    A6 spent more time talking to/with kids not worrying about content - shift to skills #sstlap
  • Chucktaft Dec 8 @ 9:45 PM EST
    A6 #sstlap push to ignore grades and focus on learning - cuz learning is cool - and make history relevant

    A6: Passion & enthusiasm are bookends for a reason. They hold it all together. Bring those & students will show up. Plus CARE! 👍🏼👍🏼 #sstlap

    Q7 Help steer the ship- how do we continue to make #sstlap meaningful to Social Studies teachers and all who join?

    A7) Great question. We're trying to come up with some ideas for sschat as well. I'd be up for a Voxer group. :) #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:48 PM EST
    A7 I am open to ideas- I have said many times this isn't my chat but our community- please share your ideas #sstlap

    A7 #sstlap love idea of virtual conference or GHO - a smackdown o' ideas, best practices, find ways to collab- SS Virtual EdCamp
  • kiddielitprof Dec 8 @ 9:49 PM EST
    A7: I'd love to hear from more profs of SS Methods courses! #sstlap
  • kiddielitprof Dec 8 @ 9:50 PM EST
    A7: Is there a central meeting place for all???? I'd be willing to travel. 😊✈️🚗🚲 #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:50 PM EST
    I would love to teach some methods students-share the #sstlap message so new Ts come out ahead of the game not stuck in the old ways #sstlap
  • jmadlin001 Dec 8 @ 9:51 PM EST
    A6 I think some Ss would because we have good rapport. They really do like curr events, but I don't know if I could sell tickets. #sstlap
  • Chucktaft Dec 8 @ 9:51 PM EST
    yup - and (IMO), I hope methods profs want to hear from #sstlap Ts

    A7) as a prof of a SS methods course, I have actually assigned my candidates to participate in Twitter chats. We hosted one once too #sstlap
  • CoachLaFollett Dec 8 @ 9:51 PM EST
    A7-Connect with preservice institutions to push edchats. #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:51 PM EST
    we have tossed the idea out of a #sstlap edcamp or virtual - need to see if there is real interest and make it happen

    Easy recipe, Coop - flour, water, some salt - cut dough in squares, cook at 400 - adding maggots is optional #sstlap

    A7) was given the edu tech course this year and told to make it 21st century, Twitter chats will be present and #sstlap will be mentioned!

    What do you think causes that? Too new? Too organic(I hate that word). #sstlap

    Q8 Whenever you want to lead I will follow- what topics interest you and when do you want to host? #sstlap
  • mrgeorgehistory Dec 8 @ 9:54 PM EST
    Twitter chats will grow for new Ts. I think it is getting the "seasoned veterans" involved that is a greater struggle. #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Dec 8 @ 9:54 PM EST
    I attended 2 of them it was amazing experience #sstlap
  • CHitch94 Dec 8 @ 9:54 PM EST
    Think they're getting msg that social media is bad & can hurt you professionally rather than how to use it +ly. #sstlap

    A8) Would love an app/tech tool smackdown where folks share fave tools, samples of how they use them, etc. #sstlap
  • mrgeorgehistory Dec 8 @ 9:56 PM EST
    A8) I love the idea of document analysis. I teach CAPP, but would love to chat about how/what you all teach. #sstlap

    A8 #sstlap maybe an assessment chat/share - how do we know our Ss have hit targets? Creative assessments, innovative test Qs, performance
