A2 I think students get excited when their teacher is excited. My kids were tickled to mix different powers with vinegar to see what happened. They were pumped! #MCTPACK
Putting on a lab coat and wearing goggles has them dying for the next chemistry experiment. If I'm wearing goggles they need theirs- instant excitement. #MCTPACK
@Eliz_Jordan was showing me a picture where a teacher brought in tons of plants to make her room look like a garden and teach descriptive writing. Amazing! #MCTPACK
A5: Bext year for my unit on the water cycle I plan on hanging some umbrellas from the ceiling in the hallway and a blue & silver Mylar curtain over the doorway entrance for a “water fall” #MCTPACK
A6: I think the first thing I would do is to redo my classroom to be more like those at Ron Clark. Not cluttered full of stuff and one central theme. #MCTPACK
A6 Oh with an unlimited budget I'd have a crazy classroom decorator help me redecorate the room for every unit and I'd also have a costume for each. #MCTPACK
A6: Technology, Devices, Robots, Engineering Supplies, LittleBits, Arduinos, Raspberry Pi’s, Roominate, Building Materials, Different Seating and Workstation areas, etc. #MCTPACK
