  • when I supply an answer or even suggest a method for finding an answer, I’m not truly helping.”
    • eswartzendruber
       
      It's so tempting to scaffold them to the right answer, but I realize that's not helping them be independent thinkers. I find that my students then rely on me to always be there to help them figure out the challenge.

    • eswartzendruber

  • support learning anywhere
    • eswartzendruber
       
      This is a huge benefit considering one of our biggest goals of teaching is to make students lifelong learners. However, what happens when students don't have access to resources outside of school?
  • strategies in place to guide and support these learners
    • eswartzendruber

  • Symbaloo
    • eswartzendruber
       
      As an elementary teacher, I think Symbaloo allows for more management. When meeting with students regarding their PL, we can find/add websites to Symbaloo together especially if they can't edit the "webmix" in their own accounts.
