SOCIOCULTURALISTS IN THE HOUSE! #utedchat is going to be about groupwork and individualized learning. TO THE DEATH! Not really.

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:00 PM EDT

Welcome to tonight's #utedchat. Tonight we will using the typical Q1 A1 format.

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:01 PM EDT

Welcome to #utedchat. Introduce yourself, and briefly describe your own personal Brush with Greatness (BWG). A time you met someone famous.

covili - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:01 PM EDT

Hello #utedchat friends - good to be here tonight with @mrlewisyoung

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:03 PM EDT

Here's mine: I’m Lewis, and my BWG came in the summer of 1995. I stalked Steve Young at his home to get an autograph. #utedchat

sandeeteach Apr 6 @ 11:03 PM EDT

Hello #utedchat I teach 5th grade is So. Jordan

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:04 PM EDT

Question #1 coming in one minute... #utedchat

sandeeteach Apr 6 @ 11:04 PM EDT

Brush w greatness- meeting athletes at 2002 Winter Games! Too many to name :) #utedchat

DaniKSloan Apr 6 @ 11:04 PM EDT

Hello! Dani Sloan from @UENpd. I wasn't close, but I took 35 students to President Obama's inauguration in 2009. #utedchat

amorrill Apr 6 @ 11:04 PM EDT

This is Angelique, 5th grade 1:1 iPad school, once met John Densmore of the Doors #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:05 PM EDT

Q1: As a learner, which do you prefer? Individualized learning, or group work? Why? #utedchat

MichelleOReed Apr 6 @ 11:05 PM EDT

Michelle, LMETS (librarian & tech specialist) in Granite. No BWG. #UTedChat

missplott Apr 6 @ 11:05 PM EDT

Krystal - STS from @GraniteSchools checking in. I once met Jay Leno at a taping of the tonight show! #utedchat https://t.co/xWHzy2YPKZ

MichelleOReed Apr 6 @ 11:06 PM EDT

Q1: Can I say both? I like learning on my own but have had great experiences working in groups. #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:06 PM EDT

@missplott @GraniteSchools YES! Is that during a jaywalking segment? #utedchat

ckirgan5 Apr 6 @ 11:06 PM EDT

Cynthia from Eureka Elem and I teach 5th. Can't think of a BWG. #utedchat

sandeeteach Apr 6 @ 11:06 PM EDT

A1 Depends :) But I really like kids to collaborate on various activities and some projects #utedchat

covili - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:06 PM EDT

A1 I guess I like group work best - good chance for synergy in learning. #UTedChat

missplott Apr 6 @ 11:07 PM EDT

A1: mixture - but love group with with roles and responsibilities for all students. Helps foster community and creativity #utedchat

sandeeteach Apr 6 @ 11:07 PM EDT

@ckirgan5 Hy Cynthia! Hope all is well in your neck of the woods :) #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:07 PM EDT

A1: I like group work, so long as they let me talk things through. Sometimes I don't shut up. #utedchat

tfenton84 Apr 6 @ 11:07 PM EDT

Tricia Fenton, teacher ...still waiting for that BWG. Need to show more initiative and follow people to their houses #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Apr 6 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1: I like to work alone and go at my own pace, but then bounce ideas off of a group. #utedchat

ckirgan5 Apr 6 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1 I mostly like working on my own. I don't like depending on others to do their part. It also depends on what I'm doing. #UTedChat

missplott Apr 6 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1: mixture - but love group work with roles and responsibilities for all students. Helps foster community and creativity #utedchat

amorrill Apr 6 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1 little project individual, group is good for larger projects and if inspiration is needed #utedchat

sandeeteach Apr 6 @ 11:08 PM EDT

Plug for my friend @JenniferBoehme for UEA president- Don't forget to vote! #utedchat Jennifer is AWESOME!

tfenton84 Apr 6 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1 I like group work when the division of labor is fair. No one wants to be left holding the bag #UTedChat

tfenton84 Apr 6 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@missplott @GraniteSchools No way! That is incredible! Serious BWG. #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:10 PM EDT

I like that. We need to think about how to distribute the workload among Ss. #utedchat https://t.co/Ar2Yos694a

tfenton84 Apr 6 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1 I like group work when the division of labor is fair. No one wants to be left holding the bag #UTedChat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:10 PM EDT

