July’s (2017) Best Tweets – Part Three

by Larry Ferlazzo / 1h

Every month I make a few short lists highlighting my choices of the best resources I through (and learned from) Twitter, but didn’t necessarily include them in posts here on my blog. I’ve already shared in earlier posts several new resources I found on Twitter — and where I gave credit to those from whom I learned about them. Those are not included again in post.

Good PSA Video For ELLs & Everyone Else: “No call or text is worth your life”

by Larry Ferlazzo / 7h

by Larry Ferlazzo / 1d

As many teachers already know, one of the most effective responses we can make to classroom management problems is by saying: “I’m not feeling respected right now.” Assuming you have good relationships with your students, I’m not really sure if there’s anything better we can say in the moment.
