Be careful out there today for all my Liverpool based folks. Wasn't able to move the car due to the road being like a sheet of ice. Only going to get worse!

Although I feel “relationship builder” should be at the top of the list, being a “learner” is critically important...students, parents, colleagues and the educator him/herself needs to know there is a commitment to life-long learning. #cncting4kids#bfc530
Q. While they are intertwined and equally important, which one of @gcouros 10 Essential Characteristics resonates the most with you today and why? #cncting4kids

#ICE18 is an exciting opportunity for educators throughout the state - I wish the event was treated as 3 one day conferences. Many educators are only able to attend 1 day & often districts rotate who attends each day to enable more of their educators attend

Educators are the biggest lever point to change the lives of our students. Be life long learners to improve your superpower #ICE18@mawilearning#d75learns
Imagine if what I had to offer you today was only what I knew 18 years ago. Not effective or relevant, right? Be a lifelong learner. @MawiAsgedom#ICE18
Why should Ts be lifelong learners? Because our kids deserve it. They deserve the very best we can provide them and the very best may not have been discovered yet @teach42#ICE18
Big shout out to @LeslieFisher at #ICE18. Great message about not ever giving up on kids, making sure they have the right tools, and everyone always learning! Thx!!

Because we can always be better and technology changes so quickly that there will be better ways to teach and learn. Our students weren’t born in our past and we must do our best to prepare them for their future. #ice18
The best way to help students is to help educators. Each year, educators should be able to offer their students more based on what the educators learn each year. #ICE18@MawiAsgedom

I love that today's #ice18 conference is kicking off with a discussion about teachers being lifelong learners. The best educators model this mindset for their students! #Curiosity#lifelonglearning
Day 2 of learning awesomeness at #ICE18! 😎 I love starting each day with these panel discussions! Such wonderful food for thought from experts in the education field that inspire me at the beginning of each day! #engage109#edtech#FutureReadyLibs
Power of social media is that so many educators get to have a voice during the opening session by tweeting their own answers to the panel questions using the #ice18 hashtag.
#Palos_118 teachers had a crowd for their session on using Seesaw in the classroom. Thank you Alison and Andrea for sharing your knowledge! So proud that you are part of our district. #118FullPotential#ICE18
.@mawilearning It is important to ask question of the kids and colleagues. Get to know what they like, it may lead you to more learning. #ice18#d75learns
A1: Modeling to students but but also to be ready for next practices. If we stop learning we are doing a disservice to the generations of kids to come. #ICE18

How do you keep up on your own learning (when you have so many demands on your time and energy)? Be mindful, be deliberate, be bold. Schedule time to read, research, explore, then share your fave discoveries with others. @teach42#ICE18
Ask your Students for feedback. They can be your best coaches! Students as customers for a customer service approach. Raw, authentic feedback. Don’t be afraid to ask. @kristinziemke#ICE18
We're finding those moments that connected us to teaching in the first place when we meet and interact with people in a venue like this @rushtonh#ICE18
The #ice18 panel talking about the power of being connected. Social media lets you connect with people who are similar to you and who are different from you. Check your connections. Be sure you follow a diverse group of people.

Panelists kicking off #ICE18 Day 2 talking about the importance of lifelong learning & connecting with other teachers via social media to share ideas #innovate28
A3. I can testify that getting connected changed EVERYTHIG for me. Early in my career, I almost left the field. First change was when I found a school that fit. Second change was getting connected. #ICE18
As a classroom teacher attending my first ICE conference I so appreciate the shout out and support by the panelists!! #ICE18#edtech#ForTheLoveOfLearning
Love hearing @teach42 remind us “there’s nothing more powerful than an active network... keep it moving! Remix & share... & it doesn’t have to only be online!” #ICE18
"There is nothing more powerful thAn an active network." Expand your PLN so it includes people who look different, think different, and do different. This makes US better. @teach42@mawilearning@mentortexts#ICE18
This is the whole truth about being a connected educators! Obvious to you. Amazing to others. - by Derek Sivers https://t.co/WdvO0h62yI via @YouTube#ICE18
I’ve been intrigued with the game Fortnite lately, and have been thinking about its educational properties and potential challenges. This article provides a good overview of the game. #ICE18
Share. Whether it’s on social media, in your community, district, school, or with the teacher across the hall. Keep sharing! #ICE18#lifelonglearning@teach42
“There is nothing more powerful than being part of an active network” #ICE18 Remix culture can lead to new ideas and to innovation. Even if the twitter count of followers is small, reaching out to others can make a difference.
A3: We learn best from one another! Connections are the biggest piece to that. I have recently heard the word Silo used a lot in regards to education and teaching, but have not seen much done to connect ourselves across those silos. #ice18

