Feelin’ all warm and fuzzy with this awesome learning today! 🤩 #edcampGA #PLN

Day 1 of #digitallearning. I decided to use @Flipgrid to post a morning message to my Advisory. I've been sitting here waiting to see which student would post first. It just came in, and I could not be happier to see her smiling face!! #relationshipsmatter #letsgoteachers

The Google Meet Grid View Extension was amazing to have for my lit circles this morning. Just shared with my entire staff and they're thrilled too! Thanks for this post Eric Curts! controlaltachieve.com/2020/03/meet-g… #teachfromhome #distancelearning #GoogleMeet

Challenged my students to the #bookcoverdouble challenge from NY Public Library. Had so much fun making my own submission. Can't wait to see what they came up with! #harrypotter #teacherlife #quarantinefun

Been a hot minute since I was on Twitter, but I am SUPER excited to be #mentormatched with Shana 👩🏻‍💻 for her Google Innovator project! Can't wait to hear her ideas for the #ELA classroom. Time to pay forward all the advice I got from MarkGarrison! #GoogleEI #DEN18 #VIA20

Feels good to get reconnected with the #GoogleEI community! Met Devin Rossiter tonight and realized there's a whole crew of Innovators with projects connected to nature education & the outdoors - but we should all connect! Who's in for a Meet session? DM me! Katie T-W 🌍 🌲🍁🏔🏕

Listening to my 8th graders talk about their applications for high school and plans for college. They’ve grown up so much since 6th grade. Gonna be so sad to let these kiddos go after three years together, but dang, they’re gonna do big things! 💕 #teacherlife #middlegrades

Lessons learned from 8th graders today: apparently you shouldn't chew peppermint gum with a mask on. Apparently the fumes are so powerful your eyes will water.😂😷 #teacherlife #middlegrades #wearyourmask #lifelessons

Had my first #GoogleEI mentor meeting w/ Shana 👩🏻‍💻 - SO excited for her project! This #ELAteacher w/ a history degree (as my Ss sometimes call me) is going to learn so much from her finished product! #VIA20 team did an amazing job of prepping new innovators for their work. 🙌🏼

I’m in awe of all these amazing educators I see presenting at virtual conferences. All I can think is “how on earth do you do it??” I’m barely staying afloat and can’t process beyond the hour in front of me. I miss having energy for passion projects. #teachinginapandemic

My Ss are THRILLED at the edition of the citation feature on #GoogleDocs. First day using it and they can't believe how easy it is. #ELA #MLA4Life #MiddleGrades #teacherlife #GoogleTools

I’ve track Covid numbers and rates in Georgia daily through multiple reliable sources for months, but NPR, no one else seems to have this huge spike showing in their numbers for my state. Typo? Or am I missing something?

A student (who generally only reads when required) just said, "I don't know why, but this book is just SO GOOD." I replied, "I know why. It's because it's written by Jason Reynolds News." ❤️📚 #boyintheblacksuit #YALit #teacherlife #bookworm #ELA #booksbooksbooks #loveagoodbook

You know you’re an #edtech nerd when you notice (and are slightly annoyed by) a character referencing making a #PowerPoint on one page and using a #GoogleDoc 5 pages later. #teacherlife #YAnovels #nerdalert 🤓

School hosted its first virtual #talentshow using video submissions. This is the future. Saw stuff we'd never see in person: bouldering, harp playing, original techno songs, BMX skills. A reminder that some good things have come from this craptastic year. #proudteacher

Anyone else feel like the predictive text in Google Docs has gotten ridiculously more accurate in the last week or so?? I can't decide if I love it or am thoroughly creeped out by it.

This teacher born and raised in NY got to teacher her Southern students what a snow blower is today thanks to CNN 10. Or as the kids said, “It’s like a lawn mower for snow!” 🤣 #themoreyouknow

As an #ELAteacher, there is no greater feeling than getting the right book into the hands of a kid. #provemewrong #middlegrades #teacherlife #teacherjoy

I don’t know who else needs to read this today, but I’m grateful seeing this this morning gave me the courage to approach someone about this same issue today. #speakup ⛹🏼‍♀️👑

The trifecta of brilliance: Jason Reynolds News @DrIbram @BLoveSoulPower So much respect for the work of these three. I’ve heard them speak so many times and every time I am so moved and so inspired. #AntiracistBookfest
