Especially magical when I saw it as a kid. Like a dream come true! https://t.co/Z7LZF0Eayc
A1: have to say one of my favorite scenes is when they first enter the factory and everything is edible!
Should make the hashtag in honor of Gene Wilder
The schnazzberies taste like schnazzberries
a favorite moment (among many) in Blazing Saddles was Mongo's KO of the horse!
"A grown up would want to do everything his own way, not mine [...] I had to find a child"
I love all the hidden lessons that can be found in the movie as well!
Tuning in late and from a tablet... Might be a little slow on the banter tonight. I'll make sure to heart and RT like mad, though
Q2) Wonka creates many magical moments of wonder & imagination. Share a magical learning experience from your own life
Those are the best parts! If a tweet falls online and there's no one there to heart it...?
we'll take our Bryan any way we can get em!
that's still so messed up . . .
A2 When new on Twitter, being able to see into many Ts classrooms - not just those next door - was magical. Pushed me!
A2 The first time I got up and pedaling on a two-wheeler bike with no help. Horizons blasting WIDE open.
Wow!! Perfect quote! We could have written that and had it be the whole topic of chat! https://t.co/FuBrou9mjY
"A grown up would want to do everything his own way, not mine [...] I had to find a child"
I've got a group of under 25 yr old t's & none knew who Gene Wilder was. In related news they also haven't seen Ferris Bueller..
A2: going off grid for 30days with
love that quote as well and so true on many levels
A2) when I stopped "learning" for others (parents, peer pressure, etc) & started learning for me.
corny but when I learned to team teach & really embraced it after initial resistance and pouting - truly magic!
Though now that I read it out if context, it seems to be saying that a kid would follow orders... Not though
feel a certain magic from behind the scenes/process of anything; seeing how TV & radio happens as a kid? https://t.co/A7e1ejwEYB
Q2) Wonka creates many magical moments of wonder & imagination. Share a magical learning experience from your own life
means wants a kid to do it, right? am I remembering that all wrong? did i reinvent history?
That worked for me too. aka embrace your inner nerd!
I'm still blown away when I watch a plane take off :)
the world just grew a little sadder . . .
Q2b). What made it magical? Details: who, what, where, etc? Imagine back with all of your senses.
A2 today student presented using made the connections around wonder,play,curiosity & HS life. I was happy
needs a kid to reveal secrets to - trusts that a kid will a) keep secrets, b) not get priorities messed up
I want to know more!! Sweet!
Spent time with my little guy in his kindergarten classroom last night-was the definition of magical-
! We tweet to get inspired, to , not to be RT'd https://t.co/kG3WMWWZ1H
A2 When new on Twitter, being able to see into many Ts classrooms - not just those next door - was magical. Pushed me!
Then how could they possibly understand the final end bonus scene in Deadpool?
A2b) Early evening, late summer. Impatient for dad to catch up. Saw myself staying aright, as if in a drawing - and kept going.
❤️ Young Frankenstein. Working w/ nurturing and creating . Industry + with !

A2) our T’s many “Monday + Tuesday” debates, helped us improve empathy, learn to understand/respect different POVs.
A2b2) I JUST NOW REMEMBERED THE DRAWING PART. Me, visualizing it happening, as it was.... Wow. Great question
Similarly had convo w my kindergartener on eve of his 1st day "gonna be best day ever" https://t.co/aFqKr6cP19

A2 Magical 2 wks on research ship w/NOAA in Pacific. Changed my entire pesrp. as a T. Off grid, all science 24/7, hard work
last night 7-yr-old told me his superpower was "reading and writing and [he] wants to be so smart!" pretty damn magical
my guy keeps saying Kindergarten is incredibelmo awesome!
Ooo, intriguing. Can you say more about those?

I am sooo going 2 have to go back and read this whole thread! So much deliciousness!
all senses firing! i remember, too. freedom. success.
"dad, kindergarten is amazing, but a kid threw up"
was just thinking that! can't keep up & loving it
A2: A magical learning experience for me has been the last year creating a community to encourage Ts at https://t.co/PbCktUcdSV
Q3): Now share a time you felt this sense of wonder during a learning experience AT SCHOOL. Again, think of w/all senses.
yes with the senses! you can FEEL magic
A3: I remember a nature walk in pre-school. Held a spit bug in my hand. In awe!
