Mrreiff Oct 4 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: Giving our Ss choice, voice, & autonomy preps them for the world outside of our classrooms. #adechat

JennyGrabiec Oct 4 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: Encourages independence and a shift towards self directed learning. #ADEChat

MiaLMorrison Oct 4 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1 Ss need to make their own decisions and guide their own learning path #ADEchat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: Autonomy honours the students' goals, desires, and preferred ways of learning. They can identify themselves as a learner #adechat

A1: Autonomy taps into a variety of skills needed for success in a world flooded with tools and avenues to an end goal. #adechat

RossCoops31 Oct 4 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: Because autonomy, mastery, and purpose are our 3 key motivators. #adechat

Mrreiff Oct 4 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@JennyGrabiec So true. Autonomy helps Ss take ownership of their learning. #ADEchat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@Mrreiff Absolutely. Their voices should play a big role in shaping the classroom space/routines/learning #adechat

cicohen Oct 4 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: Autonomy helps Ss feel like they have a voice & ownership, which helps them take pride in their work & put more effort into it. #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@kt_rexler This is an important point. Autonomy in classroom can mirror the abundance of choice in real world tasks. #adechat

Mrreiff Oct 4 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@MsVictoriaOlson @kt_rexler Yes. Our learning environments offer autonomy with a safety net. #ADEchat

cicohen Oct 4 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A2: Autonomy in what they learn: Literature circles! #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@cicohen Do your students get to choose what they read? What topics they discuss? How do you structure their choice? #adechat

JennyGrabiec Oct 4 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: Teaching student advocacy along with the use of accessibility tools. #ADEChat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:12 PM EDT

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: In my elem classroom, I run Daily 5 and Guided Math, giving students choice from task menus, analog & digital, to show lrning #adechat

marcdrumm Oct 4 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1 Giving students the ability to choose their own paths can help keep their interest and make the topic more relevant to them #adechat

kt_rexler Oct 4 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Personalized options for creations at confidence level and relationship building to support their overall growth. #adechat

cicohen Oct 4 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2 Autonomy in how Ss show understanding:asking Ss to use more than 1 form of media & app-smash-leads to higher level understanding #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@RossCoops31 What is WW? #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Later, students can also choose how they share their learning -through blogs and classroom social media #adechat

cicohen Oct 4 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@MsVictoriaOlson From a list of themed suggested readings (dependent upon the grade). Ss chose roles & how to create projects #adechat

nancykawaja Oct 4 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: critical for Ss to learn which tool to use to support strengths & needs. #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@cicohen This also expands their thinking to consider how apps may operate together, workflow, and working with professional tools. #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@cicohen Nice! It's great to keep it thematic, too - creates bond b/w each of the different circles even if not reading sam lit #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@nancykawaja Yes! It's so rewarding when you see students choosing appropriate tools for learning! #adechat

cicohen Oct 4 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@MsVictoriaOlson Exactly… Having to think through the project & make design decisions helps teach Ss more than just the content. :) #adechat

SolHenare Oct 4 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@Mrreiff Like this, some great choices there and leaving it open at the end where they pitch is pretty cool... #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@jdeinhammer @marcdrumm I agree - students more invested then. Seems to be a level of comfort in getting to choose. #adechat

JennyGrabiec Oct 4 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: We rolled out Seesaw this year. I feel that this and similar tools provide our less vocal stdts w/ a tool to share and comment #ADEChat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@JennyGrabiec Not to mention there are text, drawing, and recording tools to allow choice in how they communicate! #adechat

@SolHenare Thanks. For the next step I sit down with the student and we design a rubric together. #adechat

nancykawaja Oct 4 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: for some Ss feeling free & safe to use their voice is directly related to autonomy in the learning environment #AAC #adechat

PerkyScience Oct 4 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@Mrreiff @SolHenare Students designing the rubric is a powerful version of autonomy! Added bonus...Ss are more likely to get it. #adechat

kt_rexler Oct 4 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4: If a clear vision for the learning goal isn’t given, some Ss struggle to organize and progress. Visual learning plans can help #adechat

jdeinhammer Oct 4 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@Mrreiff @SolHenare love the "no tellagami logo" I always put "no canva logos" on mine :D #adechat

jdeinhammer Oct 4 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@cicohen are you able to monitor the conversations on slack? wonder if its an option for younger kids #adechat

marcdrumm Oct 4 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@cicohen @MsVictoriaOlson The app integrations really make Slack shine - whoever figured that out is a genius. #adechat

