#BreakoutEDU Q1 What do you think of when you hear the word ‘homework’?

teachusingtech Apr 26 @ 9:05 PM EDT

Next Technology Across District Lines #tadl is on Tuesday May 24. If you are in the area, join us! #breakoutedu https://t.co/GAozK3ffNZ

breakoutEDU Apr 26 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Q1: What do you think of when you hear the word ‘homework’? #BreakoutEDU https://t.co/Esg47CuGvq

nms8400 Apr 26 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: Homework.... sometimes it can be pointless. More work at home. #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:06 PM EDT

@nms8400 Hi Natalie! Glad you are joining us tonight! #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: Homework should be an extension of what is taught in the classroom. #breakoutedu

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1 To be honest, I always had trouble concentrating on homework when younger. V disengaged. Needed music to keep me focused.. #BreakoutEDU

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:07 PM EDT

#breakoutedu At times I feel as thought it's expected and sometimes needed because of lack of time in the day

TeachMissSutton Apr 26 @ 9:07 PM EDT

I'll be in and out as I am facilitating a #breakoutedu session right now at the Wellington #gafesummit https://t.co/WwYAm5TZqx

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@teachzaccari Hi Kristen! Glad you joined us tonight! #breakoutedu

AndeleeEspinosa Apr 26 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: drill, practice, not very engaging #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@AndeleeEspinosa Hi Andelee! Welcome to #breakoutedu. Yes, I agree with your thoughts on homework!

mrchin_au Apr 26 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 an expectation from school community members, even though it might not be that use/benefical at times #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:08 PM EDT

#breakoutedu Trying to find "different" ways to have Ss practice concepts at home-using tech is helpful-breaking away from traditional hw

ChemLes Apr 26 @ 9:08 PM EDT

#sdedchat my fav session was with @CarlaDiede on #breakoutedu I still need to create one for my classroom

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Do we just give homework because it has always been given?? #breakoutedu #bethechange

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:09 PM EDT

a1- Ugh. #breakoutedu Flashbacks to too many ap classes at once.

froozely Apr 26 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1. I think, I'm gong to spend the next few days chasing it, marking it, setting detentions for not doing it. No to homework! #BreakoutEDU

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@nms8400 @SDE4Educators Love Kim!!! Please tell her hi!! Woo hoo ... Vegas!!! So jealous! #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Donna, tech facilitator from @BurkeCoSchools joining a little late #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@tdstech Thanks! I've heard about @breakoutEDU at the last conference and Edcamp I went to-glad I stumbled across this tonight! #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@marciabernard1 I love the idea of introducing a book this way!!! Great idea! #breakoutedu

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Traditional homework is tailored for populations. Maybe we can change homework to make it meaningful & encourage learning.. #BreakoutEDU

QWorldEducation Apr 26 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@mythsysizer students following their curiosities is imperative when setting homework #homework #educhat #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:12 PM EDT

.@tdstech Not proud of it... but I did. #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@QWorldEducation @mythsysizer follow your curiosity with homework. Would that mean individualizing every assignment? #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:13 PM EDT

#breakoutedu Thinking outside the box for diff "kinds" of homework...there just aren't enough hours in the day! Need places to find ideas

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@DonnaWells50 Yes, I think that districts force us to do this - and parents expect it! #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:14 PM EDT

.@tdstech If parents could experience life without it- bet they would like it! #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@teachzaccari Agree! It is hard to find liked-minded individuals who team up to do the same. #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:15 PM EDT

#breakoutedu I find that "online"homework doesn't get treated w/ as much respect b/c parents don't understand it yet-not used to it

breakoutEDU Apr 26 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Q2: Describe one homework task that you were given as a student. What makes it memorable or forgettable? #BreakoutEDU

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:15 PM EDT

#BreakoutEDU Q2 Describe one homework task that you were given as a student. What makes it memorable or forgettable?

