Scott, Proud Superintendent of @WeAreHTSD and co-founder/co-moderator of #satchat
Excited for today's chat with our guest moderators.
A1: LOVE this question. I teach game design & development so my kids are ALWAYS creating. One cool activity my kids participate in is called Watch it. Build. it. Mod it. - They learn from a @youtube video or tutorial, recreate something and then modify it to be their own #satchat
A1: Students created book talks to share with their classmates. Based on their book and preferences, they chose @Padlet, @Flipgrid or @GoogleForEdu tools that best fit their ideas. Intentional decision making at the core! #satchat

A1: We will assess diverse enrichment with synergistic effects. We will share out developmentally appropriate curiosity within the new paradigm. #satchat
A1: Students writing stories about the 1920's after reading the Great Gatsby. Ss used the Strip Designer to create comic books to tell these stories. Each pair of Ss had diff topics & we put them all together into 1 ebook. #satchat
One thing I've learned to help set kids up successfully as creators is to first give them time to play with different tools (doInk, iMovie, etc.) AND guide them to making different formats more effective (podcasts, movies, infographics). THEN, any task can be a creation. #satchat
A1: It's all about meeting learners where they are, not forcing any particular tool or approach, and organically introducing new ideas and resources based on conversation and collaboration. #satchat
A1: Creation in the classroom can take many forms and students can connect to authentic audiences around the world to share their creations! https://t.co/iZ5fmHjGhh#TasksBeforeApps#satchat
A1 Creation of videos with multiple purposes can be an amazing way for students to create. How to videos, re-enactment , original videos. There are lots of things they do using iPads. #satchat
A1: Using Google Slides as a template for S's to "Blog" daily or weekly in class. Such an easy way to incorporate writing standards, communication and include a larger audience. #satchat

A1 after @SkypeClassroom w/ a high school Science class my S’s began designing prototypes for a prosthetic device to help a duckling w/ a deformed right leg/wing. They sketched plans for HS 3D printer, used maker space to create prototypes, then sent all to SRSD HS #SatChat

A1: For a poster project, we had students create a Visual Narrative of their work in progress using Google Slides. It was neat for me to be able to see where students do this kind of work. And visual narrative saved one group who lost the poster right before submission. #satchat
A1 Use @Flipgrid or @explainevrythng to put students at the centre of their learning and empower their voice. Creating videos, celebrating student strengths are always my priority. Explain their thoughts and processes. #satchat#TCT18

A1. In the past I’ve had students utilize storyboardthat to demonstrate their understanding of plot, theme, and how story elements interact. They thought they were just designing a cartoon based on the story but were actually demonstrating mastery of three standards. #satchat
A2: students chose a Gandhi quote & reflected how his message of peace, non violence and civility could influence society today. Drafts were written & @Flipgrid was utilized for the final project. #satchat

A1 We had Ss recreate scenes from Romeo & Juliet. Some used a 360 camera to act out, some used @AdobeSpark, some used VR & coding. It wasn't about the how but it was about the what. The how just made it fun and a memorable experience. #satchat

A1 I often use @flipgrid to help Ss become better public speakers. The use of the tool gives the students the oral practice and helps them hone their presentational skills in preparation of their oral capstone graduation presentation required for graduation . #satchat
everything starts with what is being learned (task) in this scenario it is about how we will present learned information ... we're using iMovie, GarageBand, @Flipgrid GAFE, iBooks Author, ... #satchat
Our kids did something similar. They made podcasts about bravery in the neighborhood and linked up to Google Maps to make a walking podcast tour. https://t.co/PItOVk5UP2#satchat
A1: Digital citizenship is SO important for our Ss in a world where it is intertwined into their every day, it is so important to teach our Ss because they might not learn these lessons of how to properly handle tech anywhere else! #SatChat#TCT18
A2: To me, creating a learning adventure is a bunch of learning experiences where kids have voice and choice. I love #HyperDocs as a platform to set them up and keep them organized. Always ensure kids know what the learning goal is. #satchat
A2: Great quote! I provide an environment based on #stuchoice and #questbased learning - my students have a wide variety of opportunities to choose learning path and tool they choose to use. They learn how to learn. #satchat#coffeeEdu#coffeeEduNJ

