 * kassandraboyd || 8:32 PM || Hello from The Hague, PYP curriculum manager here. ||
 * jennysfen || 8:33 PM || RT @whatedsaid: Not many here, but let's kick off with Q1. What are the characteristics of a 'sound' central idea? #pypchat ||
 * kassandraboyd || 8:34 PM || For the next hour my tweets will be dedicated to #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:35 PM || Q1 open to many interpretations; inviting to different learning styles #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:35 PM || A1 It must be engaging &amp; challenging - something that can sustain inquiries from various perspectives and levels #pypchat ||
 * Kelli_Cody || 8:35 PM || Must be a bigger concept not a topic #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:35 PM || A1 Global reach #pypchat ||
 * Kelli_Cody || 8:36 PM || â€œ@whatedsaid: A1 Conceptual, transferable, universalâ€. I agree that is a better way to say it! #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:36 PM || A1: #pypchat Conceptual. Flexible. ||
 * noahbeaumont || 8:36 PM || Q.1 Accessible to all #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:36 PM || @jennysfen @whatedsaid A1. Many characteristics but best is "Its timeless". #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:36 PM || RT @DwyerTeacher: Q1 open to many interpretations; inviting to different learning styles #pypchat Agree! ||
 * kassandraboyd || 8:36 PM || A1 provokes student interest and engagement with inquiry #pypchat ||
 * JinaBel28 || 8:36 PM || #pypchat I'm the Yr 4 teacher and I'm here. ||
 * travisattis || 8:37 PM || A1. Many characteristics but best is "Its timeless". #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:37 PM || #pypchat Not too narrow. Has to allow for a diversity of explorations. ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:37 PM || A1 Conceptual, engaging, transferable, universal #pypchat ||

 * wholeboxndice || 8:38 PM || @whatedsaid spot on! #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:38 PM || We're discussing Q1. What are the characteristics of a 'sound' central idea? #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:39 PM || @JoyVillamarin Welcome Annabelle. We are talking Q1: what are the chracteristics of a sound Central Idea?. #pypchat ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 8:39 PM || @jennysfen @dwyerteacher Agree! Must be worth exploring and transferable. #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:39 PM || @travisattis True - if it is an important conceptual understanding, it was important long ago and will be important in the future #pypchat ||
 * kassandraboyd || 8:39 PM || A1 'sound' ci's allow students to build understanding of the relevant transdisciplinary theme. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:39 PM || RT @jocpyp: It can be investigated at any level. It has depth for inquiry. It is a neutral statement. It contains big ideas. #pypchat ||
 * jocpyp || 8:39 PM || It can be investigated at any level. It has depth for inquiry. It is a neutral statement. It contains big ideas. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:39 PM || @JoyVillamarin Hi and welcome. First time? #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:40 PM || @DwyerTeacher My tweetdeck not happy either! #pypchat ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 8:40 PM || #iben #pypchat Now I am connectedâ€¦ Had to unprotect my tweets... ||
 * Clare_In_Tokyo || 8:40 PM || #pypchat I think the students have to be able to come to a good understanding of it, so accessible ||
 * jennysfen || 8:40 PM || RT @kassandraboyd: A1 'sound' ci's allow students to build understanding of the relevant transdisciplinary theme. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:40 PM || @kassandraboyd Oh yes :-) Don't judge us for what we forget to say! #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:40 PM || my tweetdeck feed is really odd tonight, not seeing much #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:41 PM || @teachernz Enjoy the conversation! #pypchat ||
 * kassandraboyd || 8:41 PM || @whatedsaid I'm here as me, not my role. :) no judgements, committed to building understanding together...miss being in a school #pypchat ||
 * chrisonmosby || 8:41 PM || #pypchat Good morning from Washington DC. Getting ready to teach for early AM college English class. ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:41 PM || @teachernz Hi Lurker #pypchat ||
 * teachernz || 8:41 PM || Lurking #pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:42 PM || #pypchat Would you say that a strong central idea often links in easily to other central ideas? Interwoven learning throughout a school yr? ||
 * teachernz || 8:42 PM || RT @Kelli_Cody: A1 have depth so learners go explore their own directions #pypchat ||
 * JinaBel28 || 8:42 PM || #pypchat A1 It can be connected to in many ways - interpreted and internalised by all students ||
