#miched Archive

The #michED chat is a grassroots effort dedicated to giving teachers, students, and parents across Michigan a bigger voice in the conversation about education in our state. We welcome all voices through a variety of projects, media, and social networking. We’re trying to address educational issues through apolitical conversation, spreading ideas and stories of success from Michigan classrooms across the state, and helping teachers and students regain the courage to connect and demonstrate that schools in Michigan are creating amazing opportunities for learning. We want the face and voice of education in Michigan to be a mural of shared experiences and positive examples of connected learning.

  • ronhoutman Mar 1 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1 - The first thing we do is ensure that our kids know what the term "Fake News" even is, and where it came from. #MichED
  • blocht574 Mar 1 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1: I teach science need to focus on FACTS so we need multiple sources #miched eliminate #altfacts verify everything
