 * whatedsaid || 8:03 PM || Q1. What is a Learning Community? #pypchat ||
 * thammerlund || 8:04 PM || Hi all, Tom in Japan. #pypchat New time? ||
 * paulhuebl || 8:04 PM || A1. Extended network of people contributing to learning #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:04 PM || Are you around tonight @mrfumar? #pypchat ||
 * thammerlund || 8:05 PM || A1 people you learn from on or offline #pypchat ||
 * Shaza33 || 8:05 PM || A1 A group of people engaged in learning with and from each other #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:06 PM || #pypchat A1. Learning community? Very broad but I can tell you what it isn't. #unitednations #eec #governments ||
 * irantimega || 8:06 PM || A1 Groups where the collaboration of learning happens among the people and the groups themselves #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:06 PM || A1. A supportive environment for the ongoing learning &amp; engagement of its members, where process is shared and jointly constructed. #pypchat ||
 * melmac6 || 8:06 PM || group of people ewith a common purpose #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:07 PM || @wholeboxndice Nice! Too long to RT :) #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:07 PM || @thammerlund Hi Thomas. 30mins earlier or later (depending on where you are) due to Aust Daylight Savings. #pypchat ||
 * paulhuebl || 8:07 PM || @wholeboxndice I particularly like the joint construction! #pypchat ||
 * melmac6 || 8:08 PM || people working in partnership &amp; collaborating to meet their members' learning needs #pypchat ||
 * Shaza33 || 8:08 PM || @tchrmiriam Welcome Miriam! Nice to see you. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:08 PM || @tchrmiriam Welcome Miriam! #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:08 PM || @MrFumar Glad to have you here again mate. No need to be sorry. We are talking Learning Communities. #pypchat ||
 * thammerlund || 8:08 PM || @wholeboxndice Got it - thanks #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:08 PM || Q2. Let's think about this - What is the difference between a 'community' and a 'network'? #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:09 PM || Ooh a tough one. Difference between community and network... #pypchat ||
 * Shaza33 || 8:09 PM || A2 Community- shared practice, Network-personal connections; I am thinking the classroom is both. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:10 PM || A2 I think a community has shared beliefs and values, a network doesn't necessarily #pypchat ||
 * paulhuebl || 8:10 PM || A2 network is more hands on? Community is an extended network? Tough to call. #pypchat ||
 * MrFumar || 8:10 PM || #pypchat A2 A community goes further. It nurtures and has a sense of trust within its members. ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:10 PM || A2. For me it is about the roles played. Community connotes ownership to me. #pypchat ||
 * melmac6 || 8:10 PM || LCs u not only share knowledge but can create new knowledge together. Network just sharing #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:11 PM || A2 Does a community have a common goal and a network be a "place" to draw from and share with? ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:11 PM || You have my trust @MrFumar #pypchat #mbbcftw ||
 * paulhuebl || 8:11 PM || @travisattis Community gives support. Nice #pypchat ||
 * lindawollan || 8:11 PM || Sorry I'm late - too hard to follow on Tweetbot on iPad! Now on trusty PC. Hi from Linda in Melbourne #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:11 PM || RT @almiratantri: @whatedsaid A1 supportive learning environment for learners to think to learn and learn to think...#pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:11 PM || #pypchat A2 Hmm ... a network is a system with no soul, where a community is supportive and has a common belief? ....maybe... ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:12 PM || @lindawollan Hi Linda. We are at the moment differentiating between networks and communities. #pypchat ||
 * thammerlund || 8:12 PM || Q2 the word community sounds more intimate - like you are all moving towards a common goal #pypchat ||
 * Shaza33 || 8:12 PM || A2 Community members passionate about common goal or shared learning #pypchat ||
 * irantimega || 8:12 PM || Community has a deeper ownership rather than network? #pypchat ||
 * paulhuebl || 8:13 PM || Thinking of a community as a school and a network as existing beyond that. Confusing myself now... #pypchat ||
 * almiratantri || 8:13 PM || A2 #pypchat community and network similar in a sense of collaboration, learning together, making connection. Can't think of the difference ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:13 PM || @sherrattsam Come and play in #pypchat. Your question is up next! ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:14 PM || Q3. What ingredients make a school a learning community and not just a place where learning happens? #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:14 PM || Oh, nice! RT @tchrmiriam: A network is for connecting, a community is for growing #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:14 PM || OK, let's think more about what defines a community of learners then... see next Q ! #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:14 PM || It seems that its intention might also frame the difference. The idea of place or shared space is an important part of a community. #pypchat ||
 * thammerlund || 8:15 PM || @MrFumar I like that question #pypchat ||
 * paulhuebl || 8:15 PM || A3 open classrooms are a start! #pypchat ||
 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:15 PM || @wholeboxndice #pypchat. Sorry I'm late. A community requires trust ||
 * fr3tty || 8:15 PM || A1 A community where people learn from one another, in real or virtual environment. #pypchat ||
 * MrFumar || 8:15 PM || #pypchat can a network connect communities? ||
 * thammerlund || 8:15 PM || Q3 teacher collaboration is big #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:16 PM || Is #pypchat a network or community? ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:16 PM || Q3. What ingredients make a school a learning community, not just a place where learning happens? #pypchat ||
 * Shaza33 || 8:16 PM || A3 In a classroom, students having a voice, engaged in the learning #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:16 PM || @Saigon_Eldred We are on Q3 posed by @sherrattsam ... #pypchat ||
 * almiratantri || 8:16 PM || @mlrose14 #pypchat I think I'm with you! Community shares common goal. Network is a media to share, connect, doesn't need to have same goal ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:16 PM || RT @MrFumar: #pypchat can a network connect communities? &lt;&lt; Interesting thought ||
