Q1. EdCamps for Students? #akedchat

  Q1. EdCamps for Students? #akedchat

rownbey Mar 20 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1 Ss level of engagement significantly increases when the content/skill they're interacting with is in their curiosity zone #akedchat

nathanpitt Mar 20 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1: Choice is motivational. I’ll argue that it can be transformative too. #akedchat — I want this in my school!

nick_schumacher Mar 20 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1. This is a powerful tool to engage and empower Ss in the school. ONce the kids know the "rules" there is no stopping them! #akedchat

lyondon2 Mar 20 @ 11:10 PM EDT

#akedchat A1: S voice and choice are critical attributes of learning.

#akedchat A1: S voice and choice are critical attributes of learning.

joerobison907 Mar 20 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A1. Engagement leads to empowerment- breeds Ss investment and ownership of learning #akedchat

very easy to disempower learners that stepping in and taking control. practice sessions for the ss could help teachers as well.#akedchat
