R1: Been gettin' my PIRATE on in 5th grade with DigCit lessons! #MVeLearn

kissinger_julie - Moderator May 18 @ 9:07 PM EDT

The writer's retreat to Solitude was truly a pirate's moment. Going outside and transforming students to create story settings. #Mvelearn

GRAMMARDOCTORS May 18 @ 9:07 PM EDT

I had one today! Two students recognized siblings during my 60's Day PPT to help them know what to wear. They had enthusiasm #mvelearn

risky4 - Moderator May 18 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@kissinger_julie Certainly one of my favorite moments of the year! #MVeLearn Will we do again?

risky4 - Moderator May 18 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@GRAMMARDOCTORS Can't wait for the car show! #MVeLearn

My friend Vince is bringing some great cars #mvelearn

ralo98 May 18 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Going back to basics with pencil, paper and giant dice! Students sometimes like it "old school" #mvelearn

williamastein May 18 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Good evening from an undisclosed location on the west side of Evansville. 😜 #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 18 @ 9:09 PM EDT

risky4 - Moderator May 18 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@williamastein Have you had a PIRATE moment this year, Mr.Bill? #MVeLearn

ralo98 May 18 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Q2: Homework, It’s said, “Ss don’t do it, so why give it?” Your thoughts? #MVeLearn

GRAMMARDOCTORS May 18 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Mr. Wolfe is having pirate moments right now as he is manning the poop deck. #mvelearn

R2 It must be purposeful. I could not have done Shakespeare in class if students had not read The Outsiders outside #mvelearn

feagley4 May 18 @ 9:13 PM EDT

R2: Seriously thinking about cutting way back next year #moreprojects #mvelearn

risky4 - Moderator May 18 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@feagley4 cutting back on what? Homework? #MVeLearn

risky4 - Moderator May 18 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@feagley4 I see...more projects...YES!! #MVeLearn

feagley4 May 18 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@risky4 Not teaching grade 10 next year...#thecrucible #puritanism #witches #mvelearn

risky4 - Moderator May 18 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@feagley4 Really? Which grade? #MVeLEarn

ralo98 May 18 @ 9:16 PM EDT

That's why I enjoy programs such as IXL. They can drill on skills in class rather than "forgetting" about homework #mvelearn

williamastein May 18 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@risky4 #mvelearn I guess my pirate moment was when I decided our Minecraft project was worthy of national recognition at ISTE

feagley4 May 18 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@risky4 11! #MVeLEarn #lotsofsamekids #1roomschool

GRAMMARDOCTORS May 18 @ 9:16 PM EDT

ralo98 May 18 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Q3: With the lack of school provided Internet access, will you change your HW policy? #MVeLearn #mvelearn

feagley4 May 18 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@ralo98 That's precisely why @mvshsmtvernon needs a program we can use consistently and across the board #mvelearn

StaciReese May 18 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Homework is a real struggle, but I think it is important. Quality over quantity; and usually not graded in my class #mvelearn

kissinger_julie - Moderator May 18 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I do consider homework a lifelong skill. I am sitting here grading AIMSWEB. Rare that I don't take my job home. #Mvelearn

GRAMMARDOCTORS May 18 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Q3 Not exactly. But it will affect how much I grade outside of class. Many days were spent grading outside my wife's work. #mvelearn

ralo98 May 18 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@feagley4 amen sista!#mvelearn

kissinger_julie - Moderator May 18 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Q3: Reading and writing don't require the internet! #Mvelearn

kissinger_julie - Moderator May 18 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Q3: Somehow I survived 16 years of school without the internet! #Mvelearn

StaciReese May 18 @ 9:22 PM EDT

I will miss the constant Haiku access! Planning for copies is not a strength for me...#illegalcopieruse #mvelearn

feagley4 May 18 @ 9:22 PM EDT

R4: I feel like in high school this is not an obstacle that should be a problem #mvelearn #apl #mcds #takeinitiative

risky4 - Moderator May 18 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@kissinger_julie Hard to believe how we did research back when #MVeLearn

StaciReese May 18 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Q4. Student motivation is a constant challenge. How have you confronted this? #mvelearn

GRAMMARDOCTORS May 18 @ 9:24 PM EDT

R4 Mr. RB likes Minecraft, and i am a Minecraft Noob. So I asked him to teach me while I helped him write his speech. It worked! #mvelearn

risky4 - Moderator May 18 @ 9:25 PM EDT

R4: Try and stay 2 steps in front of them. Be ready to steer the ship in another direction! #MVeLearn

feagley4 May 18 @ 9:25 PM EDT

R4: Prime pop to #tlap! Those strategies work #orbecrazy #MVeLearn

kissinger_julie - Moderator May 18 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Q4: I strongly believe in Sesame Street Style Teaching. Short bursts of teaching different teaching styles. #Mvelearn

feagley4 May 18 @ 9:27 PM EDT

R4: Prime time to #tlap! Those strategies work #orbecrazy #MVeLearn