“You don’t know what you don’t know,” is a cop out. In an age of information, not knowing is simply an excuse. We have the power to know, get in the know, connect with others that know. #ice18
From mentor texts to “mentor tech” - our kids need to see high quality thinking and learning - let our kids follow us and see how we engage in community online @KristinZiemke#ICE18
Can’t wait to get to #ICE18 Tomorrow’s talk and panel will focus on Equity. Yes, each student has a story, but are we ensuring each and every student is supported in sharing that story!!
A4. One way I saw this work in my classroom was through blogging...this was powerful, especially with issues concerning justice. My Ss did amazing unpacking very complex issues, and I learned from their perspectives. Shared mine, too, but it was one view among many. #ICE18
A4: At the higher-ed level, I have found the use of Twitter to be imperative to connecting with my Ss. In K-12 I found including Ss passion in learning helped me connect w/ Ss. #ice18
‘Mentor Techs’ for students to see an appropriate model of the use of social media as a tool for thinking & connecting. Connect with kids online to build relationships. Amplify relationships. @kristinziemke#ICE18@wagnernancy Same for Ts to build a learning & sharing culture.
Great comment. My Q is, I hear "I didn't know that was possible" How do you even begin the knowing process if you are not aware it is even a possibility? #ICE18

Don't look at technology as "good" or "bad" but rather think how we can leverage it as an outlet for kids and how it can be used to empower our students. #ice18@mawilearning
Don't step back step forward when met with a challenge that's when growth and learning happen. Allow students to bring agency to the process via @MawiAsgedom at #ICE18
TMW you are participating in the #ICE18 Welcome / Opening Session / Featured Speaker Panel in your PJs from Baltimore! ❤️ the power of Twitter & learning!
One thing we need to remember is we don’t always know which questions we should be exploring. For me the key to connected learning is finding the right questions that lead me to more questions not just answers. #ICE18

A5: 'Making a difference in their sphere of influence' dives into Authentic Work. Are students integrating their passions into your curriculum and applying them to a larger community? This then supports student agency, do students have the choice in your class to do this? #ice18
"Too much of what we expect students to do in school is FAKE! (When's the last time you made a diorama?) We need to leverage technology for authenticity." - @KristinZiemke#ICE18
"Is the work we are asking kids to do real or fake - when was the last time you built a diorama? Engage students in high quality work!" via @KristinZiemke at #ICE18
Is the work we are doing with kids real or fake? Reflect on this, and then leverage tech to help kids tell and listen to stories of others, then take action. #changethenarrative#ice18#d100ice@KristinZiemke
How can we use technology to help kids tell their stories? How can we use it to invite Ss to hear the stories of others? @KristinZiemke#ICE18#empoweredlearner
Thank you, @sarahdateechur for asking about how to encourage student agency instead of growth mindset. There is a difference and we need to pay attention to building agency in our students. #ice18
Keep these 2 simple words in your mind “Real or Fake?” Is your lesson/assignment authentic, significant, and relevant? If it only ‘lives in school’ then it’s not real! Is this going to have an impact in our world? Make it relevant. #ICE18
Wow, that has power: "the key to connected learning is finding the right questions that lead me to more questions not just answers." So, next Q: How do you support Ss, Ts, Admins, etc. in this process of finding the right questions? #ICE18#MindBlown
Is the work your students are doing something that is meaningful and authentic? Would you like doing it? Step into your S's shoes and ask those questions. #d75learns#ICE18
YES!!! "Are we creating work for students that's real, or work that only exists in schools? Ask a professional outside the field of #education when was the last time they created a diarama. Unless you're a miniaturist, it's not happening." Via @KristinZiemke at #ICE18#edtech

