A2 We need to create inquisitive learners in this world of instant info. We need Ss to synthesize ideas from the info #TXed

jayleeson Aug 31 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@RepMattKrause, with do respect, budro. Not sure if the ET #txed voucher piece was more literarily or strategically incoherent

bsammer Aug 31 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2 Kids are surrounded by technology that lets them create whatever they want. It only makes sense to let it collide w/ learning. #TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Aug 31 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2: Ss spend most of time out of school working in a creative environment through gaming, art, imaginary play. Pull from experience #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Aug 31 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2-We work with students on a variety of levels. Trying to fit them in the same box will not be helpful. We must be creative #TXed

eduk8r_Jared Aug 31 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Curious to see what people think for Q2. Seems like for every reason stated for Q1 would apply. We need engaged students who can think #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Aug 31 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2 students should be taught how to think, not what to think or recite back to us. creativity allows deep processing of info #txed

MrsMurrayAg07 Aug 31 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2: continuing A1, it gives students ownership. Content retention is much higher when learning is in their hands #txed

SethJRutledge Aug 31 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A2: The problems of tomorrow don't have solutions...yet. Only through creativity can our kids solve them. We have to give them tools. #txed

A3 Creativity looks like engagement, differentiated products, student-driven, unique, not all products look uniform. #txed

A3: it can look an infinite number of ways, but it comes from having choice and freedom. #txed

A3: one student's work looking different than another's, but still obtaining the same info. Not a worksheet with the same answers.#txed

@misterabrams @JaimeDonally We bought tubs and drilled some holes For lock. Then went to local store and got xtra keys that were bad. #txed

A5 roadblocks are time, students used to doing exactly what they think the teacher wants #txed

AdamBrownEDU Aug 31 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A5. As a P, I get caught in the product. Have to trust the process of learning and allow creativity to be the driving force #txed

misterabrams Aug 31 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A5 "That is the way we have always done it" #txed How do we stop it? Try flipping the issue to see it differently

Supt_Jordan Aug 31 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A5: The fear of failure. If we focus more on process and less on product we could help students feel more confident. #TXed

If we embrace "this is the way we've always done it" we'd still be dialing up into the Internet and walking to tv to change channel. #TXed

@PrincipalOgg it's time for the states expectations to change. It's obvious their vision isn't working for kids!! #txed
