After watching emotional body cam video of a @UCF police officer help a suicidal student at the top of parking garage, a student on @UCFChiefMetzger's advisory council suggested posting signs with mental health resources in garages.

Now those signs are helping save more lives.

Thank you to Campus Locators for offering guidance to more than 3,500 Knights navigating their way across the @UCF campuses — including @UCFDowntown & @rosencollege! Many students were coming to campus for the first time, making the Campus Locators more important than ever!

A sad reality is that far too many students define success in school as achieving good grades.

We must ensure students AND parents know #education is so much more than just good grades.

Thank you so much! I felt like the inforgraphic gave the website a nice touch, and encompassed the idea of a 21st century classroom.

[Ms. Garcia @ms_ngarcia]

@TeachingItWrite I have to say yes. In my past, teachers have forced the notion of only speaking, reading, and learning in English when I had no idea how to as a child. Allowing students to use their native language to understand and then apply English helps that process.

[Ms. Garcia @ms_ngarcia]

Finished my website! Super proud of how amazing it turned out. I hope to use this for the years to come. This course has really taught me how to use technology as a tool to enrich my life, I hope to do the same for my future students. #ucf21literacies https://t.co/OoT4vczEK5

Our UCF researchers are entering the Quantum Age 🤯

Instead of using silicon to advance technology they are finding new quantum materials that have the ability to use and store energy at the subatomic level 🔋

Congrats to my colleagues who are starting their internships or starting their classrooms! Create your list of all the little things you want your students to walk away with. Look at this list to remind yourself what you want to accomplish as an educator. #ucf21literacies

Remember, says T @NoraButlerKirst: You'll get a lot of #WednesdayWisdom from your new colleagues, but you also bring your own to the table. #ntchat #FirstYearTeacher

I recently came across a teacher's journey who used Instagram as a way to communicate with her students. It really goes with the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words". #ucf21literacies
