In response to the latest guidance for K-12 schools issued on Tuesday, July 27, 2021, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), GCPS has updated its back-to-school plans to require masks. Learn more here: https://t.co/meAMcFpBbr.

Reminder... If you have international travel plans for Spring Break, plan an extra week away from school or work. The CDC recommends that international travelers get tested 3-5 days after returning and self-quarantine for 7 days after travel. Learn more: https://t.co/Twbn9CQecR

Q12: This year, more than any other, was behind-the-scenes. Learning little pieces o' the tools so I could help the teachers start. Me? Just stayin' afloat, answering questions, and listening to them! #ETCoaches #AuthenticEdVentures @nmzumpano @WickedEdTech @KristinCHarr

[Mickey Stanfield @myafflatus]

A11b: Thanks to ISTE for all the support. I've never listened to so many podcasts, or read so many articles about teaching in my life! #PandemicTeaching #ETCoaches #AuthenticEdVentures @WickedEdTech @KristinCHarr @nmzumpano

[Mickey Stanfield @myafflatus]

A11: Thanks to all the vendors who allowed us extended access to their tools, whether temporary or a policy shift, during this #PandemicTeaching. 'Twas truly a boon! #ETCoaches @nmzumpano @WickedEdTech @KristinCHarr #AuthenticEdVentures

R5: I like the Improv lesson. I'm not sure where to use it, yet. But I loved the idea. #ETCoaches @WickedEdTech @nmzumpano @KristinCHarr

A10b: Plan?: With students, OneNote or shared whiteboards are excellent for planning, whether in Zoom, Jamboard, or Microsoft. Student collaborative planning needs naught but a whiteboard (and some direction). #ETCoaches @WickedEdTech @NZUMPANO @KristinCHarr

Q10: Plan?: I'm an Evernote lover who is fast being turned on to OneNote. Still like Evernote better, but OneNote is doing a lot of things right, too. Still do personal on Evernote, but work increasingly on OneNote. #ETCoaches @WickedEdTech @NZUMPANO @KristinCHarr

@WickedEdTech Google Trends is new to me. I'll check it out. #ETCoaches

A9: Go To News Sources? We use NewsELA at our school and I love it. Every kid reads the same article at the level appropriate to them. #ETCoaches @WickedEdTech @KristinCHarr @nmzumpano

R4: Feynman Project: get the kids to teach it to a kindergartner first to find out if your student really knows the information. Simplify & revise. LOVE this. Get Ss to attempt this is genius!

@nmzumpano Become a story-teller and you may be able to expand the attention-grabbing window! Either way: quick or a story: being prepared is crucial. You usually cannot wing it on the hook.

A8b: Hook?: good hooks grab student interest & if I don't find it interesting, they won't find it interesting. Hook from "real life" and not the classroom will connect best. #ETCoaches @WickedEdTech @moreruckus2 @KristinCHarr @PerkyEdu

[Mickey Stanfield @myafflatus]

A8:Hook?: Students love disasters (FAILS) - look for a fail story (not always available) and lead with that. Once the info is understood, can revisit the fail: how did misunderstanding lead to this fail? #ETCoaches @KristinCHarr @WickedEdTech @PerkyEdu @moreruckus2

[Mickey Stanfield @myafflatus]

A7: My Next Why?: Why am I including this? Time is TOO precious right now; more than ever we need to plan with the end in mind.

[Mickey Stanfield @myafflatus]

R3b: Else? Loved the multi-tiered peer review: first w/ single partner, revisit draft, then second more public class review. Never thought to combine these two. Time a problem?? #ETCoaches @KristinCHarr @WickedEdTech @ABCITech @ChristieBurnsEd

[Mickey Stanfield @myafflatus]

R3: Else?: Train students on giving feedback. I think I knew it, but who has time? Easier to slog ahead. Trained students will learn more (because they’re doing more)! Prioritize. #ETCoaches @WickedEdTech @ABCITech @KristinCHarr @ChristieBurnsEd

[Mickey Stanfield @myafflatus]

A7b: Authentic Audience: Invite the community: friend does a “shark tank”-esque project. Before present to teacher, each Stu presents to business leader from community for tips to enhance presentation. #ETCoaches @KristinCHarr @WickedEdTech @ABCITech @ChristieBurnsEd

[Mickey Stanfield @myafflatus]

A7: Authentic Audience: Provide student choice often yields an authentic audience among peers: there are (almost) always others in class concerned about similar things! #ETCoaches @WickedEdTech @KristinCHarr @ABCITech @ChristieBurnsEd

[Mickey Stanfield @myafflatus]

A5b: Fave Tool Collaborate: Flipgrid is good! MS365 is great! Depends on task at hand. Would like fewer restrictions on collaborating outside district. Locked down! #ETCoaches @ChristieBurnsEd @KristinCHarr @ABCITech @WickedEdTech
