I just called a parent of a senior to say how proud of I am for him working hard and consistently throughout the year, and she said this is the first teacher call since he entered high school. I don't fault teachers for not calling; it's just sad teachers don't have time for this

Writing letters by hand leaves clearer memory traces in the brain than typing them does, indicating deeper learning.⁠ ✍️

Brain scans of preliterate children reveal crucial reading circuitry flickering to life when kids hand-printed letters and then tried to read them.💡

If you create a slide for each breakout room group and have students work there, you can set to grid view and see which groups need help and track their progress while on Zoom. Thanks to @HerreraKM1 for the idea.

With schools closed and Social Distancing expectations in place, Newell-Fonda staff miss their students and put together a video to let them know that they are “Never Gonna Give Them Up.” Hang in there kids, we will get through this. https://t.co/IMZzlSWTCA #newellfonda

Want students to remember something? Ask them to draw it. Research shows that drawing concepts is better than simply writing notes, viewing images, or listening to lectures. A recent @edutopia video I worked on.

How do we make our classes about LEARNING, not the game of collecting points?
