    A1 curiosity is what causes people to invent and create - it can't stop at 18 years old #mesqchat #jayrpride
  • coffelt_jamie Mar 23 @ 9:07 PM EDT
    Without curiosity our students are not learning. #mesqchat
  • dendally50 Mar 23 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    #mesqchat #ctc I assoc curiosity with a love of learning - wanting to know...everything! We want students to be lifelong learners.
  • court030715 Mar 23 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1 that's what keeps students engaged and wanting to learn more #mesqchat
  • mpriceedtech Mar 23 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1- curiosity is an engine that will drive the Ss to engage and own their learning. Do what I tell you to does not take Ss far. #mesqchat
  • kimballreaders Mar 23 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: st who are curious are creative problem solvers. We need these type of people in our world! #kimballES #mesqchat

    A1 Curiosity primes the pump for learning. #mesqchat
  • Mrs_Fuselier Mar 23 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: It's important to spark interest. A lot of curriculum is forced and students don't get to "wonder" and be creative #mesqchat
  • mnicholsedu Mar 23 @ 9:08 PM EDT

    A1: curiosity fuels learning. Students learn so much more if they are interested in what they are learning and the answers #mesqchat
  • MsBrowning3 Mar 23 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    Students have to want to know more to be engaged. We wanted to have them on the edge of their seats waiting for what's next #mesqchat
  • HammettJennifer Mar 23 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Curiosity is what fuels the desire to learn. If we take it away, we have halted learning or at least taken away the joy. #mesqchat
  • dgoossenEdu Mar 23 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    I spent an hour researching this because I was couros about it. That's what it does. #mesqchat

    A1 Being curious about something u will take charge to learn it & in that learning u discover more than u would think #mesqchat
  • tpreuninger Mar 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1 You have to leave kids wanting more. Ts are the fuel to facilitate and make learning happen. #mesqchat
  • KBrandtedu Mar 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    can't they be simultaneous? or a cycle that keeps going? #mesqchat
    In reply to @mnicholsedu
  • sknighttech Mar 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    I think we need to back off on the rush through education & allow Ss time to wonder & go off on tangents in learning #mesqchat

    All students should have a say in their learning and it starts with their questions and them investigating to find answers #mesqchat
  • bcookie99 Mar 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: Stifling Ss ability to ask Qs (perhaps b/c of time constraints, pacing, etc). Eventually they stop asking. Simply allow it. #mesqchat

    I am curious about doing mindset book study on our campus. It can change a school but unsure how we get it started. #gallowaylife #mesqchat

    Pretend like on all of my tweets that it says A1, A2, etc instead of Q1 😬 just realized I did it wrong. New to chatting #mesqchat

    Set up a device that is on the live cam & let students know they can come check on the animals when they get a book! #mesqchat

    A4: we let the students create the questions and the topic of the discoveries rather than assigning one. Empower them to direct! #mesqchat

    A1: curiosity leads to lifelong learning and not learning to pass a test or grade. We must think bigger for our kids. #mesqchat

    so true! And it's so much more fun to teach that way! Testing is annoying 😜but necessary to some extent #mesqchat
