@heffrey So true Jeff! With the right focus, energy, and tools there is an absolute impact with each small group session #divergED

polonerd Jan 26 @ 8:13 PM EST

When we differentiate learning correctly, & utilize tech to help flip/blend lessons we are freed up to facilitate the learning. #divergED

MsWhiteBCPS Jan 26 @ 8:14 PM EST

@nalang1 I utilize time w/ small groups & meeting w/ Ss 1:1. I also take advantage of any volunteers willing to work with Ss. #divergED

EdTechPeck Jan 26 @ 8:14 PM EST

I'd start with a front end loader and a saws all...lot of concrete walls that would need to go #divergED

MattJohnson10 Jan 26 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2: Allow Ss to take ownership of what goes on in the classroom. Ask what works/what doesn't. #divergED

EdTechPeck Jan 26 @ 8:15 PM EST

@AllysonApsey any ideas? We are tackling that now in my school #divergED

annemackinnon Jan 26 @ 8:15 PM EST

#divergED Heard a compelling idea from @SchleicherOECD recently. Larger class size can mean more time for student engagement, collaboration.

lesliefarooq Jan 26 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: I am enjoying our mod block schedule with 1:50 min double blocks and access periods. It's less about the day, spaces key now. #DivergED

polonerd Jan 26 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: When Ts utilize discussion boards in @Schoology it not only gives every S a voice, it also lets Ts know b4 class where Ss are #divergED

WeberEducation - Moderator Jan 26 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: Shorter blocks of sit-n-get, more blocks for choice & personalized supports #divergED

drneilgupta Jan 26 @ 8:16 PM EST

@bsepe7 We could start with allowing teachers to shift their schedule - it could work for adults and students! #divergED

bsepe7 Jan 26 @ 8:16 PM EST

@dr_helgeson Planning and time are the crucial elements! #divergED

ElisaBostwick Jan 26 @ 8:16 PM EST

@nalang1 redesigning the school day won't help our Ss, Ss need skills to succeed- problem solving, collaboration, creativity #divergED

@dbuckedu Great David. Agreed, it’s about the academic value we create face to face and how it transfers to other environments. #divergED

AmyHeavin Jan 26 @ 8:21 PM EST

@MarleneCastro90 @XQAmerica @WeberEducation feedback loops, the reason why kids love video games #divergED

drmcclard Jan 26 @ 8:23 PM EST

A3- less q/a. More time spent on higher leveled questions. Model, give feedback, facilitate, reinforce, & keep digging deeper. #divergED

MattJohnson10 Jan 26 @ 8:23 PM EST

A3: Skills must be modeled then explored but at the same time not expected to be a "cookie cutter" model for Ss #divergED

A4 I will consider blocks of time as learning opportunities; evaluate how that time was used versus the opportunity that existed #divergED

TeachDB17 Jan 26 @ 8:27 PM EST

A4. Listen more intently/ purposefully before deeming something off task/not on topic of the content. #diverged There may be a connection.
