hashtags are part of the “conversation,” and serve to make the “conversation” searchable. But I’m tired of conversation and have written on that before. Time to move on…more doing, and less talking.

#whathappened
#howweknow#whatwedid could be used to describe something actually attempted to improve education. The emphasis on we addresses that attempt to be organizationally-based, and not just a classroom-localized event of a single teacher.
#whathappened could categorize the outcome of that attempt, the consequences of the action…and most importantly,what happened to student learning.
#howweknow could be used when describing how the organization knows #whathappened.
