nice to meet you! So glad you are here

Good to be here, and good morning to all

A1 Growing your mind and not limiting yourself to your own beliefs.
-
A1) It means never being satisfied with what one does, and always pushing to learn more, adapt, and grow.
-
growth mindset means that if I don't get it the first time -- there is still time! I CAN learn it
-
-
A1: Growth mindset=the mind can grow in whatever ways you push it to grow!
-
Yes! So many! Let's home I can keep up! lol
-
A1: is challenging my Ss and myself to TRY new things and not be afraid of mistakes or challenges.
-
A1: Risk-taking without shame or regret...knowing the learning is in the doing!
-
Awesome! Then you came to the right place! Welcome to
-
A1 to me is empowering my kids to work through a struggle and be positive! Don't get hung up on the "can't"
-
A1 - that growth is not limited - dare to take risks and learn from your failure
-
A1: I see as resilience, opportunities to try new strategies, to revise, explain mistakes, work hard, don't give up
-
a1-growth mindset to me is knowing your brain needs exercise and practice to get stronger
-
A1 growth mind set is approaching things with an open hand -- ready for whatever -- free to learn even from initial failure
-
A1: Associated with Dweck's popularized repackaging of her research. Used right can be + but used superficially can be -
-
A1: A means the road never dead ends and the view is always changing. Keep moving towards your goals
-
Yes! 'Don't get hung up' that's key!
-
A1. Being open, not closed minded.
-
yes! I tell my kids it's like pushups.
-
A1: For me as a sped teacher it means I don't make excuses just empower them as often as possible. Every S can grow!
-
A1: Believing that you can succeed and learn if you try your hardest and don't give up
-
Yes. Building confidence in failures! https://t.co/2DIHsgtXJ3
-
-
A1: is challenging my Ss and myself to TRY new things and not be afraid of mistakes or challenges.
-
A1: Never give up! Find joy in the steps you take to make your world a better place...no matter the challenges!
-
Gotta keep moving to reach those goals! Agreed https://t.co/HiIPClvSxa
-
-
A1: A means the road never dead ends and the view is always changing. Keep moving towards your goals
-
A1 it also involves the powerful truth of life -- sometimes it takes awhile for you to learn something
-
-
I love that! Finding joy is so important! We want successful Ss but kind ones too https://t.co/VGdouKaJl0
-
-
A1: Never give up! Find joy in the steps you take to make your world a better place...no matter the challenges!
-
-
I love the risk-taking part of your answer, teaching & learning ain't fun without risk!
-
not surprising given how similar Dweck's research is to Duckworth.
-
-
yes sometimes it does take awhile. We have to be patient
-
A1: Positivity is contagious...pass it on every day...really supports the learning processes!
-
A2 - sometimes just letting go and letting them lead helps -- don't shut them down because it won't work that way
-
Love it! Slow learning with spaced & interleaved practice is the stuff. https://t.co/nq1huUbG3M
-
-
A1 it also involves the powerful truth of life -- sometimes it takes awhile for you to learn something
-
I truly do believe that! https://t.co/z45IHif4za
-
-
A1: Positivity is contagious...pass it on every day...really supports the learning processes!
-
A2: open questions that don't have just one correct answer, lots of praise & encouragement, collaboration/sharing of ideas
-
A2 My Ss set a new individual goal every day and focus on it.
-
love it when this happens and they makes sense of it a whole new way! https://t.co/4Lo6Y2U18S
-
-
A2 - sometimes just letting go and letting them lead helps -- don't shut them down because it won't work that way
-
That's a great idea! Love that they do it daily! https://t.co/c90KfKtCLx
-
-
A2 My Ss set a new individual goal every day and focus on it.
-
A2 also pull back the curtain and let them see YOU struggle to find a solution
-
wow, every day? That's impressive!
-
Joe, math & STEM coach from CA.
-
I found some posters online & we review them each morning.
-
A1 being open to change..collaborate and share
-
A2.Modeling is a good way to teach kids to do anything, so I think it would work in this case too.
-
-
Yes! I try to stay out of it as much as I can! https://t.co/WK0DhpXMWa
-
-
A2 - sometimes just letting go and letting them lead helps -- don't shut them down because it won't work that way
-
Some of them pick the same one, but I just want them to be mindful :D
-
-
great skill to learn early...set daily goals!
-
A2: Don't have own class this year; last year my Ss did focuses on lifeskills & growth mindset
-
Like it! Being open to many perspectives...stretches the mind, increases learning potential!
-
If a S is having trouble, I chunk up the challenge even more and maybe we can both come up with a new strategy!
-
probably stealing this idea :D
-
a2- I believe in open ended questions where I model some thinking strategies for it helps.
-
A2: we use problem based learning at all grades to get Ss communicating different ways to solve the same problem
-
A2 I let mine see me struggle with new things so they know it's 👍🏻 if they struggle! Encourage them to work through tough stuff
-
-
Taking risks is sometimes the most important part of learning something new! https://t.co/h5eBYBvhHA
-
-
I love the risk-taking part of your answer, teaching & learning ain't fun without risk!
-
I love that! A different goal each day gives them purpose to keep moving forward
-
A2: I called them paths to new learning, instead of challenges
-
It's been too long. Glad to be back with the crew without a meeting distracting me.
-
A2 also sometimes it is a translation issue -- they need to hear it from a kid not me.
-
Q2: Motivate students/positive encouragement/let them see us accepting challenges & struggling sometimes https://t.co/YwcV37NHhU
-
Right on! Being open to changes in thinking!
-
Sometimes your focus today isn't the same tomorrow.
-
Hey! Didn't even see you pop in here! Nice to see you
-
Joining in to participate today, Velia here
-
I always say success is in the struggle I start this day one I share my struggles as a student and how I persevered
-
-
Well said. Very essential for all learners.
-
welcome to 😀😀 glad you made it!
-
My Ss hear me say often "if it's easy you're not getting better". Challenges bring change so "bring it on!"
-
-
challenge them in a different way. Don't just ask them to solve a problem. Have them make it first
-
A2 and lastly, I like to remind them of things they've already conquered -- remember when you couldn't read, or walk, or talk
-
A2:Model the challenges I have to face & how I deal with them, encourage collaboration & stretching thoughts.
-
A2 ownership and student choice
-
A2: I give them as much tools to find a path around challenges or ways to engineer a tunnel through challenges every chance I get
-
a2 peer modeling is also successful
-
Have some we review each morning too! But gotta try the daily goals :) Send those posters my way https://t.co/bvbsfEMAMP

