Lisa Baylis Faith Colobong (she/her) This is so true! I model this with my students. I tell them you what I am having a bad day. Something happened that upset but it is okay to feel how I feel. I tell them how I will work through it. I have some smart grade 4s who always help each other when struggling. #mbedchat

What a wonderful evening. So glad to see you all - even if just on a screen, immortalized in +/-140 characters. So glad I had the opportunity to partake in my first #MBEdChat. I'll be here for the next one, for sure!

Here's an infographic for the SIFT (Stop, Investigate, Find, Trace) Method from the University of Oregon Libraries🔍 #SiftMethod #ICT362

Love this! Definitely something to do even outside of the month of February🙈#FriendlyFebruary

Learned about the #FlippedClassroom model today in my ELA Methods class, which focuses on skill development in class time rather than delivery of material (which is lecture-driven & teacher-centered). More info here: tinyurl.com/mr2vvn52 (thanks, U of Waterloo!). #ICT362

It's important to remind your students that grades/test scores/assignment marks have no bearing to their worth. Numbers/letters do not make someone's identity! Loved this TikTok: vm.tiktok.com/ZMLF4g5c9/. #Affirmations #GrowthMindset #ICT362

This one's for my fellow English nerds who need a tool to teach figurative language to their students: youtube.com/watch?v=3K9pd6…. I've got this rap stuck in my head!! It's so catchy. #ELA #ELARaps #Educational #ICT362

This is a great infographic on how to give feedback! Thank you for sharing, Kinsley :)

Attention: educators! The Nature Conservancy has a series of virtual field trips on their website: nature.org/en-us/about-us… This is a great resource for educators, as field trips typically come with great expense, and are difficult to organize during the pandemic. #ICT362

Loving all the ICT presentations, can’t wait to implement more technology in my upcoming placement! Gotta save some trees this time around! #ICT362

Black History Month is coming to an end but it doesn't mean we should stop educating ourselves. Here is a write-up on how to teach Black history in the classroom in culturally responsive ways: edutopia.org/article/teachi…. #ICT362

#ILoveToReadMonth is also coming to a halt... but we should never stop reading! Always soak yourself in new stories, in new worlds, in new information. It is also Black History Month, so here is a list of must-reads celebrating Black voices: shondaland.com/inspire/books/…. #ICT362

MusicFest Canada has launched the Canadian Junior Honour Band and is inviting undergrad/grad music students to volunteer their expertise by offering free 30-minute private lesson(s) and help a young musician find their passion! MORE INFO HERE: tinyurl.com/yckdke82 #ICT362

Learned about Pear Deck Learning and Blooket from my classmates in ICT today! Such great platforms to use in the classroom. Can't wait to play around with it and use it in my upcoming practicum :-) #ICT362

Me telling myself I can get all these assignments done by Thursday #ict362

With the new year comes new vigor, excitement, and expectations. Lets help our students become their very best. But let's also remember that everyone struggles with something. So lets never forget to be kind, caring, and forgiving. "Relationships before Rigor".

My classroom management improved when I focused more on creativity and collaboration and less on compliance. Instead of trying to catch kids doing things wrong, we celebrated the amazing things they did well, and those “things” got exponentially better because the fear was gone.
