The children can contribute answers through pictures, videos, other questions. 
It may be that a child is out somewhere and comes across a person, a situation that could help answer these questions and can instantly capture this idea. 
Additionally, if other schools can see these questions and responses they too could set up their own story as a comparison . You could have to schools from across the world, approaching questions throughout the day, whilst in real life, and compare how different community and minds work instantly different.]]> 2016-10-06 14:52:58 UTC https://padlet.com/parishminton/bmzcc8mdhy0k/wish/128840666 Why children would like it parishminton https://padlet.com/parishminton/bmzcc8mdhy0k/wish/128843100 - fast

The point of snapchat is that it is a snapshot of information, possibly issues in retaining information or having time to reflect? ]]> 2016-10-06 20:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/parishminton/bmzcc8mdhy0k/wish/128973716 Motivation parishminton https://padlet.com/parishminton/bmzcc8mdhy0k/wish/128977582 But if they already use snapchat why not incorporate it into learning? It is a 21st century tool. Whilst out and about you may see or learn something useful to your class and can instantly share this information with them. ]]> 2016-10-06 20:51:04 UTC https://padlet.com/parishminton/bmzcc8mdhy0k/wish/128977582 The Shallows, Nicholas Carr parishminton https://padlet.com/parishminton/bmzcc8mdhy0k/wish/128978328 Criticises technology and the internet in particular for making us shallow thinkers who are unable to think meaningfully due mainly to the constant use of different applications and websites that we flick between for information. I appreciate where this argument comes from, you google a question in a moment, then move on to check you emails do you really retain the information?

Students as communicators- discovers, questioners.
An inspiring, changing, exciting environment that allows collaboration
A mentoring adult that provides need to research interests
100 languages- different ways to express. 

I feel these can all be accessed using snap chat as a learning tool. http://www.aneverydaystory.com/beginners-guide-to-reggio-emilia/main-principles/

Is it more important to have time to be away from education for thinking to develop?
Neuroscience suggests the importance of breaks away from education.

But, will it take away amusement? Or can it be used alongside own social media. Ublend is an attempt to make an in-between system of education platforms and social platforms. But does it take away children's abilities to use the network for fun? Or will they benefit more from learning how to use it more effectively as a class?