A1: Growth Mindset means seeing opportunities for growth in everything. When failing, fail forward.
-
A1 Means no matter how many times U fall, U always get bk up. Growth+success don't mean not failing, but not refusing 2get bk up.
-
Sometimes for me it is a literal translation issue- I'm in a dual language school! Haha
-
-
Q2 challenge them in a different way.Don't just ask them to solve a problem. Have them make it first
-
A1: I really like the idea of changes in thinking being welcomed...kind of a more positive spin on learning from mistakes.
-
A1 Growth mindset is wrestling with yourself to overcome obstacles, knowing power of YET + having time to process and learn
-
Q2 - At the beginning of year I show them the scene from Meet the Robinsons when the kid blows up the PB&J invention sets tone
-
"Fail forward" love that and totally using it from now on! https://t.co/OGPRjwuH6I
-
-
A1: Growth Mindset means seeing opportunities for growth in everything. When failing, fail forward.
-
Open ended Qs provides opportunities for diverse thoughts & creativity.
-
oh me too -- we are 98% 2nd language learners -- but usually the barrier is kidspeak
-
What is up ? Gregg checking in a little late from Modesto.
-
PBL is perfect for expanding mindfulness. You will come across challenges & have to confront them https://t.co/hPlD0b5y3P
-
-
A2: we use problem based learning at all grades to get Ss communicating different ways to solve the same problem
-
A3 Some think it's a fad or another trend in education. It's not. It has been around for years! Just more light on it now!
-
A3: Everyone can do everything at the same pace! It's about stretching oneself, not competition!
-
This. One needs to see an example of the path to follow to have an idea of how to craft your own. https://t.co/Ls7dMqlYyI
-
-
A2.Modeling is a good way to teach kids to do anything, so I think it would work in this case too.
-
PBL is such a powerful practice. Makes learning real & provides instant engagement.
-
a2 you can't just say have a growth mindset & leave it (that's patronizing & condescending). Build it by showing path to success
-
A3 - That it is ok for students to have a "productive struggle"
-
A1: Simply put...learning to embrace change with an open mind.
-
A3 that it is JUST being happy, postive and saying YOU CAN DO IT
-
A3 challenge students, push their thinking and thinking outside the box! Experimenting even with failure.
-
A2 Always keep them believing they have a . Challenges can be an adventure or they can become an ordeal. You choose!
-
A3: failure because I'm not good enough, or didn't trying hard enough. is more than just trying harder.
-
Yes! Mine too but once you get them into that routine they get so much better at it https://t.co/1iqhOiKkW4
-
-
A2:Many of my students have a hard time just trying.I make them try.Then we talk about different ways to approach.
-
I also want kids to fail early & fail often. Takes sting out of failing later. See all failures as iterations
-
-
-
A3: I think people believe means changing how you teach. I see it as just changing your vocab & cues for kids.
-
-
A3: When students are stuck some view as a lack of effort and growth, some efforts work different than others
-
I have a blog post about this. Need to link it here. https://t.co/HfN8A9Jy7m
-
-
"Fail forward" love that and totally using it from now on! https://t.co/OGPRjwuH6I
-
-
A1: Growth Mindset means seeing opportunities for growth in everything. When failing, fail forward.
-
A1: A growth mindset means never giving up and not backing down from a challenge!
-
Letting go of control turning to student leading discussion and learning
-
-
A3 that it's just another thing passing through the education field. Another "buzz word"
-
-
great point. Shaping curriculum to enable greater opportunities for challenge to enable struggle https://t.co/Hwm8Uz8Juq
-
-
Open ended Qs provides opportunities for diverse thoughts & creativity.
-
Really like how you've explained it!
-
a3-afraid of failing is huge! Don't want to let anyone down
-
We can't just expect kids to change how they see learning, we have to change how we see teaching too! https://t.co/tCJzQzKPu8
-
-
A3: I think people believe means changing how you teach. I see it as just changing your vocab & cues for kids.
-
I just shared the classdojo growth mind set video with everyone today!! resource. TY DOJO! Kids love it
-
A3 Kids are scared 2 try because they've been hurt be4 by teachers! "I just explained it!" & "weren't you listening!" ARE KILLERS
-
A2: One way to rethink challenges is to focus on how you improve with each attempt and not focus on getting the "right" answer