A1: Amazing learning experiences for students start with their teachers: model the pedagogy we want for students in PD. Give teachers authentic, intentional and connected opportunities for learning so they can see the power and possibilities for their own students. #satchat
A1: @explainevrythng is fun! There’s a lot I haven’t tried out but if the kids have a tool they want to create with, I say go for it. Teach me! #satchat#tct18
A1: One favorite mashup of mine and my students was when we created virtual story scenes in @cospaces_edu by first spinning fantastic stories with @storycubes! #satchat
In reply to
@SimpleK12, @cospaces_edu, @storycubes
A2 I try to be authentic and make learning fun. It needs to be meaningful. I always think outside the box. Involve guests, authors, surprise visitors. Always stay a step ahead of them and create a wow factor. #satchat#tct18

A2- @CaldwellElemen Ss morning new show Ss have complete creative control over their script, writing, special effects, costumes, props only limited by their imagination. #satchat
A2: it takes teams of teachers who are risk takers in the classroom. I am fortunate to be surrounded by many. Sometimes we fail, but the integral part is debriefing after & figuring out a plan B. This is the most exciting part of our job. #satchat

kids need options, but they need to learn the skills first ... in my class it is about exposing kids to different tech and then letting them choose ... and sometimes they choose paper and that is ok too ... #satchat
A2 I take the time to talk with them and see what their needs are , I look at the building needs and find PD that will help us grow ( one time I took everyone to an escape room for “Team Building” #satchat#TCT18#coffeeEDUNJ

A2 Broad parameters, guidance but not giving my ideas. As I say to my Ss I want to see what you create from your imagination, not that you can reproduce my idea. Seeing what students can produce it the joy of teaching #satchat

A2 Open ended experiences that are deeply collaborative allow for plenty of time so Ss can iterate. Human focused invention convention and build your own mill city are recent examples. #satchat
A1 As a parent I recentlysat in on class presentations and loved the freedom they had to choose the format. There were videos, power points as well as poster board and other physical representations. Let them move along at their own pace.#SatChat
A2: Great teachers start each lesson with inquiry by asking students what they already know about the content and what they wonder about. The learning becomes meaningful to Ss because what the knownis honored as is what they want to know. #SatChat#Path2Serendipity
A2: Each week I offer a tip to help staff find new ways to approach their classroom. I strive to support passions of both the Ss and the Ts by encouraging taking risks of trying new things. #SatChat
A2: My modern US History Ss choose their own topics from 1990-2010 (major event or invention). After they all present, Ss have to explain how their topic ties in with at least 2 others. #satchat
A2 Playlists/choice boards that give students choice as well as give students the opportunity to learn at their speed enable engagement for all learning levels. #satchat
A2: Being a good digital citizen to me means modeling, monitoring, & practicing what you preech. Ss (& adults/people in general) need digital role models more than anything else! We are the ones to lead that appropriate use. #satchat#TCT18
I have loved using @SeeSaw and @Fligrid! It gives students a place to reflect and share their learning. They both give students an authentic audience, and a voice! #satchat
A2: I love to get the student's ideas and run with them. I gather resources or find ways to get them to make their own connections & share them #satchat

I find students learn the tech skills best through the authentic use of it in the classroom by the teacher first. Then, we bring the students in and explore the tools available to support our learning. #satchat
A2: Use technology and digital resources to get outside and away from screens. Technology is an incredible enabler of opportunity and imagination. However, we need to be disciplined to step away from the devices and experience the world around us. #satchat
Recently, bus drivers in our state staged a “sick-out” for better wages and benefits. After reading about their issues, my students responded by creating a podcast. It was a great experience and some went on to do their own podcasts at home #Satchat

A2b For staff is about developing a unified vision, providing learning opportunities with voice, choice, and feedback. Consistency in expectations allows for growth and will effect S learning #satchat
A2: Variety is key. Even though we know student-centered activities are best, it's good to change up engagement and delivery strategies. Good, well-constructed direct instruction is good in doses. + it helps learn become metacognitive about their fav learning methods #satchat
Rule 1 of any chat: never apologize for being late! Well, I kind of made up this rule but I'm sticking to it. The start time is only a guide, right?! Glad you made it. #satchat
A2: I think it all comes down to providing Ss with CHOICE! That puts them in the drivers seat! They choose the books, the topics of the book to write sentences about and more! #satchat

