A2: Central's community service projects designed by Jodi Kroll are the perfect examples of meaningful projects #EBEdChat

A3: give kids the opportunities to share ideas together, write letters/emails, record questions, do research - whatever it takes to let them feel like they're the ones making the difference #ebedchat

Q5: Specifically for our 2nd graders, it encourages them to think about others and encourages them to see how life is about teamwork. But the benefits go so far beyond twitter's 120 characters! #ebedchat

Allison.. Central 2nd grade.. last binge was Sneaky Pete on a March snow day #ebedchat

A2: as I adjust smartboards from year to year, rather than deleting slides, I like to just drag them to the end of the document so I can still use them if/when needed #ebedchat
