A2 I use Legos, Hot Wheels, cardboard and other fun things to make. Also love 3D printing by creation on @tinkercad#recapchat check out our #buildwithcardboard tag
A2. I do all the above when I meet with librarians: book talk, cook for them and I love being w/ them. They are great collaborators, #ccpslibraries! #RecapChat
A2: we use YouTube often. My school is starting a YouTube Creator Academy next year. 4 years of developing your brand & becoming a YouTuber! #RecapChat

A3. We do this a lot in the library. It is very important for Ss to know you are interested in what they are interested in whether it is for academic knowledge or pleasure. #RecapChat
A3 yes, Ss can share their interests in the blogs they write @KidblogDotOrg , some add into projects and create visuals with @Buncee@padlet and more #recapchat

Organic all day. Their limitations in the 80s resemble the limitations those apps have as well. Funny enough, this year’s game we analyzed was Mario 3. #recapchat
A3: I ask for Ss input often. We have shared our interests outside of school & brainstormed how we can use those to solve problems we see everyday. We are in week 3 of our #20Time Projects.

A3- Student voice & choice is so important to learning & engagement! So many ways to incorporate students interests - research, choice of reading, becoming an expert, math word problems about students, the list is endless if you are creative and open to it. #recapchat
A4: mixed reactions. I teach 11th grade. Some are excited and ready to move. I just need to get out of their way. Others are waiting for me to tell them what to do. A few ask what the catch is.

A4. They see an adult who has taken an interest in them, and sees someone to go to ask for help, whether for a book or help with work or other problems. #RecapChat
Yes, this happens, Ss are used to being told what to do or not having as many choices I think. The first year doing pbl was really scary for many of them #recapchat
By 11th grade if no one has done this with them, they don't know how to follow their interests and some are all about the grade - what do I have to do to get the grade. They want it all spelled out for them. We need to help them learn to think for themselves. #recapchat
I've seen this too, even in contexts where the learning is presented as "just for fun", Ss can feel unused to expressing their interests and goals. #RecapChat
A5. That needs to start at the top. If those in administrative positions create a culture that models inclusiveness, respect, and team building, then everyone else will follow or leave. #RecapChat
A5: share Ss work. Share your excitement for the work that Ss are doing. Develop relationships w/colleagues. Invite them to see Ss in action.
#recapchat
A5 Keep sharing ideas and student work. Expose them to your students' enthusiasm. Often embracing student interests reduces behavior issues - so share that too if that is the case. Be willing to help them take small steps. Great book - Shift This! #recapchat
A6. We have started using @dotstorming and @Flipgrid for students to share and comment on each others' work. Ss have really liked those tools. #RecapChat
A6 Ss have been doing #pbl in my upper level Spanish classes, we connected thru @edmodo w/CR in Argentina and Spain, then used @Flipgrid to intro, also @padlet and @recap for reflections too #recapchat

I recently taught students to create booksnaps so they can use their own personality to create a response or review of a book or article. Super engaging! #recapchat
