  • MathButler Apr 10 @ 10:35 PM EDT
    This looks great Do any of these work as a web app? (Can we start training Ss on it with Chromebooks too?) #IEedchat
    In reply to @shane_pinnell, @puhsd
  • mark_synnott Apr 10 @ 10:36 PM EDT
    A1: I'm an advocate for coding. Because of teachers like @techteacher88 , kids @PinacateMS are creating computer programs. #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Apr 10 @ 10:36 PM EDT
    A1: Can’t close digital divide w/out closing opportunity gap. Ss need opportunities to shape learning using digital tools. #IEedchat
  • Miss_Dean Apr 10 @ 10:36 PM EDT
    A1: Teaching SS how 2 use tools 2 create & giving them the chance 2 lead, explore, choose & more. SS need a voice in technology #IEedchat

      Q1: Please refer to this image from NETP16. What are you doing in your classroom to address the digital use divide? #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Apr 10 @ 10:37 PM EDT
    A1:Ss love creating dig. content but easily fall back into being a passive consumer. My goal is get Ss to create original content. #IEedchat
  • TomWhalen805 Apr 10 @ 10:37 PM EDT
    A1) We are already doing them all except coding and reaching out to experts in my history classes. #IEedchat
  • rguztec Apr 10 @ 10:37 PM EDT
    A1:I try to make them creators of content and not consumers. I have to put lot's of thinking on projects to make it effective #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Apr 10 @ 10:37 PM EDT
    A1: As a TOSA I share creation tools with teachers & emphasize students as content creators. #IEedchat

    A1: not in the classroom, but we try to support tools & resources that foster creation. #IEedchat
  • Miss_Dean Apr 10 @ 10:37 PM EDT
    A1: Technology needs 2 be differentiated also. We as Ts need to differentiate the use & make it accessible 4 all SS #ieedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 10 @ 10:37 PM EDT
    A1: trying to encourage more than passive use like collaboration and real research takes time and effort - blogging and dig cit #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 10 @ 10:37 PM EDT
    Really is a great tool. Hope to get more and more use out of it as we grow. #IEedchat
    In reply to @judykaylane, @puhsd
  • Chrisjlara24 Apr 10 @ 10:38 PM EDT
    A1: I'm really trying to get my students used to not just copying down what google says but really look at different sources #IEedchat
  • TomWhalen805 Apr 10 @ 10:39 PM EDT
    I do a little of both. I'm trying to focus on the missing link, curation of content. #IEedchat
    In reply to @rguztec
  • ieedchat - Moderator Apr 10 @ 10:39 PM EDT
    Q1b: In what ways can teachers be supported in moving students from ‘passive users’ to ‘active users’ of technology? #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 10 @ 10:39 PM EDT
    A1: The part where the image mentions Peer Collab is big for me - both for Ts in lesson studies and Ss in learning activities. #IEedchat
  • BaynesHeidi Apr 10 @ 10:39 PM EDT
    A1: Teaching Ss basic skills with @Raspberry_Pi and @arduino. Connecting digital and physical computing with design thinking. #ieedchat

