Join us as we discuss Empathy during our next #AMDSBkidschat on Thursday, October 26th from 12PM-1PM. #AMDSBKidsChat is a place for students to connect with their peers, creatively share ideas, improve literacy skills by communicating and collaborating with others, and develop citizenship and character. Everything you need to get started can be found here! Watch the video(s), answer the questions ahead of time, and join us to share your ideas and learn with other K-8 students throughout #AMDSBLearns!
You notice a child sitting alone on the playground. This child always seems to be left out. How do you think s/he would feel? What are some ways that you could show empathy?
The class laughed when a boy in your class got the wrong answer. How do you think he feels? What are some ways that you could show empathy?
Your friend shared that her pet died this weekend. How do you think she feels? What are some ways that you could show empathy?
A new student has joined your classroom. They are new to the school and community. How do you think s/he feels? What are some ways that you could show empathy?
First of all, I would like to thank all of the classes who joined us yesterday! We had an engaging and thought-provoking first chat of the year. We hope to see everyone out next month as we discuss #Empathy. Remember, tag a friend!
On a different note, I received a few emails/ DMs from classes who got locked out of Twitter during our chat with the following error message: Rate Limit Exceeded
After doing some research I have learned that in order to control the use of the Twitter API (the service which provides twitter data for 3rd party Twitter applications such as TweetDeck) Twitter sets a limit on how many times it can be used in an hour. It is important to note that this limit only applies to 3rd party Twitter applications (like TweetDeck). The twitter.com website does not use it’s own API and therefore has no limits.
So what does this mean for you? It means that in order to be able to have all of your students tweeting from the same Twitter account they need to be using the web-based version of Twitter or the app.
Here are some tips to help you avoid receiving that error message:
try not to over use the refresh button
partner students together to reduce the number of devices with Twitter apps open at one time (both students can still tweet)
I hope this helps. If you have any further questions please leave a comment below.
