    The Power of Fun We cannot abandon fun in the name of learning. The two are not mutually exclusive. Q3: What do you do in your classroom/school to make learning fun for students? #CUEchat #EduInfluence #WeAreCUE #CUEauthors
  • PamRabin Feb 19 @ 10:22 PM EST

  • annkozma723 Feb 19 @ 10:23 PM EST
    A3 PLAY TO LEARN! Always! Any time I can get Ts/Ss to immediately dig in and go hands on... I’m all about #PlayPD and experiences. Allows Ts to develop empathy for Ss as they experience it from a different perspective. #cuechat
  • judyblakeney Feb 19 @ 10:24 PM EST
    The Power of Example: Students watch everything we do. We set an example, even when we don’t realize it. Q4: How can we view this notion as an opportunity rather than something to fear? #CUEchat #EduInfluence #WeAreCUE #CUEauthors
  • hilz2teach Feb 19 @ 10:24 PM EST
    A3) #CUEchat #WeAreCUE I think giving choice is a great way to make learning fun... always present learning as some type of job or career choice... and most of all allow them to come up with their own product because they have great ideas!!!
    In reply to @judyblakeney

  • KVoge71 Feb 19 @ 10:26 PM EST
    A4: Ts seem to fear tech not working for them in front of students. I really try to make sure they have a plan B and to #clickallthebuttons Take a deep breath and model perseverance. It's ok for things to not go perfectly. #FirstAttemptInLearning #CUEchat
  • PamRabin Feb 19 @ 10:26 PM EST
    A3) Music! Everything is better with a background track. I used it in my classroom to automate transition times, to build community, and as a means of expression or choice for assignments. And it was fun. I’d blast it and have a dance of in the few minutes before testing #cuechat
  • VisionsByVicky Feb 19 @ 10:27 PM EST
    A3: Looking forward to the end of this week - it's let's play the games we made for 1st, 6th, 7th, & 8th grades. Can't get much more fun than that! :) #cuechat

    A3: I try and incorporate their interests as much as I can. I also try and have them teach me about the stuff they love. I've learned a lot of things from students over the years. That way they can see we are all still learners no matter our roles. #cuechat #EduInfluence

  • justkeepSTEMing Feb 19 @ 10:30 PM EST
    A4: We can model kindness, we can show how we get frustrated and can still do so respectfully. Showing patience when things are going how we planned or something is down with tech. Allowing to Ss to see how we persevere through problems! #cuechat

    Q4) In my classroom, I modeled graceful failure on a daily basis. When you know students watch everything you do, it gives you the power to model resilience, positive mindsets, and kindness. These are qualities that can be learned and passed on to others with intent. #cuechat

    A4: One day I accidentaly had my calendar open on the class projector. One student asked what all of the color coded boxes were all over it, so I explained how I set up my system of events and reminders. A few students said, "I should do something like that!" #cuechat

    #cuechat I agree! Shake it up! Give learners choices and keep how they present information somewhat predictable but through a variety of means. It’s like food, you’d get sick of pizza if you ate it everyday.