 * irantimega || 8:17 PM || The sense of ownership for the school's learning community and for the learning itself! #pypchat ||
 * thammerlund || 8:17 PM || Q3 I also think a common goal is important #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:17 PM || A3 Shared beliefs, ability to disagree and common ideals? #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:17 PM || @whatedsaid a shared understanding of what learning is, what it looks like and what is valuable #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:17 PM || #pypchat A3 contact with local community, embracing failure, thinking outside the norm ||
 * DanDunlevie || 8:18 PM || Com of learners need an identity as a learner,what effective learning looks like&amp; develop this 2b effective members of learning com #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:18 PM || Semantics of Learning Community vs Community of Learners #pypchat ||
 * thammerlund || 8:18 PM || @whatedsaid I like you common about being able to disagree. I think that is big. #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:18 PM || A3 Open minded people willing to share #pypchat ||
 * hurleyinchina || 8:18 PM || A3 trust, respect, shared vision, welcoming, open-minded #pypchat ||
 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:18 PM || A3. #pypchat. shared ownership makes a community - peopel having a vested interest ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:18 PM || A3. I think it is partially about who is doing the learning. #pypchat ||
 * SarahHHK || 8:19 PM || #pypchat sorry joining you late - I'll try to do a quick catch up! ||
 * thammerlund || 8:19 PM || @whatedsaid Wouldn't it be great if it were so easy to visit other schools? #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:19 PM || http://t.co/kHLNaWJ0 #pypchat ||
 * lindawollan || 8:19 PM || A3 A school has community members that support each other and collaborate #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:19 PM || @DanDunlevie Dan!! Hooray :-) #pypchat ||
 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:19 PM || also a community can have a common goal #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:19 PM || @thammerlund We had a visit from @sherrattsam and he pointed out the way we do this! We hadn't thought about it #pypchat ||
 * melmac6 || 8:19 PM || Q3 need shared goals, collaboration, communication, consultation, participation #pypchat ||
 * DanDunlevie || 8:20 PM || Students need an identity and know their place within a learning community to make an effective learning community #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:20 PM || #pypchat less dependence on protocols and more interest in helping each other spontaneously... For the sake of learning ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:20 PM || RT @CatherineRHart: network vs communty issue - a communty has a joint philosophical commit to action - netwk just shared intrests? #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:20 PM || @SarahHHK Hi Sarah, we're talking about the ingredients that make a school a learning community #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:20 PM || Here's my visual of it... http://t.co/Ww43zMJr #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:20 PM || Great to have you here @sherrattsam #pypchat ||
 * almiratantri || 8:20 PM || @whatedsaid #pypchat A3 tons of enthusiasm, great communication, collaboration, sense of belonging. ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:22 PM || There are many different types of networks; decentralized, centralized, distributed; do communities have similar types? #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:22 PM || @travisattis I totally agree. It has the reach of a network, but the closeness and trust of a community. #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:22 PM || #pypchat An effective community gives voice to all members ||
 * lsacker || 8:23 PM || #pypchat there are learning comm and then there are dynamic learning com. ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:23 PM || @wholeboxndice Ill be in and out... #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:23 PM || @DwyerTeacher Good to see you Craig! #pypchat ||
 * hurleyinchina || 8:23 PM || â€œ@travisattis: #pypchat An effective community gives voice to all membersâ€ So important. Too easy to lose people. ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:23 PM || #pypchat I wonder if it is also as simple as people actually knowing what learning is going on in other sections of the school? ||
 * SarahHHK || 8:23 PM || A2 I think a community work together for the greater good. A network is more just connections that the community use... maybe?! #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:23 PM || @kjinquiry You're in twitter chat heaven. #pypchat and #ozprimschchat talking inquiry!!! ||
 * DanDunlevie || 8:24 PM || Also students need to feel their contribution is valued &amp; are empowered to help others whilst comfortable to seek help from others #pypchat ||
 * irantimega || 8:24 PM || !!! RT @DwyerTeacher: many different types of networks; decentralized, centralized, distributed; do communities have similar types? #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:24 PM || @lsacker What makes it dynamic? What is that element? #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:25 PM || #pypchat adult relationships are key to creation of learning community. ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:25 PM || @DanDunlevie Teacher do too! #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:25 PM || #pypchat I think in a dynamic learning community, everyone is open to learning from and with each other #pypchat #non-competitive ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:26 PM || @kjinquiry For sure. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:26 PM || @febbynik Yes, mutual respect is very important #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:26 PM || @DanDunlevie Being valued is a big part of what makes any learning community work. 'Token communities' are doomed! #pypchat ||
 * hurleyinchina || 8:26 PM || @DanDunlevie For teachers too! #pypchat ||
 * febbynik || 8:26 PM || A3. Good leaders and team which value team work with respect and enthusiasm to school vision and mission. #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:26 PM || @whatedsaid I love the idea of Non-Competitive.... a co-evolution #pypchat #pypchat #non ||

