Any teachers out there using the @InsertLearning plug-in as a formative assessment tool? I'd love to know your thoughts and ideas about how to use it best in a high school classroom! #InsertLearning #FormativeAssessment #DigitalTool

@erinhone712 A5 - Learn from others by engaging with my #PLN and getting fresh ideas on how to improve my approaches that are/aren't working #ElonEd

I think it can be difficult to stay objective when you see students struggling. When watching what could be productive struggle for my students, my gut instinct is to jump in and re-explain myself, assuming that they are just flat-out struggling. #eloned

@erinhone712 A3 - It is easy to teach in a way that mimics the way you have been taught in the past! But teaching should be a dynamic skill! Although not always easy, I think that taking constructive criticism and feeling vulnerable with new approaches is worth it in the long run. #ElonEd

For me, knowing how much English is too much English in a Spanish classroom is difficult to gauge. Opinions vary a lot, but finding the right ratio between target lang and native lang is important in foreign language education #eloned

@MrDpasion Reflecting in the moment is so important! I feel like I forget a lot after the fact, so taking a second to pause and think about what is happening is a great reflective strategy. #ElonEd

Q1: Professor Freebird asks us to reflect before, during, and after each visit to our CT's classroom. Setting goals and staying intentional during my placements in nearby schools is teaching me how I can use reflection as a teacher #ElonEd

Reflection is so important with any type of learning, but I think language learning often requires even more critical reflection. Great way to keep students motivated! #langchat #español

Getting #heritagelang sts to think about their language #proficiency today using @ElSenorCrane's charts and labels, and listened to samples in class. #langchat #ACTFL #OPI #ChiArts

What a smart way to incorporate technology and listening at the same time. Maybe you could even encourage students to upload their own recordings? #langchat

[Madame Dawn Michael @madamednmichael]

Need a way to incorporate more listening practice? I start most classes with a question on Google Classroom. Easy way to work in some listening comprehension - record myself speaking French, upload file, use as mini listening comprehension. #langchat
