FA: Using and what else to me is important. It is a way to dig deeper into a conversation. #ALTIC

A2: Emotionally compelling is the hardest - hard for some to express the “feel and think.” #ALTIC

A1: my experience was positive. It all made sense and most importantly student focused. #ALTIC

@KieshaArceneaux Interaction is key to engagement. Using questioning and turn and talk strategies are so important.

A3: Students’ interaction with a lesson and its components is so telling. Sometimes educators can be “busy” during the delivery or management of a lesson and miss key cues or fail to reflect on the student component. In this way we miss out on key opportunities to grow. #ALTIC

@KieshaArceneaux @EmilyMDunleavy Love the simplicity of the feedback. Quick and informative.

@EmilyMDunleavy After video recording a lesson today the teacher conducted a brief thumbs up/down survey of students about the new tool used. Such a simple, but honest way to gather some basic feedback that helped support the use of new and innovative tools despite the growing pains. #ALTIC

Q3: Through the student interviews I held, I was able to get a clear picture of the climate of the classroom. It also opened my eyes to some of the "inner thoughts" of the students that I couldn't tell from the video recording. #ALTIC

@EHNnovate @Go_ALET So true! Student voice is extremely important in the learning process.

Q3: How can we learn from students through videotaping, interviews, and more? #ALTIC
