TWITTER...TWEETING...and #hashtags
- PLEASE consider, if you don't already have one, creating a Twitter account.
- Baltimore County and Joppa View would like our story to be shared.
- Once you have an account, think about TWEETING every other day (quickly during your planning or at the end of the day).
- Tag JVES using @JoppaViewES and use the hashtag #bcpslh.
Twitter is said to be the number one digital professional development.
And we have a lot of great things to share!
Planning Times
Call it Scoring...or Scored...or "This will be SCORED."
Joe Lin brought up a great piece of advice (that Beth Anne picked up on and shared again)
We are SCORING almost everything the students turn in
whether it is graded or ungraded in the grade book.
If students know that something will be SCORED,
it takes away the "well, this is practice so it doesn't matter" mentality.
