Just because I teach history doesn't mean I live in the past.

[Dr. Lisa Corbin @CorbinL45]

Chromebook Tip: Want to have your students see their work and your Zoom/Google Meet? Have them press [ and ALT at the same time. They’ll get a split screen with 2 tabs. #LeaderEd #edchat

These are wonderful themes! Themes are a great idea for students to make powerful connections. I really like the History & You theme.

[Kathryn Greene @MsGreeneEdu]

This year I am taking a thematic approach to World History.

My hope is that by doing so I will stop making Europe the central narrative of my World History class and create a truly world narrative.

Here are the units of study:

I love this visual! In the first week of school, my students and I always have a discussion about why it is important to study history. I will definitely be linking to this! #historyteacher #Connections

[OER Project @OERProject]

You could probably spend all day making connections between past events and today’s headlines. What connections have you found?

[Allison G @perception_c]

@mikewhopkins Have you tried @voicethread? Students can add images, text, and voice. The best part is that other students can reply as well! #SSChat #RemoteLearning

[Allison G @perception_c]

@Catlin_Tucker A2: Has anyone used the @WordFoto app? Where students (and us teachers) use a selfie of their choice and fill it with characteristics about themselves? I was thinking about using this to create a visual of our classroom. #SyncUpChat

[Allison G @perception_c]

Yay! Popplet is a fun way for students to visualize what they've learned. I feel that the YouTube feature wasn't always free, so I'm excited to share this! #DistanceLearning #ConceptMaps #Popplet

[Popplet @poppletapp]

Easily embed YouTube videos into your popplets to create unique and dynamic lesson plans, timelines, or presentations. #popplet #mindmap

Not alone at all. Sometimes I feel that school is all I'm thinking about. I use the summer to regroup and refresh, but I'm wondering how this will impact my teaching this year being stuck in the loop of "recovering and preparing"

[Josh Stumpenhorst @stumpteacher]

I will freely admit that during the summers, I "check out" from school. Yet, this summer I feel like the school year never ended and I'm stuck in a loop of recovery and preparing. Am I alone in that one?

[Allison G @perception_c]

@riley_sjo I'm planning for all electronic so I can work with students and their confidence with online tools and in case school plans change throughout the year

[Allison G @perception_c]

Great video for inspiring grit after failure, building something from nothing, and hope for whatever challenges are ahead of you. All that in 4 minutes! Thanks @visionchasers #LetMeTry

Wow! This is amazing @isabeljmorales! Great layout and ideas for a unit outline. Students can go at a daily pace or even work ahead. Curious if you would you create a @Screencastify for how to use the digital notebook or work with students through @GoogleMeet2 or @zoom_us.

[Isabel Morales, EdD @isabeljmorales]

Digital notebook is setup and ready to go! 😍
I modified a scrapbook template from @SlidesManiaSM and designed tabs and page layouts that would work for the routines in my class. Feel free to use & modify!

Educators who have @Schoology - is there a preference for a one-stop-shop location for resources and assignments? There's many #GoogleClassrooms all over social media, but I'm curious if they're using schoology. Is it a personal preference or district-mandated? #DistanceLearning

[Allison G @perception_c]

Yessss!!! After downloading the #Bitmoji to Google, I was a tad overwhelmed with where to start. This is a great resource with many helpful tips and tutorials.

[Lisa Mazariego @MazariegoLisa]

I am excited to share my Bitmoji “Tool kits” with you. Each slide is themed and includes three tutorials and a freebie to help you at any level of your Bitmoji journey.

This sounds fun! It's interactive, engaging, and each student gets to participate and compete. For history class, I could see myself using this for students to gather different types of evidence & sources or to go on a #goosechase within a source. #DistanceLearning

[Kris Szajner @KSzajner]

By giving them choices to various web tools, not only do students have more ownership of their learning, they can experiment & build their expertise. Great organization - very helpful to educators searching for tools to reach learning objectives. #StudentChoice #DistanceLearning

[Make💡Design💡Innovate @christinekdixon]

If students all learn differently, shouldn't we give them a choice in how they represent this learning?

Here's 1st iteration of my Show What You Know choice board made for Ts & Ss. Stay tuned for links to innovation tutorials

One of my favorite quotes to tell students. Education is theirs to own, improve upon, & work hard for. It is within you. Not the haters, not your ex, not your bestie, not your parents - YOU own it. You get to decide where, what and how far you want to go with it. Just beautiful.

[TED-Ed @TED_ED]

Education is empowerment.

Thanks @edutopia. Not only did this validate my feelings about this coming school year, but it started getting the wheels flowing for ideas of what to organize. I've been hesitant to even start, but this article gives useful guidelines #SmallSteps #DistanceLearningStrategies

[edutopia @edutopia]

Here are some strategies for being intentional about building in flexible components from the start of the year on—whether in school, online, or a little bit of both.
