    In reply to @lars3eb
  • lars3eb - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:15 PM EDT

  • lars3eb - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    Sounds like a great idea Tina, but is it possible? #utedchat #UTedChat
    In reply to @DaniKSloan
  • misterlarsen Mar 29 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    The funny thing is that I’ve been working all week. Admins don’t get Spring Break. #UTedChat
    In reply to @lars3eb
  • missplott Mar 29 @ 11:16 PM EDT
    A2: assigning roles helps all kids feel included and encourages participation. Scribe, discussion leader, presenter, etc. #utedchat
  • lars3eb - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    I know, not unless they take personal/vacation days. Kinda unfair, isn't it? #UTedChat
    In reply to @misterlarsen

    A1: how do we be as cool as @missplott? 😆 #utedchat
    In reply to @missplott
  • covili - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    Really good point Krystal. Having clearly defined roles for Ss certainly helps kids stay involved. #UTedChat
    In reply to @missplott
  • MissMohr37 Mar 29 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    A2 Make sure each group collaborates to divide up into jobs. That way everyone gets a part they feel comfortable with. #UTedchat #peru552
  • downrightdave - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    don't even joke about this! I'd start school a week earlier and take two spring breaks. #utedchat
    In reply to @lars3eb, @misterlarsen
  • missplott Mar 29 @ 11:17 PM EDT
    A2: also have Ss grade themselves and the other members of their group to get honest feedback / reflection #utedchat
  • jamesballif Mar 29 @ 11:18 PM EDT
    A2 I like the Keagan strategy of assigning jobs. #utedchat
  • lars3eb - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:18 PM EDT
    A2 I always asked the students to grade themselves on their involvement as well as their peers. Made it a little easier. #UTedChat
  • downrightdave - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:18 PM EDT
    we are sort of doing it now... #utedchat
    In reply to @lars3eb, @DaniKSloan
  • DaniKSloan Mar 29 @ 11:18 PM EDT
    With Ms. Fey...anything is possible! That's why we have C-Forum, right? How else could we facilitate sharing w/districts? #utedchat
    In reply to @lars3eb
  • kennyassmus Mar 29 @ 11:19 PM EDT
    A2: keeping groups small helps. 3-4 is great. Each has a job, and need each one feels like they are necessary to completing task #utedchat

    A4: all my desks were put together to make tables, so I really built collaboration into my entire classroom design #utedchat
  • mscraftynerd Mar 29 @ 11:41 PM EDT
    A5: maybe it's because I taught firsties, but even getting collaborative conversations going is difficult enough. #utedchat
  • DaniKSloan Mar 29 @ 11:41 PM EDT
    A5: Must have structures in place for promoting positive/constructive critiques. Three hearts and a wish, etc. #UTedChat
  • missallenmath Mar 29 @ 11:41 PM EDT
    A5: Some Ss are able to give honest feedback while others are not. Depends on the maturity level of the Ss. #UTedChat #peru552
  • MrJFawson Mar 29 @ 11:42 PM EDT
    A5 benefits: done well it's very effective to get peer feedback. Weakness: no matter what you say some Ss won't do it right #UTedChat
  • misterlarsen Mar 29 @ 11:42 PM EDT
    A5: Peer tutoring and cooperative learning are both effective, but too often we don’t teach Ss how before we start. #utedchat
  • sandeeteach Mar 29 @ 11:43 PM EDT
    A5 Peer reviews work if the class culture is a safe place where Ss trust each other/ often talk growth mindset and mistakes #utedchat

    having structure in place is a great strategy! They need to be taught how it's done. #peru552 #UTedChat
    In reply to @DaniKSloan
  • MrJFawson Mar 29 @ 11:44 PM EDT
    having multiple Ss give feedback can help, never going to be perfect, different motivations for Ss to give feedback #UTedChat