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@DonnaWells50 You are right! But is homework a way to communicate what we teach with parents? #breakoutedu

NikkiDRobertson Apr 26 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Thx @AOliviaKarr & @KristiCombs15 4 our fun @breakoutEDU game today! https://t.co/gUWe5dBEVF Until next time! #tlchat #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2 #breakoutedu I can't remember one...does that mean something? LOL

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Oh my! I was going to type the same thing!! #breakoutedu https://t.co/Erutj6OAJL

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2 #breakoutedu I can't remember one...does that mean something? LOL

froozely Apr 26 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@tdstech @QWorldEducation @mythsysizer Thats a LOT of work! I teach 6 diff classes, all at diff levels w/ diff interests. How?! #BreakoutEDU

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:16 PM EDT

a2 Write then present a biography about a hero from the perspective on someone that knew the hero. I chose W. Disney #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:16 PM EDT

We did a reading log :( Bk title, pgs read, parent signs. Why? No clue. Waste of time filling it in & checking for completion. #breakoutedu.

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#breakoutedu I don't think we need hmk to communicate-my website is a wealth of info-videos, links etc. Can use Remind and other avenues

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 I always remember asking to complete a special project in Grade 3.. about dinosaurs. I was given an A4 worksheet.. woo.... #BreakoutEDU

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@froozely @QWorldEducation @mythsysizer Agree!!! #breakoutedu

AndeleeEspinosa Apr 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: I remember my parents complaining about all the worksheets I'd bring home. They still talk about it and I'm 39 years old. #breakoutedu

blueegg3r Apr 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

#breakoutedu Joining late - Robin Diedrichs 4th grade in Deland, FL.

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

I love this! Why use homework to communicate, when there are better tools out there? #breakoutedu https://t.co/T0H9ElIo3O

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#breakoutedu I don't think we need hmk to communicate-my website is a wealth of info-videos, links etc. Can use Remind and other avenues

ReadersLeadPD Apr 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Q2: #BreakoutEDU 5th grade science class, created a barometer from coffee can to measure air pressure. https://t.co/RGbjys1wVM

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:15 PM EDT

#BreakoutEDU Q2 Describe one homework task that you were given as a student. What makes it memorable or forgettable?

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@AndeleeEspinosa Worksheets!!! What a waste of trees! #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@blueegg3r Welcome Robin! Glad you joined us! Never too late! #breakoutedu

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@missgabyq @lhcsdwalnut thats so awesome! #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

#breakoutedu worksheets are def a waste of time-but sometimes I find myself using them b/c out of time to create other ways-only so many hrs

AndeleeEspinosa Apr 26 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: Best homework assignment: work on research project. I choose Autism and guess what? I'm now a special ed teacher. #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

#breakoutedu That's why my to do list for summer is so long already-redoing items to take the place of the dreaded worksheet or packet pages

blueegg3r Apr 26 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1- I think of it as an opportunity for families to join in their children's learning-I am an advocate of nightly reading. #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q2 Remember my daughter had to write words 10 times each. For "dog", she did a line of Ds, a line of Os, a line of Gs. #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@blueegg3r Robin that is what my 7 year old is doing now!! Reading!! #breakoutedu

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Hearing sad stories about homework makes me sad. We actually need more happy homework stories.. #BreakoutEDU

blueegg3r Apr 26 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2-I'm too old to remember! Honestly don't remember doing hw in the 70's as an elementary student. I'm sure I did? #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@DonnaWells50 She outsmarted the system! #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:21 PM EDT

#breakoutedu Anyone have any good homework replacement ideas? LOL

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@teachzaccari The summer to-do-list is never ending!! #breakoutedu https://t.co/iH80WjZNxE

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Hey everyone! Jumping in late from Ohio! #breakoutedu

jamesmccrary Apr 26 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A1. #unneccesary #breakoutedu @breakoutEDU

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:23 PM EDT

.@teachzaccari Assign a video that explains tomorrow's lesson. Will make tomorrow's class more engaging. #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@tdstech #breakoutedu I know I think I worked longer hours last summer and more days than the school year-with my teammate!

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@pburgstem Hi Jason! Welcome - never too late! #breakoutedu

breakoutEDU Apr 26 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Q3: What do you believe homework should be and do? #breakoutedu https://t.co/0KvzlcoGgo

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@DonnaWells50 @teachzaccari Love that idea!!! #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@DonnaWells50 #breakoutedu I do love this idea-this goes back to prev comment-many Ss and Ps didn't think it was "homework" so blew it off

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@jamesmccrary @breakoutEDU @AgentsofSHIELD Multi-tasking!! Nothing wrong with that!! #breakoutedu

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:25 PM EDT

#BreakoutEDU Q3 What do you believe homework should be and do?

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:25 PM EDT

.@blueegg3r I agree reading is great. But I'm no longer a proponent of a "reading log" #breakoutedu.

