A1 Play often is limited to recess times at school, but I know we need to give them more time to just be kids (sans-digital play) #dojochat

This is why I love #dojochat we are all supportive of each other.

MrsASoto Aug 30 @ 7:05 PM EDT

A1 Play happens when Ss work in Maker Spaces. Also when working through the Engineering Process. Recess is also a great play time! #dojochat

smithstrws - Moderator Aug 30 @ 7:05 PM EDT

A1 Recess, @GoNoodle, role play, kickball tourneys, fundraiser runs, etc... #DojoChat

jenna_kleine Aug 30 @ 7:06 PM EDT

A1 - Play happens anywhere! Up to Ts to create a play environment! Sci activity? History? Math? Any topic can incorporate play #dojochat

I_teach_Pandas Aug 30 @ 7:06 PM EDT

MrsMagyar Aug 30 @ 7:06 PM EDT

Lets keep going with Q2 #DojoChat

MrsASoto Aug 30 @ 7:07 PM EDT

A2 There is a time and place for everything-play can occur in any class setting given the right circumstances. #dojochat

smithstrws - Moderator Aug 30 @ 7:07 PM EDT

A2 Play can happen anywhere at any time! In class, you definitely need to set boundaries, but it can still happen and be effective.#DojoChat

jenna_kleine Aug 30 @ 7:07 PM EDT

A2 - Play happens when Ss are free to have FUN while problem solving and working with their classmates. #dojochat

I_teach_Pandas Aug 30 @ 7:07 PM EDT

A1: Play happens mostly in PK or SPED classes #dojochat

CaitEileen_W Aug 30 @ 7:07 PM EDT

A2 Play can happen in any class, allows for creative problem solving! #dojochat

MrsMagyar Aug 30 @ 7:07 PM EDT

I agree with @jenna_kleine play happens everywhere. How do we get teachers to create that environment? #dojochat

TracyEdmisten Aug 30 @ 7:08 PM EDT

A2: Play can happen anywhere and anytime and sometimes the students don't even realize it! #dojochat

I_teach_Pandas Aug 30 @ 7:08 PM EDT

A2: Play should happen in every class at some point. Students need time to be creative, socialize, and have some fun #dojochat

MrsMagyar Aug 30 @ 7:08 PM EDT

Do you do this annually? If so how do you get staff buy in? #dojochat

In reply to @TracyEdmisten, @GSPlayDay

CaitEileen_W Aug 30 @ 7:09 PM EDT

I think support from admin helps. I was always worried to get caught "playing" when really it's part of learning! #dojochat

In reply to @MrsMagyar, @jenna_kleine

jenna_kleine Aug 30 @ 7:09 PM EDT

Baby steps. Start by incorporating play into 1 or 2 activities/day. Might be fear of noise/chaos, but soon Ts learn to embrace it! #dojochat

A8 #dojochat Transitions usually include a math Q&A while we're waiting and brain breaks are for relaxing or movement w/ mojo or @GoNoodle
