@marcizane Sorry, but… ugh. How 'bout we expect teachers to be professionals and stay current? Let them pick, be responsible adults. in reply to marcizane #
@marcizane @justwonderinY I'm thinkin that you lose your job if you don't stay current…. just like engineers, doctors, etc. in reply to marcizane #
@marcizane @justwonderinY At some point, admins have to be free to cut people lose if they aren't learning & professional, yes? #edchat in reply to marcizane #
@marcizane How do you know if a student is learning? Don't we know this, if we are observing and noticing? Same for admin-teacher. #edchat in reply to marcizane #
@stumpteacher You're speaking my language here this evening. Thanks for sharing. #
How 'bout no more groundings, 'wrap ups, gallery walks, and sit-and-listen-then-think-pair-share in PD? Makes me feel 5 years old. #edchat #
Instead, how 'bout we do PD a la #educon where we share cool stuff, and people a free to learn, share and use tech freely? #edchat #
Ditto. RT @tomwhitby: A big Thanks out to @kylepace & @mbteach for moderating this lightening fast #Edchat this week. #
@ScottElias @dkdykstra (rolling eyes) I think I'm fortunate when I don't know what you mean by 'jigsaws'!!! #edchat in reply to ScottElias #
