A1 - I've seen spaces like outdoor classrooms lend to out of the box thinking from Ss and Ts and a different kind of learning. #moedchat

and I like to have Ss move around with different activities. Sometimes a lot of table moving too + backpacks. #moedchat

#moedchat A2) Yes. The environment helps learning as does the pedagogy, but great teachers adapt. They are 1member of the room's culture.

A2 What are your students doing? Worksheets? Or are they creating something original? I haven't seen desks support creation. #moedchat

ELAElfLord Nov 10 @ 10:19 PM EST

#moedchat A2: it isn't the best but when it is the only option we have to. It forces Ts 2 b creative elsewhere like getting out of the room
