#edtechbridge Hi, I’m Mike, @BrainPOP’s Creative Director in Honolulu. Huge fan of @tocaboca; can’t stop playing @motionmath's pizza game

katyamuses Mar 9 @ 4:18 PM EST

A1. I imagine a lot of play and exploration among designers, and (hopefully) a lot of interacting with young learners #edtechbridge

Tara_Bonds Mar 9 @ 4:19 PM EST

A1: Developers need to interact with young learners and their educators to build standard based learning opportunities. #edtechbridge

jamescollinsjr Mar 9 @ 4:22 PM EST

Excited to be participating in the #edtechbridge early learning Ed tech meeting! #SXSWedu

katyamuses Mar 9 @ 4:22 PM EST

@JoLisaKH I hope so too, but I imagine getting lots of young learner input is hard for many #earlytech creators logistically #edtechbridge

The_AKAdemic Mar 9 @ 4:22 PM EST

I would assume a combination of ideas/input from all parties who would benefit from the product. #edtechbridge

KevinKrippa Mar 9 @ 4:22 PM EST

A1: typical developmental process for edtech should involve teachers, parents, and students. #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Mar 9 @ 4:23 PM EST

A1: Hopefully meet with parents, students, teachers from the beginning and then invoke upon the dev process as a team :) #edtechbridge

mzgrz Mar 9 @ 4:25 PM EST

A1 devs identify a need or a goal to be met #edtechbridge

cybraryman1 Mar 9 @ 4:25 PM EST

@OohShiny_Sarah I made a TweetDeck column for @katyamuses to find questions. #EdTechBridge at #SXSWedu TweetDeck https://t.co/YM61q8sKTl

mzgrz Mar 9 @ 4:26 PM EST

A1. Is there something that can support Ts or ps that we can provide? #edtechbridge

KevinKrippa Mar 9 @ 4:26 PM EST

@mr_issacs I'm unsure where the questions are located. #EdTechBridge

AbbyKennell Mar 9 @ 4:27 PM EST

A1: developers need to start w/ a problem users (teachers & students) face by asking ?'s. #edtechbridge

katyamuses Mar 9 @ 4:28 PM EST

@KevinKrippa @mr_issacs Here is Q1 What (do you imagine) is the typical development process of EdTech for early learning? #edtechbridge

mikewatanabe Mar 9 @ 4:28 PM EST

@ignacio_s There are also a lot of great answers in the #edtechbridge chat about what we might do even earlier :)

TaliaArbit Mar 9 @ 4:28 PM EST

A1: we're exploring the overlap between Ts, parents and both in #earlyed app procurement. The stakeholders are intertwined! #Edtechbridge

katyamuses Mar 9 @ 4:28 PM EST

Q2 coming up! #edtechbridge

katyamuses Mar 9 @ 4:28 PM EST

Q2. How are stakeholders (parents, educators, students) involved in the process of EdTech for early learning? #edtechbridge

TigglyKids Mar 9 @ 4:29 PM EST

#EdTechBridge Q1. It's very important to involve teachers, parents, and kids in the design process for early learning

mzgrz Mar 9 @ 4:29 PM EST

A2 in our group not many have had opportunity to provide feedback. #edtechbridge

LindseyOwn Mar 9 @ 4:29 PM EST

We were just promoting the heck out of #edtechbridge in our panel on #edtech learning from teachers at #SXSWedu!

mr_isaacs - Moderator Mar 9 @ 4:29 PM EST

@LindseyOwn Yay! Can you come tou our meetup at 5? #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Mar 9 @ 4:29 PM EST

Q2. How are stakeholders (parents, educators, students) involved in the process of EdTech for early learning? #edtechbridge

CREATOMbuilder Mar 9 @ 4:29 PM EST

A1. It could be based on research with edtech companies partnering with universities and lab schools #EdTechBridge

tiggrtch Mar 9 @ 4:30 PM EST

Becky from Central California, saw friends posting and decided to jump in. #edtechbridge

katyamuses Mar 9 @ 4:30 PM EST

@LindseyOwn Awesome! I heard there was an #edtechbridge shoutout from @WickedDecent

