Aspiring 6th grade math teacher and coach

Looking for some great apps or tech that can help with expanding my Professional Learning network. Connecting with others is how we learn best, especially in education. #tch410 #mathed #teacher #education

Being a great and successful teacher requires thoughtful planning to engage students in meaningful tasks that guide them towards learning targets. To do this teachers must get to know their students, set high goals, and constantly reflect on their teaching. #TCH401 #401reflection

@rickwormeli2 What is the most important thing to keep in mind when switching from traditional letter grades to standards based grading? How does this affect assessment creation?

[Ryan Billig @RyanBillig1]

To expand my PLN this week I decided to generate a playlist of videos based on “assessment”. Feel free to add any videos that expand on the idea of assessment practices. https://t.co/ex6997ppWz #tch401

Teaching is like coaching. A good coach does not let a play in the past effect the overall outcome of the game, they instead focus on the remainder of the game. Teaching should be doing the same to encourage learning instead of dwelling on mistakes. #feedforward #tch401

When thinking about the term “curating” as an educator it is important to understand to use only the BEST tools. As a math teacher, there are several ways to solve the same problem, but having students choose the BEST and most EFFICIENT way shows curation. #TCH401 #DigitalEquity

If goal setting is important for adults, then why shouldn’t it be important for students? Setting goals is an amazing way to keep people driven and motivated. Let’s start implementing this concept to our youth. #TCH401 #ISTEStandards https://t.co/zPzYxAjRpH

A great way of thinking beyond just alternate texts! Visuals have always been an important part of designing and implementing lessons.#tch401 #a11y

@TheMrRuppert @EdSurge I cannot agree more! Just like any other tool, technology is only useful when used correctly.

[Ryan Billig @RyanBillig1]

Here’s some ways I’ve expanded my PLC last week keeping my subject area of math in mind. Joined “Middle School Math Teachers” and “6th grade math teachers” on FB. Subscribed to “math ed podcast”, HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Looking forward to expanding further! #TCH401

What are some fun summer school math activities that people are doing with students this summer? #teachers #SummerSchool #math #tch401

[Ryan Billig @RyanBillig1]

When thinking about collaborating within a community, I agree with the idea of having students explore ideas through an educational journey giving them meaning to what they are learning. I will keep this in mind in future lesson planning. #tch401 #radicalcollaboration

@MsMessineo Always a good idea to start out with prime factorization, GCF, LCM as those all build number sense that will help them in future topics!

[Ms. Messineo @MsMessineo]

I accepted a job at an IB school teaching 6th grade math!! I have a lot of freedom with order and pacing so suggestions and advice for order/pacing are welcome! I’ll definitely be doing number talks.

[Ryan Billig @RyanBillig1]

@LittleBaylie I agree projects are a great way for students to interact and still learn key ideas/concepts

[Ryan Billig @RyanBillig1]

After listening to some math ed podcasts, which I highly recommend listening to, it has become apparent that I need to do a better job with allowing students to communicate amongst one another about mathematical problems/concepts.

“We know the powers of words and actions” is a great lesson idea to allow students to set their own safety boundaries online and debunk the myth of what an “online predator” looks like. #digitalcitizenship #TCH401

[Ryan Billig @RyanBillig1]

Looking to build a community of math educators here! Let me know what you guys are part of #education #Math #Teacher #mathed

[Ryan Billig @RyanBillig1]

Being a connected educator is exactly what it sounds like, being connected. Being connected with the outside word as well as being connected with students, and colleagues all working together, rather than direct instruction. #tch401 #connectededucator

Hi, my name is Ryan and I am looking to gain a better understanding of how to incorporate technology in my 6th grade classroom in an effective manner. The main goal is how to use technology in a more meaningful way. #tch401 #tch401introductions
