Q6. Let’s get refreshed! What book, blog, or web resource did you discover this year that you could share with other coaches in the PLN? #ETCoaches

A6. I think I am a little late to the party, but I recently discovered Blooket thanks to my wonderful boss Ruth Okoye. I even wrote a blog about the tool... coming soon!

Q7. Now let’s renew! What are your plans for ISTE LIVE 2021? #ETCoaches

Join us tomorrow night with Kristin Harrington #AuthenticEdVentures presenting. You do not want to miss this #ETCoaches

A7. Well yes, I will be virtually attending and presenting at ISTE. I have my own session + 2 sessions with the PLN #ETCoaches Hope to "see" many people at the playground!

Q8. Now let’s renew! What are you most excited about as you look towards the 2021-2022 school-year? #ETCoaches

A8. I would say "hopefully" a return to more normalcy. Our local district was hybrid this year and I can't wait to see all of the students back at the campus! They also voted last night to remove mandates for masks and vaccines. So we will see how that goes! #ETCoaches

Attending ISTE LIVE 21? Join one of our #ETCoaches sessions! Our playground is full of new ideas and strategies.

Save the date for our sessions at @iste #ETCoaches

Greetings. I am getting a late start here. Melissa from PA. I am an ed tech coach. #ok2ask #TeachersFirst

A1. Engaged students are active in the learning process. One characteristic that I notice in MOST engaged classrooms is productive noise (it is not silent). #OK2Ask #TeachersFirst

A2. I think we (teachers and students) become more concerned about finding the "right" answer or getting a high test score... creativity takes a backseat and is only focused on when we have extra time (which is rare). #OK2Ask #TeachersFirst

Oh I like this! I had not considered your first sentence and that is so true, especially in the secondary grades. #ok2ask #TeachersFirst

A3. First, get students involved in the planning and creating! Second, set aside time for creativity. Don't rush the process. Third, demonstrate your own creative thinking during your lessons. #OK2Ask #TeachersFirst

A5. Tech can play a huge role in students' engagement and creativity with the right tech tools! Find tools that allow students to create media, engage in active learning, try out simulations, and more #OK2Ask #TeachersFirst
