#cdnedchat Ss watched me @periscopeco live:gave me fdbk on presentation. They were shocked that I asked 4 their fdbk https://t.co/Oc9hKVeyQU

callmemrmorris Feb 29 @ 8:44 PM EST

@rolat @BSchlacht Agreed. And Ts shouldn't be afraid to bring this mentality into their classrooms #cdnedchat

Fast paced chat in #cdnedchat tonight with lots of incredible educators full of great ideas and attitudes! Two more questions coming at you!

MeldrumKim Feb 29 @ 8:45 PM EST

@Mx_Roxanne so right I see too many public behaviour charts-red yellow green for all to see😞 #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:45 PM EST

A5: Play a variety of cooperative games. Also important to show how a school/class can work together to achieve a common goal. #cdnedchat

KatieWhite426 Feb 29 @ 8:45 PM EST

A5: One-on-one conferring for goal setting & reflecting keeps the focus on individual growth. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:46 PM EST

A5: Competition against others is the enemy of learning. We want to find and develop the best ideas, but not by "beating" others #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:46 PM EST

A5. By showing appreciation and value. #cdnedchat

rolat Feb 29 @ 8:46 PM EST

A5-Recognizing the learning process by reflecting on successes & mistakes as a team through collaboration, critical thinking. #cdnedchat

KatieWhite426 Feb 29 @ 8:46 PM EST

A5: Many trad.practices inadvertently reinforce winners and losers. We have to be purposeful in language & actions #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:46 PM EST

@rolat @callmemrmorris it is essential that we learn as well. #cdnedchat

callmemrmorris Feb 29 @ 8:46 PM EST

@KatieWhite426 If we had 1-on-1 conferencing more routinely there would almost be no need for report cards #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:47 PM EST

@KatieWhite426 Great idea. Always focusing on the individual. #cdnedchat

MeldrumKim Feb 29 @ 8:47 PM EST

A5 have a puzzle table in your class/great for collaboration #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:47 PM EST

@callmemrmorris @KatieWhite426 Absolutely. Then, learners would be able to make changes along the way, understand process>product #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:47 PM EST

@misspollock And celebrate each others successes #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:47 PM EST

@MeldrumKim Jigsaw puzzle? #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:48 PM EST

@BSchlacht And elevate our ideas through collaboration, critical thinking and authentic critique/feedback #cdnedchat

callmemrmorris Feb 29 @ 8:48 PM EST

A5) We dont want to foster a hostile learning environment,but competition is valuable when used properly #cdnedchat https://t.co/0VKov8hl0y

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:41 PM EST

Q5: How do you focus on helping and not competing in the learning environment? #cdnedchat

KatieWhite426 Feb 29 @ 8:48 PM EST

A5: Do we reinforce the idea of "primary knowers" in our classes? Reinforces a belief that some Ss "get it" & some don't #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:48 PM EST

@MeldrumKim Yes, puzzles. I also see this with my light table as well. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:49 PM EST

@callmemrmorris I spend a lot of time thinking and talking about this. When do you think competition can be used properly? #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:49 PM EST

@MeldrumKim Fun! How many pieces are you working on right now? #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:49 PM EST

Q6: What are some resources you can share that help kids to be empathetic? #cdnedchat

KatieWhite426 Feb 29 @ 8:49 PM EST

One of the very best ways to do so many of the things we know work with kids to support learning #cdnedchat https://t.co/7VjtgcEt7u

callmemrmorris Feb 29 @ 8:46 PM EST

@KatieWhite426 If we had 1-on-1 conferencing more routinely there would almost be no need for report cards #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:50 PM EST

@TheCandyDish @MeldrumKim What's a light table? #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:50 PM EST

@KatieWhite426 Important to reinforce to students that each students' schema is different but we can add to our schema. #cdnedchat

callmemrmorris Feb 29 @ 8:50 PM EST

@misspollock Now I need to think about that..at first I would say when it does not conflict with self-esteem.. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:50 PM EST

@KatieWhite426 Can you explain what you mean by a "primary knower"? #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:50 PM EST

@KatieWhite426 I believe reflection is a must. #cdnedchat

callmemrmorris Feb 29 @ 8:51 PM EST

@misspollock i know that answer is vague, but now I have something to think about tnight! (Thanks for a new blog idea, though)!! #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:51 PM EST

A6: My former school board uses the Community of Character wheel - helps target and theme our learning. #cdnedchat https://t.co/RI3mYUMFXW

Mx_Roxanne Feb 29 @ 8:51 PM EST

A6: I like to play thought experiment games with kids. Imagine a situation they have to collaboratively solve. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:51 PM EST

@callmemrmorris I'd love to hear your thoughts and reflections! #cdnedchat

KatieWhite426 Feb 29 @ 8:52 PM EST

Those Ss who the rest of the Ss expect to answer the tough questions.Many classes have defined roles. #cdnedchat https://t.co/BtVKVWnyri

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:50 PM EST

@KatieWhite426 Can you explain what you mean by a "primary knower"? #cdnedchat

callmemrmorris Feb 29 @ 8:52 PM EST

@misspollock What do you think? Competition in the classroom..when, where, how? #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:52 PM EST

@TheCandyDish @KatieWhite426 We all learn in different ways on different days! #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:52 PM EST

@misspollock I will def get back to you when i scribble down some ideas.. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:52 PM EST

@callmemrmorris My answer to that is simple - never, nowhere, no-how! I want to read your answers and ideas, though! #cdnedchat

ZeliaMCT Feb 29 @ 8:52 PM EST

A5: Community building 1st: Ss enjoy competing 4 the same end goal as it reflects on them as a team. Rotating leadership roles #cdnedchat

KatieWhite426 Feb 29 @ 8:53 PM EST

These roles have often been decided long before they hit our classes, especially if grps are a cohort #cdnedchat https://t.co/BtVKVWnyri

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:50 PM EST

@KatieWhite426 Can you explain what you mean by a "primary knower"? #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:53 PM EST

@TheCandyDish @MeldrumKim I want to play with that right now. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:53 PM EST

@Mx_Roxanne Can you share an example of one that you might use? #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:53 PM EST

@BSchlacht I have loved using #TakingCareThurs. It has helped me focus more specific lessons. #cdnedchat

callmemrmorris Feb 29 @ 8:54 PM EST

@misspollock Yikes...I def don't agree with that - now I know I have to step my game up when i blog this one up!!!!! #cdnedchat

callmemrmorris Feb 29 @ 8:54 PM EST

@misspollock Why never? #cdnedchat

BSchlacht - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:54 PM EST

@Mx_Roxanne Like a mystry game? #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:54 PM EST

@misspollock @MeldrumKim I have a teacher friend who comes in after school to see what is on it just to play. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:55 PM EST

@callmemrmorris I think it provides the wrong kind of motivation and reward - extrinsic. It's distracting/detrimental to learning #cdnedchat

KatieWhite426 Feb 29 @ 8:55 PM EST

Non-negotiable #cdnedchat https://t.co/6OiPjTlrws

BSchlacht - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:50 PM EST
