#Edchat is a hashtag, a movement—it is a weekly organized Twitter discussion of educators and people interested in education that meet virtually from all over the world. #Edchat serves as a conversation thread on Twitter and is also used for organized weekly discussions.
"I do know that I’m excited about education and my profession again, that I see the powerful potential for every single child, and that the beauty of any pursuit is the learning that occurs along the way." —@julierenkoskihttps://t.co/otTuWPkP7c#edreimagined#edchat

Don't spend your whole #SpringBreak searching for grants! On https://t.co/TPpHNofluh, you'll quickly find hundreds of grants for educators so that you can get back to that well-deserved break you need. #K12#grants#edchat
Although still expensive, with the ever-growing world of technology, it is important to adapt to classrooms centered around technology. With the new Pencil support, students will likely be able to “keep up” better than typing notes on the iPad. #edchat
Tami, the iWork suite has great collaboration tools that work very much like Microsoft’s and Google docs. See updates in real-time! #edchat#edtech#edtechchat
I love this chart and will be sure to incorporate it into my teaching. Students are often afraid to raise their hands, participate in group discussions, etc. in fear of being “wrong.” It’s very important for students to understand mistakes are part of learning. #edchat
Apple also announcing a new “shared iPad” feature that lets multiple students use a single iPad, also admin controls to help school IT set up and mange Apple IDs
Gradual Release of Responsibility Learning Model- Model (Modelled- I do...you watch), then Mentor (Shared and Guided- I do...you help), then Monitor (Independent- You do...I watch) #hs4#abed#edchat
Learn about the Vietnam War, discuss questions of war and peace, and view objects left at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial since 1982. Classrooms around the country can connect virtually to the artifacts of the Vietnam Memorial Collection https://t.co/TcQ5X74pO6#edchat
I must be missing something here. @Apple is claiming this to be a cheaper version of the iPad that could be great for schools, yet is is $299 EACH. What school can afford that? Definitely not most public or even parochial. #Fail#AppleEDU#AppleEvent#edchat#teachers
I agree (as a current student) that Google is addictive. For younger students, the access to it and other resources can be overwhelming. That’s why I believe teachers should use technology to their benefit, without requiring students to become invested in it. #edchat
BREAKING NEWS: Research confirms what teachers could have told you for 15 years!
At least now there is some scientific basis to not letting kids have phones in class, since they're way more likely to distract than support #learning#edchat#edtech#schooldiscipline#k12
Apps like this are always beneficial in the classroom and when it comes to studying, or preparing for exams. However, I’ve never found one that I liked that didn’t cost. Is this a free app that all students would have access to? #edchat
Do your own timetables reflect a balance in whole group instruction, differentiated instruction and independent practice. @SueJacksonED#hs4#abed#edchat
Final Days. Principals/ K-8 teachers will you let your opportunity to shape the future of Compassionate Cultures slip past you? #SCCATEhttps://t.co/mRVO3Z62g7
Just last week, a student told me he could not define a word because he had no dictionary, yet in his hand was his smart phone with a gaming application pulled up. I agree—phones in the classroom are definitely more of a distraction than a benefit. #edchat
A school district in Denver's suburbs has decided to move to a four-day school week for its elementary, middle, and high schools 😱

64 years ago a young girl from Topeka brought a case that ended segregation in public schools in America. Linda Brown's life reminds us that sometimes the most unlikely people can have an incredible impact and that by serving our community we can truly change the world. #ksleg

Very interesting article! Graduating from a class of nearly 800, made the stakes of class rank that much more high—it was almost an honor to be in the top 100. However for those in the top 10, it stemmed more anxiety than necessary. #edchat
If colleges are not considering rankings of their applicants, there should be no stress placed on this. And when it comes to valedictorians—sometimes the best person to represent the entire class and give a speech about it, isn’t the one with the perfect GPA. #edchat
"Kindergarten children are confident in spirit, infinite in resources, and eager to learn. Everything is still possible." Robert Fulghum Look forward to #mres and @mizuko webinar #lifelongkindergarten#edchat
Yep. @lkolb recently shared (#MACUL18) that when PPT first happened, it was the THING. Instant engagement.
But not really.
Same with any THING... Good teaching and learning has always been and will always be about what we DO with the resources (Ts and Ss).
#edchat#edtech
As a visual learner, I LOVE this idea. Students who can see their work or the work of others constantly surrounding them, are bound to succeed. #edchat

ALICE active shooter training teaches us to use whatever resources we have available to throw at the shooter. It is important to tell your students that they are allowed to throw and break things (even their iPads!) to protect themselves! #SSEDMethods#EdChat
Interested in attending a conference that explores current & emerging areas in #education? Mark these dates on your calendar for #21CLHK in 2019! #adechat#edleaders#educhat
Although I believe it’s truly devastating for children to attend school with the thought of “what will I use to protect myself?” it is very important for educators and students alike to be as prepared as possible for worst case scenario. #edchat
When a brand becomes static, it loses relevance and value.
When a lesson/unit/etc. becomes static, it loses impact and purpose.
Dynamic learning is the art ensuring everything we do is impactful and purposeful!
Much great insight from @ShakeUpLearning on the topic!
#edchat
Dynamic Learning goes beyond one-and-done activities and allows the learning to live and grow by providing learning experiences that break the bounds of the school day and classroom walls, taking us beyond due dates and prescribed curriculums #shakeuplearning
If you can predict Ss behavior you can prevent Ss behavior! Don’t wait for adverse things to happen in order to respond to them, prevent them from happening in the 1st place! Good discipline takes more time than easy discipline 👌 #Teambcsd#kidsdeserveit#edchat#joyfulleaders
I love this! Even if not for final “exams,” teachers of all grades assign some kind of big assignment towards the end of the year/semester. It’s important to stay creative in our assignments! #edchat
Is equity threatening? Might be time your district had a conversation, but first LISTEN to us unpack this on the podcast with North Dakota’s Superintendent of Public Instruction, Kirsten Baesler and EdSurge reporter @JennyAbamu. https://t.co/gCaHp66mpq#edchat

I understand that to some, this is a controversial topic. But as a future educator, I believe it is very important to remain unbiased when it comes to politics and show our students what is happening in the world around us. #edchat
This is such a great article. What's the difference between power sheets and busy sheets? What are examples of busy sheets in disguise? Read on to find out. #edchat

RT @ncte: RT @allredjohnny: How do you assess students' multimodal creations? As an English educator, I'm not an expert on video/audio editing, visual arts elements, drama, etc. Curious to hear assessment ideas. #edchat#elachat#edtech@ncte
It is also important to mention that a majority of these protests and/or speeches were organized by students themselves! Leadership is a very important skill to teach our young minds. #edchat
Are we preparing students for the demands of college? Are they ready to read the 5000 pages of text required during their first year of college? #plaea#edchat
