Welcome to #WeirdEd, a very different edchat.

mel_katzz Sep 21 @ 10:00 PM EDT

Happy to finally be home and available for #WeirdEd chat tonight. It has been too long.

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:01 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Tonight I want to talk about how we’re different, and why we might be, and perhaps why creme soda is gross.

korytellers Sep 21 @ 10:01 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher And tell me, why is it different? #WeirdEd

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:01 PM EDT

@mel_katzz Yaaayyy! #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:01 PM EDT

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:02 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Ok, I think my internet's sorta...stabilized? Ish? I dunno

nathan_stevens Sep 21 @ 10:02 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher that is no perhaps about it. Creme soda IS gross #WeirdEd @teachintechgal

TheLaneFloyd Sep 21 @ 10:03 PM EDT

Hi #WeirdEd...I like creme soda but only in moderation.

korytellers Sep 21 @ 10:03 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens Nope. Look at that I am already being different! ;) #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:03 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki #WeirdEd Have you tried rebuffering the neutrino dampeners to compensate for gravometric destabilization?

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:03 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Please introduce yourself and tell us if you would self-describe as an insider or an outsider

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:03 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @mel_katzz #WeirdEd Is it on? Please be not on.... https://t.co/6VJ3zeoFIm

nathan_stevens Sep 21 @ 10:03 PM EDT

@korytellers now that we have that out of the way #WeirdEd

KristinaBarabas Sep 21 @ 10:04 PM EDT

I totally enjoy cream soda... In moderation #WeirdEd

mel_katzz Sep 21 @ 10:04 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher but @shadow_uzumaki's had an exclamation point so the challenge has already been declared #WeirdEd

korytellers Sep 21 @ 10:04 PM EDT

Kory, Innovations T in MN. I think I am an insider. #WeirdEd

korytellers Sep 21 @ 10:07 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher See now, I answered insider because I think I can relate to everyone, both insiders and outsiders. Isn't that #WeirdEd?

nathan_stevens Sep 21 @ 10:07 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher yes you can. #weirded https://t.co/GPTEL4rouq

MsMarshallCMS Sep 21 @ 10:07 PM EDT

Heather from SF Bay Area (middle school T) insider or outsider? I'd say "Here I am stuck in the middle with you." #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:07 PM EDT

@MsSirna_ArtEd #WeirdEd Well yea you're an outsider. Your classroom is flooded.

owenpeery Sep 21 @ 10:07 PM EDT

What makes everyone who said outsider, consider themselves an outsider, just curious #WeirdEd

TheLaneFloyd Sep 21 @ 10:07 PM EDT

Lane...Atlanta...HS Math #WeirdEd Insider who stands on the outside but only on days where being an outsider is not cool I like creme soda

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:07 PM EDT

@brianrozinsky @TheWeirdTeacher @MsLafferty #WeirdEd All I have to do is reverse the polarity of the neutron flow. Or hav R2 hack it

mrterborg Sep 21 @ 10:07 PM EDT

ohsoearly Sep 21 @ 10:08 PM EDT

Yo #WeirdEd - outsider, no student teaching or education courses. Shame me now https://t.co/BP8k2kZSsI

nathan_stevens Sep 21 @ 10:08 PM EDT

@owenpeery obviously the book "the outsiders" #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:08 PM EDT

#WeirdEd And bc I never answer my own- Doug, 5th grade, OR, bombastic rockstar frontman of a never-ending education funk machine. Outsider

@nathan_stevens @TheWeirdTeacher I love that I've never seen one of these twice #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:09 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Except here, where all us outsiders are insiders. We're like kids in a YA novel in here. We're all unique.

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:09 PM EDT

#WeirdEd I’m going to use the word “different” a lot tonight. It’s up to you to define it how you want. This isn’t a quiz.

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:09 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Thomas Mision, PreService ElemEduT stuck in a really disorganized TPrep right now... Grrr https://t.co/VMMuK1ER0K

#WeirdEd Aaaaaand here we go! (the chat format is pretty normal, for which I'm sad.)

