Hi! Trying to #learnlap with my cell. Pam, special ed & personalized learning teacher. Charleston, SC.

historycomics Feb 29 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1 every day! My students sit in big desks of four - everything is pair/share and collaboration (except for the occasional test) #LearnLAP

aj_hartley1 Feb 29 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1: The key now is to make it global collaboration! #LearnLAP So much diff. than even 10 years ago!

YandellsPlace Feb 29 @ 8:08 PM EST

@MrsNewellsMath always the same groups? #LearnLAP

KimberlyOnak1 Feb 29 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1: For each class I try to work in collaboration each day. Being 1:1 & Chromebooks helps Ss w/collaboration. #LearnLAP

burgessdave Feb 29 @ 8:08 PM EST

Join #LearnLAP going on right now and then LEAP into #tlap at 8CST! I bet you can't guess the theme for tonight!

mrterborg Feb 29 @ 8:08 PM EST

@mashupmath But isn't this what grades are supposed to do? #learnlap

mashupmath Feb 29 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: I incorporate collaborative work at least half the time. I love the benefits, but also want Ss to learn to work independently. #learnlap

MrBaskwill Feb 29 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: Everyday. Some groups might be 2, others 5 - but the option is always there #LearnLAP

PaulSolarz - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: Collaborative group work is nearly everything we do. It can make assessment harder but is another opportunity for Ss to learn! #LearnLAP

ReidunLee Feb 29 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: A lot! Ss are given instruction on open-ended questions. follow-up questions, showing interest, etc. Ss are always improving. #LearnLAP

YandellsPlace Feb 29 @ 8:10 PM EST

Q2 coming up in 1 minute! #LearnLAP

aj_hartley1 Feb 29 @ 8:10 PM EST

@YandellsPlace Indeed- I was excited to have a VCR and TV back in the day. The room gets bigger with tech! #LearnLAP

pjcerullo Feb 29 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1: We collaborate using group work almost every day at least in one subject. #LearnLAP

freysci Feb 29 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1: group work daily- collaborative group work that requires affiliation as often as possible #LearnLAP

mashupmath Feb 29 @ 8:10 PM EST

@mrterborg Not really. In the traditional sense, a grade is just a number/letter & doesn't reflect effort or understanding. #learnlap

ELCapiTECH Feb 29 @ 8:10 PM EST

Want to rewrite digital pilot training this summer to be all small group collaboration with choices. Google challenges. #LearnLAP

pjcerullo Feb 29 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2: My favorite part about collaborative group work is that students across abilities can work together and create magic! #LearnLAP

aj_hartley1 Feb 29 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2: Perspective- Seeing Ss take the blinders off and being empathetic to others' ideas and experiences. #LearnLAP

FLRichter Feb 29 @ 8:12 PM EST

A1 I don't have a class but a T that I collaborate w/ @ELAalltheWAY uses it almost daily; class is loud but most Ss are engaged #LearnLAP

mashupmath Feb 29 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2: I love hearing the convos/arguments between Ss when they collaborate. It can be an amazing form of formative assessment. #learnlap

@historycomics I too enjoy that buzz! I know my students are really learning! #LearnLAP

YandellsPlace Feb 29 @ 8:13 PM EST

#LearnLAP A2: I like the chaos. Like I said a few weeks ago, if you want silence, visit a cemetary. #darkbuttrue

KimberlyOnak1 Feb 29 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2: My Fave: Ss collaboration allows me to listen in on some of the best conversations. Ss learning from one another. #LearnLAP

freysci Feb 29 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2: I like that the work is student centered and that they can use each other's strengths to problem solve. #LearnLAP

MrsNewellsMath Feb 29 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2: As a teacher, I love collaborative group work because "collaboration divides the tasks and multiplies the success" #LearnLAP

mashupmath Feb 29 @ 8:13 PM EST

@YandellsPlace Haha, awww yeah!!! I like that line--I'm going to start using that! :) #learnlap

MrBaskwill Feb 29 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2: It allows Ss to bounce ideas off one another, to be the leader to have a voice and not always rely on me for ideas and answers #LearnLAP

