โEducators are trained to deliver instruction and to develop skills to prepare our students for success in college or career, not toโฆnavigate a legitimate battlefield where we must disarm assailants or become human shields against any incoming bullets.โ

A decade ago, I was in the โdonโt ban smartphones, use them as learning toolsโ but the apps (esp social media) have become so much more laser focused on the addictive aspects of mindlessly keeping attention that Iโd much rather have smartphones put away. (Pt 1)
insane how the only notable change since Sandy Hook is that kids are now formally trained to hide, barricade doors, fight, or run for their lives. that was the solution. to literally put the responsibility on them to figure it out and wish them luck.
Weโve been learning about protest movements of the 60s & 70s. Thanks to @Lozaleadlearnerโs #makerspace resources my Ss were able to create real buttons for a group of their choosing. TY Nadine. โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐ #bestteacherlibrarian
I use to be on the team that's like, "Let kids bring phones into the classroom! We'll use them for learning!"
The problem, and the reason I've changed my stance, is simply that the attention economy makes this nearly impossible.
It's a losing battle for kids & their brain.

@monnat_s For each unit I have created a one pager, that consists of the a few key enduring understandings of the unit that we discuss first in small group, then large group. I also include a list of key content vocab for the unit. We do Quizlet or Gimkit review games, as well.
@Evangel22741313 @socialstudiestx@KleinHigh@TxSocialStudies@TEKS_RS_SS I love this! I think this might be a great review activity in preparation for midterms. Do you have a resource I could reference as I design my own activity?
