All good teams need: Norms, Team Goals, Communication, Agreement on classroom procedures, Common behavioral expectation #AMLE2017 #vted

A dysfunctional PLC has a lack of trust and fear of conflict. PLC leader makes a big impact! PLC facilitator pd!! #AMLE2017 #learnbps

Listening to a session on dysfunctional teams – great info being shared #AMLE2017

Building trust – seek first to understand #AMLE2017

@TLBrocken That’s not who she referenced…will need to look at her notes later. I’ll share…

Wanna have a successful team? Distribute the work load evenly among team members. #AMLE2017 #OklaEd

Listening to @Katy_Garvey – connections before content — this is how we engage Ss in social constructivism #AMLE2017

Look at @Katy_Garvey do her thing…  https://twitter.com/parablevariable/status/927594910429143040 …

I am on my way… #AMLE2017  https://twitter.com/drfurman/status/927877317178871810 …

I made it in time! Listening to @drfurman talk about reading #AMLE2017

When do you #read for pleasure?? #AMLE2017

Research is clear twenty minutes of reading a day has a clear impact on achievement – no other strategy is as powerful @drfurman #AMLE2017

Don’t judge the reader. Give kids access to books of their choice with anonymity. Get them a tablet… #AMLE2017

Kids need to have conversations about books to stir their interest use @Bookopolis for younger kids @goodreads for older @drfurman #AMLE2017

Provide time for kids to dialog about their books #AMLE2017

Use @Plotagon to allow students to write about their books @drfurman #AMLE2017

Email is the new letter…have your kids email others about the books they read. Reading, writing, collaboration anyone? @drfurman #AMLE2017

Kids would read a book if you would #skypeanauthor or #Skype @drfurman #AMLE2017

Have you tried @kindoma for partner reading? #AMLE2017

Allow kids to read at their independent level or enable them to read at their interest level with #audiobooks @drfurman #AMLE2017

If you see a student not reading during #DEAR time, maybe the problem is you @drfurman #AMLE2017

We need to teach kids #valuebrowsing (how you choose what you want to read) and #rereading (reading it again because you liked it) #AMLE2017

Teach kids to #curate their reading lives #AMLE2017

Kids can read on @countable and learn about political process and be able to discuss what they have read @drfurman #AMLE2017

Have you seen @countable @smillerteacher @HowlingMonkey2 #AMLE2017

Don’t ask why a student is moody, that’s an accusation. Help them understand that they are brains are “plastic” #AMLE2017

Culture is social behavior and norms that you have learned but not taught #AMLE2017

A fear based approach to social media doesn’t work #AMLE2017

Social media allows us to find support when you can’t find it in real life #AMLE2017

Social media can be a literal lifeline for kids who feel like they are alone #AMLE2017

Social media helps us to develop job skills #AMLE2017

Social media helps students develop JOB SKILLS … Yes many of these jobs aren’t created yet #amle2017

Social media norms need to help people to be responsible to self, others, and community #AMLE2017

Dignity means worthy it is your inherent right. Respect is connected to action when looking at a person. They are not equal #AMLE2017

When adults abuse power they can’t expect children to respect them, but we need to help Ss to treat all people with dignity #AMLE2017

Students turn to each other to find answers for personal issues so we need to get the best info we can to their friends #AMLE2017

Just because we have poor role models around doesn’t mean that Ss get to behave poorly and we need to spread that message #AMLE2017

From Fear to FOMO – love that idea for a change on outlook for #socialmedia #AMLE2017

Students are feeding their invisible audience #AMLE2017

Every teacher needs to hear how to shift the discussion about Social Media by @cultureodignity #amle2017

Is there a disconnect between how students define friends and the way they pursue them? #AMLE2017

Ss need to learn to make ethical decisions online, help them understand that entertainment does not equal someone’s humiliation #AMLE2017

If they are saying “you don’t get me”, you need to understand their reality #AMLE2017

Banning cell phones is the new prohibition #AMLE2017

The key to building bridges between the generations and social media use is mutual respect #AMLE2017

Just finished an awesome session with @cultureodignity – why is this the first I have heard of them? #AMLE2017

I’m ready…  https://twitter.com/blocht574/status/927931387092533250 …

Getting ready to hear @blocht574 discuss #socialmedia for #middle school #AMLE2017

Questions for Ss: Does the post represent your values? Is it ok for you to post that because someone else did? #AMLE2017

Does this reflect your value system? @blocht574 SUCH a great question to ask students about what they post. #AMLE2017

We need to help Ss understand that #socialmedia is about sharing values help them define their values before they share #AMLE2017

Let’s remove the “cyber” or “internet” and just talk about safety and bullying because it’s all about behavior #AMLE2017

A great entry point for using #socialmedia is @RemindHQ #AMLE2017

Use @facebook for communicating with your parents…kids don’t want to be there with them #AMLE2017

When you start using social media with Ss make sure you educate parents first #AMLE2017

Lots of teachers use class twitter accounts and hashtags to support their instructions #AMLE2017

