Do you consider a students age, attention span and instructional gaps when planning your instruction? If you are struggling w/behaviors, the first question I would ask is how long are you asking students to stay engaged on a task? @HenryCountyBOE #BetterTogether #teachertwitter

At the suggestion of @khuangedu I made a lockscreen image you can save to your cell phone of the 10 prompts @pgliljedahl suggests in response to proximity or stop-thinking questions in a #ThinkingClassroom. Is this helpful? Let me know! Want the books? us.corwin.com/en-us/nam/auth…

Use your phone as a drawing tablet! Connect your phone using the #phonescanner option as a 2nd device and just use it a drawing tablet! No need to spend money on stylus/pens. #edtech
