Played vocab BINGO with my 6th graders in our Human Environment Interaction Unit! Really fun way to reinforce vocabulary with Imagery. #gamify Thanks @historysandoval and @flippitynet! 💜
These were heavy topics.
I wanted discussion-based tasks so I used the Head-Heart-Conscience Framework from @facinghistory as their collaborative task and had the groups set norms before starting on their playlist.
The most powerful feature that Twitter has:
Advanced search
Until recently I hadn't even heard of it, but now I use it all the time.
Here are 6 twitter advanced search features that will revolutionise the way you search for what to read: 🧵👇

A century ago, a prosperous Black neighborhood perished in the Tulsa Race Massacre at the hands of a white mob. Hundreds were killed. Buildings burned. Years of Black success were erased.
We recreated the neighborhood in 3D to show what was lost. https://t.co/WapNTamw0K
@GMcKinney2@MrRondot Yes! It's so important to teach what scares us, to really listen to students' ideas, and to lean on community experts for support! ❤️
I was initially afraid to teach b/c I don't know everything, but it's not about being the "sage on the stage," it's about facilitating kids' expertise. I can't wait to read The Expert Effect to learn new ways to help kids become the experts! #experteffectedu@MrRondot
📚🚀The Expert Effect is here!!! After 2 years in a shared Google Doc, it’s surreal to hold the proof copy in my hands. Our book is now available for pre-order on Amazon. 2 weeks away from the official launch, May 17th @GMcKinney2#ExpertEffectEDU ⬇️ https://t.co/GcKsETPHKC
There is an intense obsession with “catching kids up.” That framing misses the mark. It inherently implies that kids are operating at a deficit. The goal should be to meet kids where they are at, differentiate to their academic and social-emotional needs and cultivate mastery.
Grades shouldn’t be gates.
Learning doesn’t end when dates pass & data are entered. Learning lingers & lives—it grows. And if kids want to return for another chance, a gate shouldn’t block their way. In truth, there should be a welcome sign above every door.
It’s our door.
@williamjones222 This is spectacular! What an incredible use of @Minecraft to imagine improvements in the safety, efficiency, and sustainability of the Gerald Ford Airport!
Digital Escape Rooms have been the BEST end of the year activity. My in-person students are competing against my virtual students in an Ancient Rome escape room! @FirstAveMS@ArcadiaUnified
