#miched Archive

The #michED chat is a grassroots effort dedicated to giving teachers, students, and parents across Michigan a bigger voice in the conversation about education in our state. We welcome all voices through a variety of projects, media, and social networking. We’re trying to address educational issues through apolitical conversation, spreading ideas and stories of success from Michigan classrooms across the state, and helping teachers and students regain the courage to connect and demonstrate that schools in Michigan are creating amazing opportunities for learning. We want the face and voice of education in Michigan to be a mural of shared experiences and positive examples of connected learning.

It is usually a part of my before-bed routine. I need it to relax after a busy day. It is usually short, but at least I get it in #Miched
kithard Mar 29 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A4: By skipping #miched ;-) JK. I'm very undisciplined but I read when my son needs to read to model the habit and a little before bed.
conrad_chris Mar 29 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A4: Read at bedtime, at breakfast. Need to read more than I do, but I also do out loud reads with my 7yr old... #miched

A4-Choice reading is a GREAT intro for LA classes. 5-10 minutes to start class settles ss down and allows them to focus into L.arts #miched

A4) early morning reading and little tv. The busier I get the more I crave a variety of stories. Helps me forget my stress! #MichEd
Daniell622 Mar 29 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A4) I fit reading in my schedule when I am walking around campus or in between classes #miched
RMWynkoop Mar 29 @ 8:51 PM EDT

I'm seeing a lot of "read before bed" posts. It works as transition for kiddos. Great strategy for adults too! #MichED

A5- I have not been in a book study. I would imagine a historically rich accurate book would be great for a book study. #miched

A5-I have not participated in any book studies up to this point. I have done book blogging for a class, but nothing more. #miched

A6: I think digital reading has helped to broaden my scope of reading. Able to read more from a variety of sources. #miched
kithard Mar 29 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A6: I've become a skimmer. I read digitally constantly, but my reading feels like it stays on the surface, I don't feel transported #miched
mbridgewater3 Mar 29 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Q6: screen reading has made me appreciate books... I have a hard time reading a screen. Maybe if I got a kindle that would change? #MichEd
