Hi everyone a Rebecca Bagget school technology specialist joining the late night chat #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1 Wish I saw more #FlexSeating but know some #admins don't like that idea. I think it's great though. Gotta change w/ the times! #UTedChat

jamesballif Sep 21 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1 They look different, unfortunately they are not always taught different. I think we need more project based learning! #utedchat

#utedchat A1 Depends on the classroom. Elementary for me in the 60s meant desks in rows and a teacher who used a ruler to smack hands!

PGLAB24 Sep 21 @ 11:09 PM EDT

I'm following many of you educators. I'm a parent that advocates for children & public education. #utedchat

JulieAllenTHS Sep 21 @ 11:09 PM EDT

A1: Mine doesn't! Thank heaven! Haha. But it's taken a few years to modernize it. No desks... modular tables instead, technology. #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:09 PM EDT

@tfenton84 Great observation. Yes, some classrooms are WAY better but not all. Part is due to furniture though. #UTedChat

Hi I'm Dannielle Tibbitts and I teach 4th grade #utedchat

covili - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1 Somethings seem very similar - classroom setup, testing, etc. Other things very different - technology in rooms, the Internet #utedchat

ckirgan5 Sep 21 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1 I think my classroom looks different in that I have lots of technology and books, but the same because of all the desks. #utedchat

mscraftynerd Sep 21 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1: Yes and no. The physical layout of classrooms is VERY similar to when I was in school- overcrowded. #UTedChat

qhenderson Sep 21 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1: Some do. Some don't. In modern the classroom there is a positive disturbance in the learning force. Tech = possibilities #utedchat

tfenton84 Sep 21 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@jamesballif I could not have said it better. Copying definitions from the Internet does not make it high tech #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@jamesballif Great point. Just b/c they LOOK different doesn't actually MEAN anything. They need to be TAUGHT differently! #UTedChat

FarrBfarr Sep 21 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@lars3eb Agree with desks in rooms... however, arrangement is more collaborative... more tech than ever at our fingertips #UTedChat

Rlbaggett Sep 21 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1 I see positive changes, teacher of all grade levels working hard to embrace classroom devices and student learning needs #utedchat

MaripoZel Sep 21 @ 11:10 PM EDT

#utedchat A1 Classrooms, curriculum and tools much better now. Less chalk, students have more choice - come to SEOPs.

1kajohnson Sep 21 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1: Student learning looks different with the use of tech, but assessment seems to not have changed as much #utedchat

qhenderson Sep 21 @ 11:11 PM EDT

@covili Make a change we will #utedchat

dtibbittsUT Sep 21 @ 11:12 PM EDT

A1 I see some similarities but the glaring difference is the technology we have now- computers, smartboards, etc. #utedchat

Ann_Riding Sep 21 @ 11:12 PM EDT

A1: many look way too much like mine in the 60s & 70s. Tech yes, but instead of an overhead a computer and projector. #UTedChat

FarrBfarr Sep 21 @ 11:13 PM EDT

@lars3eb In saying that, my daughter's 6h grade class has tables, stools, bean bags, all sorts of seating options #UTedChat

Good to have you join us in #utedchat tonight Chloe! @tes_teach

mscraftynerd Sep 21 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A1 cont: not to mention my room was WAY MORE "cutesy" than the classrooms I was in as a kid. And for me that is a big plus! #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:13 PM EDT

@FarrBfarr I love that her class has #FlexSeating b/c I think it'd be better for kids. #UTedChat

qhenderson Sep 21 @ 11:14 PM EDT

A1: Maybe if we can get everyone to call them collab-rooms instead of class rooms we can get them all on the same page #utedchat

tusz11 Sep 21 @ 11:14 PM EDT

A1 I see the Flex seating craze is hitting some places, but I'm not completely sold on it. Anyone use that in their class? #utedchat

covili - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:14 PM EDT

@lars3eb @UENpd @brooksby @robobent I don’t know about that - some of us have it and some don’t. #utedchat

KierstenHatch Sep 21 @ 11:14 PM EDT

@lars3eb @jamesballif I agree students learn different now. They were born with cell phones. #utedchat

@tes_teach We love our lurkers - I mean observers. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:16 PM EDT

