A1: Hmm lots of work/huge projects on the house, two weeks of beach vacation, and lots of twitterchats of course! #ruraledchat

GeoffCyr May 9 @ 8:42 PM EDT

That being said, I'm a robotics coach, so there are worse ways to spend your time at school in the summer, I guess #ruraledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 9 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A1: I'm taking some time to sleep late. Not making any set in stone schedule except for the conferences I am attending. #RuralEdChat

SylviaEllison May 9 @ 8:44 PM EDT

I'm proud (& honored) to present at @st4tevent this summer #ruraledchat

Welcome, Marc. You're doing great. Let us know if we can help in any way. #RuralEdChat

In reply to @mtartaro

MrsShanNAdams May 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A2: Reading, podcasts, conversations through those met in professional orgs, and catching up with friends who are also in EDLE #RuralEdChat

In reply to @TG_Neil

SylviaEllison May 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A3 I'd love for them to read .. teaching #BookSnaps this week to hopefully engage them in reading #RuralEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 9 @ 8:55 PM EDT

** Q3 ** What are you encouraging your students to do this summer? #RuralEdchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT

We'll have a padlet or something soon so we can start gathering ideas. #RuralEdchat

In reply to @SylviaEllison

MrsDamianoWH May 9 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A3: That is a really good question, and I have no idea! #ruraledchat

mtartaro May 9 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A3 - Read, use technology, and spend time with family! #RuralEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 9 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A3: I encourage my Ss to learn something new that they couldn't (or didn't) learn in school. (Just like me.) #RuralEdChat

valerietilton May 9 @ 8:58 PM EDT

A3: I'm encouraging Ss to read! Books, magazines, blogs etc. Also enjoy some downtime and R&R!#RuralEdChat

j6panus May 9 @ 8:59 PM EDT

#RuralEdChat A3: explore! And fly a plane, of course. 😁

TG_Neil - Moderator May 9 @ 9:00 PM EDT

Why don't we ever encourage our Ss to do math over the summer? Reading -- yes but math? Why not? It's important, too. #RuralEdchat

mtartaro May 9 @ 9:01 PM EDT

A3 - Try Geocaching! #RuralEdChat

MrsDamianoWH May 9 @ 9:01 PM EDT

A3: I think encouraging them to get outsides and stay active is realistic and healthy #ruraledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 9 @ 9:02 PM EDT

I'm so glad I didn't hear anyone was getting their "packets" together for summer learning. Let the kids own their own learning. #ruralEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 9 @ 9:02 PM EDT

YES!!! Activities that require them to continue thinking for themselves. #RuralEdChat

j6panus May 9 @ 9:01 PM EDT

My rocketry and AE summer camps use a lot of math. 😎

rutenbert May 9 @ 9:09 PM EDT

#ruraledchat A4: not to overschedule myself, then stress out because I can't do it all. I know; sounds crazy. Lol

In reply to @TG_Neil

MrsDamianoWH May 9 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A4+: I started using @CanvasLMS and I really want to get more familiar with that. As well as #flipgrid and some other #EdTech #ruraledchat
