    Welcome to #scitlap! Please introduce yourself - name, role, location, & which Golden Girl you most identify with and why.

    Intro: Michael A., #STEM Facilitator for @smartlab_tweets from @simmonsknights1 and #122edchat. The Golden Girl I would most like to be is Dorothy. She's pretty intense and has a sharp sense of humor. I'm guessing that she was also misunderstood, often. #scitlap
  • megan_hacholski Jan 10 @ 9:01 PM EST
    Hi everyone! Megan, 8th Science & host of #122edchat. I am definitely Dorothy, with a little bit of Rose mixed in. Glad to have you all here in #scitlap!

    Just today. We're doing a game design unit so for "finding the play in things" I shared with them that back in HS my friends and I developed "MaskingBall" a game we came up with using used tape balls. Then asking have u and your friends come up with your own games? #scitlap

    Q7: I like to sit on my desk during my planning time and blast hits from the 90's. #scitlap

    yes I agree, but there is a lot of negativity in the lunchroom that I prefer to avoid most days #scitlap

    Q7: My team and I have carved out a little lunch room. We make it a point to have lunch together and just visit with each other. Sometimes we talk about Ss and sometimes we don't. It's nice to have this group at my building. #scitlap

    A8: Continually motivate them to BE the change that the world needs. Don't ever let them forget how special they are & all the good that they can do. #scitlap
  • _on11 Jan 10 @ 9:54 PM EST
    A8.1: I think it is all in how we approach things. If we believe that it's possible, they will most likely follow suit. Not everything has to be gloom and doom. Find the good and build on that. #scitlap

    A8.2: Also, I believe that establishing the fact that their voice matters now, at age 12, instead of 21...when they are gainfully employed with a paycheck. If they see value in their ideas now, anything is possible. We can change the world. #scitlap
  • _on11 Jan 10 @ 9:56 PM EST
  • MarianaGSerrato Jan 10 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A8: reminding them that "we are all in this together" and that everything can be done if you can take one small step. #scitlap
  • _on11 Jan 10 @ 9:56 PM EST
    Couldn't agree more. I can't remember where I said it, but at the end of last year I never cried more. The 8th Graders were the ones that were encouraging me at graduation. They had gotten so much that they wanted to give back. #scitlap

  • MrsAsztalos Jan 10 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A8 I think we have no idea what the world will be like in 10 years, so we have to first and foremost help our kiddos to be strong, empathetic, kind, and work hard. #scitlap
  • RealMrsBentley Jan 10 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A8- Remind them they matter. They need to be the change they want to see in the world!! #scitlap