Yep actually NJ right outside NYC Yes check it out and feel free to join the private FB group if you like!
I wonder if other people tap into those moments from smells, songs, "deja vu", tastes, even sunsets
I feel like I’m juggling. & I went lo-tech. lots of cutting and pasting.
A3) Ss in could NOT stop telling visitors how much they had learned and LOVED over the years
Have to bounce, friends. [bowing in gratitude] Thanks for being in my story.
Today I talked to a student....she has 2 awesome siblings (twins)....they were all born 11 months a part. Wonder.
A3 I remember as a little kid tasting (I think) birchbark and learning about medicine from plants.
Remember to follow any new folks you meet tonight!
In Latin class when I could finally read something authentic and really old instead of textbook.
Creating a yearbook in 4th grade, interviewing peers, drawing, writing, designing https://t.co/TtyOmENBZz
Q3): Now share a time you felt this sense of wonder during a learning experience AT SCHOOL. Again, think of w/all senses.
funny b/c the moments I remember most I FELT but I don't know what I learned - bet it was something tho!
Love that we met today on twitter over Willy Wonka.
Bam! who was your guide at that moment?
Great to “see” you. Have a wonderful week!
I agree! its crazy but great to meet you!
A3: Most memorable experiences from school were when I was making something. Thinking and problem solving.
Q4) What are ways we can & do cr8 this sense of wonder in our own learning envinronm?
Late to the party but will try to jump in!
Late to the party but will try to jump in!
A3) going to see "Big River" on Broadway. Front row. Felt the orchestra; how things moved on stage; the sweat of the actors.
Q4)What are ways we can&do cre8 a sense of wonder in R learning enviros?
Woohooo! Alyssa! Atleast I made it up for the chat. ;) https://t.co/VsLnqqIZl2
Late to the party but will try to jump in!
A4) More fun, more play, more joy!
Checking in on for these first time this year. Finally home early enough to be part of it...
A3) oops... Last tweet was supposed to be "in school."
Sadly, I can't think of a time of wonder in my whole school experience as a student. I CAN in the school we are creating
It’s all good. We’ll take any answers anytime. ;)
hello my friend! Great having you here!
Always welcome! glad you are here
A4: I think if we allow Ss to explore their passions through learning whenever possible it will bring forth wonder in class
Yay! Welcome! Willy Wonka theme tonight!
good to finally get a chance to stop by!
A4 asking Ss to consider how they will incorporate wonder play & curiosity n 2 million minutes of HS https://t.co/0NunFbTfGz
A4) a student-centered, empathy-fueled, action and production focused and standards-based approach to everything/everywhere.
What does that look like? where can Ts bend to include more fun, play, joy ?
I wondered if that would come up. I had to go back to pre-school. https://t.co/3gxNFz70tV
Sadly, I can't think of a time of wonder in my whole school experience as a student. I CAN in the school we are creating
true... in my memories, wondering = trouble, "pay attention". lucky to be a part of creating something different
A4: playful, vulnerable, silly, safe
e.g., create role-play (if not real) situations for students to experience, instead of lecturing about them
it has been a cool couple of days. 1 Ss spoke of remembering to get into nature and not allow SM to control her
i wonder if there is a moment when you realized (as a student) that you could do better
I paid for a t's guitar lessons & glass blowing class today. The catch-share new learning with the s's
A4) why not start the year with a provocation instead of a syllabus? Spend the first week in a long-form storm?
https://t.co/BvhJq7cEa2
true... in my memories, wondering = trouble, "pay attention". lucky to be a part of creating something different
long-form QUESTION storm, that is
love this! haven't made it happen yet but keep saying the Ss will teach the Ts hobbies/skills regularly
You can incorporate activities like Breakout EDU to bring in competition and tie it to the learning
Q5a) As we prepared 4 chat, generously sharedhis tribute 2Gene Wilder Lessons from WillyWonka https://t.co/Uy4trmE1N2
yes it was “intriguing” how he persuaded us Mon about X, then Tue for not-X. Helped us improve empathy, respecting.
