The secret to rich classroom discussions? The 2nd question you ask students. Instead of moving on after a quick answer, try:

🔹 “Why do you think that?”
🔹 “How does your classmate’s idea challenge your thinking?”
🔹 “Who can build on this idea?”

When Jen Roberts / @jen.litandtech.com talks to students who she knows have turned in AI writing as their own work, she almost always starts with the same question:

“Tell me what happened here?”

Train your students to act like historians! A See, Think, Wonder activity helps them observe and ask good questions. 🔍 🤔

See, Think, Wonder is a thinking routine developed by Project Zero.

Evaluating Primary Sources Through a See, Think, Wonder
By taking the time to observe, make inferences, and ask great questions about historical artifacts and images, students learn to avoid jumping to conclusions.

A day late, but... @jenniferlagarde.bsky.social helped me survive MANY years and I look forward to continued mischief and magic with her! Also, my amazing team of Digital Learning Specialists (not on this platform...yet) who I can not survive without on a daily basis! #TLSkyChat
Q7: Let’s give some shoutouts to those people who helped us survive 2024 AND who we’re looking forward to making mischief and magic with in 2025! Note: they do not need to be on Bluesky, but if they are, be sure to share their handles!
