-
5A YES! YES! YES! Ts need to feel safe/supported to be confident enough to innovate. If they can't fail, they won't take the risk
-
Ok, I have to call it a night. Talk to everyone later. night.
-
-
A5 If a student's whole day is being told how to think and what to do, we've crippled their chance to innovate.
-
-
A5: days to be innovative rather than kids only experiencing "do it this way activities, outcome expected" helps grow world hope

-
You should be in our again Oct. 19... book study
-
A5: learning is part of the innovation process: modeling learning thru design "how might we?"
-
also helps when making is a philosophy and a norm and not a lab we visit!

when you hear so much + about this style why not used more- break down initiatives into choices to fit ppl

-
, , - and what about within content, they can come up with their own ways of learning
-
-
what question are we answering at the moment? I'm lost in the side questions

A7 Everyone contributes a verse to this world. What will your verse be?
-
A7 If I had the answer to that I would probably start a successful blog and share with the world...
-
A7: GREAT question! For 5th graders, it will take modeling and practice. Although, I believe it is possible.
-
what unit? I had ss do voice recording- were colonists justified in rebelling against british?
-
-
A7: Student Voice & Choice. They are expert learners, ask them what & how-they will surprise you. Let them lead their learning.
-
A7: More video creation that allows students to address questions they have.
-
A7: Instead of the 'parking lot' for Qs, go off on the tangent to infuse mini-inquiry cycles. Right, ;-)
-
-
A7 You start out with a question. How am I going to change today?
-
Or civilizations-which ancient civ would you most like to travel back in time to or live and why?
-
1 sheet of const. paper, scissors, glue stick, 20 min. Longest chain wins. Taught Engineering Design Process. Fun!!!
-
or build your own civilization
-
A7 I would get out of the way. Many of our Ss have great ideas and should be allowed to explore them.
-
A7: Instead of focusing on teaching the content, how about we challenge ourselves to teach skills to Ss to ask excelelnt questions?
-
-
Yes. Love -- even in math class. Circles is relevant every day!
