    We, as educators (Parents, Grandparents...) should model being constant learners as learning takes place at all times and in all places online or offline too. Our Learning Pages https://t.co/wvlnS1Ki3i #edchat #edtechchat #nt2t

    A1: Sustainable learning is a dynamic learning process. It leads to cognitive networking between what is learned and the environment, it aims at deeper understanding. #nt2t

    We are thrilled to have you! #nt2t

    A1: My knowledge of sustainable learning is very limited so I am looking forward to reading your responses. #NT2t
  • seni_bl Oct 13 @ 9:10 AM EDT
    A1: It think you can interpret sustainable learning in two ways. 1. It's about teaching about sustainability like here: https://t.co/9kwdjSEDhJ 2. It's more about the persistence of learning/competences/knowledge. #nt2t
  • stephwurking - Moderator Oct 13 @ 9:11 AM EDT

    This is a start, @shyj - #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 13 @ 9:12 AM EDT
    I wonder, is sustainable learning more "popular" in other countries than it is in the US? #NT2t
  • seni_bl Oct 13 @ 9:13 AM EDT
    A1: Like this image: cognitive networking. But most of all it's about the result - deeper understanding. Couldn't agree more. #nt2t

    #nt2t Q2: Sustainable learning needs a special environment. Do you have tips how to create such an environment?
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 13 @ 9:15 AM EDT
    A1: When I hear "sustainable learning" I relate it to #SDGs https://t.co/xjQiXrxFKr s this accurate? #NT2t

    It sure is! #nt2t

    A2: Students need space in the learning process to find out where they have questions. They should realize that questions are often more important than actual answers. Students need an environment in which they feel safe. #nt2t

    Unfortunately my 1 year of German in high school won't help #NT2t

    I think we would like to use the term "deep learning" - to describe the depth and sustainability of learning. #nt2t

    A2: It begins with mutual respect, building positive relationships,and having clear expectations. Greet kids at the door, ask them how they are doing, allow student input for rules/learning. Be firm when needed. Engage students, change activities every 15 minutes. #nt2t

      As educators, we can help students relate to others by * connecting students with others * helping students understand their own feelings * encouraging dialog about feelings * helping understand culture. It helps to know there are plenty of layers of human needs. #sparkempathy

    #nt2t Q5: Why should we see the classroom as an ecosystem
  • seni_bl Oct 13 @ 9:39 AM EDT
    Great resource, Julie! Thanks for sharing. #nt2t
    In reply to @shyj
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 13 @ 9:40 AM EDT
    A5: The mere definition of ecosystem is "a complex network or interconnected system." Learning is an interconnected process. Because of the interconnectedness, learning must be deep to understand the big picture, the whole system, not just pieces. #NT2t
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 13 @ 9:41 AM EDT
    Thrilled to finally understand what I'm talking about! #NT2t
    In reply to @seni_bl
  • seni_bl Oct 13 @ 9:42 AM EDT
    A5: A classroom is a place where learners live and work together - communicating, collaborating, growing. Sometimes some of them need help and others could support. So it's like a micro-society. #nt2t
  • stephwurking - Moderator Oct 13 @ 9:44 AM EDT
    Wow! #nt2t
    In reply to @shyj
  • JeremyDBond Oct 13 @ 9:44 AM EDT
    I often hear “Maslow’s before Bloom’s,” but can it be simultaneous with learning? It’s just that learning can’t happen without those human needs. #nt2t

    #nt2t Q6: How can we use social media and other digital tools to promote systematic learning opportunities that lead to sustainable learning?
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 13 @ 9:46 AM EDT
    I don't think it a "before" thing, I think it should be simultaneous. Learning is personal in nature, so Maslow's is part of learning. Unfortunately some educators see it as "fluff" #NT2t

    It doesn't even have to be teaching something, but something as simple as having a great question, or wondering out loud, or thinking of something from another perspective. All of this leads to learning & growth. #NT2t
    In reply to @JeremyDBond, @AnBoe65
  • JeremyDBond Oct 13 @ 9:49 AM EDT
    Hm... food and shelter as “fluff”? 😒 Or more likely “not our problem.” Schools CAN and should provide security and build trust. And... yeah, food. #nt2t
    In reply to @shyj
  • shyj - Moderator Oct 13 @ 9:49 AM EDT
    A6: I think we can use social media to expand ours and students thinking about a problem or current issue. Instead of seeing things from our point of view only, use social media to connect with others globally and see things through their eyes. #NT2t
  • JeremyDBond Oct 13 @ 9:52 AM EDT
    A6) Digital platforms open opportunities to reach many different types of learners AND stakeholders. The most lasting learning is a community effort and is inclusive to all. #nt2t

    A6: Digital tools can support the learning process because 1. They are part of students' everyday life. 2. They are another kind of media - they open up new opportunities - described in SAMR-model. 3. They are not bound to places or time's #nt2t