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@tdstech @DonnaWells50 #breakoutedu I think that's part of changing the culture of what "homework" should be or is now

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@QWorldEducation @mythsysizer This looks like a great resource!! Can't wait to print it out and take it! Thanks for sharing. #breakoutedu

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:25 PM EDT

a3 The only homework I ever "assigned" was "If you didn't finish it in class, you ca finish it at home" #breakoutedu Never anything else

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: I'll admit, I'm a bot out of practice. Haven't given homework in about 4 years due to my job change. HW should be relevant #breakoutedu

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 Homework must be engaging and meaningful for learning. Ss must be learning something new or reinforcing something critical.. #BreakoutEDU

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@EdTechAri So I totally get this thought in some situations but what about the child is needs the extra practice? #breakoutedu

TheEdsaneT Apr 26 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@rosy_burke I need to talk to you about your #breakoutedu with your 5th graders. Need to learn from you #totallyrossome

blueegg3r Apr 26 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3-Homework should build habits of learning that will ensure success throughout a child's school career! #breakoutedu

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: HW should hook and engage, should be exciting and fun and lead into next day's lesson. #breakoutedu

SusanCaldis Apr 26 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@mythsysizer #breakoutedu Hi Nick & all, Susan from Sydney, usually I'm 🙄 about hwk but flipped classroom approaches have made hwk work 1/2

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:28 PM EDT

.@teachzaccari Can't fix that- just like we can't fix if they don't do traditional hw. #breakoutedu. Checked out @EDpuzzle ?

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@EdTechAri #breakoutedu Struggle w/ this as well-never finish at the same times-always in different places-need better independence

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@SusanCaldis @mythsysizer Welcome Susan! Glad you are here!! #breakoutedu

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@tdstech true, for HS English i usually assigned mandatory after school or lunch sessions for Ss that needed extra support #breakoutedu

SusanCaldis Apr 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@mythsysizer #breakoutedu ... Because the learning has become integral to the next day/lesson. I also love the passion project idea 2/2 😀👍

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@DonnaWells50 @EDpuzzle #breakoutedu I have seen it-on my to do list to make some this summer!

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@tdstech all Ss were invited at least 1 a month so it wasn't a punitive action #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@EdTechAri So they are getting extra practice but in a unique way. That's a good alternative! #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:29 PM EDT

“If you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always got.”- Henry Ford #breakoutedu

Peebles142 Apr 26 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3 I like to call HW "continued learning" ~ a chance to bridge home-school connections (interview siblings, write stories, etc) #breakoutedu

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:31 PM EDT

So we have covered the ups and (mostly) downs of traditional homework.. what about #BreakoutEDU Homework? Who has checked that out?

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@jamesmccrary in some ways you're right. I had my students 'publish' some papers and others stayed as rough drafts #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:31 PM EDT

.@froozely @blueegg3r @teachzaccari Flash drive, cd, Google Drive offline, come in 10 mins. before school? #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@mythsysizer I haven't checked out #breakoutedu Homework but need to!!! I follow on Facebook so see the cool things.

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3: What if HW probed depths of intrinsic motivation? Ss wanting to do it for the sheer joy of the puzzle. Segway BreakoutEDU! #breakoutedu

froozely Apr 26 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3. Set HW that sets Ss up for the next lesson using interactive, websites, videos, etc. Problem - not all my Ss have internet #BreakoutEDU

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@mythsysizer #breakoutedu Not much. I watched one video with my teammate when we learned about it-didn't know where to begin!

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@mythsysizer I haven't tried it yet with Ss but did watch the first one...it was crazy awesome! #breakoutedu

blueegg3r Apr 26 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@mythsysizer I haven't - how does it work? Can you do it without technology? #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:32 PM EDT

.@teachzaccari You better take some time to recharge your batteries this summer :) All work and no play.... #breakoutedu

breakoutEDU Apr 26 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Q4: How can we improve perceptions and attitudes towards homework? #breakoutedu https://t.co/0ehg9dqLuE

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@blueegg3r @mythsysizer Check this out to see how works https://t.co/XtSQZeJWur #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4 #breakoutedu good question-not sure I have an answer-I try to show them the real world relevance when I can?

