The human story will endure regardless of the tools. Technology is merely the vehicle we use today to tell our stories. We believe if we use digital tools to help Ss tell their stories AND use them to hear the stories of others, they will be inspired to take action 4 a better 🌏

I will introduce the importance of the AoW in class tomorrow by having students discuss this political cartoon. Most students will not understand the cartoon because they will not know the meaning of "gerrymandering." You have to know stuff to read stuff.

Teachers, remember you are not in competition, but you're on the same team! Great teaching in isolation benefits a few, but in collaboration it benefits many! So, encourage, inspire, & motivate each other! Build a strong team culture!

Agreed! Aligning assignments to standards or learning objectives is an easy way to grab actionable formative data! @sterao8
Great call by the @Schoology product team to make the learning objectives button more prominent. Placing standards when you add materials will pay off when you analyze mastery reporting with students, parents, and colleagues. #SchoologyChamps #SchoologyAMB #SchoologySurprise

Giving students choice to help them decide how they may best absorb the information! #fcpsvanguard
Taking notes on rhetoric yesterday, and students had choice in their note-taking style. It was awesome to see the decisions they made and talk about why. #fcpsela
