@JessieRErickson Thanks for the book study!

[Brandvold'sFirebirds @BrandvoldsClass]

A6: A take away from this book was that you don't have to do the entire launch cycle all at once, you can complete the cycle in parts. Also, I think this cycle will help my Ss with problem-solving and trying new things! #GFPSLaunch

A5: I am not quite sure yet how I would use these in Special Ed, but I am excited to explore them and try to use them in my classroom when I find one I really like! #GFPSLaunch

A4: 3D Bear looks like it would be fun. All of these resources look great! #GFPSLaunch

[Brandvold'sFirebirds @BrandvoldsClass]

A3: I think the virtual field trips are a wonderful idea, especially since everyone is stuck at home! #GFPSLaunch

[Brandvold'sFirebirds @BrandvoldsClass]

A2: I think students are learning to be more independent and they are also gaining confidence with using the technology #GFPSLaunch

[Brandvold'sFirebirds @BrandvoldsClass]

@JoMiller619 I agree! It has definitely made me think about what is the most important things for Ss right now. Also it has forced me to be more creative too. I started using and creating @BoomLearning cards. So fun! #GFPSlaunch

Distance learning has definitely made Ss more accountable for their learning & puts them in the driver's seat. When I have zoom sessions with Ss I will have them share their screen with me & I will have to give them directions of where to go, what to click, etc. #gfpslaunch

[Brandvold'sFirebirds @BrandvoldsClass]

See them, play a game with them! #GFPSLaunch

@JessieRErickson I would say the bridge in the forest, with all that is going on right now there's no clear path or clear ending in sight. #GFPSLaunch

[Brandvold'sFirebirds @BrandvoldsClass]

A6: Be optimistic, highlight the positive, be encouraging and remind the Ss that you can learn from mistakes and improve your creation. #GFPSLaunch

[Brandvold'sFirebirds @BrandvoldsClass]

A5: My favorite "launch" so far was when a Ss wrote a persuasive writing piece about a club that should be started at our school. I gave the principal the final draft & he wrote a response to the Ss about their proposal. The Ss was pretty excited to get a response! #GFPSLaunch

[Brandvold'sFirebirds @BrandvoldsClass]

@ericson_erin Agreed!

[Brandvold'sFirebirds @BrandvoldsClass]

A4: It is important to determine where to share their work, the same as it is important to define their audience. In defining their audience it may cause them to refine their product. #GFPSLaunch

[Brandvold'sFirebirds @BrandvoldsClass]

A3: Marketing helps students gain confidence and develop courage, it also teaches them about rejection and how to handle it. #GFPSLaunch

[Brandvold'sFirebirds @BrandvoldsClass]

A2: Ss who rush through things want to be done right away. Ss who have a hard time taking feedback, they did it once& that is good enough. Sharing w/ Ss your own experiences & failures & letting them know, it takes time & perseverance to create #GFPSLaunch

[Brandvold'sFirebirds @BrandvoldsClass]

A1: So students can learn to look at their creation and find ways to improve and make it better. So they learn its okay if it's not perfect the on the first try. #GFPSLaunch