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:34 PM EDT

a4 Make it meaningful, whatever the task! #breakoutedu

TeachMissSutton Apr 26 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A clue has been found! #breakoutedu #gafesummit https://t.co/8vRkJN5QD4

Peebles142 Apr 26 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4 the only way to improve the idea of HW is to allow for student choice or to provide engaging+fun extension activities as HW #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Q4 baby steps, explanations, parent meetings, data, help students take ownership...if they need practice, they should practice. #breakoutedu

ajs11491 Apr 26 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: Choice, relevancy, and depth will allow for further discovery of concepts as opposed to simply "getting hw done" #breakoutedu

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4: Question every assignment you've ever given. Judge them based on a new set of standards. Throw out what's rubbish. #breakoutedu

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:35 PM EDT

#BreakoutEDU Q4 How can we improve perceptions and attitudes towards homework?

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4 Competition - winners announced - and aren't you competing with others around the world? #breakoutedu #stilltryingtounderstandit

jamesmccrary Apr 26 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4. let the Ss decide along with objectives for work out of the classroom. Differentiation & motivation in 1. #breakoutEDU

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@ajs11491 I agree. Provide room for autonomy. Lose the "Teacher Kung Fu grip" of control. #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@ajs11491 Nothing is better than when Ss want to do the assignment #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@blueegg3r @mythsysizer I am a tech director for K-12 school. Elementary is my love :) #breakoutedu

TheWeirdTeacher Apr 26 @ 9:36 PM EDT

#breakoutedu A4 Stop calling all homework blanket evil and awful. Shades of gray and flexibility is actually good

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4 Like most things, you improve perceptions & attitudes about things by tailoring to needs of users.. ie homework and students #BreakoutEDU

blueegg3r Apr 26 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4-Personal goal setting-choice to achi the goals-ie paper based or tech based on S resources & desire. Making it irresistible. #breakoutedu

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4: Engage parents in HW discussions at beginning of year to help re-shape the purpose and point, give examples #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:38 PM EDT

#breakoutedu Love the idea of "choice" in hmk-? is how do you "check homework" or don't you? That's alot of indiv checking next day

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@teachzaccari What if you had a homework notebook that would be like a portfolio? #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:39 PM EDT

.@blueegg3r USB drive. No internet, can download files in Google Drive, if they have devices. Plan B... no videos at home :) #breakoutedu

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:39 PM EDT

My students have loved trying out #BreakoutEDU Homework. Not just as Homework, but as a challenge for themselves!

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@tdstech #breakoutedu so you wouldn't "check" it together every day but maybe turn in weekly?

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@teachzaccari I am thinking check for completion - and turn in on Fridays?? Totally initial thoughts. #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:41 PM EDT

.@froozely @blueegg3r Can't do it for them...All on same page about purpose of HW? Required by admin? #breakoutedu

SchleiderJustin Apr 26 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4 make it interesting and relevant #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@DonnaWells50 @froozely @blueegg3r I think required by admin is a biggie. #breakoutedu

stuartkellynz Apr 26 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@tdstech @ajs11491 #breakoutedu And for personal and academic gain as well.

breakoutEDU Apr 26 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Q5: Head to #BreakoutEDU.com/homework & view1 of the Tasks. What r the skills that are encouraged or reinforced. https://t.co/yf0Zv8LvdV

froozely Apr 26 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4. Perhaps change the word from 'homework' to something less boring?! Not sure what tho... Achievement Prep? Awesome Extras?! #BreakoutEDU

stuartkellynz Apr 26 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@breakoutEDU #breakoutedu Let them have time for reflection and self-analysis. A4

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@tdstech @DonnaWells50 @froozely @blueegg3r #breakoutedu breaking traditional culture..if child doesn't do well could come back on you.

stuartkellynz Apr 26 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@froozely Not just semantics. Passion time, Thinking? #breakoutedu A4

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:43 PM EDT

.@blueegg3r @froozely I've done it.HW everyday= prize. Same Ss- no prize. It's not working. Why am I assigning, for them or me? #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@blueegg3r @DonnaWells50 @froozely Did something trigger the change? How did parents react? #breakoutedu

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:44 PM EDT

a5 Critical thinking and paying attention to detail #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A5 Just watched the answer to the Walk one-kinda figured something like that but had no idea how to begin! LOL #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:44 PM EDT

.@tdstech @froozely @blueegg3r Yep I agree. Be a pilot teacher, keep some data. Does it make a difference? #breakoutedu.