Learning is an adventure ... i like to think i am creating activities ... getting them doing and creating ... thinking. Next year i am going to try turning my US History class into a Dungeons and Dragons type learning adventure #satchat
A2: One great way of creating learning experiences is to use #Google Tour Builder for a history class or a book with historical locations. Students can "visit" as they learn.
#satchat
A2: Use technology and digital resources to get outside and away from screens. Technology is an incredible enabler of opportunity and imagination. However, we need to be disciplined to step away from the devices and experience the world around us. #satchat
Yes, Ts should have a basic understanding of the platform, after considering S outcomes first. However, they should not be expected to be the expert. Exploration of #edtech tool w Ss is a positive and important experience. #satchat
A2: Learning adventures for T's can be done with choice boards, virtual scavenger hunts, Twitter chats, Google Classroom book studies, Badges & gamification to add some fun competition. #satchat anything that lets them learn more, build culture & #innovatortsmindset

We have to make learning at least seem like it is exciting ... can't require kids to watch a crappy video and then expect them to get excited about learning ... #satchat
A2: My Ss have been on a #globalcollaboration journey this year! Each connection is unique & the learning experience is beyond what can be planned! We’re learned from Ss & educators all over the 🌎 this year! It’s been an AMAZING adventure! #satchat
A1 Stop giving all the information as answers! Allow Ss to inquire, explore, research, experiment, touch, invent, build, create! They will develop mastery and understanding as they make connections #satchat
A2. I include the students in the journey. For research projects, they have a choice of topic. For webquests, they help to add new stops on the trip. I feel like they get the most out of the experience by being a part of the process. #satchat
I love some of the potential of mixed reality & AR here. If you can find a nice mix of the two, it can be a happy medium. If you can ditch the screen altogether, that sometimes is better too. All about finding the right tool and balance. #satchat
#satchat A2: in addition to an all encompassing PBL program, we give our kids "Rover" time to do individual explorations on topics and questions of interest to them.
A1 We use Twitter in the classroom to connect with an authentic audience. Ss use any tech they want to create media pieces to create awareness. They have used @canva, imovie, @YouTube, @WeVideo, twitter polls #satchat
A2 by taking risks, I took a leap of faith and signed up for a global Climate Action Project which has changed my teaching, now we zoom w/ over 10 countries/11 states, famous experts like @frogmen@celinecousteau@lisahrabluk & it’s all authentic, solving real issues #satchat
Learning is an adventure ... i like to think i am creating activities ... getting them doing and creating ... thinking. Next year i am going to try turning my US History class into a Dungeons and Dragons type learning adventure #satchat
A2: I think this is what a multi-track/multigenre project's greatest gift is to the student. It's complicated at first to get the head wrapped around, but these projects are CHOICE-driven. CHOICE becomes VOICE either urging it on or supporting the one already developing. #satchat
A3: Challenges are diverse, just like how digital citizenship education is diverse. Ss perception of how serious it is that everything online is permanent is my biggest challenge & parental influences as well #satchat#TCT18
A2: give Ss time to take risks, make mistakes, and struggle through the process. This promotes a growth mindset, intrinsic motivation, and pride. ” https://t.co/PB2F0qhGBt#satchat

