A5: google slides, quizziz, etc, but it was more for review than extension for me! #SalemESchat

[Cathy Whelan @cathy_whelan]

A4: Many times I am challenged in helping S meet the standards, when given the chance I turn to grade level to help extend them #SalemESchat

[Cathy Whelan @cathy_whelan]

A3: Effort always trumps final product. A T who is proud of effort provides the envir for a S to be proud and take more chances #SalemESchat

[Cathy Whelan @cathy_whelan]

A2: Giving choices always engages learning. Tech is a bonus if avail #SalemESchat

[Cathy Whelan @cathy_whelan]

Coming to you live from CAROVA, OBX.........#Salemeschat

[Cathy Whelan @cathy_whelan]

A6: we need to come to planning w/ ideas, that saves time & allows Ts to share their ideas with each other, oh and MORE time #SalemESChat

[Cathy Whelan @cathy_whelan]

A5: Barriers are time, tech, teacher being hesitant to start something that might actually fail! #SalemESChat

[Cathy Whelan @cathy_whelan]

A4: use of tech with choices of type of presentation, pics, etc. for projects is most recent for me #SalemESChat

[Cathy Whelan @cathy_whelan]

A3: we start with teaching, modeling and using accountable talk. That helps to create a safe envir for students to take risks #SalemESChat
