lesliemaniotes Sep 27 @ 6:06 PM EDT

Students bring so much from their lives to the school setting, but we often miss opportunities to connect #RecapChat

Hi Raquel! Good to see you at #RecapChat again. I hope all's well in Anaheim! :D

In reply to @historyhistory4

lesliemaniotes Sep 27 @ 6:07 PM EDT

A1 Ss curiosities come from their experiences. You have to draw them out #recapchat

EmilyMerritt - Moderator Sep 27 @ 6:08 PM EDT

It's so true, making connections outside of class can be a great opportunity to open up that curiosity inside the class. #RecapChat

In reply to @EmilyMerritt, @RecapThat

EmilyMerritt - Moderator Sep 27 @ 6:10 PM EDT

A1 I always found I'd discover the most about Ss' curiosity to learn in my convos with them at recess and lunch :) #RecapChat

rsw1022 Sep 27 @ 6:10 PM EDT

For my 9th graders, it was all about the music. Played music that they loved and related to the lesson was a golden opp. #recapchat

In reply to @RecapThat

Rdene915 Sep 27 @ 6:11 PM EDT

Definitely! Thanks 😎 #recapchat

In reply to @TessReiche, @RecapThat

Almost midnight in Ireland and I have a 9 am meeting so I will away soon #recapchat

lesliemaniotes Sep 27 @ 6:12 PM EDT

In our model it’s called reaching the students third space. The merger between Home and content/standards #RecapChat

Rdene915 Sep 27 @ 6:12 PM EDT

Ask a lot of questions, be observant and inquire what day tend to draw or are reading, #recapchat

In reply to @RecapThat

rsw1022 Sep 27 @ 6:12 PM EDT

We created "identity maps" and decorated them, folded them into a hexagon like shape and I hung them from the ceiling #recapchat

EmilyMerritt - Moderator Sep 27 @ 6:12 PM EDT

I bet! I don't know how you do it all! Exciting to hear you're getting to try out a lot this fall! 😊 #recapchat

In reply to @Rdene915, @RecapThat

That is awesome, looking forward to having my students create #recapchat

In reply to @FoleyKev

lesliemaniotes Sep 27 @ 6:13 PM EDT

It’s important to listen to kids &trust their ideas are related to the content. Sometimes we don’t let them talk abt themselves #RecapChat

In reply to @Rdene915, @FoleyKev

rsw1022 Sep 27 @ 6:14 PM EDT

so true - I'd always be real "nosey" with them. Always asked them about parents, siblings, friends, food, movies, music, etc. #recapchat

In reply to @Rdene915, @RecapThat, @edmodo

RecapThat - Moderator Sep 27 @ 6:15 PM EDT

That’s awesome! The informal conversations often reveal the most student curiosity! #recapchat

gregorjm Sep 27 @ 6:13 PM EDT

In the school library, just informal conversations about their reading. Some Ts give reading surveys and share with us.
In reply to @RecapThat

RecapThat - Moderator Sep 27 @ 6:16 PM EDT

Q3 How can you use #studentchoice in class to ignite curiosity? #RecapChat

gregorjm Sep 27 @ 6:16 PM EDT

#recapchat A2 We love to Skype authors! Many are free...

In reply to @RecapThat

In reply to @gregorjm, @RecapThat

historyhistory4 Sep 27 @ 6:17 PM EDT

#RecapChat A2: Ss use their @Bitmoji avatars to create timelines of events, use @Snapchat when analyzing primary sources, @procon_org too!