@JenWilliamsEdu, @ScottRRocco, @NowakRo
A2 I like to listen closely prior to creating experiences. This allows me to tap into likes & motivators. Give them something that piques their interest & BOOM they’re hooked. I’m obsessed with creating engaging experiences for both adult and student learners. #satchat
A1 using @EmpaticoOrg free platform & @GoogleForEdu slides my S’s created a presentation on local festivals to share virtually over Skype like platform w/ S’s in Memphis TN who did the same, building empathy while learning about where they are from #TheEmpathyChallenge#satchat
A3: We need to remember to be present to kids first, and then worry about teaching. No movie was ever made about a teacher who had an amazing lesson, but those who took the time to care #satchat
A2. An amazing learning experience starts first w/seeking to understand where people want to go. Once you have that, the opportunity for creative design is wide open. Create the time & space, dish out the resources, then Get Outta the Way. #satchat
A2 for staff- allowing them to share their expertise as leadership amongst each other via edcamp style PD or choice options of topics, tools, and even differentiation within PD #satchat
I like showing S's the pictures that come up when you google my name. The first one is usually my MySpace profile picture that will be there forever. It usually makes them think a bit. #satchat#TCT18
A2 Humor, smiles and energy. Those three present or even one of the three will usually guide you towards awesome. Finding creative ways to spark curiosity helps too. The words #whatif can really kickstart a learning adventure. #satchat
A3: This question really has me thinking. Sounds to me like we need to de-emphasize standardized testing and embrace learning for the joy of learning #satchat#coffeeEduNJ
A2 The Ss in my class are exposed to course content at the beginning of the course and then they are asked what do you want to learn, how do you want to learn it and once you have learned it what will you DO with the info and then they let loose (w support)! #satchat
A3: Bathroom passes. I teach HS Jr's & Sr's. You're 17 years old. Ya gotta go? Go. I don't need to grant you permission. Just don't abuse the right to walk out of our class. Gotta track it? Use a QR checkout/checkin #satchat
A3: Ss choose their own learning environment for each block of learning throughout the day in our flexible seating classroom; Ss create their own goals and tell me how I can help them; Ss write their parents emails (and CC me) when there's an issue at school. #satchat
A3:Recognize the learning isn’t about the adult in room, but the student. Step out of your comfort zone and make learning an experience to remember.#satchat
#satchat A2 Taken me a while but have learned to stop teaching the Ts how to use tools in hopes they will teach students. Now, I teach Ss directly. Ts quickly catch up when kids know what they are doing.
I had a student speak to the school board last night about the way that Actively Learn helped to improve their reading skills and allowed them to connect more deeply to the literature in our short story unit!
A3: When faced with anything, the question needs to be how does it impact learning. We need to major in the things that greatly impact learning. #SatChat
A1: This takes conversation & collaboration to create a culture of learning in schools. When teachers learn together & feel supported, they often look at classrooms & students differently, focusing on what matters most & taking instructional risks to benefit students. #satchat
A3: Having supplies on hand, staplers, paperclips, extra erasers, that Ss can take if needed. Group work: some days mandated and random, other days optional and by choice #satchat
A3 I see it as majoring in the major. When a teacher demonstrates passion for their subject & creates a safe & welcoming environment for their students things like forgetting a pencil becomes trivial b/c both teachers & students bought into a grander vision #satchat
A3 This is one area I continually work on. I taught my ELs the expression “Don’t sweat the small stuff” and they use it to remind me when I fall back on old habits. #satchat
A3: Remember that life happens outside school. For some students life is great; for others it is not. Show kindness in every moment at school because we may be the only ones providing love and needs on a consistent basis. Social-emotional and academic nurturing. #satchat
As i Shared with my Admin a couple of weeks ago ... my job is to teach content and build positive relationships ... i can't do that and be the "Hall Monitor" scolding kids about dress code #satchat
A3 Unfortunately some people are all about control- I have NO time for those people. Develop a rapport with your students , see what they need and do what needs to be done so they succeed #SatChat#TCT18#coffeeEDUNJ
A2: It’s a discussion about how we can approach things so that everyone is successful, and everyone can learn what they need to in whatever way works. There’s a lot of testing out and trying again if necessary. #satchat#tct18
A3: What counts is love & belonging before all else. Always. Maslow before Bloom. Greet Ss with a smile, hello, let's do this together, I see you, I believe you, I will push you to work hard because I know you can! #LoveWorks#SatChat

A3: Two great questions to ask everyday: How can I show love to everyone I meet today? How can I add value to the lives of everyone I come in contact with today? #satchat
If kids feel valued, safe & respected in school, they will thrive on all levels! Focus on building relationships; not on building obedience & compliance! #satchat
A3: I always remind myself to be a good teacher I need to be a great human. I focus on kindness, respect, and learning. My closet is filled with supplies, snacks and basic necessities that students require to be engaged. Relationships matter #SatChat
A3: Each student needs something different from their teacher and administrator. Build relationships first. Get to know the child behind the student. #satchat
A3 Focus on kids and building relationships. You need to know kids to be able to focus on what counts for them. Every child is different. Talk with them, listen to them, understand them. It is all about empathy and kindness. #satchat#tct18
A3: I try to model focusing on what matters in the classroom. Encouraging #choosekind, critical thinking, and collaboration are critical to preparing Ss for their future. #satchat#TCT18
A3: Having my own kids go through the system helped me see a different side. I really try to focus on root causes, not surface level issues...and I give the kid a pencil. If I go to the bank and need a pen, the teller hands me one. #satchat
A2: With Ts I try to demonstrate what a tool/app will do. Then give them time to figure out how they can use it in their own classroom. They share what they created with their PLC. #satchat
A2: You have to know your Ss & their interests, passions, areas they’re curious about. This year, our GRT @khoggardGRT created lessons using breakout Edu & the Ss absolutely loved it! We had Ts create museum exhibits, water conservation posters, PBL can be amazing! #satchat

