#UrbanEd chat is a twitter chat for educators. Topics relevant to the subject of urban education will be discussed, but all educators are encouraged to join the conversation. The chats will be moderated by Ben and Neil, founders of Engaging Educators and elementary school teachers in Detroit, MI.
Sports are a great way to get moving! I enjoyed them as a kid. I like dance fitness and cardio kickboxing classes. Great way to relieve stress. #urbanedchat
Absolutely! I love it for that reason too. I always leave a class feeling better than when I came in. Don't forget to use #Urbanedchat so we can all see your responses.
Great example! I do this with my elementary and middle school students and I think it changes the whole mood. I also do this with relaxing music when I want a calming tone in my classroom. #urbanedchat
A3 Dance breaks work great during independent practice...I let Ss and Ts bring a phone with their playlist and we try to jam out for a few minutes #UrbanEdChat
Awesome idea! I would play music and let students dance their way to line up. It cut down on touching and pushing in line because their bodies were occupied doing something else. #urbanEdchat
Here's one example of how to engage secondary learners in physical during a math lesson. Can have them posted around the room & do this as a warm up based on the concept Ss are practicing. #Urbanedchat
Music is such a motivator! I played it every day when I was at the elementary level and kids loved it. It was how I started and stopped activities. It works the same way for middle schoolers too. #Urbanedchat
Twitter was slow tonight and we were having some connection challenges on tonight's #UrbanEdChat. We're going to do the second half of this chat in January. Still so many awesome resources to share! Thanks @JV_lack@IanMooreSr for joining us!