Learning about Coaching Structures: "Coaches will focus on the person first, then the practice." Really helps to refocus my priorities. @janicemattheis@sarahpetrin#ICE18
#ICE18 I'm in an awesome session on tech buddies. There are adorable student presenters in this session sharing about their learning. I picked this session because of the kids being here and that got me thinking, how do other people at ICE pick what sessions to attend? Thoughts?
Hmmm. Sounds like a challenge! Collaboration is a critical change agent. “It’s about learning, not technology.” Supporting teachers on this challenging journey. #ICE18
Eligibility requirements don’t work to keep kids in school. @RPS205 has data that shows it is more important to keep kids in school and connected with their teams than remove them from their supportive environments. #ice18#esports
Hearing about "Learning Mascots" with @HeckAwesome today at #ICE18. A great way for students to encourage themselves and others in #sketchnote form. I need to develop a Learning Mascot...it might look like a cross between @MrMac_Walker and @MrPStrunk. #122edchat

I can watch this over and over: When you know your why, your what has more impact - Amazing Grace | Michael Jr. - YouTube https://t.co/ZLFVxW12Nx#LT8Keys#ICE18
Game based learning. Using a game to help teach a concept and idea. Think Minecraft for creating battles from history. 53% of teachers find increased collaboration when using games. #ICE18
Thanks @MrsEggert13@MrsFonksFriends@mrsdguido for an excellent presentation! Love the clear direction sheets & focus on supporting students to take ownership of learning and leadership with their buddies. #ICE18
Game-based learning. It IS often misunderstood. #ice18#ICE2018 It is more than just simply playing games. Games foster collaboration. Engages “at-risk” students, simulates the work environment. #edtech
I’ve got an exciting proposal for you, @drbrunsonGO, based on @henrythiele ‘s breakout session at #ICE18. Hint: one minute of video is worth over one million words!

Video might the best way to share info about what’s happening in our classrooms. Time to give students and teachers a real voice! #innovate28#studentvoice#teachervoice#ICE18
I know it's hip to say "encourage students to fail" but we need another word. Persistence, trial and error, mistakes are great...and necessary to learn. "Failure" has a permanent connotation, and even has a "letter" grade attached. #ICE18#wordsMatter
20+yrs ago, I taught her PPT & today LHS grad Collette O presents at #ICE18 STEM HR with Seesaw. Great to hear of your school's 3D prosthetic work by 5th graders! #golemont#meleimoment
Did you know that @Illinois4H works with and plans for #STEM ? I didn’t but now I’m a big fan of it thanks to Keith Jacobs. I’ll be looking more into this ASAP #ice18 Would love to bring him to @UnitedCUSD304#BeUnited
Come learn with me at 3:45 today at #ICE18- talking about using tech to connect and communicate with middle school students and their parents! I'll be at the ICE Booth right in the middle of the exhibit hall so you can't miss me! #D100ICE#TweetMeInTheMiddle

How about a student created video creation team in your school. An entire program designed to teach the film creation process in middle school. Videos are powerful, Chris Ulmer is proof of that. Get your school's message out. #ICE18
Grades should reflect learning, not compliance. Do we give kids full credit for late assignments? Does it matter when in the semester they learned something? They learned something! @alicekeeler#ICE18
Thanks @MawiAsgedom ! It's tricky. We've had some motion with new teachers... who tend to then bring along their more seasoned mentors. Thanks for the reply! #ICE18
@alicekeeler is killing it at this Teaching Math with Google Apps session! Discussion, feedback and creating relationships with students is the best way to learn! #ICE18
Passionate about learning, technologies, diversity and social justice? @NationalLouisU new MEd and Eds programs can help you soar! Learn more at Booth 328, and/or at our info session 12-2 pm #ice18@ice_il
Research says YOU assign the grade, not the gradebook. Learning, not compliance! Give a kid as many “re-dos”until they get it right and give full credit for their work. It’s about the learning, not the grade! @alicekeeler#ICE18 👏🏼#RTSD26Learns#growthmindset

Just a thought or question isn't this almost the same as schools or districts hiring consultants to integrate their curriculum and they get paid for it? I wonder if we should look at our own teachers in house to provide resources that we need.

