A2: Love Call-to-Action problems. What’s something you’re concerned about? Now, what are you going to do about it? #MTedchat

HoffmannClass Aug 9 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2: I had my speech and debate class run for governor of a fictional state. That was SO FUN. #MTedchat

HoffmannClass Aug 9 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A2: Ss had to research issues and debate them. Also let them know that in a rural state like ours, they have a voice. #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Aug 9 @ 10:19 PM EDT

Completely agree. We're all a bit 'programmed' w/traditions of school. Kids have trouble making shift too. #MTedchat https://t.co/zM656aHRXX

jdoss417 Aug 9 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@cristama meaningful is the one I often struggle with. Ss need to have experiences other than turning items in to me!

ChouinardJahant Aug 9 @ 10:19 PM EDT

#MTedchat I have a makerspace & Ss create an item and use it to prove they know the standard. I give no clues how. https://t.co/xxqd3g6hv9

cristama - Moderator Aug 9 @ 10:15 PM EDT

Q2b: How do you use problem-based learning to authenticate learning in your classroom? #MTedchat

jdoss417 Aug 9 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2: problem-based is a natural hook-most Ss enjoy a challenge-great to teach growth mindset, learning through frustration/mistakes #MTedchat

HoffmannClass Aug 9 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A2: Will also do a banned books unit this year where Ss will research why a book was banned, and if they agree with it or not. #MTedchat

AcemtAndrea Aug 9 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A2 I think transfer is the key aspect...Ss do live in a real world, but need to learn how to transfer learning to new contexts #mtedchat

HoffmannClass Aug 9 @ 10:21 PM EDT

I try and get Ss to think critically and come to their own conclusions, not just accept what someone (even Ts) tell them. #MTedchat

ChouinardJahant Aug 9 @ 10:21 PM EDT

#MTedchat @HoffmannClass cool. I have Ss take role of organelle and debate whose job is mist important & why. https://t.co/o0NHkwO6F6

HoffmannClass Aug 9 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2: I had my speech and debate class run for governor of a fictional state. That was SO FUN. #MTedchat

HoffmannClass Aug 9 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Also, the banned books unit includes a "Box of Doom" that I will share when it's finished. So excited! #MTedchat

ChouinardJahant Aug 9 @ 10:22 PM EDT

#MTedchat @jdoss417 So true. Setting the right mindset opens Ss up for discovery & creation. https://t.co/xuHnmMiXDS

@TriSciCurious I KNOW! It’s been so long! Can’t wait for #ECET2MT #MTedchat

jdoss417 Aug 9 @ 10:29 PM EDT

A3: sharing with school/community when we have completed an activity, pictures are a great way to communicate the learning process #MTedchat

AcemtAndrea Aug 9 @ 10:29 PM EDT

A3 risk-taking has to be embraced for active inquiry to occur among both Ts and Ss..so a safe environment is key #mtedchat

A3 I think a lot of times we want to give answers but we rob S of chance to think their way through something That's not authentic #MTedchat

ChouinardJahant Aug 9 @ 10:30 PM EDT

#MTedchat True learning comes from inquiry. From challenging yourself to take risks & fail & retry & succeed. https://t.co/vqJ9sBRb72

@HoffmannClass They EAT it up! But, yes, it takes time. Consistency is key. #MTedchat

#mtedchat Will your kids learn “in color” this year? https://t.co/BlMrI8q5Tf

HoffmannClass Aug 9 @ 10:51 PM EDT

@TriSciCurious I do a lot with novels (Ss read A LOT in my class) so, would like something to work alongside those if possible. #MTedchat

@johnccarver We're going to work on #emotional literacy & #passion in leadership class this year! #mtedchat https://t.co/y16FGGNDPQ

@jdoss417 I honestly think the spread of Pokemon Go will help build momentum with all gamified elements of learning. Timely trend #mtedchat

My online kids like icivics games @icivics. Real live five voting presidential race laws courts #MTedchat

@NiemeyerMr Hedbanz is a classic! Works for all grades so many subjects! Our MS T has the giant Jenga game—kind of scary :) #MTedchat

@jpk38 did a presentation on simple gaming in classes using cards etc. it was interesting #MTedchat

NiemeyerMr Aug 9 @ 10:55 PM EDT

A5) To me, gamification is more about engaging kids - trick with games is getting ALL engaged; "teams" is really only "smart" ones #MTedchat

TriSciCurious - Moderator Aug 9 @ 10:55 PM EDT

A6: Blogging to authentic audiences. #MTedchat

A6 It wouldn’t be #MTedchat if I didn’t mention how much I LOVE student blogging w/ @EasyblogDotOrg !!

stony12270 Aug 9 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A5: Also exploring Minecraft. This S built the library in it! #mtedchat https://t.co/c7wRfJk0gw

kinsey80 Aug 9 @ 10:57 PM EDT

A7. We did an engineering day where people game and set up experiments for ss. It was really good. They learned and applied. #MTedchat

jdoss417 Aug 9 @ 10:57 PM EDT

A6: collaborating with specialists: music, art, PE, etc. It shows Ss that ELA, math, etc. is everywhere! #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Aug 9 @ 10:57 PM EDT

A6: The most authentic experiences I've offered students tend to take us out of class...digitally, physically. Solution oriented. #mtedchat

HoffmannClass Aug 9 @ 10:57 PM EDT

A6: Presentations are great for authentic learning, I think. Show class what they've learned, everyone takes part. #MTedchat

ChouinardJahant Aug 9 @ 10:57 PM EDT

#MTedchat Ss act out parts of digestion-motions and all. Modeling with sounds and movement is visual & collaborative https://t.co/oBhE99w2bh

Here is my Giant Jenga for primary - blocks need to be colored on ends and ALL Ss solve for every block pulled out by everyone #MTedchat

triciafreyes Aug 9 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@cristama there are choices everywhere-I teach my Ss how to find them-- a word, a wonder, a wander in a daydream, then we create!

ChouinardJahant Aug 9 @ 10:59 PM EDT

#MTedchat An interactive word wall where Ss create and add artifacts is also very engaging & authentic. https://t.co/oBhE99w2bh
