Social Media
I don’t …
• tweet, facebook, blog, wiki, do that social media
“stuff.”
• have time for “that stuff.”
• do it because “That is for the kids.”
• do Facebook because I could get into trouble

• If you never drive a car, you wont get in an
accident.
• If you don't own a gun you will never get shot
• If you don't eat, you wont choke to death
• If you don't swim, you will never drown
• If you don't play, you will never lose

Classroom Spaces

space to create your chair?
• Did any of you immediately go to the web to
figure out how others have done it?
• What else did you notice about your group’s
behavior?

The Case for Space
This video makes the
argument
that the learning space is as
important as the learning
itself.
Let’s talk about that before
watching.

–Courtney Cislo 5th grade teacher
“You can have the best lesson and read the
most intriguing stories, but if you’ve lost your
students, your wonderful lesson wasn’t as
wonderful as you had hoped. For me that was
a huge wake-up call, that one math lesson
where I looked up from the overhead and
realized no one was with me. See, in my
head, it was going great. But it was going
great for me, not for them.”
Quadrant Examples
• Look at the videos assigned to your group.
• Use the quadrant to make an X during each part
of the lesson.
• Write what the teachers/students were doing and
approx. how much time was spent
