We love working with Mrs. Susan Whiteland and her ASU students! They taught us the history of chess and helped us create our own “Outer Space” themed chess set using 3-D printers!! #caneclassroom #vparocks #weloveASU

A8: Procedures and modeling help the flow! They learn from watching! #JPSTICPCHAT

[VPA ACE @VPA_ACE]

A7: It’s a great way for kids to see that we make mistakes too! “Monitor, adjust and try again”. And it’s always smart to have some type of back up plan...even if it’s a simple one!😁 #JPSTICPCHAT

[VPA ACE @VPA_ACE]

A6: Google Forms! Loved how easy it was for the and me! Got instant feedback and they could see their results too! #JPSTICPCHAT

[VPA ACE @VPA_ACE]

A5: 1. Build confidence and reminding them that making mistakesis okay as long as they are trying! 2. Building the “backpacks” individually instead of whole group with my older kids! #JPSTICPCHAT

[VPA ACE @VPA_ACE]

A4: Goal-directed. A lot of times it’s hard to teach kids time management! #JPSTICPCHAT

[VPA ACE @VPA_ACE]

A3: I will continue to look for new tech opportunities or my kiddos! I love watching them learn and research! #JPSTICPCHAT

[VPA ACE @VPA_ACE]

A2: My students loved reaching out to “professionals” of a topic they were researching through twitter! #JPSTICPCHAT
