Madame Vice President-elect!

"Discretion is one of the most powerful tools in the teacher toolkit." Good advice from @billvanlooteach as I review & give feedback on submissions from my 3rd graders, thinking about criteria & constraints in our engineering design process. How much feedback to give? #a2engage

Will you please take 2-5 minutes to complete this short survey? It will benefit my college student kid and his teammates in his communications class as they study the connection between social media and news coverage. Thanks! forms.gle/FYCz9hq6A7GCaC…

Just 2-5 minutes...

I just popped into an 8th-grade breakout room to check in on my students. BOTH of their cameras were on. It was like a sighting of a rare and precious creature - and TWO at once!!

Are you looking for a little support in Using Videos in Your Lessons at a Distance? @newtonkaaps and I are looking forward to sharing with our fellow NEA members on 2/8, 7 p.m. EST. It's not too late to register: nea.org/professional-e…

When we lead PD for adults, their prior experience is critical to the learning experience. This graphic does an excellent job of representing how data that is shared with a participant can be transformed into wisdom by helping them build a bridge between the known and the unknown

In just a few minutes, MEA Online will be hosting a panel discussion about what secondary ed could hold for us post-COVID with @billvanlooteach @teachTECHris @kjaaskel12 & Elizabeth Lulis. It's not too late to join: us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

Coming to A2STEAM and working alongside my friend @billvanlooteach has been a career highlight. He’s finishing strong, meeting one-on-one with his HS engineering Ss. He welcomed & thanked them, encouraged them, & invited them to continue in the engineering program. Project Lead The Way

Will you please take two minutes to complete a brief, anonymous survey to help out my dear teacher friend Mrs. Newton for her graduate work? Thanks!

Are you looking for practical steps to introduce technology into your classroom, or a refresher guide on some tech basics? Check out this NEA article by @boldinbrooks. nea.org/advocating-for…

Practicing my Italian on ⁦Duolingo⁩ and I told ⁦@billvanlooteach⁩ I need to memorize this sentence to say in our school’s staff lounge. No forks? #teacherproblems Happy break!! ⁦A2 Public Schools⁩

A4: When I taught art, I always enjoyed connecting across the disciplines through art. We could always make art about whatever we were learning. Now it’s fun to do similar work with computer science. We can make projects about SS, math, science… #TechEquity

A3: In engineering, as in other fields, PoC, women, and other marginalized people are often left out of the books that remember accomplishments in the field. Across A2, 6th grade students research an engineer or computer scientist with whom they personally identify. #TechEquity

Mark your calendars! Sarah Van Loo from A2 STEAM will be sharing about computational thinking at #macul22 on Thurs 3/17 at 1pm #CSforMI

I’m looking forward to presenting session this with Mrs. Newton, who earned her Ed Tech certificate through #MAET too. We’ve been sharing this information with NEA members over the past two years, and now we’re happy to share it at #MACUL22.

And just like that, #macul22 is over. Our first in-person conference in 3 years was awesome, and I’m already thinking about #macul23 in Detroit! @billvanlooteach, Mrs. Newton, Julie Darling, and I had a great time presenting, connecting, and collaborating. A2STEAM A2 Public Schools
