    A1 - This year I will not be doing any "loss of recess time" as discipline. Physical activity is too important to channeling student energy! #nt2t
  • seni_bl Jul 28 @ 9:10 AM EDT
    A1: Its often the starting point for changes - change the environment: seats, boards, library, … Do you have detailed plans for these things? #nt2t
  • mrdaraujo Jul 28 @ 9:11 AM EDT
    A1 - This year I'm going to change the way I call students back to attention altogether. Last year I used music cues and count downs; this year I want to use quieter signals, like a hand sign. #nt2t
  • hturk139 - Moderator Jul 28 @ 9:11 AM EDT
    We aren't allowed to take away recess as punishment! One teacher would have students walk around the basketball court x number of times instead. Maybe should have had them run around the court... #Nt2t

  • mrdaraujo Jul 28 @ 9:16 AM EDT
    "Silent wolf" is one I might use if the Hunger Games symbol doesn't work out. Sometimes that elicits the song from the movie to be sung sadly. I read about a teacher using just her hand on her shoulder to signal to students. So I'm still looking for a good one i guess. #nt2t

    For sure! It definitely takes awhile to get used to all of this, but do it on your own time, at your own pace. Don't be afraid to ask for help, which it doesn't seem like you are! #NT2t

  • seni_bl Jul 28 @ 9:21 AM EDT
    Think, that’s the right way. We can’t close our doors at school to technology. It’s part of everyday life and we have to teach our kids how to use it (search and research, writing, creating, evaluate, …) - 21st century skills #nt2t

    I don't know if I could keep up that energy! That's part of why things like TLAP and such are very intimidating to me. I want to just start with something small, but it seems in all the books like it's all or nothing. :( #NT2t

    I have switched roles and am going back into the classroom. My school is on board with technology and between my kiddos devices and the ones in the classroom every student will have access. Soooo... I am going to take advantage of it!! #nt2t
    In reply to @hturk139
  • seni_bl Jul 28 @ 9:22 AM EDT
    Could that be combined with genius hour activities. Think these 20% time for creating and researching/reding are well invested learning time. #nt2t

    A1: When I go back, there is so much I will change! My first year was very rocky with classroom management, but I learned SO much on such a curve, and now I have parenting experience too. #NT2t
  • hturk139 - Moderator Jul 28 @ 9:23 AM EDT
    Ah, so you're older grades when they have devices of their own. I was picturing 24 first graders with iPads of their own that YOU supplied! O.o #NT2t

  • hturk139 - Moderator Jul 28 @ 9:24 AM EDT
    A1b: One thing I did for classroom management that I did like was saying 'When I say go but not before...' before I gave instructions. It made students listen closely for when I did say 'go', and also stopped the S that always starts moving before you're done. #NT2t

    A2 - I'm working on using the Understanding by Design framework to plan units and then making sure my assessments and daily classroom activities point and lead students to my goals for the quarter. Also, I plan on implementing a workshop classroom this year. #nt2t

    In reply to @hturk139
  • hturk139 - Moderator Jul 28 @ 9:26 AM EDT
    A3: This was such a challenge in the area I used to teach in. Many parents didn't speak English and translators were limited so it was very difficult to do impromptu calls home or gets notes translated. Looking into what sort of technology could help bridge that gap! #NT2t
  • seni_bl Jul 28 @ 9:26 AM EDT
    Could you explain your idea of workshop classroom, please? #nt2t

    A3 - I have always considered myself a very good parent communicator. However, this year I am trying out @RemindHQ and @ClassDojo as well! #nt2t
  • mrdaraujo Jul 28 @ 9:29 AM EDT
    A3 - This year I'm planning on changing the frequency of my communication with parents. I want to contact and hear from parents more often. Whether that's phone calls or emails, I also want to contact home with focused, positive stories than I did last year. #nt2t
  • seni_bl Jul 28 @ 9:30 AM EDT
    Could anyone recommend other tools for connecting with parents? Could you share some advantages for these tools? #nt2t
  • hturk139 - Moderator Jul 28 @ 9:31 AM EDT
    General Question: Does anyone's school have policies about texting parents? Do you have a personal policy? It seems like that is often the most convenient and quickest route of communication in today's world. #NT2t

  • hturk139 - Moderator Jul 28 @ 9:32 AM EDT
    One great advantage of ClassDojo is the translation aspect! It doesn't work for private messages, unfortunately, but you can post a message to an individual child's 'story' and parents can translate it to at least get the gist of what you are saying. #NT2t

    In reply to @seni_bl
  • mrdaraujo Jul 28 @ 9:33 AM EDT
    It's a classroom where students will have dedicated time to work on writing and engage in the revision journey with peers and their teacher. I will be conferencing with them individually and "status-checking" them daily. Also, dedicated reading time at least once a week. #nt2t

    We have strict restrictions regarding communication with parents - data security. So it’s not allowed to share information about students e.g. homework because of data security reasons. #nt2t

    My school didn't have a policy but I was personally uncomfortable with parents having my number. I did end up sharing it with a few chaperones and drivers, who later would text me, and I realized I valued my boundary. I hope to not have to do that this coming year. #nt2t
    In reply to @hturk139

    A5 - I'm hoping to engage with more peers and draw on experience from more teachers. Last year, I really only worked with one other teacher. I'm hoping to jump in on the bigger vision going on at the whole school by collaborating with more classrooms and their teachers. #nt2t

    A6: today is an example of my “one thing” with respect to my #PLN - #Twitter chats! I haven’t been as involved as I should be, and want to make an effort to be engaged online, sharing my ideas and learning from my peers. Thank you for tonight’s opportunity! #excited #nt2t
  • seni_bl Jul 28 @ 9:49 AM EDT
    Fingers crossed! #nt2t

    A6. I’m not sure of any other way than the way I’m doing it now #nt2t

    #NT2t A5: what is valid for students is true for colleagues too I find. Celebrating achievements and focusing on the positive developments are vital. I wish there was more of that from school leaders. My goal: Compliment a fellow teacher every day!

    A6 - More Twitter chats and more regular attendance to the ones I love! #nt2t
  • seni_bl Jul 28 @ 9:51 AM EDT
    We have to thank YOU! Together we can learn and grow - it’s kind of open mindset which is essential for educators, I think. #nt2t

    A6 - Engaging in #Edchat and other Twitter chats and interactions! I'm really excited about this impact on my teaching this year. I've already learned a lot this summer from finally getting on board with the education community. #nt2t

    A6: For me Twitter is the best way to learn - so many amazing people I can learn from, so many opportunities for dive in new topics, chances to meet great educators to form an inspiring #PLN. Thank you Twitter! #nt2t

    If you work with youth, as staff or volunteer, in non school #tutor #mentor program, what does your #PLN look like? Do you have a connected network like this? Learn from educator chats like #nt2t, #clmooc, #writrout, etc

    I've toyed with the idea of doing that, but I can't get past my fear of a parent or student abusing the number in some way. Any advice on this or experience with different situations, positive or negative, after giving your phone number out? #nt2t
