@JulieSiegle I keep thinking about boy v. girl brains. I know that we should look at the individual student and their needs. This conversation has been a good reminder to keep the different genders in mind when planning lessons or reacting to behaviors in the classroom.
@jenniferlfaber@JulieSiegle Those dang frontal lobes. I think about that impulsivity that my students have and that I need to remember that their brains are not fully developed like we, the teachers, think and hope they are!
@HDuehn@JulieSiegle I hear ya! It is so hard to not jump to that specific perception that we have on those stereo-types. We need to get to know our students and colleagues before predetermining their outcome based on a "snapshot" of who they are.
@cjerns17 @JulieSiegle I would agree. The Ted Talk made me reflect on my own interactions that I have had in my life and the way I interact with others.
@BGilray@JulieSiegle Me too. Technology is an awesome tool, but the impact it has on our students is enormous and something I cannot even grasp as a millennial
@SRingsred@JulieSiegle I find that trusting your gut can be a really good thing. You have a gift and it needs to be celebrate. I wish I had the ability to trust my gut instead of analyzing every little thing that comes my way.
@JulieSiegle The impact that technology is having on our schools. Humans are so quick to react or want that response because we are in that "now" generation. I hope that as educators we can come together and brainstorm successful ways to implement and have technology used in our schools.
@DeckerKathryn@JulieSiegle I totally understand where you are coming from with your struggle. In middle school, it is difficult to get students to care and see past their current reality.
@JulieSiegle I am Orange and I find this to be accurate with who I am. I find relationships and social awareness important concepts in my classroom. Being within 5 points of green I can find myself focusing on social ideas than teaching because I am influenced by my classroom environment.
@JulieSiegle Having quality friendships is an issue in middle school one of my students is not feeling accepted by peers and struggling with making friends. She is currently thirsting for friends #mediation#610AV