ELCapiTECH Feb 29 @ 8:14 PM EST

I enjoy teachers telling me about the aha moments when the students just get it and can explain it in a better way. Collaboration #LearnLAP

YandellsPlace Feb 29 @ 8:14 PM EST

@KimberlyOnak1 so true! Ts need more time to LISTEN and observe the learning!! It is magical! #LearnLAP

MrCsClassroom Feb 29 @ 8:14 PM EST

Q2. #LearnLAP Teachers must take the bull by horns, and be deliberate in how we collaborate (i.e. work together in the business of teaching)

ohsoearly Feb 29 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2 I like Connecting people, fam #LearnLAP https://t.co/nUFJjswwv6

A2 - It's another opportunity to learn, ask questions. INTERdependent thinking. Synthesizing various perspectives with their own. #LearnLAP

Q3 coming up...think of how your kiddos think!! #uhoh #inthemindsofkids #LearnLAP

specialtechie Feb 29 @ 8:16 PM EST

I love #edmodo for collaborating with other T's, especially in large schools where faculty meetings aren't very often. #LearnLAP

mrterborg Feb 29 @ 8:16 PM EST

@MrsNewellsMath As a S, I disliked collaborative group work because the few end up with the work and still multiplies the success #learnlap

YandellsPlace Feb 29 @ 8:16 PM EST

patrickfhansen Feb 29 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 - I like the concept that truth is not a single note, it is a symphony #LearnLAP

specialtechie Feb 29 @ 8:17 PM EST

A3: Actually being able to talk to their friends! #LearnLAP The learning comes second.

aj_hartley1 Feb 29 @ 8:17 PM EST

A3: I see Ss building relationships with peers that they may not connect w outside the classroom. #LearnLAP

ronaldfisher Feb 29 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 I enjoy the relationships. Being able to work with others and get to know them. #learnlap

MrBaskwill Feb 29 @ 8:17 PM EST

A3: That they get to work with friends and have some ownership over what they do. And not have to listen to me talk all day #LearnLAP

pjcerullo Feb 29 @ 8:18 PM EST

A3: I think Ss most enjoy working with different people every-day. They hardly work with the same Ss each day. #LearnLAP

mashupmath Feb 29 @ 8:18 PM EST

A3: Ss love to be in the driver seat and want to be in control of their education--collaborate work allows them to do that! #learnlap

ELCapiTECH Feb 29 @ 8:18 PM EST

Helping their peers understand a topic. Sense of Pride. #LearnLAP

tweetjre Feb 29 @ 8:18 PM EST

Jumping in late! Jessie, 5th grade, ND. #LearnLAP

historycomics Feb 29 @ 8:18 PM EST

A3 they can work things out without fear of whole class failure. They are engaged - not waiting for call and response #LearnLAP

patrickfhansen Feb 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

A3: Not all Ss like collaborative work, but those who do enjoy the chance to share ideas and lean on each other's strengths #LearnLAP

EdTechNeil Feb 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

A3: The students enjoy supporting each other and extending their learning. The best way to learn is to teach. #LearnLAP

KimberlyOnak1 Feb 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

A3 I know Ss like making decisions, helping others learn, talking & moving seats. Collaboration = movement in my classes #LearnLAP

ronaldfisher Feb 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

A1 I try to daily implement something that involves collaboration, but I think I need to up my game. #LearnLAP

tweetjre Feb 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

A1: Collab. Group work happens daily in my classroom. Some days more than others, but daily. #LearnLAP

YandellsPlace Feb 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

@mashupmath Ss in control is a great thing although so many Ts are scared to give up control #LearnLAP

mashupmath Feb 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

Good point. I think it's important to provide opportunities for both collaborative and independent learning. #learnlap

FLRichter Feb 29 @ 8:19 PM EST

@PaulSolarz @ELAalltheWAY it's awesome T has incorporated hand &body movement w beats;Maj of Ss engaged;those not quickly join in #LearnLAP

mrterborg Feb 29 @ 8:20 PM EST

#learnlap #edtechchat Not seeing Qs They must be buried somewhere in the tech pipes.

