StlrFan Oct 4 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A1 - My school had a large number of VB Design Fellows sharing their ideas with others. Also PBL and student choice. #VSTEreads #novaedchat

abctec Oct 4 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: actually we aren’t. It would be like assessing the effects of Ts on learning or books on learning - it’s part of what we do #novaedchat

JTillman1999 Oct 4 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Only one I know of is Content Area Reading:Literacy Learning Across the Curriculum by Vacca and Vacca. Not sure if this helps #novaedchat

How do we help Ts make sure they are using tech to support learning? #novaedchat @vstereads

Ts are very hesitant exactly because of this. It needs to be purposeful & not just a mindless replacement. Or what's the point? #novaedchat

MrHeronMU Oct 4 @ 8:22 PM EDT
