamboard, @Desmos, AWW app, @zoom_us breakout rooms, & give assignments that require students to work together even though we may be apart. #TnEdChat
A2) I hate seeing myself in pictures or videos but I'm psyching myself up 2 show my face & use my voice when communicating with my Ss digitally whether that is through directions, instruction, or feedback. I want them 2 know there is a real person on the other side. #TnEdChat
Is anyone using @seesaw and @BlackbaudK12 together? What have you learned? Since there is no built in integration what do you do? Do you have any tips or tricks?