Great read mention — iGen: Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids Are Growing Up Less Rebellious, More Tolerant Less Happy by @blocht574 #AMLE2017

Twitter ideas from @blocht574: tweet as a historical person, historical document, along a field trip and use @Stories to curate #AMLE2017

Use @EdTechBaton to see different ideas on how tech is being used in different places #AMLE2017

Use @Snapchat for #BookSnaps ar #labsnaps #AMLE2017

Too many #socialmedia accounts? Use @IFTTT to help you manage them #AMLE2017

Final lesson…it’s all about relationships @blocht574 #AMLE2017

Great presentation by @bloch 574  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1AVfNOXicGF62OuybhU4tsJug7DdQ9dra6H3c6q-LZak/mobilepresent?slide=id.g2a8369c696_2_75 …

Working with #primarysources sorting pictures by theme #AMLE2017

Handouts for visual strategies session are at  http://tinyurl.com/y9xmdk25  #AMLE2017

Visual literacy defined: competencies used to engage, read and interpret visual images #AMLE2017

Take thirty seconds to look at an image, then take a minute to write about details you remember, then compare with your group #AMLE2017

Bucket art – sort these pictures into predefined buckets #AMLE2017

Caption critique – choose the original caption for the photo #AMLE2017

Use @quizlet to create caption matching activities #AMLE2017

Teacher performance increases by 90% with on-going coaching! #AMLE2017

Compare and contrast two similar photos using a t-chart, Venn diagram, or a two column padlet #AMLE2017

Hey #etcoaches this is us!!  https://twitter.com/adamgmcphail/status/928000611815231488 …

Use google slides to crop an image into 4 quadrants and give each of 4 groups a different part of the photo to analyze #AMLE2017

Take a photo and “crop” what caught your eye first, the main idea, clues for where and when, tension or a problem, then discuss #AMLE2017

Use a program to annotate over the #primarysource photo with suggestions on what the photo subject is thinking #AMLE2017

@blocht574 Thanks for taking time out to share with us!!

Hey @HowlingMonkey2 @BowerKM have you seen this?  https://twitter.com/mguhlin/status/928089477494509569 …

@MrsMHenning have you seen this?  https://twitter.com/lynch39083/status/928168390061015050 …

Since social emotional learning fits so well with literature it’s a natural place to “add” it to the curriculum #AMLE2017

Book recommendation: “Teaching the whole teen” by Poliner and Benson #AMLE2017

YA literature brings a mirror and a window to the classroom; helps Ss think about others; and creates a safe place to discuss #AMLE2017

Try pairing classic and contemporary texts to expand curriculum choices #AMLE2017

Pairing The Giver and The Hour of the Bees – lots of themes in common #AMLE2017

Compare contrast self perceptions of the character before/after the story; how others perceive the character #AMLE2017

Mask activity: side one is the perceptions of others in multi color – parents, peers and others #AMLE2017

Mask activity: side two use self perception before and after an event #AMLE2017

Try pairing Watched and The outsiders – common themes included social awareness, self awareness, responsible decision making #AMLE2017

Try making a visual representation of the decisions that the characters might make in the future accompanying a written paragraph #AMLE2017

Try pairing Of Mice and Men with Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe #AMLE2017

These two texts have themes of masculinity, identity and privilege; look at cultural values #AMLE2017

Try pairing To kill a mockingbird and The hate U give #AMLE2017

Let’s apply social media to reading instruction and remediation #AMLE2017

Take flight and touch down for audience survey – fun! #AMLE2017

Let’s answer some questions for Ss – why are we reading this and what to do next #AMLE2017

Ss really don’t understand annotation #AMLE2017

Hashtag annotations help students to demonstrate their “conversation” with the text. Limit annotations to 5 words or less. #AMLE2017

This strategy relates to students use of social media and the “get it” #AMLE2017

Hashtag annotations help students summarize and draw connections #AMLE2017

This is an “instant” strategy that students can transfer easily #AMLE2017

Step 1 – identify the purpose #AMLE2017

Step 2- read the text and create your hashtags – 1 per paragraph #AMLE2017

Stand up, hand up, pair up #AMLE2017

Do a rally robin reading your hashtags…interesting…  https://twitter.com/moreruckus2/status/928280625940967425 …

Instead of annotating using paper, I used office lens and @OneNoteEDU #AMLE2017

Ss share hashtags and their reasons for the hashtags #AMLE2017

Use a google form as an exit slip – create a hashtag and explain #AMLE2017

You should check this out @MrsMHenning @HowlingMonkey2  https://twitter.com/alabama_amle/status/928273129335554049 …

Silent conversations using google forms and the responses – students respond to each other #AMLE2017

Great session by @jessica_reddout and @bgriffinteach #AMLE2017

@andrea_m_clark Did you see my notes about the mask activity that goes along with it? Totally a great teaching moment for SEL

@msmargaretlewis This was suggested in a session that I was at today at #AMLE2017 – the presenter suggested that reading Hour of the Bees would be easier for Ss and would naturally lead in to reading The Giver as a next book.
