LynnSmargis May 24 @ 11:26 PM EDT

A3: Picking great higher level thinking questions and using a socrative seminar format #utedchat

A3: For my students it was important to provide background knowledge, a hook, group norms, and high interest discussion topics.#UTedChat

A3: step back and let the students lead it. You might be surprised at how well they do! #UTedChat

A4: It’s important to assign roles to allow all students a voice and help some step out of their comfort zone. #UTedChat

A4 I use @SMART_Tech LAB "Shout Out" to start discussions and encourage online participation #UTedChat A great springboard & filter answers

Q5 Fav #UTedChat Topic → A little imagination can go a long way in helping learning. How do you make your curriculum more fun & engaging?

I've loved all the great memes and gifs (I still pronounce it with a hard G sound b/c the creator is wrong) tonight in #UTedChat.

misterlarsen May 24 @ 11:50 PM EDT

A5: Let students have choice and a voice in their learning. The only thing that has to be set in stone is the learning objective. #UTedChat

BaggaleyMr May 24 @ 11:50 PM EDT

A5: This year I've taken my Ss to 15 or so field experiences connected to the curriculum. I also did "mobile learning" on iPads #UTedChat

misterlarsen May 24 @ 11:50 PM EDT

A5: The path to the learning can look different for every student. It’s OK to relinquish control. #UTedChat

missplott May 24 @ 11:50 PM EDT

A5: cute clip art and fonts 😂 oh and interesting topics like @breakoutEDU #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator May 24 @ 11:50 PM EDT
