Why hashtag meetups are important to building Twitter colleagues - Reflections of a Techie - 0 views

  • Finally I found the Science Chat #scichat on Tuesdays and the 6th grade teacher chat  #6thchat on Thursdays.  Both of those chats were full of like-minded teachers who had some basis in what I liked and wanted to learn.  Both are moderated by some pretty incredible people who are very dedicated to helping others learn...I give them all kudos and respect.

Free Technology for Teachers: Backup plans - some tips for teachers (guest post) - 0 views

  • Every teacher is taught that back up plans are a must.
  • 1. Computer breaks - if possible, have a laptop or netbook available for use
  • 2. Internet goes down - see computer breaks.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • smartphones
  • 3. File corrupted - have backups of your files on a backup system
  • 5. Finish lesson early - have some kind of material to work with if you finish your lesson early. Going to the next lesson doesn't always work depending on the time remaining. You could show a short video about the topic you just finished, you can have a classroom discussion about the topic, have students write a short paragraph about what they learned today (and anything that surprised them).
  • 6. Low attendance - many times there are school activities such as AP testing or class trips that can leave your class looking barren. I always have some kind of extra activity that I can do with the students that are there.
  • 7. Lesson runs long - Sometimes a lesson takes longer with one class than with another due to the student make up, discussion, or other issues that may interrupt the lesson. I try to be flexible when planning and give myself time in the plans for some classes to take longer
  • 8. Class interruptions - don't get flustered. Just come back to class and get started again. You can use the ideas above in #7 to deal with the fact that you lost class time and therefore your lesson may "run long".
  • 9. Students don't understand the material - have a different idea or method to teach the material. A video, activity, or just a different approach can be used to help the students
  • 10. Adapt and overcome - issues will happen. Just go with the flow and put your backup plan into effect.

    Good post on having a "Plan B." What would you add to the list?
