In reply to @GoNoodle, @EricJensenBrain

A5 Anytime we can give the learners choice or control over how/what they learn, it makes the learning so much more #novaedchat

mcarlson110 Feb 1 @ 8:46 PM EST

A5: Younger Ss love @GoNoodle. @Seesaw has been a game changer - Ss always ask to put work on Seesaw for Ps and other Ss to see #novaedchat