 * whatedsaid || 8:27 PM || @wholeboxndice @kjinquiry Did somebody get a better invitation tonight? #pypchat ||
 * hurleyinchina || 8:27 PM || â€œ@sherrattsam: #pypchat adult relationships are key to creation of learning community.â€ Wow! That's a mouthful!! ||
 * paulhuebl || 8:27 PM || @whatedsaid @febbynik That's being part of a community... #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:27 PM || #pypchat love what Garmston says: "you can work out what a school is like in 10 minutes just by watching the adult relationships" ||
 * lindawollan || 8:27 PM || Learning communities learn together - students and teachers. Networks are an extended group who can be called on when needed #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:27 PM || @sherrattsam So true. If the adults cant embody the values of the comm, how can we expect the kids too. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:28 PM || @wholeboxndice Yes, I think having articulated our learning principals has helped make us more of a community #pypchat ||
 * hurleyinchina || 8:28 PM || @febbynik A vision &amp; mission that are worth supporting too. #pypchat ||
 * melmac6 || 8:28 PM || Openness, shared responsibility, accountability, reciprocity, acceptance all key ingredients of a lc #pypchat ||
 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:28 PM || #pypchat communityâ€“â€“â€˜â€˜a learning atmosphere, a context providing a supportive ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:28 PM || @febbynik I think that alignment of purpose (vision/mission) is undervalued. Sense of purpose is engaging. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:28 PM || @sherrattsam So, is that what you did at our school? :-) #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:29 PM || @MikeLangan1 No, I said earlier in the #pypchat.. I think being able to disagree is essential! ||
 * travisattis || 8:29 PM || @sherrattsam I agree but also keep an eye how students interact with each other #pypchat ||
 * Shaza33 || 8:29 PM || RT @melmac6: Openness, shared responsibility, accountability, reciprocity, acceptance all key ingredients of a lc #pypchat Well said ||
 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:29 PM || #pypchat are gained through a dialogue &amp;collaborative construction of knowledge by acquiring, generating, analyzing, and structuring info ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:30 PM || @kjinquiry @wholeboxndice Your passion is calling in the other chat... we'll let you back in next time! #pypchat ||
 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:30 PM || @wholeboxndice #pypchat must refernce source as (Carlen and Jobring 2005) ||
 * paulhuebl || 8:30 PM || @kjinquiry @whatedsaid @wholeboxndice it's a nice big community! #ozprimschchat #pypchat ||
 * hurleyinchina || 8:30 PM || â€œ@sherrattsam: #pypchat "you can work out what a school is like in 10 minutes just by watching the adult relationships"" So true! ||
 * Shaza33 || 8:30 PM || @whatedsaid @wholeboxndice I think this would help the community, hoping my school looks at our learning princ. too #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:30 PM || @Saigon_Eldred Nice one Craig. Glad to have you around. #pypchat ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:30 PM || @whatedsaid @wholeboxndice I'm experimenting with being involved in two chats at once! I feel a little unfaithful :) #pypchat ||

