RT @cybraryman1: What are the best ways that you use to engage your students? #edchat
Greg McVerryI would define engagement not as an outcome but as an increased level of participation in the content and discourses I am modeling #edchat
Greg McVerry@DrTimony @mbteach So engagement is a necessary element for transfer? #engchat
Greg McVerryRT @debbiefuco: Yes! @kylepace Modeling a true love of learning is completely necessary. Knowledge begets knowledge. Passion feeds pas ...
Greg McVerry@kstansberry Yeah we probably do, I would assume you have to model strategies to encourage students to exchange them in peer groups. #edchat
Greg McVerryThe other problem is being engaged doesn't necessarily equate learning. I could engage students by showering them with candy #edchat
Greg McVerry@msnorthrup I was being sarcastic. No way should a silly pie chart of state scores replace student work on the wall. #edchat
Greg McVerryRT @DrTimony: @mbteach narrow definitions of engagement? Anyone who says "I know students are engaged when..." #edchat
Greg McVerrybest way to improve engagement is to take up all the wall space for celebrating kids work and replace it with data walls. #edchat
Greg McVerry@kstansberry Again though I can give strategies for problem solving but it will not automatically translate to engagement. #engchat
Greg McVerryRT @kstansberry: @jgmac1106 @web20classroom Just giving kids problems doesn't promote engagement. Guiding them through problem-solving c ...
Greg McVerry@mikevigilant But simple steps can be to track books read with little cut outs of books, having showcase nights to display work, etc #edchat
Greg McVerry@mikevigilant In my perfect world (looking for angel investor to buy me a charter..hint hint..) extra-curricular would drive curric #edchat
Greg McVerry@mikevigilant i think whole school engagement projects require the building of a community making student groups the center piece #edchat
Greg McVerryRT @mbteach: @ktenkely @blairteach I almost feel guilty interrupting them sometimes, but we only have 45 min together! #edchat
Greg McVerryI think we need to expand our definition of engaged beyond bright eyed and bushy tailed #edchat
Greg McVerryIn many ways engagement is like a virus, contagious, needs a host, and the DNA quickly changes in different populations. #edchat
Greg McVerry@kstansberry @web20classroom Just giving real world problems and allowing for experimentation does not create engagement. #edchat
Greg McVerryRT @rickylynne76: I don't imagine engaged students and engaged adults look (or think or feel) any differently. #edchat
Greg McVerryEngagement isn't a lesson or a goal, it is a routine built over time with choice and mutual respect. #edchat
