Pursuing my Masters in #elementaryed @austinpeay. #Spanish is my second language. Working to become an #ESLTeacher🥰

[Shelby Hostettler @ms_hostettler]

A2: Just checked out @MicrosoftEDU's education center and I love that there are so many course and learning path options from teaching #coding to making #DiversityandInclusion a priority in the classroom. #ap3040

[Shelby Hostettler @ms_hostettler]

The learning paths I am most excited about pursuing are the #inclusiveclassroom foundation and specialization and 21st century learning design! #ap3040 #MicrosoftEDU

[Shelby Hostettler @ms_hostettler]

A1: I did not realize how many online opportunities there are for #professionaldevelopment! @ColorinColorado is one of my favorite resources for recent articles, policy, and best practices concerning #ELLs. #ellteacher #ap3040 #GovsTeach

A1: Computer and projector + #GoogleChromebooks + @Nearpod = MAGIC🌠 This set up can empower 2nd grade #ELL students to explore U.S. geography through Nearpod's VR feature while meeting @TNedu standards for #socialstudies and developing language of social studies #WIDA . #ap3040

Giving the survey verbally, adding picture answers to the #GoogleForms, and/or giving the survey in the students' native language(s) would be great accommodations for #ELL students who are still developing English literacy skills. #ap3040

A1: I am excited about using #edtech to get to know my students. So important for effective instruction! Thanks @drzimmerle for the idea to use #GoogleForms to gather student interest and other student info to inform classroom instruction! #ap3040 #GovsTeach

@MrsMHatfield These are great, engaging PBL opportunities for your students! #ap3040 You might find some additional ideas in this article from @edutopia about how to incorporate PBL in your U.S. Gov classroom in authentic, motivating ways: https://t.co/mmLGge1Rlm

@ESleadd Thanks for introducing me to #GoogleExpeditions! Just researched it and found this article on how it was used in an actual classroom! It gives tips on planning, using, and having students reflect on VR and AR experiences. #ap3040 https://t.co/v4P15XGpUu

[Shelby Hostettler @ms_hostettler]

A2: What better way is there to promote diverse perspectives in the classroom than to connect students directly to kids just like them in different parts of the world? #GridPals on @Flipgrid makes this task possible, easy, and safe for students through video interactions! #ap3040

[Shelby Hostettler @ms_hostettler]

A1: #GeniusHour is a great way to engage students of all subjects and grade levels in #PBL. Particularly for K-5 #ELLs, this concept combining PBL and personal interests is sure to boost intrinsic motivation for language learning and peak the curiosities of young minds! #ap3040

[Shelby Hostettler @ms_hostettler]

A2: #DistanceLearning makes checking in with students more difficult. @googledocs can serve as a great substitute for traditional dialogue journals and the Voice Typing feature makes it accessible to ELLs who struggle with writing/typing. #ESL #ellchat #GovsTeach #ELL #ap3040

[Shelby Hostettler @ms_hostettler]

A1: Just watched this video on remote teaching with Google. #distancelearning Loved the suggestion on using the Select-to-Speak function to highlight important online text and have the text read aloud to students. This would be great for K-5 ELLs! #ap3040

Superintendents, whether school is in person or online, focus on staff morale. The adjustments/transitions over the past few months & now this fall are incredible. And don’t just focus on morale but their mental & emotional health too. Teachers need to feel safe and supported.

[TESOL Intl Assn @TESOL_Assn]

Teach your students the skills to interact with the police and what happens when they stop their vehicle or speak with a police officer. They will feel confident about how to act and what actions could be misinterpreted. https://t.co/oCvex2CHPA #TESOL #TEFL #TESL

I'm excited to experience how #Twitter can help me connect with other #eslteachers and #elementaryedteachers through this assignment for my #apsu3040 course @austinpeay with @drzimmerle! Please share resources for #esl #globaled #edtech and #elementaryed. Thank you! #GovsTeach🌎