    A1b: Teachers that are passive users need to be taught by their peers how to be active users. Not just told be active users. #IEedchat
  • rguztec Apr 10 @ 10:40 PM EDT
    I think I focus on the process of them thinking and collabing more than anything #IEedchat
    In reply to @TomWhalen805
  • AshleyMSJC5 Apr 10 @ 10:40 PM EDT
    A1b:Many Ts just need to get out and attend some great PD. They will see many tools for Ss to produce & publish, not just consume #IEedchat
  • mark_synnott Apr 10 @ 10:40 PM EDT
    A1b: Teachers that are passive users need to be taught by their peers how to be active users. Not just told to be active users. #IEedchat
  • TomWhalen805 Apr 10 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1b) We need to slow it down and dial in cool creation tools that are meaningful and serve a purpose. #IEedchat
  • rguztec Apr 10 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    I think we also need to get creative on how we do pd, because a 20 minute coffee session after school once a week can make gains #IEedchat
    In reply to @AshleyMSJC5
  • MathButler Apr 10 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A worthy note on learning via interaction with peers (vs robots) - Check out @ddmeyer's dissertation: https://t.co/W2gH4bHX9V #IEedchat
    In reply to @ddmeyer
  • Miss_Dean Apr 10 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1b: Appropriate Professional Development/Teacher Choices. Teachers teaching each other tools that work for them, examples etc. #ieedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 10 @ 10:42 PM EDT
    A1b: my district encourages T observations and demos; which works reciprocally, need more of this #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Apr 10 @ 10:42 PM EDT
    A1b: I think creating a culture where Ts feel safe sharing ideas and asking for help will improve this area so much #IEedchat
  • shane_pinnell Apr 10 @ 10:42 PM EDT
    A1b: we can help move from passive use of tech to active use by modeling during PD. #IEedchat
    • ieedchat - Moderator Apr 10 @ 10:39 PM EDT
      Q1b: In what ways can teachers be supported in moving students from ‘passive users’ to ‘active users’ of technology? #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Apr 10 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    A1b: Ts need to experience and observe what it looks like in the classroom through PD. Collaborate to alleviate any fear. #IEedchat

  • MathButler Apr 10 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    Multiple sources is a big deal. And not a hard one to implement. Saw example of this recently in Sci T's class w/ Global Warming #IEedchat
    In reply to @Chrisjlara24
  • rguztec Apr 10 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    A1B:Give them choice on how they can present content in class, allow multiple forms of creation of work. Start with 1 thing #IEedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Apr 10 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    Q2: What are some strategies to motivate students who seem to prefer to be digital content consumers rather than content creators? #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 10 @ 10:44 PM EDT
    True - curation is often a part of the process. Good to get Ss practicing the whole that leads up to finale. #IEedchat
    In reply to @TomWhalen805, @rguztec
  • Miss_Dean Apr 10 @ 10:44 PM EDT
    Ts leading PD 4 other Ts & giving them choice/options for PD helps Ts feel safe sharing ideas & asking for help. #IEedchat

    A2: Students can be motivated when the learning is relevant, when the student is the subject of the learning. #IEedchat
  • shane_pinnell Apr 10 @ 10:45 PM EDT
    A2: Allow them to create in the medium they are interested in. #IEedchat
  • Chad_Shaner Apr 10 @ 10:45 PM EDT
    A1b: give Ts opportunities to create digitally, i.e. blogging, collaborative planning w/ apps like https://t.co/trzdVnizoe #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 10 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    A1b: 1 step at a time. Start small. Get Ss to create a small piece. Even just a photo example added to assignment. #IEedchat
  • TomWhalen805 Apr 10 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    I show them revision history and hop in their Slides pushed out via Classroom to remind them to do their part. #IEedchat
    In reply to @rguztec
  • rguztec Apr 10 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    A2:Connect content to their likes, allow them to create experiences in order to gather the knowledge. Guide them, don't just lead #IEedchat
  • Chad_Shaner Apr 10 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    A2: Give Ss opportunities to publish and make it a big deal, celebrate their published work, make them come back for more #IEedchat
  • mark_synnott Apr 10 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    A2: Create assignments that are challenging and require tech but can't be completed by a Google search. #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Apr 10 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    A2:Ss admire their digital heros like Jacksepticeye https://t.co/UkJGp067vA If given the opportunity, they will create too. #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Apr 10 @ 10:47 PM EDT
    A2: Students choose how they want to demonstrate what they know. Authentic audiences. #IEedchat

      Q2: What are some strategies to motivate students who seem to prefer to be digital content consumers rather than content creators? #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 10 @ 10:47 PM EDT
    A2: In a math class... (1) Draw your work, (2) write your own questions. Often times math isn't looked at as a creative place. #IEedchat
  • TomWhalen805 Apr 10 @ 10:47 PM EDT
    A2) It's tough. I try to keep showing cool stuff as I come across it. Not everyone is a creative, no matter what Sir Ken says. #IEedchat
  • BaynesHeidi Apr 10 @ 10:48 PM EDT
    A2: Find out what is important to Ss and give them the opportunity to add their voices/creations to the overall discussion. #ieedchat

