@korytellers I love that newer tech can help us to make these kinds of things happen. #mnlead

JonHeeren Oct 9 @ 8:08 PM EDT

#mnlead A1) Well I think you start by creating ways for students to have learning experiences outside of the classroom.

korytellers Oct 9 @ 8:08 PM EDT

Take the classroom with you. #mnlead

amythuesen Oct 9 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@khurdhorst Love this idea for a virtual field trip. #mnlead

Field trips are a must. One T takes an entire day to investigate on the lake with S for biology and earth science. AWESOME! #mnlead

amythuesen Oct 9 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@bretdom Agreed. Sometimes we focus on connecting outside the building but we can do good by connecting w our neighboring classrooms #mnlead

barnheels Oct 9 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: whatever else we do, we have to get them out of their seat & preferably out of the classroom. 6 hours of seat time is horrific #mnlead

@mahillmann @breakoutEDU I love this game so much. Just used it as a homecoming activity and it was a hit! #mnlead

jenhegna Oct 9 @ 8:13 PM EDT

khurdhorst Oct 9 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@amythuesen I tried..even to get Ps engaged on Flip Grid to show how they use math in their lives. Crickets. #mnlead Its frustrating as heck

millardamy2 Oct 9 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1) Encouraging collaboration both digitally and within the building to solve problems and answer questions. Explore. Create. #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A1.2 Have students share their work via the web. An authentic audience creates incredible experiences. #mnlead

vanipteach Oct 9 @ 8:15 PM EDT

khurdhorst Oct 9 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@amythuesen I want to see more open cafe lounges with lovely collaboration areas and plugins. #mnlead A2

amythuesen Oct 9 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@mahillmann Do you have a preferred method/tool for student sharing? I'm always looking for more ideas. #mnlead

CareybenM Oct 9 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2: These areas are louder. In the very best possible way. When discussion happens, learning happens. It's been a culture shift. #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 paces that are flexible, can be easily reconfigured for activities now, and inexpensively redesigned for future needs. #mnlead

@korytellers Are they just open spaces or are there provided tools/seating/etc in the halls? #mnlead

@steph_molitor Yes! It doesn't always have to b about the tech...sometimes my mantra as a tech coach. Sounds weird but needs saying #mnlead

KevinSayerska Oct 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

Agreed @amythuesen. Less rigid. But flexible so kids can have great dialog and get inspired through writing or a group project. #mnlead

@amythuesen Yes, I am learning to take deep breaths and make my mantra, "Learning IS going on here." Still hard, but it helps. :) #mnlead

A6) Plenty of table space. Spread all my stuff out! I love to be able to sit or stand. Collaborative - whiteboards, TVs, ect. #mnlead

#GrowthMindset allows students to take ownership and teaches individual accountability. #mnlead #ECET2 https://t.co/Dytm7TYnje

engineerteacher Oct 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@MarkJWestpfahl Indeed! It's called shifting the ownership of the learning from me to the Ss. I just facilitate their growth. #ECET2

A6 My empty house or a deer stand - nobody else around gives time for extended quiet reflection and mindfulness. #mnlead
