Working on some new subject-relevant activities for the @UnrealEngine. Given your subject area, what is something you think would be well suited to an interactive 3d learning experience? A simulation? A particular narrative? A principle?

Leaders, if you really want the best for your students, take care of your teachers. Remember they are the thermostat of the Learning Climate (classroom).

Constant communication. Small talks, in class quick checks, test confidence scales, and unit reflections. I want to ensure that my students are receiving everything possible to assist them in their learning. #ReinventTheClassroom #HPTeachingFellows
Q5: How do you check-in with your learners to ensure their learning experiences are personal and accessible? #ReinventTheClassroom
I struggle at times finding the most effective resource to meet the exact learning needs. There are so many resources that I get overwhelmed. I have used social media to connect with others in order to see what they are using. #ReinventTheClassroom #HPTeachingFellows
Q4: What are some challenges you have encountered when it comes to intentionally creating personal and accessible learning and what strategies have you leveraged in order to overcome those challenges? #ReinventTheClassroom
This was an answer that spoke to me. I tend to jump into the pool head first and try everything at once. I have learned to implement change in stages creates less adjustment issues with my students. #ReinventTheClassroom #HPTeachingFellows
Replying to @DigitalPromise
Q4: Realizing I can’t do it all at once. I’ve added more strategies, structures & surprises each week, month, year to increase the tools to help engage & elevate my students’ learning opportunities! #ReinventTheClassroom

A1) Education that is meaningful for each student. It is connected to their own personal experiences. It is also available to every student in a manner that they can understand. #ReinventTheClassroom #HPTeachingFellows
Q1: What does personal and accessible learning mean to you? #ReinventTheClassroom
This group is amazing. Everyone should have a group that pushes and energizes them to do great things. #HPTeachibgFellows @DigitalPromise @StefaniPautz