A3: I think of my room as a little sanctuary before school. They talk with me, read on the couch, help with set up, draw, visit with each other. It sets the tone for a great day & school year. It's a relationship building time for me. #satchat
I have been fortunate as I have always had a bathroom in the classroom ... tell ids day one ... I don't need to know your bathroom habits ... just do not disturb the class ... have zero problems ... some teachers make kids ask permission/add name to list ... sigh #satchat
A3. Students owe fees for printing & fines for overdue books. But helping a friend or cleaning up earns students fine removals. Value consideration of others. #satchat
Regardless of whether we are taking about students or staff, the answer remains the same: provide choice! People, by nature, whether children or adults, buy into the learning process when they are invested in it. We can't force the process. Choice=interest=learning. #satchat

#satchat A3 Keep the main thing, the main thing! Learning is the objective. Cease forcing compliance of silly rules that steal your attention and distract students.
A2: Use technology and digital resources to get outside and away from screens. Technology is an incredible enabler of opportunity and imagination. However, we need to be disciplined to step away from the devices and experience the world around us. #satchat
By this point in the year Ss know to help themselves to WHATEVER they need - Let kids be kids, let them know that you are there to support them HOWEVER they need support in order for them to feel the accomplishment of learning something new #satchat
A3: Daily To Do List:
1. Value people
2. Think of ways to add value to people
3. Look for ways to add value to people
4. Do things to add value to people
5. Encourage people to add value #SatChat
A3: Two great questions to ask everyday: How can I show love to everyone I meet today? How can I add value to the lives of everyone I come in contact with today? #satchat
A3 I see this so often in classes. Ts actually get Ss off task fussing over something trivial! We need to 🛑 and decide is this the hill I want to die upon. Is this engagement worth getting everyone in my class off task and possibly destroying my relationship w this Ss #satchat
A3: I consistantly ask what is being learned from the current action (backpacks, cell phones, tardies, dress code, etc.) and if it is valuable to the "bigher picture" (learing to be successful). If it isn't I work to get rid of it or stop giving it attention. #satchat
A3: We need to remember that we were born with two ears and one mouth. Listening is the foundation of learning. We oftentimes forget that. The good news is that we don't have to wait for a new update to get back on board #satchat#TCT18
A3: This question really has me thinking. Sounds to me like we need to de-emphasize standardized testing and embrace learning for the joy of learning #satchat#coffeeEduNJ
A2: S driven or explorations that stem from Ss questions create an authentic, thus engaging learning experience! Make time for #geniushour or have a “wonder wall” to encourage inquiry and then allow those authentic explorations/learning to happen as much as possible. #satchat
Hey #satchat friends- join us for #HackingLeadership at 8:30amEST! It will be the best 30 minutes of your weekend as we discuss recruiting & retaining SUPERSTAR TALENT in our schools! Check out the questions...
A3: I really try to release my need to be in control at all times! I focus on my Ss, embrace opportunities, let them take the lead, & practice flexibility!! Stressing over the details steals the JOY in the classroom! #satchat
A3: Starting in the beginning of the year, ask them what they want the class to look,sound, and feel like. Create a vision from there to begin building a student led culture. Also, create SOP's (procedures) with them, so they are part of the "rule" creating. #satchat
My S’s decided our make up snow days over spring break should be spent camping indoors so we did it, great communicate to collaborate lesson was learned while we built our reading tent. #SatChat
#satchat A3 I have Ts in my bldgs that step back & allow Ss to run the show. T presents the topic. Ss decide what is important and how they will figure it out and show what they have learned. Anyone ever use SOLE strategy?
A3: It all starts with how we greet Ss in the morning. Our attitude helps to shape theirs for the day. A simple hello or high five has the power to change. #satchat

