Creating Classroom Culture
We know what we want and what kids need, how do we create that vision? Join Tara Maynard (@tmaynard5) as we share and learn how to create classroom culture.
Questions are not "timed". We begin with introductions at 8 p.m. (who you are, where you work, title assignment, something interesting about yourself). Tara will tweet out questions using "Q" and number, with text of the questions. Participants respond with "A" and corresponding number before the text answer. *Don't forget the hashtag #miched !
