@MandyatSchool @drskmcm No need to threaten me with a good time! 😀 I'll direct message you.

My future ISD seems to share similar beliefs on technology, and proactively dealing with problems.

Technology in the classroom should be regulated and controlled.

All parents are invited to attend "Technology's Influence over Children's Beliefs and Behaviors," on March 29, 6-7:30 pm at Hafley Development Center to learn how technology can impact behavior and practical, realistic things you can do to help. More info: https://t.co/48On2ouLOl

@JSteele210 @drskmcm The behavior has to be corrected, but positively reinforcing a corrected action helps ensure that the behavior stays corrected. Sometimes people perform actions just for the social interaction they receive. Thus the importance of positively reinforcing corrected behavior.

[Jonathan Evans @TWUevans]

@MakalaMethvin @drskmcm Great chart. The difference between flattery and positive reinforcement is shown clearly in #5. A good thing to remember, as children seem to have a good "B.S." detector.

@mrspengwynn @arhurlbut Ewww cursive!!!! My handwriting is bad enough... 😬
Really interesting article, one has to wonder if all these little things we do will add up to a different type of person than what we grew up with. A person immersed in a digital world, and ambivalent to the physical world.

[Jonathan Evans @TWUevans]

@JSteele210 @arhurlbut The Army struggles to keep the basic map tracking skills alive in a digital world. Sadly it is a skill that needs constant practice. I find these skills all but deteriorated thanks to the Garmin that never leaves my car. For someone not raised in DFW, this place is daunting.

[Jonathan Evans @TWUevans]

Paraphrasing Stephanie Stoebe, from the Professional Development Course - Classroom Managment: "For some students, the only positive reinforcement they receive is in school, and more negative reinforcement is not going to positively effect their behavior."@drskmcm #TWUEDUC5123

We need to teach our students to be citizens, nationally and globally. Citizenship requires moral character, which CAN be taught in schools!

Schools do not need to teach cursive, it is an obsolete skill, from a distant past.

@Philpil87 @drskmcm An old soul, in a young body, you got the best of both worlds!

[Jonathan Evans @TWUevans]

@JSteele210 @drskmcm Am I wrong that I still use the the term "when I grow up," even though I am 38...

[Jonathan Evans @TWUevans]

@JSteele210 @drskmcm I totally agree with you. I feel that it creates a good framework to both identify potential problems in a child's life, as well as help a teacher think about the cause and effect of your actions in dealing with those potential problems. #TWUEDUC5123

[Jonathan Evans @TWUevans]

Response feedback on blackboard tests to reinforce the material, or help learn from a mistake. It is the small things that make a huge difference. Thank you for not just teaching it, but practicing it! @drskmcm

[Jonathan Evans @TWUevans]

@mrspengwynn @drskmcm These ideas were awesome, I loved the idea of students interviewing each other, really getting a chance to see the world from another students eyes. The "Me Commercial" sounds like a great classroom activity, and way to get them thinking about the future! #TWUEDUC5123

[Jonathan Evans @TWUevans]

Erikson's Stages of development were right on the money!!! How many of my fellow 35+ year old MAT folk fit the generativity vs stagnation phase perfectly, where we embark on new careers and make life changes.#TWUEDUC5123 @drskmcm

@JSteele210 @drskmcm I also thought Piaget's theories were on the money, as actions such as sharing, taking turns, and kindness are the first steps are not the measure of a "good person," but of a good upbringing. Positive interaction is crucial to good students, and good citizens.

[Jonathan Evans @TWUevans]

@mrspengwynn @drskmcm Great article! Expounds upon the chapter nicely. I love the step by step process they give:
1) Lay the Foundation
2) Pull Back Gradually
3) Support and Re-engage
The simple lessons are usually the most important ones we learn.

@mrspengwynn @drskmcm Awesome quote!!! We aren't teaching facts, we are teaching inspiration.