Correction: The right technology is the accelerator. Accelerator probably isn’t the right analogy either as tech helps increase depth of understanding, creativity, application, different perspectives. So much more than increasing pace. #ice18#edtech#edchat
Stopping asking your students what they want to be when they grow up. Ask them instead what problem do they want to solve. @EricPatnoudes#62learns#62ICS#ICE18

What does it mean to read? Word recognition, comprehension and fluency. Still as true today as ever, even if you’re reading a non print source like GPS directions, tweets, websites, ebooks, etc... @kristinziemke#ice18
I paid $13 for Valet so I wouldn’t be late to @alicekeeler’s Math w/ Google Apps #ICE18 session this morning.
Thanks Alice for making it #WorthIt and then some! Amazing tips tricks ideas and quotable thoughts.
Thx @BusEdCrev As I put learning in my Ss hands I encounter this thing often but I will continue to challenge them...who’s with me? The 21st Century needs more innovative Ts willing to release the control into the hands of the learners #TechexceLZ#ICE18
Tossing one more tweet for @ice_il for listening and correcting the split room in Schaumburg E. Yeah it might cause confusion on the schedule but was a much needed solution. #TheyListened#TheyFixedIt#ICE18#SocialMedia
Learning about Treasure Hunter with @MrsCford_tweets for #mrscfordgamifies#ICE18 is so interesting-using dice to determine the number of words in a response combines math and language skills
“Orchestrating controlled failure by resisting the urge to jump in and fix it” @BusEdCrev = one of the hardest most uncomfortable things for Ts to grasp - but so valuable in teaching Ss creativity! #pbl#20time#4CExceLZ#ICE18
81% of 6-8 year olds use YouTube weekly. Do we teach them how to use it correctly? They don’t get that instruction at home, must cover this in our classrooms. @KristinZiemke#ice18
Don't be afraid to push the button on the computer/tech. Computers are NOT as easy to break as they used to be. What's the worst that can happen? #ICE2018#ICE18
#mrscfordgamifies#ICE18 The best thing I’ve done so far at the conference with 17 words: I have met so many people, who have helped me expand my PLN. I’ve had fun today.
listening to @aliciaduell with @teacherMrMic about failures and experiences... when you experience a setback, do you 1) get back to normal 2) go downhill or 3) use it as a catalyst for growth? #ICE18#growthmindset

Who is making the trip to #ICE18 ? We have three elem solutions in the booth: VocabSpellingCity, WritingCity, and Science4Us ? Here's hoping many principals come to Booth 916 to tell us what help they really need. Otherwise, why leave FL? @IESA_IL@ilprincipals
First attempt at a creating a badge in Google Drawings to use with my Maker Club kids. I want students to know who the experts are on tech tools. @MrKosko#ICE18
Come learn with me at 3:45 today at #ICE18- talking about using tech to connect and communicate with middle school students and their parents! I'll be at the ICE Booth right in the middle of the exhibit hall so you can't miss me! #D100ICE#TweetMeInTheMiddle
Reflection from #LT8Keys It's so easy to get lost in everything else, but without the relationships, the "everything else" really doesn't matter. My goal is to focus on building those relationships and connections. Culture matters! #ICE18
Alice Keeler = Amazing! Use Google Classroom to engage all students. "Quietest students are thinking." Give all students a voice. Thank you @alicekeeler
Moving from essential questions to big questions. Can we get students to think about those deep open ended questions and are they able to formulate those types of questions? Instead of "Is what I am teaching working?", Try "Where will my teaching take my students"? #ICE18
Met the incomparable @alicekeeler while buying her book “Google Apps for Littles” (#21learns, I can’t wait to talk G Suite for primary students)! #ice18
If you are an instructional coach & not following @kimdarche stop what you are doing right now & make that happen! She is brilliant & has the coaching game down to a science! 🙌🏻 #ICE18
Tomorrow - Join #FutureReady's @thomascmurray and @NoApp4Pedagogy in Nirvana C (Modern Learning Space) to discuss and create learning spaces for today's modern learners! (10:15-11:15) - #ICE18
Gear: Use of Space and Time
Well #ice18 my brain and heart are full. Wish I could be here all three days, but wow what an amazing day! Thank you to all the #ICE18 planners, organizers and presenters!
Learning so much at #Ice18! So glad to have the opportunity to learn from some of the top #edtech experts in the country. Thank you @ice_il for organizing such a great event!
This is a great opportunity to see great student focused/driven/led Pedagogy in action. I recently had the privilege of going. It was a formative experience. I was able to share my experiences with my colleagues. #ICE18#personalizedlearning
Last opportunity to see #PersonalizedLearning in action this year on Apr 10-11! Field Experience allows participants to visit PL sites, network w/ other practitioners & discover strategies to get started in their own schools. Come visit us this spring! https://t.co/kzz0o2POzY
23 years ago I moved from NC to teach in Winnetka, IL. It was the smartest move I ever made. If you are a #futurereadylibs who wants to work in a progressive, collaborative, + professional district, don’t be afraid to make the move! Deets in the job: https://t.co/1TPWZ1tQK0
Kate Rogers and Tracy Culcasi gave an awesome presentation on the power of student interviews in US History and the importance of collaboration #ICE18#99learns#dgspride
After a long and productive day at #ice18 What’s the best way to decompress and unwind? Rocket League! First time playing. Fun, addictive, promotes teamwork, collaboration and social skills. Good platform for esports.

