#miched Archive

The #michED chat is a grassroots effort dedicated to giving teachers, students, and parents across Michigan a bigger voice in the conversation about education in our state. We welcome all voices through a variety of projects, media, and social networking. We’re trying to address educational issues through apolitical conversation, spreading ideas and stories of success from Michigan classrooms across the state, and helping teachers and students regain the courage to connect and demonstrate that schools in Michigan are creating amazing opportunities for learning. We want the face and voice of education in Michigan to be a mural of shared experiences and positive examples of connected learning.

    Also, identifying a decent source. TEDtalks, Blog posts, YouTube- not scholarly. Even early news reports speculate instead of report #MichED

    A7 - Some of the work for those that are literate is to listen to Ss and learn the new tools. Ss may not see long term, we can guide #miched

    A7: #miched Try new tech things and see if they work. Never settle on having "the best way" to do things. Collaborate with others.
