Someone mentioned this on Twitter a while back but I don't remember who, I thought it was a great idea. Every month a new education tool/website is picked and people experiment with it for the month and then share how they used it. It'd be interesting to see how others are using the resources out there, perhaps in ways we never thought possible.

@mina - I have run a presidential campaign and it is very effective. Contact me at ghsbulldog@gmail.com if you would like to discuss it more

Like Mina, I would love to chat about ways to implement/teach about a current presidential campaign.

Has anyone ever ran a presidential campain in their classroom? I was just brainstorming and thought it would be perfect. Any suggestions?

I would love to have a chat and discuss how other teachers are using infograhics in the classroom and connecting them with the new Common Core standards

Thanks for all of your great ideas. We will be incorporating these into the chat this summer. Look for an additional chat each week for #sschat. :-)

Meeting the common core with interesting activities that will spark students' interest, ideas, participation, etc...(not too much to ask for now, is it???)

Co-teaching, examples of lessons that may use small groups or really take advantage of having two teachers in there. I am also looking for ideas to improve my students understanding of economic vocabulary

How do you want to grow professionally as an educator? What is your vision? What resources/support can help you on your journey?