 * almiratantri || 8:31 PM || #pypchat is the dynamic learning community! Everyone shares ideas and passion of learning. Everyone feels connected by #pyp #collaboration ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:31 PM || @sherrattsam YES...as someone who visits several different 'learning communities' over a week I can tell you that is VERY true #pypchat ||

 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:32 PM || A4. #pypchat. encourage &amp; model respect &amp; open mindednes ||
 * irantimega || 8:32 PM || RT @whatedsaid: Let's focus on the kids now: Q4. How do you create learning community in your classroom? #pypchat ||
 * paulhuebl || 8:32 PM || A4 focus on collective strengths to achieve a common goal. Collaborate collaborate collaborate #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:32 PM || #pypchat Shared vision is crucial. Think some places shy away from attaching too much importance to that for fear of seeming over zealous! ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:33 PM || #pypchat A4 academic honesty. Transparent assessments. Shared, useful feedback. Lots of open discussion about strengths and weaknesses. ||
 * SarahHHK || 8:33 PM || RT @wholeboxndice:A4.For me, it starts with setting myself up as a learner along with the Students. #pypchat YES! I say "I don't know" a lot ||
 * paulhuebl || 8:33 PM || @wholeboxndice Absolutely agree. Model learning as part of the process #pypchat ||
 * tashacowdy || 8:33 PM || Hi! Great discussion on community! #pypchat ||

 * whatedsaid || 8:34 PM || A4 As teacher.. be part of the community of learners in the classroom #pypchat ||

 * hurleyinchina || 8:35 PM || Respect for individuals as people and learners. We all have good &amp; bad days. #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:35 PM || @whatedsaid Like minds...#pypchat ||

 * thammerlund || 8:36 PM || @kjinquiry What do you mean by a collaborative song? #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:36 PM || A4. I think that it is definitely in a big way about the environment/climate/culture established. #pypchat ||
 * irantimega || 8:36 PM || A4 By embodying the learner profile and attitudes. To respect each other between teachers and students is very important #pypchat ||
 * MikeLangan1 || 8:36 PM || @whatedsaid #pypchat Q4 much easier bcuz there r less adults. Change from teacher to facilitator. ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:36 PM || Collaborative games/songs/chants -those rituals that unite a group can be so powerful in the classroom. Builds trust and connection #pypchat ||

