Doing our best to support each other from a distance. Want to learn more about how you can help Ukraine? https://t.co/N9gQWZWXeY

Thanks Glenis Blas for pointing out the value of constant reflection in the learning process. Using those dips as thriving moments!

Another Women in Leadership session with @drfranny1! Maybe we should channel our inner Freire and spend more time together in teams naming those behaviors that build trust for group understanding

[Erika Olson @orikaelson]

Spending the evening listening to @drfranny1 share strategies to beat compassion fatigue is my self-care for the week. Thank you for your wise words - as always!

We need to develop problem finders and critical thinkers, not human databases. #FutureSkills #EdChat #Innovation #Creativity

What a pleasure to watch this inspiring unit unfold - teachers are helping Ss make global connections to learn more about the people in our world and build inclusivity

Session 2 with EKC! My favorite question from our conceptual literacy session today, "What are the ways we use writing to effectively communicate with ourselves?"

[Erika Olson @orikaelson]

@Mrs_Gilchrist @cailinminor @amb2126 @LRobbTeacher @DrMaryHoward @levi_allison42 @MathewBhavna @inspirecitizen1 @EdChatEU @MatthewXJoseph @noasbobs @ChrisQuinn64 Lucky us! What an inspiring start for our learning.

@jessmkru @shankerinst Marie Kondo everything!

[Erika Olson @orikaelson]

Building math connections to literacy: How can you translate this experience into math using all you know about the symbols and representations there? What is the meaning that the mathematician is trying to convey? Elliot Eisner on curriculum inspired me today.

#pypx2020 finished! (virtually) Grade 5 students and teachers were superheroes through the whole thing. Thoughtful persistence led to creative solutions for new challenges. Virtual tips and tricks that can be used to enhance the post-covid format!

On line learning doesn't have to be overly complicated. What matters at this time is connections with each other. A G3 persuasive letter to other schools about how we do online learning here @WAB_LIVE

[Erika Olson @orikaelson]

Wonderful! It was nice to see familiar faces sharing about their VLE path so far. My take away: making choices in the design of our virtual learning plan based on the amount of joy we can bring to our students lives. https://t.co/tapSGmtqCv

I'm creating some videos for parents with easy ways they can support their children's writing development at home. Here's a link to the first video. https://t.co/4WJvVBL14n
You can find all of the videos here: https://t.co/OLwuyosL7q
More videos soon!

[Erika Olson @orikaelson]

So many wonderful connections can be made right now. Eyes on the silver linings!

Another great resource! I love the structure for planning where to start.
