Hiya Christine so happy youre here
-
Hi, I'm Denise, a secondary teacher from
-
We will be using the Q1, A1 format. Please label your responses and use the hashtag
-
Hi Christopher. Looking forward to hearing your elem perspective!
-
-
Bummer, doing dishes π₯ gunna miss
-
Hi Bryn... glad to be back. Kind of missed last week. Looking forward to tonight's discussion.
-
Question 1 almost around the corner
-
Always the archives, Keith! And you can continue the chat over the week!
-
Hi Janet. I am equally happy to be here as well. Love to see how tonight's convo goes.
-
My computer decided to shut down. Here's hoping my Samsung doesn't explode during this chat. π
-
Hi Chris. How's it going in Chillwack? Glad you're here
-
Q1: When you hear Applied Design, Skills and Technologies (ADST), what does this conjure up for you? https://t.co/sVOwt5wtlk
-
Hopefully, you can make it through.....
-
Hello all! High School Science and Social Studies. Looking forward to learning from everyone here tonight
-
Hi Denise. So glad youre here to lend your HomeEc voice
-
Well someone has to do them Keith. I have kids
-
Hello hello!! Happy September everyone! I'm here from
-
Ian - principal/librarian at in BCs Sunny Shuswap!
-
Chilliwack, like most of the lower mainland I suspect, is beautiful. Thanks!
-
A1 I had to look up what ADST was initially, but I immediately think of research and instructional design principles
-
A1. Truth. ADST caught my attention when the Ministerial Order on Student Progress was released. Intriguing proposition.
-
So glad youre here to lend your perspective
-
A1: Strangely, ADST makes me think of a strong ant-acid. And coding. and Design. And fear.
-
Hi Lisa. Woowee! youre here - so happy
-
-
A1 that FINALLY we are considering the technology subject areas NOT as separate, but rather integral
-
A1. When I hear ADST I think trades skills for some reason.
-
Me too! So many acronyms...but intriguing for classrooms....
-
oooh. Can you say more about this connection?
-
Really??? It makes me think... UGH... another acronym. LOL. This is a great opportunity. Technology not needed.
-
A1 I think of innovation, creation/creativity, active learning opportunities & IDEA generation https://t.co/D5nY85waNW
-
-
Q1: When you hear Applied Design, Skills and Technologies (ADST), what does this conjure up for you? https://t.co/sVOwt5wtlk
-
A1:Coding, programming, robotics, tools, tinkering + making. Creative + critical thinking. Innovation. Learning by doing. Failing.
-
exactly. I thought, "shouldn't these skills be embedded in all subjects?"
-
Yeah...that's all you hear about so no wonder.
-
YES! I love how it is set up as integrated/integral to learning and not a subject..>
-
Ok, kids are making their lunches and emptying the dishwasher. I have 5 minutes. Get talking!π
-
A1 Coding, computer graphic design, programming etc.
-
Jennifer Delvecchio here. A1: making, design, info tech, science, engagment, construction and deconstrucion = critical thinking
-
A1: At first I was scared, I was petrified....
-
Would make sense that these concepts are embedded and still can be. Makes prov. endeavours visible & accountable.
-
exactly-- see my tweet with almost the same words!! gmta!!
-
I am very interested to see how other districts/schools/teachers are implementing the ADST curric.
-
A1 Pops to surface...curiosity, wonder, amazement, problem solving. Not coding
-
What struck me was "Designs can be improved with prototyping and testing." We use this in developing interventions.
-
Janie from Prince George. I teach grade 2/3 in francophone school. It's my first so might make mistakes. Know little about ADST.
-
A1: In all honesty, I thought it was the "applied skills" section with A LOT of tech thrown in
-
A1 Gillian yes Authentic active problem solving opportunities for Ss. Ss directed activities.
-
A1: The future and what we can do to make learning current and relevant.
-
Thinking I couldn't live without you by my side? https://t.co/wis0LQva54
-
-
A1: At first I was scared, I was petrified....
-
A1 makes me think that stand alone subjects aren't enough - need overlap & integrated theme-ing!