PerkyScience Oct 4 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@kt_rexler I am intrigued. Do you have an example? I have some visual learners that I know would benefit. #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4: Self-regulation & organization is necessary in a highly autonomous environment. Can be tough for Ss who struggle in these areas #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@jdeinhammer @cicohen Yes, you'd join the convos and see each thread - and be notified when new messages too #adechat

nancykawaja Oct 4 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4: @MsVictoriaOlson inwas going to say the challenge of self-regulation is also the gift of exploring self-regulation #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@nancykawaja Yes, I should add that it's challenging at the *beginning*. That is a learning experience in and of itself! #adechat

kt_rexler Oct 4 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@PerkyScience I have tried tiered app options for writing. For instance, plan apps (tier 1) -> write apps (tier 2) -> share apps #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@nancykawaja Tons of social growth happens as a result of an autonomous classroom-just need to take advantage of teachable moments! #adechat

nancykawaja Oct 4 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@MsVictoriaOlson can be challenging for sure! Can affect executive function too.... for Ss who struggle w/ planning & organizing #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@jdeinhammer @cicohen I've used it lots in grad school. It's a wicked way to build multifaceted projects with lots of moving parts. #adechat

kt_rexler Oct 4 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@PerkyScience I am currently working on some for our staff members for their own personalized plans. Google tools for example. #adechat

marcdrumm Oct 4 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4 In higher ed it's more of an issue for undergrads than grads - some aren't used to having that much freedom and can get lost #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@nancykawaja What usually happens is I get freed to further support/provide structure for Ss who need it b/c others can self-reg #adechat

cicohen Oct 4 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@MsVictoriaOlson @jdeinhammer Same and agree! Thanks @Nicole_Kraft for introducing me to the app! #adechat

Mrreiff Oct 4 @ 9:42 PM EDT

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@Mrreiff This is something I struggle with, too. How do you overcome this with your students? #adechat

jdeinhammer Oct 4 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@Mrreiff I heard that so much at first - can you just lecture and tell me what to do -- not so much anymore - they see the benefit #adechat

nancykawaja Oct 4 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@marcdrumm reminded me of this : https://t.co/Ukk4dzFIp7 #adechat

PerkyScience Oct 4 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@Mrreiff Students that have learned how to "school" rather than how to to learn are great fans of high structure low autonomy. #adechat

marcdrumm Oct 4 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@MsVictoriaOlson @cicohen Polling apps - so easy to poll the class or a subgroup #adechat

cicohen Oct 4 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A5: The more you show your Ss you respect and trust them, the more respect and trust they will show you. #adechat

Mrreiff Oct 4 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@MsVictoriaOlson We sit down and brainstorm together. Sometimes autonomy needs to have "training wheels." #adechat

kt_rexler Oct 4 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A5: Start with releasing control over an activity they are comfortable with, then progress forward. Control will destroy autonomy. #adechat

kt_rexler Oct 4 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@PerkyScience @Mrreiff Excellent point! #adechat

PerkyScience Oct 4 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A5: Let Ss pick a topic they want to learn about that links to your standards. They are more excited for autonomy when they choose #adechat

jdeinhammer Oct 4 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@MsVictoriaOlson a5: Its important to build confidence in kids with early & frequent success-they have to believe they are capable #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A5: Model a task the way you want it done and then gradually release responsibility over time. Decreases learned helplessness later #adechat

PerkyScience Oct 4 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@MsVictoriaOlson Modeling is so critical to Ss success. Gives them a safety net to work within. #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@jdeinhammer Yes, make tasks manageable by breaking them down. I.e. Can't just jump into inquiry w/o knowing where to research #adechat

MiaLMorrison Oct 4 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@jdeinhammer @MsVictoriaOlson Absolutely agree Need to BUILD autonomy - start with immed success & grow from there #ADEchat SO IMPORTANT

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@PerkyScience And provides expectations within that menu so they have a target or goal to hit #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A5: Once Ss master tasks in Daily 5, for ex, we blend them & provide choice. Today, we're at about 75% of tasks we can pick from #adechat

PerkyScience Oct 4 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@MsVictoriaOlson Absolutely along with some models of success so they know what the target looks like. Then they can aim higher. #adechat

MsVictoriaOlson - Moderator Oct 4 @ 9:51 PM EDT
