TNedchat is a way for educators in Tennessee to share thoughts, resources, and information. The weekly chat is moderated by Jessica Warner (@jessawarner) and Samantha Bates (@sjsbates).
A1: Focusing on the positive & letting Ss have some ownership in how things play out! In fact, allow for some PLAY! Why not!? Let's make it fun!! #TNEDCHAT
A1 we talk about how school isn't over and spread that message with tweets, fb etc so that the community is aware that EDU still goes...not over yet #getafterit#tnedchat#WestBobcats
Love that and totally agree, I want to take every opp to engage with Ss in fun learning activ, try new tools/ use it to keep going and reflect over the summer #tnedchat
My End of School Pages https://t.co/WMWvgGZhfM Exit or Capstone Projects and Project-Based Learning are great ways to keep students engaged in meaningful learning. #tnedchat
A2: Hands on discovery, games, building - I've got one group building catapults and another making their own papercraft designs to sell online this year! #teacheroftheyear#tnedchat
A2 I try to schedule my concert... as frustrtating as it is... as close to the end as I can. I make it pops, givet he Ss Choice, let them conduct... Their program , their learning, their project. #TnEdChat

A2- I love to get kids crafting and making gifts for mom's and dad's- but not your typical presents. Friday is #MayThe4thBeWithYou#StarWarsDay and #gastemday so we are going to do some upcycle shrinkydinks! Math, science, and crafts. Cutests keychains you've ever seen! #tnedchat
A3: Try out new ideas when everyone feels less pressure to not fail at anything - have the Ss help you flesh out the ideas in the classroom to help them and future classes #tnedchat
A3: Independent Choice Reading is a wonderful way to keep students engaged and ready to combat the summer slump! #TNEDCHAT I loved reading to my students also! High School Ss love it too!
A2 I love scavenger hunts both in the school and outside of the school we have used QR codes along our nature trail for outdoor activities stations Gallery walks blogging end-of-year @Flipgrid#TNEDCHAT
A4 Long list ;) I want to do a digital breakout with my Spanish 1 or 2 classes, have Ss work with Google Expeditions and also @FigmentAR and @Storyfab_App#tnedchat
In reply to
@juliedavisEDU, @FigmentAR, @Storyfab_App
A4 I think it would be fun to help Ss create a Google doc or sheet of things to do the first week of school next year. I would like them to make a plan and set goals ahead of time. The doc will be waiting in their Google Drive when they get to school in the fall. #TNEDCHAT