 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:37 PM || @alisoneducates #pypchat - good point ||

 * sherrattsam || 8:38 PM || #pypchat laughter. ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:38 PM || @sherrattsam makes me think of Improv drama, going with the flow and accepting what comes #pypchat ||
 * DanDunlevie || 8:38 PM || To go on about it..but kids need to know themselves &amp; others as learners.Trust &amp; a feeling of security are also essential elements #pypchat ||

 * TFHFoundation || 8:40 PM || @SarahHHK love how you have learner first in your profile. #pypchat ||
 * alisoneducates || 8:40 PM || #pypchat Letter writing! Mailbox builds appreciation for each other. Kids build relationships by writing what they may not take time to say. ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:40 PM || @DanDunlevie And self-awareness too. #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:40 PM || #pypchat downtime is also a big thing for me. Get kids relaxing together, the collective heart rate slowing down, just being together. ||

 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:41 PM || @kjinquiry @sherrattsam #pypchat - good point. Nothing worse than realising you havent spent time with a student 4 a few days ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:42 PM || @SarahHHK or acting, or dancing #pypchat ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 8:42 PM || @whatedsaid @sarahhhk ingredients must include shared vision. #pypchat ||
 * paulhuebl || 8:42 PM || @kjinquiry @thammerlund Top 40 on the radio does a lot of good! #pypchat ||
 * almiratantri || 8:42 PM || #pypchat A4 team building activities, good LEADERS who LEAD by example, fairness happen around the school. ||
 * SarahHHK || 8:42 PM || @kjinquiry I agree! Singing together should be a part of every student's day #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:42 PM || Students need to have responsibility for their leanring. In a learning community, the teacher isn't the boss of learning #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:43 PM || #pypchat sharing learning stories and understanding how we are all characters in each other's story, with good or bad effects! ||
 * Shaza33 || 8:43 PM || @SarahHHK @kjinquiry Students created sign up sheet to play DJ during snack each day. #pypchat ||

