A7: I learn from Ss all the time (and Ts) most recently Ss shared their creations via #adobespark I'm floored by what Ss create. #5thchat

A6. Wonder Window: Ss display their curiousities, respond to others, & add thoughts. Friday bell work: research & add ideas #5thchat

A7: If given choices, kids will come up with some pretty awesome ideas! The app-smashing they can create is very innovative! #5thchat

A7: Ss change my lessons. I start teaching, & they create and take lessons places I never considered. #5thchat #LearnLAP #kidsdeserveit

Q7: What’s the most innovative idea you have learned from your Ss? #5thchat

MrsSmithThinks Dec 20 @ 8:54 PM EST

I've only heard of WonderWall not WonderWindow! I like the idea of looking out, and of Ss responding there fluidly. #5thchat

A8 Grit! If I can't figure something out I keep trying until I can! They will fail-how they respond to that is KEY! #5thchat #digitalLISD

I'm certainly going to start saying this! #5thchat

A8; Ss can't fear failure. Ss need to see Ts fail but persevere. Learning is constant, and not perfected. It can always be revised. #5thchat
