The problem with taking intriguing classes (like #EDR628) and being involved in research and online communities is that I want to spend my summer lesson planning and applying new things and forget to recharge. #toomanyideas

Critical literacy aims at analyzing, critiquing and challenging the norms. It's an understanding of how texts can be manipulated to represent the world or people a certain way. Teaching students critical literacy helps them decipher truth from falsehoods #EDR628

Just talked about our students needing to be positively represented in the books they read in our #EDR628 meeting tonight!

I love the idea of structuring units around meaning-making, transfer of skills and acquisition of knowledge. It brings the application of learning back into the classroom. #EDR628 #UbD

Students need to know how to work in groups and independently. We should work to build collaboration skills, but also the ability to work and think in silence independently. #EDR628

Feedback on #EDR628 Curriculum Projects is so beneficial!

Books can solve all your problems, look here: Sad = get a new book Happy = celebrate with a book! Humanity is annoying? = people are better in books Need to research necromancy? = bOOKS Fleeing a crime scene? = hide behind book as a disguise! not that you need this tip I'm sure!!

We are in denial that summer is over tomorrow. Maybe if we close our eyes really tight it won’t see us! A perfect day of boating before starting year 3!
