@LTHEchat I try to be passionate and motivated myself in the hopes that they will see learning as a way of living. Idealistic I know, but I think it rubs off on a few! #lthechat
@LTHEchat A2 Students fall into this category when they are genuinely interested in the subject or a particular lesson and will often stay on task, motivated and are eager to succeed. #LTHEchat
@WilsoJS I second this. Most of my intrinsically motivated students are motivated by post school goals. Students also fall into this category when they are genuinely interested in the subject or a particular lesson. #lthechat
I hope to get digital portfolios up and running at the beginning of a course for my students. That way they can goal set, organize their assignments, essays, reports, debates, and presentations. It will provide for a great snapshot of student work at the course end. #GCRDTruro
A big selling point for me when it comes to digital portfolios would be that “families become engaged in the school experience through their child’s digital portfolio.” Displaying student work and teacher professionalism in this way would be a big positive for me! #GCRDTruro
All this reading on Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is validating. I’ll continue to integrate technology into my classroom, presenting content in a variety of ways and giving students options for how to express what they’ve learned. Still got a lot to learn.... #GCRDTruro
@kcportis001@msvu_tech I agree! Love the Harry Ptter analogy. I’m still working on how to be an effective “guide on the side” like Harry. It’s easy to feel like students need a lot of explicit instruction and the gradual release of responsibility is difficult. Thanks Harry.
I tried out Osmo with @kcportis001 in class tonight. My 6-year-old has been loving this in his grade 1 class so it was nice to try it out. I can see why he loves it!

Feeling the Christmas drain heading into 2020 hoping technology is going to help with the list of things to do in the next couple of weeks!
