@eringobragh29 Well, I didn't really introduce it formally. Just sketched out the idea of a thesis for them to visualize the idea. #edchatme

Sean_Malone Feb 29 @ 9:18 PM EST

A6 The barrier can be student engagement, the way around this is to give them a voice and collaborative stake #EdChatME

eringobragh29 Feb 29 @ 9:19 PM EST

A6: Usually grumpy naysayers. I can talk myself in circles, so I can usually find a way to help them see the positives. #EdChatME

a6: It's the whole forgiveness vs. permission thing. I think, "Is this the right thing for my students? Then I'm doing it." #edchatme

mracarmichael Feb 29 @ 9:22 PM EST

A6.) Gah, generally unmotivated Ss are HUGE barriers. But, continuing to build connections and engaging lessons is all I can do. #edchatme
