A4 I will always keep in mind to start with my learning outcomes and then choose tools and strategies that support success. I plan to integrate flipgrid-so easy to use #sdedchat

A3 I do stations but need to do a better job integrating review skills. That is when I can ensure students are retaining skills. #sdedchat

Collaborating while problem solving gives the kids a chance to bounce ideas off each other while still having safety in numbers...maybe they will be more willing to contribute ideas if it is part of a group effort #sdedchat

A1 stems are so important especially in the early stages and with young learners. Can be constructed to encourage higher level thinking as well #sdedchat

I’ve used prezi for spelling projects-this would be a cool option for mind mapping. #sdedchat

A2 4th graders are so self conscious! I think they would feel intimidated even being paired with someone in middle school. I’d like to try pairing them with 4th graders from another school and use video chats to peer edit writing pieces. #sdedchat

A1) thoughtfully pairing ss considering their backgrounds, academic level, and potential for building a trusting relationship is key #sdedchat

A5. Big benefit is getting kids excited about learning because they get to play with a new tool. My students love hearing that they are the first ones I've used a new program with and rise to the challenge #Sdedchat
