Congratulations 2 you both. Well deserved gentlemen!
Sometimes that's the best way! https://t.co/3c8zSN84as
Went out of my comfort zone by not waiting on others to start some new things at my school, took charge myself

Hi you 2! Open House 2nite. Only here for a bit!

Yes for teachers and students!
A2: So hard! Prob using iPads (none in K) & & time! They eat it up!
A2: Our debate unit in 8th grade. Hands down.
I think kids are, generally, interested in learning, not in is sit/get or drill/kill education. https://t.co/lcoHKkUNr4
but kids are interested in academics right. If it is not interesting, why teach it?
Completed my first year teaching.Taught HL LC English. Set up my blog and changed a few difficult kids lives.
. There needs to be general consensus that education must be about personal and professional growth.
So going about it in a way that is interesting to them is, IMO, a better option. https://t.co/lcoHKkUNr4
but kids are interested in academics right. If it is not interesting, why teach it?
A2: the influx of chromebooks and iPads...all the devices made it easier for Ts ad Ss to dig in and learn
you legend Myles - welcome mate
There's even a time for game based learning if used properly
Completely agree!! but if that is their sole purpose then it isn't being used right.
A2 the loved the mock trial, meeting the mayor, writing their own laws
Congratulations, it gets easier but never loose the belief and passion for students!
Ss love fall math. We measure bones to determine height, calculate who can run fastest from zombies, + pumpkin circumference.
A2: My answer to Q1 was based on Ss end of year reflections. Over and over they mentioned their love for hour of empower.
A2) Genius Hour, Interdisciplinary movie making unit and STEAM, were never exposed to those things before, ,
A1: Ss loved Mystery Skype because it was challenging. New centers because they think abt. Math differently.
A2 I would hope it would be that they have learnt many new computing skills to confidently work independently
A3: as a coach hard to answer but I loved seeing Ss grow in their understanding about mathematical thinking/reasoning.
A2) learning about and how to use 3D technology to bring learning to life
A2) Teach a strategy, could be anything: had lip dubs, dunking a basketball, grooming a horse etc. we learned about each other

. Been trying this year to encourage teachers to encourage students to join PLNs.
Trying to find time to slot in into already overloaded curriculum with 4 grades/classes that I teach
A2 being offered a place at university Why? They know what their next stage is.
Congratulations Craig! Happy for you!!
Agree as long as you can connect it to learning.
Creativity is where its at, Lisa. A1

A2: In the Southern Hemisphere 1/2 the year to go. Jackson says Skyping with other classrooms! (student statement)
A2 Realizing that it was ok to question things, in fact, that it was encouraged. Question all, make up your own mind.

A2: I would hope that it is learning new things in a fun & engaging way - I pride myself on having fun and engaging learners!
A2: Highlight of the year was dissecting veal hearts and watching them snapchat a learning experience
A2: Some would say field studies / school camp - outdoor real learning is always the most engaging and fun
A2: My 9th grade students loved turning Euripides' Medea into News reports & blogs.

hahaha btw folks at the Alamo don't get that joke... Trust me!
A2. The things we built for a teepee and an "amusement park" and the first time it has snowed since they were born
My answers may be a little basic since I'm still in undergrad :/
yes their words: we liked being challenged and being creative and sharing it with others!
Also Hoping to do more next year. I know that does lots.
Thanks. I created them myself, but easy to implement. Zombie run: Ss run 40 m, & calculate speed per sec (1/3)
we shook the tree a bit but teachers are getting on board we are going to help some kids & turn some heads
A2: Highlights would have been using the Chrome books for the 1st time & being able to take them home https://t.co/rbbVAzHqrh
Now, to convince the rest of the world. :)
that is fantastic! I dressed up as cat in the hat but Spider-Man wins!
Presenting 2 Ts yesterday/posed this Q:What have you done 2 infuse your passion into your teaching this yr? A1
I can't wait to try that myself!

A2: students love when I play music. I had a softball class at 8 am w/ college S. Music got them to wake up and move
Bones: purchased fake long bones from science store. PBS has info on approximating height (2/3)
I love using Pandora in my class as well.
A2: Ss might say their highlight was doing more hands-on science and figuring things out for themselves.
. Sounds great--but watch out for shaken-vegetation syndrome.
Q3 coming up in 1 minute ………..
Teaches students to critically think and deepens learning.
I love hearing Ss say that they love be challenged. Creativity moves them beyond comfort zone. A1
Great question for teachers.