Brady Farr, ASD Instructional Coach, #UTedchat

missplott Apr 6 @ 11:11 PM EDT

@tfenton84 they didn't allow electronics so they took a Polaroid picture 😂 this was probably 2006?! First year teaching! Crazy. #UTedChat

tfenton84 Apr 6 @ 11:11 PM EDT

Agreed. I think having roles can really help Ss with this. #UTedChat https://t.co/Jfle8GdyXf

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:10 PM EDT

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:12 PM EDT

Question #2 coming in one minute… #utedchat

sandeeteach Apr 6 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@tfenton84 Giving kids specific jobs helps- it's not fair to kids who tend to do most of the work or on the opposite end as well #utedchat

covili - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:12 PM EDT

I'd say Twitter took off for me once I realized this is the greatest group work project around! #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:12 PM EDT

I just did a presentation today where one member of the group (not me) did most of the work. Oops. #utedchat https://t.co/RiCU4Erbu2

sandeeteach Apr 6 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@tfenton84 Giving kids specific jobs helps- it's not fair to kids who tend to do most of the work or on the opposite end as well #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:13 PM EDT

Q2: What kinds of activities or lessons in your classroom lend themselves to Group Work? #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A1 Group work- enjoy learning/collaborating with others #UTedchat

tfenton84 Apr 6 @ 11:13 PM EDT

Absolutely, @sandeeteach. #UTedChat https://t.co/esL3NHNz8Q

sandeeteach Apr 6 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@tfenton84 Giving kids specific jobs helps- it's not fair to kids who tend to do most of the work or on the opposite end as well #utedchat

sandeeteach Apr 6 @ 11:14 PM EDT

A2 Team building activities are great for building team spirit- a lot of vocab activities too #utedchat

DaniKSloan Apr 6 @ 11:14 PM EDT

A2: Creation and innovation type projects. The more hands, the better! #utedchat

missplott Apr 6 @ 11:15 PM EDT

A2: my classroom was set up in tables to facilitate group work all day long. Math, reading, science, etc. multiple heads r better #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:15 PM EDT

A2: I do a lit circles slash daily 5 blend where Ss have responsibilities and roles within their groups. #utedchat

ckirgan5 Apr 6 @ 11:15 PM EDT

A2 Social Studies projects, Science experiments and some math activities work well for groups in my room #UTedChat

covili - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:15 PM EDT

A2 Writing circles are tailor made for group work. Such a great way to have students bounce ideas off of one another. #UTedChat

tfenton84 Apr 6 @ 11:15 PM EDT

A2: A lot of my colleagues @lennoxherd use reciprocal teaching with reading comprehension. #UTedChat

sandeeteach Apr 6 @ 11:15 PM EDT

@DaniKSloan Cardboard challenge is really fun- I let the kids choose whether to work in groups or by themselves #utedchat

profbutcher Apr 6 @ 11:16 PM EDT

A2. Authentic activities that require multiple views and shared effort. Real projects need real teams! #utedchat

sandeeteach Apr 6 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@covili I think I know what writing circles are but not sure- Can you explain? #utedchat

profbutcher Apr 6 @ 11:16 PM EDT

Sorry I'm late to the party! Kirsten Butcher from @IDETProgram at the U #utedchat

tfenton84 Apr 6 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung is that similar to Socratic circles or seminars? #UTedChat https://t.co/cMtYjl9Yx7

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:15 PM EDT

A2: I do a lit circles slash daily 5 blend where Ss have responsibilities and roles within their groups. #utedchat

MichelleOReed Apr 6 @ 11:17 PM EDT

A2: Lego League is my favorite group work activity! #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@profbutcher and real time. As a new teacher, I didn't appreciate how much time group work took. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:17 PM EDT

A2- Having Ss work through story problems- give them limited information- require them to ask questions/critically think/analyze #Utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:17 PM EDT

Uh, yup. This. #utedchat https://t.co/KfWbdAuAmq

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:17 PM EDT

A2- Having Ss work through story problems- give them limited information- require them to ask questions/critically think/analyze #Utedchat

covili - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@sandeeteach In my class writing circles is how we handled our peer reviews for student writing. Each Ss had a specific focus. #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@tfenton84 Not sure. Lit sands for literature circles, where in primary grades kids read a shared text with defined roles. #utedchat

profbutcher Apr 6 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung Right! Good practice to have frequent check-ins and to monitor process and progress ... helping if needed. #utedchat

sandeeteach Apr 6 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@covili Got it! I like to do that too! It's much easier for 5th grade kiddos to focus on one area for proofreading/feedback #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:20 PM EDT

Question #3 coming in one minute… #utedchat

CordovaScience Apr 6 @ 11:20 PM EDT

A1. I like working with a group but having my own role defined that I can complete successfully with or without collaboration. #UTedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:21 PM EDT

Q3: How do you identify Ss that are struggling with content during group work? #utedchat

DaniKSloan Apr 6 @ 11:22 PM EDT

A3: I like having students check in with a exit ticket or google form with what they've done and their plan for the next steps. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:23 PM EDT

Hello all, Derek from @washk12 checking in a little late to #UTedChat. I was trapped in the land of "Walmart" & it was crazy!