I guess I did because-always planned to be an Ed prof & teach t's-but then I fell in love with inner city chaos
A4 That was called grad school for me!
do you play an instrument too? would be pretty cool to sit in for a pickin' and grinnin' sesh.
Developing a true sense of wonder in school requires mutual respect & shared responsibility 4 learning (sounds simple enough eh?)
yes! we do this! 1st week = marshmallow challenge, two buckets, mental stretches, most creative selfies, etc.
Didn't get what Van was talking about--but that voice & the spare guitar solo, the great background singing. Horns!
I don't. My learning to share with kids will be building something with wood.
I wish! used to play the violin - back when we had VCRs
I in diversity, when I see Amish, Refugee, Inner City, Suburban and Farm...in the same school district.
And a willingness to be vulnerable. Wonder implies both an interest and an 'I don't know' Also, hi :)
I think vulnerability is so key. Let kids know we are human and make mistakes. https://t.co/kZ75KkzR0d
And a willingness to be vulnerable. Wonder implies both an interest and an 'I don't know' Also, hi :)
My ten year old started viola lessons this week. But I'm a music moron.
A4) used to start course on Iran history by showing "Neda," then just asking "what does this make you want to learn about?"
A4: Make, make, make. then Share share share
And there is stuff we get super geeked about learning!
Yes! Fascinated by how hard it is for some adults to take "i don't know" stance (Hi! how are you?)
A3: I think the first step in supporting our Ss in embracing their imag. would be to allow them to think outside the box
what are some of the things you wonder?
If only it were that easy!
A0 Ken G. from in Beantown. "Blazing Producers" has to be my favorite Wilder flick.
A5) Say "yes, let's!" more often! To your students, your kids, your partner, friends, etc.
Yay! Start with S curiosity. Love it! https://t.co/FKFC2OBuMZ
A4) used to start course on Iran history by showing "Neda," then just asking "what does this make you want to learn about?"
A3: I think by allowing Ss to see our imagination in action gives them the "ok" to be creative without fear
I wonder if we defined the box to start with. Ts should follow Ss
It amazed me that kids from different backgrounds can get along better than most adults.
A5b) Creating a physical play of wonder. Ss bring in things, thoughts, ideas they are curious about.
supposed to say physical space. ;) https://t.co/xYqDmvaTW1

Fellow DT’ers that is about all the awake I can do for today. TY for the great sharing!
creating a structure for shared responsibility is a full-time job. So much easier to just run everything https://t.co/WyYYsxyKAN
Developing a true sense of wonder in school requires mutual respect & shared responsibility 4 learning (sounds simple enough eh?)
Embrace imaginative spelling, Ellen!
Life lesson. ;) https://t.co/EErbvPQOFu
A5) Say "yes, let's!" more often! To your students, your kids, your partner, friends, etc.
more A5) encourage, do not fear, the asking of "why" and "so what" - these are the most honest questions!
Time is going so fast… 2 more Qs. Gotta b quick. ;)
Q5c) If u think so, how do you think Design Thinking can help support this?
can u explain a bit more.
I hope your year is off to an awesome start!
I think at the individual teacher that may be true, but not at the systems level
A4) 's Principles of Improv for school/beyond: Trust, Accept (yes and), Communicate (listen) https://t.co/afHPXwflDj
A5c: DT- vulnerability, curiosity, playful, transparency,
I know I’m cutting that last one short, but one last Q to close the nite…
This chat has been awesome tonight!
A5c: Empathy and wonder how your life connects to the one you are empathizing with
I've not read that - sounds like one to add to my list :-)
Q6):Where will ur “Great Glass Elevator” take u & ur Ss? - call out some imaginations, curiosities & wonders.
I guess I was thinking sadly the whole org is based on hierarchy of those in power have answers.
I wonder if my Ss will come back someday to teach in our program like they are starting to say they will!
yes, loads od posters &talk that failure is encouraged. But, when Ss struggle or fail, negative consequences.
I have a private FB group for Ts to be encouraged/collaborate. I would love to invite anyone in to join https://t.co/a8k39Z6onY