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:10 PM EDT

@mrterborg bed? I sleep upside on a branch inside a coffin #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:11 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Q1 Is your class different?

nathan_stevens Sep 21 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@korytellers @ohsoearly @TheWeirdTeacher that is definitely going to be a yes #weirded

doodlinmunkyboy Sep 21 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Jay, HS English, Gimli, Manitoba, Earth-1 #WeirdEd

owenpeery Sep 21 @ 10:11 PM EDT

biblio_phile Sep 21 @ 10:11 PM EDT

oh yay I made #WeirdEd! Jumping in late! I'm CT from Honolulu, HI. I'm always an outsider just bc I'm pretty introverted. But I love ppl.

korytellers Sep 21 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1 Yes, the name alone makes it pretty different. How many Innovation Classes do you know of? #WeirdEd

slwindisch Sep 21 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1: From what I hear? Super different. Honestly? I have no idea. #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:11 PM EDT

@doodlinmunkyboy #WeirdEd Your city is named after a dwarf. That's so cool.

mathtans Sep 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1 The T I should be volunteering w/. Yes. Diff, piloting lots of new stuff. FlexSeating,makerspace,more flipped than last year...

doodlinmunkyboy Sep 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1: well, the adult in the room matches to the beat o his own drum at times... #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@biblio_phile #WeirdEd Yaaaaaaaayy!!! (@mel_katzz note the punctuation)

morgetron Sep 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1. Yes, I think so. Every year. Every day. In comparison. YES. Different. #weirded

nathan_stevens Sep 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher A1 yes it is like an edcamp #WeirdEd

ohsoearly Sep 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher I'm just glad I can use this #WeirdEd https://t.co/nvBIwZWK5Z

owenpeery Sep 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1 I see 17 classes, not sure #weirded

MsLafferty Sep 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1 my class is different by definition. E.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. individualized based on Ss specific goals. #sdc #WeirdEd

TheLaneFloyd Sep 21 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1: Absolutely. #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@MsMarshallCMS #WeirdEd Hold onto your ears!

doodlinmunkyboy Sep 21 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher Does make finding stuff in the tweets challenging. #WeirdEd

JoPrestia Sep 21 @ 10:13 PM EDT

Hiya #WeirdEd jumping in late quiet day today in Peer Support but may need to jump out if it picks up!

edutechgirl Sep 21 @ 10:13 PM EDT

msmusiced Sep 21 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1: Yes. I teach kids how to hit instruments correctly and make nerd references. And lots of sarcasm bc my kids think it's funny #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@biblio_phile @Kaepernick7 #WeirdEd I'm honestly hoping my kids bring up Kaep. I've been nudging.

KristinaBarabas Sep 21 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1 not different enough... I'm working on it #WeirdEd

mrterborg Sep 21 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@owenpeery Well yes, but we know you're from Cali so that's not unusual. #weirded

slwindisch Sep 21 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@msmusiced Sooooo....maybe my class is not different? #WeirdEd

mathtans Sep 21 @ 10:14 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1: I suppose my class would be different than it was 3 years ago. For better or worse.

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@KristinaBarabas #WeirdEd OH! Ok, I like the honesty here. Can you expand?

GeoJo22 Sep 21 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1 oh yes. We were noisy, when noisy wasn't cool. #WeirdEd

ohsoearly Sep 21 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher and this #WeirdEd https://t.co/onnBdYqFyW

Ms_Belseth Sep 21 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1- Is this a trick question? #WeirdEd

doodlinmunkyboy Sep 21 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1: Each class is a mix of different people & personalities, making each one its own unique entity #WeirdEd

owenpeery Sep 21 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1 compared to other Twitter users no, compared to other Ts in school and district, YES #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:14 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1 Also, trying a more gentle, nice approach for work. Not exactly a "class" but care prog. in a school,so sorta counts?

mel_katzz Sep 21 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1: the beautiful thing about being pre-service is getting to play with different. So yes. Trying. Failing. Trying again. #WeirdEd

morgetron Sep 21 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1. Some of my students helped me hide rubber frogs with my face on them in other teachers' classrooms today. #shenanigans #weirded

MissShuganah Sep 21 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1 I wish my class had been different. Too much conformity. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@biblio_phile Yeah, alas, due to being unable to choose StudentT Or Field Exp. for Bach Prog. Im missing out on most of it. #WeirdEd

AwesomeScience Sep 21 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A1 My classes are different - loud, outside as much as poss., hands on, varied, quirky, fun, busy, plus I sing(badly) and dress up #WeirdEd

owenpeery Sep 21 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@edutechgirl @MsLafferty I see 400 Ss a week, I could never do that, how do you do it #weirded

Ms_Belseth Sep 21 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@mel_katzz That's how it should be when you teach too :) #WeirdEd

korytellers Sep 21 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@GeoJo22 This may be coming up later in the chat, but the whole noise thing can be such a touchy subject in schools. Why is that? #WeirdEd

biblio_phile Sep 21 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@mel_katzz love love love this. #weirded

brianrozinsky Sep 21 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1 On our best days, when learning happens, I'll say an idealistic, "No." #weirded

owenpeery Sep 21 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@biblio_phile @Kaepernick7 @TheWeirdTeacher love it, all of it, I'm in SF, and we barely get to that #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@biblio_phile #WeirdEd This after 2.5 years of working with her almost full time unpaid vol work. After looping w/her and Ss for 3,4,now5th

