    Finally a night where I can settle in for a #nvedchat! I think @BDicksonNV @SaraHolm15 @MKuniya and @mrispin_cms should pop in for a bit! Kyle in Reno, too many movies because of genres, but Dumb & Dumber is certainly one of them!

  • Snehalstocks - Moderator Jan 28 @ 10:08 PM EST
    A1-I always try to park far away from the school so it forces me to walk, compose my thoughts, and gets me a few extra steps on my @fitbit. #NVedchat

    hi #nvedchat! I'm Sara, a K teacher at Lake Tahoe, NV. I love to backcountry ski but am having some foot problems so this winter I've been running and doing the Shaun T Transform :20 program. I get up early to workout and it's always worth it!

  • Snehalstocks - Moderator Jan 28 @ 10:13 PM EST
    A2-I love watching movies in the theater for a couple of reasons... 1-the smell of popcorn and the atmosphere sets the mood 2-allows me to just lose myself into a story, hopefully good one, and recharge my mind #NVedchat movie night?

    R2: I have a 1/2 hr drive to and from school. This is my down time to decompress. Sometimes I call my wife, sometimes my oldest daughter, sometimes my parents. Sometimes I listen to @cnn. Sometimes I listen to @CADPODCAST1. This is MY time. #NVedchat

    You should add @BeerEDUPod to your rotation, right @BDicksonNV? And the @SonsOfTechEdu Podcast with @JoeMarquez70 is also solid! #nvedchat

    #nvedchat A2 Play and laugh like a toddler who just got away with something sneaky at least 1 time a day! Reminds you of what’s important ...
  • T_Copple Jan 28 @ 10:15 PM EST
    A2 It’s prayer for me. I also listen to Spotify playlists to suit my mood. #NVedchat

    Ladies and gentlemen. I would love to introduce @T_Copple to our chat. She is an #edtech rock star and co-moderator of #INeLearn. She is one of our best in Indiana. #NVedchat
  • MaggieJCox Jan 28 @ 10:17 PM EST
    A2 I use tricks to give myself little brain breaks, switching tasks, taking a walk outside while I process the next activity, I stop at coffee shop after work sometimes to sit & mentally reset before I get home & start the next task, just try to break it up #NVedchat
  • NevadaEdChat - Moderator Jan 28 @ 10:18 PM EST
    Q3-Why is it important to have a PLC/PLN and how can it help you maintain yourself? #NVedchat

  • rpencetech Jan 28 @ 10:19 PM EST
    A1: I make sure to get outside! Including, but not limited to, going for walks with my dog & family, hiking, volunteering with Nature groups - hands on trail or park maintenance, work outs, snow play, and any trips I make sure I’ll be active as a part of it! #nvedchat

    I am learning to go to bed earlier so I can get more sleep. My health and mind are more important than some of the tasks I need to get done. #nvedchat

    #nvedchat A3: inspiration and support even when you don’t realize you need it ...
  • LCHS_Bio Jan 28 @ 10:20 PM EST
    R3: every time I get down because a day wasn’t ideal, I look at my feed of all the positivity that comes from my #PLNs. I’ve created a list of people that inspire me daily. The crazy thing is I have only met a handful of people I talk to regularly here and in others. #NVedchat
  • MaggieJCox Jan 28 @ 10:21 PM EST
    Yes! I like to do podcasts while I walk or clean house, just to keep positive energy coming in #NVedchat Check out @undrcaff3inatED

    A3: My PLN and #PLF are phenomenal. They support me, check-in on me, push me, etc. I do not know where I would be without my Carrific PLN #plf #NVedchat
  • T_Copple Jan 28 @ 10:21 PM EST
    A3 A PLN provides an outlet for creative thought and challenges you to see from all perspectives. A PLN also reminds you that you aren’t alone in the good fight of education! #NVedchat
  • carr_8 Jan 28 @ 10:22 PM EST
    Yes! I completely agree!! It is always nice to have others who aren’t in your building/state to know when to send you a message. #nvedchat

  • Snehalstocks - Moderator Jan 28 @ 10:22 PM EST

  • LCHS_Bio Jan 28 @ 10:23 PM EST
    R3: I see what everyone does on a daily basis. It makes me say to myself “I can do more and do better.” #NVedchat
  • NevadaEdChat - Moderator Jan 28 @ 10:24 PM EST
    Q4-(final question)- Knowing what you know... what would you tell your younger self... that can help you maintain yourself everyday? #NVedchat

    A4- Cherish the little things, the little moments, and a keep a memory of it somehow. Then, when life has you down...go back to the memory of those little things that make such a profound impact. #NVedchat

  • carr_8 Jan 28 @ 10:25 PM EST
    A4: Do not forget to take care of yourself and it is okay to put you first. If you aren’t well maintained, you will not be able to complete all your tasks at 110%. #NVedchat
  • MKuniya Jan 28 @ 10:26 PM EST
    A4: Stop overthinking everything--#justdoit #NVedchat

    R4 Learn from experienced educators. Ask questions. Even if you don’t agree now, you may understand their wisdom later. Be YOU in the classroom. Don’t apologize for your passion. Ever. #NVedchat
  • MKuniya Jan 28 @ 10:27 PM EST
    Yes! Making should be a part of everyone's day. If only the school and work day could be redesigned in a way to make that possible. #NVedchat #strategicslacking

  • LCHS_Bio Jan 28 @ 10:27 PM EST
    R4: network, find a way to release energy, and always push boundaries for innovation in the classroom. Oh, and make sure you interview your potential employer while they interview you for their position. Maybe that will prevent 6 years of misery. #NVedchat
  • JennFisk Jan 28 @ 10:28 PM EST
    A4: I ❤️💙 this question!! I would tell myself to wake up and start taking care of yourself because you can’t help anyone else if you don’t help yourself first. Like the air mask on airplanes. #NVedchat

  • rpencetech Jan 28 @ 10:29 PM EST
    A3: Having a PLN helps me remember that there are like-minded individuals together, that we are #bettertogether , and that I don’t have to do it all - there are others in it with me! Plus great things often happen when we connect! #nvedchat
