Without curiosity our students are not learning. #mesqchat

dendally50 Mar 23 @ 9:08 PM EDT

#mesqchat #ctc I assoc curiosity with a love of learning - wanting to know...everything! We want students to be lifelong learners.

court030715 Mar 23 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 that's what keeps students engaged and wanting to learn more #mesqchat

mpriceedtech Mar 23 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1- curiosity is an engine that will drive the Ss to engage and own their learning. Do what I tell you to does not take Ss far. #mesqchat

kimballreaders Mar 23 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: st who are curious are creative problem solvers. We need these type of people in our world! #kimballES #mesqchat

A1 Curiosity primes the pump for learning. #mesqchat

Mrs_Fuselier Mar 23 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: It's important to spark interest. A lot of curriculum is forced and students don't get to "wonder" and be creative #mesqchat

A1: curiosity fuels learning. Students learn so much more if they are interested in what they are learning and the answers #mesqchat

MsBrowning3 Mar 23 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Students have to want to know more to be engaged. We wanted to have them on the edge of their seats waiting for what's next #mesqchat

HammettJennifer Mar 23 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: Curiosity is what fuels the desire to learn. If we take it away, we have halted learning or at least taken away the joy. #mesqchat

dgoossenEdu Mar 23 @ 9:09 PM EDT

I spent an hour researching this because I was couros about it. That's what it does. #mesqchat

A2 combat this by getting Ss involved in their learning by giving them choices they're interested in and listening to them them #mesqchat

A2 Ts wanting to maintain "control" of THEIR lesson. Combat by letting the Ss have a say in where the lesson goes. #mesqchat

coffelt_jamie Mar 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT

All students should have a say in their learning and it starts with their questions and them investigating to find answers #mesqchat

bcookie99 Mar 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT
