lesliewind1 Sep 8 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Best S Q so far? "Ur Ms Windheuser? Can I get a schdl chg so I can be in ur class?" 👍😁😎😊❤️ #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:10 PM EDT

First Q should be dropping if all is working correctly #sstlap

Mr_Lisek Sep 8 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@Braz74 Not at all. It was an awesome way to discuss how learning is different for everyone. Ss loved that. #sstlap

Ryan7Read Sep 8 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: I'm starting a new attention grabber tomorrow using my meme board. Full of characters and what they are doing today. #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1) When teaching f2f, love to start with image related to day's lesson or something w/ current events. Sparked discussion. #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Sep 8 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: Not always inspiring; often 1st day is "what one thing defines you" #sstlap

cheffernan75 Sep 8 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1 Great first question - makes me rethink what I'm doing - not too inspiring most days. :( #sstlap

Mr_Lisek Sep 8 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: Often we go off topic and just discuss what's on the Ss minds. Get them hooked, then lead it into the curriculum. #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Sep 8 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: I do often start with an image, cartoon or quote related to the day's topic or current event to spark conversation #sstlap

A1: say hello to each S. I like to give a welcome for being in class. Also an occasional song for reflection! Brings a focus! #sstlap

lesliewind1 Sep 8 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1 love giving a "did you know" ??? And launching into a great story or hook w/ great S discussion and Qs #sstlap https://t.co/guFhYwWctV

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Q1 how do you being your class? Is it inspiring to students? #sstlap https://t.co/EKqa7nuaYQ

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@acottos That personal welcome really helps Ss feel connected to T & class - creates community. #sstlap

Ryan7Read Sep 8 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@ConnellySue I use my #perlerbeads from various characters and put them on this portable board and make a story. #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Sep 8 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@CHitch94 @acottos I try to greet them at the door to make them feel welcome #sstlap

ConnellySue Sep 8 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1 - Use microphone to interview Ss, ask ?, give them control, start class as they enter - ?, quote, photo on board, check in daily #sstlap

acottos Sep 8 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@CHitch94 exactly why I do it! Knowing their names also is huge! I'm much better this year than last! #sstlap

lorenabaker27 Sep 8 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1- I like to start w a question of the day and sometimes it can be quite funny to serious ones. Using Google Classroom to post #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@acottos Greeting each S was great way for me to work on names - I am really bad w/ names, unfortunately. #sstlap

lesliewind1 Sep 8 @ 9:15 PM EDT

I like S discussion time at end of week. We worked hard, so let's talk about what's going on with you all!" #sstlap https://t.co/rxyBEIGnGd

Mr_Lisek Sep 8 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: Often we go off topic and just discuss what's on the Ss minds. Get them hooked, then lead it into the curriculum. #sstlap

hope to see @Chucktaft @MrBarry628 @MrsJones_Merton in #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2 We all have to take attendance, Is this time meaningful and engaging? #sstlap https://t.co/hWtTpKwtGt

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1 I used to do brain teaser or trivia- often put on board while I was outside of room- awarded pts (no grade) for those get 1st #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Sep 8 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: Honestly? No as I do while they work on something or after the fact. #sstlap

Ryan7Read Sep 8 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: I have my para for that, but I tell my story during attendance of what we created and what we will create. Teaser fun. #sstlap

Mr_Lisek Sep 8 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: With a well established routine, this time can be used for reflection of knowledge or assessing knowledge of upcoming topic. #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Sep 8 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@Braz74 That would fun. Encourage team work too that way. #sstlap

Mumm44120 Sep 8 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2. Ever day asking students to post what being present means to them on board or today's meet for attendance. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1 was a great way to engage their brains- thinking problem solving and a little competition- for some- #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:18 PM EDT

I hope the video questions are coming through - just finishing Q 8 as we speak - #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2) Ss can look at image/political cartoon while attendance is taken. Could work individually, w/ partner, etc. Spark curiosity. #sstlap

acottos Sep 8 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: luckily I'm in a small school (I have at most 21 Ss). I can greet each S and know who is not present! Frees up time! #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 - always tried to do as quickly as possible- didn't want to waste time with that- later added the brain teasers/activities #sstlap

alexstubenbort Sep 8 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Have the courage to redistribute your fears when working alongside kids. #EdtechAfterDark #LHSinnovates #sstlap https://t.co/ozfHcdb2SV

lorenabaker27 Sep 8 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Sometimes to introduce topic. Sometimes to see if they learned fr previous day at times to see what they already know . @ConnellySue #sstlap

WahlWords Sep 8 @ 9:20 PM EDT

We discuss daily so often the first few mins of class are turn&talk to prepare for discussion #sstlap

lorenabaker27 Sep 8 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2- attendance takes me about 30 seconds, so they are usually writing in agenda or answering question of the day. #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2) Can be great time for Ss to reflect on previous day's lesson - what ?s do they have, make predictions, etc. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Q3 How would ss describe first few minutes of class? What is the purpose/ focus of how you begin class? #sstlap https://t.co/Z88f4nn782

tsocko Sep 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@acottos I have a lot more students but do the same. I learn all their names and greet at the door. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Ok -last video question is done and posted-now i can give the convo full attention- sorry for the delay took way longer than thought #sstlap

ConnellySue Sep 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2 - Try to honor Ss with 5 - 8 but times must choose one partner to share. Quick is better. #sstlap

lesliewind1 Sep 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2 survey rm while greeting S, put a dot on paper roster for AB. Update online attendance end of day. #sstlap https://t.co/GSdQoyFqFe

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2 We all have to take attendance, Is this time meaningful and engaging? #sstlap https://t.co/hWtTpKwtGt

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@WahlWords nice- good use of time-- great to have you join Nancy #sstlap

lorenabaker27 Sep 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Great idea on political cartoon. @CHitch94 #sstlap

acottos Sep 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@tsocko my little mind can only handle about 21...my homeroom has 15! That's about right for me! #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3) Hopefully, productive & where stage is set for rest of class - curiosity, reflection, skill building, etc. Can do a lot. #sstlap

STLinOK Sep 8 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Ack! On my way home from Open House. Hoping to get there and catch the end of #sstlap

MrSmall215 Sep 8 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: The objs are qs written on the board that they need to answer, so I'd say they'd be able to tell you #sstlap https://t.co/bPKAgIHNhi

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Q3 How would ss describe first few minutes of class? What is the purpose/ focus of how you begin class? #sstlap https://t.co/Z88f4nn782

Ryan7Read Sep 8 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: Productivity, classroom expectations and creation and passion! #sstlap

cheffernan75 Sep 8 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3 First few minutes set the purpose - it's like the prologue of a book -tease them with something that makes you want to hear more! #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:25 PM EDT

It is video scribe have the free trial for a week - otherwise $12 a month- #sstlap https://t.co/8BRXKpjiSp https://t.co/bhXV2u8kvJ

ConnellySue Sep 8 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Tell what app you are using. My son, friend and I want to use it too. Such fun! https://t.co/aCvjpUBmRM

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@cheffernan75 Yes! A well chosen image, map, short doc, artifact, etc. can really help create excitement & curiosity. #sstlap

Mr_Lisek Sep 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: Ss would say it's a chance to get prepared for learning. Calming from a hectic transition but gets brain thinking. #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Sep 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: Set the tone, connect with kids, bring up current events; make Ss comfortable #sstlap

lorenabaker27 Sep 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3- after few minutes of writing about question of day,Ss discuss their answers. Gives me time to listen to their conversations. #sstlap

acottos Sep 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: Ss may say it's chaotic (switching classes & settling in) but I try to make sure I'm prepared &ready to begin. Set routines. #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A1: Most of the time "Ok gang give me 3 things we did/discusses yesterday" to begin class #sstlap

lorenabaker27 Sep 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3- cont. and chance to talk one-on-one w Ss. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Q3 should b 2 set the stage for the days activity - entice them to jump in with you- unfortunately I didn't always prime the pump #sstlap

Ryan7Read Sep 8 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Have to check out early. Time to get Tyler to bed. Just leaving my @DonorsChoose link. https://t.co/9dv2xVfajM Night everyone. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@Mumm44120 nice- and IMO the activity doesn't have to be content related but engage them in thinking- problem solving- skill based #sstlap

cheffernan75 Sep 8 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@CHitch94 pictures are such a great way to start anything! #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Q4 If how you begin class isn't setting the tone you want, How do you create engagement from the start? #sstlap https://t.co/H4rtvDCwNe

MistaB10 Sep 8 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Not a Lit Trip, but SS, Geog. & Math classes can use this in interesting ways. https://t.co/mknGqNjYhi #AR4Learning #edtech #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 8 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3: The first few min of class have many diff. feelings: Depends on costume/tie choice or if I say something OUTLANDISH off the bat! #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:29 PM EDT

My job as an educator is to help my ss gain the skills necessary for life not fill their heads with factoids- challenge ss to think #sstlap

acottos Sep 8 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4: have to show more passion for the topic! Impr #sstlap

Mumm44120 Sep 8 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4 Ts that empower a s to lead start of learning for day has been very successful. Trying to add student ambassadors in all rooms #sstlap

Mr_Lisek Sep 8 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: Ss can read the tone of the T. Need to be upbeat and show Ss that the topics being discussed it meaningful to the T. #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4) Enthusiasm, mystery, taboo, etc. S evals always said they could tell I loved the subject & tried to make it come alive. #sstlap