 * jennysfen || 8:42 PM || RT @whatedsaid: Q2. What are your tips for working towards a sound central idea? #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:42 PM || @chrisonmosby Great to have you! #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:43 PM || We are on Q2. What are your tips for working towards a sound central idea? #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:43 PM || @brettelockyer interesting observation. I think that when you have big enduring understandings it is easier to make connections #pypchat ||
 * noahbeaumont || 8:43 PM || Collaboration voicing ideas clarifying with others different lenses #pypchat ||
 * jocpyp || 8:43 PM || Make a checklist of all necessary elements and use it once CI is created #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:43 PM || @brettelockyer good question. I think links can be made via the transdip themes #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:43 PM || @mlrose14 Hi Miranda!! #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:43 PM || @brettelockyer Interesting... They don't always, but great when connections can be made #pypchat ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 8:43 PM || #pypchat CI need to have a certain level of uncovering. Something not easy to answer... Worth exploring. ||
 * teachernz || 8:43 PM || RT @kassandraboyd: A1 provokes student interest and engagement with inquiry #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:43 PM || Hi from Accra! Miranda Rose, PYP coordinator here- in between collaborative meetings. #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:44 PM || RT @whatedsaid: We are on Q2. What are your tips for working towards a sound central idea? #pypchat ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:44 PM || @jennysfen @whatedsaid revisit it several times over the arc of the inquiry asking "How is the way we read this changing?" #pypchat ||
 * kassandraboyd || 8:44 PM || RT @JinaBel28: #pypchat A1 It can be connected to in many ways - interpreted and internalised by all students #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:44 PM || @noahbeaumont hey there he is! Welcome #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:44 PM || Always think it's important to put aside the idea of 'Where you want to take the students" rather "Where can the students take me" #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:44 PM || @noahbeaumont welcome to the chat! #pypchat ||
 * tgaletti || 8:44 PM || Not participating today but reading along when I get a chance ;) #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:45 PM || A2 Sharing a possible idea for a central idea with many others - different perspectives and thinking out loud #pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:45 PM || @jennysfen #pypchat Ah yes, thanks for growing my thinking. Big enduring understandings - sounds tasty! ||
 * travisattis || 8:45 PM || A2 Its transdisciplinary. Subject specialists working with classroom teachers. Shared common understandings. #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:45 PM || Q2: We try to ensure that CI's are grounded in concepts. #pypchat ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:46 PM || @wholeboxndice Yep - the CI needs to be generative not restrictive. #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:46 PM || RT @whatedsaid: Q3 is connected to #2, so attack them together if you like: Q3. How do you collaborate on creating a central idea? #pypchat ||
 * Kelli_Cody || 8:46 PM || A2 remembering what is is we want learners to come away with and build on over the PYP #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:46 PM || Q3 is connected to #2, so attack them together if you like: Q3. How do you collaborate on creating a central idea? #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:46 PM || @jennysfen @brettelockyer I agree- and there is room for in-depth inquiry #pypchat ||
 * chrisonmosby || 8:47 PM || #pypchat This discussion makes me miss teaching younger kids! I learned so much content from our studies. ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:47 PM || A2 I t helps to start with concepts (in the broad sense, big ideas) and build your CI from those #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:48 PM || Q3. Look at different examples of CI's has helped us revise our CI's. Have reviewed CI's in grade teams and with whole staff... #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:48 PM || @thammerlund we work together on creating them usually. I think the process is important #pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:48 PM || @kjinquiry #pypchat The continual revisiting allows us to 'come to know', yes? My young learners add examples as we revisit daily. ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:48 PM || @jennysfen argument and disaggrement are healthy though! #pypchat ||