-
A3: I feel that a common misconception is that it is more praise than feedback or instruction. I always give feedback
-
A2@nyctechmommy challenge them in a different way.Don't just ask them to solve a problem.Have them make it first
-
Yes! Isn't it great!!! Kids love those adorable monsters + such a powerful message https://t.co/v06RLcTdb1
-
-
I just shared the classdojo growth mind set video with everyone today!! resource. TY DOJO! Kids love it
-
-
-
led to a great discussion too!
-
-
A3 it is deeper than curriculum or technique -- It is thinking a different way -- ready to learn and grow
-
I think kids learn best that way too! Solve each others problems I always say. Ha! https://t.co/VEfNNb1SVf
-
-
A2@nyctechmommy challenge them in a different way.Don't just ask them to solve a problem.Have them make it first
-
'Modelling' struggle can be so powerful!
-
Yes! And it's something EVERYONE can do!
-
Definitely important for us to model for children AND our peers. https://t.co/MwnkrDBsnX
-
-
A1: A growth mindset means never giving up and not backing down from a challenge!
-
-
Oh the struggle is real every day in my class! lol
-
Yes, exactly! I was trying to figure out if I was making up terms or not, guess I'm a little rusty today!
-
-
Wonderful things happen when we let our Ss lead. Let's really walk the walk about being student-centered https://t.co/gq3CYqR8KY
-
-
Letting go of control turning to student leading discussion and learning
-
A3 I think one misconception about is that kids will resist it. I think most kids would prefer this perspective!
-
-
Kids need to be taught that a,fail is their first attempt in learning. We all do it and we all need to try and try again
-
enabling peer community discussion of struggle is essential. It is something we do on with project days https://t.co/BHVJfw79Zl
-
-
'Modelling' struggle can be so powerful!
-
A4 Growth mindset sounds like: lemme try something, wait, what if I put this here? Did you figure this one out?
-
I say this to parents all the time! Kids have to see our struggles as a part of life. https://t.co/Y71nZSeXMT
-
-
'Modelling' struggle can be so powerful!
-
wear failure as a badge of honour! https://t.co/KBiXqkEl3v
-
-
A3 challenge students, push their thinking and thinking outside the box! Experimenting even with failure.
-
A4; Ss asking each other "what is another way to think about that?" Encouraging others' struggles, empathizing with challenges.
-
A4 it looks like groups of Ss huddled together - -usually trying to write or talk at the same time!
-
and feeling safe and comfortable in your classroom to ask these questions
-
A4: Ss encouraged to take on challenges, try new strategies, acknowledge & explain mistakes, get critical feedback from peers
-
A2: Invite students to engage in inquiry, to pursue a number of different solution pathways, to engage in Genius Hour.
-
Josh, show Ss the growth mindset video and witness the results
-
A4 Lots of encouragement from each other, clapping, "Yet" reminders, modeling excellence, making mistakes, trying again.
-
Sometimes the opportunity for growth is in the families. Help the adults foster growth mindset. https://t.co/bF3WPb0oCn
-
-
A3 I think one misconception about is that kids will resist it. I think most kids would prefer this perspective!
-
A3. Misconception would be that there is no failure involved.
-
they can't develop a growth mindset if teachers suffocate their potential https://t.co/aXzk3whk2U
-
-
Letting go of control turning to student leading discussion and learning
-
A4 what if I tried this? How could we find the answer a different way? Lots of partner and group discussions! No wrong answer.
-
A4: One thing I do is model the myself. My students all know I am far from perfect; I sometimes struggle too!
-
A4 in MY room it is often, "No, Mrs. E you don't do it that way! Lemme show you! I already solved that one. I got this."
-
My students definitely had that as their motto. https://t.co/fIwjC8IFVN
-
-
Kids need to be taught that a,fail is their first attempt in learning. We all do it and we all need to try and try again
-
Best way to do it! Truly authentic!
-
A4: in my room is constant chatter "you can do this" "just try it!" "Mistakes help us learn"
-
Q4: I see kids make up their own acronyms for terms or participate in a deep discussion with their shoulder partner or Kagan team
-
Agree. Setting the right culture is hard for this. Any ideas on the best ways to do this? https://t.co/vyLbrwMQam
-
-
and feeling safe and comfortable in your classroom to ask these questions
-
Yes! Yes! Yes! Take risks, try something new, collaborate https://t.co/fbmMP0VfX4
-
-