ConnellySue Sep 8 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3 This is a great ? I will have to ask them next week! Sometimes they love it. #sstlap

acottos Sep 8 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: have to show more passion for the topic! Improvise. Add a song. A story. Something that draws them in. Make it suspenseful! #sstlap

lorenabaker27 Sep 8 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4- haven't done this but ordering a few costumes from Amazon. Going to get out of my comfort zone. Typical TLAP style. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4 if my students aren't engaged from the moment they enter why would they show up on time, or at all? #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 8 @ 9:32 PM EDT

I can't find Q4....help friends! #sstlap

lesliewind1 Sep 8 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Love this!❤️ #sstlap https://t.co/e1WAypXXrn

MrBarry628 Sep 8 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A1: Most of the time "Ok gang give me 3 things we did/discusses yesterday" to begin class #sstlap

N_Davidson18 Sep 8 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4: A story, a joke or simply being crazy excited about the topic usually gets them engaged #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@MrBarry628 https://t.co/H4rtvDCwNe #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 8 @ 9:33 PM EDT

ConnellySue Sep 8 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4 - Happened today - added intro cards to discuss w/ partner & then share. Changed whole lesson. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:34 PM EDT

I always think of T expectations in staff meetings or PD- what do ss expect of us when they enter our rooms? do we deliver?#sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 8 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: Means I need a new costume, tie, or a better Question on the board to make the kids think I'm crazy #sstlap

acottos Sep 8 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@Mumm44120 stopping videos at critical times is great...having the bell ring right at a cliffhanger moment in a story is a blast! #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@MrBarry628 you have me by a few so i get it-- today was 3 hours getting thes Qs ready - got to play with app but still #sstlap

ConnellySue Sep 8 @ 9:34 PM EDT

ConnellySue Sep 8 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5 - What do you want to be when you grow up? What would you change in history? Who would you want to meet & what would you discuss? #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5 love the open ended- Is America an empire? Will it meet the same fate as all others? #sstlap

classroomtools Sep 8 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5 What thought(s) enter your mind as class begins today? #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 8 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5: I always try to stand next to, behind, or sit with every student during class too. Feel that I am "with them" not "over them" #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5) Think of a lesson/unit you really hate teaching & think about how it could be totally redesigned w/ S choice built in. #sstlap

ConnellySue Sep 8 @ 9:37 PM EDT

classroomtools Sep 8 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@MrBarry628 I can answer that from personal experience - both as a T & a S. Actually, not much different. #sstlap

lesliewind1 Sep 8 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Q6 What is your current questioning strategy? Do you ask open ended Qs? What are the benefits of open ended Qs? #sstlap

mrterborg Sep 8 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@classroomtools Take a nap? #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 8 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A6: Oh man, I ask at least 50 Qs a class period & 115% of them are open-ended that make the Ss go "Huh? hmmm...." #sstlap LOL

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:43 PM EDT

we already shared some open ended questions- but the idea of no right or wrong is vital to build ss confidence to share #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A6) I try to avoid closed questions. Easier since I teach online & can edit my Qs before Ss see/hear. :) #sstlap

acottos Sep 8 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A6: usually start with close ended to get some movement, then into open ended. Ss need that motivation to feel comfortable talking. #sstlap

WahlWords Sep 8 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A6: I ask many open-ended Qs, but I also have Ss create their own HOT Qs. Ss then explore to create an answer. #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 8 @ 9:45 PM EDT

More QOD: Can you imagine the nation going from $4billion economy in slavery to ZERO at the stroke of a pen in 1865? #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:45 PM EDT

wow- love the best worst of history-- also were Am Rev freedom fighters or terrorist? who decides #sstlap https://t.co/IAup4egQ6g

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5) What super power would solve the most global problems? Best/worst decision from history? What is most imp skill for leader? #sstlap

acottos Sep 8 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6: a benefit is that I see how Ss perceive an idea...where does a topic impact their life? How do I connect better to them? #sstlap

lesliewind1 Sep 8 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Absolutely! Ss were amazed "there's no right or wrong" that just sharing what they think is right! #sstlap https://t.co/nEIOO2KjGZ

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:43 PM EDT

we already shared some open ended questions- but the idea of no right or wrong is vital to build ss confidence to share #sstlap

classroomtools Sep 8 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@MrBarry628 No, and it didn't. We had slavery by another name for at least 100 years more. #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 8 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A6: I think one of the best things we can do is ASK Q's whether we preface our Ss with content or not just to gauge where they are #sstlap

mrterborg Sep 8 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@Braz74 I usually post a photo, etc. ask Who, what, why questions (What do you see, etc.) And Let Ss go from there #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@Braz74 Love the freedom fighter vs terrorist distinction. That always comes up with end of imperialism in WH. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:46 PM EDT

agreed - too often we ask Q w/1 right answer they hear- no sorry thanks for trying- #sstlap https://t.co/Oj8UR1TrxU

