#UTedChat

A3 - We do a "favorite no" where we look at Ss work that's incorrect, and work together to get to the root of the mistake.
#utedchat
CoryHenwood
Oct 4 @ 11:27 PM EDT
A3: Use
@geogebra

#utedchat

I use

Q4: How do you Empower Students' Voices with Technology?
#utedchat
Think tools for S's to communicate & share and how you promote ideas.
CoryHenwood

Think about how you can reach out to even the most quiet students and engage all students to share
#StuVoice
#UTedChat
Any great tech tools?
CoryHenwood
Oct 4 @ 11:31 PM EDT
A4: In discussion threads promoting and reply to student's thoughts helps them feel their ideas are valued and welcomed
