A group of dedicated educators gather each week to discuss best practices & designing the school of the future. @yankee_todd is a third year principal of the middle school in San Antonio. #neisdpln is an amazing hour each Monday night at 7:30 central time.
Kelly, 3rd grade teacher at Wetmore. One of my fave parts of education is when kids run into my classroom on Monday morning saying how much they missed me and are ready to learn. Too many to name though. ❤️ #neisdpln
Gladys Marrone, Wodostone, 4th--Best part is watching a kid's light turn on when they finally figure something out they have been struggling with #neisdpln
A1: anything with fourth grade, seesaw, or any strand of math or reading I am currently attempting to teach. I do like to peek in at txed chats and read responses to motivate. #neisdpln
A2: I don’t have any specific chat I follow either. I’ve tried in the past, but I have a hard time keeping up with all of their schedules for some reason! #neisdpln
A5: Twitter is NOT hard! Take a picture of what your kids are learning and post it. Do it 1-3 times a week and before you know it, you’re hooked! #neisdpln
Amen!! Right @kandrarene.! Now if we could just get our other Woodstone friends to try this! I Hallenberger you girls for the last nine weeks #neisdpln
A5: Twitter is NOT hard! Take a picture of what your kids are learning and post it. Do it 1-3 times a week and before you know it, you’re hooked! #neisdpln
A5: Share with the world what your class is doing and project on your SMARTboard so they can see the feedback. Model good digital citizenship before they get to middle school. #neisdpln
Yes!!!! I LOVE seeing my kids faces once they realize 1,000+ people have seen their work via my tweets! The tweet activity button is fun and surreal! #neisdpln
A7: I’d be here all night listing all the ideas I’ve used, but I need to get some sleep at some point. 😜 @ericcurts has some of my favorite Google activities that I’ve used for independent Google Classroom assignments. #neisdpln
A6: @yankee_todd put out a tweet about doing something kind for a colleague and I followed the suggestion...made my day happy and the recipient’s grateful. #win#neisdpln
A7: I almost forgot #MarchMammalMadness! Discovered it too late this year, but we’re totally going to do it next year. It fits perfectly with our ecology unit going on right now. #neisdpln
A7: math lessons, books to read aloud, activities to implement, character building ideas, motivation for myself when I need to regroup (many times) #neisdpln