DaniKSloan Apr 6 @ 11:23 PM EDT

A3: Part 2: Then I'm able to make a plan for who needs some one on one time during the next class period. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:23 PM EDT

@missplott Idea came from fellow teacher-colleauges are some of our greatest resources if we are willing to visit classrooms/learn #Utedchat

bethtannerslc Apr 6 @ 11:23 PM EDT

A3: Conferencing with each group and "floating" during work time. Asking great q's. Also the "look of the lost" is a giveaway #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:24 PM EDT

@sandeeteach No glitter allowed during #UTedChat Sandy! It is strictly forbidden in the bylaws!

tfenton84 Apr 6 @ 11:24 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung thanks for clarifying. They do sound similar. #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:24 PM EDT

@tfenton84 Sounds like I need to learn about these. #utedchat

profbutcher Apr 6 @ 11:24 PM EDT

A3. Meeting and discussing work with each group. It becomes obvious pretty quickly when one student is confused or coasting. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:25 PM EDT

A1 I prefer both individual & group work. I think it depends on the assignment and WHO is in my group. #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:26 PM EDT

I am actually quite an #introvert although most people don't believe me. I think the term is Extroverted Introvert. #UTedChat

tfenton84 Apr 6 @ 11:26 PM EDT

@profbutcher I was thinking the same thing. Off task behavior is a big clue #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:26 PM EDT

@lars3eb No, that makes sense. #utedchat

crossleyjs Apr 6 @ 11:27 PM EDT

Just jumping in after getting the kids to bed. Jared Crossley, 4th grade teacher in Alpine. #UTedChat

CordovaScience Apr 6 @ 11:27 PM EDT

A2. In my rm we are always working together on projects. The most successful ones begin with an organization sheet. #UTedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:27 PM EDT

Question #4 coming in one minute… #utedchat

ckirgan5 Apr 6 @ 11:27 PM EDT

A3 I try to check in with each group for a few min each day. Ss in groups with strugglers also report to me problems. #UTedChat

downrightdave - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:27 PM EDT

@lars3eb I'm an introvert too! #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:28 PM EDT

Q4: What are some reources you use for individualized learning? #utedchat

amorrill Apr 6 @ 11:28 PM EDT

I took a group dynamics class for my psych undergrad, and it was a hot mess #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:28 PM EDT

A2 I like to have my Ss work on simple projects to begin where each does an assigned part. Then as the year goes more involved. #UTedChat

downrightdave - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:28 PM EDT

@lars3eb I have had a lot of group assignments that I have hated doing in school, yet I love working in groups. Kind of weird. #UTedChat

MrJFawson Apr 6 @ 11:28 PM EDT

@bethtannerslc either look of the lost or the totally off task look #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:28 PM EDT

A4: For example, I've been fond of FrontRowEd as a way to give Ss individualized instruction tailored to their needs. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:28 PM EDT

I also like to have my Ss do very open-ended assignments so they can really spread their wings a little. #UTedChat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:29 PM EDT

A3 Being mobile T, Ss "deer in headlights", are non engaged, knowing Ss/relationship is huge #UTedchat

crossleyjs Apr 6 @ 11:29 PM EDT

A4- paper and pencil #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:29 PM EDT

@missplott I can totally see that. If I can choose my group then I'm more excited about group work, but do like indy stuff. #UTedChat

downrightdave - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:29 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung A4: I love @spellingcity for spelling, @ProdigyGame for math. #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:30 PM EDT

@downrightdave No weird at all. Working in a group but doing your own thing is a great assignment. Brainstorm then indy-time. #UTedChat

MrJFawson Apr 6 @ 11:30 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung What does FrontRowEd do? #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:30 PM EDT

@downrightdave Is @prodigygame too gamey? It seems kind of DOK1ish. Thoughts? #utedchat

RachelT_ASD Apr 6 @ 11:30 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung Is that similar to ClassKick? Can you see all student screens? #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:30 PM EDT