A2) It would be the varieties of delivering content and creating. They also love a good
Yes and does so by giving the necessary time, space and resources.
Either that, or a 60 mph fastball up and in. That would work too.
True, overripe fruit shaken from the tree often end up bruised. https://t.co/GJct4CrwMD
. Sounds great--but watch out for shaken-vegetation syndrome.
that's my fear too not to shake too much! 👍
I think that's what my Ss loved so much about my math groups this year. More hands on learning.
Snapchat can be used for good. Who knew? ;)
. Creativity rezones the comfort zone!
Pumpkins: parents supplied pumpkins. Kids found circumference and weight. We discussed correlation (3/3)
A2 - 1 Giving STUCO speeches in Washington 2 Building a Solar Tree 3 Attending a GIN conference in RIO https://t.co/2h3Bfa1c84

A2: The highlight would definitely be being in our new academy bld. Next year's group? We're going 1:1! 🎉

Let me know if you need some help! https://t.co/ery8Qw8NKh
Ah yes the Goat is a bit of a local celebrity. Lots of questions about us doing a 24hr Skype inspired by your class. No just yet.
Nice. I also like the Gladiator quote "What we do now echoes in eternity..."
A3: I don't have one...yet. I teach seniors and I prefer a relaxed approach to the EoY.
A3 I had my students create games (like Jeopardy, Family Feud...) to sum up year's learning https://t.co/wX78q1pYF1
. The PLN can create life-lime learning, happy college experiences, winning careers, and much more.
A3) I love to give them an open ended problem & let them loose to work on it as they wish, applying all they have learned
I use with my 2nd graders. They love collaborating and creating with peers.
A3: class book & countdown last 26 days of school w/ each letter of alphabet, community circles to reflect on year.
A3: Because I supply - I tend to or :D
A3: Mine would be students presenting us their digital portfolios.
A3) We do shout outs & compliment learners & Ts on their year, do classroom awards ceremony highlighting each S
This is my own EoY S survey in Survey Monkey. I have been a classroom T for nine years. I always ask them.
exactly! Focusing on what's best for the kids helps me cope with it
I'll put that on my asap reading list, thanks! I don't use it, bt if Ss want to show off learning, I'm down for sure
Personally I'd go with music too. We had a lip sync battle at our faculty end of year picnic. It was epic.
Students complete a wevideo showcasing their passions of the year and also bitmoji! A3
I love this idea and would love to hear more about it.
I teach 4th grade (9/10 yr olds)
Thanks, Angela. It sparked interest when it popped up on .
A3) Students created their journey using infographics
Great quote! 👍🏻We in Ireland look up to the New Zealand education system!

This past year I used in 2nd grade. They loved the collaboration piece and how easy it is to use
A3: Favorite end of year activity has to be the day w doing and our Mystery Skype Skyeathon w Ps.
My learners are all adults now but their faces beam too.
A3: Using or embedded onto a blog for the children to have a free choice of their favourite part of the year
A1:I dove into reading PD books & embraced throwing out grades. I challenged all that I ever was "trained" to do as a teacher.
A3: games as well like Jeopardy, Family Feud, Password, charades, & :)
I can use that Q in my PD sessions for teachers! Powerful.
A3 after the testing they do the create your own country pjt and love it
Thanks for sharing! Very interesting. What do you create with 3d printers?
A3: I love to get Ss completing an 'about me' self-interview to sum up their year using any media source they choose-powerful
Sounds good to me Leslie! 😊 Good to "see" you here, missed you!
If you bring it back to the kids it will always turn out for the best! :)
A3: I always have Ss do a major project. We've started businesses, made mini-golf courses, carnival games, garden plots, etc.
A3: got to spend a day playing with Google Expeditions! So fun, and the kids LOVED it!
I used to teach g2 and loved watching them soak it up....👍👍
Have you heard kid used 3D printer to make braces?
A3 we had a science fun day that was amazing! & we danced the kids out to busses on the last day https://t.co/LgwDHi5Nsi
We used to end the year with numerous Book In A Day activities. Now it's planning relevant & engaging PD for my Ts.
A3: I also love the final assembly. Whole school community together for one last time. Moving and rewarding
I'm trying to learn it myself
yes, can be a powerful tool for learning
A3: also complete a survey for me about year; what was good; what can be better,& what advice would u give to incoming class
A1:a success? NOT grading my unit writing assignments, giving them feedback instead. Ss grew tremendously as writers.