tweetjre Feb 29 @ 8:20 PM EST

A2: The great ideas from my peers. They stretch me and help me see new ideas/perspectives/ stretch me! #LearnLAP

PaulSolarz - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:20 PM EST

A3 - My shy Ss find their voice. My unpopular Ss interact w/"the cool kids" & actually become friends. We lose the social ladder! #LearnLAP

freysci Feb 29 @ 8:20 PM EST

A3: I think it depends on the student. For many, it is fun. For some, frustrating. #LearnLAP

YandellsPlace Feb 29 @ 8:20 PM EST

You guys are amazing!! I can't keep up with all of the wonderful things you are sharing!!! I need more time!!! Q4 coming up! #LearnLAP

mrterborg Feb 29 @ 8:20 PM EST

@KimberlyOnak1 Absolutely. Research proves more senses involved = more brain activity = more learning. Move on #learnlap

ohsoearly Feb 29 @ 8:20 PM EST

A3 Students want to connect/socialize too #learnlap https://t.co/UjSsZrDAbn

patrickfhansen Feb 29 @ 8:20 PM EST

@EdTechNeil Great point! Students who understand quickly really solidify their learning when finding ways to reteach for other Ss #LearnLAP

mashupmath Feb 29 @ 8:21 PM EST

@YandellsPlace It's challenging because it seems like Ss are working harder than you are--then you learn that's the whole idea! #learnlap

nbartley6 - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:21 PM EST

#learnlap sorry jumping on late! A3 When collaborating, Ss own it-they get to know their strengths & how to bring the best out in each other

Casey_Metcalfe Feb 29 @ 8:21 PM EST

a3 Ss have ownership and choice! Opportunities to get messy and rewrite the rules! #LearnLAP

MegFerguson1 Feb 29 @ 8:21 PM EST

A little late - Meg Ferguson, high school music director, Sociology, English #LearnLAP

EdTechNeil Feb 29 @ 8:21 PM EST

Has anyone used TodaysMeet for collaborative learning? I think it's superb. #LearnLAP https://t.co/1bs3WPGMSz

KimberlyOnak1 Feb 29 @ 8:21 PM EST

@tweetjre I agree. Ss come up with the best questions for us to explore and build upon. Way better than what I was planning. #LearnLAP

MegFerguson1 Feb 29 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3: the sharing of ideas that can create an even better on, the bonds/community forged through creativity #LearnLAP

MsGrotrian Feb 29 @ 8:21 PM EST

@YandellsPlace @PaulSolarz A2 when leaders emerge!!! #LearnLAP

pjcerullo Feb 29 @ 8:21 PM EST

@PaulSolarz Social ladder goes out the window during collaborative work! Well said! #LearnLAP

#LearnLAP Q4: https://t.co/qPJ4m17sgn

patrickfhansen Feb 29 @ 8:22 PM EST

@mashupmath True - not all Ss learn best in groups #LearnLAP

mashupmath Feb 29 @ 8:22 PM EST

@KimberlyOnak1 @tweetjre Isn't it so cool how you'll hear a S question and be amazed how you never thought of it before?! #learnlap

ronaldfisher Feb 29 @ 8:22 PM EST

A3 in my class it is all about the time to be with friends, but there is always 1or 2 looking to see if others have the answers #LearnLAP

mrsevon1 Feb 29 @ 8:22 PM EST

Love this! #LearnLAP https://t.co/wvT1hwhA6N

mrterborg Feb 29 @ 8:22 PM EST

@specialtechie Shouldn't learning be first? Chatting with their friends works for me as long as they're learning #learnlap

specialtechie Feb 29 @ 8:22 PM EST

@mashupmath @YandellsPlace T's do the prep work, then actually get to watch the learning take place during class. It's awesome! #LearnLAP

tweetjre Feb 29 @ 8:22 PM EST

A3: Ideas, getting stretched by others, pushed even to think beyond what they "see". Breakout Box today was great collaboration. #LearnLAP

