Play is shorthand for a combination of curiosity, initiative, and iterative design. Isn't this what we want in Ss? #edplayevanrhartman

#edplay. Folks don't you think play indicates curiosityFlytoLearn
17
We will wrap up now. I appreciate everyone who came to chat! Love the honest talk that happened. #edplaycoffeechugbooks
18
@coffeechugbooks @evanrhartman One of the barriers to #edplay has to be the battle to convince Ts that it does not have to be expensive.WillGourley

RT @mcleod: Play in the classroom could look something like the video clip.http://t.co/vzmr981lxN #edplayMikeAnderson_34

@FlytoLearn @coffeechugbooks @WillGourley "I'm not a reading person" makes you sound like a moron. #edplayevanrhartman
23
. @evanrhartman I run Tinker Time for Teachers once a week and it is a blast to challenge Ts to just play #edplaycoffeechugbooks
24
. @evanrhartman Either. I think it is important to explore beyond just Ss. #edplaycoffeechugbooks
25
. @dotto50 Thanks for joining Doug. Appreciate it greatly. #edplaycoffeechugbooks
26
. @kej418 I will send you the title in a bit. Too lazy to go downstairs and look at the book. #edplay #comfycouchcoffeechugbooks
27
. @WillGourley @evanrhartman I love the baloney slices. I am using that tomorrow for sure! #edplaycoffeechugbooks
28
Does #edplay have to be S originated or can it be situational per the T? Can it be either?evanrhartman
29
#edplay sorry to leave now. Great ideas being discussed. Hope to join again soon.dotto50

@coffeechugbooks what book is that?! #edplaykej418
31
. @WillGourley @evanrhartman I am rarely ever in front of the room in typical T pose. I am always mixed in among my Little Lattes #edplaycoffeechugbooks
32
@evanrhartman True, I've heard it, but I just call baloney slices whenever Ss try to justify that state of mind in Math. #edplayWillGourley
33
. @npete62 @FlytoLearn Removing all chairs would be awesome! Kids would be so confused! #edplaycoffeechugbooks
34
. @evanrhartman @WillGourley I agree that it is BS, but this is mindset of parents as well “My kid is not good in math.” #edplaycoffeechugbooks
35
@evanrhartman Have been surprised to look up and see admin looking for me in the room while entire class was engrossed in Tangrams #edplayWillGourley
36
@WillGourley never had a S tell you "I'm not a math person"? It's BS but it happens all the time! #edplayevanrhartman
37
@FlytoLearn Remove chairs so Ss have to be up moving around. Activity removes passivity. #edplaynpete62
38
@coffeechugbooks @WillGourley not a question of how math applies, a question of getting kids to find joy and wonder in math #edplayevanrhartman
39
A4: One thing that I think is vital for this to happen is that the T has to love play and lead by example #edplaycoffeechugbooks
40
That is just the 50s talking! @evanrhartman I call BullS#%!+ on that one. #edplay #mathchatWillGourley
41
. @FlytoLearn I am blessed to have that! We struggle with community and parents having buy in #edplaycoffeechugbooks
42
. @evanrhartman @WillGourley I just found a book that connects math to the world in about every aspect of life. #edplaycoffeechugbooks
43
. @FlytoLearn How we do get older gets active in the experience when they are content being passive? #edplaycoffeechugbooks

#edplay a good principal recognizes learning in all of its formsFlytoLearn

Here is a little project we're planning based on this video. http://t.co/rpUZpN4uRE #edplay #makered

