    In reply to @mrshowell24
  • MusingsOnEdTech Mar 5 @ 8:06 PM EST
    A1 - research is at the heart of all knowledge. Being inquisitive is step A. But step B through Z is knowing how to move from the "I wonder..." to actually testing and analyzing data. And learning how to do that is essentially learning how to learn. :) #edtechchat
  • s_bearden - Moderator Mar 5 @ 8:06 PM EST
    Hi Stephanie! #edtechchat
    In reply to @mrshowell24
  • ckoos1 Mar 5 @ 8:06 PM EST
    A1: We need students especially when they are online to be able to discern quality resources from less credible. #edtechchat
  • heyheyman Mar 5 @ 8:06 PM EST
    And researching with multimedia too - determining if videos, photos, animations, etc. are high quality and worthy of use in project. #EdTechChat
    In reply to @MattHarrisEdD
  • LynleaTeaches Mar 5 @ 8:06 PM EST
    A1: research teaches life skills of questioning, seeking answers/resources, discerning “real” from “fake” and a 💙 of learning as it typically increases Ss buy-in and builds on Ss interest #edtechchat

    A1: Our Ss grew up with technology and information at their fingertips - they don't know what it's like to find information in the library stacks, but they also don't realize that not everything on the internet is true! #edtechchat
  • T_HEB Mar 5 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1 The reason we see great distances ... asking questions, looking for answers, citing sources, analyzing information, communicating findings, and listening to feedback are very important skills to develop. #edtechchat #edchat

    Everything we could ever want to known can be looked up online - it takes skills to reach the info we want though. These skills are more important than memorization! #EdTechChat
    In reply to @mallory_newco, @techie_teach
  • raspberryberet3 Mar 5 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1: Ss need to learn how to find, analyze, evaluate information - even the most credible information leads to more Qs - Ss need to learn how to practice these skills. #edtechchat
  • aimeebates123 Mar 5 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1 Teaching research in the classroom is important because we can encourage our students to analyse and interpret well needed knowledge #edtechchat

    We should always be teaching our students to be problem solvers - researching information and presenting it is an important part of solving big problems. #EdTechChat
  • mallory_newco Mar 5 @ 8:08 PM EST
    Exactly! By letting students take charge of their own learning and pursue interests, students will be more invested in their education #edtechchat

  • nathan_stevens - Moderator Mar 5 @ 8:08 PM EST

    A1) Students need to know the skills in to how to search and find needed information... not just go to Google or ask Alexa #EdTechChat

    A1: Research drives a lot of what we do- lots of #flippedclassroom going on, so reasearch skills are vital! #edtechchat
  • techie_teach Mar 5 @ 8:09 PM EST

    In reply to @donyaligon
  • T_HEB Mar 5 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A major focus before our large research project is validating web sites and information. I like to use a "finding food in the back of the fridge" analogy. #edtechchat #digcit #diglit

    A5 then there is a 12-year-old somewhere in Arkansas running a blog and you have to teach your students why that is not a credible source. #edtechchat

    Our social media circles allow us to connect and hang, but we hang with us, and not others. Look through #edtechchat profiles we have the same diversity problem as rest of society. We need to be intentional in drawing inclusive circles

    The Literacy Research Association Conference (and its in Palm Springs) I don't hit tech conferences as much. Too much Kool-Aid and not enough Tom Wolfe. #edtechchat
  • T_HEB Mar 5 @ 8:52 PM EST
    Dovetailing on parts of the #edtechchat is the fact that we need to allow for difficult conversations to happen in school. Classrooms should not be echo chambers either. Ss should practice researching, sharing opinions, debating, & respecting multiple viewpoints. #FutureReady
