#SDUHSDchat February 9-15: Slooooooow Chat

Instead of our traditional Tuesday night 8:00 - 8:30 "blink and you'll miss it" #SDUHSDchat, let's try something different this week. For the week of the 9th through the 15th, we're going to do a "slow chat". One question will be posted each morning at 7:00 am. You can participate in the chat at any time you like, however frequently or infrequently you choose. Just be sure to include the hashtag #SDUHSDchat in your responses and discussion.

If you are using the standard Twitter website, you can always click on the hashtag to get a timeline that only includes #SDUHSDchat. If you are using Tweetdeck, you can create a separate column for our chat. Or you can use the Participate Learning interface, which is getting better and better for managing Twitter chats.

I will update this post with the questions for each day, so you can always refer back to this post if you miss the day's question in the morning. Questions will be coming from the @SDUHSDchat account as well as from my account, @kfairchild6.

Q1 - Tuesday the 9th
What are some things in your life that happen too quickly? What do you do to make them slow down? Why?

Q2 - Wednesday the 10th

What are some things in your class that happen too fast? What makes you think so? How could they slow down?

Q3 - Thursday the 11th
Team Hare or Team Tortoise? Slow and steady or quick as a jackrabbit? Which is the way you typically work? Why?

Q4 - Friday the 12th
Think about a student’s typical school day. In what ways are they too rushed? How can Ts help them slow down?

Q5 - Saturday the 13th
Often, being “busy” is seen as being successful. Do you agree? Are your weekends busier than your work week?

Q6 - Sunday the 14th
Is the old adage of “Sunday is a day of rest” outdated? How do you rest and recharge over the weekend?

Q7 - Monday the 15th
4th day of a long weekend! Did your Ss relax at all, or are our Ss' lives overscheduled? How can Ts help?

UPDATE: I should have mentioned in the first place that my own introduction to "slow chats" was from the inestimable David Theriault (@davidtedu) in this blog post from January 2014. He tells me he had never heard of a slow chat before that, so lacking evidence to the contrary, we're going to give David the credit for this idea!