 * Kelli_Cody || 8:48 PM || RT @jennysfen: A2/3 Yes - you need a village to develop a sound central idea ;-) Collaboration really is vital #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:48 PM || A2/3 Yes - you need a village to develop a sound central idea ;-) Collaboration really is vital #pypchat ||
 * thammerlund || 8:48 PM || In most IB schools do the teachers work together on creating the CI? #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:48 PM || Something that opens many pathways of inquiry #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:48 PM || Want to try as part of our POI review to have CIs up for all staff to see and ask them to postit "Where does this take you?" #pypchat ||
 * teachernz || 8:48 PM || @wholeboxndice thatâ€™s my viewpoint too, but we are still expected to set fixed outcomes :-( #pypchat ||
 * noahbeaumont || 8:49 PM || Q3. Putting ideas on the table but being able and willing to take them off #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:49 PM || @teachernz Yeah, we have the same with Oz curric. things to meet. We have found ways to allow openness, but still tick boxes. #pypchat ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:49 PM || @whatedsaid toss it around, keep it flexible rather than fixed,challenge and critique it. They can become a bit precious" at times! #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:49 PM || @DwyerTeacher absolutely - struggling through the process of developing a CI is an important part of the collaboration. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:49 PM || @clairepyp Hi! Add the #pypchat hashtag to appear in the stream :-) ||
 * kassandraboyd || 8:49 PM || Definitely! RT @jennysfen: A2/3 Yes - you need a village to develop a sound central idea ;-) Collaboration really is vital #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:49 PM || @thammerlund Yes usually as part of collaborative planning #pypchat ||
 * teachernz || 8:50 PM || @wholeboxndice good to know it can still be done #pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:50 PM || @DwyerTeacher #pypchat Yes,nice phrase. Many pathways which are united under CI. So Ss can compare, generalise, accept new points of view. ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:50 PM || Hang on wall in our planning room: RT @noahbeaumont: Q3. Putting ideas on the table but being able and willing to take them off #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:50 PM || @whatedsaid Do you think you should be able to see the pyp concepts or related concepts in a CI? #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:50 PM || Let your own thinking evolve as the planning evolves #pypchat ||
 * clairepyp || 8:51 PM || @kjinquiry @whatedsaid #pypchat ||
 * kassandraboyd || 8:51 PM || Q2/3 Don't get too attached to "what's always been done"... ||
 * jennysfen || 8:51 PM || @noahbeaumont A good point - you need to be within a team where trust and respect allow for risk-taking and oopen debate of ideas #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:51 PM || The collaborative review process is important, it is also a good lesson being challenged if the climate is right. #pypchat ||
 * JinaBel28 || 8:51 PM || #pypchat teachers who are part of creating the central idea allow themselves to go on the journey with the learners. ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:51 PM || @kjinquiry @whatedsaid Ownership is a funny thing! #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:52 PM || @wholeboxndice In a workshop I was at, we looked at same CI in different TD themes too! #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:52 PM || @whatedsaid like an artist starting with a blank canvas #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:52 PM || @kassandraboyd Yep. People do get precious. #pypchat ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:52 PM || @kassandraboyd hear hear! #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:52 PM || @kassandraboyd Getting attached :-) That's why my favourite thing in facilitating planning is to start with a blank planner! #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:52 PM || RT @DwyerTeacher: Let your own thinking evolve as the planning evolves #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:52 PM || @mlrose14 @whatedsaid I love it when someone takes a CI and relates how they would engage with a different concept than I thought. #pypchat ||
 * Clare_In_Tokyo || 8:52 PM || #pypchat Yes, if it's not working one year, review and remodel ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:52 PM || @DwyerTeacher - yes. And be willing to review and revise from year to year to ensure ownership and energy #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:52 PM || @JinaBel28 So true! By working as a collaborative team we are doing what we ask of our students. #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:53 PM || @whatedsaid @kassandraboyd We did an entirely blank slate on Y5 to review and ended up with such an engaging POI. #pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:53 PM || @kassandraboyd #pypchat Yep, ain't each group of learners different? N I am a different learner too each year. ||
