#edu407 I actually shy away from trying to build my vocabulary lesson plans away from students selecting words they do not know from independent reading. I want to be very deliberate in the words I choose and it is impossible to know which to pick from 25 different books. Instead have students collect them and feel free to select from their notebooks.

@jimgroom Thx, We should catch up sometime and check out what we are doing with @goifoundation and @reclaimhosting I couldn't fit #oer19 into my travel budget and my brother's wedding is #Domains19 but it could be model of how we let networks unleash themselves.
