I tried something new this morning and loved it.

Before school, I highlighted a strong sentence or passage from each student's writing.

During class, students worked in groups to try to identify what made the highlighted passage strong.

It was so fun to listen to.

So true…I have spent so much time in Excel.

Tech Tip Life Skill: Have your students create a spreadsheet. It could be used to track minutes they read, allowance (or job income) and spending, fitness etc. See: Using Spreadsheets in the Classroom https://t.co/h4vyXKUGV0 #edchat #edtechchat My Movement Spreadsheet

Good things to consider when looking for teacher PD..

[Jeffrey Wilhelm @ReadDRjwilhelm]

Linda Darling Hammond, et al on what makes for effective PD. At BSWP we analyze student work together and then do lesson study. Very powerful way to be smarter together as teachers!
