A2 we have a new generation that needs new ideas and ways to implement them. We need to teach to THEIR needs not ours #toschpride #mesqchat

nicolepaynemisd Mar 2 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2: we deal with more barriers than ever before today when educating kids. Innovation is required to reach EVERY learner! #mesqchat

CRRollins Mar 2 @ 8:12 PM EST

A2-ST need ways to engage with an innovative world that is growing and moving forward daily.Static classrooms produce static kids. #mesqchat

mckenny_shelbi Mar 2 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2) Innovation is crucial b/c the world is constantly changing & Ss won't succeed if we stay in our comfort zone. #toschpride #mesqchat

stooks_edtech Mar 2 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1 I see innovation as always looking for ways to improve or shift your thinking to make something more effective #mesqchat

sknighttech Mar 2 @ 8:14 PM EST

I agree that tech can surely be part of innovation, but we can make great strides just by thinking differently #mesqchat

In reply to @_bigedrose

A2: It's a must if we want our kids to succeed in tomorrow's future! #mesqchat

A2: Students today are a lot different in how they learn so I need to take a different approach to how I teach #mesqchat

TRushing Mar 2 @ 8:16 PM EST

#mesqchat A1- Innovation is responding to problems (old or new) in unexpected ways.

KWarnick13 Mar 2 @ 8:16 PM EST

Ah my phone is about to die :( #mesqchat

misdlibrary Mar 2 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: We risk losing the kids if we don't change from the way it's always been done- #mesqchat

tpreuninger Mar 2 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 You could've been a great teacher 10 years ago, but if you've changed nothing, you could be (and probably are) irrelevant.#mesqchat

RLRogers22 Mar 2 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 Don't keep doing things a certain way just because that's the way they've always been done. That leaves no room for innovation! #mesqchat

Kbkpetty Mar 2 @ 8:17 PM EST

@CRRollins adapting to student needs is part of providing the best education for all #mesqchat

In reply to @CRRollins

mpriceedtech Mar 2 @ 8:17 PM EST

Yes! We need to innovate and then make space for Ss to innovate as well. This is a skill our Ss will need. #mesqchat

In reply to @mckenny_shelbi

_bigedrose Mar 2 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 Our current Ss learn much faster than we did. Their learning needs drive technology vs technology driving their learning #mesqchat

KWarnick13 Mar 2 @ 8:18 PM EST

Our kids haven't lived in a world without tech. We tell them to put it away at school. We need to embrace it instead #toschpride #mesqchat

mnicholsedu Mar 2 @ 8:18 PM EST

technology also allows us to move fast, be nimble, and to assess their learning faster #mesqchat

Amen! Not required but definitely easier #mesqchat

Kbkpetty Mar 2 @ 8:19 PM EST

modeling is needed and difficult all at the same time #mesqchat

In reply to @mpriceedtech, @mckenny_shelbi

sknighttech Mar 2 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2: We are preparing students for a rapidly changing world. Old methods of education are inadequate to meet learners' needs #mesqchat

romenendez14 Mar 2 @ 8:20 PM EST

A2 in a global world of communication & collaboration the same ol' same ol' won't make our Ss #readynow or #futureready. #mesqchat

mpriceedtech Mar 2 @ 8:21 PM EST

A3- tech gives students access and options to consume and create in a way that is often faster and more versatile than other forms #mesqchat

A:4 I hope so because I'm really good at failing #mesqchat

dendally50 Mar 2 @ 8:23 PM EST

#mesqchat A2 Students are so plugged in @ home. We have to keep them engaged by learning in new ways-and to keep them WANTING to learn!

nicolepaynemisd Mar 2 @ 8:23 PM EST

A4: failure as a process (not result) is crucial to innovation! Must be willing to fail fast and fail forward to find the best way #mesqchat

Thecsolis Mar 2 @ 8:23 PM EST

A3: Technology can take the Student's farther than they ever thought before. #mesqchat

mpriceedtech Mar 2 @ 8:23 PM EST

A4- failure is a catalyst that can ignite resilience and act as a lesson for improvement and future success #mesqchat

KWarnick13 Mar 2 @ 8:23 PM EST

A4 Failure is showing that you are willing to try. If you don't fail you don't grow. It's a crucial portion #Toschpride #mesqchat

