@g_brgmn What a pain for the poor employee. The intent of the sign is obvious, and now some smart-ass little kid is wasting your time and mental energy over a dollar.

#EDU310final laptops are simultaneously one of the most versatile resources available to students, while also being THE Most powerful distraction. If classroom norms do not take laptops to count, laptops will become a menace in the classroom. This is something I have seen happen.

#EDU310final as teachers, we should not be afraid to go “off the rails”, as this may open us up to interesting new experiences that we can learn and grow from.

#EDU310final never underestimate the amount of value visual representation can have her students in any subject area, especially during particularly dense lessons or units.

#EDU310final adding passion to your teaching (engaging emotion) is something the students can recognize and appreciate in the classroom. Why should a student show interest when the teacher doesn’t? How are ways that you will show your passion in the classroom?

@pernilleripp Computers are VERY helpful, but there will always be things a computer will never be able to do. This is one of those things.

@irishmags26 @donalynbooks Sadly, there are teachers out there (who I have experienced) that CHOOSE to use practices like this. It really is sad. #EDU301

@JLafi99 Pre assessment can help with this! #EDU310

@jessefarris_ Versatility should never be undervalued!

When it comes to planning a lesson, keep your students in mind first. It can be all to easy to “get fancy” with a lesson plan, making it appealing on paper, only for students to not connect with it. The complexity of a plan matters far less than student interest! #EDU310

@Jess5th “Treating” children who are just products of a broken system is fair to no one involved. These kids should be shown the respect they deserve yet so rarely receive. #EDU310

What I learned today: making rubrics is not as simple as I always assumed. From choosing measurable verbs, to deciding how to weigh criteria, there are many decisions to make. #EDU310 #education

@WeinsteinEdu After hearing a multitude of pretty scary things from teachers I’ve observed, one of my greatest fears as a future teacher is dealing with parents. When I was in high school, my parents always were respectful to my teachers, guess I assumed everyone did that.

@MattTheMathGuy @MsSpinello @iteachmathAll It’s so easy to waste entire weeks on review, especially at the start of a school year. You could use this to get a class to be energetic from day 1.

@AlexSVenet I hope I one day get to see moments like this

@parallax55 @MakeThemMastrIt @TheStoppelsShow @brookssensei If you buy a lesson from TPT, you do your job, but don’t get any better at constructing lessons. Similarly, a cheating student does their job (gets a good grade) but doesn’t learn anything.

@stumpteacher Wellness centers treat symptoms, not the cause. The fact that wellness centers are considered at all is telling.

[Jacob.Wathen.Official @OfficialWathen]

@TheWeirdTeacher I feel like this is the kind of thing where you just have to accept that it doesn’t apply to you and move on. Even at the college level, I could name multiple teachers who need to see tweets like this.
