Mr. King

I'm an 8th grade math teacher at Allen Middle School in the West Shore School District and I love my job! My school day consists of fabricating and finding fun.

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

@jennyktechin A4: My goal is to take part in sharing resources. In my first three years of teaching, I mostly kept my ideas to myself. I think it's about time I start posting what's going on in my classroom #edu929chat

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

@jennyktechin A3: I love following Dave Burgess for educational purposes and Pavlov the Corgi because corgi's are beautiful and amazing. #edu929chat

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

@jennyktechin A2: I also found many ways for students to use social media in the classroom #edu929chat

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

@jennyktechin A2: Finding answers to questions is so much easier. Just posting a question helps build ideas. #edu929chat

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

@leeny681 I would love to know how you use Instagram with your students. I'm looking for ways to incorporate it with my class this year.

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

@jennyktechin A1: I have been only really using Twitter and Instagram because of this course. I think I appreciate Instagram more because of the tendency to post pictures. It makes scrolling and finding ideas much easier. #edu929chat

@jennyktechin Hi everyone. It's Jesse King signing on to #edu929chat.

#Westshoreproud This year, I set up my room in three sections, one at each of my three whiteboards. Keep students distanced? Check. Provide station rotation? Check. Symmetrical room? Check. @jennyktechin

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

#Westshoreproud You might think middle school students are too old for station rotation models. I found it to be extremely effective this past year in 6th grade science and math. Excited to try it in 8th this year. @jennyktechin

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

#Westshoreproud My school district's summer professional development is a like a choose your own adventure book. We have the freedom to choose between tech tools, curriculum, pedagogy, etc. It makes learning in the summer 10x better. @jennyktechin

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

#Westshoreproud At the beginning of every year, my classroom competes to memorize every classmate's name. An environment of respect is everything. Getting excited to start in a few weeks. @jennyktechin

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

#Westshoreproud No matter what your lesson plans look like, don't forget to have fun. If you're not excited for your lesson, your students won't be either! Laughing is an important part of learning. @jennyktechin

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

@burgessdave @AnnickRauch Athletes are more than the numbers they achieve. So are students. #tlap

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

A2: Humans are meant to go through life together. The Olympics and teaching are the same in this instance. We need people cheering us on, lifting us up when we fall, and celebrating in the victories. #tlap

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

Q1 A: I'd be on the podium for sarcastic looks, comments, and laughs. I probably won't be medaling in parent contacts. #tlap

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

I'm a huge fan of beach volleyball! #tlap

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

Jesse King coming at you from PA. I read your book last summer for professional development. I'm excited to be a part of the chat tonight! @burgessdave #tlap

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

@JennySwartzent1 @jennyktechin Not sure yet what I would have them use. Maybe Screencastify. It's easy to upload those to YouTube.

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

I would love to have my 8th graders make "How To" YouTube videos for my Math class this year. Teaching someone else how to do something is the best way to learn it yourself. Thoughts? @jennyktechin

[Mr. King @ThatMrKing]

To any of my Wilson colleagues...has anyone taken EDU 921: Effective Video Production? I'm looking into it for the fall. @jennyktechin
