WillGourley Jun 28 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Why I love TED conferences. They're not solely filled with educators. Teachers need to get away from me another once in a while. #FLedChat

iteachsprouts Jun 28 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7: I start with my team, test on my own kids or my students, or teacher friends. #fledchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7 At school, I try to sort through my learning and choose what I share. Too much sharing can overwhelm others #FLedChat

MrsAromanda Jun 28 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@iteachsprouts we have enough kids to have almost a whole class to practice on. #FLedChat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A7 I like informal conversations with members of my PLC. That way things aren't rigid & I'm free to 'shotgun' all that I learned #FLedChat