TaliaArbit Mar 9 @ 4:30 PM EST

From an educational perspective, Ts want tracking pieces for kids. #edtechbridge #earlyed

mzgrz Mar 9 @ 4:30 PM EST

A2 ps may not know how to provide feedback or feel like it's not heard #edtechbridge

jamescollinsjr Mar 9 @ 4:30 PM EST

Where do you provide feedback? How can a parent share their experience? It's a struggle with early ed tech. #edtechbridge #SXSWedu

j_millstone Mar 9 @ 4:30 PM EST

How can parents and teachers give feedback to developers? Not a clear process - could rate in Store, or just not download. #edtechbridge

JoLisaKH Mar 9 @ 4:30 PM EST

A2 Many models depending on company's interest in involving stakeholders. #edtechbridge

LindseyOwn Mar 9 @ 4:30 PM EST

@mr_isaacs are you running that?!? It was on my list, but now I'm def in #edtechbridge

cybraryman1 Mar 9 @ 4:30 PM EST

A2 All should actively work with children to learn together. Educators need to help parents #EdTechBridge #SXSWedu https://t.co/s4Y6TaY8oH

katyamuses Mar 9 @ 4:31 PM EST

A2. I'm not sure tbh I involve Ts/Ss in my work in the classroom. How do #earlytech get Ss involved if they are pre-school? #edtechbridge

lambert_kellie Mar 9 @ 4:31 PM EST

A2: By making connections, providing 2-way communication, piloting & beta testing, along with asking for feedback/input #edtechbridge

mzgrz Mar 9 @ 4:31 PM EST

A2 can there be a way for Ss to provide feedback #edtechbridge

LindseyOwn Mar 9 @ 4:31 PM EST

A) lots of EL tech is at home... So parents vote w their dollars. #edtechbridge

TaliaArbit Mar 9 @ 4:32 PM EST

You want to ask Ss "did you like this app?" and, though they can't verbalize it, you can tell if they liked it. #edtechbridge #earlyed

MathFlashcards Mar 9 @ 4:32 PM EST

Tara Bonds on Twitter https://t.co/Fsyl12DFd3 #edtechbridge https://t.co/1k1rJ7HAvr

KS_EdMktg Mar 9 @ 4:32 PM EST

A2. Devs should've incorporated their feedback from start. Ongoing feedback s/b built into the product. Lean Startup, peeps. #edtechbridge

tiggrtch Mar 9 @ 4:32 PM EST

A2: aside from having ONE vote per school in PLC for curriculum choice? Teachers are hardly heard by most places. #edtechbridge

sandobalj Mar 9 @ 4:33 PM EST

A2: stakeholder feedback needs to occur more than once. It needs to be continual. #edtechbridge

tiggrtch Mar 9 @ 4:33 PM EST

Ss don't like an app, they won't use it-teachers will revamp for them-but admins revamp for teachers? That'll be the day. #edtechbridge

KS_EdMktg Mar 9 @ 4:33 PM EST

A2. If tech is research-based, should be shared upfront w/both parents and teachers. Devs should set up advisory board. #edtechbridge

CREATOMbuilder Mar 9 @ 4:33 PM EST

Q2. Depends- edtech development ideas do start as local problems at a local school. It's how to infer relevance elsewhere. #EdTechBridge

DebbyCall6 Mar 9 @ 4:34 PM EST

A2: Communicating S needs is key to develop and enhance Edtech skills, and to prepare Ss to be future ready (Leaders). #EdTechBridge

aoakes4 Mar 9 @ 4:34 PM EST

A1: Sorry. Still thinking about Q1. #edtechbridge #SXSWedu What early learning research has the developer made the bedrock of his/her work?

KarinHogen Mar 9 @ 4:34 PM EST

A2: feedback from different types of stakeholders and even differentiate in that. Different types of Ts, admins, Ss, etc #edtechbridge

AbbyKennell Mar 9 @ 4:34 PM EST

A2: My exp shows limited involvement from stakeholders for development. Not bc unwilling but lack of opp. #edtechbridge

spaul6414 Mar 9 @ 4:34 PM EST

A2. Issue is to get everyone involved in process. Early childhood most parents have no idea. But recommend, give 2Ss 4trial. #edtechbridge

mslinch Mar 9 @ 4:34 PM EST

#edtechbridge Q2 At BrainPOP, we go into the classroom for feedback on early stage paper prototypes. Going to Bronx elem. school in the am!