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:44 PM EDT

What if HW looked like this? It's #Minecraft, but you could do this with anything! https://t.co/XC83Zy7TN9 #breakoutedu

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:45 PM EDT

#BreakoutEDU Q5 Head to https://t.co/WVt6X3AM4b and view one of the Tasks. Name the Task and the skills that are encouraged or reinforced.

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:45 PM EDT

.@blueegg3r @tdstech @froozely Negative? #breakoutedu

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@DonnaWells50 @froozely @blueegg3r And I foresee surveys - from parents and students!! #breakoutedu

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Just fyi y'all convos about #homework aren't about demonization, it's about moving forward 4 student learning #breakoutedu

stuartkellynz Apr 26 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@pburgstem Great share! #BreakoutEDU The means justifies the end IMO.

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@pburgstem #breakoutedu that would be so sweet! Kids would LOVE that!

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A5: Observation, Calculation, Documentation, Problem solving, Critical thinking, Questioning strategies, TEAMWORK!!! #breakoutedu

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@pburgstem So cool!! #breakoutedu

A5 My favourite task? 003. Problem solving is HUGE here. Use of Google tools is also great for students who use GAFE constantly #BreakoutEDU

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@mythsysizer #breakoutedu that one is amazing. Not sure 5th could do it alone-tempted to show-give time to talk-then show the answer

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@DonnaWells50 @teachzaccari @tdstech @froozely @blueegg3r It's all coming back to me now. #breakoutedu

My first attempt @BreakoutEDU #breakoutedu Spyder Heist Breakout https://t.co/6QGEkMfuBw via @YouTube

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@EdTechAri @DonnaWells50 @teachzaccari @froozely @blueegg3r Sounds like a Celine Deon song. #breakoutedu

EdTechAri Apr 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@tdstech @DonnaWells50 @teachzaccari @froozely @blueegg3r There were moments of gold and there were flashes of light! #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:49 PM EDT

#breakoutedu I am so lost on the digital breakouts-I keep trying to start but I don't even know how to begin-if I can't how will my 5ths?

mythsysizer Apr 26 @ 9:50 PM EDT

My students love problems where the answer isn't apparent straight away. Problems where we scratch the surface to reveal more.. #BreakoutEDU

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A5 Attention to detail, perseverance, creative thinking. #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@mythsysizer #breakoutedu I sadly have realized that ours do not-want answer right away or give up-can't find in book immed? They quit. Sad

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@teachzaccari Agreed. Maybe a bit more direction on separate webpage that Ss can't view. Uh-oh, the Ts need differentiation. #breakoutedu

Q6: Describe two ways that traditional homework and #BreakoutEDU homework are different! https://t.co/OuA88cXYjA

@teachzaccari @mythsysizer Do you think this improves the more you do #breakoutedu games? #breakoutedu

A5-Still watching Japanese Goodness.....#breakoutedu

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@teachzaccari @mythsysizer This instant gratification is something I believe we need to help decompose in our students. #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:52 PM EDT

#breakoutedu How I know teaching HAS 2 change-they can't just give up when they can't find the answer to copy! You have to THINK!

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:53 PM EDT

.@teachzaccari Do it with them. They'll see things you won't. Or with some fellow teachers. So much better than alone, IMO. #breakoutedu

pburgstem Apr 26 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@blueegg3r ...and now you want some candy, right? #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@pburgstem @mythsysizer #breakoutedu 100% agree. Figuring out how! Sent Ss to desks the other day wanting answer that was right there.

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6 Authentic, different mindset, not multiple choice, fun, addictive :) #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@pburgstem #breakoutedu I just have zero idea what to do w/ what's on the page to get the numbers it wants LOL

DonnaWells50 Apr 26 @ 9:56 PM EDT

.@EdTechAri @tdstech Getting late, you're singing Celine songs. Now there's HW I could buy in to. #breakoutedu.

blueegg3r Apr 26 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@pburgstem Absolutely but as my Ss would say - I'm a Swedish Fish LOVER! #breakoutedu https://t.co/KRopIMBlU1

MsMilleson32 Apr 26 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A6 @breakoutEDU bEDU HW isn't solution drive, it's process drive. Traditional HW is for a grade, bEDU is for the experience #BreakoutEDU

tdstech Apr 26 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Great chat tonight! Thanks @mythsysizer for moderating. See you guys in 2 weeks!! #breakoutedu

teachzaccari Apr 26 @ 9:57 PM EDT
