A3: With all of the Google Forms, Docs, Facebook Live, … that exist there are so many meaningful ways to give feedback in a timely manner. #learnbpschat

A2: Working at your own pace and at your own schedule can be a double edged sword. Some may excel at it while others might not have the self-discipline to succeed. #learnbpschat

A1: I would imagine that science labs and any class that requires materials/manipulatives could be a challenge. #learnbpschat

[Mark Neset @MarkNeset]

A3: I try to stay active outside of school whether it be coaching my kids, officiating and playing hockey, or just going for a run. #learnbpschat

[Mark Neset @MarkNeset]

A2: We started a check in / check out system with some of our heavy hitters which has had mixed results so far. If we can get the parents involved, like most things, it tends to be more successful. #learnbpschat

A1: 2nd Step is something that our school is implementing more and more. I try to refer to the 2nd Step weekly topic in my math class when possible. #learnbpschat

A3: During PLC/Teaming if someone has a problem then they must write 3 things on a notecard: 1. What’s the problem. 2. A possible solution to the problem. 3. An estimated amount of time to discuss the problem. #learnbpschat

A2: Not getting defensive. #learnbpschat

A1: My calendar on my phone has been the greatest thing. It allows me to juggle both my professional and personal schedule.

A4: How to motivate the unmotivated? This question applies to students I teach, athletes I coach, and fellow teachers I work with. I can pursue this in my PLC, coaching conventions, and teaching conferences. #learnbpschat

[Mark Neset @MarkNeset]

A3: I like Backwards Design the best. If you start with a goal in mind then you can create steps to help reach that goal. #learnbpschat

[Mark Neset @MarkNeset]

A2: Action Research. It’s sometimes scary to try something new knowing that it might bomb. We’re basically using human subjects (our students) as guinea pigs while their education is on line. However, we need to keep trying. #learnbpschat

[Mark Neset @MarkNeset]

A1: This is very common in the Marines. Everyone in the unit must have a common belief that failure is not an option and we must do whatever we can to be successful. #learnbpschat

[Mark Neset @MarkNeset]

A4: It allows many opportunities for kids to get involved in a conversation where they might not always be as comfortable saying something face to face but they are more comfortable typing their responses. #learnbpschat

[Mark Neset @MarkNeset]

A3: In my math class, Problem Based Inquiry is everywhere. However, I could see many examples where Scenario Based Inquiry could be used as well. #learnbpschat

[Mark Neset @MarkNeset]

A2: The biggest barrier I see is keeping the conversation on task and meaningful to all students. I need to come up with engaging questions that require meaningful thought and response. #learnbpschat

[Mark Neset @MarkNeset]

A1: Sometimes they do. Much of it depends on the math content that we are studying. #learnbpschat

[Mark Neset @MarkNeset]

A5: Bring back the 8th Grade field trip to Medora. I would bet that any student that went to Hughes/Horizon middle school from the 1990’s to 2010 remembers that experience more than anything else in middle school. #learnbpschat

[Mark Neset @MarkNeset]

A4: Support from admin, parents, fellow teachers, students, and community members. Basically, all stakeholders. Freedom to get away from standards and test data and actually teach something meaningful. #learnbpschat

[Mark Neset @MarkNeset]

A3: It’s what they will remember more than anything else taught in school. #learnbpschat