A4 Growth mindset sounds like: lemme try something, wait, what if I put this here? Did you figure this one out?
-
A4- of course Ss working together as a team and helping each other. Collaborative work between students most powerful tool.
-
Right there with you, sister! 😊
-
a4- realizing it is ok to fall but how you get up is what counts. Understand they might not get it the first time
-
making them play devil's advocate on their own work
-
A4 Vocabulary! Ts model this explicitly, vocab penetrates the classroom, on chartpaper, Ss use it with eachother
-
is very understandable for kids. They will embrace it if the enthusiasm is there by the teacher
-
A4 and to be honest it's kind of noisy & sometimes someone gets frustrated and there might be tears but it is real
-
-
Being vulnerable is not easy, but so necessary!
-
You will never see a better struggle than using Tangrams w/ Ss!
-
A4. Lots of working together and questioning together.
-
A4: We also remind each other that the best learning happens when we struggle. a no brainer = our brains aren't growing!
-
A4 -- And I like to celebrate the toughness of it -- Ss equate ease with intelligence and we must proudly display struggle
-
awesome! having Ss see your mess ups let's them understand anyone can make mistake, it's how younger back up!
-
A4: if the teacher exudes the enthusiasm and energy the students will follow suit. Make learning fun
-
definitely frustrating at times! But so worth it.
-
taking the time to get to know your students - class meetings - we are a team and we will lift each other up
-
Learn together. https://t.co/sSconB0pnr
-
-
Agreed! Never be afraid to tell your students "I don't know!"; make it a learning opportunity!
-
-
one catch to this: poorly created collaborative work creates bad learning experience & negative attitudes https://t.co/ZhW3d3vqlb
-
-
A4- of course Ss working together as a team and helping each other. Collaborative work between students most powerful tool.
-
and SO noisy. Half the time I feel like I need a sign "pardon the noise, we're learning!"
-
Hahaha! But they love it and although they may not know how yet they will get there! https://t.co/xu37oa4JP3
-
-
You will never see a better struggle than using Tangrams w/ Ss!
-
-
I find they are much harder on themselves than others are!
-
It is the cutest video ever!! So many Ss will benefit. Can't wait for the next video
-
I would suggest that if there is no struggle there is little learning! https://t.co/Ym32bvGTOK
-
-
A4: We also remind each other that the best learning happens when we struggle. a no brainer = our brains aren't growing!
-
-
Q5:The power of YET is in fact very powerful! How do you encourage/celebrate mistakes in your classroom? https://t.co/RzQ0vA9gqs
-
You have to be all in -- I stay late more nights than I want too -- but they need time to work on something
-
Outstanding timing! Your Ss are going to love it!
-
so true. Collaboration needs to be purposeful and powerful.
-
They need to learn to do a productive struggle.
-
A4@nyctechmommy I love giving high fives for failure after they tried.Gets them trying more with less fear
-
I know I shared with a bunch of teachers and they are already asking when can I get more lol! https://t.co/KNwyKGP2wE
-
-
It is the cutest video ever!! So many Ss will benefit. Can't wait for the next video
-
whenever I use self & peer reviews they are very tough! Much tougher than I am
-
A5 praise effort - not the grade
-
A5 Seeing them struggle & then the lightbulb moment hits. That's the power of yet.
-
-
We are our own worst critics!
-
A3: Misconception: GM is easy to maintain.
-
A5 I do my own work on the big board so they can see me struggle and fail too! ?
-
A5: I have taught my children to be risk takers. We applaud all thinking and then help those who need to tweak their thinking
-
A5: it's easy in KDG because they don't know any different way yet. Ss let Ts call out mistakes to help whole class learn.
-
Ok here is my next exciting thing, I signed up on a wait list for administrators for class dojo!
-
-
my kids self and peer reviews are tough! Learning to be honest with themselves and each other!
-
this purposeful/powerful is huge: the right collaborative experiences can be transformative https://t.co/PjWF8jftHG
-
-
so true. Collaboration needs to be purposeful and powerful.
-
I'm just running a little late Glenn from Michigan
-
A5. Letting them know that sometimes it isn't all about the grade, effort and what is learned and gained is important too.
-
life lessons...be kind but honest. It doesn't help to sugar coat it!
-
A5 also have kids try to open jolly ranchers wearing garden gloves -- that is a closed mindset.
