@tedpalenski are we almost ready for our #NYEDChat Reflaction?

In reply to @tedpalenski

EmilyLepkowski1 Jan 9 @ 8:50 PM EST

@mexusmx Yes, starting those research skills early and helping them refine with an eye out for reliable sources #nyedchat

mexusmx Jan 9 @ 8:47 PM EST

A5: so important for Ss to learn how to do a #Google Advanced Search to begin to narrow and refine searches #nyedchat

Newsela Jan 9 @ 8:50 PM EST

What will you do to encourage your students to tackle tough topics in their school or community? #NYEDChat

dgoble2001 Jan 9 @ 8:50 PM EST

Creative outlets & projects that connect to their world I have found are the most successful. #nyedchat

LemarrTreadwell Jan 9 @ 8:42 PM EST

#nyedchat It is about Voice and Choice for Ss. They deserve it!

#nyedchat Q5. Honestly, NEWSELA is an amazing resource for Ss. Controversial current events presented at various lexile levels. Awesome!

@VersoApp allows S to discuss anonymously at first. Good way to get conversation flowing without judgment #NYEDChat

#NYEDChat Reflaction I encourage Ts to allow students to make choices so that their voices rise just like ours are doing on this chat.

Help students understand what to look for in order to protect their fellow peers who may be victims. #NYEDchat

Awesome convo everyone! Love learning from other teachers! You are all amazing! https://t.co/e7Xz2tWCUW #LearnLAP #nyedchat #wonderchat

dgoble2001 Jan 9 @ 8:53 PM EST

Great question. Apathy & lazy are traits that lead people to not fact check or accept negativity. We must model citizenry. #nyedchat

cvarsalona - Moderator Jan 9 @ 8:47 PM EST

A5 the key word in this conversation between @mexusmx and @dgoble2001 is active citizenry. How do we encourage that daily? #NYEDChat
