    #WeirdEd Q1 I say in the blog that I subscribe to the "Accidents Create Real Learning" partly because it helps justify my own occasional lack of organization. Do you have any educational philosophies you might have first adopted to cover your ego?

  • TerraTarango Oct 24 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A1:students are better equipped to make connections from content to their interest than teacher. Adopted this when I couldn’t find a way to make content match their interests, so I just asked them to make the connection, and what do you know? They’re pretty good at it! #weirded

  • Sneffleupagus Oct 24 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A1: Not answering students ?s. It's a legit part of what I do now, but it started as me not knowing and not wanting to give an answer that the Ss googled later and then I look bad for lying. #WeirdEd

    I think I'll do a lil #WeirdEd tonight. Caitlin, OH, technology resource teacher for early elementary, and I spent multiple Halloweens as the back end of a cow. My twin sister was the front. My mom worked really hard on that costume.
  • shadow_uzumaki Oct 24 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    #WeirdEd A1 I let my geekiness and nerdiness guide me? "It was the Will of the Force"? Oh, and one of my recurring advice from my mentor "Fake it till you feel it." Also, "kids are smarter than they look, they can do it."
  • slwindisch Oct 24 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    A1 MOAR: but it's still absolutely true: How you practice something is how you'll do it. That's why I'm so strict about how I want performances to be - exactly. #WeirdEd
  • TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Oct 24 @ 10:12 PM EDT
    #WeirdEd THIS IS ALSO ME. I can't keep my class pretty. So I just go all in on convincing myself it's not important

    #WeirdEd A1 I tend to say that I can't fully plan for every misconception because my kids are inconsistent from day to day. I could plan with more detail, I just love solving problems in the moment and hate planning in advance. My ADHD prefers to be put on the spot.

    Hello #WeirdEd. I’m a K-5 librarian in Maine. In 1982 I had an inflatable headpiece costume called Kooky Spooks. They were all the rage. (Sample pic lifted from the web. Not me.)

  • phillyfenix Oct 24 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    A1 I try to have more "a cidents create real learning" moments, but am kind of a control freak. I put time and effort into creating lessons and sometimes death grip the direction they go in to get to my point instead of letting the kids lead it wherever it goes. #WeirdEd

    I have warned my kids that if they wear their hats outside of my classroom they run the risk of having the principal tell me that I need to enforce it. It makes it nice when they think its our little secret, when really he’s in my room enough to know they have hats on. #WeirdEd

    A4: If he were such a good teacher, why hasn't he ever done a TED Talk? #weirded
  • TerraTarango Oct 24 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    A4: well he did get student to write “love you” on her eyelids....that’s gotta count for something. #weirded

    A4: From what we see of him in the movies...I don't think so. Yes, he is seemingly adored by his students--but is that because of his teaching style/classroom presence/experience he gives students in his class...or because he just has really awesome stories to tell? #WeirdEd

  • shadow_uzumaki Oct 24 @ 10:48 PM EDT
    #WeirdEd A4 Mentor? Yes. Actual teaching? Possibly.... But, his adventures smash all the archaeological sites.... Also, any field trips w/him will at least require passing competency in hand-to-hand, shooting, and extreme luck to get home.... XD

    A4: I think “Why’d it have to be snakes?” Is a good metaphor for teaching. Sometimes we have to face the worse case scenario and make the best of it. So yeah, growth mindset at its finest. #WeirdEd

    A4 There's no way with all his adventuring that he takes the time to read all the essays students submit. I remember a professor telling us he was generous with grades when his son had just been born. I'm going with easy grader = why his classes are packed. #WeirdEd
  • technolandy Oct 24 @ 10:51 PM EDT
    May be the best gif of the night! #weirded (and that’s saying something!)
  • TerraTarango Oct 24 @ 10:51 PM EDT
    A4: is have to say he’s a great archeologist, but not a great teacher. The difference between the teacher and the field professional is that the teacher cares more about the kid than the topic. #weirded

  • shadow_uzumaki Oct 24 @ 10:54 PM EDT
    #WeirdEd Yep, I laughed so hard, but also thought, "Wow, he actually learned to teach in between the last movie." Also, with how the student reacted so calmly, seems like an every day thing to see Professor Jones be attacked. LOL