Q6 I work to teach Ss the type & kind of open ended questions and have them write their own.. #sstlap

jvelNOLA Sep 8 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@Braz74 A6: I usually follow up Ss answers with: "what makes you say that" or "can you explain your thinking?" #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6) And when we model asking open ended and what if ?s, I think it encourages Ss to pose their own ?s. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Q7 When are ss allowed 2 ask Qs? Do their Qs drive instruction? Do we allow ss to find the answers to their Qs? Are ss Qs valued? #sstlap

mrterborg Sep 8 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek I once had a S think I was a math teacher all year. Jus b/c we discussed timezones around @YellowstoneNPS @NatlParkService #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:48 PM EDT

had ss do project for #geniushour-say or do something nice for ppl everyday for a month #sstlap -amazing reflection https://t.co/16CjXNS3Sw

lesliewind1 Sep 8 @ 9:41 PM EDT
A5 increase community by asking thinking Qs "what's the nicest thing you saw someone do for someone else?" #sstlap https://t.co/AaZIIERI1E

  Q5 https://t.co/TXYjBKjtlM suggests asking ss Qs as part of attendance. How can you use this w/ss? What Qs might you ask? #sstlap

STLinOK Sep 8 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Joining super late, but still here! A6: loving the "Chalk & Talk" that I learned from AP. Q or statement & round robin responses #sstlap

MrBarry628 Sep 8 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7: 100% of the class is Ss asking Qs. I tell them that's their job/end of the bargain as a Ss, to inquire. #sstlap

WahlWords Sep 8 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@Braz74 YES to all ..#sstlap

mrterborg Sep 8 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek @YellowstoneNPS @NatlParkService I'm the library media specialist .... #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7) Encourage Ss to identify what they want to learn/know about each lesson - they have to find at least 1 source to answer ?. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@Mr_Lisek nice you are ahead of your time my friend- get on the tardis and go back in time and change your answer... do it NOW! #sstlap

@lorenabaker27 glad you could make it.. thanks for sharing and joining the group again #sstlap

acottos Sep 8 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7: Ss should feel free to ask whenever. Before, during, & after class! Build off the inquiries. Let them guide (if it's on topic)! #sstlap

Mr_Lisek Sep 8 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@mrterborg LOL. Proof that we all wear many hats in our Ss eyes. I had Ss think I was the principal because I lead most assemblies. #sstlap

WahlWords Sep 8 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@CHitch94 This helps Ss realize the power of primary sources..great!#sstlap

N_Davidson18 Sep 8 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7 Ss are always encouraged to ask Qs whenever they have them; discussion can take sharp turns, I don't mind #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@dragonmark_101 @MrBarry628 had my shareasking good Qs -is a skill you develop because if we didn't exp as ss don't know as T #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Q8 What are 3 things you learned tonight that you could use with your students in the next few weeks? #sstlap

mrterborg Sep 8 @ 9:54 PM EDT

One of my 4th grade Ss told me all I did was provide cliffhangers and ask questions #sstlap Last yrs 3rd grade said I made their brains hurt

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:54 PM EDT

yes- have also done 1/2 a pic and ask them what is going on in the image- or zoom way in same question- #sstlap https://t.co/hR9zdJYBxI

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Ugh as always i am struggling to answer the questions I posted as i see great ideas flowing here #sstlap you guys ROCK

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@Braz74 When Nelson Mandela died, very little was said of his Spear of the Nation days. But some comments on news stories did. #sstlap

acottos Sep 8 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A8: allow for reflection; be more engaging to start class; questions are powerful tools to gain knowledge about Ss & interests! #sstlap

classroomtools Sep 8 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@CHitch94 Should come up in USH too. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, etc. were considered terrorists by British. @Braz74 #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:56 PM EDT

wow- only 5 minutes left- the exit ticket just dropped - follow the awesome edus you learned with tonight! #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@Braz74 Good lesson for Ss that someone who is hero to most isn't to everyone and that there are no saints among us. #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@Braz74 Well, aside from those sainted but that's a whole other discussion. ;) #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:56 PM EDT

hope you enjoyed the video questions - my trial ends next week -- so maybe 1 and done #sstlap

mrterborg Sep 8 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@Braz74 Those who win the wars write the history? #sstlap

CHitch94 Sep 8 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@classroomtools @Braz74 Absolutely. Great lines about this in "Wonderful" from musical "Wicked." Man's a thief or philanthropist. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Sep 8 @ 9:58 PM EDT

and that POV is perfect for modern discussion of terrorism- i would give ss historical events like a-bomb #sstlap https://t.co/3R73kRbrwr