MsLafferty Sep 21 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@owenpeery @edutechgirl special day class. I have a caseload of 7 currently #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Sep 21 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher I guess the real question is Are there any classroom that are the same? #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@mel_katzz #WeirdEd I can't stop telling @veronica3of5 this. (she's my student teacher)

biblio_phile Sep 21 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki sadface. hopefully you can still catch some of the goodness? #weirded

MsMarshallCMS Sep 21 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A1 I'm gonna just answer this with a photo or two-you can infer amongst yourselves #WeirdEd https://t.co/AtvFAcrLgP

SarahMJoncas Sep 21 @ 10:16 PM EDT

a1: In some ways, yes. Not different enough maybe? It needs to be differently different. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@mel_katzz #WeirdEd That's how I approached my field exp. previous to BachProg! Didnt hurt that my schedule was more flex b4...

GeoJo22 Sep 21 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@korytellers I think it all comes down to control. Authoritarian instead of authoritative. #WeirdEd

korytellers Sep 21 @ 10:17 PM EDT

@mel_katzz That's so interesting you say that-as it seems so many pre-Ts say they don't get to play around w/different. #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:17 PM EDT

#WeirdEd https://t.co/Sj1qJkvCVc

KristinaBarabas Sep 21 @ 10:17 PM EDT

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@biblio_phile #WeirdEd Yeah,just morning. Not whole day. Hopefully,can start MornMeets soon. We get to the real meaty talk.esp as 5th grdrs

slwindisch Sep 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens @TheWeirdTeacher Ss, no. Bt at 1 school, all the Ts are clones! #WeirdEd

JoPrestia Sep 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A1 I sure hope my class(es) are different. I always think about whether I would like to be in it and plan with that in mind. #WeirdEd

GeoJo22 Sep 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@Ms_Belseth always #WeirdEd

owenpeery Sep 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@mrterborg but I was born in NJ, so maybe the hearse is driven by a Soprano #weirded

doodlinmunkyboy Sep 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens @TheWeirdTeacher I was just thinking how the same activity breeds different results in each class. Love that! #weirded

korytellers Sep 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@GeoJo22 But why is it that so many Ts seem to think less noise is better? Are that many that much of a control freak? #WeirdEd

biblio_phile Sep 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@MsMarshallCMS these are all delightful. thanks for sharing these. :) #weirded

nathan_stevens Sep 21 @ 10:18 PM EDT

@MsLafferty @owenpeery Honestly, things change constantly. Right now, it is projected to be 28 total in Inclusion classes. #WeirdEd

#WeirdEd Q2 is coming now, a curveball that relates back.

@JoPrestia That is a good test, methinks. #weirded

owenpeery Sep 21 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@MsLafferty @edutechgirl that makes sense #weirded

korytellers Sep 21 @ 10:19 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens I would say yes, so many grade level teams are told to do the exact same things all the time. #WeirdEd

Checking out a little early #WeirdEd Thanks for a great chat! Loved learning all these weird things about all of you! Make it great week!

MsMarshallCMS Sep 21 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A4 Mostly it's time. Sometimes it's time because I just have too many creative ideas and can't implement all. Brainstorm is real🌪 #WeirdEd

MissShuganah Sep 21 @ 10:53 PM EDT

A4 I also tried to teach poetry. Carl Sandburg. I gave them one of my poems, too. They liked that. I was surprised. #weirded

edutechgirl Sep 21 @ 10:54 PM EDT

A4: Some of the tools that teachers have recommended. Not enough time. #WeirdEd

AngryTeachr Sep 21 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@biblio_phile @mel_katzz also real talk-what is this #weirded hashtag? Lol

danibostick Sep 21 @ 10:54 PM EDT

Very fun chat. Glad to have found my tribe. Logging off. Is this weekly thing? #WeirdEd @TheWeirdTeacher

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:54 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A lot of what "different" is sounds risky. And risky is a buzzwordy buzzword in education right now. Leading to the last Q.

JoPrestia Sep 21 @ 10:54 PM EDT

hey @TheWeirdTeacher what do we bring when we leave early? Chicken?? #WeirdEd https://t.co/MgWBYbf1vr

#WeirdEd Q5 When you hear teachers talk about “taking risks” what does that make you think of?

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:54 PM EDT

@danibostick #WeirdEd Yuuup. Eveery Weds t 7pst. Come play.

