Great takeaways and reflection at #CentralTexasIBroundtable! Texas IB Schools "Play brings life to transdisciplinary learning.""What are you doing for your students that they could be doing for themselves?""Interplay between learning tech, learning about tech and learning through tech."

"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. " -Mr. Rodgers #GSPD2019 #unstructuredplay #ibpyp #smiles

Our inquirers took a #VirtualReality field trip to a landfill using Nearpod. It inspired some authentic action! They used Seesaw to reflect. #SWESaction #studentvoice #InquiryMindset