How do you help create amazing learning adventures for students and/or staff?#satchat@NowakRo#TCT18#coffeeEDUNJ#RoyalWedding2018
A3 I think step 1 is realizing that it isn’t about you. Whether it is a child or adult learner you are ultimately there for them; therefore, you have to learn to live in the present. Find what sparks their curiosity and keep on moving forward. #satchat
Mine starts next year. I'm sure it will change much of how I look at things. Looking forward to all it brings and how it helps me learn and grow as a father and as an educator. #satchat
I have loved using @SeeSaw and @Fligrid! It gives students a place to reflect and share their learning. They both give students an authentic audience, and a voice! #satchat
A3. We need to keep the understanding that each learner is different and they need different things at different times. As Ts we need to respect and honour this by being responsive as we meet our Ss where they are at. #satchat#TCT18
Almost all HS kids have phones/iPad/Chromebook. Post a QR code that links to GForm. Only need Ss to enter name b/c it timestamps for you. 1 Form for check-out, 1 for check-in. Advanced: Use formulas & VLookup in order to auto-track # of times Ss leave & for how long #satchat
A3: Look. . .having a student serve after school time for "materials infractions" without looking deeper into the issue at hand is to not recognize issues of access or ability to organize. No materials is a teachable moment, not a punitive one. Have tools on site. Offer. #satchat
#satchat A3 I have Ts in my bldgs that step back & allow Ss to run the show. T presents the topic. Ss decide what is important and how they will figure it out and show what they have learned. Anyone ever use SOLE strategy?
A3. Preach relationships! I tell our folks EVERY single success (big&small) will have a positive relationship attached to it. EVERY single struggle or failure will also have an underdeveloped relationship attached to it. Also ask, is this worth falling on the sword for? #satchat
A3 For me this is an easy one, relationships first. I want to get to know my Ss and hear about who they are and what their aspirations are. I want to find out what they are good at so that they can see it too!! #satchat
#satchat A3 I truly believe we have to relinquish control. Not boundaries, not rules, but control over how/what Ss learn. Begin with an essential Q and let students dig in!
A4: Worked with this crew to make an eco-awareness AR scavenger hunt using @hpreveal. They picked it up fast and had a blast. Any T could bring AR apps like this into the classroom. #satchat
A4: Honestly don't know much about this but my middle school students love video games so may be super engaging for them. Looking forward to everyone's response! #Satchat
I have the pieces ... just reclassifying them and making them follow a theme ... imagine using a character sheet as a means to get to know your students instead of questions ... get them thinking about themselves as they prepare to engage in learning #satchat
A4: #ARVRinEDU / #XR is on the verge of really breaking into EDU. At this point I think we are still in a stage where we need to bring students into the process and provide experiences and have them consider effective EDU applications #satchat
Great quote and question! Love the phrase adventure, reminds me of a game or a quest! let's turn learning into an adventure by designing quests and writing those narratives for our students to be immersed in. Who knows where the learning will take them? #SatChat

How do you help create amazing learning adventures for students and/or staff?#satchat@NowakRo#TCT18#coffeeEDUNJ#RoyalWedding2018
A3a: One example. Students owe detention...let them stay after for academic tutoring/help and count towards the obligation. Odds are the behavior is based on the need for academic help. Focus on more than right or wrong. Focus on progress. #satchat
A3 Choose your battles. Getting into power struggles over small things makes the environment toxic. You gotta have peace in your classroom. No need to stress over pencils. Besides, buy some golf pencils (no erasers) and they’ll learn eventually #satchat
A4: I haven't used them much, but as long as they are used to add more depth to your learning, I love the idea! ie.When S's in rural areas don't get to travel much, this is one way that I think you could create amazing experiences for S's to help w/real world skills. #satchat
A3 Ask yourself: What's the worst that could happen? If it isn't that bad, it isn't that major. Perhaps the small things matter most. Keep an eye out for them. They're easy to miss. #satchat
A3: I give Ss “tools” so that we can do the learning. I have a closet full of pencils, folders, glue sticks, scissors, etc. that I distribute as needed. I focus on what’s going to make them better Ss & human beings. It it’s not going to make them better, why do it? #satchat
A3: Daily To Do List:
1. Value people
2. Think of ways to add value to people
3. Look for ways to add value to people
4. Do things to add value to people
5. Encourage people to add value #SatChat
A4: I sat in on a presentation by a senior who used Mixed Reality to create art. She said that it was really helpful because it's in 3D, like our world. Personally, I'd love to learn more. Also, I have never experienced it myself, so that's a must. #satchat

