This week I asked how my students are doing. They shared teachers are pushing through curriculum at a break-neck speed to get it all in, and students are struggling.
Let's slow down.
We need to rethink what students really need in terms of content and what's okay to let go.
I love these! Vent Diagrams (@vent_diagrams) explore the overlap of 2 statements that appear to be true & contradictory. How might we utilize these with students to support their understanding of multiple truths and confront binary thinking? https://t.co/xH3zB3k1AP #pbl#pblchat
PLEASE consider how you’re posting to Google Classroom.
One student I checked in with has received 300+ emails in 7 class days.
And please show students how to adjust their Classroom notifications.
Walk them through it. They’ll appreciate your help.
Show us your DCSD “Classroom” Pets!
We want to see your dogs, cats, reptiles - any creature who is your new “classroom” pet while you are home remote learning. Post pictures in the comments!

"Helping learners understand ‘whyʼ is a powerful potential motivator and invites them to commit to learn, rather than just comply." —@drrickabaugh https://t.co/4V7Tr6m80s #edreimagined#edchat
"How were we supposed to engage with anything if we couldn't have a conversation about it, if it was just being projected at us from the front of the room?" —@jjthil https://t.co/iJ3NRFk0on #edreimagined#stuvoice

There is a lot to learn from effective elementary school teachers in how they create safe, engaging, and productive learning environments for students - insights of a high school teacher- interesting read @edutopia

To contextualize the transformation of education, we see a paradigm shift—from the Industrial Age's school-centric paradigm to a new learner-centered, network-era paradigm. https://t.co/MRN5TfH9EO #edreimagined#edchat
"When students mentally manipulate new learning, they construct conceptual understanding and enduring, transferrable memory, forming a foundation for transfer to new applications, problem solving, and creative innovation." @edutopia

We are talking a lot about Talent development @ school for adults. What drives our interests, what are our strengths & what is our best potential future. If we can’t imagine our own best life, how can we inspire that in children. #suptchat#edchat#leadupchat#caedchat#PLNedchat
The world has never been better, but not everyone has reaped the benefits. So it’s great to see Mackenzie & @JeffBezos are launching two bold initiatives to help some of the most vulnerable people in our communities. I can’t wait to see the difference their work makes.
Maybe schools need to revamp their student presentations too! Narrative memos have replaced PowerPoint presentations at Amazon. Here are three reasons why. https://t.co/iRv4dTxpg1 #edchat#pblchat