    A5: Neg-Ss w/challenges need very positive feedback yet lack the savvy to do so. #utedchat
  • missplott Mar 29 @ 11:45 PM EDT
    A5: having spent most of my years teaching 2nd, they usually weren't mature enough for it. I did give some rubrics for self-checks #utedchat
  • MissMohr37 Mar 29 @ 11:45 PM EDT
    A5: You may get Ss that give honest feedback and some that don't take it as serious. #UTedchat #peru552
  • btalonia Mar 29 @ 11:45 PM EDT
    A5: Too often we turn over tasks to Ss. without modeling or guiding them to what a finished product looks like. Messy quick! #UTedChat

    Q6 - Let’s review our collaboration on video chats. https://t.co/XgNTdJhzlN What would you add to this list? What works for you? #UTedChat
  • MrJFawson Mar 29 @ 11:46 PM EDT
    This ^^^^^ x 100 and then expect them to know how to do it and then complain when they don't do it effectively #UTedChat
    In reply to @misterlarsen
  • missplott Mar 29 @ 11:46 PM EDT
    I think if we take the time to teach it, it can be a great tool for sure! #UTedChat
    In reply to @misterlarsen
  • lars3eb - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:46 PM EDT
    A5 Peer Review takes time to teach & learn. It's not something everyone understands & we have to train our Ss to be effective. #UTedChat
  • missplott Mar 29 @ 11:46 PM EDT
    what just happened?!?? #UTedChat
    In reply to @covili, @lars3eb
  • lars3eb - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:47 PM EDT
    A5 When Ss understand HOW peer reviews work & how to effectively review their peers it's almost magical! #UTedChat
  • sandeeteach Mar 29 @ 11:47 PM EDT
    With modeling/practice, Ss can really help ea other grow as presenters of their work- It empowers them to be Ts/Ss of each other #utedchat
    • covili - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:40 PM EDT
      Q5 - Many Ts use collaboration tools for Ss to conduct peer reviews. Share the benefits and weaknesses of peer review. Examples? #UTedChat
  • lars3eb - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:48 PM EDT
    And more than that, are we allowing them to change up their seating arrangement? I think rows are helpful at times. #UTedChat
    In reply to @btalonia
  • HowardKiyuna Mar 29 @ 11:48 PM EDT
    A5: Challenging situations I bring groups to me & lead it. Give as much freedom as 1 can handle. Teachable moments if harsh. #utedchat
  • btalonia Mar 29 @ 11:48 PM EDT
    A5: Teach Ss. How to give feedback. Love this video of Austin's Butterfly from #BYU21c last week! https://t.co/PQYP4xlY9V #UTedChat
  • lars3eb - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:48 PM EDT
    I started in rows for the first 2 weeks & then again when we returned from Christmas Break. Rest of year in groups. #UTedChat

  • missplott Mar 29 @ 11:50 PM EDT
    tables from day 1!! Embrace it! If I still had a classroom I'd have tables and flexible seating like @TopDogTeaching #UTedChat
    In reply to @lars3eb, @TopDogTeaching
  • lars3eb - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:51 PM EDT
    And I'd start with rows still, but move to flex seating very quickly. I liked rows for some things. #UTedChat
    In reply to @missplott, @TopDogTeaching
  • lars3eb - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:52 PM EDT
    And some groups need different seating arrangements for them to learn best. Always mixed it up though. #UTedChat

    Q7 Our top group question from tonight - How can we help school districts collaborate with each other? @DaniKSloan #UTedChat
    In reply to @DaniKSloan
  • HowardKiyuna Mar 29 @ 11:53 PM EDT
    Principal explain'd likeliest talkers in groups of 6 based on seating. Diag 1st, across 2nd, next to you last. Plan accordingly #utedchat
  • lars3eb - Moderator Mar 29 @ 11:53 PM EDT
    Depends on the room & grade level too. But Flex Seating was my goal b4 leaving classroom. #UTedChat

    A7: It sounds simple, but JUST ASK. I collaborated with @tricia_j today and all it took was asking for her to share her expertise. #utedchat

    A7 I don't mean to be negative about this but these answers all sound good, but I don't think much outreach takes place #UTedChat
  • DillyDabbles Mar 29 @ 11:58 PM EDT
    A7 what if there was time built in at conferences for Ts to just connect and share? #UTedChat
