Hey Teachers- What are some strategies (apps or otherwise) you are using to find calm/peace in the midst of teaching during a pandemic? #teacher_mindfulness

In his TedTalk, Ken Robinson states, "Human talent is tremendously diverse," so we must create a learning environment where all students can flourish. #parkedtech

"Without motivation, there is no push to learn... Without voice, there is no authenticity in learning" -Toshalis & Nakkula personalizelearning.com Bottom Line: In order for students to learn, it must be meaningful to them and it must connect to the real world. #parkedtech

Hey everyone! Here is an overview of my favorite educational tool, Padlet! #parkedtech #edtech youtu.be/IEgd5blHDKE

“It’s about passion-it’s what excites our spirit and our energy.”-Ken Robinson -REALTOR Love this quote’s message. If passion projects could have a slogan, this would be it! #parkedtech teachbetter.com/blog/promote-c…

“Cognitive Wobble: an intellectual dilemma so that the students THINK MORE!”-Jim Nottingham Students develop deep and meaningful learning when they have to work for it! #parkedtech

“Human flourishing is not a mechanical process; it’s an organic process…all we can do is create the conditions under which [students] will begin to flourish.” -Sir Ken Robinson Educators must provide opportunities for students to take ownership of their own learning. #parkedtech

I love @willrich45's belief that “learning is active and social and best takes place through collaboration and interaction.” Collaboration is a 21st-century skill that our students will be able to use beyond the classroom! #parkedtech edutopia.org/blog/deeper-le…

According to @willrich45, education SHOULD NOT be one sized curriculum, teacher controlled, or “Handing it in”, but it SHOULD BE relevant, challenging, and provide autonomy and agency. This is the future of education. #parkedtech

Love Mia MacMeekin's infographic on formative assessments. So many creative ways to check for understanding! #parkedtech #formativeassessment teachthought.com/pedagogy/27-si…
