Our mission for our 21st century chat is to create a positive 21st century learning environment for our students by sharing resources and ideas that has worked in our classrooms. Join us every Sunday from 8:00-9:00 PM (EST) on Twitter using the hashtag #21stedchat. All are welcome!
Welcome to #21stedchat tonight @Edu_Thompson and I will be discussing Work Life Balance. Please introduce yourselves and include the title of your favorite song. Welcome Everyone!
A1: I feel like I did 30 years ago when I 1st taught. Excited to meet the kids and HAPPY to help another group of kids reach their true potential #21stedchat
A2. When the school day was finished I stayed until 5:00, went home, had dinner and started working again until my mind was too weary. It was my life for a long time. #21stedchat
A3. I try to say 9:00 but that does not always happen. Somedays I am better then others but I hve been doing good with taking Saturdays off for the most part! #21stedchat
A3 I think 10:00 is my cut off, but I would like it to be Fridays off totally, Saturday nights off totally, and Sunday night 8:00 cut off....but, I'm weak! I cave a lot! Lol #21stedchat
A4 I teach students to budget their time, to use a calendar, and to take time for relaxation! Its hard for them, because students have homework sports and activities dinner and family time and they need sleep so they have to work hard to fit it all in #21stedchat
ALL. THE. TIME. I’m here to teach students what those who cared the most about me did: everything useful, helpful, enriching…and the need to ‘just say NO’. #21stEdChat

A4a I just attended an Eagle Scout ceremony today! I've attend sports, recitals, fairs, plays, parades, and countless other events! It's important to connect with family and community stakeholders outside of school #21stedchat
A5: a maximized learning environment respects the life of all stakeholders outside of the learning space with support for their individual pursuits, hobbies and dreams so long as they do not create a conflict with the learning and institutional goals #21stEdChat
There were many times when work was the very best play I had going on. When at home I was working, writing grants to provide more for children, was that work or home?
It is all just life :-) and we are so fortunate to get to enjoy everyday. #21stedchat