A2 We start by allowing Ss to have a little choice in learning. By allowing for #ProjectBasedLearning & real world work. #UTedChat

mrnesi Sep 21 @ 11:16 PM EDT

A1: in some respects yes. But not even clos in so many more. #utedchat

mscraftynerd Sep 21 @ 11:16 PM EDT

A2: I think first and foremost we need to teach kids to problem solve. Then they can apply that to ANY PROBLEM. #utedchat

tusz11 Sep 21 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@LynnSmargis I've seen those studies but I haven't seen any that correlate directly with flexible seating. #utedchat

tfenton84 Sep 21 @ 11:17 PM EDT

A2 ST math, anyone? #20time ? Let's hear it for projects and investigation. Solving real problems! #UTedChat

missplott Sep 21 @ 11:17 PM EDT

A2: Tt need ongoing PD & open-mindedness, students need problem solving & critical thinking skills. #UTedChat

Rlbaggett Sep 21 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@mscraftynerd yes thanks to TPT and Pinterest rooms are more "cutesy" #utedchat

jamesballif Sep 21 @ 11:17 PM EDT

A2 after they learn the basic in early ed, we need to teach them how to learn instead of what to learn. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:17 PM EDT

A2 Ts need support in trying new things w/o fear of being punished. Grades don't always show learning, they show game playing. #UTedChat

JulieAllenTHS Sep 21 @ 11:17 PM EDT

A2: Encourage GRIT! Help Ss to know that they can learn anything if they work for it... And facilitate learningthe best we can. #UTedChat

@JulieAllenTHS so glad you brought that up. Spoon feeding has to stop sometime, right? #utedchat

covili - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:20 PM EDT

A2 I think the best way to prepare kids for the future is to be less helpful today. We can’t provide all the answers for Ss. #utedchat

kytelearning Sep 21 @ 11:20 PM EDT

A2 teaching to code could definitely be a big part in that conversation #utedchat

dtibbittsUT Sep 21 @ 11:20 PM EDT

A2 Problem solving, being flexible,adaptable, perseverance, metacognition, asking good questions,-more skills rather than content #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:20 PM EDT

@tusz11 @LynnSmargis The trouble w/ #FlexSeating is that it doesn't mean a stu will perform better on test but have more comfort. #UTedChat

effort2learn Sep 21 @ 11:21 PM EDT

@jamesballif Should we really wait until after early ed? Sooner the better in my opinion. #utedchat

mrnesi Sep 21 @ 11:21 PM EDT

misterlarsen Sep 21 @ 11:21 PM EDT

I'm pretty sure this was music to @MrNesi's ears! He loves getting people to CREATE podcasts! #UTedChat #PodcastPD… https://t.co/fKtgvBYieq

LynnSmargis Sep 21 @ 11:42 PM EDT

Hey all I love and look forward to seeing you next week! I'm off to bed and to create my first #podcast tomorrow! #utedchat

KierstenHatch Sep 21 @ 11:51 PM EDT

@FranceLinford I agree. I feel like I have to dance with flashing lights to keep their attention. They are over stimulated! #UTedChat

Wanna keep #UTedChat going in between our weekly chats? Why not join the #UTedChat @Voxer group? https://t.co/28NSCKrEM1 #VoxerChat

A6 I really like the tech in 20 lessons our tech specialist does. short, sweet, informative, effective #utedchat

JulieAllenTHS Sep 21 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@ckirgan5 ... Want to go with me?!? #utedchat https://t.co/U41YUMF0Az

covili - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:50 PM EDT

Don’t forget that #EdcampUT is coming! Save Nov. 12th on your calendars. Registration opens Oct. 1st on https://t.co/SmeV6AQCEU #utedchat

FarrBfarr Sep 21 @ 11:52 PM EDT

I'm headed to bed... thanks for the learning and insights! #UTedChat

tusz11 Sep 21 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@lars3eb @covili True, but don't you need something to be standardized in order to get usable data? #utedchat

DaveLanz1 Sep 21 @ 11:52 PM EDT

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@tusz11 @covili Exactly. I'm not against stand tests if they're used along with other types of tests. But you do need them. #UTedChat

anderbrooke Sep 21 @ 11:53 PM EDT

Late to the game ... A6: Have a purpose for it. Instead of learning the tech, focus on an instructional outcome #utedchat

Oako79gmb Sep 21 @ 11:53 PM EDT

Q6 - More opportunities for online training and blended learning - I like the UEN model. #utedchat

Chronicbeard Sep 21 @ 11:53 PM EDT

A6: Get teachers collaborating and into each other's rooms. Would you trust a Doctor that never talked to his peers? #utedchat.

