The twitter chat I participated in this afternoon was energizing! Being able to collaborate and discuss ideas was a welcomed experience that allowed me to see other perspectives from different parts of the world. I hope to be able to do something like this again soon #edci338
This is such an important skill. The ability to work collaboratively is one that goes beyond the classroom. They can take their experiences and knowledge on how to work together and apply them in all aspects of their lives! #sschat#edci338
@JenniferOhteach@Owl_b_TorresEdu The opportunity to see other classrooms and how different teachers run their class is extremely valuable for new teachers. We can pick and chose practices we like to enhance our pedagogy #sschat#edci338
I think that one of the most essential skills you need to teacher not only SS, but all subjects is to be open and ready to accommodate students needs. You can have as much planning as you like, but in the end, the students needs should be met above all else #sschat#edci338
Only one question this week but it’s an important one…What are the essential skills that you teach in social studies and what resources do you use to teach them? #sschat
2 - I think this leads me to thinking about inquiry based learning. So, if a student or students bring up something that interests them and can be accommodated into my teaching, I will try and do so. Even if it wasn’t originally planned #edci338#sschat

@kyliedscott Hi Kylie! I love your addition of the think pair share. It gives students an opportunity to think deeply and connect to the content before having to share out to the whole group. Sometimes students need time to talk through ideas to really understand them! #EDCI338
@insightswithmrs Wow! What an awesome idea! This is an example of how Twitter is a great place for educators to share and collaborate on ideas and activities for the classroom! I hope to use social media in a way like your example one day in my class! #EDCI338
@TeacherKat8 Hi! I love how you’ve used the acronym STOP in your lesson! It gives the students and easier way to remember the steps and you’ve included it in a fun and engaging way! #EDCI338
@TransformT3ach Hi Anna! I love your take on how you’ve adapted this lesson. I’d love to see how this would work out in a class! Great work to you and your partner. #EDCI338
@raquellevy01 Hi Raquel! It’s so great to see that your reactivating your account! I can agree on how Twitter can be used as a tool to connect us to our students and other educators! I’ve been able to find so many relevant resources and discussions on Twitter. #EDCI338
@Ms_Rachel_Moore Hi Rachel! I too have little experience with Tik Tok but am excited about the possibilities it brings as an educational tool! #EDCI338
@JerrodBondy Hi Jerrod! I too agree about the possibility of Twitter being a means of connecting students and a place to share and find resources! #EDCI338
@zoejacobson63 Hi Zoe! I love the self assessment aspect of your lesson plan! It’s important that we give students the opportunity to reflect on their experience so that they can go beyond the surface level learning. #EDCI338
@MsWheeler12 Hi Courtnay! I love the idea of using jamboard as a tool for your lesson. It provides the students with such a rich learning and collaborative experience in the classroom. I’ve used it before and found great success! #EDCI338
Twitter is such a great place to keep up to date on news within the education world! I plan to use Twitter to follow other accounts from organizations and educators within the field to collaborate and share ideas. #EDCI338
