A5 I think its great to connect with educators - get ideas - get inspired - see their passion. Twitter is a good tool for us if it is used correctly. #385edchat
A4 Food is a great motivator at the eCad. It's hard to get some of our students to come in but when food is involved the numbers tend to increase. I am all over the virtual field trips. Bring on the goggles.

A3 The eCademy is an open room. We have pretty tight quarters. I get to listen in on my colleagues working with their students all the time. Whether it is via phone calls, eCafe visits or virtual lessons. #385edchat
@Woods1stgrade @mrsfacs I agree, academics is just one part of an education. Responsibility,resourcefulness and grit are not to be overlooked! #385edchat
A2. I am all for doing what's best for kids. If this will prepare students to be more successful in business and life, let's jump on board. Working with businesses and doing community service projects will teach Andover students real world skills.

A1. The strategy I could use with my eCademy students is the Two-Dollar summary. Students can tweet me their summary, each word will be worth $.10. #385edchat
This is Jacob, the eCademy tech guy. He keeps all of our students laptops up and working. You might be surprised what kids can do to their computers when they work from home. #385edchat