 * paulhuebl || 8:45 PM || @kjinquiry That's why english integration is so important! #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:45 PM || Unoffical Q: What do you do when members of the school act in a way that works against building community? #pypchat #everyschoolhasthem ||
 * travisattis || 8:45 PM || RT Love it!! @lsacker: #pypchat I always wanted a piano in our staff room. Singing together ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:45 PM || And powerful literature that draws a group together. A good book+the right questions can instantly create a learning community #pypchat ||
 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:45 PM || #pypchat A5 - who wants to work in an ugly sparse room?? I don't so I'm pretty sure that the ss dont - make it bright, stimulating . . ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:46 PM || A5 Removing physical barriers to connection and collaboration helps create a learning community #pypchat ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 8:46 PM || #pypchat A5. The environment acts as a provocation for building culture. ||
 * hurleyinchina || 8:46 PM || A5 Environment very important. Changed our library &amp; it's made a big difference in feeling of ownership with students. #pypchat ||
 * MikeLangan1 || 8:46 PM || Can kids have true respnsibility for their learning while we adults follow a curriculum? Can they jointly happen? #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:46 PM || @lsacker But we got a coffee machine instead :-) #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:46 PM || @kjinquiry Yes! for me it has been The End of the Beginning by Avi, and The Librarian Who Measured the World #pypchat ||
 * febbynik || 8:46 PM || @whatedsaid it's like fishing. You just need a good bait to get a good fish. And don't pull it too hard, the fish might loose #pypchat ||
 * paulhuebl || 8:46 PM || @whatedsaid UQ rise above it! #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:46 PM || A5. We don't all get to choose our learning spaces, but we can choose how we use it. Some choose rows. Others...#pypchat ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 8:47 PM || #pypchat A5. Without proper planning of how to use environmental spaces, I think we may miss valuable time for collaboration. ||
 * Shaza33 || 8:47 PM || A5 Include students in how their learning environment is set up, what works for them as a community. #pypchat ||
 * tashacowdy || 8:47 PM || Q5 Teacher not set up as main player, main focus. Spaces for collaboration and conversation. #pypchat ||
 * TFHFoundation || 8:47 PM || @lsacker #pypchat "always wanted a piano in our staff room. Singing together" some people go to church for the same reason, community! ||
 * Saigon_Eldred || 8:47 PM || #pypchat make the classroom a place where the students want to come and where they feel comfortable, safe &amp; want to learn &amp; share ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:47 PM || @whatedsaid Oh where do I start......:((( #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:47 PM || @MikeLangan1 In an inquiry driven context, yes. #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:48 PM || @whatedsaid Gossip behind their backs...........seriously I ignore it. Students? I act. Parents? Raise a brow. Staff? ???? #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:48 PM || A5 the walls are whiteboards! #pypchat ||
 * TFHFoundation || 8:48 PM || @MikeLangan1 "Can kids have true responsibility for their learning while we adults follow a curriculum? ... #pypchat" love the Q ||
 * irantimega || 8:48 PM || A5 Count out the physical environment from our learning community, then everything will not be going well. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:48 PM || A5 Give kids ownership of the learning space, a say in how it's set up #pypchat ||
 * emmalinesports || 8:48 PM || â€œ@kjinquiry: @whatedsaid Oh where do I start......:((( #pypchatâ€ ha ha** ||
 * MrFumar || 8:48 PM || #pypchat A5 - setting up the room for students to move easily between groups and collaboration experiences ||
 * alisoneducates || 8:48 PM || A5.Environment must be interactive and provoke dialogue &amp; thinking. Nothing worse than clutter, unused objects, and static displays #pypchat ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:49 PM || A5 - get students involved in designing env good for heads (thinking), hearts (wellbeing) and hands (doing/moving) ...lots of fun. #pypchat ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 8:49 PM || #pypchat A5. Environmental space is not limited to physical space. E-space should be considered too! ||
 * MeredithMorris_ || 8:49 PM || A teacher's role is not to make complex ideas simple, but to make complex ideas accessible #pypchat #edchat #sschat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:49 PM || @whatedsaid what is that? #pypchat ||
 * almiratantri || 8:49 PM || @whatedsaid #pypchat A5 evidence of students work, all school community involve in the decision making. #sharedvision ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:49 PM || @whatedsaid Now there is a whole topic in itself! #pypchat ||
 * melmac6 || 8:49 PM || how the learning space is set up has an impact on learning - students taking responsibility for own learning #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:49 PM || @DwyerTeacher We just got idea paint on one wall as a trial in our building... #pypchat ||
 * DanDunlevie || 8:49 PM || Fluid env aid the personalisation of kids learning by supporting more egalitarian learning env where teacher is partner of learning #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:49 PM || A5 who dictates what those learning spaces look like is an important question. We all dont teach or learn the same way. #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:49 PM || #pypchat I try to aim for a classroom that speaks, the students immersed in their own thinking. People can see what students are thinking.. ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 8:49 PM || @Shaza33 #pypchat AGREE! involve students in planning for their learning space. ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:50 PM || @sherrattsam Speaking my language now Sam!!! #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:50 PM || #pypchat maybe take kids to see other spaces in other schools. Expand the possibilities ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:50 PM || #pypchat... Even when students are not in the room. 100% pin board walls helps with this! ||
 * alisoneducates || 8:50 PM || @Shaza33 Yes! Making choices as a group about the space is essential. Personal &amp; collective ownership creates a sense of belonging. #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:50 PM || Thanks again #pypchat ! Have to go. ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:50 PM || @DwyerTeacher Graffitti wall. It's like a whiteboard you can write straight on the wall #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:50 PM || A5 the classroom is like the inside of the collective brian #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:51 PM || And another!!! RT @DwyerTeacher: A5 the classroom is like the inside of the collective brian #pypchat ||
 * meaghank8 || 8:51 PM || @whatedsaid genuine conversations! #pypchat ||
 * emmalinesports || 8:51 PM || â€œ@whatedsaid: A5 Give kids ownership of the learning space, a say in how it's set up #pypchatâ€ Agree. Not compliance ||
 * kjinquiry || 8:51 PM || @sherrattsam Yes! I often ask "what does your classroom 'say' about you/your learning community/your kids/your beliefs? #pypchat ||
 * hurleyinchina || 8:51 PM || â€œ@DwyerTeacher: A5 the classroom is like the inside of the collective brian #pypchatâ€ hah! Great for visible thinking. ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:51 PM || By the way, great article http://t.co/XhYB4fVm Teacher as Consciousness of the Collective (I am biased though, he is my supervisor) #pypchat ||
 * tashacowdy || 8:51 PM || Q5 Ewan McIntosh Seven spaces of learning http://t.co/o86Z5m4o interesting &amp; relevent for this conv, tho he looks thru lens of tech #pypchat ||

