In reply to @tonyaskinner

ELAElfLord Nov 10 @ 9:44 PM EST

#semoEDchat A2 my favorite new strategy is PBL. The Ss didn't know how to react at the beginning and weren't sure they could handle it

teach_russell - Moderator Nov 10 @ 9:45 PM EST

A2 - Working to make PD that's avail to all, at all times & that offers more engagement. Looking for what's/who's being missed. #semoEDchat

tonyaskinner Nov 10 @ 9:45 PM EST

A2: Integrating "their" topics in conversation (Snapchat upside down head filter?) to grab attention and connecting in the hall. #semoedchat

leighmragsdale Nov 10 @ 9:45 PM EST

Q2: We need to focus on student's passions & interests. Focus on how it will relate to the real word. #semoEDchat

MindySouth - Moderator Nov 10 @ 9:46 PM EST

A2 - tools that lend to or help facilitate discussion and f2f interaction- Padlet, GHO, Google Classroom Question feature #semoEDchat

teach_russell - Moderator Nov 10 @ 9:52 PM EST

A3 - That external rewards inc engagement-like grades, candy-over the long term. That it's only up to Ss to engage themselves. #semoEDchat

Bethany_Petty Nov 10 @ 9:52 PM EST

A2: encouragement, showing passion & excitement for content & activity, talk w/ students, not at them, build relationships! #semoEDchat

A3-student compliance often mistaken for engagement #semoEDchat

wadebuckman Nov 10 @ 9:53 PM EST

Projects/work that address solutions to actual problems can be huge for student engagement #semoEDchat

mrsvivy6 Nov 10 @ 9:48 PM EST

In reply to @BradOwings

teach_russell - Moderator Nov 10 @ 9:53 PM EST

A3 - Compliant or only Ss w good grades are engaged. That maj lecture & workshts are as engaging as other "alt" activities. #semoEDchat

Bethany_Petty Nov 10 @ 9:53 PM EST

A3: that all Ss should be doing the same thing at the same time #semoEDchat

ELAElfLord Nov 10 @ 9:53 PM EST

#semoEDchat A3 That failure is the end. My Ss are afraid to proceed without a plan.

teach_russell - Moderator Nov 10 @ 9:54 PM EST

A3 - Not that any of those cannot be true, in the correct circumstances. #semoEDchat

ELAElfLord Nov 10 @ 9:55 PM EST

#semoEDchat A3: Students are too immature to handle their own learning. They aren't immature they just haven't been shown how.

wadebuckman Nov 10 @ 9:55 PM EST

A3: That quietly reading textbook = engagement #semoEDchat

bitterburnz Nov 10 @ 9:56 PM EST

A1- hands on learning. Get rid of the book. Make it personal by letting them make connections to content with their life xp. #semoEDchat

Bethany_Petty Nov 10 @ 9:56 PM EST
