@MsJoudreyJr Play based learning is not just for kids. PBL = PBL? #upeied626

@nessa_shipley love Jody! read Kids These Days this summer and was smitten. What did she say about technology and change? #upeied626

[Dr. Alaina Roach O'Keefe @alainaro]

@heatmorley @nessa_shipley conversely they could be 'creating' in a new way with media - boredom can spinoff in many ways. #upeied626

[Dr. Alaina Roach O'Keefe @alainaro]

@heatmorley @nessa_shipley reducing the amount of activities and screen time is important - their 'go-to' is often screen time. the best is when you find them playing in a box. I want to be bored too. #upeied626

@RonMacdonald390 interesting twitter chat happening over at #upeied626

@kelly_kbanks I vote for "steeped in read-life problem solving"! #upeied626

[Dr. Alaina Roach O'Keefe @alainaro]

@MsJoudreyJr Agreed. "The mere act of letting technology loose in schools... would do a lot of good. But we can do much more than that" (Fullan, p.75). I challenge each of you to think about doing more than that. #upeied626

[Dr. Alaina Roach O'Keefe @alainaro]

@amorrison_pei great question!!! #upeied626

[Dr. Alaina Roach O'Keefe @alainaro]

@heatmorley @melinda_crowell most of the time, formative evaluation is the way to go but when would summative test taking be the way? when would a teacher have rationale? #upeied626

[Dr. Alaina Roach O'Keefe @alainaro]

@heatmorley First thing that comes to mind: Involve the students! Innovative! They often think about learning different than we do. #upeied626

[Dr. Alaina Roach O'Keefe @alainaro]

@amorrison_pei https://t.co/ocqDBl1tri! When did you create?

[Dr. Alaina Roach O'Keefe @alainaro]

@Andrew_Newcombe @Zimian1984 Yes! More process vs product. Fullan says "we should do less of spending money on assessment detached from designing learning and more of creating learning experiences that are irresistibly engaging" p.75. Thoughts? #upeied626

[Dr. Alaina Roach O'Keefe @alainaro]

testing. it's been a while #upeied626-79

This weekend, if a child is watching TV or a movie, why not join them? "Co-viewing," as it's called, has a range of positive benefits. How you interact is important, though, @CommonSense explains. https://t.co/3ttJ4mesFg