Found a cool new tech toy today called a Merge Cube at the #ICE18 conference. The cube is $1 and the app is free. Colleagues and I cleared out the store on the way back home!
Great session today by @readmrsd about collaborating with your librarian! We do ❤️ partnering with teachers and we are “pathologically” helpful! #ICE18@MrsCWright4
I officially figured out what I need to do for a @DonorsChoose I need to start assembling a @Flipgrid studio. Have to do it in 5 parts, but I'm starting tonight. #FlipgridFever#ICE18
Thank you, Sarah! For the comments, the inspiration, and the link to your PLF thoughts. Feeling quite lucky to have been at #ice18 to hear your message. And congratulations on becoming Dr.

We could just buy cupcakes at the store. Some people, though, learn how to bake their own, add their own special ingredients, enhance them with sprinkles, and share them with others by the dozens. Thx #ice18 for the actual cupcakes & #d100pride staff for being “bakers.”

Sarah, I cannot thank you enough for joining and for sharing about @edu_match! Rock Your World is truly one of my very fav #edtech teams! You all must chat!!!!!! 🌎🌍🌏💙💚💙 #CelebrateSarah#ICE18
Hi @alicekeeler! One tip we found w using VR (regardless of student needs) is make sure you start w clear learning targets. These will guide you and your tech will = enhancement and not = gaming! Btw #assessmentliteracy leads our way 😀 #ICE18@rwormeli2@RStiggins#IllinoisIC

Of all the vendor swag out there, my absolute favorite thing is STICKERS! Get on it companies! (I don’t need another pen! 😂😂😂) #ice18#instagram#sandburg205#creativetech
What an AWESOME 2 days of teaching and learning at #ICE18! So proud of my friend @LandesJ for rocking her first ICE presentation. Highlight of the trip was meeting the brilliant @alicekeeler. Can’t wait to bring all this knowledge back to our awesome staff @MarionUnit2!
In 1988 about 44 percent of black students went to majority-white schools nationally. Only 20 percent of black students do so today. https://t.co/PsJO9FjPZj#ice18
Been loving the #ICE18 conference, but it's been hard to be out of the classroom. Decided I would make a @TodaysMeet for a little review Q and A for my Ss before tomorrow's test.
I love snail mail! Came home from the incredible #ICE18 conference and my bucket continues to get filled up by the hugs from my Fam and this piece of mail from @topdogteaching! Kayla you rock my world! Best surprise ever! 🙌🏻💕#connectededucator#pln #… https://t.co/m9U8XpOotR
Loved representing @brainpop at #ICE18 today and sharing all the awesome things @WindsorWildcats Ss are doing to personalize their learning on the site! Such a great day!!

@TuckerCarlson has already let us know that #MayorRahm is helping illegals vote so he can control the polls.
This is very dangerous for the LEGAL CITIZENS.
This is vote me in, and I will let you stay and screw everyone else.

