#IEedchat

A2: embrace what Ss don't know and teach them. And create positive environments to edge out the negative chaos
#IEedchat
K8Applebee
May 1 @ 10:43 PM EDT
A2: Ts try to encourage the seeking of knowledge as being more worthy than ignorance, but sometimes ignorance is more fun.
#IEedchat

Yes! We need to celebrate process more. Help Ss avoid getting stuck with easy buttons and formulas. Focus on learning.

A2 when you know more - you do more - and take ownership, is that what we want for our Ss to own their learning?

A2) one must always be learning new stuff and ask students to teach you. We can all learn from one another. Never ends.
