#fusdTchat

often times we make prior connections and that is imperative to the learning process.

#fusdTchat

A8: It starts with the T. Flash-bang won't matter if the T is unengaged with Ss. We need to be with them, not over them.
#fusdTchat

#fusdTchat

A9: VERY IMPORTANT. It really shows that S understand the concept when they are able 2 explain it & use it in another situation.
#fusdtchat

May 18 @ 7:59 PM EDT
A9: True learning transcends a single situation. Critical thinking skills will apply to everything.

#fusdtchat
theteachingjedi
May 18 @ 8:07 PM EDT
A11: In the hands of a passionate, engaged T, yes. Otherwise it's just novelty, a toy, something that's simply added on.
