themixitupgirls Jan 17 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: Deep learning creates connections personal, world, and to other learninh experiences #ctedu

yes should stick; relate to other concepts #ctedu

In reply to @brianrozinsky

brianrozinsky Jan 17 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2.2 Deep learning sounds like it should be fueled by curiosity & intrinsic motivation. Questions begetting more questions. #ctedu

MrsSmith167 Jan 17 @ 8:15 PM EST

That sounds right! BUt I feel like kids don't do that often enough #ctedu

In reply to @annmariejakub

Mr_Hutchinson_ - Moderator Jan 17 @ 8:16 PM EST

A3: I started to incorporate writing prompts during math to encourage students to think about the concepts. #ctedu. Compare and contrast qts

Yes! #ctedu

MrsSmith167 Jan 17 @ 8:16 PM EST

Yes!! #ctedu

In reply to @KeriSnowden

MrsSmith167 Jan 17 @ 8:17 PM EST

#ctedu Questions 3!

robinsonchris7 Jan 17 @ 8:13 PM EST

Q3: What strategies do your students engage in to deeply think about a concept ?

TheConnectedEdu Jan 17 @ 8:17 PM EST

A3 Close reading - Book club discussions - #ctedu

brianrozinsky Jan 17 @ 8:18 PM EST

Though I'vs seen Ss unaccustomed to choice/voice wade in the shallows until invited & supported to risk the deeper end #ctedu

In reply to @atragg

mrsapia_teach - Moderator Jan 17 @ 8:18 PM EST

Utilizing a #pbl model tied into the curriculum can absolutely help students think on a deep level. #ctedu #hackpbl

MrsSmith167 Jan 17 @ 8:18 PM EST

Q3: Conversations - asking questions - using what we know to try to answer it & continue to have a conversation about the topic #ctedu

annmariejakub Jan 17 @ 8:19 PM EST

Q3: Discussions, googling and research #ctedu

atragg - Moderator Jan 17 @ 8:20 PM EST

A3: Conversations and Qs during share time, can be with 1 other Ss, their art table or whole group #CTedu

MrsSmith167 Jan 17 @ 8:20 PM EST

I think @breakoutEDU would also help students to think on a deep level & a totally DIFFERENT level! #ctedu

In reply to @breakoutEDU

themixitupgirls Jan 17 @ 8:20 PM EST

A3: Asking questions. Investigating deeper to find the answers themselves. Student choice of directions to go in #ctedu

atragg - Moderator Jan 17 @ 8:20 PM EST

True, many Ss need support at first #CTedu

In reply to @brianrozinsky

robinsonchris7 Jan 17 @ 8:21 PM EST

Q4: What technology can you use to aid in deep thinking? #ctedu

Mr_Hutchinson_ - Moderator Jan 17 @ 8:21 PM EST

I am applying closing reading skills to math problems. I am finding Ss don’t transfer the skill beyond reading. #ctedu

In reply to @TheConnectedEdu

brianrozinsky Jan 17 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3 Combinations of writing to think, debating, unpacking text sets to look at ideas from different angles #ctedu

robinsonchris7 Jan 17 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3: Concept maps & visual representation #ctedu

TheConnectedEdu Jan 17 @ 8:21 PM EST

themixitupgirls Jan 17 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4: Virtual fieldtrips #ctedu

annmariejakub Jan 17 @ 8:29 PM EST

Q4: Assessing your Ss and knowing when tech will add to or take away from deep learning. #ctedu

brianrozinsky Jan 17 @ 8:30 PM EST
