That's a great idea!! Just changing up the learning space - especially on a beautiful day - to be in nature. :) #PCeduchat

Maybe if you usually stay indoors for learning, maybe take them outdoors as something a little difficult #PCEduChat

Which would happen when our T had to leave and no sub available. But I enjoyed it the couple of times it happened. Idk why ... #PCEduChat

KC_SEASportsFan Mar 1 @ 8:46 PM EST

You know what I enjoyed as a student? And I know why they did it... But when they let us be with another T for a couple hrs