#satchat I agree - I'm not sure VR is ready for elementary (too expensive), but I'm going to have the children try to make 360 videos at tech camp this summer.
Trying to break down long-standing silos of Ts. How can you teach & live in a Silo? We need Ts to see each other teach, share successes & failures, and most importantly work together to build a better experience for our kids. #satchat
A3: Here's one (and take me to task on it). No book? Go to the office. What are we teaching this student in this moment and how are we doing when a number of adults cannot name a book on Jimmy Kimmel Live?
If only they had one with them, they could love at the cover. #satchat
A3. I have Ss who call me “school mom” b/c that’s what they need from me. My job is to help them grow intrapersonally & academically into the best they can be & I often need to remind myself of that. My job is to be what they need for them to be successful. #satchat
A4: Music appreciation is a nice place to start @mr_isaacs. Use V/R to put us back into Radio City Music Hall circa 1980 - with Jerry acoustic and electric variations. #satchat#coffeeedunj There is only so much we can share via bootlegs and YouTube. More immersive experience!
In this scenario I will play the role of Dungeon Master ... I send them on the adventure ... traveling through historical US ... as they conquer (complete activities) they will be given Experience Points ... Gain new skills #satchat
A3: I keep thinking about completing assignments “on time.” If a S asks for more time, he must want to make it better. Turn in low-quality work now or a more complete assignment later? It’s clear which is better for learning. #satchat
#XR is a great way to bring students into the learning and creation of lessons. Once we overcome the intial costs, they are also an affordable way to bring students into immersive field trips without leaving the classroom. #SatChat
A3 we turned learning into a fun desired activity, removed the drudgery like reading log sheets, behavior plans w/ negative actions/wording, let S’s decide when they wanted to try the next level in reading, coaches them if they weren’t, S chosen projects too #satchat
We have more important issues (powerful learning) than making sure students comply to adults "because I said so" rather than building intrinsic motivation through explanations and relationships. #satchat
A4 we used #XR in our #sciencepalooza stations this week and Ss were able to explore the solar system with the merge cube and VR goggles, we also had a specific Ss working to earn VR time as a behavior goal #satchat
A4: My thoughts are, "Oh no! I'm getting old!" Seriously though I still love to learn and am willing to try anything that helps instill a love of learning in my students. So I'll need help with this one! #satchat
I love it. Brings back a lot of memories from MS playing with a few of my friends. I think it sounds like a fantastic idea and can’t wait to here how it turns out! #satchat
In this scenario I will play the role of Dungeon Master ... I send them on the adventure ... traveling through historical US ... as they conquer (complete activities) they will be given Experience Points ... Gain new skills #satchat
Never let your students guess how you feel about them; every student should know that they are special and important in your classroom. https://t.co/r8kok55aXi
A4: Our Ss LOVE it! Our ITS brought it to school for 5th grade lessons & allowed all Ss to “experience” the solar system- there was a LINE within 2 mins. Then, we had Ss working towards earning time to be “part of” the ocean. #XR allows Ss to expand their experience #satchat
A3: Remember your purpose! The kids! Keep the big picture in mind and the best learning will occur! Ss will fall in love with learning when they feel respected/cared for, that their thinking matters/is supported, and when they are given a voice and choice to explore! #satchat
#satchat A3 Another ex: Ss learning about habitats. Ss create projects and share. WHILE they share teach them how to do it better! Not teaching the tech tool- teaching the strategy. If they need help with the tool they'll ask!
It was easier than I thought. The app is free to download on your phone/tablet and you build the experiences online. We took a clipart graphic & matched it with a video the kids shot in the hallways. Then printed flyers and hung them around the school. #satchat
A4. I feel that it could be used as a great tool to provide experiential learning opportunities to our Ss in a safe and fiscally responsible way. #satchat
A4: We did an art gallery with AR built in. Ss recorded the story of their artist (recreated masterpieces) & their process for creating the art. Used art as trigger for Aurasma - now @hpreveal so anyone could hear their story at anytime. #satchat
A4 I have used several YouTube 360 videos this year in US History and the kids generally liked them ... My Brothers Keeper about the Civil War was really good and it got the kids thinking. The video put them into the action ... first person #satchat
A4 My thoughts are: potential. Hard to ignore the engagement factor & even the novelty factor. I think we're only just beginning to see it make a splash. I believe it is here to stay. Changing the way we experience things and interact through immersive tech. #satchat
A4 we used #XR in our #sciencepalooza stations this week and Ss were able to explore the solar system with the merge cube and VR goggles, we also had a specific Ss working to earn VR time as a behavior goal #satchat
Gotta bounce early #satchat. Bounce house setup needed for the kids bday party here today. Enjoy the rest of the convo & #TCT18. Thanks for all the ideas folks. @spirrison@JenWilliamsEdu