-
We use a architectural framework, the importance of an iterative process
-
A1. I think of all the cool stuff that has been going on in classes for a while, now with a new acronym
-
Welcome Jen. Always happy to have your take on things
-
Salut Janie! Contente de te "voir" ici :)
-
Anyone wondering where the money will come from to do all the cool things we've just listed in ASDT curriculum?
-
-
I love this! I hope it is just the start of that multi-discipline approach!
-
something something something...I couldn't live without you by my side :) https://t.co/p7mMvgtACv
-
-
A1: At first I was scared, I was petrified....
-
Actually no funny enough. And good for the writers - needs the balance.
-
A1: I think itβs about breaking free from silo subjects. Breaking down walls between school and community.
-
yup, that's basically me singing to my computer/phone/all technology. Ha.
-
-
You and me both! How do you feel now?
-
That happens anyway with other subject areas. No difference... except for Grades 8/9 if secondary.
-
. so true. It's so much more than coding!
-
Also, I love rapid prototyping as an alternate to "try, try again"
-
-
I would highly doubt new money will be allocated to implement ASDT. Lots of potential. No grades tho. Just comments.
-
Welcome Janie. We're very caring & theres never mistakes just learning. What do you think comes to mind?
-
better. Need more tech tho. And, selfishly, a bit confused about implications for gr. 6 teachers not in mid. schl
-
Q2: ADST is organized to (K-5), (6-9), (10-12) https://t.co/Y9dmXI2Yzy. How do you see this continuity in the classroom?
-
"Oh not I, I will survive"
-
As am I! We're hoping to giver teacher workshops on the creation process and how to integrate ASDT into their teaching
-
Hello Tricia from Katy TX I teach 7th grade writing.
-
Q2(B): particularly around the foundations, explorations, specializations.
-
THIS! https://t.co/niztbes05p
-
-
A1. I think of all the cool stuff that has been going on in classes for a while, now with a new acronym
-
A1 I think needing to reach out to guests in the community to introduce different topics I know little about..?
-
Hey Tricia. Great to have you here, tonight!
-
A2. Continuity in the classroom depends on the discussion and collaboration on staff to create & maintain continuity for ASDT.
-
-
Sort of a world invited to your doorstep?
-
Love to hear about those and how they go!
-
A2. Well. Are we still as concerned about continuity in a personalized environment?
-
A2 Depends, I guess on the culture of the school?
-
I'll be sure to blog about! We are hoping to have the first one at the end of November.
-
A2: I like continuity patterns in this new crrclm! Still confused what to do as a 5/6 teacher. (all about me tonight)
-
Providing a makerspace for Ss to build off prior knowledge & design. Integrate ADST into all subjects. https://t.co/J1TqFJWGQ5
-
-
Q2: ADST is organized to (K-5), (6-9), (10-12) https://t.co/Y9dmXI2Yzy. How do you see this continuity in the classroom?
-
A2: Selfishly, I like that it is broken into the K5 level, as I work at and elementary school. Keeps consistency with support.
-
A2: it is developmental computational thinking across grades.This is brilliant b/c cultures of inquiry can B nurtured among Ss&Trs
-
but "more" can still be beneficial - esp thinking strategies (think like a mathematician in poetry!)
-
Ah, the dreaded combined class that crosses different levels.....
-
YES! Recommend surveying families and see what kind of experts you can get (for free)
-
-
A2 use podcasts, imovie, etc. give Ss a choice on how to demo knowledge integrate Ss creation not just using technology
-
It's all good. We'll just have to be really creative somehow.
-
A2: So part of my plan is to use the ADST curric to work with 4/5 and 2/3 students during T prep so collaboration can happen.
-
A2 being a k-8 school, I'm looking forward to getting things dirty during my library/teaching time; coding centers starting soon!
-
A2: Continuity will be a challenge - as it always is! Good communication will be key between all
-
i just went on a twitter rant today about the 2 mill for coding. As my masters focused on. We need qoordinated spending
-
A2: 1/2 Ss experimenting + learning about creative process + how to ask questions + how to think critically to solve problems.
