Mid Year Review...working on an exciting project with schools across Utah. Halfway through our 1st year with over 40 schools. :) #utedchat

Q3 Everyone needs a “do-over” from time to time. What is one teaching moment from the school year you’d like back? Possible fix? #utedchat

bwe545 Jan 25 @ 11:23 PM EST

Hi everyone. #utedchat

LynnSmargis Jan 25 @ 11:23 PM EST

I don't want any moments back, that means i'd be working more for the same amount of money! #utedchat

DaniKSloan Jan 25 @ 11:24 PM EST

A3: When I forget to check for broken links when copying a canvas course from a previous semester. I wish I remembered to check! #UTedChat

LynnSmargis Jan 25 @ 11:24 PM EST

A3: I'm learning from each #coding lesson that I teach everyday #utedchat

ZeldadelosRios Jan 25 @ 11:24 PM EST

A3 #utedchat I would have planned my Maker Space Class for 2 days rather than one.

covili - Moderator Jan 25 @ 11:25 PM EST

A3 One thing I’d do differently - I’d create more video tutorials for my classes. Makes the learning more personal for my Ss. #utedchat

LynnSmargis Jan 25 @ 11:25 PM EST

Or when you've forgotten to publish that module and you can't figure out why the assignment isn't working #utedchat

In reply to @DaniKSloan

SummertimeTech Jan 25 @ 11:25 PM EST

A3: Only one? For me it's the moments when I am distracted and don't give my students my best...#utedchat

Ah! I did that on Monday! Ha! Teachable moment for future teachers! #utedchat

In reply to @LynnSmargis

MikelleGordon Jan 25 @ 11:26 PM EST

A3 can't think of one specific moment...but any lessons I feel like I'm unprepared. Snowy traffic mornings=not ready for the day #utedchat

ZeldadelosRios Jan 25 @ 11:26 PM EST

A3 #utedchat I would have read our copy of the Digital Teaching and Learning Grant earlier. Spend less time spinning square wheels.
