This past week I was visiting classrooms and tweeting pictures of all the great things that are happening. Each time that I do this sort of thing I amazed at all the wonderful learning experiences our students are involved with on a consistent basis. It seemed like every classroom I walked into students were collaborating on some sort of activity, lab, or assignment. The teachers were being the "guide on the side" rather than the "sage on the stage." This sort of collaborative learning environment helps tremendously as we look to prepare students for the future. Hands on activities in any subject area is the way to go in my book. Below you will see some of our students in action as they make sense of their learning in a collaborative and hands-on environment.

Great pics! Thanks for being a leader in the positive use of Twitter for collaboration. We need more leaders to take the reins. Removing the fear is key! Social media is a tool and it can be used in productive and engaging ways. Way to go!