-
-
Hi! Liz from sd43 joining late! Interested to see how this area can fit in with "specialized" compartmentalized HS classes
-
Spoken like a true teacher..."I'll make it work". https://t.co/2jKytnkZGc
-
-
It's all good. We'll just have to be really creative somehow.
-
Thank you for correcting me. ASDT will be graded from Grades 6-9. Comments only for K-5. Provides lots of flexibility
-
A2: in 6/7 learn simple algorithms that reflect computational thinking,visual representations of problems,data &visual programming
-
Hi - checking in a bit late tonight. Victoria, Grade 3/4 from Langley.
-
Hi Liz. Great to have you here, tonight! Great comment on our silos at secondary!
-
A2: 2/2 then finding a specific passion they can develop in depth as they age + maybe transform that passion into a career
-
Love that. Mathematical poetry. Nice one https://t.co/kAxfsqkVwq
-
-
but "more" can still be beneficial - esp thinking strategies (think like a mathematician in poetry!)
-
YES. Coding centres sound great. Will you do coding without the tech first?
-
Reminds me of the mathematicians' lament.....
-
-
Part 2 throwing money at districts for them to execute coding as they wish shows a colossal lack of leadership. JMHO
-
Hey Victoria. Great to see you here, tonight. Hoping to get ideas that I can take back to my school...>
-
Hi Victoria. Happy youre here tonite
-
Don't get me started on MATH and . I would be off topic. Another area for lots of potential.
-
So true. Provide opportunities to roll out genius hour & continue it year after year to elaborate on their topic
-
why one without the other? mixed centers last year and learned lots. Crome to w many others
-
I agree. although, I believe most may not really know what coding is, but still throw the money.
-
A2 Maybe continuity will happen via as it does via . Teachers getting together to create a continuum
-
Sounds good! Let's make it another topic for
-
. and when possible, community members. I love chatting up people in store lineups!
-
A2 Lots of ideas around ideas and moving through testing & prototyping - can be done w/ anything. I see wood in the future
-
I'm interested in tackling this area from a design thinking perspective. Anyone else tonight say anything about that yet?
-
A2: Here is the hard part. Can anyone think of ADST activities w/o thinking coding?
-
A1. Reminded of the effort in in early 90s to introduce Tech curric in elem.After 5 yrs was only one in the school doing it
-
Agreed! Seems like a heavy focus on coding wihin ASDT
-
some of the greatest poets were secret math geniuses! Not so many the other way.....
-
Just wondering if you would do a tech free centre. I like the idea of teaching to...then doing.
-
Fab! It's like a festival of problemsolving and thinking thru elements of design & creation. Gets deeper.
-
I love how we are thinking beyond the traditional terms of technology.....not just an ipad...
-
Tell me more about this "design thinking" in 140 characters or less. Love to know more.
-
Some. Yes. Also, some of the Qs coming up will help in that.
-
-
Not surprised. There are a lot of people are closet math geniuses. This needs to be celebrated.
-
Q3 just around the corner
-
this is the problem with the way ministry is run now. No leadership, no coordinated execution. Part 1
-
-
Reiterative cyclical thinking, empathy with users, redesign of systems to make improvements
-
-
-
-
We hope youβre enjoying the chat tonight! Remember, we chat every Sunday at 7pm PST!
-
Only you would take on challenge of defining DESIGN THINKING in 140 characters or less. https://t.co/3KXMgC3kug
-
-
Reiterative cyclical thinking, empathy with users, redesign of systems to make improvements
-
I also dislike how the media portrays this as the "coding" curriculum. There is so much more to it!
-
politicians throw money at districts and say "HEY! Look what we did for you!!!" part 3
-
Haha!! But I haven't DONE it with students. That's the goal... even if they're little.
-
A3: We do a blue sky project twice a year to drive inquiry and design plus community connection, using https://t.co/vQRDqu4pPm
-
Love that, but can you use language a parent could understand? (I'm slow tonight...)
-
We forget the stuff came after all the innovations & built relationships
-
A3. Good point. I have not considered what parts of my practice reflect ASDT already. Should be like that for as whole.
