Epic Pals December πŸŽ…πŸ»πŸŽ„


The December EpicPals collections are ready and waiting for you. 
(Please see important note below re: student posts)

Are you new to EpicPals? If so, head over to the #EpicPals page at the top of the blog for additional information to get you started!

------------------------------------------------

** Important Information re: Student Posts **
PLEASE have conversations with your students on what makes a good post and how to be a good digital citizen when working online. We had several issues last month of students leaving inappropriate content in their posts.  If you come across inappropriate content, please feel free to reach out to Bobbi or I to review/remove the content. Although we do moderate, we do miss things as we are not on the boards every day. You can find several resources to help you with these conversations on this previous blog post.

As always, please encourage your students to read others' posts and if they like their post, have them click on the heart at the bottom of the sticky note or leave a comment if comments are turned on. Being reflective and having an authentic reason to like something is a great first step towards leaving meaningful and authentic feedback. 

***************************************
If you have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Bobbi or myself. You can find both of us on Twitter- @smalchow (primary boards) and @bhopteacher (intermediate boards)

Malchow's Tech Bytes πŸ‘©πŸ»‍πŸ’»~ December 2nd~ Hour of Code Edition ⏰πŸ“±

Sorry for the late arrival of this week's newsletter. Our most recent snowstorm here in WI messed with my internet and made if difficult if not impossible to upload files last night so I'm playing catch up tonight with my newsletter and EpicPals. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

This week's Tech Bytes has resources for next week's Hour of Code/Computer Science Week. I hope by having these resources a week in advance will give you a chance to investigate and plan something for your students!
