Fantastic tips for “flexible, resilient” teaching in this year’s environment. Seriously, as always @Angela_Watson has practical advice for approaching the problem. Make sure to read/listen to tips in 2nd half of episode: thecornerstoneforteachers.co…
Fantastic compilation of classroom structures for teaching reading, writing, small group, etc. And not just for distance learning.
There's been a lot of conceptual thinking about teaching online, but not quite enough actual how-to. This fantastic post from @triciaebarvia is definitely the latter: 24 structures for online teaching in a block schedule. Bravo. triciaebarvia.org/2020/08/09…

Thanks to the Parkland Education Foundation for purchasing $2800 of books for all schools that explore the history of racism in America, confronts its current state, and address how we can move forward with real change to treat all racial groups as equals.

Always found @Angela_Watson to provide clear, valuable advice for the classroom; now as "new normal" changes every day, she provides some thoughtful perspective on what that could mean for teachers: "fewer things, better" thecornerstoneforteachers.co…
Appreciated the opportunity to share just a few of the ways @Schoology and @usekamiapp have saved me time (and lessened the stress of teacher workload!) with fellow teachers today #psdready21
.@amyhm18 @DeLucaPSD share the power of G Suite integration, & how time & experience has made their @schoology presence even better at MS, & @willreadit and @TheNeffwork give the HS #psdready21 perspective, especially how much we love the @usekamiapp integration w touchscreens!

“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”

Heading to the airport after a stellar #SchoologyNEXT and already thinking about how I’m going to put some of these ideas into action as soon as I get home. The hype is real! Thanks @Schoology for an awesome week in Boca!
The sun’s shining and it’s a great week for #blackoutpoetry y’all. Looking forward to seeing what the kids can come up with. My marker skills could use some work, but otherwise a good start! #poetrymonth

Interesting read! "Students are all hearing the same advice, so they, of course, end up looking like every other applicant. What they thought they should do is actually contributing, in large part, to them not standing out.”

Was wonderful to see the looks on the students' faces as they entered that room! Many thanks to @asdcentral and Ms. Christa Held, Dr. Sandt, Sam Klotz, Savannah Monks, the Parkland seniors, and especially Liv Faenza for leading the way to make those smiles happen!
Blessed that our neighbors @ParklandSchools collected all of these items for our Eagles. We love our extended family that comes together at the holidays to help spread joy!! #spiritofchristmas #holidayseason #SeasonOfGiving @PADeptofEd #publicschoolproud #blessed
Just in time for our post-Brave New World dystopia projects!

"I love writing essays. There’s something satisfying about rendering the chaos of thoughts into an elegant form. But I love blogging more. It feels like playing."
"If we're trying to prepare our students to think critically and argue well, they need to be able to blog. It allows for interaction. It allows for ideas to be tested," writes @wrightsroom bit.ly/2yS7a0z #WhyIWrite #edchat #elachat #writing