 * kjinquiry || 8:52 PM || @emmalinesports @whatedsaid Hear Hear! #pypchat ||
 * DanDunlevie || 8:52 PM || Inquiry into learning spaces is valuable.Design,try, review,adjust.Stdts could inquire into what effective collaboration looks like.#pypchat ||
 * DanDunlevie || 8:53 PM || @stephenheppell Join #pypchat - we're looking at learning communities and learning environments. Up your alley? Yes. ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:53 PM || Q7. How can we help our students extend their community outside of the classroom? #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:53 PM || Where did the hour go?? #pypchat 5 mins for last Q... ||
 * Shaza33 || 8:53 PM || Keep the students reflecting on the space, is it working? Do we need to rethink, rearrange? #pypchat ||
 * tashacowdy || 8:53 PM || Q5 Environement as third teacher -Reggio Emila preschools #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:53 PM || @kjinquiry #pypchat think admin should do several "observations" without students in the room. The space speaks volumes about the culture. ||
 * MeredithMorris_ || 8:54 PM || A4 Model curiosity, inquiry &amp; love of learning. Talk2them about what interests u, talk 2 them about what makes their mind explode! #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:54 PM || @whatedsaid A7 Flatten the classroom!!! Go for a walk outside the school fence! See what's going on in the real world!! #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:54 PM || @whatedsaid You know what they say about time flies...#pypchat ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 8:54 PM || #pypchat A7. Build collaboration outside of school. Try epals or pyppals. ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:54 PM || @Shaza33 You know, many teachers don't even keep reflecting on their space :( It's just a room and they don't notice... #pypchat ||
 * SarahHHK || 8:54 PM || Sorry I have to go... thanks for another thoughtful #pypchat ||
 * lindawollan || 8:54 PM || One of our teachers took all the furniture out of the classroom, and asked kids to re-create their own learning environment #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:55 PM || A7. This #pypchat gives you access to some great supports for global interactions. @sherrattsam and I did just that earlier this year. ||
 * MrFumar || 8:55 PM || #pypchat A7 - involve families, staff and other students as collaborators in the learning experience ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 8:55 PM || #pypchat change the physical room once a month. Good idea for regrouping and varied learning engagements and partnerships. ||
 * hurleyinchina || 8:55 PM || A7 If we do it right ext will be natural. They helped to create culture of classroom. #pypchat ||
 * sherrattsam || 8:55 PM || #pypchat hey, these are all such huge and fascinating questions!!! Crazy children expecting me to dine with them though. Goodnight all. ||

 * BelleVillamarin || 8:56 PM || @BelleVillamarin #pypchat Again, use the immediate space and extend beyond the school too. ||
 * emmalinesports || 8:56 PM || #pypchat A7 blogs can thin the classroom walls. I tweet kids work and they watch the live stream on the blog to see visitors come in from OS ||
 * meaghank8 || 8:56 PM || A7: involve variety of community members and facilities as resources within inquiries #pypchat ||
 * Shaza33 || 8:56 PM || @whatedsaid Yes, we just need to keep trying to model and share for those who don't. #pypchat ||
 * BelleVillamarin || 8:56 PM || #pypchat Learnt a lot from you all! ||