Hello #pln#Ice18 I’m looking for suggestions for precision cardboard cutting tools. I have the Klever Kutter but am looking for more precise (detail) work. Thanks in advance! @TinkeringStudio@wkharrop@lieberrian
"PLNs allow us to learn and grow together" Well said @sarahdateechur I love connecting my virtual PLN with a face-to-face meet. Always a 'fan-girl' moment! #ICE18#edumatch#LoyolaET
Modernizing Education: Buy, hold, or sell. What would you do w/libraries, smart boards, blended learning, personalized learning, chrome books, VR, anchor charts...? #D100ICE#ICE18
@stephbird6ela Let Adam know I shared his Passion Project today at #ICE18 . I loved sharing how a 6th grader is stepping up and taking action on Education Reform @thomascmurray thanks again for letting Adam's voice be heard!
Reflecting on another great day at #ICE18. Thanks @mrsforest and @MissKsClassrom for your presentation on formative assessment tools. @BerwynSouth100 is doing wonderful, innovative things with tech. Lucky students. Proud Berwyner! Hope to connect. #D100ICE
Showed @DMooreSpanish this worksheet and her immediate comment was "you don't have to think." Exactly, we MUST evaluate the quality of learning of what we give to students. #ice18
Join us for "Reading for Meaning with Read Live" tomorrow morning at 10:15 AM & learn to accelerate the growth of your begining & struggling readers using our research-based strategy. #ICE18
#ICE18 Report: Video is the new hot media. Lots of affordable tools, software, and equipment from multiple sources. VR and AR keep getting better with advancement in video resources. Played with some fun AR tech that will be big in 2-3 years. Stickers are the new currency.
There's still time to get to know our #perfectpear at #ICE18! Stop by the #PearDeck Booth 409 for ongoing demos of the @Google Slides Add-On complete with free Premium Access upgrades - and don't forget to grab a tote bag!

A4: My most favoritest-est-est moment in education happened YESTERDAY when I brought 6 students to present at an #ICE18 workshop on Mastery-Based learning. They were dropping serious knowledge.
#PersonalizedPD
Loved attending my 1st #ICE18 convention today! So excited I got to meet up w/ so many old friends & new friends too. Can't wait to try out the new apps & extensions I learned about!
Today I spent the day at #ICE18. The day was full of ideas, inspiration, incredible people and I was reminded of how deeply lucky I am to be able to create and share what I am absolutely madly passionate about. It was a really great day!!
Left #ICE18 today & I can say this. I am on the right track, but I still have things to do. It is great when you hear things that you can take back right away. Then, hear things that make you realize how far you still have to go. Thanks @SmitJason@KingKellym I know where to go..
I'm in the Perfection Room, near exit west of the elevators. It's a conference room with conference tables. Attendees have to pay extra to attend. #ICE18

A3 at #ICE18 today promethium team shared Bluetooth connection in some of their boards works with some robotics do Whole class can see code we are testing robots & apps with them tomorrow and will tweet pics and video
Tomorrow I am doing a double session on #googleclassroom at #ICE18 12:15 to 2:30 OR LONGER! I have 50 tips and i won't get through all of them. ICE said I could just ... keep going. So we will see!
Ms. Jones, Mrs. Sidlow & Mrs. Meyers thank the eager participants of “Coding Across the Curriculum” @ice.illinois #ICE18. The 2.5 hour session flew by as fast as the drones! #olchspride#sphero#drones#codingisfun
#ICE18 Attendees! Don't forget to stop by Schaumburg A at noon to hear about implementing flexible seating on a budget. We'll address the pros and cons, student reactions, and systems that were put in place.
Thx for a fantastic, fun and fast #ecechat in robotics coding tonight! Archives will be fantastic for Ts that missed tonight @ice_il EC members check it out #ICE18
#ice18 folks, if you're attending Tuesday this session is a MUST! It's got it all: authentic learning, collaboration, tech, community partnerships, and more! #wearewarren#digcit
Two takeaways from day 2 of #ICE18 1) Make small, student focused decisions rather than total overhauls, and 2) coding and tech integration can be done (and done well) if teachers are brave enough to try and take the risk. Odd, considering we ask our students to try and be brave.
Thanks for presenting in our space and doing the interview with our publication, @ideaguy42! I learned a ton yesterday during your session. Hopefully we'll cross paths again before the show's over. #ICE18
Keep the #ICE18 excitement & sharing going! Apply to present at #TECH2018 ! Share what your students are doing with tech with our State Legislators! See the pics for info!
