@kdeibert1 @cbjjaffe Self-advocacy is so important at all grade levels!

@cbjjaffe #delinnovate I collect powerful evidence of learning with digital portfolios, formative assessments, and monthly student- produced class newsletters

[Bernie Fierro @BernieFierro]

@cbjjaffe #delinnovate I see in my PLO opportunity for reflection, critical thinking, problem finding/solving, connected learning, and self-assessment. Things to work on include innovation, voice, and choice!

[Bernie Fierro @BernieFierro]

@kdeibert1 @cbjjaffe That's great! Opportunities for innovation are so important for students and teachers

@cbjjaffe I plan to make learning go viral by sharing my enthusiasm and passion for my courses and technology with my students and colleagues. I plan to share and create excitement using Twitter as a jumping off point. #delinnovate

[Bernie Fierro @BernieFierro]

@cbjjaffe Our department at school has tried a Facebook page and a newsletter for making learning go viral. When we go back this year, I am going to encourage quick sharing like Twitter with a department hashtag and flip grid to foster a culture of innovation #delinnovate

[Bernie Fierro @BernieFierro]

@marchunsky @cbjjaffe This is a great idea for including low- and no-tech people in a sharing community!

@cbjjaffe I'd like to see my school district change their approach to homework, ensuring that homework is meaningful, independent practice and eliminating mountains of busywork. I model this through continual reflection and refinement of my own homework assignments #delinnovate

[Bernie Fierro @BernieFierro]

I empower students by asking them how they would do something and providing choice - created at least in part by them- in place of steps. @cbjjaffe #delinnovate

[Bernie Fierro @BernieFierro]

@cbjjaffe Exciting, amazing!

[Bernie Fierro @BernieFierro]

@cbmfuller @cbjjaffe I'm interested to know what risks you model in your classroom. My experience with this has been very successful as students are motivated by seeing me figure out something new "on the spot"- especially a writing prompt.

[JoAnn Smith @JoAnnSmithCBSD]

@cbjjaffe I can empower students by creating an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect, and by fostering a collaborative and positive "yes" learning environment. #delinnovate

[Bernie Fierro @BernieFierro]

@BejonesC @cbjjaffe Choice is so important with technology as students test their comfort levels, and also recognizes a varying availability of technology across student populations. #delinnovate

[Bernie Fierro @BernieFierro]

I can create more opportunities for innovation by surveying students and collaborating with them. @cbjjaffe #delinnovate