@covili @sandeeteach Not sure that I'm familiar with the term "writing circles" Jared. What is it? #UTedChat

downrightdave - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:30 PM EDT

@MrJFawson @mrlewisyoung I've tried FrontRow a little, but most of my kids didn't take to it. #utedchat

CordovaScience Apr 6 @ 11:31 PM EDT

A3. I agree. Movement around the room and questioning is so important. #UTedChat https://t.co/v17KM2HBUb

bethtannerslc Apr 6 @ 11:23 PM EDT

A3: Conferencing with each group and "floating" during work time. Asking great q's. Also the "look of the lost" is a giveaway #UTedChat

downrightdave - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:31 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung It is gamey, but they are willing to answer hundreds of questions a week unassigned. @prodigygame #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:31 PM EDT

@mrjfawson FrontRow gives Ss a suggested domain in Math, and provides them with videos and tutorials to help find holes #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:31 PM EDT

A3 That tends to be difficult for me. Partially why I like to have heterogeneous groups so the Ss can help each other too. #UTedChat

profbutcher Apr 6 @ 11:32 PM EDT

A4: I give choices on topics and emphasize creativity (e.g., creating images, videos). No matter what, LOTS of personal feedback #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:32 PM EDT

@RachelT_ASD It isn't. Does ClassKick work on chromebooks? #utedchat

downrightdave - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:32 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung Most DOK1, but gives great practice and we can do the higher stuff in class once they have the basics. @prodigygame #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:32 PM EDT

A3.2 I guess I just walk around a lot & ask LOTS of questions so no one feels like they can hide out. They have to all explain. #UTedChat

MrJFawson Apr 6 @ 11:32 PM EDT

A4 Always felt that allowing for creativity in assignments or projects was one way to allow for individualization #UTedChat

missplott Apr 6 @ 11:32 PM EDT

A4: I love @XtraMath_US. Starting to explore prodigy and front row but not too familiar with them yet. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:33 PM EDT

@downrightdave @MrJFawson @mrlewisyoung A few of the 1st year Ts I work with have used it and had some successes/wins #UTedchat

bethtannerslc Apr 6 @ 11:33 PM EDT

A4: Trying to utilize :ST Math, Starfall, and SpellingCity on iPads. #UTedChat

MrJFawson Apr 6 @ 11:33 PM EDT

@profbutcher just read your response after posting mine, apparently we think a like on this subject #UTedChat

covili - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:34 PM EDT

A4 Liked giving kids a chance for individual learning with silent reading - then moved to groups to share themes from books. #UTedChat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:34 PM EDT

@lars3eb Explaining their reasoning/thinking is huge- good for you. #UTedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:34 PM EDT

A4 I know my district is big into using Schoology, but I can't seem to get into that game yet. I wanna try something else. #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Apr 6 @ 11:34 PM EDT

A4: I like being able to give students a choice in final project as well as different instructions depending on need using an LMS. #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:34 PM EDT

@downrightdave That's what I feel lots of the individualized stuff is like. It fills the practice void reform based math leaves #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:35 PM EDT

@FarrBfarr Thanks Brady. It's not always easy & I'm not nearly patient enough, but I'm getting there. #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:35 PM EDT

@lars3eb There's a lot of value to the question, "What else?" #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:36 PM EDT

Question #5 coming in one minute… #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:36 PM EDT

My biggest concern is the funding. We aren't a Title 1 school so we don't have the funds for lots of programs. Makes it tough. #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:36 PM EDT

@lars3eb I liked this, but I don't like it. #utedchat

RachelT_ASD Apr 6 @ 11:36 PM EDT

@MrJFawson I agree. I love https://t.co/YNZi5uSZAp which talks about learner-focused classrooms. Great visual #utedchat

profbutcher Apr 6 @ 11:36 PM EDT

A4. We tried out https://t.co/VXyX1uEDsv this year. Pretty cool tool for creating personalized learning paths and feedback #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:37 PM EDT

@lars3eb Time/Patience/Pacing- a balancing act #UTedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:37 PM EDT

@downrightdave @mrlewisyoung @ProdigyGame If I get rid of my individual spelling lists I may try @SpellingCity. Not yet though. #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:37 PM EDT

Q5: What kinds of success/failures have you had with individualized learning? #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:37 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung You and me both Lewis. It's hard teaching in a "have-not" school. Makes me upset there's such a funds split. #UTedChat

cherisemcb Apr 6 @ 11:38 PM EDT

@shannonjin_a @participatelrn #UTedChat happens at 8pm PST, after our #MUSEDigPed class

