Nottingham's video of The Learning Pit have you thinking "I want to do that with my classroom!" Here's an easy to follow lesson to introduce The Learning Pit to your students - https://t.co/3cIG03paPL #growthmindset #parkedtech

Keeping Learning Real, Relevant, and Relatable https://t.co/9r9NZCHYyH Make student learning real, make real-world connections, allow students to explore, and solve problems - seems so simple but not so simple sometimes? #parkedtech #keepingitreal

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

@HausEnglish YES! So much focus on standardized tests but it is hard sometimes to make the learning relative or get the students to buy into the lesson/content when it doesn't feel authentic. #parkedtech

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

@mrsalexander45 @HausEnglish Great way to give choice and stay within the unit/curriculum!

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

@MrCTaylorHMC Agreed this is a great find! I like the idea of being able to see student screens as they work. Another great way to have students collaborate and share work.

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

@TraceyKracht Agree w/ @edtech_nerd interesting idea! I like Eric's idea about how this could create a learning opp for both tchr & stu rather than X-ing the concept completely. I could see where not testing on a concept may create an issue - or is that just me?

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

@HLamas5 @willrich45 I agree with Eric @EdTech_Nerd this will be a big deal for some. It will be crucial for us to help struggling teachers by EASING them into and through this mind shift. The key will be to not overwhelm them.

❤️eureka moments....that's why I teach! @LearningPit
@JamesNottinghm Challenge student thinking, encourage growth mindset, and having those "Ah-ha" moments make this teacher happy 😀 #parkedtech

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

@EdTech_Nerd @TEDTalks Yes! I feel like if I think about student agency this as I'm planning lessons it will become less effortless in the long run. #parkedtech

https://t.co/tsg1kzJl7O "It is the job of teachers to make lessons relevant to their students."
Stu love stories of personal connection to material I teach. It's 1 way I connect w/ stu & get them interested. How do you make lessons relevant? #parkedtech

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

Relevance Definition https://t.co/AQqqwJY0qB
Can educators strive for greater relevance without changing what gets taught? #parkedtech #relevantlearning

@Campbell1610 Thanks for the overview of SeeSaw! Having no experience with this tool before I had no idea how many options it had for students and teachers.

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

@MsTucker9 Great tool! I began using this in my classroom last year - mostly as a timer or noise indicator. I had not used the media button before! I will be using it for my calm piano music in the future!!! Thanks!

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

My first official YouTube video (I'm a work in progress)! An overview of Gimkit Live - my students loved the friendly competition; I loved the teamwork students used and their excitement for reviewing material! https://t.co/iWIfgzK3mv

@EdTech_Nerd Everyone gets an education. How are you going to make sure the education you give is not the "fast food" or "cookie cutter" model? #parkedtech

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

@MrCTaylorHMC @MsBruhnELA #the3Rs I agree establishing relationships with our students is key. When they know that we care about them and their success, they are more likely to care about their own success as well.

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

@HLamas5 Yes! I often use personal connections with students who struggle to find content meaningful. When I am able to relate material to a student's personal interests, hobbies, etc. I achieve great results! #relationshipsrelationshipsrelationships

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

Use technology as a way to empower students rather than fostering what feels/appears learned helplessness. Engage students to take charge of their learning. Let them make choices about who, what, where, when and why they are learning. #parkedtech

[Heather Goeke @MsGoeke]

Sir Ken Robinson's #TedTalk https://t.co/WQ8g4YzGVz Give students choices that contain "natural learning opportunities" vs. using one size fits all instruction. #parkedtech
