Working towards my degree in science education with plans to be a high school physics teacher

A9 make my classroom an open learning environment for students to learn about what they want to, how they want to #ecet2 #eloned


A8 there are always more and better ways to differentiate learning. Constantly reaching out to others for ideas #ecet2 #ElonEd


A7 students not knowing what to expect and not getting into a class rhythm #ecet2 #ElonEd


A6 showing examples of how flexibility has helped them in the classroom #ecet2 #eloned


A5 equal is everyone getting the same thing, fair is everyone getting what they need. equal is not always better #ecet2 #ElonEd


A4 grading should reflect student understanding, not just the number from a test. If understanding happens, grading should show it #ecet2


A3 technology can impede flexibility if a plan depends on technology, then the tech doesn't work #ecet2 #ElonEd


A2 planning ahead and staying on track. making changed lessons still relate to original ideas #ecet2 #ElonEd


A1 being flexible allows for a failed lesson to be turned around into a success when you see what went wrong #ecet2


Joe from Elon, NC. Currently in school for science ed. Worked for a service org for an extra hour #ecet2 #eloned


Being a liked teacher requires more than just pleasing students on a personal level #eloned

Does education have much to do with how many people vote? #eloned

U.S. voter turnout is low compared to other developed countries. Here are some reasons why. ow.ly/mfXy305RlIf



Like in physics, perspective can change how a problem is solved or a situation is handled. This is true in student's mind too #eloned

Open source up to date text, material and lessons that allow teachers to collaborate, making the job easier. I like it #eloned

If #GoOpen is successful, it could destroy textbook companies. But what if the #OER movement doesn't pan out? ednxt.co/2eAGJEG



How do you get students to show what they know? Even a brilliant student might not care to #eloned

Greene: Test scores capture what students know AND their willingness to exert effort to show us what they know. ednxt.co/2dYmgtY



What should be done when kids wear inappropriate costumes to school? #eloned


Volunteered with YMA this morning. Working with kids is so rewarding, even when just playing music for them #eloned


It's always hard to get students interested in what you like without showing interest in what they like #ElonEd

A5. I like to see what Ss come up with. Sometimes is so out of the box from anything I've thought of #DESTEMChat


A4. State Fair always has modern farm equipment, tractors from the past century, really cool for Ss to look at the progression #DESTEMChat