MrJFawson Apr 6 @ 11:38 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung A5 Some Ss think its the greatest thing ever and really take off with the choices and creativity #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Apr 6 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A5: Individual might be impossible unless your class size is one... But in my experience differentiation for groups works well! #utedchat

CordovaScience Apr 6 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A4: Feedback and choices when possible. If choices aren't possible scaffold and offer supports. #UTedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:38 PM EDT

@RachelT_ASD @MrJFawson Love that diagram- actually sent it to my Ts a few weeks ago-key concepts/principles #UTedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:39 PM EDT

@MrJFawson That's a great way to allow for #StudentChoice and individualization! I bet you did TONS of that in the class. #UTedChat

downrightdave - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:39 PM EDT

@lars3eb @mrlewisyoung @ProdigyGame @SpellingCity You can have individual spelling lists, actually works great for that. #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:39 PM EDT

@downrightdave @mrlewisyoung @ProdigyGame @SpellingCity But then I'd have to create them for each kid, right? #UTedChat

profbutcher Apr 6 @ 11:40 PM EDT

A5. Takes a lot of time, energy, reflection to make learning paths well-suited to different knowledge levels but still deep #utedchat

amorrill Apr 6 @ 11:40 PM EDT

A5 successes are when students are so excited to show me their work #utedchat

RachelT_ASD Apr 6 @ 11:40 PM EDT

Q5: Best success w/PBL. Ss have voice & choice & I had to be quiet. : ) Takes scaffolding & good planning though. #PBL #utedchat

downrightdave - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:40 PM EDT

@lars3eb @mrlewisyoung @ProdigyGame @SpellingCity They can always type them in, if premium they can save their own lists. #UTedChat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:40 PM EDT

@lars3eb @mrlewisyoung With being a coach at 4 schools, it's interesting to see what "resources" various schools have #UTedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:41 PM EDT

A5 My biggest failure is access to the tools I need. We aren't 1:1 & we share 3 chromebook carts amongst 750+ students. #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:41 PM EDT

@downrightdave @mrlewisyoung @ProdigyGame @SpellingCity May have to look into that. I always tell my Ps about it so they can use. #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:42 PM EDT

@lars3eb In one of my fav TED talks, @rec54 talks about how he hopes our children think the idea of a comp lab as silly. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:42 PM EDT

@bethtannerslc Sounds like we are in similar situations. It's sad b/c some are VERY affluent yet others are def not. #UTedChat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:43 PM EDT

@lars3eb #UTedchat https://t.co/T9nvqsNRpd

lvanleeuwen67 Apr 6 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A1: I also feel group work can be great but can leave some coming out on bottom with all the work. How can that change? #UTedChat

tfenton84 Apr 6 @ 11:43 PM EDT

@lars3eb Yikes. That must take some serious scheduling to manage 3 carts w that many Ss. Lab access?#utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:44 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung @rec54 I agree with that idea, except when that comp lab is one of the ONLY ways to get tech time. #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:44 PM EDT

@FarrBfarr @lars3eb Begs the question, why didn't they pay admission into the game? #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:44 PM EDT

@tfenton84 I set up a couple of @YouCanBookMe calendars so it's not too bad unless people don't put the cart back when done. #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:44 PM EDT

@lars3eb Right. The idea is Ss would think, "you stopped learning to go learn somewhere else? That's dumb" #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:45 PM EDT

@RachelT_ASD @gcouros He's one I recently came across-love reading his work! #UTedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:45 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung It is totally dumb. I would love to see a situation where every 1-3 classes shared a set of devices. #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:46 PM EDT

Question #6 coming in one minute #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:46 PM EDT

@lars3eb With our weird schedule in Alpine, I like the idea of going 1:1 during small-group, 2:1 during whole-group. #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:47 PM EDT

Q6: What do you do during group work for Ss that aren’t understanding? #utedchat

RachelT_ASD Apr 6 @ 11:47 PM EDT

@FarrBfarr Here's the link w/the Sketchnote: https://t.co/kZFursc9gC Love @sylviaduckworth's talent in creating visuals. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:47 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung And that is something I think is AMAZING! Almost makes me want to come teach for @Karkenkam, almost. #UTedChat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:48 PM EDT

@RachelT_ASD @sylviaduckworth Awesome- thank you! #UTedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A6 Ideally that is a great time to pull them aside & give them a little 1:1 help so they can understand. #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Apr 6 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A6: Have another student try explaining the instructions/concept. Sometimes we don't understand what they aren't understanding. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A6.2 Maybe even have 1 group that is created for the role of intervention. That way they are still working but also catching up. #UTedChat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A6 Extra scaffolding/support-work one-on-one if needed #UTedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:49 PM EDT

