Morning! It's FRIDAY! "What question would you LOVE to ask the #BFC530 community someday?" ;)
NerdCoreTeacher Apr 14 @ 5:32 AM EDT

So that's a weird question to start the day. #bfc530
supervxn Apr 14 @ 5:32 AM EDT
Morning! I would like to invite the late sleepers to join the #BFC530 EU chat, 5:30 GMT. Maybe we can have the same Q.

  #bfc530 Good morning! first GMT chat. Today's Q: Which of the 7 C's do you support most? @C21Can #gbl #21stedchat
Gregbagby Apr 14 @ 5:33 AM EDT

Greetings #bfc530. Long time no tweet... I would ask about authentic/ powerful connections from twitter.
SusZanti5 Apr 14 @ 5:34 AM EDT

Good morning #bfc530 I would ask-how do you teach Ss ands Ts about mawareness and gratitude? https://t.co/FAoemfNE8I
jhnmason Apr 14 @ 5:35 AM EDT

I’d love folks to share what is their weakest area and one in which they know they can improve. I could do more with student voice. #BFC530
NerdCoreTeacher Apr 14 @ 5:35 AM EDT

Morning, Noa! So this was the chat today in the EU? #bfc530 that's pretty sweet that you get to join both sessions!

Good morning #bfc530 I would ask for career advice. Don't need any right now, but I have been misled in the past.
supervxn Apr 14 @ 5:37 AM EDT

your 5:30 is 12:30 in Israel. that's pretty convenient. The problem it with #edchat s after 4 pm EST, cause we're 7 hours ahead. #BFC530

What would be one thing your administrators could do to support you the most? #bfc530
supervxn Apr 14 @ 5:38 AM EDT

Teaching Ss #softskills is really problematic with the education system's focus on #testing for knowledge. #BFC530
In reply to @SusZanti5
SusZanti5 Apr 14 @ 5:38 AM EDT

I would ask, and am asking-what do you gain from joining the #bfc530 each morning? I get a jolt of intelligent,relevant, PD! #bfc530

I consider myself very lucky to have started my career in an awesome place. But this was happenstance, not all are lucky. #BFC530

Yes, however if we neglect to teach the whole child, their hearts and spirits their creativity and imagination, everyone loses #bfc530

I would ask - what are the hot jobs/trends in your city? What skills should we be honing in our Ss? Trades? Tech? Health? Writing? #bfc530

In reply to @NerdCoreTeacher, @DarnGoodReads, @BFC530
supervxn Apr 14 @ 5:58 AM EDT

Excellent idea. We need to tag people who aren't educators. Hope that would be a little help #bfc530
In reply to @NerdCoreTeacher, @DarnGoodReads, @BFC530
supervxn Apr 14 @ 6:00 AM EDT

That's the thing. We have to prepare Ss for an unknown future. Collaboration is key. And using only good #edtech. #bfc530
