Quick overview of each question from the chat:

• 2 – What is keeping you from doing that thing that you shared in response to Q1?

A2-I've never sat down and actually planned it out. I'm also super busy, which I realize is a crap excuse #oklaed

• 3 – What step can you take to do that one thing that you have always wanted to do?

Stop being so anxious, type A, control freak waiting for the exact right time to do stuff. (And start saving money) #oklaed https://t.co/41T6V15HRA

• 4 – What is one thing you are wanting to try in your classroom – but are afraid?

A4 – trying to use tech or curriculum that won't get funded. #oklaed https://t.co/A701f8AK16

• 5 – What is keeping you from doing that thing in your classroom?

A5: Being afraid to fail is keeping me from knowing the most successful way to organize my classroom. #oklaed #EIPT3043

• 6 – What are two small steps you can take to do this one new thing in your classroom?

A6: Eliminate content to open room for in-class writing/revision. Commit to student prep for a more “lab” oriented English class. #oklaed

• 7 – What are some resources that could be used to learn more about this one thing?

A7 #oklaed is an AMAZING resource. And Pinterest. And TpT. And Ss themselves. They're really quite brilliant.

• 8 – How will you share the results from the change that occurs as a result of this one thing – even it they are not so glamorous?

A8: I'm a blogger. I love using my blog as a platform for my successes and failures. https://t.co/1srjDW9p5A #oklaed https://t.co/YjIriAj75H

Favorite question and why?

• Erin: #4 – What is one thing you are wanting to try in your classroom – but are afraid? It forces me to really say it. Examine it and think about how to move. How do you eat an elephant?
• Scott: Q8: How will you share what your results are?
