    A7: Learning and finding solutions becomes stronger when Ss see how it connects to the real world. If they see it as a stand alone, there isn't the same drive. When it connects to the real world especially close to them, Ss have a vested interest in helping to solve it. #tlap

    A6: I think it comes with practice and with a culture that fosters risk taking. I give ss #Steam challenge every once in awhile. Ss don’t look up. If we frame our classes so we aren’t the giver and keeper of all knowledge, ss start to rely on each other and not the tt. #TLAP

  • lsmellott Jan 28 @ 9:52 PM EST
    A7: Again, it’s putting their learning into action. It answers why they have to learn the subject material. Ss need to build connections between what they learn and how they can use it outside of school. #TLAP
  • Greg_Moffitt Jan 28 @ 9:52 PM EST