FarrisHillTech Mar 2 @ 8:24 PM EST

Q4: Yes! Trying something new always requires trial and error. In fact, it is a necessary part of making anything better. #mesqchat

Kbkpetty Mar 2 @ 8:24 PM EST

A3: Technology is the future and we are teaching the future, so why shouldn't they go hand in hand #mesqchat

dendally50 Mar 2 @ 8:24 PM EST

#mesqchat A3 Tech can be innovative if used creatively but not if just as a substitute for pen/paper.

romenendez14 Mar 2 @ 8:24 PM EST

A4 Innovation is at the service of our learning, failure is part of the learning. Also, to innovative u must go through failure.#mesqchat

A3: Technology is vital for innovators because it lets them achieve goals that were previously unachievable, even unconceivable. #mesqchat

I LOVE this! Authentic audience is SO important for our students. They are in a world that expects them to produce #mesqchat

Q5 Barriers to innovation are fear, intimidation & inferiority. You don't have to go at it alone. We'll be by ur side every step. #mesqchat

Teaching them how to transfer the skills & knowledge from personal tech to educational/professional tech is crucial #mesqchat

Absolutely! We must be brave enough to be the first follower https://t.co/xLT6aVGZto #mesqchat

A5: Our main barrier is our reluctance to change the way we've always done things. We need to open our minds and try new things. #mesqchat

romenendez14 Mar 2 @ 8:43 PM EST

that is something I tell my Ss constantly and I get the "alien look" from them. SO I keep telling them! #mesqchat

sknighttech Mar 2 @ 8:44 PM EST

Interesting! We might not be able to handle our own greatness :) How do we contain the fire? Would be a nice problem #mesqchat

tpreuninger Mar 2 @ 8:46 PM EST

.@prof_restrepo then think what could happen if we planted those seeds on purpose 🤔#mesqchat

In reply to @prof_restrepo

Kbkpetty Mar 2 @ 8:47 PM EST

I think before they "see the light" they have to see the value. How we get there- I'm still working on it 😀 #mesqchat

Q5: Barriers include one's own comfort zone and either their fear or refusal to abandon it. #mesqchat

tpreuninger Mar 2 @ 8:47 PM EST

I'll support anyone who asks...maybe some that don't #mesqchat

CgossM Mar 2 @ 8:44 PM EST

A-5 We have to accept & move beyond our comfort levels to foster innovation. Support is available but a move still has to be made #mesqchat

elProfMejia Mar 2 @ 8:48 PM EST

#mesqchat A3) technology is an ally in innovation, not a substitute. It carries out, not creates, the innovative ideas we have 4 our lessons

CRRollins Mar 2 @ 8:48 PM EST

Teachers can also have "planned failure" during a lesson to show Ss how to learn from and move past mistakes. #mesqchat

KBrandtedu Mar 2 @ 8:50 PM EST

Catching up on #mesqchat as soon as I get home!

Kbkpetty Mar 2 @ 8:50 PM EST

I think however they want! When they learn something, say create something that shows me what you know #mesqchat

elProfMejia Mar 2 @ 8:52 PM EST

#mesqchat A4) innovation is driven by failure. If everything works fine we are tempted to the "why fix it?" attitude. #ShandsTwitterBingo

sknighttech Mar 2 @ 8:54 PM EST

So true! We need to stop blaming the kids/teachers and focus on changing the culture of education #mesqchat

In reply to @jhottelmhs

elProfMejia Mar 2 @ 8:54 PM EST

#mesqchat A5) biggest barrier is conformity. Either bc it "works fine as is" or bc we are too cautious, innovation follows our fearlessness!

tpreuninger Mar 2 @ 8:55 PM EST

just go to @MISDiTech find the question tweets and answer with A1, A2, etc. and the hashtag #mesqchat You can do it!

#mesqchat A6) sign of the times: how do Public schools use technology to develop human capacity for all. PublicEd is full of great stories!

elProfMejia Mar 2 @ 8:58 PM EST

#mesqchat A6) owned my first comp at age 24, but had used one since elementary. Which other tech 1sts have Public schools made happen for Ss

sknighttech Mar 2 @ 8:59 PM EST

A6: How to innovate & make the "old school" new & better. How do we upcycle our classes & lessons to meet our students' needs? #mesqchat