-
A5 encouragement that it's ok if something doesn't work the first time. How can we try again?
-
So important to model I We all encounter them and they make us stronger https://t.co/KWoVarWGad
-
-
A5 I do my own work on the big board so they can see me struggle and fail too! ?
-
A5: build community that learns from mistakes, teach aspiration, courage, risk taking, reflection https://t.co/UQqhpncp3O
-
Take the gloves off your thinking about what you can and can't do -- it is getting in the way
-
A5- I make mistakes myself on purpose!
-
Fast learning is short term. Slow learning = long-term (a year or more). The latetr enables more https://t.co/wZ1lAsz6k8
-
Gotta duck out ! Late dinner tonight! Time to fuel the body!
-
A5 a lot of class and peer discussion. Sharing ideas. Respecting each other's views
-
A3: "Good job!", "You're so smart!", "Just try harder!" ...big misconceptions.
-
Love when I start hearing Ss do this on their own and you hear them say it to each other! Goes a long way https://t.co/0kzx0iQOvY
-
-
A5 encouragement that it's ok if something doesn't work the first time. How can we try again?
-
I wish I could say mine were all planned and acting!
-
-
-
-
A4: If a S makes a mistake, I explain that they're thinking on the right track. I then have them think it out with a partner
-
A5: I make them myself! Last week I had a lesson go terribly. I told Ss "I made a mistake; but I'll do my best to learn from this"
-
Letting them know that everyone makes mistakes. THANK the student for participating and tell them to try, try again.
-
I must bow out :( have to feed the kids, and take a conference call. Later I've got to teach myself wireframes
-
effort>grade but it is about the specifics. Dweck's research is not validated against neutral feedback https://t.co/4x9Q9Tsqmp
-
-
A5 praise effort - not the grade
-
-
Respecting each others views is a biggie! We all have different ways. Right? https://t.co/C0NXlmZSuw
-
-
A5 a lot of class and peer discussion. Sharing ideas. Respecting each other's views
-
Bye Jenny! See you next week!
-
dojo love to all! must fly because I haven't cooked dinner YET
-
Thanks for stopping in! Enjoy dinner :)
-
A5: In music, mistakes are really obvious, but we giggle and try not to take things so seriously. We are a silly bunch.
-
A6 helping the students that have heard in the past they will not succeed or that they are bad at mad, writing, etc.
-
A6 self confidence. Having them value themselves enough to believe in themselves
-
A6 helping the students that have heard in the past they will not succeed or that they are bad at math, writing, etc.
-
A6 I feel my Ss are sometimes limited by what I don't know!!! I might be there weakest link!
-
A4: Collaborative risk-takers who are verging on fearless because they see the value in working hard and learning, with T support.
-
A6 Reminding myself to let them see MY struggles & MY . We aren't perfect.
-
A6: Ss watch each other & stress to get it quicker/beat someone. We encourage competing against yourself not your classmate.
-
A6: Ss can be hard on themselves, compare themselves, want to take the easy way. Challenging for them to embrace the process.
-
Yay! I was just telling a few admins I know about this and forwarded the info to them. https://t.co/NHgEUwGtyG
-
-
Ok here is my next exciting thing, I signed up on a wait list for administrators for class dojo!
-
A6 lack of self confidence and parents fixed mindsets. They can't do something so their child can't either!
-
why not just say, I don't want to push you further or challenge you! That is the message.
-
A6: My biggest struggle is that I see them for 45 minutes once a week and if we aren't doing a whole group task, S freak out.
-
A6 Self confidence. If Ss dont believe in themselves, then they won't have the growth mindset.
-
Right either he's not smart enough or he's too smart for that. I can't stand it! https://t.co/x4DXN8PpFP
-
-
A6 lack of self confidence and parents fixed mindsets. They can't do something so their child can't either!
-
A6. That failure and not being "right" all the time is ok.
-
A5 Always separate child fr the action. Express disappointment in choice, but remind them of UR belief in them/their potential
-
pet peeve of mine! Or "I don't understand the math sheets, so we're not doing them." 🙄
-
A5 I will make deliberate mistakes to show them everyone makes mistakes
-
Hang in there! Maybe try breaking it up, whole group then small group, then whole group till they get it https://t.co/0oQ2oqQLOr
-
-
A6: My biggest struggle is that I see them for 45 minutes once a week and if we aren't doing a whole group task, S freak out.

