    In reply to @DayCatherineM

    In reply to @90secondnewbery
  • 90secondnewbery Jul 4 @ 6:40 PM EDT
    A3: When I wrote book reports, most imp part was drawn cover. When I created original radio shows, the entire project had meaning #tededchat
  • DRossiter87 Jul 4 @ 6:40 PM EDT
    120% Agree with this. I've come to challenge my own thoughts once I had put them down on paper "Eh, that's not right is it?" #TEDEdChat
    In reply to @MannesMurray, @gcouros
  • MannesMurray Jul 4 @ 6:41 PM EDT
    Have you had students create a blog or something digital now that you're managing your own? #TedEdChat (or will you?)
    In reply to @DRossiter87, @Sprout4Ideas
  • Sprout4Ideas Jul 4 @ 6:41 PM EDT

  • fight4theyouth Jul 4 @ 6:43 PM EDT
    A3: Peer-editing can be transformative, in that reading others' stories fosters empathy. They become invested in others' truths. #TEDEdChat
    In reply to @TED_ED
