While students enjoyed one more day of vacation, Bellevue Public Schools teachers were hard at work collaborating and learning in classrooms at Bellevue West on February 15, 2015. The classrooms were buzzing with teachers actively engaged in professional development activities. Teachers were able to choose from a variety of session topics including instructional technology, math, co-teaching, art, NeSA-ELA, HAL and others.
Sessions were led by a number of our own Bellevue Public Schools educators as well as members of the ESU 3 professional development team. Some of the experts from outside the district included Dr. Villa on co-teaching, David Dechant from EHA and Julia Hebenstreit and Jill Hamilton with suicide prevention and mental health.
Schoology, a learning management system, was the tool of choice to smoothly share resources with teachers throughout the day. Presenters uploaded their materials to the February 15 PD Schoology course for easy access by the 698 teachers enrolled in the course. If teachers weren’t able to attend a session, it is not a problem. They can find the information in Schoology anytime, anywhere. Schoology organizes and streamlines content which makes it a consistent way to share materials and resources efficiently and effectively.
Shortly after kicking off the inservice, Nicole Fox, Director of Curriculum and Classroom Assessment said, ”The day is off to a great start with our dedicated BPS educators! We have some phenomenal presenters, and the best part of learning is sharing what we know with our colleagues.”
Led by our District Instructional Technology Specialists, Building Technology Coordinators and iPad Academy teachers, the #bpsne hashtag was brimming with tweets about the learning that took place during the day. By utilizing Twitter, Bellevue Public Schools was able to share the incredible day with each other, along with educators and community members near and far. The tweets from the day were captured in this archive and available for anyone to access anytime.

The presentations by our Tech Team were amazing. I have heard nothing but positive comments. My favorite was 10 Tech Tools for the Classroom. Great job! Ann Feldmann!
ReplyDeleteI attended a HAL presentation by Megan Kinen and a Tech Tools presentation by Ann Feldmann. They were both great but it was also nice to see the resources in schoology and on twitter #bpsne to see what some of the other presentations were all about.
ReplyDeleteI loved having all the resources from every session through schoology and twitter.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed following the #bpsne hashtag throughout inservice. I felt more connected to what others were learning and I was able to learn more than what my 3 sessions offered. I am excited to watch the #bpsne hashtag grow!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed hearing about the other presentations I was "missing" while in another room via Twitter. Very beneficial to have all materials from all presentations in a centralized location.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great day of collaboration and learning at our fingertips!
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to have all the resources available to you even if you didn't attend the session.
ReplyDeleteI loved the G-mail Jedi session that Jeff offered. I made my first canned response and have already used it three times. This is saving me time. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI attended the session about what to do with one device in the classroom. Several of the ideas I was familiar with, but I did walk away with some new ideas!
ReplyDeleteNew Technologies broaden availability to PD.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite session was the Breakout EDU session. It was awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe BEAST English team presented an awesome idea for a writing workshop. I implemented it last week and I saw many student light bulbs go off! Way to go, BEAST!
ReplyDeleteCool to know this was all going on ... I didn't know! Now I do!
ReplyDeleteLoved this PD day. TONS of information presented and I was able to connect with so many great educators.
ReplyDeleteDr. Villa's presentation on co-teaching was extremely helpful!
ReplyDeleteThe technology sessions were helpful! I attended the BYOD and Schoology sessions.

ReplyDeleteStudents use paraphrasing tools, edit my essay tool and multiple other ways to check their writing content. Yet, there is a particular general guideline which they fail to flow due to which they end up losing marks. So today, we are going to state some significant Do's which should be included in every essay to get the best grades.
ReplyDeleteInclude transition
including transition sentences at the end and beginning of each paragraph helps to connect the two. Often due to lack of proper outline, the matter becomes very confusing without the correct presentation. Hence, all mini sections should be appropriately titled with statements that interconnect them with the previous matter. Transition sentences are helpful to enhance readability and keep it relevant. Even essay writers use plagiarism checker in their papers.
Use present tense
Most experts in academic writing services always use the present tense of writing. Writing in the current tense or active essay always shows higher engagement. Talking in the past tense while mentioning history is accepted, but try to keep it in present form for the rest of the essay. This feels like an interaction that keeps the readers hooked till the end.
Advanced terms
Using sophisticated terms help in showcasing knowledge. You can quickly lookup a thesaurus or online to find synonyms of similar words. Advanced terms can impress your teacher and show how professional you are with writing. Keep it readable by using simple sentences; however, make your knowledge by using high need terms here and there. When you expository essay help, you will observe that experts use specific vocabulary, making their writing different from the basic ones.
Answer what, when and how
Content should be informational, which excites readers.
Gear up your researching skills and provide information from credible sources. Gather exclusive data which makes your paper different from the rest. Provide insightful data in your article. An easy way to do it is by answering what, when and how in your paper. While proofreading, experts always lookout if their content is answering the essential questions that may arise.
good presentation
Apart from only taking care of the literature part, take care of the presentation too. Some generalized guidelines are followed for writing assignments. Like proper margin, readable font, not using too many bright colours and following instructions of teachers. A good presentation will always attract more eyeballs which aromatically class for more marks. Lookup for ideas or discuss innovative presentation ideas with known ones to get creative.
Students always want to get good grades without any Descriptive essay help. But often, it seems unachievable. Correct knowledge and a little information about the proper tactics can help students write the best essay.
