A challenge to us all: how might we make small yet significant choices daily that move us toward a more equitable more inclusive experience for our students? #ettsummit

Can we make learning an inclusive social space? @smartinez guides #gender inclusion #ettsummit

[Robert Simpson @neotech03]

How do you decrease performance on math exams for girls? Just have them confirm their gender before taking a test. @smartinez #ettsummit

@johannaprince Thanks! Relentless curiosity is a number one value for myself and my students, and it turns out that other people's passions may be the best inspiration for cultivating curiosity. #edmuse #ettsummit #sjateach

@johannaprince applying Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory to the idea of increasing participation of girls in tech; starting small is ok #ettsummit

“Give the pupils something to do, not something to learn; and the doing is of such a nature as to demand thinking; learning naturally results.” #projectbasedlearning #ettsummit

@dscavitto Can we have a common bucket of these questions? I have some I use with design classes eg Game Design but am always looking for new ways to stretch their reflective/metacognitive muscles.

[Elia Desjardins @eliajn]

Loving the game of Extraordinaires for jump-starting design thinking @dkiang #ettsummit

@dscavitto @lizlaverty @evensupposing Hm, this just came up in my session too. Sounds like a book club!

Color-a-mood day in game design, students are quieter than they've ever been, clicking within the lines. #shouldcolormoreoften #sjateach
