A2: Ss have ownership and learn more when they create. As consumers retain little & are not held accountable for their work #FlocabChat

_Kristen_Z May 9 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 By having our Ss there is a deeper understanding and a higher "buy" in. #FlocabChat

CspellaneLfcisd May 9 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 Kids need opportunities to own their learning. That's a gift that we as Ts need to work harder to give them. #flocabchat
