    A1 Hmm, since I've never been, this is tough, but seems like the is something for everyone. #scitlap
  • Mr_Canterbury Jul 5 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: Having been there as a kid, going as an adult reinforces old connections and establishes new ones. P.O.T.C. still my fave! #scitlap
  • bakerhhhs Jul 5 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: Never been to Disney. Not a huge fan of crowds or lines. But will be going to Universal, especially Harry Potter in the Spring #scitlap

    Our next question transitions your personal connections with Disney to personalized learning. Disney has something for everyone. #scitlap
  • love5thgrade Jul 5 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A1: Since I heard quite a bit about Disney from Shauna Pollock @misspollock and Howie @hdiblasi at Edcampmagic, I've loved it more. #scitlap

  • BroCstart Jul 5 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A2 #scitlap haven't done much w this per se. My focus is building #pbl using #ubd, which should lead to personalized learning along the way
  • cjcrawcooper Jul 5 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2: learned to use Google forms to send S to different resources based on answers. May try this year #scitlap
  • daleyscience - Moderator Jul 5 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2 I've heard of it, as well as personalized PD. I think it is a great idea for growth as long as U move outside your comfort zone #scitlap
  • love5thgrade Jul 5 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2: I believe it is where students are able to explore their passions while still meeting the standards. Numerous options. #scitlap
  • sbosch_spps Jul 5 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Tell me more! I've used google forms, but not for that. #scitlap

  • cjcrawcooper Jul 5 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2b: also learned about choice boards using slides #scitlap

    A2: Don't know much but sounds like something I am mulling; mini #edcamp in class - pick your own interest & take off running #scitlap
  • pentaclethra Jul 5 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2 Personalized learning, like differentiated instruction, is tough to implement. #scitlap The struggle is real.
  • love5thgrade Jul 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    I love the idea of a mini Edcamp in class, @bakerhhhs. It even sounds incredible for Technology Club! #scitlap
    In reply to @bakerhhhs
  • daleyscience - Moderator Jul 5 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    I definitely agree. Staying comfortable is not growth (or fun/thrilling like Disney ride). #scitlap #SeeWhatIDidThere

  • pentaclethra Jul 5 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    Some personalized learning can be had by just letting Ss explore what they want. "Can I do _____?" Why yes you can! #scitlap
