#MPSChat A4: Summer PD and a lot of books!

#MPSChat A3: we've been able to use remote learning to really think about personalized learning and use those lessons to grow and better our practices forever.

#MPSChat A2: not being in school.

#MPSChat A1: Working with @MAcevedo_04 to get our PL cohort up and running!

#MPSChat Josh here, Academic Facilitator, mhs/mvmms -- probably just reading on the porch. And our Personalized Learning PD, too, of course!

#MPSChat A3: creating some offline PBLs (or blended PBLs) would be a fun challenge.

#MPSChat A2: All the screencasting tech. And of course Classroom and Meet have been essential. And also Newsela.

#MPSChat A1: Voice and Choice. Providing options so students can meet goals in ways that are interesting to them.

#MPSChat Hi all, Josh here, Academic Facilitator 6-12. I'm going to have to go with Parks and Rec

#MPSChat A3: Definitely the main challenge is moving from teacher-led to student-centered. Instead of suggesting the means, students choosing not only the best method of sharing information but also choosing the best opportunity for growth and learning.

#MPSChat A2: Personalized learning. Students set goals, reflect, and ultimately choose how to best meet the objectives for the class. Our routines align with the inquiry process -- being clear and transparent in the steps is important.

#MPSChat A1: It's all about voice and choice. Allowing agency and the opportunity to prove learning in different ways.

hi #MPSChat , Josh here - Academic Facilitator, 6-12.  Walking, I'd say.

#MPSChat A4: Our new Personalized Learning cohort is the best resource for me. We're trying out a lot of really great things! Blog post to follow...

#MPSChat A3: One challenge we're working on is to use goal setting as a strategy to help students analyze the wealth of choices and then to choose what is both the best method to express learning and to provide the opportunity to extend learning even further.

#MPSChat A2: Goal setting is key, and building in reflection is just as important. These can be great activators and summarizers. We also break down the inquiry process into specific modules, highlighting procedure and routine.

#MPSChat A1: For choice, I really like creating playlists in Google Classroom, utilizing the topics feature. From there, you can incorporate a lot of blended techniques and truly allow students take ownership of their learning.

hi #MPSChat ! Josh here, Academic Facilitator, 6-12. Currently reading Gretchen McCulloch's "Because Internet," a very cool linguistics book.

Thank you @MAcevedo_04 for another great #MPSChat !

#MPSChat A4 - I'm also very excited to try edulastic for instant feedback. Besides that, all the Google apps. And Classroom, obviously.
