ShellTerrell Apr 9 @ 8:37 AM EDT

Q1: Instead of homework or tasks send students on learning missions. Why would this be more motivating? #HackLearning

SusZanti5 Apr 9 @ 8:38 AM EDT

A1: Ss are motivated by significant connections to learning-make learning an adventure-encourage inquiry-boxless thinking! #hacklearning

walker_lv Apr 9 @ 8:38 AM EDT

hackmylearning - Moderator Apr 9 @ 8:39 AM EDT

Just the phrasing of it: "Tonight... go on a mission to..." vs. "Tonight finish these questions." #HackLearning

MrU_ishere Apr 9 @ 8:39 AM EDT

"Mission" learning rings of a QUEST, a variation of #gamifying the room & the work. High motivation task. #HackLearning

ErinWest_ITRT Apr 9 @ 8:39 AM EDT

A1 love the idea of a "learning mission" it sets an expectation of importance and urgency. Gives purpose to learning. #hacklearning

JoyKirr Apr 9 @ 8:39 AM EDT

A1: Send students to "march to the sea," like @burgessdave has! THAT would be way more motivating than any worksheet. #HackLearning

JTJuten Apr 9 @ 8:39 AM EDT

A1 It starts conversations at home & back in the classroom. #hacklearning

cpoole27 Apr 9 @ 8:39 AM EDT

A1 #HackLearning I stopped giving homework b/c it became about getting a grade - learning missions are not

brianrozinsky Apr 9 @ 8:40 AM EDT

A1 Changing terminology can alter both mindsets & habits. What we used to do thoughtlessly can become more purposeful. #hacklearning

gettinglostcamp Apr 9 @ 8:40 AM EDT

A1: Cool, creative missions allow of Ss to pursue with individualization, rather than all doing same "thing" #hacklearning

urbie Apr 9 @ 8:40 AM EDT

#HackLearning A1a Students working through their own learning missions is differentiation, student centered for one thing. They own it..

MizShorts Apr 9 @ 8:40 AM EDT

#hacklearning A1: Also,who doesn't love something that is intriguing? Missions sound so grownup!

NerdCoreTeacher Apr 9 @ 8:40 AM EDT

Sometimes, simply changing the lingo can help change the mindset. Homework has such negative connotations. #HackLearning

kimberlyj1223 Apr 9 @ 8:40 AM EDT

A1 considering the value of flipping the classroom the motivation in projects is Ss directed the Ts can guide the direction #hacklearning

hackmylearning - Moderator Apr 9 @ 8:40 AM EDT

A1 like the ideas of missions but really want students to have voice and influence on that - more S control less T direction #HackLearning

KRScienceLady Apr 9 @ 8:41 AM EDT

Good morning from New Hampshire #HackLearning. I teach 6-10th computer science and provide tech support for my building.

bohndrake Apr 9 @ 8:41 AM EDT

A1- homework- Ss only care abt checking the box for completion. Missions require a true accomplishment #HackLearning

MrFergusonMJHS Apr 9 @ 8:41 AM EDT

A1.Homework is mundane, bland, boring and without purpose. Missions are exciting and provide a purpose. Key word = PURPOSE #hacklearning

djlessard2016 Apr 9 @ 8:41 AM EDT

A1:puts Ss in control of their learning&way more interesting to see the variety of things they bring back to share w/ class #HackLearning

In reply to @JTJuten

KRScienceLady Apr 9 @ 8:41 AM EDT

Our thinking is so very similar #hacklearning

Dr_LMR Apr 9 @ 8:39 AM EDT

A1 Just the thought of 'mission' implies action to solve a problem. Sparking motivation and encouraging investigation. #HackLearning

DufreneIsabelle Apr 9 @ 8:41 AM EDT

A1: A mission is a great idea, but how can we link it with the class work? How long do we need next classroom day to reuse it? #hacklearning

gettinglostcamp Apr 9 @ 8:42 AM EDT

A1: Creating a mission (or better yet, having Ss create the mission once parameters/learning goals are established) is #tlap #hacklearning

Jim_dEntremont Apr 9 @ 8:42 AM EDT

A1: A mission is doing. You take what you have learned and see what purposeful task you can accomplish with it. #HackLearning

MrU_ishere Apr 9 @ 8:42 AM EDT

Well, THAT would be a game-changer! #HackLearning