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:54 PM EDT

#WeirdEd Awww yeah @biblio_phile w/ another EdWeek article. Go read it afterchat, goooo

mel_katzz Sep 21 @ 10:54 PM EDT

A5: Going off script as an act of resistance. #WeirdEd

It usually involves them taking the actual board game out of my room. Jerks. #WeirdEd https://t.co/HAnIIuNEj4

A5 having more fun than the T next door! #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Sep 21 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher I think you mean the word "Safe" #weirded

oolalume Sep 21 @ 10:55 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki @TheWeirdTeacher @mel_katzz That would suck. Dunno-try being upfront/honest/eager. Maybe they'd dig that. #WeirdEd

brianrozinsky Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A5 I. Do. Not. Have. A. Plan. Here. #weirded

GeoJo22 Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A5 If a T is taking risks, they are trying to do something for their students. #WeirdEd

slwindisch Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A5: Giving zero effs unless it makes your kids better humans. #WeirdEd

MsSirna_ArtEd Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

Q5: innovation #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher A5 isn't that edu code for trouble maker? #WeirdEd

SarahMJoncas Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

a5: I've heard it used in so many different ways that it has very little meaning to me anymore without context and explanation #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@AngryTeachr @biblio_phile @mel_katzz The @TheWeirdTeacher weekly Wed Night chat. #WeirdEd Is fun,silly,awesomely introspective

oolalume Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher So freakin true!!! buzzy buzzness. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

#WeirdEd W/out trying to sound like a jerk, I think a lot say they WANT to be different, but don't make the jump. There's a gap.

lesliefarooq Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A5: Trying a teaching strategy I've never tried before, hoping it doesn't totally flop, being ready to own it with grace if it does #weirded

morgetron Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A5. I think of risk in terms of academic risk--putting myself in students' shoes. School can be scary. It's all about perception. #weirded

doodlinmunkyboy Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

A5: For Ts, that there's a culture that makes what you feel best practice for you & your Ss unacceptable. #WeirdEd

slwindisch Sep 21 @ 10:56 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher This is a billion percent true. #WeirdEd

JoPrestia Sep 21 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher yep scared they might fall in #WeirdEd

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@oolalume @TheWeirdTeacher @mel_katzz I will be. use the assertiveness I learned partnering w/ @Mrs_MacPhail for 2.5 yrs. I hope #WeirdEd

MsMarshallCMS Sep 21 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @AwesomeScience best vocab quickie ever. (Headbandz) #WeirdEd https://t.co/iwpe37V8by

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:57 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki @mel_katzz #WeirdEd Gotta be honest and nicely aggro about it.

KristinaBarabas Sep 21 @ 10:57 PM EDT

A5 Getting out of their comfort zone and taking the chance that something might fail just because it might end up awesome #WeirdEd

doodlinmunkyboy Sep 21 @ 10:57 PM EDT

A5: For Ss, a T has set up something that may challenge, and they want to see their Ss try their damndest. #WeirdEd

ohsoearly Sep 21 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher like starting a social media account for your class before the school has approved a plan for Ts #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@MsMarshallCMS @AwesomeScience #WeirdEd I LOVE that a drinking game has become a teaching strategy.

MissShuganah Sep 21 @ 10:58 PM EDT

A5 I don't hear teachers talking about taking risks. I took risks. Wrote lesson for PLATO. Tried to help students. #weirded

MsLafferty Sep 21 @ 10:58 PM EDT

A5 anything that runs counter to S, P, admin expectations of what learning in a classroom looks and sounds like = risk #WeirdEd

btcostello05 Sep 21 @ 10:58 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher never thought of it as being different,thought of it as being me,"everyone is different"isn't as true as I thought #weirded

biblio_phile Sep 21 @ 10:58 PM EDT

Honestly I'm like "I gotta go talk to that person stat." #weirded

mathtans Sep 21 @ 10:58 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A5: Where did all the risks go? You're "taking risks"! I hope you replace those in the staff room, I need some next month. #OkNo

mel_katzz Sep 21 @ 10:58 PM EDT

#WeirdEd @TheWeirdTeacher buzzzzzz 😴 https://t.co/z3EZeUuoXk

edutechgirl Sep 21 @ 10:59 PM EDT

A5: True story, bungee jumping. #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Sep 21 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@mel_katzz #WeirdEd I need to write a chat that ends up with me just getting a bunch of "cats falling off things" gifs.

slwindisch Sep 21 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@mathtans Bahahahahahaa! #WeirdEd

shadow_uzumaki Sep 21 @ 10:59 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @mel_katzz nicely aggro. I love that LOL #WeirdEd

A5: To be honest, some of the 'risks' I hear other music Ts talk about are things I try all the time. I'm not a veteran, I mess up. #WeirdEd
