Educator w/ a passion for Deeper Learning. Strives to guide learners to be knowledge seekers through use of PBL, Makerspace, Math Modeling, NGSS, and Technology
Thank you @CotsenAoT and Cotsen La Verne PFY team for making @LaVernePUSD Back to School Night Reimagined possible. From funding to planning to implementation - your hard work and dedication shows that together we can innovate new possibilities.
The person doing the work is the person doing the learning. The quick and dirty is to start a lesson with the students doing the thinking. See what they come up with and then go from there. Even if they come up with nothing then they realize they really really need you.
An essential challenge for parents and teachers - and it IS a challenge - is to celebrate kids who have the gumption to question what they're told and even to help them become reflective rebels. Instead, too many adults prefer the “child of least resistance”
‘Children are the creators. Technology merely brings their genius to life.’
This is such an important mindset to instill in the next, digital generation.

Preston turns a traditional “claim writing” assignment upside down, using multimedia to design visuals that amplifly his messaging. Video doesn’t replace the need for language, it fuels the desire to find the right words to express ideas on a deeper level. #EdChatME#AppleEDUchat
Nothing about my traditional schooling made me curious only learn how to play the system. The brain's chemistry changes when we become curious, helping us better learn and retain information https://t.co/9scB8t9SzP #edchat