-
A3 Makerspace is used for Ss to innovate design create whatever they want to demo knowledge https://t.co/lDTj8G2UCM
-
A3 introducing SOLEs (self organized learning environments via ) and - blank slates to scaffold learning
-
A3: Always try to poke at curiosity, students design prototypes b4 they build, makerspace corner (called "tinker table")
-
Simple CAD 3D like programs, infographics.U shld C how K-2s can blueprint w/stickies.Amazing
-
Q3 well, my role is a little different. I am helping integrate ADST in my district/supporting teachers
-
A3: We just did the Marshmallow challenge and now I want to give kids a chance to ideate and prototype with less time limit.
-
How are you doing that? I'm interested.
-
Love to hear how that is going. I am working on supporting my teachers through new curric.
-
A3 In 1st gr math curric development we incorporate the Sci Method. Ask a Q, make a plan, collect data, review data, answer Q
-
Yes very true. Youre doing things that connect 2creativity, imagination, design, test, retest,build. What R they?
-
Love how well it works into scientific method.
-
A3 A growth mindset is reinforced with prob-solv & inquiry- Dyson mini vac deconstruct & explain how like human arm
-
But should they be able to alter the materials?
-
Like that "tinker table" Sort of like an ok place to test stuff out
-
A3. Have been focused on it w/ textiles over the last few years. Design challenges lends itself nicely to the subject area
-
Love the question. Makes me look at my practice with a critical eye in context to ASDT and . I'm not sure.
-
Do you have a specific place in your room designated as maker space?
-
A3 We have integrated design thinking into curriculum.
-
A3: Our district's science workshops are based on inquiry + building prototypes. Last year I gave workshops in coding for k to 9s
-
-
How are you approaching that? Interested!
-
yup, implications of "make" a bit much for some kids. Maybe I'll have a mistake drawer. :-)
-
A3 Eg design a shelter to protect a plant from excessive rain.
-
How have you integrated design thinking into curriculum? Can you give me an example? Interested.
-
A3 giving Ss only materials & having them design entire lab & hypothesis. Inquiry at its best.
-
A2 my brain stopped at school culture. ..how do we spread continuity..from labs, to cafeteria, orchestra, ela?
-
Q4: How might ADST be introduced at Primary? Intermediate? Secondary?
-
OK... You've answered my question before I even tweeted it. You rock TY https://t.co/bDfr8Kalro
-
-
A3 Eg design a shelter to protect a plant from excessive rain.
-
-
A3 Or design an adaptation for an animal to make their life easier.
-
Absolutely, then design is adjusted. As long as they can talk it thru. share thinking
-
A3: Designing T workshops to model ways to teach, letting them discover for themselves, exploring, experimenting, collaborating
-
Or a Prototype drawer that some students can use as a starting point?
-
A3 We did a building a tower challenge as metaphore for talking about collaboration. Same kind of project w/ choice of material?
-
Great question. How do we move learning out of the silos? Is ADST the conduit for this?
-
Cool! Home early from dinner with my dad. I usually miss
-
Parents used playdoh from it at open house to design a model about science for their child. It was awesome.
-
Hi Karen. Welcome. How have you done that?
-
with materials inside? hmmm.
-
OOh love that. did you take a picture of it to showcase?
-
I see it that way. But having a structured process to collaboration I think is critical
-
Think I might have Ss use same materials through the 1st ideating session, then offer the switch in a 2nd session
-
Just gave a few ideas. Others - design a shelter to protect an animal from the sun. They use what they find
-
A at every level. to get kids interested in their passions.
-
Then prottype, explain, take questions, feedback, and try again.
-
Yeah, unfinished projects is what I was thinking.
-
Q4: I'm not 100% positive that grouping the 'levels' is the best way to go. Found'ns/Explor'ns/Special's seem necc at all levels.
-
They're familiar with the challenges they faced on Friday. Give them a chance to improve it, then throw em a twist
-
-
A1. Sorry I'm still stuck on #1. maybe Ken Keiwitz in has materials he developed in 91-93 & links with
-
A4. This is making me think how we could use the LC / skills room and challenge "our" kids to experiment & design. hmm
-
A5. ASDT can be introduced in math or science (or any subject area). Be explicit and describe how it connects to ASDT.