ckirgan5 Sep 21 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@JulieAllenTHS Of Course!! Love Edcamp! Trying to get some of my Ts to come too. #utedchat

mscraftynerd Sep 21 @ 11:53 PM EDT

A6: I wish I had an answer...unfortunately I think the teachers need to buy in first which is difficult to do. #utedchat

BaggaleyMr Sep 21 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6: I've been a twitter junkie all summer! Loved #notatiste #utedchat

missplott Sep 21 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6: having 1 FTE STS per school would be a good step in the right direction -more time to teach & model instead of just fix things #UTedChat

mscraftynerd Sep 21 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6: I'm trying to help teacher see the benefit by doing a gradual release model, but getting them to come to voluntary PD is hard. #utedchat

covili - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:55 PM EDT

Next week we have @tpyfer moderating #utedchat. The topic : Teacher-led Innovation in Schools. This should be good!

twitin10 Sep 21 @ 11:55 PM EDT

Know unconnected educators? Share Twitter in 10 Challenge Video with them https://t.co/FESFOntd4h Starts 10/1 #UTedchat #twitin10

BaggaleyMr Sep 21 @ 11:55 PM EDT

@mscraftynerd I try to do stuff that is so cool the other teachers have to try it! #utedchat

kytelearning Sep 21 @ 11:55 PM EDT

A6 ummm...we're trying to help solve that #utedchat https://t.co/2ls5lrVTCx

MaripoZel Sep 21 @ 11:55 PM EDT

#utedchat A6 Online classes have helped. Drastic changes in F2F attendance VS Online. Ts like learning in their PJs after kids in bed.

qhenderson Sep 21 @ 11:56 PM EDT

A6: Investment = return. Put something in and get something out. Investing in learning has way better return than a slot machine. #utedchat

anderbrooke Sep 21 @ 11:56 PM EDT

A6: Was part of aNebo ed tech cohort a while ago. We learned first how to do project-based instruction, then how to use tech #utedchat

MaripoZel Sep 21 @ 11:56 PM EDT

A6 Trying flipped classrooms for Ts too. #utedchat.

covili - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:56 PM EDT

A6 I’ve found that social media tools like @twitter & @Pinterest are helping me find new ideas all the time! PD by pinning! #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:56 PM EDT

A6 I'd love to see more w/ #badges & #MicroCredentials. Allow Ts the same choice & tiered instruction we want Ss to have. #UTedChat

jamesballif Sep 21 @ 11:57 PM EDT

Teacher and District buy in. Educational outcomes in mind! Love what I am hearing tonight. #utedchat https://t.co/aaxqAPBuxA

That’s all I have, everyone. Thank you for joining and participating tonight! #utedchat https://t.co/BTVuiXuEsV

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A6 Wouldn't it be great to be receiving college-level credit for attending Twitter chats? Some of my best PD comes from you all. #UTedChat

kytelearning Sep 21 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A6 I think more people should know about the online UeN classes as well #utedchat

anderbrooke Sep 21 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A6: Use the same tools to teach teachers as we want to teach students #utedchat #adultlearning

MaripoZel Sep 21 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A6 Twitter is the best resource for good tech ideas in the classroom. I wish more Ts in my school would try it #utedchat

FranceLinford Sep 21 @ 11:58 PM EDT

@CPowell56 Agreed. The real world holds so many tech applications. Our students need to be ahead for the job force competition. #utedchat

MaripoZel Sep 21 @ 11:58 PM EDT

#utedchat To all a good night!

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 21 @ 11:58 PM EDT

Isn't teaching a "professional" career like doctors? Pretty sure many Ts have advanced degrees. #UTedChat https://t.co/HC0GbYKyCK

ckirgan5 Sep 21 @ 11:59 PM EDT

@lars3eb That would be awesome! And I agree some of the best PD is found here on #utedchat

bizrockstar Sep 21 @ 11:59 PM EDT

Ans 6 #utedchat I think we need to take a look at how firms are using technology with their adult workforce & model some of that with our Ss

misterlarsen Sep 21 @ 11:59 PM EDT

Come back next week! @tpyfer is amazing! Think of me as the opening band for the actual talent. #utedchat

BaggaleyMr Sep 21 @ 11:59 PM EDT

Thanks everyone! I love learning from you all! #utedchat
