  • Rdene915 Nov 1 @ 6:06 PM EDT
    A1 Offer diff choices for Ss to create and show learning, using #PBL helps with this, my Ss have become more curious in learning #recapchat
  • Rdene915 Nov 1 @ 6:07 PM EDT
    A1 We can ask Ss some Qs like What if, or How could, or even saying I wonder and seeing what Ss come up with #recapchat
  • TessReiche Nov 1 @ 6:07 PM EDT
    A1: new hands on experiences, getting outside of the classroom! Learning in the real world inspires curiosity #recapchat
  • smilelearning Nov 1 @ 6:07 PM EDT
    Looking forward to it! #recapchat
    In reply to @EmilyMerritt
  • cpoole27 Nov 1 @ 6:08 PM EDT
    A1: I have weekly mtgs with my Ss where I give them concepts and they explore how they would like to learn them. #recapchat
  • Rdene915 Nov 1 @ 6:08 PM EDT
    Definitely, when Ss have time to explore, look around rather than simply sit, so many benefits #recapchat

    After hearing so many great ideas from @burgessdave last week, so many ways to hook students and promote curiosity #tlap #recapchat
  • RecapThat - Moderator Nov 1 @ 6:09 PM EDT
    Here comes Q2! #RecapChat
  • Rdene915 Nov 1 @ 6:09 PM EDT
    A1 Having Ss work together and brainstorm ideas, then try to come up with new idea/way to express something #recapchat
  • Rdene915 Nov 1 @ 6:09 PM EDT
    Does this take a great deal of planning time? #recapchat
    In reply to @cpoole27
  • smilelearning Nov 1 @ 6:09 PM EDT
    A1: Let students talk more, listen to what they have to say, step back and watch the magic happen. #recapchat
  • DrJacieMaslyk Nov 1 @ 6:09 PM EDT
    A1) Ensuring that students have access to #makerspaces and a variety of learning materials to pursue their interests in school. #recapchat
  • D4Griffin3 Nov 1 @ 6:09 PM EDT
    #A1) I think students are naturally curious however they may not be curious about what adults are curious about at that moment. #RecapChat
  • RecapThat - Moderator Nov 1 @ 6:10 PM EDT
    Q2 How can we inspire students to become curious about subject areas they’re not initially interested in? #RecapChat
  • smilelearning Nov 1 @ 6:10 PM EDT
    Love that they choose their own learning. Great student empowerment! #recapchat
    In reply to @cpoole27
  • Rdene915 Nov 1 @ 6:10 PM EDT
    Yes, I have gotten away from feeling like I have to speak the whole time, less me and more them #recapchat
    In reply to @smilelearning
  • Katiemc827 Nov 1 @ 6:10 PM EDT
    A1: Ss need to ask the Qs and discover the As. Learn that fail=learn and to keep trying. We don't have all the answers #RecapChat
  • EmilyMerritt - Moderator Nov 1 @ 6:10 PM EDT
    I love this! Sometimes just making the resources available and getting them into Ss' hands is all it takes to spark curiosity! #RecapChat

    Hi Jacie :) thanks for joining #recapchat and so true, #makerspaces #makered is great for promoting curiosity & #stuchoice
    In reply to @DrJacieMaslyk
  • TessReiche Nov 1 @ 6:11 PM EDT
    A2: Relating new subjects and experiences to ones they already understand to spark their desire to delve further #recapchat
    In reply to @RecapThat
  • cpoole27 Nov 1 @ 6:11 PM EDT
    A1: We eliminate excuses. My Ss approach things with "and" instead of "but". By ending statements with "and," they grow forward #recapchat
  • EmilyMerritt - Moderator Nov 1 @ 6:11 PM EDT
    So true! What a great insight! I think taking time to stop and listen to Ss is really key here. #RecapChat
    In reply to @D4Griffin3
  • Rdene915 Nov 1 @ 6:12 PM EDT
    A2 Share stories of times when we have explored other areas, why it helped/made a difference/what we learned #recapchat
  • Rdene915 Nov 1 @ 6:12 PM EDT
    Hey Dennis, so true, we have to find ways to keep Ss engaged and learn abt their interests so we can promote the curiosity some #recapchat
    In reply to @D4Griffin3
  • nathan_stevens - Moderator Nov 1 @ 6:12 PM EDT
    A2 by using tools that they love to use in their non-school Time #RecapChat
    In reply to @RecapThat
  • smilelearning Nov 1 @ 6:12 PM EDT
    A2: Ss love hands on - give them something concrete and then use that as a gateway to gather interest. #recapchat
  • Rdene915 Nov 1 @ 6:12 PM EDT
    I admit a lot to my Ss that I may not know the answer, and that we can't knw everything, but we have to be willing to look #recapchat
    In reply to @Katiemc827
  • nathan_stevens - Moderator Nov 1 @ 6:12 PM EDT
    A2 it is all about framing the content to engage them #recapchat
    In reply to @RecapThat
  • Rdene915 Nov 1 @ 6:13 PM EDT
    A2 By relating to Ss how interests can change, I tell Ss that I didn't even take Spanish in H.S., took French and now teach Span #recapchat
  • EmilyMerritt - Moderator Nov 1 @ 6:13 PM EDT
    That is awesome! I think we adults could take a page out of that book too at times :) #RecapChat
    In reply to @cpoole27
  • DrJacieMaslyk Nov 1 @ 6:13 PM EDT
    A2) When classes explore through genius hour or passion projects, all students get to learn through the interests of others. #recapchat
  • Rdene915 Nov 1 @ 6:13 PM EDT
    Just so many ideas for telling a story, setting up the start of class, diff ways to engage Ss, #recapchat

    In reply to @Rdene915, @coolcatteacher
  • Rdene915 Nov 1 @ 6:14 PM EDT
    So true, when we help attach meaning, and Ss connect it, develop an interest, motivation goes up, Ss are in control #recapchat
    In reply to @TessReiche, @RecapThat
  • cpoole27 Nov 1 @ 6:14 PM EDT

    In reply to @nathan_stevens, @RecapThat, @TaraMartinEDU
  • historyhistory4 Nov 1 @ 6:16 PM EDT

    In reply to @RecapThat
  • D4Griffin3 Nov 1 @ 6:16 PM EDT
    A2) I think 🤔 that we have to focus on the intentionality behind our questions that lead to #CognitiveRigor and engagement. #RecapChat
  • gregorjm Nov 1 @ 6:16 PM EDT
    A2 #recapchat You need to use hooks! Find compelling video clips or photographs. Show how the topic does relate to them.
    In reply to @RecapThat
  • Katiemc827 Nov 1 @ 6:16 PM EDT
