āØHey, #XPLAP Crew! I teach 7th grade ELA in NE. I'M READY TO TURN UP THE CHEER TONIGHT! šI thought I could get away with this GIF tonight, since it's my bday! @burgessdave@mrmateraāØ
Hi, Michael! I have a disclaimer... it was arm day at the gym, and I'm 1 chat in already, so it's possible you could dominate me in the GIF game tonight! #XPLAP
A2: BOARD GAMES! Games that bring people together around a table... Bring their hearts together, and make lasting memories with all those involved... That is what I like to play... #XPLAP
A2 Love strategy games like Magic: The Gathering - made a card thanks to @MrPowley inspiring me. Also added adventure & sandbox games like Mario & Minecraft! #XPLAP
A2 So my forays into gamification have their roots in running games I used to create in HS that now our HS runners play during their summer practices. I'm committed to gamifying our 2018 summer running program #XPLAP
No, I haven't! I'll be sure to add that to my research! We play a game we call Infected where 1 person starts off as it, there's an established boundary & time limit, & the goal is to not be tagged before the 50 minute run is over. If u get tagged U R infected & tag others #XPLAP
āØA3: LET'S CELEBRATE! We just finished testing today. The kids did a great job and all of the technology worked perfectly thanks to @Coach_Sautter. Now, it's time for a little more play and a lot more celebration! #XPLAP!āØ @mrmatera
our testing happened in the fall, no idea why we have it then, but at least don't have anything to worry about for that right now. #xplaphttps://t.co/gF1s1iY6eF
Donāt worry friendā¦ I will still love youā¦ In fact, due to your confession, I think I love you even more than I did beforeā¦ But next time you are in townā¦ I might have to give you a chance at it! #XPLAP & #ZELDA Workshopā¦ Now that would be awesome!
The 1st round of tests are finishing, just in time for us to start more testing. In 1st grade we have to set 1 on 1 with students and do about 45 minutes of testing per child while the rest entertain themselves. #XPLAP
OMG!!! IS this a true statementā¦ NES Track and fieldā¦ or our you just making fun of my nerdy gamer sideā¦ If this is trueā¦ You are super cool! #XPLAP
A4: I love my town... Anyone that have watched my Youtube channel knows I live by the lake... I love driving to work and watching the sunrise... #Humbles me and sets my course for the day... Love it! It is like this everyday! #XPLAP
āØA4: INDECISIVE! Nebraska weather is incredibly indecisive. It was gorgeous this morning, raining this afternoon, and who knows...probably snowing tomorrow! #XPLAPāØ
āØš"If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes; only then would you realize how special you are to me." This is an #EduGIFs creation made by one of my students for a #CelebrateMonday writing reflection. #XPLAP#TLAPšāØ
Most things in life can be addressed with a positive attitude and intentionality. Make time to find inspiration and/or to challenge yourself to try something new in order to get out of the rut #xplap
A5: This is a great time to get off the pot & DO all the great things you want to try... I love 4th quarter... It's a time of action & bold moves. Don't let this time slip by due to looming summer. Spring is a time of planting! Plant today what you want to reep tomorrow! #XPLAP
This was one of my buddy fav gameā¦ Something told me you would like a fast pace game like thatā¦ The bling must have something to do with it. #XPLAP
A6 This is my current theme... Well the audio narrative at least. (Inspired by Zombies, Run actually) have to open the link to see the YouTube playlist... #xplaphttps://t.co/G6xuTq8VTr
More learning or was it??? still wondering how the students found a way to be in charge #learnlap - Part of my philosophy give the students opportunities to teach so I can learn #xplaphttps://t.co/0CfeguYMMt
Yup - Found a GIF of the eyes and breathing... combined them with the hood and text in Google Drawings, then uploaded to Giphy to make the end GIF. #XPLAP
āØA6: CONSTANTLY CHANGING- I'm hooked on #TLAP room transformations, so my theme is always changing. Next year I am leveling-up my #XPLAP classroom gamification to a year-long game, so I need to start brainstorming themes!āØ
A6: No specefic classroom theme yet; however, some of the cards that we use in our original co-created game have themes. One card has a Cinco de Mayo theme! (Dia de los Puntos) #XPLAP
A7 im reading a US Grant bio that I hope to finish while sitting on the beach... Bit could only find a Hugh Grant gif (which is cool because he's my fav) #xplap
A7: Applying to the University of Alabama for my Educational Specialist Degree and helping my fiancee get her new classroom ready! (She just got offered a position.) #XPLAP
A7: While I am thrilled to get the chance to present at 2 conferences this summer, the majority of my time will be spent chasing my little ones around! I love this time with them though! My little girl will be in Kindergarten this coming fall! #XPLAP
Hey #XPLAP join in the fun by taking the #Five4Five challengeā¦ Love to see how you start to transform your lifeā¦ Start todayā¦ Many #XPLAPers have already joined in the fun.

A7: I get to teach middle school tech camps most of the summer. Thisāll be my 3rd year teaching it, and itās going to be epic! @BlackRocketLLC#XPLAP
@MrPowley I wanted to tell you I was inspired by your dreadsheets. Made a spreadsheet that shows Ss how much their work powers a shield to protect their houses from the enemy. Itās tied to sidequest xp. #XPLAP#xplapcamp
