My son just finished 1st grade and was doing some optional summer homework… I’m not going to lie, I’m happy with the superhero he came up with and his thinking of why that superpower was important! Go gett’em hotdog man! #TEACHers#teacherlife#SummerSchool

Getting ready for March book madness teaming up with one of our energetic English #teachers! Any other Media specialists/librarians running one? If so, how are you getting your students engaged in the process? @NJASL
If you need some great ideas for your classroom, free PD, or just looking for some #edu banter check out some of these #podcasts! Just curious, of the 20 listed... how many have you subscribed or listened to? #teacherlife#teachertwitter#edutwitter
Dear @Facebook,
@SlidesManiaSM is a fantastic resource for educators... Why block them from posting and helping educators on facebook during this challenging time?

Happy Mote Template Monday! Here is the Mote Public Service Announcement Template. Give this to #students on a Monday and make it due in a week. Ss can use warm-up time during the week to work on it. #teachertwitter#educationdocs.google.com/presentation…
Super pumped to received this personalized copy of #eduducttape by @JakeMillerTech. If you are interested in leveraging #edtech to solve a problem in the classroom or if you want to enhance a lesson w/ technology… grab a copy of this book!
This one is easy for me. Respect. A Ts job is to prepare their Ss for the real world. Ss won't always like their bosses, people they work with, or other parts of life. Respect is a skill that will take Ss a long way in life!

A2: my favorite edtech tools are #classcraft (game-based learning), #flipgrid, quizalize (kahoot but ability to make teams and sort data by standard), edpuzzle, and incredibox (beatboxing cartoons to make beats for presentation intros)! #HackLearning
I am not trying to sway the votes for @KyleNiemis#edtech madness, but... Here is my bracket. If @justmoteHQ and @wevideo were on opposite sides... that would've been my final. I do have @Desmos as an early candidate for next year's bracket!
A1: My school renovated the media center and I would like to start a student podcasting network with the students… clubs, assignments, passion projects… let’s go! #Masterychat
In Episode 97, we talk about professional development opportunities w/ @LINC_PD, @myedtechbundle, and @NewEdTechClass, all things gamification including reasons why you should gamify your classroom & the #edtech that supports the practice! #TEACHers
🎙️player.captivate.fm/episode/…
A3: As a teacher, I want to know that what I am doing is making a difference. The best gift is to see my students succeed. One of my past students is graduating Vet school this Friday.... Life is good! #BlinAction
A2: I know a teacher that assigns a genius hour for homework instead of content-based homework. They asked the students to work on a passion project for 60 minutes a week. At the end of each quarter they have to present their progress. No grades for HW #satchat
If you are like me, the back of your laptop becomes a canvas for things that have positively influenced you or things that you believe in. I'm curious what other teacher laptops look like... #shareyourcanvas
@theClassroomQ @JakeMillerTech @EdjiNotes@lulzbot3D@Heilsound
A1: I like to watch a Ted Talk to start my day. I've found this to be motivational and fires me up for the day. One of my favorites is ted.com/talks/adam_grant_the…#BLinAction
March Checklist:
✅Learn about @KamiApp
✅Watch every Kami Tool Video
✅Fill Out my Kami Bracket
✅✅Disagree with @mrshowell24 as much as possible
✅Prepare victory speech
So #teachbetter22 was awesome! Has anyone ever recorded a part of a keynote as a remembrance of excellence? I meant to record a minute or two but then realized later that I recorded for 30 plus minutes! @mickeysmithjrs presentation was amazing! #findyoursound
A3: I use conditional formatting to make a quiz. If the Ss get the correct answer the cell turns green and red for a wrong answer. I also like putting Ss into teams during discussions & run a live scoreboard. Ss earn points for quality contributions. #MasteryChat
A1: Claims Evidence Reasoning (CER), project-based learning, & podcasts all afford Ss the chance to showcase their skills thru teamwork & collaboration! Providing Ss with these opportunities helps level the educational divide that might be present away from school. #BLinAction
A summer reading gem! What I like about this book is every chapter stimulates a discussion that makes you self-reflect. I'm reading this w/ 4 Ts across the US. We had our 1st discussion on Ch 1-3... 2 hours later we just finished ch 1. 😄 #ditchbook@jmattmiller@alicekeeler
After more than 10,000 votes, the people have spoken and we are now down to 8 tools! Round 2 begins now! The winners are chosen 100% by all of you. The voting polls can be found in the comment section. I can't wait to see who will be in the final four!
#edtech#edtechmadness
@NickGotTechEd and I did two #Edtech throwdown presentations at the @njecc conference. Such a great turnout with lots of awesome educators! We got to show off some new podcast swag! Thanks @BryonCar … everyone should check out Fresh Air at Five!
Because game elements are apart of everything from credit card rewards to Starbucks. People respond to game elements. Teachers teach or should teach students the way they like to learn and we are in the age of gamified learners… just my opinion :)
A1) Over the past 5-6 weeks we have strengthened the way we communicate and we eliminated the walls of the classroom. I will take these communication skills (feedback, virtual meetings, etc) and allow them to be viable tools in the classroom! #BLinAction
I love this tweet! SAMR being a ladder is one of the biggest misconceptions in #edtech integration. Have you ever heard of the Technology Integration Matrix? It takes SAMR, Blooms, and MI and puts them into a matrix of learning scenarios. fcit.usf.edu/matrix/
Nominate bit.ly/edtechmadness24 your favorite #edtech tools for the 4 remaining Twitter's choice spots! Over 70 nominations and 15 unique tools nominated. The final bracket will be released Sunday and voting begins on Monday! #TEACHers#teachertwitter#teacher
A3: Combating Ss schedules. Ss are so jam-packed with activities and testing that they have very little time to decompress and read!
#EducationNeverDies
I am looking for a few teachers from my #pln who would be willing to chat (podcast) about their remote, virtual, hybrid learning successes and challenges... Dm me if interested!
#blinaction#edumentor#njetc
A1: This is a phenomenal playlist! One piece of advice for those creating playlists... Make sure you have plenty of designated feedback opportunities and vary your methods! #BLinAction