 * teachernz || 8:53 PM || RT @kassandraboyd: Q2/3 Don't get too attached to "what's always been done"... ||
 * teachernz || 8:53 PM || RT @JinaBel28: #pypchat teachers who are part of creating the central idea allow themselves to go on the journey with the learners. ||
 * jennysfen || 8:54 PM || @whatedsaid @kassandraboyd Starting w/ a blank planner is 1 of R essential agreements. Must srt w/ reflections from old planner #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:54 PM || RT @clairepyp: #pypchat What do you do when you realise that the CI is not really working well. Do you change it midway? ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:54 PM || @DwyerTeacher @whatedsaid nice analogy and hi all by the way #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:54 PM || @whatedsaid Yeah I like that. #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:54 PM || I remember a wheel with the key concepts in two layers outside and when you rotated it it created a completely different looking CI #pypchat ||
 * kassandraboyd || 8:54 PM || @clairepyp @kjinquiry @whatedsaid Would not change it midway but make reflections and change it b4 next... #pypchat ||
 * Clare_In_Tokyo || 8:55 PM || @edna #pypchat I don't change midway but reflect ad adjust after the unit ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:55 PM || We need all staff engaged in our POI discussions, CI review because reality is, from year to year, we could shift year levels. #pypchat ||
 * SarahHHK || 8:55 PM || #pypchat finally made it! Sarah here in Hong Kong... will take a mo to catch up! ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:55 PM || @jennysfen This is so important! #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:55 PM || @whatedsaid I would ask first it is the CI that is the problem, maybe it is something else ?#pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:55 PM || Q4. How is the central idea communicated in your class and your teaching? #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:55 PM || @kjinquiry Hi Kath, we missed you last time #pypchat ||
 * kassandraboyd || 8:55 PM || @clairepyp @kjinquiry @whatedsaid think we need to give things time in order to see the final impact... #pypchat ||
 * villaborella || 8:56 PM || I think u would follow through on the strength of concepts &amp; lines of inquiry #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:56 PM || RT @whatedsaid: Q4. How is the central idea communicated in your class and your teaching? #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:56 PM || @SarahHHK Welcome Sarah! #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:56 PM || @SarahHHK Glad you made it! #pypchat we are discussing Q4. How is the central idea communicated in your class and your teaching? ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:56 PM || RT @whatedsaid: Q4. How is the central idea communicated in your class and your teaching? #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:56 PM || It is a different time, different kids, everything has changed. #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:57 PM || @brettelockyer we reflect throughout the unit and add these to the planner as we go #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:57 PM || @brettelockyer No, can't leave reflection till the end. Our best units are when we meet and reflect along the way #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:57 PM || Q4. Lots of discussion about this- to share with Ss or to let them uncover the CI themselves.. #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:57 PM || @whatedsaid sometimes we don't explicitly refer to the CI. There has been too much parrot style repetition of them before #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:57 PM || @brettelockyer ongoing! #pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:57 PM || @jennysfen #pypchat Ah, reflection as most important stage of planning! Is this best done at end of unit? Must allow time for this. ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:58 PM || @Clare_In_Tokyo @edna identifying gaps or problems with the CI can be shared with students. They suggest how it could be re written #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:58 PM || Deeply problematic! RT @sherrattsam: and even people believing students are "getting it" if they can say the CI word for word #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:58 PM || @whatedsaid A5 Yes #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:58 PM || Interested to hear all the answers to A4. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:58 PM || Sorry, folks, the questions are intertwined! Q5. Should students be encouraged to unravel the CI themselves? #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:58 PM || @whatedsaid and even people believing students are "getting it" if they can say the CI word for word #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:58 PM || @sherrattsam @whatedsaid I agree! If Ss understand what it means and the concepts embedded why parrot it? #pypchat ||