. @WillGourley Music always helps. My wife always start her math class everyday with music. Really sets a mood. #edplaycoffeechugbooks
47
@WillGourley interesting idea. Math is tough bc so many believe there are Math people and nonmath people. #edplayevanrhartman
48
#edplay play requires active involvement in the experienceFlytoLearn
49
A4 @coffeechugbooks I think it requires a willing spirit and an absolute comfort with controlled chaos. Good music helps too. #edplayWillGourley
50
@coffeechugbooks that said, play feels subversive. Easier to ask forgiveness than permission #edplayevanrhartman
51
. @npete62 Freedom to make mistakes, try again, and keep working on an idea to find a solution without fear of being perfect. #edplaycoffeechugbooks
52
@evanrhartman
Can create a wonder wall that includes math? Could start them off in the right direction for #geniushour #edplay
WillGourley
53
full disclosure, I work in the same district as Aaron #edplayevanrhartman
54
#edplay play is not entertainmentFlytoLearn
55
Q4: What have you found to help as an educator to bring the whole idea of play into your classroom? #edplaycoffeechugbooks
56
. @evanrhartman @WillGourley Perhaps that is where the Innovation Class/Lab comes into play to bring #geniushour into math world #edplaycoffeechugbooks
57
I feel supported with being able to create play/tinker time in my building, but not enough push for it #edplaycoffeechugbooks
58
@WillGourley @coffeechugbooks I like the idea of genius hour. Want to incorporate it into cs courses.how to get it into math, tho? #edplayevanrhartman
59
. @npete62 Great question and thanks for checking out the chat #edplaycoffeechugbooks
60
@evanrhartman @clintsurry @coffeechugbooks backmapping Ss learning to standards #SBG or #CBE style. Then fill in gaps. #edplayMikeAnderson_34
61
Hi Aaron. Enjoying the discussion. Question - What does an "it's okay to play" environment look like? #edplaynpete62
62
@MikeAnderson_34 @coffeechugbooks repetition may be the mother of learning, but failure/adaptation is certainly the father #edplayevanrhartman
63
. @evanrhartman I don’t think enough of our Ss hold real value in learning. School is just something you have to do #edplaycoffeechugbooks
64
A3: I see Ts let Ss play and explore with purpose. Most Ss jump in and take off. Ts have hard time pulling back reigns sometimes #edplaydotto50
65
@coffeechugbooks Slowly introducing #edplay as a viable option along the lines of #geniushour #HourOfCode I feel supported by my admin.WillGourley
66
. @WillGourley Example, More learning happens with #FLL First Lego League than any class I have ever taught. #edplaycoffeechugbooks
67
@coffeechugbooks do you think that, on the margin, Ss in USA view school that way? Have to change attitudes #edplayevanrhartman
68
. @WillGourley So true! I see many valuing play in after school activities/clubs, but just not during the school day #edplaycoffeechugbooks
69
@evanrhartman @coffeechugbooks need to break down Ss and reprogram for a different kind of ed. Explore tinker learn from failures. #edplayMikeAnderson_34
70
@clintsurry @coffeechugbooks the very meaning of authenticity in Ed. How to make this align to CCSS tho? #edplayevanrhartman
71
. @evanrhartman As I work with schools around the world school is viewed as a resource and a way to a better life #edplaycoffeechugbooks
72
A3 @coffeechugbooks Biggest prob is coming from time lag. Have to do much of the #edplay #makered at recess time. Scarcity of resources too.WillGourley
73
@coffeechugbooks @evanrhartman #edplay Ss have to own Qs, not wait to be told to Learn...Ss must drive learning...then play comes naturallyclintsurry
74
@coffeechugbooks it's learned helplessness. Put those kids in a diff context and they thrive. Conditioned to view school as dull #edplayevanrhartman
75
. @MikeAnderson_34 Anything with education takes time and this whole idea requires changing mindset of parents and community #edplaycoffeechugbooks
76
@clintsurry @coffeechugbooks I like the idea. Taught cs using mastery. Had a stream of Ps asking to monitor Ss progress. #edplayevanrhartman
77
We have some amazing Ts trying to bring in play/exploration in a digital literacy class and kids just sit there helpless #edplaycoffeechugbooks
78
@coffeechugbooks Play doesn't fit what we've been programmed to believe school is: drill and kill. It's changing, not fast enough #edplayMikeAnderson_34
79
. Hello @WillGourley @ryanhorne0076 @trotter_sara @bill_m_4 Glad to see you make it over. #edplaycoffeechugbooks
80
. @clintsurry Right now @evanrhartman is doing just that with a class, but how do we get buy in with more kids? #edplaycoffeechugbooks
81
@coffeechugbooks @evanrhartman #edplay change from grade for completion @ end crs to assess readiness to begin next level @ beginningclintsurry
82
RT @evanrhartman: A3: a lot of pushback. "Just tell me what to do!" Tough to build intellectual initiative and curiosity. #edplayWillGourley
83
. @coffeechugbooks Jump on into the chat to offer some Ss perspective #edplaycoffeechugbooks
84
@ryanhorne0076 @trotter_sara @bill_m_4 Thank you all for a much needed mid-week pick me up. Migrating to #edplay to scratch a #makered itchWillGourley
85
@coffeechugbooks @evanrhartman #edplay but this is where we get Ss to bring own Qs & help build curric directly rather than passive particclintsurry
86
. @evanrhartman Grades do reign supreme. At lower levels that facts are easy to help prepare while “play” has not right answer #edplaycoffeechugbooks
87
Mike Anderson-Instructional Tech Consultant Prairie Lakes AEA. Maker STEMer Inquiry is where its at? #edplay #kidsareinbedMikeAnderson_34
88
@coffeechugbooks parents don't help. Put a lot of pressure on Ss to do well and get into college. Value grades over learning. #edplayevanrhartman
89
. @MikeAnderson_34 Why do you think this suspicion occurs? What creates this idea that something is not right? #edplaycoffeechugbooks
90
. @evanrhartman I would assume it is even a tougher battle trying to change mindset by the time they are in high school #edplaycoffeechugbooks
91
A3: I see Ss having lost the love to just explore. They have been drilled to follow #edplaycoffeechugbooks
92
A3: a lot of pushback. "Just tell me what to do!" Tough to build intellectual initiative and curiosity. #edplayevanrhartman
93
@clintsurry retention is better when learning is authentic and in context! #edplayevanrhartman
94
I know that right now we are having issues where our Ss don’t know how to play and don’t want to explore #edplaycoffeechugbooks
95
@coffeechugbooks have to start by accepting that play means that every student will have slightly diff exp based on their choices #edplayevanrhartman
96
Q3: What issues have you had implementing the notion of play/tinkering in your classroom in terms of staff, student, parent buy in? #edplaycoffeechugbooks
97
. @clintsurry Yes because when ask most people their favorite learning experience it is often not found in school #edplaycoffeechugbooks
98
#edplay play tends to lead to'remembered' learning, rather than 'forgotten' as they leave the classclintsurry
99
. @evanrhartman I never thought of it as either/or but this is so true. How do we blend the two factions? #edplaycoffeechugbooks

#edplay play provides good opportunity to bridge learning to real world seamlesslyclintsurry
