— Rick Cobb (@grendelrick) January 22, 2018

A3: I will always have tremendous respect for Rep.@KatieHenke for her courageous stand in support of kids during the RSA battles. She is a true advocate for #oklaed pic.twitter.com/k0TrBNELZb

— Rick Cobb (@grendelrick) January 22, 2018

A4) these guys, @mitchelltalks @benfelder_okc @thricesavage, do an excellent job of reporting accurate and meaningful info about #oklaed pic.twitter.com/S6S5LLP6kk

— Angela Clark Little (@angmlittle) January 22, 2018

Lately, I don't think anyone covers Oklahoma government in general better than @nondocmedia #oklaed

Big nod to @AndreaEger @benfelder_okc and @OklahomaWatch as well https://t.co/1SsFcrwV0d

Q5 Tell your story #oklaed pic.twitter.com/yqPsP9ADBq

— Rick Cobb (@grendelrick) January 22, 2018

A5: Many great stories to share, but one that inspired me in particular was when several freshmen boys in Sand Springs pooled their money to buy a classmate a new pair of Air Jordans earlier this year. We recognized them at a Board meeting. #oklaed

— Rob Miller (@edgeblogger) January 22, 2018

Q5: Elementary Botball in Mid-Del is one of the most amazing things that I witness each year! @ChrisParadise had kids this year who came to the challenges without the coach at their side. #oklaed #ProblemSolvers

Q5b Tell it loudly! #oklaed pic.twitter.com/Fo4UWmEjJE

— Rick Cobb (@grendelrick) January 22, 2018

#OklaEd A5b: I obviously have none to share. How about a daily #OklaEdStudentStory – maybe managed by someone in your office, from stories sent to you, @joy4ok ??? https://t.co/M8jD0KRc4J

— John Bennett (@jcbjr) January 22, 2018

A5b: No. Miracles like that happen everyday in classrooms across the country. You just have to go look for it. #oklaed https://t.co/7I9dmRzpGG

Q6 What is the best PD you'd recommend to others? #oklaed pic.twitter.com/aGFFVd0zWH

— Rick Cobb (@grendelrick) January 22, 2018

#OklaEd A6: For me, in Virginia, it’s every #OklaEd Twitter chat for sure. From all reports, a co-best would be the Oklahoma Edcamps for those that can attend! https://t.co/th3P62sygB

— John Bennett (@jcbjr) January 22, 2018

A6) as a parent and an advocate, I would love to see some sort of advocacy PD available for educators. It might help us have a stronger voice if more felt empowered to speak out in an effective way. #oklaed https://t.co/PnWgAtLA8L

Q7 You knew there would be a technology category, right? There's a lot out there. What do you actually see people using…effectively? #oklaed pic.twitter.com/SXLRovQtiI

— Rick Cobb (@grendelrick) January 22, 2018

A7: #cpsreds MakerSpace is prime example of giving students access to technology then letting them become producers and not just consumers of their education. #oklaed

— Adam Beauchamp (@beauchamp_adam) January 22, 2018

A7) I'm going to have to give it up for @flipgrild this year. Every lesson plan idea I have ends with, "And then we can flipgrid it!" #oklaed

Q8 What #oklaed newcomer is going to be a rock star? pic.twitter.com/qXR89ZLhcA

— Rick Cobb (@grendelrick) January 22, 2018

A8) Get ready because the entire @oueducation fall class of 2018 is full of AMAZING future teachers. Coming to schools near you December 2018. #oklaed https://t.co/J6Bv13Ukv7

— Madeline Shields (@made_shields) January 22, 2018

A8: #oklaed I can't name just one, but these DC StuCo kids inspire me with their talent and their heart for people. They are rock stars in my book. How many of them can we grab to lead our classrooms as teachers in Mid-Del, @grendelrick ?!?! @kriscoop80 https://t.co/pELtm23KyI

Q9 Who in #oklaed has been around forever and still makes a huge difference? pic.twitter.com/kG7DBRbJqR

— Rick Cobb (@grendelrick) January 22, 2018

A9 – For me personally – my dad, Dr. Bob Gragg. He was in administration for 30 years, retired and is still serving as interim superintendent various places. I continue to learn so much from him. #oklaed #MDPurpose https://t.co/k6rpFlKjDg

— Todd Gragg (@MrGragg) January 22, 2018

A9: Again, there are so many veteran/career Ts that are killing it every single day, I can’t single them out because I would leave someone out #oklaed and #cpsreds are stacked with greatness

Q10 Make your own #oklaed award category and name nominate someone. pic.twitter.com/I1mXL2ZtH0

— Rick Cobb (@grendelrick) January 22, 2018

A10: The most active and influential parent in #oklaed for the past five years has to be @angmlittle. #DillyDilly

— Rob Miller (@edgeblogger) January 22, 2018

A10: Most likely to make sailors blush award to @JennWillTeach for fearlessly sharing ideas for a crucial revamp of ELA curriculum. #oklaed

— What's in a name? (@mrjoshflores) January 22, 2018

 

You get a donut. And you get a donut. And you get a donut. And you, over there, you’re on the keto diet, so I’ll eat your donut! #oklaed pic.twitter.com/EIxfi4X66G
