@salexandersci You recognized two kinds of students in that tweet. Do you think as teachers we should try to coax some of them to be more outspoken or others to talk a little less so that others can speak as well ? Or should we just accept their speaking preferences?

@MMillerscience I know everyone is already talking about the oobleck but that wont stop me from doing it too! I imagine that learning the states of matter can be a bit boring for the students but the awesome live demonstration your group did probably made their day!

@Mr_Walker_NC I like that the inspirations you showed were from popular games w/ simple designs (Mario, Minecraft, and Among Us). I feel like this helped each student have some level of familiarity or comfort with their designs despite their drawing abilities.

@teacherkait2 I really enjoy when someone is teaching a topic and it suddenly becomes a fun little game or discussion. It can really be a breath of fresh air in any lesson and I think it helps students stay engaged. I liked this a lot!

@earthyariel I think this is a great set of discussion questions overall but I really like that first one! Did you hear any surprising answers for that one specifically that you weren't expecting?

I was very happy to tell them about these awesome military robots I researched and in turn they were excited and happy to hear about them. I learned this: Simply having fun and caring about what you teach is foundational towards creating a great learning environment for all :)

The main purposes were to relate what these students were learning in class to the real world and to show them a wide range of robotic applications. The students found it fun and I hope that it helped to fuel some more creativity and intrigue in what they learn in their class!

My ED 204 Service Learning Project Group led a lesson about the career paths present in robotic engineering to 7th graders. We acted as rotating stations and spread out to students each with our own careers to present in our own personalized ways! #ED204SLP

In what ways can you as a teacher show students that biology isn't just definitions in a textbook but something that is all around them? Especially now through online instruction. #ed204chat #teachertwitter
