A4 #edchatph Ss have 2 feel it’s safe 2 fail! Not everything needs 2B graded. Work on IMPROVEMENT rather than the “A.” When safe, Ss jump on board & take RISKS. Lots of chances & conferencing. Class blogs for ?. Use comments in docs. Personalized learning but also responses!
A3: Relevance. HT to @MathDenisNJ and Instant Relevance. When we connect what we are teaching back to their culture, their interests, their desires, their world, we have better ability to hook them in. #edchatph#makeitreal
Jeri fr Jersey chiming in late. English T #Edchatph S-driven means Ss make more choices in class. class still has structure but T is NOT standing in front of room lecturing. Lots more inquiry, discussions, groups, #edtech S choose topics or HOW 2 present. #geniushour is S-driven
I have to say that I am in awe of the many countries across the globe represented in the voices tonight, and we all share the common love of our students.

A2: Listen. Don't speak. Just listen. Don't jump to conclusions, finish sentences, shoo kids away. Just listen. When they say something intriguing, ask them questions. Treat them the way you demand others to treat you. #edchatph