    Q2b: What are some strategies to motivate educators who are hesitant to embrace ‘active use’ in their classrooms? #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 10 @ 10:48 PM EDT
    A2 cont'd ... Most of the common replies to this are challenging for secondary math Ts to consider using. #IEedchat
  • TomWhalen805 Apr 10 @ 10:49 PM EDT
    True. I have 2 big time YouTubers in class. One is getting paid $50K to go to Coachella!! Drives a RangeRover! #IEedchat
    In reply to @AshleyMSJC5
  • jswilliams Apr 10 @ 10:49 PM EDT
    A2b: Ask the hesitant educator if they will allow students to use creation tools even though the teacher might not be ready. #ieedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 10 @ 10:49 PM EDT
    A2: advanced searches and academic searches though #IEedchat
    • mark_synnott Apr 10 @ 10:46 PM EDT

    It's kind of Big Brothery, but it works. #IEedchat
    In reply to @rguztec
  • rguztec Apr 10 @ 10:50 PM EDT
    A2B:Ask them to observe a class where they will see how the Ss are leading the learning. And remind them to start small, but start #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Apr 10 @ 10:50 PM EDT
    A2b: show them the outcome by showcasing Ss work. That's how I was introduced to using YouTube as a way for SS to show knowledge #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 10 @ 10:50 PM EDT
    A2b: similar to earlier, start small. Do one thing that incorporates more student creations; reflect repeat #IEedchat
  • rguztec Apr 10 @ 10:51 PM EDT
    Sometimes they need a little of that in order to allow an opportunity for us to ask them Q's and promote the learning #IEedchat
    In reply to @TomWhalen805
  • Miss_Dean Apr 10 @ 10:51 PM EDT
    Another important point about SS choice. Choice=empowerment= true creators #IEedchat

    Q3: How can we educate parents on the digital use divide? #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Apr 10 @ 10:52 PM EDT
    A3: We can educate parents by students going home & showing how they used these tools to move from knowing to understanding. #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Apr 10 @ 10:53 PM EDT
    A3: Parents need the tools from sites like Common Sense Media to learn to guide and encourage their Ss when they create content. #IEedchat
  • Chad_Shaner Apr 10 @ 10:53 PM EDT
    A3: creative projects that get parents to participate w/ their kids in digital creation can open their horizons to possibilities #IEedchat
  • rguztec Apr 10 @ 10:53 PM EDT
    A3:Using @CommonSense material we have hosted several parent discussions to make parents aware @CMIPerris. We want Ss to succeed #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Apr 10 @ 10:54 PM EDT
    Have students work on solving real world problems. Will win the parents over fast. #IEedchat
  • BaynesHeidi Apr 10 @ 10:54 PM EDT
    A3: More outreach and community events. Parents want to know more, but it's not always easy to disseminate the information #ieedchat
  • mark_synnott Apr 10 @ 10:54 PM EDT
    A3: Remember making CA missions out of sugar cubes with your parents? Assign a digital project that can include help from parents. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 10 @ 10:54 PM EDT
    A3: Get the Ss to show off - encourage the Ps w/ prompts to ask Ss, "What questions did you ask?", "What did you make today?" #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Apr 10 @ 10:54 PM EDT
    A3: Utilizing school functions like open house to show off SS digital creations as well as putting it on social media #IEedchat
  • Miss_Dean Apr 10 @ 10:55 PM EDT
    A3: Open House is a great way, P conferences, Phone calls, @Seesaw invites Ps 2 their child's portfolio & they can comment. #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 10 @ 10:55 PM EDT
    A3: showcasing student work like blogging, google sites... #IEedchat
