A1 Worksheets are anything requiring little to no thought or creation. Can find answers on Google. #DitchBook

leadlaughlearn - Moderator Apr 21 @ 10:05 PM EDT

A1 Online doesn't mean it isn't a worksheet. Ts who ask for ways to edit their digital textbook PDFs drive me crazy! #ditchbook

CHSTechTeacher Apr 21 @ 10:05 PM EDT

A1: Anything "fill-in-the-blank-esque". Worksheets that r scanned in as PDFs. Anything that can be subbed in w/ tech #ditchbook

A1: A worksheet is usually skill and drill. Yes, you can make skill and drill with tech - but let's hope we move past it quickly. #DitchBook

pensivechatter Apr 21 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: I would define worksheet as a printed page with questions with one right answer #DitchBook

Stanton_Lit Apr 21 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: Work that requires zero critical thinking. And a worksheet on an iPad is just a well lit worksheet. #DitchBook

jmattmiller - Moderator Apr 21 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: Worksheets are fairly recall-based. Can weave creativity in, but it's rare. Digital worksheets are still worksheets! #ditchbook

A1. A worksheet made digital is still a worksheet and usually low DOK #ditchbook

SEANJFAHEY Apr 21 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: Worksheets = DOK 1 #DitchBook

ChrisTuckerEdu Apr 21 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: Busy work. If the tech is just substituting a physical worksheet, it's still a worksheet. #DitchBook

The original definition of a WS is anything that is mass produced and has right/wrong answers. #ditchbook

teachmbw Apr 21 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1: "worksheets" can show collection of data OR application of skills (ex: math problems) - doesn't matter if paper or with tech #DitchBook

rachelmarker Apr 21 @ 10:07 PM EDT

@SWiddersheim I LOVE LOVE LOVE when we get ed students in chats! Welcome! #Ditchbook

emosier3 Apr 21 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1 = Low level thinking skills are what worksheets are. Digital wkshts are just a "$200 pencil." #DitchBook

MatthewWeld Apr 21 @ 10:07 PM EDT

rachelmarker Apr 21 @ 10:08 PM EDT

@DAWitkus That sounds like some serious Twitter #teamwork. Way to go! #Ditchbook

DAWitkus Apr 21 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A1 Worksheets have one answer. You could grade 5 of the same worksheet at one time. #ditchbook

brianrozinsky Apr 21 @ 10:08 PM EDT

A1 Makers of worksheets do the heavy cognitive lifting, so the learners filling them out don't have to. Wrong x2! #ditchbook

One right answer=YES! Key worksheet characteristic! #DitchBook https://t.co/xo33LVs6cq

A1: I would define worksheet as a printed page with questions with one right answer #DitchBook

rachelmarker Apr 21 @ 10:09 PM EDT

@pensivechatter Yes, one right answer, and often no room to show the thinking. Blech! #Ditchbook

jmattmiller - Moderator Apr 21 @ 10:09 PM EDT

You can put good, thought-provoking ?s on paper and distribute to Ss. But a paper doesn't engage and inspire often. #ditchbook

mrrogers311 Apr 21 @ 10:09 PM EDT

A1: a worsheet is a mindless activity to keep Ss compliant not engaged. Yes DOK 1 lowest levels on Blooms Tax #DitchBook

MatthewWeld Apr 21 @ 10:09 PM EDT

A2: It's often hard to do math without some sort of worksheet. There are skills that just need to be memorized. #ditchbook

ChrisTuckerEdu Apr 21 @ 10:10 PM EDT

A1: I don't consider worksheets active engagement in the lesson. #DitchBook

CHSTechTeacher Apr 21 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A2: I'm not sure if there a reason anymore in today's world. Maybe if electricity is out? #DitchBook

MatthewWeld Apr 21 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Rodney W. History T from Reno. Whats this textbook you speak of? Oh the paperweights in my cabinet. I see... #DitchBook

emosier3 Apr 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A2 =The only time I find them applicable is dissecting sentences and grammar concepts. Easy to draw all over a sentence on paper! #DitchBook

MicheleCMueller Apr 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

Q2, I think pencil/pen to paper is still an important part of learning. #ditchbook

teachmbw Apr 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A2: if T using as busy work than 'no' but with a "show me what you know" purpose than "yes" #DitchBook

SEANJFAHEY Apr 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A2: I think there can be a time and place BUT it has to be few and far between and for certain Ss they need that repetition #DitchBook

MatthewWeld Apr 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@TTmomTT For HS, yes. I'm in elementary, so was thinking about Times tables... #ditchbook

Only if the worksheet asks for student application to show understanding! We want upper level thinking for ours students! #ditchbook

A2: Definitely not something that should be used everyday! But they are helpful for a very few things! #DitchBook

Stanton_Lit Apr 21 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@MsGregosClass I agree. Work on paper should ask higher level questions of analyzing. I call this activities to avoid "worksheet" #DitchBook

jmattmiller - Moderator Apr 21 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@leadlaughlearn Graphic organizers def can be. Frayer leads Ss into deeper thought. I'd say maybe not. #ditchbook

SEANJFAHEY Apr 21 @ 10:15 PM EDT

I say no. Graphic organizers are to help Ss with thinking and organizing their learning #DitchBook https://t.co/usr9E2UdbH

MatthewWeld Apr 21 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura @leadlaughlearn No, graphic organizers don't count, because there's not a right/wrong answer. #ditchbook

@leadlaughlearn Anything Ss are actively engaging with and being challenged to think through is not a "worksheet" IMO #DitchBook

DowdErica Apr 21 @ 10:16 PM EDT

brianrozinsky Apr 21 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@leadlaughlearn I'll cast my vote(s) for semantically, yes; spiritually no. Feels like potentially worthy work on sheet of paper. #ditchbook

teachmbw Apr 21 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@rachelmarker true, also depends on how the S interprets the work being given -whether digital or on paper doesn't matter #ditchbook

@teachmbw Agreed! #ditchbook

CHSTechTeacher Apr 21 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A3 Make Engage more with Ss and allows for dialogue AND exploration!! #ditchbook

leadlaughlearn - Moderator Apr 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A3 Teaching + learning w/o worksheets makes T/S roles more active. Worksheets say complacency, lack of differentiation to me #DitchBook

jmattmiller - Moderator Apr 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

Whether we classify them as worksheets or activities or whatever, there are better ways to inspire/engage than photocopies. #ditchbook

MatthewWeld Apr 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@DowdErica not necessarily. It could be brainstorming for a writing assignment, short answer, finding text evidence, etc. #ditchbook

leadlaughlearn - Moderator Apr 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura I agree completely! #DitchBook

ChrisTuckerEdu Apr 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A3: Ss should be the ones working hard/being tired at the end of the day. Ts should be facilitators. #DitchBook

rachelmarker Apr 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT
