Hi, Sabrina here! Currently teaching 8th grade science 🧑‍🔬 but adding math to that next year. Pursuing a masters in STEM Ed so looking forward to gaining some tech knowledge to bridge the gap b/t subjects to engage Ss & get them thinking critically! #tch401 #tch401introductions

A #connectededucator works collaboratively with others to bring authentic & engaging experiences to students using the interests of their home, peers, & community. #tch401

Students are online this year more than ever. Check out this lesson from Common Sense Edu. to help kids learn about finding balance b/t their online & offline activities. Protecting the health & wellness of our kiddos is key to #digitalcitizenship commonsense.org/education/digi… #tch401

Just made my first HyperDoc lesson & wish I knew about these before! This would have been a game changer for my remote students. Looking forward to incorporating them next year! #tch401

“If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s, we rob them of tomrrow” -John Dewey #tch401 #radicalcollaboration

Collaborative learning opportunities & authentic tasks must be carefully designed if we want students to engage in dialogue that allows their opinions, beliefs, & potential outcomes to be considered by others. #tch401 #radicalcollaboration

Looking for a fun & affordable STEM activity to incorporate into your class? Try the Marshmallow Challenge. There is even a TED Talks about it I showed my kids at the end! Highest structure built in my classroom today was 70cm! #tch401 marshmallowchallenge.com

Loving this idea-music is so important in kids’ lives. Allowing them to use the songs they know best to link knowledge can be such a game changer in engagement & connection building.

Are chromebooks a staple in your classroom? Check out this article from #GoogleEDU that explains some tools & settings that can be or are already implemented to create a learning environment accessible to all students! google.com/amp/s/blog.goo… #tch401 #a11y

Next year, I plan to incorporate at least 1 STEM activity each month with the help of BNSTEM. During this process, students will work on becoming innovative designers using the Engineering & Design Process! #istestandards #tch401

“Digital equity & equal access does not necessarily mean handing student devices. It is more about what they can create with that technology.” Students should be able to understand WHAT they can do with the tools they are given, not just HOW they work. #tch401 #digitalequity

In order to jump into the feed forward approach, I plan on working with students by giving them specific pointers, one at a time, so they can improve their work & think critically throughout the process #tch401 #feedforward

Using tech & expanding one’s PLN shows commitment to students & learning. Collaborating w/ others on lessons, resources that work, & strategies that promote engagement, demonstrate one’s willingness 2 b innovative in their teaching & reach their students. #tch401 #401reflection

Best apps, websites, or ideas in general for helping assess students in project based learning? Looking for different opportunities for my students to showcase their learning in creative & non-traditional ways. #tch410 #PBL #projectbasedlearning #assessment #edtech #learning

Small acts of kindness add up, and in the end may save the world.
