A4: not to brag, but the research unit @msderricochs and I do is all about exemplary people (2/2) #collschat

A4: devils advocate... Dancing with the stars is on my TV right now #why #seriouslyWHY #collschat

whalen - Moderator Mar 21 @ 7:32 PM EDT

A4: does anybody discuss role models with Ss? Curious what they'd say currently. #collschat

cwahlCHS Mar 21 @ 7:32 PM EDT

A4: Celebs are very influential. Teaching Ss about others who have done great things falls on us. #collschat

A5: sorry, had to. #fightclub #tylerdurden #collschat

2ndTandT Mar 21 @ 7:36 PM EDT

A5: I think it is represented in read aloud conversations fairly often #collschat

mr_dfenton Mar 21 @ 7:36 PM EDT

A5: At Collingswood, many of our most celebrated Ss come from lower SESs. But, Ss can be rough on each other about this. #collschat

colls_academic Mar 21 @ 7:36 PM EDT

A5: I think it really depends on the school. We do a really nice job of promoting each other's goodness. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Mar 21 @ 7:38 PM EDT

A5 I think we do an excellent job of celebrating individuals. But schools as whole put too much emphasis on achievement #collschat

kysmith424 Mar 21 @ 7:39 PM EDT

Agreed. I wasn't sure if it was that I don't see it in my office and its more prevalent in classrooms, etc #Collschat

Q6 #Collschat #Unselfie

whalen - Moderator Mar 21 @ 7:42 PM EDT

A6: this chapter admittedly made me feel pretty inferior - getting kids to start global service projects?? #collschat

2ndTandT Mar 21 @ 7:42 PM EDT

A6: My parents were great models in generosity and service and it has stuck with me as an adult #collschat

whalen - Moderator Mar 21 @ 7:44 PM EDT

A6: that said, service/Boy Scouts was huge for me growing up. I need to instill those values like my parents did for me #collschat

MsYucis Mar 21 @ 7:44 PM EDT

A6: I'm a proud AmeriCorps alum & my husband did Peace Corps. Service is fundamental to us & we hope our son follows. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Mar 21 @ 7:44 PM EDT

That's awesome! #collschat

2ndTandT Mar 21 @ 7:44 PM EDT

For each class party this year, my class opted for a service project

mr_dfenton Mar 21 @ 7:44 PM EDT

A6: Service is very important to me. Sometimes it's a pain to find time, but it gets you out of your own head & makes you kinder. #collschat

kysmith424 Mar 21 @ 7:45 PM EDT

A6: My involvement in service is nowhere near the book. I am trying to get my oldest to be mindful - donating unused toys, etc #collschat

colls_academic Mar 21 @ 7:45 PM EDT

A6: Totally agree with @2ndTandT. Always taught to treat everyone the same way. Always find a way to help. #collschat

In reply to @2ndTandT

kysmith424 Mar 21 @ 7:45 PM EDT

A6: But again..it could mean nothing if I don't exhibit the same mentality/actions. #Collschat

Q7 #Collschat #Unselfie

2ndTandT Mar 21 @ 7:49 PM EDT

A7:This is one of my issues with the advancement of technology, face to face communication is crucial and we are really losing it #collschat

whalen - Moderator Mar 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A7 Feel strongly about this one - read recently that only 7% of communication is verbal. Digital communication can't 1/2 #collschat

MsYucis Mar 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A7: when I read this I thought gleefully about the public speaking elective I'm writing this summer & teaching next yr #collschat

whalen - Moderator Mar 21 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A7 2/2 substitute for in person dialogue. (Digital is not bad - just can't be the only form) #collschat

mr_dfenton Mar 21 @ 7:51 PM EDT

A7 I used to have students interview senior citizens about dreams they had as younger people. Great F2F & empathy practice. #collschat

kysmith424 Mar 21 @ 7:51 PM EDT

A7: So many arguments occur thru digital means. I try F2F convos (mutual meetings in my office) to really understand each other #Collschat

cwahlCHS Mar 21 @ 7:51 PM EDT

so important! Even if it is uncomfortable for Ss, they need to do it! #collschat

mr_dfenton Mar 21 @ 7:52 PM EDT

I don't know if I buy into this 100%. Walk into any school lunchroom across America and it is buzzing with conversations. #Collschat

Love this. #collsedu #collschat

colls_academic Mar 21 @ 7:52 PM EDT

A7: I'm in the minority here. I feel so much more connected to people because of tech. However, I value F2F convo more, too. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Mar 21 @ 7:54 PM EDT

Q8 #Collschat #Unselfie

cwahlCHS Mar 21 @ 7:56 PM EDT

A7: I love being digitally connected, but have to make sure I don't get a little anti-social. My Ss are 95% F2F in class. #collschat

colls_academic Mar 21 @ 7:56 PM EDT

A8: It's almost as if there were a Kindness Club...🤔 #collschat

kysmith424 Mar 21 @ 7:56 PM EDT

A8: Parent/S combined involvement in service? #Collschat

MsYucis Mar 21 @ 7:58 PM EDT

A8: Not sure on the specifics, but I know that if anyone can do it, we can. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Mar 21 @ 7:59 PM EDT

Thats a wrap folks. Thank you SO much for taking the time to learn together - lets promote #empathy in our schools and families! #Collschat

mr_dfenton Mar 21 @ 7:59 PM EDT

Is this something new though? Think about "Dear John" letters. People often opt to write when convos are difficult #collschat

In reply to @whalen

kysmith424 Mar 21 @ 8:01 PM EDT

A8: Anyone know of postsecret? An anonymous postsecret board so Ss can see they are not alone or what others are going thru. #collschat

colls_academic Mar 21 @ 8:01 PM EDT

See everyone at @EdCampGS when you present on empathy, right? Thanks Dan and everyone for learning together! #collschat

Always love #collschat - I'm putting together a slightly more relaxed book club soon- for April! Stay tuned :) 😬
