Q1 We believe curiosity inspires learning. How do you activate curiosity in your students about the learning material? #recapchat

DMooreSpanish May 18 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Danielle from chicago #RecapChat

talouis May 18 @ 8:06 PM EDT

#recapchat A1 I always try to have some personal story to share to pique S interest - then have them connect personally as well!

Noemi_Swivl May 18 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Making a personal connection is such a great way to bring the material to life! #RecapChat

In reply to @talouis

AnneKamper May 18 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: give them just enough to peak the interest with a hook or an idea to get their brains rolling and wanting more #recapchat

Rdene915 May 18 @ 8:09 PM EDT

#recapchat A1 explain only a little, or show a video clip, play a game, just enough to engage Ss a bit

MarkoMarkolovic May 18 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: Present appropriate challenges in the classroom. In a safe intellectual environment students thrive. #RecapChat

In reply to @Rdene915, @RecapThat

gardnerkb1 May 18 @ 8:10 PM EDT

I activate curiosity with Mr. Buzzy! He delivers mail to "hook" Ss, build background, or prompt a lesson about upcoming learning #recapchat

AngelaMLWestmo May 18 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Angela from NC. 6th grade Social Studies teacher. #RecapChat

guyonsmile May 18 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: make it relevant to their interests #recapchat

AngelaMLWestmo May 18 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: by making it relevant! You have to add something that helps them connect to the material. #recapchat

RecapThat - Moderator May 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Q2 How does promoting student questions inspire learning? #recapchat #stuvoice

gardnerkb1 May 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Sometimes Mr. Buzzy's mail asks Ss to watch a video and respond to my comprehension Qs on @recap! #recapchat

talouis May 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

#recapchat A2 inquiry is the basis of learning - we have to keep the S mind wondering & eager to learn!

guyonsmile May 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: if they are curious and want to know more Ss be more engaged and empowered to learn #recapchat

AnneKamper May 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: to take it to a deeper level think about what they have learned, analyze to express their learning reflection #recapchat

gardnerkb1 May 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Q2: Promoting Ss questions inspires learning with engagement and excitement to learn #recapchat

Rdene915 May 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

#recapchat #stuvoice A2 Ss find it more meaningful, will be more engaged in #learning when they can ask Q specific to their interests

In reply to @RecapThat

Noemi_Swivl May 18 @ 8:16 PM EDT

We've found that giving students a place to pose Qs anonymously increases willingness to ask. Have you experienced this? #RecapChat

In reply to @MarkoMarkolovic, @RecapThat

MarkoMarkolovic May 18 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: Qs help Ss expand their learning and to challenge what they know and believe about whatever we are tackling at the moment. #RecapChat

In reply to @RecapThat

guyonsmile May 18 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Agreed. It helps give a voice to those that are typically quiet. #RecapChat

In reply to @Noemi_Swivl, @MarkoMarkolovic, @RecapThat

AngelaMLWestmo May 18 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Student's want to know their concerns and ideas are taken seriously. #StuVoice #RecapChat

Q3 Have you tried using a question box in your classroom? What were the results? #recapchat

DMooreSpanish May 18 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 asking Qs and being curious make learning authentic #RecapChat

talouis May 18 @ 8:19 PM EDT

#recapchat A3 - I am intrigued about the Qbox......

AnneKamper May 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A3: I'm not in the classroom as a teacher I used a similar idea of a parking lot for questions etc. #recapchat

In reply to @Noemi_Swivl, @RecapThat

Noemi_Swivl May 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Absolutely. Do you have any specific examples of how you do this? #RecapChat

In reply to @AngelaMLWestmo, @RecapThat

guyonsmile May 18 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: I used to have a writable wall where Ss could write anything. If a topic was 'trending' we would explore it. #RecapChat

Noemi_Swivl May 18 @ 8:21 PM EDT

parking lot? you've sparked my interest :) Can you tell me more? #RecapChat

In reply to @AnneKamper

talouis May 18 @ 8:21 PM EDT

#FlippingFantastic - great idea #recapchat

In reply to @guyonsmile

MarkoMarkolovic May 18 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: No I usually use the question features in Google Slides or @TodaysMeet for students to post questions during a lesson. #RecapChat

In reply to @RecapThat, @TodaysMeet

AngelaMLWestmo May 18 @ 8:22 PM EDT

#recapchat #stuvoice I make it clear to students from the beginning that their questions are important to me. Also sometimes have to say idk

Q4 It is important to show students how what they learn is connected to the real world. How do you do that in your classroom? #recapchat

talouis May 18 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2 #SquirrelsChat seems to me we could mix in a little @RecapThat for summer -kids could record a video periodically to check in! #recapchat

Rdene915 May 18 @ 8:26 PM EDT

#recapchat I love using both @recap and @flipgrid #FlipgridFever I like that the Ss have options and can choose #stuchoice

EmilyMerritt - Moderator May 18 @ 8:28 PM EDT

I love that, even just that one moment of using something outside of class unlocks all those Qs of what else can I use this for #RecapChat

In reply to @DMooreSpanish

guyonsmile May 18 @ 8:29 PM EDT