 * thammerlund || 8:58 PM || @brettelockyer I like to write down my thoughts as I am going so I don't forget them. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:58 PM || @sherrattsam I agree, so let me throw out Q4 Q5. Should students be encouraged to unravel the CI themselves? #pypchat #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:58 PM || @sherrattsam I agree, at times it just floats in the background... #pypchat ||
 * kassandraboyd || 8:58 PM || A4 I always liked posting it for discussion or asking students to puzzle it together and post...know others don't like posting... #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:59 PM || Ugh I am a bad moderator! I want 3 Qs at once because they interconnect... but not the best on twitter chat. Sorry! #pypchat ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 8:59 PM || #pypchat A3 CI is in the prefront of all teaching. Children reflect on it all the time. ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:59 PM || RT @kassandraboyd: @clairepyp @kjinquiry @whatedsaid think we need to give things time in order to see the final impact... #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 9:00 PM || I tend to use the CI as our compass. We can take it different ways with LOI, but it helps keep our bearings. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 9:00 PM || I love kids figuring out the CI themselves. Anyone done that. At what stage in the unit? #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 9:00 PM || A5 Yes-encouraging Ss to continue going back to CI with their new understandings and to see what has changed. Can't wait til end #pypchat ||
 * teachernz || 9:00 PM || @mlrose14 I think you have plant peripheral seeds for students to nurture #pypchat ||
 * thammerlund || 9:00 PM || A5 Yes, but how would you go about this? (It depends on the unit) #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 9:00 PM || We have been developing a conceptual visual to represent the essence of a CI and using that with kids instead. #pypchat ||
 * SarahHHK || 9:00 PM || #pypchat I think it's more important that Ss can discuss central idea in their own words ||
 * 7Mrsjames || 9:00 PM || RT @whatedsaid: #pypchat is a fortnightly chat by IB primary years educators, for anyone. Today's topic is a bit #ibpyp specific though. ||
 * travisattis || 9:00 PM || A5 Love eavesdropping on students interpreting CI to each other! #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 9:00 PM || Often students arent involved in the creation or even reflection of the CI #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 9:01 PM || @whatedsaid I did it at the end, they were trying to write their own every week. was interesting to see how their ideas changed #pypchat ||
 * kjinquiry || 9:01 PM || @sherrattsam @whatedsaid Each student will "understand" the idea in their own way and at different levels. That's the challenge. #pypchat ||
 * CatherineRHart || 9:01 PM || @wholeboxndice #pypchat important thing is central idea evident in practice - not just rhetori ||
 * whatedsaid || 9:01 PM || @sherrattsam Can you share an example of your conceptual rubric? Now or later... #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 9:01 PM || RT @sherrattsam: @whatedsaid and even people believing students are "getting it" if they can say the CI word for word #pypchat ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 9:01 PM || #pypchat A5. Chn should be guided to unravel the CI. Teachers model, especially in the lower primary. ||
 * mlrose14 || 9:01 PM || A4 or A5... If we tell them the CI how is it the enduring understanding? #pypchat ||
 * Kelli_Cody || 9:01 PM || A4/5 some of our classes have them posted on the wall, reworded in the learners words ... But some unravel CI on their own #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 9:02 PM || RT @jasongraham99: Often students arent involved in the creation or even reflection of the CI #pypchat Yes- this becomes evident during pypX ||
 * whatedsaid || 9:02 PM || RT @DwyerTeacher: I did it at the end, they were trying to write their own every week. interesting to see how their ideas changed #pypchat ||
 * Kelli_Cody || 9:02 PM || @whatedsaid @sherrattsam would love to see this conceptual visual #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 9:02 PM || Yes reciting CI no good. Inquiring in to what it could possibly mean is. @whatedsaid @sherrattsam #pypchat ||
