Loved getting to work with every @d300CMS 6th grade student as they challenged themselves to #collaborate to solve this @breakoutEDU! @Happyteach10 @MrsGracious09 @kendall_swanson

[D300DigitalLearning @D300Digital]

@d300CMS 6th Ss “visited” an exhibit on Ancient China, but got stuck in the museum! They used #criticalthinking skills to complete the @breakoutEDU challenge, and used #collaboration in @GoogleForEdu activities to build their knowledge. #DLDay @APascoEdTech

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

Had a great time with these 6th graders as they put their problem-solving skills to the test this week in Mrs. Salifoski’s and Ms. O’Connor’s classes! @Happyteach10

[D300DigitalLearning @D300Digital]

These @d300CMS 6th graders started the semester this strong this week using their scientific knowledge and problem-solving skills to collaboratively break out of this @breakoutEDU about plate tectonics. @APascoEdTech #d300digital #d300learns #d300dlc @Happyteach10

Had a great first time at #IETC19 presenting with @JBryerton06! Enjoyed good conversations with other educators and loved this new experience. Thanks to my awesome @D300Digital team and @APascoEdTech for all the support! #d300learns #d300digital #d300dlc

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

Arrived in Springfield and ready to present at #IETC19 with @JBryerton06! Excited to share with others about research skills for students in our digital age, and ready to collaborate with other educators. #d300digital #d300dlc #d300learns @APascoEdTech @D300Digital

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

I loved collaborating with these teachers and students! It made my week when a student told me “Thanks for coming in and having fun.” #d300dlc #d300learns

[D300DigitalLearning @D300Digital]

@d300CMS 8th graders used content, #communication and #collaboration skills to complete this Ellis Island @breakoutEDU, and many broke out! Throughout the activity, students considered the challenges immigrants faced when arriving in America. @APascoEdTech #d300learns #d300dlc

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

Had fun with these @d300CMS students today as they showed their creative side in science class! #d300learns #d300dlc

[D300DigitalLearning @D300Digital]

These 6th graders @d300CMS got #creative in science class today by using @brainpop Make-a-Movie to show their #knowledge of the lunar phases! @APascoEdTech #d300learns #d300dlc

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

Had a great time with @d300CMS teachers this afternoon trying to #breakout and exploring purposeful and innovative digital learning ideas. #d300dlc #d300learns

[D300DigitalLearning @D300Digital]

@d300CMS teachers used creativity, communication, critical thinking, and collaboration to #breakout of the ISTE Student Standards Breakout! Great start to exploring the MS Digital Learning Scope & Sequence and continuing innovative learning! @APascoEdTech #d300dlc #d300learns

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

It’s been one of my favorite experiences as a #d300dlc seeing what these MS Ss can #create when they are provided with the space and the tools. So excited to see what else they can design and explore! #d300learns

[D300DigitalLearning @D300Digital]

CMS #6thgrade and #7thgrade Ss started 3D-printing their own keychains in PBL yesterday. Can’t wait to see the rest of the designs from these creative communicators! #d300learns #d300dlc #studentchoice @APascoEdTech @tinkercad @makerbot

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

I’ve definitely fallen into a few bad habits with feedback before. Good reminders (backed up with research, including from Hattie) about being student-centered and maximizing teacher time #d300learns - 6 Tips for Managing the Feedback Workload | Edutopia https://t.co/66UMiu7diF

Last slow chat! Q3: How do you plan to continue learning, sharing, and connecting on Twitter with fellow educators? #d300chat #d300learns

“Who is the best teacher in the world?

It is not a human.

It is not a computer.

The greatest teacher in the world is a human using technology to its full potential.”

@MsDMonty Thanks for sharing! WeVideo is a great tool for creation. This sounds like something even students could help create, too! #d300chat

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

Q1: Share a success you’ve had in your classroom with a digital tool #d300chat #d300learns

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

As a baker, I don’t sit down and read a recipe until I know it by heart - I bake and create, and if I like it, I’ll bake it again and again. By getting to enjoy the creative process, I memorize the recipes. So, with students, why not start with creation sometimes?

[George Couros @gcouros]

“When you focus on a deep understanding of an idea, event, concept, etc., memorization is more likely to happen long term for a learner, but if you focus solely on memorization, this doesn’t mean you understand the concept.” https://t.co/nL8vj4j1rA

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

Already made so many new Twitter connections with #d300 teachers through our Twitter for PD class! Feeling excited about our upcoming Twitter chats. #d300learns #d300dlc @MissAshleyLiss

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

I like this thought - what if we approached teaching like taking a journey with our students to pursue these questions together? Wouldn’t it be cool if the students led this journey? #d300learns

Excited to connect with other #d300 educators in our D300U class this month! Let’s explore Twitter together. @MissAshleyLiss #d300learns

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

@MireiaCabrera4 What a view! Enjoy your travels.

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

When asked if he's interested in animation as a career, he said he wants to be an actor, but he loves using Google Slides to make these animations. So cool to see this kind of creativity from our middle school students! #d300learns #d300dlc

[D300DigitalLearning @D300Digital]

A CMS 6th grader created an animation of a tornado using #GoogleSlides for his severe weather science project! Check out the short video. #d300learns #d300dlc @APascoEdTech

[Rebecca Slowik @r_slowi]

Had so much fun seeing these 7th grade students choose their own math activities today! A great example of how digital and paper activities can work together. Thanks @JSitkie for having me visit!

[D300DigitalLearning @D300Digital]

7th grade Ss chose their own math adventures today! Using choice boards in #GoogleDrawings, they created their own learning paths to practice 2-step equations. Awesome digital and paper options! #studentchoice #d300learns #d300dlc @APascoEdTech @WestfieldWolves @JSitkie
