🥹 Officially 💯 ISTE Certified ✅ Pedagogy 🧠 + Tech 🧰 = History 🔎🗺️💻🤓 The process required me to deeply analyze the scope of my work, challenging and validating my practice, and then invite others into my context with my portfolio. #ISTECert #EdTech #SanJacLearns

Valuable learning and reflection at RCOE’s Excellence in Equity Conference!

[Kristine Ramirez @Ramirez_SJTech]

First week of the 2023-2024 school year ✅ It’s always a whirlwind but I loved returning to campus upgrades, seeing colleagues, and all my students! So pound of what we’re building! Jackrabbits are better, smarter, and stronger every year!

First day of @UCLAHGP Themes in World History: Power & Democracy. Lots of great discussion about what a revolution is and how that interplays with types of power, plus the focus on the MX Rev. Got me thinking about adding to @MsGreeneEdu awesome lesson (aptly reshared today) 🤓

A6: MyMaps has been an excellent tool to visualize & capture S learning layer by layer 🗺️ Using @paperlearning has been 🔑 to improving Ss annotations #SSChat

[Kristine Ramirez @Ramirez_SJTech]

A5: 🤓 @scottmpetri EduProtocols for Middle and High School History session and IE Stories (an extension of @uclahgp Eastside Stories). Looking forward to finishing my #ISTE Portfolio this summer. #SSChat

[Kristine Ramirez @Ramirez_SJTech]

“Crushed” (@religionofsport & @prx) was the perfect ⚾️ and “Norco ‘80” brought the local history. Storytelling 👌Worth the listen! #SSChat

[Kristine Ramirez @Ramirez_SJTech]

A4: Regular 🎧 @Freakonomics, @99piorg, @throughlinenpr, @planetmoney, and many many others. I love learning something new each episode + tidbits/episodes to share with Ss #SSChat

[Kristine Ramirez @Ramirez_SJTech]

A3: EduProtocol Field Guide - Social Studies Edition and the Shift to Student-Led. Great reads for teaching and enjoyment. Got a few more TBR this summer ⛱️

[Kristine Ramirez @Ramirez_SJTech]

A2: The CA NHD webinar series! Really helped me think about the whole project and better scaffold it for my Ss. Stronger project submissions were promising 🤩 #SSChat

[Kristine Ramirez @Ramirez_SJTech]

A1: Introducing US History with 🏚️“America - An Old House and an Infrared Light” (Wilkerson, 2020) and then revisiting it throughout the year #SSChat

Celebrating Ss for their learning and growth is my favorite 🤩 End of the year awards🏆 were a hit!

[Kristine Ramirez @Ramirez_SJTech]

My favorite part was seeing museum visitors interacting w/ the exhibit in the background while getting the bonus facts in the chat from our moderator while our docent took us around. The Ss loved the artifact cases and asking questions. Such a fun way to end the unit & our year!

[Kristine Ramirez @Ramirez_SJTech]

8th grade Ss enjoyed a virtual field trip to @ConstitutionCtr “Civil War and Reconstruction” exhibit today. Grateful for these live opportunities for students to experience & connect with experts! I wish more museums had these experiences! #ISTECollaborator

[Kristine Ramirez @Ramirez_SJTech]

Need something after state testing? I used ChatGPT to make quick(er) work on an end of the year breakout. ChatGPT created the scenario & turned the chapter summary into a short reading. I created a Form w/CFU ?s & clues to complete it. Ss had a blast working in groups to solve!

[Kristine Ramirez @Ramirez_SJTech]

A little surprised when Ss asked “who is your favorite character?” You mean in the originals, the prequels, the new ones, the shows? I only get one?!? While I love Yodito, I think R2D2 takes it #May4thBeWithYou

[Kristine Ramirez @Ramirez_SJTech]

@MsGreeneEdu @paperlearning 😔 I’m so sorry to hear this! You really helped me think differently about how I could utilize PAPER more (& better) as a history teacher. This is a loss for them, as your 🌟 will shine in another venture. Thanks for all you’ve shared and best of luck!
