A1: Tech should be relatively contained til it's used, can often be messy, goes w numerous other tools, and should be portable! #MTedchat

StantonShelly Apr 18 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: On the go, messy learning, many tools, liquid, energy required! #MTedchat @AnnBruckerTIS

cristama - Moderator Apr 18 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: Ha!! The obvious is the coffee... Caffeine to keep my pace. Messy. Clean as I go. A little gloss to appear 'put together' ;) #mtedchat

MissSmithPBES Apr 18 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1: It is wonderful and fantastic, but sometimes it can get a little messy! Doesn't mean it isn't worth it. ;) #mtedchat

Q2: route : destination :: curriculum : standard Discuss! #MTedchat

StantonShelly Apr 18 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2: Standard is the target. The curriculum is engaging, creative ways to get there. #MTedchat

AnnBruckerTIS Apr 18 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2 Curric is not just what's contained in T manuals any more than routes are just what are included on maps. We are explorers! #MTedchat

WHERRRRE ARRRRRE YOUUUUU @AmandaRapstad ??? #MTedchat

In reply to @NVradenburg, @AmandaRapstad, @AmandaRapstad

cristama - Moderator Apr 18 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2: The route you take leads you to the destination. Can off-road with purpose. Curriculum is the same to achieve standard. Risk. #mtedchat

AnnBruckerTIS Apr 18 @ 10:16 PM EDT

"Off-road with purpose!" Someone needs to turn that into a poster!! #MTedchat

A2: The route you take leads you to the destination. Can off-road with purpose. Curriculum is the same to achieve standard. Risk. #mtedchat

A2.2 The standards are where you're headed, but the curriculum is what will get you there. #MTedchat

St006C Apr 18 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2) Lombard Street is to SanFrancisco as Investigations is to composing and decomposing numbers #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Apr 18 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2 There are many routes and means of transport to get you there, just as there are all types of curricula to meet standards #MTedchat

And sometimes I'll go G, F, E, and meet you in D! #MTedchat

bookwormmarla Apr 18 @ 10:19 PM EDT

Route and curric are the means and have signposts along the way; destination and standards are the ends or goals. #mtedchat

I would go all the way to Z! #mtedchat

In reply to @AnnBruckerTIS

mrstbauerly Apr 18 @ 10:19 PM EDT

The path and tool you use to reach your destination is flexible. Different types of curr. W/ diff tools to get to standards #mtedchat

iCoachLindsay Apr 18 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2: I think everything we do should be driven by a learning target however, not everyone's path to that target will look the same #MTedchat

AnnBruckerTIS Apr 18 @ 10:15 PM EDT

Q2: route : destination :: curriculum : standard Discuss! #MTedchat

AmandaRapstad Apr 18 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2: I ❤️ this. There's a huge misunderstanding that curriculum is a program. This makes it very clear that it's your guide/path #MTedchat

AcemtAndrea Apr 18 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A2 knowing how to reach standards & create meaningful learning depends on teacher knowledge and expertise to engage all students! #MTedchat

StantonShelly Apr 18 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A2.2: the route also depends on the car we have (skills and personality) #MTedchat

A4 culture/change...the principal is such a key aspect in choosing how, why, and craftily delivering... #MTedchat

NVradenburg - Moderator Apr 18 @ 10:37 PM EDT

Well said and absolutely true! #MTedchat

AnnBruckerTIS Apr 18 @ 10:36 PM EDT

A4 secretary. Both work together to hold the place together, but one has "teeth" while the other scoops up the mess ;-) #MTedchat

TraciPiltz Apr 18 @ 10:38 PM EDT

A4: Teachers & other school staff. Everyone has to work together so Ss can eat up what we are teaching! #mtedchat

A4: fork : spoon :: principal : staff (I think of them as partnerships. Both have roles, but most efficient when work together) #mtedchat

A4) (1/2)Fork is to spoon as principal is to T. Ts like broth in veggie soup. Ss r veggies. You need both utensils 2 eat soup #MTedchat

A4 I need a spoon for ice cream and a fork for everything else, but in a pinch a fork works for ice cream…so…I’m lost, and hungry #MTedchat

A4) I like staff - needed all the time, especially when it gets messy. Fork just "gets" and pokes, spoon is the artist as are Ts. #MTedchat

A4 love this ? It has my wheels turning;) just to keep playing with words! #MTedchat
