Leading by example is the most effective way to teach. By modeling vulnerability, we can let others know they are not alone. This is especially important in light of COVID-19, when so many of us feel isolated.

This morning, we're offering a gentle reminder that educators don't always have to have all of the answers. As classes across the country change in unanticipated ways, admitting we're all figuring this out together can open doors toward trust and learning. https://t.co/7xGVpHaIJO

Is it just me, or does it feel like we should introduce students to other languages at earlier ages? I think we would be setting our students up for success this way.

Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Haitian Creole are the top five home languages for English learners, nationally

What a great example of teachers going the extra mile! This site shows the power of collaboration and is a great model of Google Sites done right. https://t.co/4PCMCN4X0M

@knott_makenzee @DrVirtuality Remembering to have fun and create relaxing spaces for yourself and for kids is so important during this time. Great resource! @DrVirtuality @jcdempsey3 #SEDU271

As a college student I agree 100%. This retweet serves as a note to my future teacher self.

@DrVirtuality This decisions should be left to individual schools, as they are able to see firsthand exactly how students are using technology in the classroom and during mealtimes. This completely eliminates any hope of teachers learning to adapt to and integrate mobile tech into lessons.

[Amber Burchard @v_is_for_vector]

I believe this is vital to improving our civil discourse as a culture. As digital citizens, we should be acting with mutual respect to add to the conversation, rather than shouting in an echo chamber. #SEDU183 #PSTPLN #DigCit

This is Grasshopper, a free app developed by Google. It teaches users of all ages how to code in JavaScript. Being free and mobile-based, this app is a great choice for extra credit assignments for tech teachers! Users can track their progress through certificates #SEDU183

@loudlearning Inspirational! The attitude and choices we make can have a far greater impact than our circumstances would lead us to believe. The only way to teach this to our students is to model this in our own lives. #edchat #PSTPLN

#PSTPLN Community, I just discovered an important twitter resource: https://t.co/TPylWutsyd
This site is a self proclaimed "database of all people education related on twitter" and a great way to find people to follow! @DrVirtuality #edtech #peopletofollow

[Amber Burchard @v_is_for_vector]

@MissSissem I agree! Have you seen the YouTube channel TED-Ed? It's an extension channel by the same organization behind TEDTalks, but its content consists of animated videos explaining history lessons or other educational and interesting topics. Here's the link! https://t.co/cbAoRQyvv1

@AngelinaScarna1 Hi Angie! This is Amber Burchard, I too hope to become a high school teacher. See you in class!

[Amber Burchard @v_is_for_vector]

Hello #PSTPLN community! As the only Sec. Ed. - Physics major that I know of at my university, I have no-one to share in my exact experience. Are you willing to share any life lessons you feel would be useful to a female freshman undergrad student? #physicsteacher #SecondaryEd

[Amber Burchard @v_is_for_vector]

In #SEDU183 I've noticed that teaching is really about #lifelonglearning. A key part of that is staying connected to the #PLN to learn from professionals wiser than myself. Eventually I want to be part of a #PLC at my own school. #PSTPLN #celebratemonday #EvenThoughItsWednesday

[Amber Burchard @v_is_for_vector]

Hello twitter! I'm reaching out to my #PSTPLN community and all my fellow #futureEducators! I'm a female Sec. Ed. Physics major in Edinboro University's Class of 2023. I can't wait to find out how I can contribute to the educational community!