A7 I started using periscope my parents love the immediate connection as do my students

I let them see my real mistakes too and I often make fun of them because it's ok to make mistakes, we all do it
-
A7 through communication and educating them I loved how had the take home connection letters for video
-
A7: is moving towards which helps parents see potential in each area rather than stressing on straight As

A7. Communication is key.

a7 this is hard. Sometimes they perpetuate fixed mindsets; or they are enablers. So little time!
-
Q6: If I'm having a challenging/frustrating/difficult day, sometimes I'm the biggest barrier.
-
A7: We have to educate Ps too! Have discussions about ways to praise the process, encourage them to let kids see their mistakes

-
A7 I started using periscope my parents love the immediate connection as do my students

A7: I communicate through Class Dojo of course! I did see some wristbands for extended learning at home on TpT I could use

A5: I don't teach. But I often tell kids it is important to bring a big enough boat when fishing.
-
A6: Trying to avoid having 'growth mindset' become an overused message that becomes 'lost' or ignored.
-
A6 Challenging belief systems! Sometimes kids become product of circumstances/need someone2 teach them how 2believe in themselves

a7 we don't have parent-teacher interviews: but learning dialogues. Students discuss their learning & progression. This works!

A8 Set goals every day. Take 5 minutes as a class & just be mindful about it.
-
Now THAT is outstanding! Building a window into your classroom for Ps to see all the learning Ss are engaged in
-
can you give an example it 2 of the goals they set? Dying of curiosity.
-
A8: I am slowly getting better at Kagan strategies- they do help and they can be fun. It's less stress for everyone.
-
They are going to love the video!
-
A8: it helps to get away from paper/pencil/desk traditions and use flexible learning environments to encourage choices
-
What a great idea! Points for "I tried but have yet to learn" That will surely get parents https://t.co/YGSVXzYjKQ

Yes the parents can type during the live broadcast they can watch the video (stays up for 24hrs) in case they miss it
-
More than videos! Many great resources included! Love the discussion guide, including take-home notes https://t.co/QpSP6rMde3

Nic, I just viewed the pp, looks like Ss take full responsibility for the interview. Ss speak to their own learning
-
great chatting with you! I loved finding new friends on and hope we can continue collaborating!
-
A:8 I ask my Ss if they've ever played Angry Birds. It starts great dialogue about failing, but never giving up.
-
I use Periscope all the time but never for the classroom. I have to share this idea with Ts. Do you make it private?
-
A8: Challenges bring change, change brings new learning and growth, leading to increased confidence and competence.
-
Nic, some learning in this for me. I will share with my staff, great idea to take ownership of learning
