I've been so bad about updating my classroom blog but I finally got around to it. Click here to see how we use iPads in kindergarten to enhance learning:

Using the iPad as a Daily Tool

iTeach with iPads
This. Has. Been. A. Week! Fortunately I live in a place that soothes the weary soul. Happy Friday!
I was called “bruh” today by one of my kindergartners. When I said “Excuse me?” The child said, “Sorry, I thought I was talking to my mom.” 🤦‍♀️ #edutooter #kindergartenproblems #bruh
A former student, now in first grade, struggles with sitting still long enough to "complete his worksheet packets every day." His new school has strongly encouraged medication. This breaks my heart. If a child is struggling in his environment, we change the environment, we don't medicate the child to "fit" the environment. #edutooter #K12
@DavidKnuffke @edutooters @edutooter Agreed. I think humor and vulnerability should be on the list of relationship- and culture-building practices, too. I've never found a better tool than vulnerability to teach empathy.

Fitting in at University:

Longitudinal study (N = 829) finds first-generation university students conceal their social background more than continuing-generation students in order to fit in at university, but their identity concealment results in poorer well-being.