 * SarahHHK || 9:02 PM || RT @whatedsaid: I love kids figuring out the CI themselves. Anyone done that. At what stage in the unit? #pypchat I want to try this!!! ||
 * whatedsaid || 9:02 PM || @mlrose14 I think as people dev better understanding of inquiry, they realise that! #pypchat ||
 * kjinquiry || 9:03 PM || @JoyVillamarin But I believe this can happen too early - as if the idea has to be 'taught' then investigated...#pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 9:03 PM || @whatedsaid Arrggh,the wkly team planning process gallops on. Listticking. Regular collab reflection not yet in our team toolbox. #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 9:03 PM || What does it mean for you now in this moment and time? is a great leading question #pypchat because it will change! ||
 * jasongraham99 || 9:03 PM || Often CI understandings become evident after the unit 'finished' Its an individual thing #pypchat ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 9:03 PM || #pypchat. How about "structuring" so the children think they own construction of CI? And exploring on a more personal level? ||
 * wholeboxndice || 9:03 PM || I think that the Ss being able to relate all of our activity and inquiry back to the CI independently is important. Not reciting #pypchat ||
 * villaborella || 9:03 PM || I am working through it now ....slowly. But it feels authentic. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 9:04 PM || @kjinquiry @JoyVillamarin Oh yes!! Such a common mistake. Teach the idea, then have kids inquire. #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 9:04 PM || @whatedsaid Yes! Approx. Sorting Out - Finding Out stage #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 9:04 PM || @CatherineRHart Yeah that 'lived not laminated' idea. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 9:04 PM || @wholeboxndice And even better if your awesome provocations get them thinking and exploring so they figure out the CI themselves #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 9:05 PM || @BruceFerrington @kjinquiry @sherrattsam Teacher has to really listen to where the kids are at... #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 9:05 PM || A learning challenge for Y5 tchrs we are taking on is have one class provide the CI at the start and one create it over the UOI #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 9:05 PM || @DwyerTeacher @whatedsaid I have don't this too throughout the unit... #pypchat ||
 * teachernz || 9:06 PM || @brettelockyer snap :-( #pypchat but itâ€™ll happen eventually. Resistance is futile. ;-) ||
 * wholeboxndice || 9:06 PM || Is there a right way or wrong way? #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 9:06 PM || http://t.co/1iuICJ39 my experiment with trying to Guess the CI #pypchat I ended up not showing the actual one, because the kids were better ||
 * mlrose14 || 9:06 PM || @kjinquiry @sherrattsam @whatedsaid Also the beauty! #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 9:06 PM || @BruceFerrington Hi Bruce. Add the #pypchat hashtag ||

 * DwyerTeacher || 9:07 PM || @kjinquiry i prefer questions too #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 9:07 PM || RT @kjinquiry: @JoyVillamarin But I believe this can happen too early - as if the idea has to be 'taught' then investigated...#pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 9:07 PM || @brettelockyer You should teach with us :-) #pypchat ||
 * kjinquiry || 9:07 PM || @whatedsaid @JoyVillamarin that's why I like displaying a provocative question instead - invites a journey toward understanding. #pypchat ||

 * wholeboxndice || 9:07 PM || @DwyerTeacher Nice. Makes for great reflection. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 9:07 PM || @wholeboxndice No! The whole point is people think there is a right way and a wrong way. There are many ways!! #pypchat ||

 * DwyerTeacher || 9:12 PM || @SarahHHK Hahaha! I know the feeling, sometimes it is justified, others it is just semartics #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 9:12 PM || @SarahHHK I think the wording can take long but make or break a unit sometimes. Worth it. #pypchat ||

 * Mallocup || 9:13 PM || should teacher be able to (allowed to) change the wording of a CI? #pypchat ||

 * wholeboxndice || 9:20 PM || @whatedsaid I think this is a question that we face daily. #pypchat ||
 * hurleyinchina || 9:20 PM || @sherrattsam In some planning meetings I've attended people get bogged down in wording of CI #pypchat ||

 * wholeboxndice || 9:23 PM || @sherrattsam @whatedsaid good point Sam. What makes us define it as off topic anyway? If we are off topic, why did we have a topic? #pypchat ||

 * DwyerTeacher || 9:24 PM || @jasongraham99 I also think the wording is just different words but implied meaning is the same, it then turns into a word fight #pypchat ||
 * kassandraboyd || 9:24 PM || A8 CIs should be flexible enough to allow for student inquiries, for all levels but particularly in early yrs #pypchat ||
