A3 Judge plans through the eyes of a student. "Would this engage me?" If it wouldn't engage you, probably won't engage them. #ecechat

Ss are less bored and more willing to be engaged in the lesson #ecechat

kimbuenger1 Nov 15 @ 10:04 PM EST

A4: Ss should connect to info, but be challenged to think about it as well. #ecechat

capoyer Nov 15 @ 10:04 PM EST

A4 when meaningful, students make connections that help the info stick. Challenging work helps the brain grow #ECEchat

VealHeidi - Moderator Nov 15 @ 10:05 PM EST

A4:Designing work w/ learners in mind, puts them at the center of the learning. It's about the STUDENTS, not the teacher. #ECEchat

jazzmeister2013 Nov 15 @ 10:05 PM EST

A4- Meaningful and challenging lessons are where learning happens. #ecechat

teacherLG Nov 15 @ 10:05 PM EST

If Ss are bored, or can't find meaning, they won't be engaged and will most likely be disruptive #ecechat

ksantarelli1 Nov 15 @ 10:05 PM EST

A4: Our Ss need to think for themselves and be challenged we learn best from failure #ecechat #growthmindset