-
A3 What about ? Thinking about doing this since I realized one of my students is learning gymnastics via youtube!
-
Yes. I have a create a rotter project where Ss do make adaptations to help existing creatures more successful.
-
Tonightβs topic was suggested by YOU, ! Please stop by our website to suggest topics for upcoming chats: https://t.co/apNWRbqItJ
-
Yes very important to replay. Like paper airplanes.
-
A3 create wonder wall, mold idea w/playdough, create design cycle, fail, try again, share w/community
-
Great idea! Building on what others do. How can we make this better? Make it different? https://t.co/UqGq97uFeK
-
-
Or a Prototype drawer that some students can use as a starting point?
-
Signing off early tonight, folks. Thanks for the ideas and fun. Have a great week!
-
That would be awesome, Liz.I think the LC/LEC/Res rooms are perfect for integrating ADST within multi-disciplines.
-
Critter not rotter darn auto correct
-
Love that idea. Connecting ASDT with current practice of . Makes sense.
-
Too funny Ray. We gave them all away as consummables back then.
-
A4 I think it is critical to think about how to integrate within existing activities, instead of an add on activity "Scaffolding"
-
-
I like to have pictures to show progression of my room.
-
-
Love Genius hour. Looking to do that with my "prep time" with the 4/5's (but it would be genius 58.3% hour).
-
You are amazing Tricia share your amazing ideas!
-
-
A1. One serious prob in 91-92, tch felt it was 'more' rather than integration of existing. Hope new curric has dispelled notion.
-
I'm wondering if that is more of an organizational thing. It doesnt stop one from entering othr areas. Developmental
-
2 main things-- offering workshops on ASTD type strategy and in-class side-by-side coaching
-
A4: I did a simple Lego activity with new Ts last week to introduce process of identifying a problem, creating a prototype, 1/3
-
-
Me, too, Ray. The issue is how we interpret what Technology is, and what it is not.
-
-
sharing their model. They had to pick 16 legos, then after I asked them to represent an animal. They then shared what blocks 2/3
-
-
It's pretty cool to see what they know, and how thoughtful they are in their design process.
-
Love the idea of side-by-side coaching. Mentoring and paying it forward. Love the integration. Makes sense.
-
-
So getting back to the institutional constraints of what we want to do and what we can do?
-
over the past 12 years I've seem the power of learning into the learners hands via Geniushour -amazing can happen
-
they wished they had, what they would do different next time + what ideas they got from others. Many said they'd try it w/ Ss 3/3
-
Like its harder to do woodwork or HomeEc in elem due 2 equipment
-
-
It is, and you can then turn it around for any content area and works with adults too!
-
Great activity, Carrie! An easy one to try w/ Ss too. And you could switch up the problem each time you revisit.
-
-
Got to give shout out to here too. Great stuff for design thinking!
-
-
equipment and support/knowledge from staff (including a principal who can only put things up crookedly....)
-
-
This is the video that goes with the intro into design thinking pdf I shared. https://t.co/AFUCX5ByyB Doable all ages.
-
A1. Related challenge. Tchr background knowledge informing instructional choices. Some tchr are adventurous, others?
-
Thanks, Karen! I really appreciate how much you share.
-
Yes, the sharing and questioning is key, followed by the redesign or change in next design.
-
That to me is merely a design engineering thing...rebuild prototypes. Love those bird houses
-
Q5: How might ideas around βMaker Spacesβ be included? What skills may be addressed at primary, intermediate, secondary?
-
. that in itself is a good design challenge. How to create a textile/food/wood product w/o equipment!
-
Thanks! It worked well with little material + started some great discussions amongts Ts
-
Ha! I support my teachers to keep trying, but I'm not the handyman (or singer, despite trying at assemblies).
-
Sometimes I wonder if we stuck bunch of food on a table & said go create, wonder what Ss wld do. Reflect
-
A4 in Primary I've had my students design their own valentine holders. Simple yet ...