ARutschke Feb 29 @ 8:22 PM EST

A1: We use collaborative groups in math groups, in #PBL, #geniushour & writing #LearnLAP

FLRichter Feb 29 @ 8:22 PM EST

A3 Ss synthesize and create new ideas that the T may have not thought of through collaboration #LearnLAP

pjcerullo Feb 29 @ 8:22 PM EST

A4: The clean-up! Our room sometimes looks like a construction zone! #LearnLAP

mrterborg Feb 29 @ 8:22 PM EST

@patrickfhansen Sometimes it's a discord. #learnlap

patrickfhansen Feb 29 @ 8:23 PM EST

@tweetjre Same here - I find Ss enjoy collaborating digitally as well such as a discussion in a backchannel like @TodaysMeet #LearnLAP

historycomics Feb 29 @ 8:23 PM EST

A4 done right - it takes a lot of thought and data to get the groups right. Should never be random #LearnLAP

ELCapiTECH Feb 29 @ 8:23 PM EST

Probably noise level for most teachers. #learningisloud #LearnLAP

mashupmath Feb 29 @ 8:23 PM EST

A4: Whenever math manipulatives are involved, things get messy. Reference my graveyard of broken rulers and busted compasses :/ #learnlap

EdTechNeil Feb 29 @ 8:23 PM EST

A4: When you're being observed and things don't go as you planned! #learnlap

aj_hartley1 Feb 29 @ 8:23 PM EST

A4: Collaboration can move to competition unless we trust the people we are working with- we must bld + relationships #LearnLAP

specialtechie Feb 29 @ 8:23 PM EST

@mrterborg I was just answering the Q. That's what they like about it. Yes, Learning comes first. #LearnLAP

KimberlyOnak1 Feb 29 @ 8:24 PM EST

A4: Honestly--noise level can get to me but I also get bugged by the Ss that try to avoid the group. #LearnLAP

historycomics Feb 29 @ 8:24 PM EST

A4 I still get nervous when being observed and not doing teaching things! #LearnLAP

FLRichter Feb 29 @ 8:24 PM EST

A4 lack of control; at times unsure of the direction of learning; need to be like a river guide and help Ss navigate the process #LearnLAP

MrBaskwill Feb 29 @ 8:24 PM EST

A4: talk that goes off task...#LearnLAP

patrickfhansen Feb 29 @ 8:24 PM EST

@mashupmath @KimberlyOnak1 @tweetjre I love this as well! Especially in literature when a Ss has an insight no one has thought of #LearnLAP

ARutschke Feb 29 @ 8:24 PM EST

A2: I love that Ss learn from each other & are able to build something greater than they would have individually, better relations #LearnLAP

nbartley6 - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:25 PM EST

#learnlap A4 I think I initially feared loss of control, but when I saw the effects of S led projects like #geniushour I was blown away:)

ohsoearly Feb 29 @ 8:25 PM EST

A4 first, this is Twitter - it's not safe :) but #realtalk people don't always get along #learnlap https://t.co/DtcSFh2HWu

YandellsPlace Feb 29 @ 8:25 PM EST

I keep forgetting to share answers...I love reading what you're saying!! A4: not good utilization of time. Ss waste by gossiping #LearnLAP

mrterborg Feb 29 @ 8:25 PM EST

@historycomics It's scary. Start with #primarysources and pose a question. Happy to help. Most of my c discussions are S led. #learnlap

Peebles142 Feb 29 @ 8:25 PM EST

A4 when Ss rely on the natural leaders to provide all the answers+guidance. The challenge is to empower all students2participate #LearnLAP

ronaldfisher Feb 29 @ 8:25 PM EST

A4 Letting Go! yes most stressful part, because you are on the edge of a pirate's plank, and the next jump is leap of faith of Ss #LearnLAP

