“I used to think it was boring & useless. Now I know it can tell me what’s for lunch.” Making our thinking visible & leaning on the expertise of our US Ss to help the MS Ss learn the ins and outs of our LMS. #visiblethinkingroutine #community @NewSchoolTweets

@DanielPink Was just listening to @RichardvReeves discuss his book & also mentioned giving greater autonomy (caveat: boys seem to require structure) & considering a conclusion from @JonHaidt's work : "More independence, free play, and responsibility in the real world" h/t @ajjuliani.

Want happier, healthier kids? Offer them autonomy. Massive new meta-analysis makes it plain: In every culture, control leaves children worse off — but autonomy helps them people engage, learn, and grow.

#Curiosity: “Can you create a hole in a sheet of paper large enough to walk through?” I love walking around watching each advisory bond and play together as we continue to build #character and #community here @NewSchoolTweets in the Middle School. Week 2 on the books!

G8 @TheMVDesignLab Ss have been designing, gathering feedback & iterating their house for Sparkle Village @SandySpringsGA. Today, #agency at work as they #kanban their way to project completion. #dtk12chat #designthinking #learnbydoing

Students created volleyball hitting boxes, a game-changer for our coaches. Collaborating, they prototyped and brought designs to life using Fusion 360. When Industrial Design meets Athletics 🤝 Next stop: Varsity Volleyball State Playoffs! Let's go Mustangs! 💙🏐

@jcolley8 Loved the thought piece. Am thinking of learners here in terms of students AND faculty.

HMW model & develop AI literacy in learners, so that they do not mistake machinic outputs for wonders? HMW leverage AI's wondrous powers to augment student learning & performance? Plato Warned Us About Elon, or Signs Mistaken for Wonders in the Age of AI rootededu.com/plato-warned-u…

For me, almost 40 years ago, @levarburton had THE VERY SAME book as Ms. Eagleton. Watching Reading Rainbow in my 1st grade class was a moment of #awe. HMW create those instances for our learners?? What Makes a Class Memorable? Moments of Awe greatergood.berkeley.edu/article/item/w…

@knowKMD @laura_mcbain @lisakaysolomon @jcolley8 @MHudsonMV @luckybydesign Y'all...he can DO the dishes. #dtk12chat

@laura_mcbain @lisakaysolomon @jcolley8 @welch79 @MHudsonMV Dude. I am about to MANIFEST this into my presentfuture. @luckybydesign you are coming. @lisakaysolomon clear your calendar. Leave the dishes to me. #dtk12chat

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH [me, looking at @lisakaysolomon + @jcolley8 + @welch79 + @MHudsonMV] If there was a way we could get y’all to Atlanta for a weekend, I would… do all your dishes for a whole school year. #dtk12chat

@_JasonBlair Signal strolls #ftw #dtk12chat.

@welch79 Yes! Signal strolls looking for markers for intervention, opportunities to create a future. #dtk12chat

To me it might be a class on wonder. Wonder can be about past & future. It seems like an essential disposition for making connections & moving forward. Wonder is playful too which can spark possibility thinking. #dtk12chat

@knowKMD ♥️♥️♥️

Beloved ones. My heart is full! Thank you for being here. #dtk12chat

@knowKMD @lisakaysolomon @jcolley8 @MHudsonMV And I would make dinner (for @knowKMD to do the dishes after). #dtk12chat

@laura_mcbain @knowKMD D) All of the above! #agency #dtk12chat

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH What a brave and liberatory reframe of "teaching", right?!? Dang. #dtk12chat

@luckybydesign @laura_mcbain @knowKMD The #QFT! @RightQuestion

@laura_mcbain @knowKMD I'm thinking about my grade 7 Social Studies class right now. It's all about Canadian history - how Europeans colonized and created the country of Canada. There's a glimmer of an idea here, around Worldbuilding... And how I might invite my learners to do this... #dtk12chat

@TheMVDesignLab @luckybydesign @laura_mcbain @DCulberhouse Also...talk about empathy...generational #empathy. #dtk12chat

@luckybydesign @laura_mcbain @DCulberhouse Wow. That… puts a wide spin on the “resilience” language that gets thrown around a lot. Often *at* kids, who are still wading through pandemic experiences. #dtk12chat

Q1. Introduce us to a child you cherish. Now imagine them in the world alive in 2098. What do you imagine? Hope for? Wonder/worry about? #dtk12chat

@_JasonBlair Schools also for #purpose.

A1 I hope we work maybe 3 days a week (AI freeing up time/UBI helping). Communities share resources transportation, food, shelter, etc. Schools aren’t for learning but4 designing. A move from space to acquire knowledge to applying it in ways that are just & sustainable #dtk12chat

It’s time to come together + practice all kinds of future-dreaming with @laura_mcbain (eeeeeeeee!) as she leads our empathy for what could be. THIS WED (10/4) at 9 PM EST - HMW learn futures design, together? - at #dtk12chat - Please join us!

You know it! The energy crackles when Ss start thinking with their hands. #dtk12chat

@DanielPink @UnivOfKansas @knowKMD 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻This!!

One good chat, one great day. 🌟 Research from @UnivOfKansas reveals that just one quality conversation with a friend --- something beyond small talk and pleasantries -- can demonstrably boost your daily well-being. Link: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117…
