Makerspaces are so great for students. Instead of just taking in information students are able to create, make and demonstrate what they know while continuing to learn. #IM421

It is important to not call out a student in front of the class, but rather to address the student privately or in a non-attention grabbing way. Calling out a student can be embarrassing/harmful to the student & can also disrupt learning. #IM421

While managing a classroom it is very important to remember that all behaviors, positive or negative, are a form of communication. So, before you address a behavior remember to think about what your student is trying to communicate to you. #IM421

research and deciphering between reliable and unreliable sources is a critical skill to have in today's world, so as educators we should ensure that students have opportunities to develop this skill. #IM421

Students use devices for so many things especially now with distance learning. Students now rely on devices as a means to complete homework, attend class, communicate with teachers, and learn content. #IM421
