Such wisdom and fun. Invigorating even after a long day with students (and our first fire drill). Thank you for the time to reflect on our "why"

Great reminders of the power we have to make a difference (even, especially, this year). What other hacks do you use?

Appreciating technology as a tool for bringing our fabulous staff together. Today staff shared experiences, sad and happy, helping us to stay connected.
A great reminder about the importance of people, place, culture, identity and technology. @KarangaGlobal @TheLearnerFirst @coreeducation @bigpiclearning @EllenPerconti @MrsGraysClass @drkarenedge @PSConsortium @SalzburgGlobal

Dear Fellow Admin, Thank you for showing compassion and flexibility with your staff during these challenging times. They in turn will be able to provide the same for their students. We can do this.

This #MIEExpert experience stuck with me too. Our school Equity and Inclusion team has been reflecting on school traditions and how we can ensure they work for all students @TheBSD405 @TheLearnerFirst
Such a powerful thought that I reminisce about. π€π€ Thank you @Microsoft & @Xbox, especially @brycej, for opening The Inclusive Tech Lab's doors for all of us #MIEExpert at the Underground Learning Summit in Redmond, WA earlier in January! #MicrosoftEDU

We all benefit when we empower our kids.
Do your students help you make your sub plans? Just saw that @KVoge71 and @HeRhymesWithMe collaborated with their students to make sub plans. Super cool. π If so, what's it look like? What do you do? #ditchbook #tlap #edchat #edtech

As admin we can support this. By working to build trusting relationships and communicating expectations of accepting practices such as 20% time, teachers can be empowered to build student-empowering environments.

Yes, and we can empower students to control their tech and be critical consumers
Every day, computers are making people easier to use.. Fascinating insights from Rory Mcgreal on the case for #OER - open education resources. #ICSEI2020

Under no illusion that it will be easy, but we must change our schools. Our kids deserve better, and thereβs no one better to help drive change than empowered students.
Hot off the press: Our national study on how high school students feel at school. Hint: not great! Lots to think about. Some solutions provided: #socialemotionallearning #emotionalintelligence @YaleEmotion @rulerapproach @caselorg @YaleCSC -Read & share. https://t.co/ZnFk4d9FWe

So many books, so much joy! #MIEExpert
@CoLIBRAtoRY @MicrosoftEDU Watching your face was one of the best moments of #E2 (and meeting and talking with you, too!). As @AnthonySalcito started talking, I whispered to @MrsGraysClass and @SinghNBCT 'They are going to give her the books!' and they did! Nice move, @MicrosoftEdu!
