mrsschmidtsci Apr 20 @ 8:15 PM EDT

EricaGutesha Apr 20 @ 8:16 PM EDT

#d303chat A:2 part 2....embracing their passions or likes, a little bit of silly and a bunch of EXCITEMENT!

Mrs_VDS Apr 20 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@Misner_PEteach As an introvert, this is something I have to actively work on, but I know it makes a big difference #d303chat

KMazurSTCE Apr 20 @ 8:16 PM EDT

#d303chatquestion #d303chat Q2: part 2 How do you know if something is just 'fun' or having fun learning?

zenmasterbill Apr 20 @ 8:18 PM EDT

jiwanski Apr 20 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Kids naturally connect to tech. To support engagement, you use it with all these strategies…relationships, feedback, ?s, etc. #d303chat

MrsMTechLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2 Pt2: listen to what they're saying - if they're learning while having fun, you'll hear it in their interactions #d303chat

pottsmichel Apr 20 @ 8:19 PM EDT

#d303chat I have been using edpuzzle. The kids love it! They are able to watch and review.

Mrs_VDS Apr 20 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@zenmasterbill I try to keep my interest genuine - I think they could easily tell if I was faking it #d303chat

Mrs_VDS Apr 20 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@zenmasterbill I wonder the same - and worry about all the movement WITH the Chromebooks #footballhold #d303chat

mrsschmidtsci Apr 20 @ 8:26 PM EDT

You could set up stations that a group@could move to W/ 1 chrome book for group response #d303chat

jiwanski Apr 20 @ 8:26 PM EDT
