A1: A way that teachers can steer away from rote memorization is to continuously go over the desired topics and ask essential questions, making sure that the students understand the topic and are not just blurting out information. #TEDEdChat
A1: A way to shift from teaching rote memorization to teaching students to think for themselves is to continue to review the concepts they are teaching with the students and asking deeper meaning questions to ensure their understanding of the topic. #TEDEdChat
A1: #TEDEdChat Create opportunities that allow students to think, discuss, and explain their thinking to each other. Don’t spoon feed them information, let them dive in deeper.
#TEDEdChat
A1: One way to shift from teaching rote memorization to thinking for themselves is involve them in activities about the bigger concepts and intellectually dive deeper into the subject instead of just focusing on surface facts and numbers to memorize.
A1:Stop thinking of discrete subjects in school as topics/info to be "covered". Stop thinking students are "not ready for that". (I think it's the adults who are not ready, by the way, because it creates a good deal of discomfort and unpredictability!) #TEDEdChat#goodquestion
Forgot #TEDEdChat Hey A1: Allowing trial and error and focus on noticing plus A1: The objective of learning should be on the application of knowledge through skill building instead of memorization of terminology and definitions.
A1. Teachers and those involved in education should encourage students to think critically by asking them deep questions and challenging them to think beyond what they think they can. #TEDEdChat
@JeffreyASee Every time a student asks a question that requires a one word answer, ask them to think more about their question in a way that could require a more elaborate answer. #TEDEdchat
Q2 In what ways have you used the 4 C’s with your students? Do you recall ways in which the 4 C's were brought into your childhood classrooms? #TEDEdChat
Instead of giving answers to students right away, ask questions to students such as why do you think will happen, what do you think will happen, how etc to force them to think rather than relying on others #TEDEdChat

A1 Just today, having students work in small groups on a self-paced lesson in @nearpod about symbolism in "The Giver." They have to read, think, analyze, and create symbols together. #TEDEdChat
A2: The 4C's were used in my childhood classrooms through having us work with each other through online sites such as google docs to collaborate and create as a group. I also remember teachers having us work in groups to analyze books we were reading. #TEDEdChat
Group discussions through collaboration and communication, why characters have faced certain situations through film discussions, how to improve certain systems #TEDEdChat
A2 When reading class novel Ss use #googleslides to create chapter summary visuals all created on one slide as warmup and review. So exciting to watch it development #TEDEdChat
A2. I have really worked to empower students to work together to share answers and support each other in learning. Risks and mistakes are much less scary with an audience of 1 or 2. #TEDEdChat
A2: A way that the 4Cs have been used in my childhood classroom was the teachers would have us work on group projects, groups that she picked out, and would give us a topic with very few guidelines, and allowed us to use our creativity to deliver the project. #TEDEdChat
A2 I remember a few group projects in high school (mostly AP US history) where the 4 Cs were there but not highlighted. It was college before they really came into play. #TEDEdChat
A2: My students just finished an activity using a Google doc to collaborate on building a resource for #FRIMM verb conjugation. Completed 5 pages of writing (more than one student could have completed on their own). This also led to a discussion of how @Wikipedia works.#TEDEdChat
Q2 In what ways have you used the 4 C’s with your students? Do you recall ways in which the 4 C's were brought into your childhood classrooms? #TEDEdChat
A2: GAMES: have stu create them. PROJECTS: have stu create them. Literally, have stu design them! Also READ @DanielPink Whole New Mind for LOTS of ideas! Most memorable things in school for me: projects. Any time I had to translate what I knew into something new. #TEDEdChat

A2: In elementary, I was part of a program where the 4c's were an everyday goal! One event I remember was going to a contest where we had to team up and were given problems; we had to communicate how we would solve the problem in creative ways
#cardboardchallenge! Every year the students would use project based learning to design arcade games out of cardboard and then invite the school to come play in our grand arcade. This involves multiple classes working together is a big event at our school every year. #TEDEdChat
Understand student's concerns fully, ask students feedback on how can it be improved as educators, planning on areas that need to be improved the most to prioritize well #TEDEdChat
A3 @Edpuzzle and @Newsela allow students to have more autonomy in their learning. I want to work on allowing students to have more choice in HOW they choose to learn the information. #TEDEdChat
A3 Keep the lesson in mind but allow for teachable moments. We never know what students don't know and how that might affect learning. And where it might take the lesson. #TEDEdChat
A1: student voice is key. The teacher should provide the tools but let the students be the builders. More discovery learning and understanding that it’s ok to “fail” as long as it’s used as a learning experience for the future and something to build off of. #TEDEdChat
#TEDEdChat
A3: I believe we could do this by allowing the students to control discussions and let them flow organically. Teachers should be there to guide the conversation but not control it, letting students have more of the control
A2 josh from perth - a long term project involving #designthinking#STEMlearning and real world problems. It was interesting to watch the Ss work their way through the various challenges they encountered using the #4Cs. #TEDEdChat
In a class I took the instructor said that teachers don’t even realize how much class time we spend talking, sometimes it can be half the class. I try to be more aware of this now and limit my talk time.
A4 A necessary component of creativity is to be willing to accept the fact that there are multiple ways to view anything. Sometimes absurdity and ridiculousness needs to be nurtured. #TEDEdChat
A4 Some creativity is possible in a teacher centered classroom, but the best kind of creative learning happens when students are given the freedom to try (and fail) on their own. (With teacher guidance as per grade, age, and ability.) #TEDEdChat
#TEDEdChat
A4: I believe this could be done by thinking of creativity as a skill that needs to be practiced and used regularly. Also, use emotional connections; research suggests that the best creativity instruction ties in the emotions of the learner
A4: We can foster creativity in the classroom by ensuring that students feel comfortable enough to express their own creativity in addition to making sure we allow time in the classroom to allow students to be creative. #TEDEdChat
A4: In order to foster creativity in the classroom, we must allow the students to complete projects and other assignments using their own imagination. Allowing for little guidelines and allowing the students to use their creativity to complete the project #TEDEdChat
A3: will make it apart of the lesson to talk to the students and have the students answer questions that are based on what they think about certain topics. #TEDEdChat
