Driving to someplace new. I can be so focused on watching for the next turn I miss other things happening on the road. #collschat

CollsChem Apr 5 @ 7:39 PM EDT

@mr_dfenton I've forgotten to give directions to the driver because I was so deep into a story I was telling (oops!) #collschat

rjw118 Apr 5 @ 7:39 PM EDT

rjw118 Apr 5 @ 7:42 PM EDT

A2 They still remember how to play, sometimes with tech sometimes otherwise to learn their way out of things #collschat

CollsCompSci Apr 5 @ 7:42 PM EDT

A1: Was very difficult to get his attention no matter what he was doing. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Apr 5 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@CollsCompSci wow!! Thats awesome. Great for him. #collschat

CollsTechElem Apr 5 @ 7:43 PM EDT

A2: Young people use evolving technology and emerging social media platforms to educate themselves and promote their ideas. #collschat

Great thought! #collschat https://t.co/2i1sJHxYdl

rjw118 Apr 5 @ 7:42 PM EDT

A2 They still remember how to play, sometimes with tech sometimes otherwise to learn their way out of things #collschat

Tsandyhart Apr 5 @ 7:43 PM EDT

A2: They freely use technology to discover their world and find out about their interests. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Apr 5 @ 7:44 PM EDT

A2 - They are definitely not ruled by fear. See that button and they press it! #collschat

rsmithcms Apr 5 @ 7:44 PM EDT

Q2: They maintain pride in all victories even if the Inst. fails to recognize "the small stuff" #collschat

kysmith424 Apr 5 @ 7:44 PM EDT

A2: They are more comfortable trying to new technology and taking risks with it. #collschat

Q3 Can you remember a habit you had to break so that you learned another, more effective behavior? #collschat https://t.co/eSkaf6RA0N

mr_dfenton Apr 5 @ 7:45 PM EDT

A2: Lots of students are self-teaching themselves all sorts of skills we don't provide in schools. #collschat

rsmithcms Apr 5 @ 7:45 PM EDT

@CollsTechElem yes!! They LOVE the social media platforms #collschat #virtualsoapbox

whalen - Moderator Apr 5 @ 7:45 PM EDT

Yes! We need to harness that and mold our schools around them - not the other way around! #collschat https://t.co/7iyDKL5hQ1

@rsmithcms @CollsTechElem hahaha (I love them too...) #collschat

CollsChem Apr 5 @ 7:46 PM EDT

A2: They are constantly adapting- media & tech are constantly evolving, and Ss evolve faster than institutions (and Ts!) #collschat

rjw118 Apr 5 @ 7:46 PM EDT

A2 We've been saying kids are comfy with tech for 20 years. Schools have changed some, but at such a glacial pace #collschat

cwahlCHS Apr 5 @ 7:46 PM EDT

A2: I watch my 21 y/o daughter figure out ways to do so much! Great skills I never had. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Apr 5 @ 7:47 PM EDT

A3: I used to be terrible at getting up in the morning. Late to work sometimes. Learned to be an early bird :) #collschat

CollsTechElem Apr 5 @ 7:47 PM EDT

A3 So personal! I had to break old eating and stress management habits to learn healthy ones and lost 40 lbs ...and kept it off! #collschat

cwahlCHS Apr 5 @ 7:47 PM EDT

A3: Procrastination. I really should break this habit, I just haven't had time..... #collschat

whalen - Moderator Apr 5 @ 7:47 PM EDT

@CollsTechElem Good for you! keeping it off is the hard part! #collschat

whalen - Moderator Apr 5 @ 7:48 PM EDT

We can talk about that one next week. Or maybe the week after that... ;) #collschat https://t.co/7mg3Ic2I2L

@cwahlCHS Hahahahaha! #collschat

CollsCompSci Apr 5 @ 7:48 PM EDT

CollsArt Apr 5 @ 7:49 PM EDT

Hi everyone. Sorry I'm late, been carpooling my kids all night!#collschat

Ever been influenced by an ad to purchase a product only to discover that it was not what you expected? https://t.co/0ttq434DSE #collschat

CollsTechElem Apr 5 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@CollsCompSci Me too!! My BS in Computer Science if from 1986. I went back for teaching in gthe 90s. #collschat

rsmithcms Apr 5 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A3: being succinct enough for Twitter with descriptions and explanations... Maybe my meetings should be on here #144 #collschat

CollsChoirs Apr 5 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A3- that asking for help/ true collaboration shows strength, not weakness. For years I thought strength was doing it all myself. #collschat

CollsTechElem Apr 5 @ 7:51 PM EDT

Q4: Well, I'm a shopoholic so...yes. #collschat

Tsandyhart Apr 5 @ 7:51 PM EDT

CollsArt Apr 5 @ 7:52 PM EDT

A3: I'm a terrible interrupter, working on being a better listener #collschat

kysmith424 Apr 5 @ 7:53 PM EDT

A3: I always want to add more to my plate and I ended up regretting it. Its a habit I am still working on "unlearning". #collschat

whalen - Moderator Apr 5 @ 7:53 PM EDT

Ok. Yes! Twitter meetings :) #collschat https://t.co/XrLj2pWndA

Tsandyhart Apr 5 @ 7:53 PM EDT

Fushigi That was such a scam. #collschat

CollsChem Apr 5 @ 7:53 PM EDT

A3 @CollsChoirs YES! Idea that smart = shouldn't make mistakes or need help took a long time to break & relearn. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Apr 5 @ 7:53 PM EDT

@CollsArt What'd you say? ;) #collschat

rjw118 Apr 5 @ 7:53 PM EDT

A4 I'm a skeptic by nature, every marketer's nightmare. Same with new education "research" Not easily convinced. #collschat

CollsArt Apr 5 @ 7:54 PM EDT

A4: I've always been a sucker for buying a book based on its cover. Guess it's the artist in me #collschat

CollsChem Apr 5 @ 7:54 PM EDT

@CollsChoirs Still working on it, actually. But much better than I used to be! #collschat

whalen - Moderator Apr 5 @ 7:54 PM EDT

@kysmith424 tough one - gotta learn the power of a positive no! #collschat

CollsCompSci Apr 5 @ 7:54 PM EDT

@whalen Super proud. He has an MS in Physics, BS in Mechanical Engineering and minored in Japanese. If only I had his focus... #collschat

rsmithcms Apr 5 @ 7:55 PM EDT

Q5 How is unlearning a skill Andy and his peers need as much as ever today? What did he learn as a baby? #collschat https://t.co/8vnMxhhxk1

CollsCompSci Apr 5 @ 7:56 PM EDT

@cwahlCHS SAME! #collschat

CollsTechElem Apr 5 @ 7:57 PM EDT

He learned what was important to pay attention to based on the reactions of adults around him. #collschat

colls_newbie3rd Apr 5 @ 7:59 PM EDT

I am sometimes taken by the "shiny" packaging. I think it is my glass half full mentality. #collschat

CollsCompSci Apr 5 @ 7:59 PM EDT

A5: We no longer have somebody to tell us what is important to pay attention to. We have to figure it out ourselves. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Apr 5 @ 7:59 PM EDT

A5 We know more about human nature mental health respecting individuality Kids have 2 unlearn things they never knew they learned #collschat