-
My thing with MakerSpace is that it can't just be all glitter glue and Pringles cans, but it also can't JUST be rewiring rockets
-
i find flying by the seat of yur pants as an instructional strategy eliminates institutional constraints π
-
A5 There are some amazing Makerspace programs in Key is looking at them as a
-
A5 Hands on creations, making connections & finding relevance w/student choice & problem-solving. https://t.co/hHSfENkVSA
-
-
. or support from middle/secondary students
-
HAHA i love this post https://t.co/jWrfT34QWp
-
-
My thing with MakerSpace is that it can't just be all glitter glue and Pringles cans, but it also can't JUST be rewiring rockets
-
Not to mention I think kids would love it!
-
A1. Tchr background knowledge. 'Tinkering' was term in my MA program re temperament to make. Some kids are adventurous, others?
-
A5 Having a maker space in your classroom gives students access to put their thoughts into reality. Prototyping!
-
Love. Love. Love makerspace.
-
Donβt forget to use the hashtag throughout the week to keep the conversation going!
-
Innovation depends on experential learning. We need to give that to tchrs too
-
-
. I do it w/ my students and they love it!
-
Together we are all stronger . I learn from those who share with me.
-
How do teachers structure maker spaces? Or is it just a free for all?
-
I'm gleaning a ton of design and maker resources from tonight's chat - thanks everyone! :)
-
A5 Brain breaks-create a cell or organ & explain structure/function, how does a joint work- build one
-
Newby Q: what stuff goes into a "make space"? & Where does one get this stuff?
-
A5: Makerspaces give space + material for Ss to experiment w/making in all subjects + space to show their learning differently
-
Not so simple. Lots of skills needed to pull that off so that it works Key is to talk at end and thru
-
And this is why I love teachers: Collaboration, learning, sharing! https://t.co/NPoNh4NeBS
-
-
Together we are all stronger . I learn from those who share with me.
-
Creation comes in many forms. Perhaps this is more planning? Custodians will love you to not have glitter
-
A5: Very similar to the need for more unstructured play in a kids life - maker spaces in schools. Freedom to be creative.
-
-
me too-- especially as a means to imagine a 3D solution to a problem
-
I order Dyson kit & Ss take apart vacuum and explain how like human arm-then reassemble. Relevance & prob-solv
-
A5. Looking at ADST ... Maker Spaces would be a great for drafting, robotics, computers, metal work & wood work modules.
-
-
Q6 coming up soon! I love the sharing and am making a huge list for this year for my school. Thank you!
-
Thanks for asking. Hear a lot about them but would need a beginner kit too!
-
Yes 3 modules each. For those dist with K-7 that 6/7 group will need to look at the options. Doable.
-
. Absolutely for the students, but something a teacher could easily do. One small change idea.
-
yes! So important to vary the material + the challenges
-
That is one impressive router
-
I'm about trying to show how it can be done and it doesn't have to be a big overhaul.
-
A5 maker spaces are showing up in more schools - looking forward to introducing later this year (so good for creativity)
-
Part of it is letting go of the "every one of them looks the same" idea behind crafts or art ;)
-
Q6: What types of support do you have/need to help your students with ADST? Who might be included in your resources?
-
Sorry I had to go earlier and now I have to fully sign-off. I will review the archive! Thanks everyone :)
-
Yes. The modules are broad. Robotics, media art, food studies... etc. ADST makes me excited for students.
-
This chat is amazing! Everyone is so creative & innovative
-
A1.Tchr aptitude & skill. See Meyer Briggs scales: Most workshop leaders (me) = intuitives, focus ideas, future adventure
-
OOO that's called replication
-
cardboard can be a very valuable "middle ground" for switches & sparkles in maker spaces!
-
-
This is a good question. For those who are running makerspaces in your room, what supplies do you provide? https://t.co/a8NN13IoCE
-
-
Newby Q: what stuff goes into a "make space"? & Where does one get this stuff?
