Q1 What do you see as being the most critical 21st Century skills for students to learn? #swivlchat

bigtechcoach May 24 @ 3:38 PM EDT

A1: Critical thinking, but I like to include Computational Thinking #SwivlChat

EmilyMerritt - Moderator May 24 @ 3:38 PM EDT

A1 I love the 4C's that Jeremy shared: (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity) #SwivlChat

BallroomMentor May 24 @ 3:38 PM EDT

@goswivl Can I use IPAD and various mobile device simultaneously for groups? #swivlchat

RecapThat May 24 @ 3:38 PM EDT

yes, you can use up to 5 smart devices to record small groups. #SwivlChat

A1: I really loved that kids need "to know what to do when they don't know what to do." @jas_pirate @goswivl #swivlchat

historyhistory4 May 24 @ 3:39 PM EDT

A1) Problem Solving/Critical Thinking; Ss can overcome any challenge or obstacle. A growth mindset is key as well. #swivlchat

goswivl - Moderator May 24 @ 3:40 PM EDT

Q2 What are some ways you encourage the 4Cs in your students? (communication, collaboration, critical thinking, creativity) #swivlchat

EmilyMerritt - Moderator May 24 @ 3:40 PM EDT

I think this is great too! Such a valuable skill, not just in school, but everywhere in life #SwivlChat

Even if it means using apple and android at the same time? #swivlchat

In reply to @RecapThat, @goswivl

goswivl - Moderator May 24 @ 3:41 PM EDT

yes, they just need to be running Swivl+ and enter the same join code #SwivlChat

MsLaurenMertz May 24 @ 3:41 PM EDT

How do I make this work? We have one Swivl robot in our district (that doesn't work). How can I get others to join me? #swivlchat

EmilyMerritt - Moderator May 24 @ 3:41 PM EDT

Computational thinking, that's really cool, I've never heard that used before! #SwivlChat

bigtechcoach May 24 @ 3:38 PM EDT

A1: Critical thinking, but I like to include Computational Thinking #SwivlChat

bigtechcoach May 24 @ 3:41 PM EDT

A2: Establish the norm that Ss are learning more than facts! Inquiry-based, PBL, hands-on, etc. #SwivlChat

lisahaydenz May 24 @ 3:42 PM EDT

Q2 choice - without choice creativity doesn't happen, we want to develop "programmers" not "printers" #swivlchat

A2: Encourage Critical Thinking by answering student questions with your own questions...HOT Questions #Swivlchat

EmilyMerritt - Moderator May 24 @ 3:45 PM EDT

"Programmers" not "printers", that's a great way to describe the shift we're seeing in our focus in education! #21stcenturyskills #SwivlChat

Q3 How do you lessen the fear of failure in your classroom? #swivlchat

MsLaurenMertz May 24 @ 3:47 PM EDT

Q3: I model by trying things in front of Ss for the first time. They get to see how I problem solve with their help. #Swivlchat

goswivl - Moderator May 24 @ 3:45 PM EDT

Q3 How do you lessen the fear of failure in your classroom? #swivlchat

historyhistory4 May 24 @ 3:48 PM EDT

A2) CHOICE! I want Ss to CREATE not just consume. And stress the importance of the process over the product. #swivlchat

EmilyMerritt - Moderator May 24 @ 3:48 PM EDT

A3 I love #PBL for this, it shifts the focus on the problem being solved, or the project's goals, not on succeeding or failing #SwivlChat

bigtechcoach May 24 @ 3:48 PM EDT

A3: Failure is a requirement! FAIL= First Attempt At Learning Help Ss accept that no one gets it right 1st time. FAIL= Real Life #SwivlChat

lisahaydenz May 24 @ 3:49 PM EDT

A3 Check, fix, figure. What did I do wrong and why. Seeing that the errors are where the learning potential is. #swivlchat

jas_pirate - Moderator May 24 @ 3:49 PM EDT

A3: There must be a culture of mutual respect. Ts respect Ss and Ss respect other Ss. #Swivlchat

goswivl - Moderator May 24 @ 3:50 PM EDT

Q4 How do you help student groups take advantage of their individual personalities? #swivlchat

jas_pirate - Moderator May 24 @ 3:50 PM EDT

A3: Also, Ts must not be afraid for Ss to them fail #Swivlchat

EmilyMerritt - Moderator May 24 @ 3:50 PM EDT

So much yes!! Love it! #SwivlChat

A3: Failure is a requirement! FAIL= First Attempt At Learning Help Ss accept that no one gets it right 1st time. FAIL= Real Life #SwivlChat

bigtechcoach May 24 @ 3:51 PM EDT

A4: Create that respectful/safe environment that mimics the workplace. This is a critical skill that Ss will need forever #SwivlChat

historyhistory4 May 24 @ 3:51 PM EDT

A3)multiple chances; this is why I love gamification in education. Share personal stories of failure. Nurture the growth mindset. #swivlchat

EmilyMerritt - Moderator May 24 @ 3:51 PM EDT

Totally agree, the "why" is so important here #SwivlChat

lisahaydenz May 24 @ 3:49 PM EDT

A3 Check, fix, figure. What did I do wrong and why. Seeing that the errors are where the learning potential is. #swivlchat

EmilyMerritt - Moderator May 24 @ 3:54 PM EDT

A4 I think each S understanding their own personality first, and the strengths and challenges of it is key #SwivlChat

goswivl - Moderator May 24 @ 3:55 PM EDT

Q5 What role does reflection play in your students' learning? #swivlchat

historyhistory4 May 24 @ 3:56 PM EDT

A4) Help Ss see their own value/worth. Allow independent time/work prior to contributing to the group. Feedback, not just grades #swivlchat

bigtechcoach May 24 @ 3:56 PM EDT

A5: This is how you point out those 4Cs, Ss may not realize all that went in to the group effort to build a rocket, point it out. #SwivlChat

MsLaurenMertz May 24 @ 3:58 PM EDT

Even when it turned into an observation from the principal. #swivlchat

In reply to @jas_pirate

lisahaydenz May 24 @ 3:58 PM EDT

Q5 this is key. Completing work, marking it and moving on has very little scope to make progress. Exploring the + & - is crucial #swivlchat

historyhistory4 May 24 @ 3:58 PM EDT

A5)Ss may not realize how much effort or skill they applied during the process. Helps Ss understand & improve their own thinking. #swivlchat

goswivl - Moderator May 24 @ 4:00 PM EDT

Thank you all for joining us for @jas_pirate's webinar and #swivlchat! We'd love to hear from you if you have more Qs!

MsLaurenMertz May 24 @ 4:01 PM EDT

A5: Reflection is where the most powerful learning happens. Both for Ss and Ts. #swivlchat

lisahaydenz May 24 @ 4:01 PM EDT

Have to go and teach my class here down under now. (It's 8am in NZ) Thanks all. Party hard! #swivlchat

MsLaurenMertz May 24 @ 4:03 PM EDT

Mine does. She doesn't want to see the dog and pony show. She wants to see true learning. I'm very fortunate. #swivlchat
