Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 10/02/2025Anyone have a way to encourage students to stay awake? I teach students who are emotionally disturbed. In every class, many come in, lay on the floor, and sleep, not giving us a chance to get started with engaging activities. #education 020

Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 22/01/2025I have had kids who are truly dysgraphic. I want to help them at least be able to read what they write, and a copy of my notes can fill in the rest. I think having other compensation strategies is imperative as well! 010
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Many of my high school SPED students have "hard copy of notes" as an accommodation, but that doesn't address in class issues! I try to help those students at least get to a point where they write 1 or 2 key words legibly. Their effort aids their recall. 120
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 15/01/2025@jerseyblueeyes.bsky.social hello my friend!! 010
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 06/01/2025I see an end to compulsory attendance, an end to SPED and 504 programs. I see money funneled to schools in wealthier neighborhoods (read SAVAGE INEQUALITIES). I see teacher salaries plummeting and so the numbers of qualified teachers as well. I hope I am wrong. 000
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 13/12/2024I am just now becoming familiar with how to use AI myself to simplify some of my teaching tasks! I'm looking forward to seeing how I can help.students do the same, and more! 010
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 02/12/2024I agree because, unfortunately, we are still a misogynistic, racist country at our core. 010
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 02/12/2024I disagree, although I know he said bridge pres. Again. Those on the inside should have done a better job. I believe he felt he had momentum, not arrogance. 000
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 01/12/2024He was betrayed. Those who thought he was too old should have convinced him not to run before he was started. I believed in Harris, her energy and her vibrant ideas. I voted for her with pride. But I know there were many who simply did not vote because of the way she was handed the nomination. 181
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Thank you! I just watched DECONSTRUCTING KAREN ... a must watch. Getting HOOD FEMINISM now! 020
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 01/12/2024I came in late, but was able to participate a bit. THIS is what I've been missing!! #sunchat 020
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 01/12/2024I have been saying this for YEARS! You have to be confident that you KNOW something to reach out into what you do not know. #sunchat 020
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 01/12/2024We are working on being a collaborative, cross-curricular, project-based learning team. I work at a special campus for emotionally disturbed students. It's hard, we all have different experiences and skills in teaching this way, but I see the rewards in student engagement. #sunchat 120
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 01/12/2024I teach HS math to students who historically have done poorly in math, and THIS is how I do it! 110

Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 27/11/2024I cannot imagine throwing away my poetry on purpose! I lost hundreds of poems I had only "saved" in emails on AOL (yes, I'm that old!). I was devastated! Lol 000
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 27/11/2024Why am I here? I miss conversations I had on Twitter, the stimulating ones that helped me start a podcast. I miss sharing strategies for alt Ed and trauma informed practices. I miss seeing what others are doing in education and running with new ideas. Thank you all for being here! #EduSky 0120
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Hahahaha! I opened the form and went hummmm, looks familiar! I'm there! Too many things to remember sometimes! 000

Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Made my day!!! This is my best Christmas present to myself! 030
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 26/11/2024By the way, nice to find you again! 110
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Just played a bit and got an idea or 2! Thanks! 110
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Twitter chats for education were my favorite way to learn from educators from all over. When I left, I went to Threads, but I'm not sure why it never took off. I'm thrilled to see some educhats again! 110
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 26/11/2024How will this work? And I'm so sad I missed it! 110
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 26/11/2024I'm so sorry!! I went to a great training last year, but I'm in a team of 1 math, 1 science! Outside ideas are always exciting! 100
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 25/11/2024The other 2 are super "cute", but I kept returning to the first one. 000
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 25/11/2024I'm in search of #mathteachers / #mathsteachers who have taught using Inquiry Based or Project Based learning. Specifically, I'd like to share processes of idea generation. #EduSky 120
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 25/11/2024I like the first one, I think because it is more direct. As I delve more into overload, and cognitive overload, I wonder if our attempts to make something more visually interesting simply creates more overload. 110
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 25/11/2024I am working on cross-curricular lessons with science! Current PBL- design a park with parallel and perpendicular lines, and determine scale factor and areas, and incorporate circuits for light, a motor and a sound. 000

Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 17/11/2024 Where? To the states, of course. But? Then what? Well, taxes at the state level will increase. State taxes may be implemented in states that have none. Please, convince me I'm wrong without saying t rump won't do that. It's already an IF hypothesis. 010
Michelle Balletto-Wooten @magicmichelle.bsky.social · 17/11/2024A possible consequence of the next administration. As he does away with a variety of federal programs, that doesn't mean that the need for health care and research, education, transportation, food and drug regulation, etc ends, the costs will simply be passed on. 110
