A.1 isn't that just a AHA!!!! moment. Flipping the switch. Oh cliches. #MTedchat

Q2: Metaphor: Teaching is a bridge across borders. What does this mean to you? #MTedchat

HowardKiyuna Mar 28 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1: Yes it's real. When a current lesson connects then to something they already learned. Always followed by "ohhh" ...exound. #MTedchat

A2 Ts across the world have the same goal: student success #mtedchat

@cristama Yep - and learning is the one thing we ALL have in common, whether we do it formally or not. #mtedchat