-
Anything & everything. In Vancouver I went to Urban Source (recycled stuff)
-
A6. Truth. I would LOVE to team teach with one or more teachers on implementing ADST. I would love to collaborate & learn.
-
. in has been doing great things getting his district up and running
-
I'm starting to confuse ADST with from .....Must be after the first week of school.
-
Absolutely! I started questioning why I did certain things. Valentine folders were one of them.
-
"Drafting" Does anyone consider the process of writing in ADST? TY Christine https://t.co/EkdjCxYrTz
-
-
A5. Looking at ADST ... Maker Spaces would be a great for drafting, robotics, computers, metal work & wood work modules.
-
So many ideas my head is spinning! Thanks everyone
-
A5 Wonder if an ''expert'' showing Ss what they make, then let Ss loose to explore. Not everything learned from scratch
-
-
aboLUTEly!! Caine's Arcade is always/will always be my inspiration....
-
Thanks for jumping in there, Dan!
-
A6 An awesome team, librarian, technology specialist, other amazing Ts Collab w/gr8 PLN https://t.co/CwgaAwFkDr

Q6: What types of support do you have/need to help your students with ADST? Who might be included in your resources?
-
And at k to 5, for science, math + language integration! I want to read 3 little pigs w/ K class + have them 1/2
-
Or even just adding a little structure can encourage instead of inhibit creativity
-
Love it. Makes sense to me. I need to learn more about the process of writing. I think that would help me as a learner.
-
Could have incredible tie-ins to unconventional artists - would be a great guest speaker idea!
-
A1.Tchr aptitude & skill. See Meyer Briggs scales: But most teachers= Realists, focus growth in a few areas until achieved first
-
design 'wolf proof" houses w/ a variety of material! Will test with a hair dryer. 2/2
-
Figured out our 6/7 can do DigiLit, Comp Lit, Food studies yr 1/next yr the others
-

-
I have an in class makerspace. I am mindful to collect cardboard, containers etc. We eagerly accept donations too.
-
I love our chat. I learn every week about some amazing topics. Pushes me out of comfort zone, in a good way.
-
Nice. Will the 3 modules of ADST be offered like an elective in block rotation? Curious.
-
A6 need more visitors, people who can tell stories, explain processes and how they apply to our world right now.
-
I agree. Being uncomfortable sparks learning & a growth mindset
-
Yes. I think a lot of "Basic Skills" that students are asked to learn can an should be a part of ADST
-
-
I put out all my one off craft supplies, glue gun, etc. I'll have led lights and batteries etc.
-
What's a "Wolf Proof"? Would love to learn more.
-
A1.Tchr aptitude & skill. Will Design etc. survive the focus on 'I can only can handle so much' & Is this my priority?
-
I'm curious about that, too. Will it be about courses, or integrated? Left to Drafting/Design teacher?
-
Rotated but directly connected 2 the othr currics in the same grade. Perfect seamless fit
-
A6: I am supporting Ts, so workshops, mentorship, having a few key Ts who can be ressources to others, building our prof. library
-
We need to treat ourselves as learners. Best to learn with others.
-
If a child knows what they need I try to get it for them if I can. I love seeing them use the glue gun independently.
-
Donβt forget to follow the people you have met here - you will find they are the resource.
-
Love this. Get more stories/people into the classroom learning spaces. https://t.co/V0ePKbGiXS

So that the big bad wolf can't blow them down.

We've created ADST curric in a KDU Planner for ppl to use (incl all popups & space 4 your questn https://t.co/DO28GP7qTB
-
A makerspace is amazing. Sometimes I hide stapler, glue, tape make them think outside the box. Make a tower no glue
-
Sorry... just put the 2 tweets together. Makes sense. A great way to problem solve with story. ADST as well.
-
A1.Tchr aptitude & skill. Will Design etc. survive attn to other priorities of Tchrs? I believe that killed it last time.
-
You guys do amazing work and share. share. share....thank you.

-
6/7 unless they're in middle school will have themselves & othrs they invite. How about retired folks?
-
-
This also gets kids thinking more deeply about purpose and role of their tools.
-
Problem solving is great!
