Q1: The book gave us some great ideas for appetizers, have you tried anything new to enhance the introduction of a topic? #cisdtigerchat

PatriciaNelle Nov 15 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: We dressed up as MAD Scientists for Mean Absolute Deviation! It helped to hook the kids into a rather dull topic! #cisdtigerchat

TechyKilgore - Moderator Nov 15 @ 9:12 PM EST

Love this! Makes me miss the classroom! #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @PatriciaNelle

iamsturchie Nov 15 @ 9:12 PM EST

A1: I'm a fan of storytelling hooks or decorations to peak interest in a lesson. #cisdtigerchat

A1: As a Kinder teacher, I always liked to dress up or set the scene. I guess I still like to do that! :) #cisdtigerchat

iamsturchie Nov 15 @ 9:17 PM EST

I also feel that storytelling helps to build that personal connection with Ss as well as set tone for lessons. #cisdtigerchat

Ben_educating Nov 15 @ 9:30 PM EST

What is edpuzzle? #cisdtigerchat

In reply to @jill_fay

PatriciaNelle Nov 15 @ 9:31 PM EST

Didn't @corderj show us @EDpuzzle during a presentation? #cisdtigerchat
