    R3 Our Ss continue to have access to their online reading accounts which I love. Sending home reminders and passwords for elem Ss right before the end is a good idea. #INeLearn

    R3 Sharing what we’re reading and recommendations. Looking for and posting about author, public library, and other events that students might be interested in. #INeLearn
  • LCHS_Bio May 24 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    R3: next year I want my kids to blog and video cast more what they do. This will allow them to help document what they do for summer for their own recollection. (Thinking ahead again....) #INeLearn
  • MrsCoppleSES - Moderator May 24 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    This is a great idea! I think I will use my IG account this way over the summer! "What Mrs. Copple is reading..." #INeLearn

    Q4: What are the most important math skills to keep fresh over the summer, and how can tech ensure retention of those skills? #INeLearn
  • risky4 - Moderator May 24 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    @Snehalstocks That's positive control. Love the idea! #INeLearn
  • mrg_3 - Moderator May 24 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    So many schools encourage parents to share pics of their kids reading over break and tagging posts with a program/project hashtag. Just being “Shared” becomes incentive. #INeLearn

    That’s exactly what I was going to say. That and let them think of something unusual they want to learn how to do. My daughter decided to learn how to do balloon art on her own. #inelearn She learned a lot about perseverance that summer!

    @weVideo and @flipgrid summer sharing. How fun is that? Let’s blog about the activities and post our videos on our own @YouTube channel. Finally, let’s create a #AR or #VR for our friends of our favorite spot on our vacation using a 360 camera? #INeLearn

    R6 My own kiddos enjoy making movies, photo collages, flying drones, and now making GoPro footage. My son saved up to buy one for the summer and it arrived yesterday. He's pumped. #INeLearn
  • risky4 - Moderator May 24 @ 9:38 PM EDT
    Amazing @3DChampion! Thanks for the video and ideas! #INeLearn
  • 3DChampion May 24 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    I like the idea of AP and how students need to read some before class starts in the fall. I think we could give out summer enrichment projects that students would love doing. #INeLearn
  • shighley May 24 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    Good pt. Last time I taught 6th grade science, we did geocaching at end of the yr. Some Ss continued with their families. There were several caches at a park across the street from school, and I planted some "fake" ones on school grounds to practice. #INeLearn

    Q7: How do you plan to connect with your future learners and their families during the summer months? #INeLearn
  • LCHS_Bio May 24 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    R7: Since I’m changing my curriculum focus next year, I’m going to establish my connections with parents and students the first of July. May give a couple of assignments and get things rolling. #INeLearn
  • MrsCoppleSES - Moderator May 24 @ 9:42 PM EDT
    R7 I have never done this well. I did send postcards a few times. I'd love to hook families up with our IG hashtag before school starts. #INeLearn

    In reply to @LCHS_Bio
  • risky4 - Moderator May 24 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    R7: As an eLearning Coach, I'll make those connections with their Ts this summer so the Ts can connect with Ss. Flash PD for Ts! #INeLearn
  • mrg_3 - Moderator May 24 @ 9:43 PM EDT
    R7 this can be tricky if Ss don’t learn who their teacher is until just before start of school. Maybe having a school or grade level platform would be cool. Share various tidbits over the summer as a team. #INeLearn
  • LCHS_Bio May 24 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    #AP physics, honors physics, and still teaching biology. #INeLearn.

    R7 I am so excited to meet my Ss before the end of the school year! I will have some I also had in K, so I will already have a connection with several. #INeLearn
  • MrsCoppleSES - Moderator May 24 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    Our new team is working on getting an eNewsletter going. I look forward to that because I've really missed that connection w/ families since moving to middle school. #INeLearn

    A7: As an instructional coach I don’t have typical new Ss. But this ? Makes me wonder about the need for a professional social media presence. Today’s Ss are likely to find you online first.?!.?!. #INeLearn

    @wendymairclark GREAT point! #INeLearn

    Q8: How do YOU plan to expand your own learning during the summer months? #INeLearn
  • mrg_3 - Moderator May 24 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    Launching a Flipgrid once you know your Ss and Ps contact would be cool. You could post icebreaker prompts weekly. #INeLearn
  • LCHS_Bio May 24 @ 9:47 PM EDT
    I think this will make my science career pretty much full circle for me. I’ve done nearly everything from 6th grade - 12th grade. I’m old... #INeLearn

    R8 Summer of eLearning, #ISTE2018, reading at least one PD book, and keep up with my fave blogs. I'm also going to PASS my certification tests for my building-level principal license. #fingerscrossed #INeLearn

    R8 I find that I work just as much during summer as I do during the school year! Conferences, digging into curriculum, reinventing my classroom space... #INeLearn
