 * whatedsaid || 24/05/2012 || 8:44 PM || A2 Consider key concepts and related concepts. The CI is expressed as relationship between concepts. #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 24/05/2012 || 8:44 PM || Concepts embedded in central idea and lines of inquiry. How to assess these will inform planning... #pypchat ||
 * snowbird2812 || 24/05/2012 || 8:44 PM || @jasongraham99 @arroyo24 yes-so if the big idea is change, let's start with us. What changes have we experienced in our lives?#pypchat ||

 * wholeboxndice || 24/05/2012 || 8:44 PM || A2. Are we wanting to find how the concept relates to central idea or how the central idea helps us to frame the concept? #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 24/05/2012 || 8:44 PM || @Saigon_Eldred me too; a unit on human body that focus on change is very different from a unit that focus on form #pypchat ||

 * neilringrose || 24/05/2012 || 8:52 PM || I think two / three at a push concepts for a unit...but again, it depends on the learners #pypchat ||
 * ErwinDumenden || 24/05/2012 || 8:52 PM || A3 One solid concept, if the planning teachers are torn between too many concepts itâ€™s a sign they are not all on the same page #pypchat ||
 * MaggieSwitz || 24/05/2012 || 8:52 PM || We're also working on our POI now. Needs to be completely overhauled every 3 years or so IMHO. #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 24/05/2012 || 8:52 PM || Personal interest question, if you look at your CI, can you auto 'tell' which concept you are trying to have drive the inquiry? #pypchat ||
 * SREELATHAKUMAR || 24/05/2012 || 8:52 PM || 2 or 3 concept unless it is exhibition when we address all 8 #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 24/05/2012 || 8:53 PM || @lsacker #pypchat you have to be careful that planning does not become a paint by numbers process . It's not a list of things to tick off ||
 * LindyBuckley1 || 24/05/2012 || 8:53 PM || S&B sorted into grade bands and then sorted again to matrix/grades by concept. Then Enduring Understandings come from concepts. #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 24/05/2012 || 8:53 PM || @whatedsaid That was an interesting process, my first mapping gave the frame to work with, now to revise to get back to concepts. #pypchat ||
 * kassandraboyd || 24/05/2012 || 8:53 PM || @wholeboxndice My opinion is yes! it should be clearly reflected (not named per se) but there. #pypchat ||
 * MaggieSwitz || 24/05/2012 || 8:53 PM || Would ideally suggest 2. Definitely not more than 3. #pypchat ||
