Google searches can be changed to include only specific countries of origin. Below is a link to the search operations that can be used in your search bar]]> 2017-06-21 14:16:08 UTC https://padlet.com/tdammeier/zxq11fyidwt9/wish/177105684 tdammeier https://padlet.com/tdammeier/zxq11fyidwt9/wish/177107103 Most answers are found on the internet. The real deep questions are ones that develop from reading the answers from the traditional ("right there") questions. These developing questions are deep, critical and reflective.

I would argue it also increases the peer achievement in the same classroom. By hearing "kid thinking," peers can build on their own thinking and develop deeper understanding.
Here are some ideas from Making Thinking Visible]]> 2017-06-21 14:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/tdammeier/zxq11fyidwt9/wish/177109779 tdammeier https://padlet.com/tdammeier/zxq11fyidwt9/wish/177110494 Teachers can help develop an intrinsic drive in students to do good in the world by offering real world connections to real world issues. Make learning have purpose!

This increases student motivation.
The following is a great example of one teacher's (Kathy Cassidy) blog where her students share their work with the world.]]> 2017-06-21 15:16:59 UTC https://padlet.com/tdammeier/zxq11fyidwt9/wish/177111848 tdammeier https://padlet.com/tdammeier/zxq11fyidwt9/wish/177113714 No longer are the days where teachers have to keep examples of assignments from previous students to show current students. Teachers can access the best assignment results from around the world. This can motivate students to achieve great standards.]]> 2017-06-21 15:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/tdammeier/zxq11fyidwt9/wish/177113714
