In a recent APSI, a participant said she wants to be intentional about including texts centered on joy during the upcoming year. Here’s the start of a crowd sourced list of joy-filled texts. The doc is open so feel free to add and spread the joy. https://t.co/1w5ecVt6bG
Lesson idea: have students select a meaningful photograph, meme, tweet, or IG posting and write next to it. Why do they deem their selection "meaningful"? Why is this selection worth talking about?
Having students imitate the New York Times "My Ten" column would be a good way for teachers to learn about their new students---and for students to learn about one another: https://t.co/YCI6krKUwY And, of course, the teacher should write one, too.
Evangelical Christianity in the United States is often characterized by a deep desire to have “Christianity” pervade our culture but not have Christ permeate our being.
@kasal_finley Our school shifted the bell schedule a little later for virtual to accommodate this. Each class is a little shorter so the day ends at the same time, but the thinking is students don’t need 85 minute zooms. Teachers still arrive at normal time & use that time for planning.
Worried about evidence of Ss attendance for school funding??? No problem, it took me about 3min to schedule my weekly @Flipgrid attendance. I can insert attendance in required SIS & have a back-up security blanket of evidence. Plus, all videos are time stamped! #FlipgridForAll

Listen, learn, unlearn, know when to lead, and know when to let others lead.
When students keep hearing adults talk about, and worry about, how “behind” they are-they become stressed! Let’s keep those conversations off their radar and welcome them back with encouragement, assurances,and lots of love.They need us to lead! BE POSITIVE FOR THEM! Be a leader!
