Great session by Emily Tighe on best practices for using @GoGuardian in the #classroom. It shouldn’t be a”gotcha” tool. Interact with #students who don’t want to publicly ask questions. #ifllex

Topping off my #chromebook battery before my first #ISTELive session today.

I can’t resist a catchy session title! Looking forward to some Awesome takeaways. #ISTELive

Lamest Excuses: There's not enough time • Don't say "I have something for you to use" • Tease, don't tell; show end result • pick moment; not busiest time of year • Swap something; don't add • Make it easy • Don't force rubric change • Brag; give teacher credit #ISTELive
