"In May 2012, students around the world formed Student Voice with the creation of the #StuVoice Twitter chats. Soon, presidential candidates, the Secretary of Education, Fortune 100 companies, education corporations, reporters, teachers, parents and community members joined the conversation to discuss ways to make the the education system beneficial for all involved." --www.stuvoice.org/
Q1: Less teacher talk and more student-centered learning makes for a happy, healthy, and productive learning environment. In what ways do you include student voice and student choice in your curriculum? #4thchat#stuvoice
Thank you @LadueSchools for honoring our students Jaylen & Kaycee for their work in the City County partnership program w/the amazing folks @ksdknews “5 On Your Side.”Special 🙌🏻 @mdavidson09 for her hard work & our leader Mrs. Shirley Brown. #stl#KSDK#Stuvoice#edtech
Allow students to show what they have learned in ways they are comfortable with. Let them do some teaching and mentoring their peers. Listen to what they have to say. My What Students Want - #StuVoice page https://t.co/nUQy17sMFL#4thchat
Hey Liv!!! Thanks for stopping by! You are one busy girl! (I see you are heading to AK!). What would you want teachers to know....the #1 thing about #stuvoice? #4thchat
A2: Recently using programs like @PearDeck and @nearpod which lets EVERY voice be heard (anonymously) to classmates! But they answer nonetheless! #4thchat#stuvoice
OK, I would say to Ts, please know #stuvoice isn't a choice, it's a right. It's my learning, and I should be able to direct it. Being connected MATTERS A LOT! You will see from an earlier tweet how I network and get help to grow my passions! #StuVoice is #Myvoice#4thchat
Q4: Working together is a good reminder that we are all smarter when we all contribute. How often do your students get to collaborate? #4thchat#stuvoice
How did you become so connected @TheLiveBits I think it does matter a lot...we can learn so much from others. What are some ways you share your passions in school? #4thchat#stuvoice

Q6: Student-led conferences empower students by allowing them to take responsibility for their own education. Does your school have these? #4thchat#stuvoice
Hey Scott - all is good. Have a new role this year: Digital Learning Coach. Certainly get to see how different teachers approach #stuvoice in this role. #4thchat
A:7 Connecting Ss with authors, illustrators, publishers, professionals in areas of interest are a great way to offer #stuvoice#choice in authentic ways. It allows them to connect, be advocates and potentially impact change. #4thchat
#4thchat other things I'd want Ts to know about #stuvoice: It has to be #authentic. The best way to engage kids is to let them follow their passions. The more kids create, the more they understand their own story. If they post online about it, they learn about stuvoice and digcit
Authenticity is KEY! Learning has to be relevant - not just for kids but for all of us! Good point about DigCit. It's important for kids to practice that everyday. #4thchat#stuvoice
A8: That is one of the best things you can do for your students: #geniushour! Here's a way for Ss to really explore their passions, their interests, their dreams..all in school! So many learning opportunities. Helping a class tomorrow with their research! :) #4thchat#stuvoice
A8: yes my students participate in passion project or genius hour. These types of projects allow for #stuvoice by giving them something that they really want to work on and learn about. #4thchat