PaulSolarz - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:25 PM EST

A4 - Any time you give Ss a voice & empower them to work together and lead there is a learning curve. Totally worth it, though! #LearnLAP

ohsoearly Feb 29 @ 8:26 PM EST

@historycomics when are you not teaching? #learnlap

YandellsPlace Feb 29 @ 8:26 PM EST

@historycomics but the kids are teaching..you are facilitating. :) #learnlap

specialtechie Feb 29 @ 8:26 PM EST

A4: The ones who need more help than others, but don't like accept it from peers. #LearnLAP

patrickfhansen Feb 29 @ 8:26 PM EST

@mrterborg True, but at least it is never a discord at school board meetings :) #LearnLAP

tweetjre Feb 29 @ 8:26 PM EST

A4: I have a new Stud, and he doesn't like to work with others... this will be a challenge/ paradigm shift for this kiddo - hard! #learnlap

MrsNewellsMath Feb 29 @ 8:26 PM EST

A4: The constant need for school supplies and resources #LearnLAP

PaulSolarz - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:26 PM EST

A4 - Ss lead our end of the day routine: REARJMCL. It can be uncomfortable at times, but the skills they're gaining are worth it! #LearnLAP

pjcerullo Feb 29 @ 8:27 PM EST

@YandellsPlace Great point. We have been using the online stop-watch to keep ourselves on track. Big improvement from Oct to now! #LearnLAP

ARutschke Feb 29 @ 8:27 PM EST

A3: They love the teamwork & socialization, not having to sink or swim alone & having more resources available to them #LearnLAP

YandellsPlace Feb 29 @ 8:27 PM EST

Q5 coming up. #learnlap

nbartley6 - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:27 PM EST

MegFerguson1 Feb 29 @ 8:27 PM EST

A4 The "drifters" happy to let others do the work, some strategies help, but eagle eyes needed! Usually due to lack of confidence #LearnLAP

@specialtechie Make sure to do Marble Theory with them - I remind them that we all have talents & weak areas. We just want growth! #LearnLAP

mrterborg Feb 29 @ 8:28 PM EST

@EdTechNeil Do they ever? It also provides a way to scaffold spontaneously. Happened to me. #learnlap

KimberlyOnak1 Feb 29 @ 8:28 PM EST

@tweetjre That can be tough..maybe needs to start smaller with only one or two until more comfortable. #LearnLAP

tweetjre Feb 29 @ 8:28 PM EST

A4cont: You need to be planned, flexible, organized and at the same time ready to let go and let the Ss lead. Takes practice. #learnlap

pjcerullo Feb 29 @ 8:28 PM EST

@specialtechie @YandellsPlace Never used chrome timer. I will check it out. Thanks! #LearnLAP

mrsevon1 Feb 29 @ 8:28 PM EST

@ARutschke Yes, just like we do as educators! #LearnLAP

ohsoearly Feb 29 @ 8:29 PM EST

@historycomics exactly - sounds pretty teachery to me. Really would like to change the idea of what teachery looks like #learnlap

ARutschke Feb 29 @ 8:29 PM EST

A4: Having a few Ss become overly dependent on the group, sometimes I'm concerned someone will fall through the cracks! #LearnLAP

patrickfhansen Feb 29 @ 8:29 PM EST

@nbartley6 definitely! I like the new question feature, but wish it was a little less clunky when there r multiple ?s to discuss #LearnLAP

historycomics Feb 29 @ 8:29 PM EST

Gotta put kiddies back to bed - yep - BACK to bed. Ugh. Thanks everyone for a great chat #learnlap

mrterborg Feb 29 @ 8:29 PM EST

@nbartley6 They'll do it. They'll rise to the occasion. If we don't they'll look at us for direction when they're 21.... 65 .. 99 #learnlap

specialtechie Feb 29 @ 8:29 PM EST

A5: I don't think it defines rigor unless the activity is written that way. Yes, it can be how S's become T's & own the knowledge #LearnLAP

PaulSolarz - Moderator Feb 29 @ 8:29 PM EST

@MrBaskwill I remind myself that our class should be a comfortable place for Ss to strengthen relationships. Then, back to work! #LearnLAP

ShaneCapps Feb 29 @ 8:30 PM EST
