#fearlessedchat a2 Games go hither & thither and you never quite know where you will end up. Plus we think that they aren't work! #aussieED

MrMac_Walker Jun 28 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Hmmm are games a safe space for them maybe? Low stakes even when the stakes are high? #FearlessEdChat

WillStewartIV Jun 28 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A2: Games capture best (compassion, cooperation, resourcefulness, determination) and worst of character. Reveals & builds #FearlessEdChat

MrsBrubaker Jun 28 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Distrust of parents to teachers. We need to have authentic, honest conversations but everyone is guarded & holds back. #FearlessEdChat

A2 Gaming provides frequent feedback with chances to do things over again until you get things right. #FearlessEdChat

MrMac_Walker Jun 28 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Perhaps in a game is the only place a kid feels like the protagonist of the story? #FearlessEdChat

rlmiller137 - Moderator Jun 28 @ 8:49 PM EDT

I love that you mentioned that we can see the worst in character - gives an opportunity to learn and grow #fearlessedchat

In reply to @WillStewartIV

MrsBrubaker Jun 28 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A2: competition & a chance to win, to be the best at something. #FearlessEdChat

vincentmlewis Jun 28 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A2: Competition is a natural instinct. It exposes our inner-self, and in that shared vulnerability, true learning can occur! #FearlessEdChat

MrHebertPE Jun 28 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A2: Pllay is engrained in all life. We want to explore, strategize, learn, compete & be challenged. Games do this! School? #FearlessEdChat

megan_hacholski Jun 28 @ 8:52 PM EDT

adamdmassey Jun 28 @ 8:52 PM EDT

I'm so out of my element when it comes to games. I play Mario Kart with my own kids, before that board games and PONG. #FearlessEdChat

A5: Retries, retries, retries! If game comp's cut u off when u ran out of "lives," then they wouldn't sell too many games. #FearlessEdChat

It's been a lot of fun, and the "bites" are much more digestable 👍🏼 #FearlessEdChat

A6 Time to plan and implement is a big barrier for me. I tend to like trying new things though. #fearlessedchat

megan_hacholski Jun 28 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A6: Fear of failure. Feel adequate - no motivation to do better than they are. Blame content or Ss for lackluster classroom. #fearlessedchat

My kids were interested the first time. 2nd time, not so much. They loved #HyperDocs more. #FearlessEdChat

A6 Comfort level and the same thing that holds many back from learning - overconfidence. #FearlessEdChat

tMet2126 Jun 28 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A6: Time restraints for change. Current strategies have worked for years. Content or students are the issue. #FearlessEdChat

A6: Oddly, same things that hold ppl back from 🎲games⚽️. Time, energy, fear of failing; pressure from outside and above. #FearlessEdChat

sciteachernh Jun 28 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A6 what holds us back is fear of something not working, resources to implement, and time to plan something new #Fearlessedchat

MrsBrubaker Jun 28 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A6: TIME! It takes time to invest in learning new things. Like @gcouros said, Ts can be lazy too. #FearlessEdChat

supervxn Jun 28 @ 9:22 PM EDT

In reply to @MrMac_Walker

What about accept failure is part of the process not just excepting failure. might be an important thing for Ssto hear #FearlessEdChat

That is the key, Ts must know that administrators are okay with failing, as long as it is failing forward! #takearisk #fearlessedchat

A6: It's more comfortable for some to do what they know. It's really hard for some to push out of comfort zone.#fearlessedchat