TessReiche Sep 27 @ 6:17 PM EDT

A1: lots of options during #personalizedlearning to give Ss voice and control - makes for successful lessons #recpachat #RecapChat

In reply to @RecapThat

EmilyMerritt - Moderator Sep 27 @ 6:18 PM EDT

That's so cool! Love it when Ts present opportunities for their Ss to use tools & platforms they use outside of class #RecapChat

In reply to @historyhistory4, @Bitmoji, @Snapchat, @procon_org

Rdene915 Sep 27 @ 6:18 PM EDT

A3 definitely happens through #pbl #geniushour let them decide #stuchoice #recapchat

In reply to @RecapThat

lesliemaniotes Sep 27 @ 6:18 PM EDT

Students need tons of choice in Inquiry. They have to own it! So lots of choices in content and direction. Thru ??’s #RecapChat

rsw1022 Sep 27 @ 6:18 PM EDT

I love @procon_org and used it frequently (taught ELA, not history) but similar applications #recapchat

In reply to @historyhistory4, @Bitmoji, @Snapchat, @procon_org, @procon_org

BPhillipsWriter Sep 27 @ 6:18 PM EDT

A teacher/tutor listening to students and providing a platform for them to express their creativity, ignites curiosity to learn #recapchat

TessReiche Sep 27 @ 6:18 PM EDT

How cool! What a great way to incorporate their personalities! #recapchat

In reply to @historyhistory4, @Bitmoji, @Snapchat, @procon_org

EmilyMerritt - Moderator Sep 27 @ 6:19 PM EDT

A Q that just occurred to me: do you ever have Ss who struggle with making a choice? And how do you help those Ss? #RecapChat

In reply to @Rdene915, @RecapThat

Rdene915 Sep 27 @ 6:19 PM EDT

That is a really good way to use it! #recapchat

In reply to @rsw1022, @historyhistory4, @Bitmoji, @Snapchat, @procon_org

rsw1022 Sep 27 @ 6:19 PM EDT

what kind of platform are you using of this? #recapchat

In reply to @BPhillipsWriter

TessReiche Sep 27 @ 6:20 PM EDT

I think guided choice is helpful - not too many, but not too few #recapchat

In reply to @EmilyMerritt, @Rdene915, @RecapThat

Rdene915 Sep 27 @ 6:20 PM EDT

And I had Ss post #pbl questions then give feedback by asking what made them curious and what they wanted to know to each other #recapchat

In reply to @lesliemaniotes

RecapThat - Moderator Sep 27 @ 6:21 PM EDT

Q4 is almost here! #RecapChat

rsw1022 Sep 27 @ 6:21 PM EDT

I gave Ss "menus of choices" sometimes. encouraged them to make one on their own but didn't take a ton of class time #recapchat

In reply to @EmilyMerritt, @Rdene915, @RecapThat

Rdene915 Sep 27 @ 6:21 PM EDT

I tried to offer an analogy or give them some kind of starter #recapchat

In reply to @EmilyMerritt, @RecapThat

lesliemaniotes Sep 27 @ 6:21 PM EDT

In early phases Inquiry they just browse. So no biggie. Then you scaffold to help them get to know their interests. It grows. :) #recapchat

In reply to @EmilyMerritt, @Rdene915, @RecapThat

RecapThat - Moderator Sep 27 @ 6:22 PM EDT

Q4 How do you measure engagement and curiosity in your Ss? #RecapChat

Q4.Engagement is when teacher and students collaborate to find solutions #recapchat

Wow! That's so awesome! What a great example of engagement in action! #recapchat

In reply to @FoleyKev

RecapThat - Moderator Sep 27 @ 6:28 PM EDT

Q5 How does peer-to-peer learning activate curiosity in ways the teacher cannot? #RecapChat

Rdene915 Sep 27 @ 6:29 PM EDT

A5 More open to share ideas, wonders with peers at first maybe #recapchat

In reply to @RecapThat

TessReiche Sep 27 @ 6:29 PM EDT

A5: Ss can be vulnerable with each other in ways they can't always with Ts - allows for greater depth of connection & learning #recapchat

In reply to @RecapThat

historyhistory4 Sep 27 @ 6:29 PM EDT

#RecapChat Q3: select how you show mastery. Same skill, different method. Keep track of apps/sites used.
