Q1 live: How can you add critical thinking components to a lesson? Provide your own classroom examples if possible! #cgi3

ganth99 Nov 30 @ 8:36 PM EST

A1: Great article on topic- Reading Strategies To Promote Critical Thinking in the Elementary Classroom https://t.co/Q9SGXQWxk6 #cgi3

CGCoach82 Nov 30 @ 8:37 PM EST

A1: Simulations and having Ss visualize they are in the same moment as others in social studies was my favorite (esp w/Black Plague) #cgi3

SamuelFritz Nov 30 @ 8:37 PM EST

A1: I deal in the abstract "it sounds good" I keep asking what skills did we execute with mastery to achieve "good" #musiced #cgi3

hoosiertay Nov 30 @ 8:38 PM EST

A1: Ask your students to relate the concept to their lives. Then have them create an explanation depicting the relationship. #cgi3

lacoopj - Moderator Nov 30 @ 8:40 PM EST

A1: Allow Ss to learn from each other and share/publish work. They think more critically when their learning is public. #cgi3

hasman11 Nov 30 @ 8:40 PM EST

#cgi3 constantly giving real world examples of where & how they use what we learn. Pointing out math in science etc...

In reply to @centergrovetech

MGStudio18 Nov 30 @ 8:41 PM EST

A1: In my room, we're working on explaining our answer to questions in all subjects. Yes/No aren't enough. Use Blooms, DOK, HOT Qs. #cgi3

MGStudio18 Nov 30 @ 8:45 PM EST

I'm multitasking! I really hope this is going to be a good game. #cgi3

In reply to @MrJohnson1132

lacoopj - Moderator Nov 30 @ 8:46 PM EST

A2: Our team started a book study today (#LaunchBook) about creativity. PBL & genius hour are two ways to inspire Ss to create/share. #cgi3

ganth99 Nov 30 @ 8:46 PM EST

A2: Inspire creativity- Provide choice, use a variety of tools and resources, & group standards for PBL opportunities. #cgi3

CGCoach82 Nov 30 @ 8:47 PM EST

A2: Asking questions that don't have answers & pushing Ss beyond finding answers they think teacher wants! Need Ss creating solutions #cgi3

lacoopj - Moderator Nov 30 @ 8:47 PM EST

A2: Posing a question for Q2: "Would you rather have a disengaged trained test-taker or a fully engaged creative thinker?" #LaunchBook #cgi3

MGStudio18 Nov 30 @ 8:48 PM EST

A2: Incorporate Ss interests, provide choice, use a variety of tools. Always look for new ideas/strategies to improve my teaching #cgi3

A3: So many great tech communication tools for Ts, but for Ss... allow them to present their ideas (even blog) and get real feedback. #cgi3

MGStudio18 Nov 30 @ 8:59 PM EST

A3: Tech tool Classkick provides Ss with immediate feedback, Ss can "raise their hand to ask for help, and draw/write/record answers #cgi3

In reply to @ehresman79

ganth99 Nov 30 @ 9:16 PM EST

A5: Responsibility, ownership, & problem solving- This is life. #cgi3

MGStudio18 Nov 30 @ 9:18 PM EST

A5: Problem solving, persistence, growth mindset, empathy. #cgi3
