@MeredithIreland At end of 2019 I bought this journal and all throughout 2020 as I wrote in it I felt I had been way too bold.

Friday fun, engaged Ss in a football review game using #jamboard, we even stayed past our virtual bell to break the tie! #virtualteaching #wlhs

Hello everybody!

Let's begin this very special chat to help each other educate our students about the events of January 6

Please include #sschat in your tweets so we can all keep track of the conversation

[Cynthia Platou @PlatouWorld]

@AMcMahonEd Yes! Had this same conversation in all my classes today.

[Cynthia Platou @PlatouWorld]

@AMcMahonEd Great show! Thoroughly enjoyed!

[Cynthia Platou @PlatouWorld]

@bdvalente2 Same... I ask about future plans, prep for AP exams, SATs, discuss skills and strengths. I usually teach juniors so it is a good time to check in on life after high school. Also bring up opportunities in the school that Ss could take advantage of.

Thank you Mr. Nicks @WildeLakeBSAP for teaching in our virtual AP World classes today about changing the narrative of African history. We look forward to having you join us again soon! #Lakepride

Some teacher friends issued a challenge: Come up with 1-pager (no tiny type either!) that helps them & their students make better decisions on the web. Hope it's useful! https://t.co/wQ2hGsBFff

[Alpha AchieversHoCo @AlphaAchievers1]

Great information!

[Cynthia Platou @PlatouWorld]

@MsKostelecELA Have a great year with your students! Can I come to your class too? 😊

Social studies educators: The fall schedule for #sschat starts next week.

[The SSChat Network @SSChatNetwork]

We don't wish summer to end...but we can't help peering ahead to the #sschat Fall Session, which is too awesome to be contained by a single tweet!
The first two months have a heavy focus on civics & citizenship, with an eye toward equity (esp. from @taylorrcasarez & @dankrutka)

@figgyleahl @teacher2teacher I found this one several years ago at a Hallmark store but you can find similar poster size ones at Amazon.

[Cynthia Platou @PlatouWorld]

Mrs. Byars has some amazing online resources teachers, check them out!

[Kathryn Greene @MsGreeneEdu]

I really enjoyed presenting on lessons and tools that worked well for me in Remote Learning with other @cnusd history and social studies teachers!
