Created my student blogs today for first time. Excited to implement it into classes.

Keep rolling welcome back Mod woohoo Hey did anything change since R F2F convo? https://t.co/rat4M7pJvc
Rolling in a bit late but wanted to say Hi!
A5 I will love doing what I do that much more! Always need new challenges.
A5a In the Navy I discovered Robert E. Howard’s Conan. One book started out.. “He lived in a world undreamed of.”
A5 I struggle with the grit and grind of long goals, when I accomplish this goal I feel it will create a new personal mindset
A4. Hoping to help Ts see possibilities beyond the tech and the textbooks. What does a "designer mindset" really look like?
A5 Respecting iterative process will help me focus instruction for individual Ss, celebrate unique creativity, document growth
I do wonder if everyone is writing a book… what could I do instead :)
A5b That’s as concise as I can get. Learning through play, being like a child learning one oops at a time will get me ready for??
me too! Hey Kami. We need to catch up. We can meet in the middle. ;)
I loved the Marvel series in the 70s and 80s that were mostly adaptations/inspired bys of Howard originals
A5: Being at the front has allowed me to become a school/area/state leader in ed. Can't wait to see what another year does.
it feels like an epidemic --everyone I know on twitter is publishing
Woo Hoo! Love to hear what you're up to!
I like. Them making sense of you making sense. You making sense of their making sense. https://t.co/66leLesPoK
student paparazo (thx for that tip) & student led blogging/vid of class (thx crew for tht)
is on fire getting spammed
tho, you're right, we should be thinking outside of the box ;)
A5: must share DT and build capacity..especially want to focus on underserved communities and
Hopefully not crazy spam like this summer.
check out Nigel Cross on "Designerly Minded" students/learners. That's the mindset https://t.co/5Z3Z5m8Jt3
A4. Hoping to help Ts see possibilities beyond the tech and the textbooks. What does a "designer mindset" really look like?
I learned to read, in part, thanks to those 12 cent comics at the Piggly Wiggly on provisioning days w/parents
A5. Not so much about me, how will our Ss lives change? Better question.
A5 Not sure if change is the word I would use…. I am actually not going to go there YET
Let's work something out!
The best eds are connecting on Twitter! Probably not coincidence. :)
Q6 how can we as a community support your goal?
Q6 how can we as a community support your goal?

A5 Likely make some public mistakes - which, for me, feels like stepping off the flat table-edge of the world. But it's TIME.
Have this continue to be safe place to ask Qs, not know stuff & have it be okay.
plus books are soooo long
A6) cheer me on & continue to share resources & outlandish ideas; remind me to suspend judgement when brainstorming
I'm in Pittsburgh - I'd love a PA meetup! Maybe Hershey or Bedford!? might be down
That’s why there’s Design Dots.
hey dan. i know you are out there. :)
A6) I love to connect DT-thinking Ts with other DT-thinking Ts.
being ok with not knowing!!!! Took me too long. Shld hv listened to Socrates https://t.co/zudpBBUz5j
Have this continue to be safe place to ask Qs, not know stuff & have it be okay.
We are about 5 minutes away from closing. Let's commit to keep the conversation going after chat; email, GHO, face2face
when Ss "fall in love with learning about what matters to them" it's a great start for their lifelong learning!
this community was a safe place for me to do that when my school wasn’t.
Strike that is the I hope to meet in person
This year remember to take time for yourself, find and share your voice. Sometimes we have to be selfish
I know I'm out here too ?
ohhh... that's not a bad idea. has a more "empathyish" feel
the community for this very reason. https://t.co/mMhgr4srR3
this community was a safe place for me to do that when my school wasn’t.
STL checking in! A6) staying positive, giving shout outs, connecting with each other in real life when possible
This. DT as a liberative tool. [sighing/bowing] https://t.co/2xzf45CS0z
A5: must share DT and build capacity..especially want to focus on underserved communities and
oh yeah-that makes sense for supporting
https://t.co/wv2LXN3t2T
when Ss "fall in love with learning about what matters to them" it's a great start for their lifelong learning!
Hey, when did you get here? ;)
just another angle that can be created in real time
going to write a book you will for sure want to read, maybe with you in it
As we close out remember to follow new friends you met tonight and come back next week same time, same hashtag. Good night