Tara_Bonds Mar 9 @ 4:35 PM EST

A2: Beta testing with education. #edtechbridge

CREATOMbuilder Mar 9 @ 4:35 PM EST

A2. Cont... testing in many settings across demographics (public/private, economics, cultures) is key #EdTechBridge

@TaliaArbit Trial and error method. It's what works for Ss that is important. #edtechbridge

katyamuses Mar 9 @ 4:38 PM EST

Q3. What features of EdTech for early learning do parents and educators like? Dislike? Why? #edtechbridge

katyamuses Mar 9 @ 4:38 PM EST

Q3 in the house! #edtechbridge

TaliaArbit Mar 9 @ 4:38 PM EST

Ts want platforms that are enjoyable but also meaningful, not just "fun". #edtechbridge #earlyed

mzgrz Mar 9 @ 4:39 PM EST

A3 ps don't like in app purchases neither do Ts. Just make me pay up front! #edtechbridge

AbbyKennell Mar 9 @ 4:39 PM EST

A3: We like the ones that enhance learning targets for students. Dislike the ones that are merely fun. #edtechbridge

TigglyKids Mar 9 @ 4:39 PM EST

A3. Giving children the power to create and share their work with parents, friends, teachers, and classmates #EdTechBridge

jamescollinsjr Mar 9 @ 4:39 PM EST

A3: In-app purchases and bundles are a common enemy in our group. #edtechbridge https://t.co/SZCWA8QgRp

tiggrtch Mar 9 @ 4:40 PM EST

Many Ts are still technophobic, and want something easy for them to navigate, also. #edtechbridge

mzgrz Mar 9 @ 4:40 PM EST

A3 Make pricing easier to see. Show me the bundle #edtechbridge

mikewatanabe Mar 9 @ 4:40 PM EST

#edtechbridge A3: The distinct separation of learning goals and “the fun part" makes me sad

katyamuses Mar 9 @ 4:40 PM EST

@TigglyKids Sharing work with parents = super important. I hear that request a lot #edtechbridge

TigglyKids Mar 9 @ 4:40 PM EST

A3. Flexible edtech products that teachers could customize based on their stunners' needs #EdTechBridge

JoLisaKH Mar 9 @ 4:40 PM EST

A3: Our table is against annoying noises. #edtechbridge

sandobalj Mar 9 @ 4:41 PM EST

A3: EdTech features should have easy access for parents to support instruction and be informed. #edtechbridge

mzgrz Mar 9 @ 4:41 PM EST

A3 tell me the parent role in the description so I know I can be involved. #edtechbridge

katyamuses Mar 9 @ 4:41 PM EST

@JoLisaKH Are you guys tweeting by table at #SXSWEdu? #fun =) #edtechbridge

KS_EdMktg Mar 9 @ 4:42 PM EST

@jamescollinsjr Could you plz clarify? Do you mean unexpected in-app purchases and bundled prices? Or paywall of features? #edtechbridge

Q3. What features of EdTech for early learning do parents and educators like? Dislike? Why? #edtechbridge

NealManegold Mar 9 @ 4:42 PM EST

A3: Most early learning products are drills and memorization, I want even very young students thinking not regurgitating #edtechbridge

lambert_kellie Mar 9 @ 4:42 PM EST

A3: Any edtech that gives ongoing real time feedback is always appreciated #edtechbridge

TigglyKids Mar 9 @ 4:42 PM EST

JoLisaKH Mar 9 @ 4:43 PM EST

.@KS_EdMktg @jamescollinsjr Difficult for educators to secure permission to use apps that are not free. #edtechbridge

LindseyOwn Mar 9 @ 4:43 PM EST

A) dislike annoying music and cloying characters... Little kids can handle a little more sophistication #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Mar 9 @ 4:43 PM EST

@spaul6414 Agreed! #edtechbridge

KS_EdMktg Mar 9 @ 4:44 PM EST