@RachelT_ASD @FarrBfarr I agree Rachel, @sylviaduckworth is an amazing artist w/ her #Sketchnotes! #UTedChat

@DaniKSloan great point, Ss can sometimes be way more effective than Ts saying the same thing over and over to a blank stare #utedchat

A like was not enough. I love this idea!#UTedChat https://t.co/uRglerdpgZ

A6.2 Maybe even have 1 group that is created for the role of intervention. That way they are still working but also catching up. #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:50 PM EDT

@DaniKSloan I love to have students help each other during group wok for that very reason Dani! You are on fire! #UTedChat

lvanleeuwen67 Apr 6 @ 11:51 PM EDT

I agree with @DaniKSloan. Also teaching is a great way to understand a concept. It will help the student whos teaching as well. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:51 PM EDT

@tfenton84 Thanks Tricia, that means a lot! #UTedChat

missplott Apr 6 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A6: mixed ability levels at all tables so Ss can help strugglers. Also pull some to my small table if reteach is necessary #utedchat

RachelT_ASD Apr 6 @ 11:51 PM EDT

@DaniKSloan Love that. Sometimes I thought I was so clear but hearing it from another student makes it better. #UTedChat

tfenton84 Apr 6 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@lars3eb calling it like I see it. Thanks for the great idea! #UTedChat

bethtannerslc Apr 6 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6: I like to group on social roles/personality to include a motivator, a thinker, a questioner, planner, doer, etc. #UTedChat

A6. Allowing resubmission of assignments based on feedback. Students often "get it" and excel after an attempt and support #utedchat

Great thoughts @lvanleeuwen67! Be sure to add #UTedChat so everyone can see it too! https://t.co/QdPks57fUT

lvanleeuwen67 Apr 6 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@missplott I love this. There is power in group work. It brings the classroom together and creates an accepting environment @UTedChat

lvanleeuwen67 Apr 6 @ 11:55 PM EDT

A4 when allowing students to put in their own thought and creativity allows them to feel more involved and devoted to their work. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:55 PM EDT

@RachelT_ASD @DaniKSloan Ss are a "resources/tools" we don't utilize at times #UTedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:55 PM EDT

@profbutcher Sounds like a "standards based approach" vs a traditional grades. You care more that they understand it, not the A #utedchat

MrJFawson Apr 6 @ 11:56 PM EDT

@profbutcher Such an imp point. All too often that 'final' is just that and doesn't allow for more learning/teaching to take place #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:56 PM EDT

Q7: What do you do during group work with Ss that already understand what is being taught? #utedchat

DaniKSloan Apr 6 @ 11:56 PM EDT

Goodnight, #utedchat friends! My dachshund's snoring is beginning to interfere with my ability to tweet! Great chat, @mrlewisyoung!

downrightdave - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:56 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung That's not a bad way to go with our schedule. I'm really really lucky at my school. #UTedChat

FarrBfarr Apr 6 @ 11:57 PM EDT

@profbutcher Love that- understanding more important than time frame/attempts - a "grade" #UTedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A7.2 GW helps Ts answer the Qs: What is taught, how are you assessing, what to do with non-learners, and what with already know. #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A7: I feel like group work done well can naturally lend itself to extend learning. This is why groupwork is so powerful. #utedchat

RachelT_ASD Apr 6 @ 11:57 PM EDT

@FarrBfarr @DaniKSloan Agreed! So much potential if we just design it so they have a voice & create the culture for it to be heard #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A7 Ideally that would be time for interventions & maybe even #geniushour projects. I'm not the best in this area though. #UTedChat

profbutcher Apr 6 @ 11:57 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung Absolutely. I tell students (truthfully) that I care a lot more about what they learn over time vs the first try! #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Apr 6 @ 11:57 PM EDT

@DaniKSloan @mrlewisyoung Laters Dani! #UTedChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 6 @ 11:57 PM EDT

@DaniKSloan Thanks for joining in! Your insight was brilliant. #utedchat

DaniKSloan Apr 6 @ 11:57 PM EDT

I love allowing students to resubmit for full credit; however, when they don't take me up on the offer.. 😑 #utedchat https://t.co/Nj6pamZWDf

@mrlewisyoung A7 give them opportunity to dig deeper, have them consider a different perspective, let them teach #utedchat
