Tell us a bit more about that, @FHSBerg. How does that play out on a day-to-day basis? #mnlead

ACook_FACS Jan 10 @ 8:10 PM EST

mahillmann - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

What’s your favorite ‘edugargon’ term, @korytellers? #mnlead

robert_schuetz Jan 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

A1 I see paper as having limitation, as more material becomes digitized, it's OK to rid ourselves of paper. #recycle #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

A1 Anything that takes away from the mission of serving our students and community. Hoops rather than effective action. #clutter #mnlead

ACook_FACS Jan 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

@andreakornowski couldn't agree more! All starts with a mindset change! #mnlead

jenlegatt Jan 10 @ 8:11 PM EST

A1. Educational clutter would be initiatives or mandates that do not have students in mind. Repetitive work with little depth. #mnlead

tracyacramer Jan 10 @ 8:12 PM EST

#mnlead IMHO educational clutter is just time fillers. No real learning can be done w/ it and we are all better without clutter #nohoarding

MrsDruffel Jan 10 @ 8:12 PM EST

@robert_schuetz true! But do you ever mind kids would just rather do something on paper? #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 10 @ 8:13 PM EST

robert_schuetz Jan 10 @ 8:13 PM EST
