PLEASE don’t give advanced students more work because they are ‘gifted’ ... don’t punish them for something they can’t control Focus on less work with deeper layers and cognitive connections

#newteacheradvice if a kid writes / draws you something, find a wall to put it on… create a wall that reminds YOU of why you are a teacher, and it reminds the KIDS you are approachable and willing to see them as people rather than just another student

since I have transitioned from teaching #english to #computerscience, it is only fitting I change my username... I've changed from @english_maven to @lit2bit :-) Looking forward to getting back on Twitter and engaging!

Parents/teachers, want children to read? Let them read what they want. Even comics, graphic novels, etc. Comic books avg 53.5 rare words per thousand, compared with 30.9 rare words per thousand in children's books, and 52.7 in adult books.Learning to read should be enjoyable!

Hey George Couros! we haven’t chatted on Twitter in a few years, but before Covid we chatted fairly often! I’ve changed my Twitter handle since I’m now teaching #computerscience, but I used to be @english_maven (the tatted teacher) Would love to come say hey sometime today!

#newteacheradvice ‘talk to your neighbor’ sounds amazing, but some people are so introverted the only thing they are thinking about is how to avoid talking to their partner… adult presenters: I don’t want to talk to a stranger about your concept…let me ingest it my way…

hey CodeHS , is there not a way to simply upload a PDF document as notes and add that to one of my lessons? I can't find a way to do it... I don't want to add it to an assignment; I want to add them to a lesson so I can cover them in class

Hey Taylor Swift you will probably never see this, but thank you for helping to strengthen my kid’s life for music 🖤

This is more for high school, but you can’t ‘make’ kids work… They have a choice whether to work and earn their grade or not and earn their zero… They have to have the right to fail… We need to try and figure out their WHY, but in the end, the 🏀 is in their court

#newteacheradvice use #ai to create analogies for the content you are teaching… give your kids a google form to find out three things they enjoy, and create your analogies based on their responses… great way to help connect content to their lives #edchat

I was “english_maven” for years on Twitter, but i changed it to “frecroogerx”… it’s still me; just a cooler username ;-)

are there any teachers who have traveled with both ACIS Tours and Passports Travel ? I would love to get your thoughts!

starting a school store with #tsa students…got a little. it of everything! #sublimation #merch #edchat

i’ve been of of twitter / x for a few years: what are the new education chats I need to follow / engage in? #education #teacher

🚨 BREAKING: Google just turned Gemini into an AI operating system. At I/O 2025, they launched a full suite of tools that go way beyond chat. Here’s what just dropped and it’s wild: 🧵👇

curious: is it worth posting #educational content anymore? a few years ago, I was heavily involved in helping teachers and admin find their authentic voice and create student centered classrooms, but lately,it seems like the #education chat is gone… is it?
