Carissa---You are my favorite procrastinator to work with....we're so much alike!

A7A Some student are very concrete and change is difficult, but seating changes are probably the least challenging so use it to ease them in to shuffling it up. #ed608

A6 hashtag you're killing me hashtag less is more! I enjoyed the highlight and mention by classmate that the process is useful and functional to be posted and not just the end product #ed608

@Shannon60654077 Love that word advocacy...good one. just like with medical issues, so good to learn to advocate for oneself

hashtag 'cumbersome' The seating will facilitate different types of interaction #ed608

[Gregg Winters @WintersSpanish]

A4 Not sure. In high school I generally don't assign seats and find those that can't see sit in the back and those that can't hear sit near the most foot traffic. (hashtag 'confused') That's one of the reasons I do much shifting through the year as I get to know them #ED608

@MrsMoody138 Yes, the different environments.

A3: They get to see different approaches to the same promblem. #ed608

[Gregg Winters @WintersSpanish]

@MrsClay526 @ms_meymandi That is true...comfy and happy works for the most part. Sometimes I like to shock them out of their comfort zone with 'uncomfy' and perhaps slightly 'unhappy'

@justincholbrook A2: I'm not sure off the top of my head. Ask the kids, they'll help us with good ideas. I sometimes neglect the resource that's in front of my face every day.

[Gregg Winters @WintersSpanish]

@justincholbrook Very true. This would help in the ESOL classroom too.

[Gregg Winters @WintersSpanish]

A1: The biggest take away for me was that it suggest to have the kids be included more in the process. Classroom flexibility is not something new for me but that part makes me more cognizant of the student piece. #ED608

A5: Many of the great 8 overlap as characteristics that make a great foreign language teacher. Would you agree Carissa? Being a risk taker is my strength but networked definitely needs growth #BmoreEdchat #thegreat8

[Gregg Winters @WintersSpanish]

A4: Innovation in the classroom can be hampered by "stuff" often known as paperwork....Like Sam says "walk the talk" and don't just be great on paper. Implement the words... #BmoreEdchat

[Gregg Winters @WintersSpanish]

A3: Innovation can only occur via the need and/or desire to make something better. Willingness to grow...growth mindset #BmoreEdchat

[Gregg Winters @WintersSpanish]

A2 Twitter could help expand my PLN and I would like to use it to find Spanish speaking presenters for my classroom. It will help make my students and school feel like part of the world community #BmoreEdchat