Those are my favorites so many good responses https://t.co/2U12gwvNgi

No worries for being late. Glad you are here.

Padlet is great for equitable access to all student voice.
Could be a cool way to showcase classroom, but I'm an old fart about Ss privacy
A3 I didn’t do a good job here. I let state testing/finals/etc. get us bogged down. I need to plan better on this.
Artifacts of our learning, things we invent in our minds, solutions to problems, etc https://t.co/FWpnNnFOLd

3. We collected all our pics from our phones & made this large & great facebook album with all the fun things we did together

Fantastic. Exactly that. Schools are families and those outside of that community can often forget that.

A2:my 9th grade Ss would choose their personal narrative project.mIt was something they ended up feeling really proud of.
me too that one makes me nervous
feeling is mutual! Great to meet new educators as well... is rockin tonight
A4: Real conversations with the students - talking to them. We also hold regular parent evenings.
A4 I did Google Forms for Beg. of year, I should do another for end of year. Glad this Q came up, thanks!
I saw in concert 2 days ago. Check out my display picture :)!
A3: Also love when next year students come to visit the class and this year's students tell them how it works !
A4: give Ss and Ps a survey to fill out. Allows me to see what went well and what are some things I need to work on next year.
How was ? Thinking of trying next year..do tell!

Open House in a bit. Need to eat some din-din 1st. Thanks & the whole PLN. Enjoy end of year & summer! Ciao

I try to set a good example for them. I like when they see me post positive things
A4: I use google forms surveys and notifications to stay in touch, but I LOVE face to face contact more!
A4) I had four reflective questions on the board and students recorded themselves on answering them.

we have to utilize this more too
Amazing. I observed a T using it, but didn't really "get it" until I tried it with my own Ss. They loved it too!
I don't post about them, but try to be present and guide them in their own posts.
A4: great Q! It's crucial to ask all the stakeholders and reflect. I like personal conversations when possible
At the end of the day nothing beats f2f with parents, students or collaborators. See you in Aug
our field day is a great day too. Our Ss love how competitive the Ts get in cheering them on
Would you mind sharing your form?
A3 Open conversations with students, they need to know I care and I appreciate their honesty.
A4: Google form surveys! Quick and easy. Sometimes I have students answer a few reflective prompts to answer
A4: Ask Ss to write anonymous notes. They're really honest, and it has helped me become a better T.

Can't grow if we don't hear the truth! We all have areas we could grow on.
A4: had to use Ss feedback to tweek the Google Stu Cert...Ss were happy to see me take their advice
A3 a team table quiz each child asks one question & gives answer we create rounds of 5 questions tables answer great fun
A4 we utilize a variety of electronic surveys. I want to start a suggestion box & work more to build our pto
A4: Surveys, Facebook (intentional), but data is usually collected throughout the year.
Even in a rough year when I am tempted to cancel it, I still ask. Q wording has changed a bit. It's feedback.
A4 Annual School Council BBQ is a lovely end-of-year event for our school community
. Maybe during back to school, could have a few questions about prior year built in. Gives them time to digest.
Absolutely, and if used, I would like to see it used to make parents feel part of sch community
Our answers were so similar! Yay!

A4 with it being such a small community Ps come in and chat. Ss and Ts have a end of yr debriefing which is fun to hear
A4) School distributes survey to parents, I interview Ss during EOY phone calls likes/dislikes, Ss made video about yr too
A4 in the past, i used journal writing with Ss this yr i will try google forms both with Ps and Ss

A4 in the past, i used journal writing with Ss this yr i will try google forms both with Ps and Ss

A4: I have my Ss fill out a class eval, which is so informative for my planning of the next yr. I love getting their feedback
I have a seperate one for Ps I can share with you if you want it.
speakers tend to come if they can go to more than 1 school a visit. They also tend to lower prices

Face to Face always has the up front and honest, personable approach. Can't beat it!
