    @mlarson_nj thanks for leading #pln365 tonight! Rockstar!
  • SteinbrinkLaura Jan 16 @ 9:03 PM EST
    Sure! Make a simpler one that they can draw in/on. It just has to make sense to them. Here's a pic of one I made for my HS Ss. They fill it in with what they think is important, color, and make notes all over it. #pln365

      A4: I want to create an acceptance (not just awareness or tolerance of) different cultures and languages. There are so many similarities among languages. I want students to share their knowledge of their peers' language and culture #pln365

    Yes, though we haven't opened that up outside of the district yet. I recently figured out how to use Google Sites with Google Classroom to allow easy commenting on posts. Now to connect to another HS sophomore class. :) #pln365

    A4 I want to create access for all students to meaningful arts education. Learning to think about, discuss, explore, share and communicate ideas effectively is what great arts education is about. These are skills that all students can use. The arts teach them wonderfully. #pln365

    I need to separate faster/slower processors in S teams so they don't frustrate each other. Often the slower processors have great ideas but the faster want to get into deeper material at the end of each lesson https://t.co/ZSZ635iCPl #pln365

    Changing a campus or district to one where technology is embedded rather than just a rarely used resource is challenging...With planning and dedicated Ts and stakeholders, anything is possible...This issue is a non-negotiable for the impact it can have on Ss learning...#pln365

    LOVE the idea of Art Workshop! I miraculously landed in a schl 20 years ago & have taught Writing Workshops since. A fav mini-lesson idea: using a S piece to start off the next day's workshop. When they share their piece & then others '? & comment,' all are inspired! #PLN365