Just holler if you have Qs. Our comp sci T used it to check in Ss for musical rehearsal b/c they were in 3 diff locations (band, choir, stage). Ss could check-in in any location & all 3 Ts could see who was missing instantly. #satchat
A4: I think there are lots of powerful ways to integrate #VirtualReality into instruction! Here's a reading activity inspired by a visit to a North Carolina school: https://t.co/bs4BLKGg6k#satchat
Ugh. You'd think we'd be covering this in pre-service training, but, more than this, it should be intrinsically-motivated. Actively-reading teachers find themselves within a reading community (to include their students). Oh, BTW, I'm reading CREATIVE QUEST by @questlove#SatChat
Fingers crossed ... kids like doing stuff that is different ... they go through the school day doing basically doing the same mundane thing every class period ... come in ... sit down ... listen ... answer questions ... turn in assignment ... BORING #satchat
A4 I think once the price on the hardware comes down there will be some amazing things going on in schools. Right now there are many “job training “ apps available for the workplace #SatChat#TCT18#coffeeEduNJ
A5: We can ask Ss what they want to change in the world and how they can use tech to do that, also what does it mean to be responsible and how can we show that on intrapersonally both physically and online #satchat#TCT18
A4: Nothing can replace real-world experiences. For Ss who don’t have many opportunities for this, XR allows them to make virtual connections to their learning. XR can also increase motivation and active engagement in learning. #satchat
Absolutely, I just think too many Ts and Admins worry about, "do they like me?" or worse, "I have to put on this show" This can create anxiety. Just be you, but create experiences so they say, "I remember in ___ grade we did ____." #satchat
A5: Partnering with Aurora Mental Health on HEARTS Program which aims to create trauma-informed
schools through comprehensive support of teachers, administrators, school staff, parents, and students. https://t.co/Pzo3A9LWCl#satchat
A5, I am not 100% sure how to answer this but I teach human behaviour so we are always talking about the fact that we do not know everything that ppl have been through and that we need to stop before we judge. #satchat
A5: Our Mercer County Superintendents have a Call to Action addressing Teen Mental Health and Suicide to assist our school communities on these issues. #satchat
This #satchat was everything for me. Thank you to all of the fantabulous educators who took part today. I'm both inspired by you and directed on what to learn next. Thank you!
#Amen This year has been an amazing year for me in the classroom and I am highly motivated now to really transform my teaching into something really special for these kids. #satchat
ABSOLUTELY. In the same stack of books that includes 180 DAYS and IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BOOKS is a history of Fluxus title, Questlove's CREATIVE QUEST, new poetry collections, and ARCs of MG and YA. In the interview, you need ONE title. In teaching, you'll need an armload. #satchat
A4: I’ve never used them, but my colleagues have. I think the change of culture in our digital world opens the door for adding these experiences into our classrooms, but I do think there needs to be a balance to maintain classroom authenticity. #satchat
A5 - setting up support systems that everyone understands and can utilize - debriefing with all involved parties after a trauma occurs so that we can move forward positively #satchat
A5: Working 2 implement a schoolwide SEL program to proactively assist our SST & bridge programs for those Ss in need. We hold some informational events & awareness weeks 2 inform others that because a struggle is invisible on the outside doesn't mean it doesn't exist. #satchat
A5: As schools and districts we must:
Understand trauma’s impact on student learning, performance, and behavior...
Learn about vicarious trauma/compassion fatigue and its impact on staff and community. #satchat
YA is a great way to connect with Ss. I also like to experience the challenge of delving into stories that address issues facing adults trying to make sense of the world. #satchat
A5 our classroom is called our living room, S’s see right on the wall they MATTER, we treat them like human beings & they are allowed to have good days and bad days, we do social inventory surveys 3x’s a year, we Zoom sick S’s in during read aloud time #satchat
RT ClassTechTips: A4: I think there are lots of powerful ways to integrate #VirtualReality into instruction! Here's a reading activity inspired by a visit to a North Carolina school: https://t.co/lUzh48XsEV#satchat
A5:IMO awareness and education is a big first step. We’re starting the convo with our staff and stressing the importance of considering this aspect when facilitating learning for our students. IMO it all starts with the 3Rs: Relationships, Relationships and Relationships.#satchat
A5. Ss come through our doors each day with a variety of prior experiences, both good and bad. One way to help support students is to keep your voice low and slow and always stay in a positive, trusting relationship, even if students are doing their best to resist it. #satchat
A5: I've been doing book groups and trying to spread the word about educating students living in poverty and how the trauma they encounter is often seen in the classroom. I email out free PD and webinars, welcome others to observe my practices and continue reading! #satchat
Good morning. #SatChat. Hope we have a spam free day. Not sure why @Twitter allows a chat of educational leaders to be filled with porn and offers to buy followers. Been complaining for years.
Its not like the chat time or hashtag are unpredicatble.
A5: RELATIONSHIPS! Ss will open up & share with people they trust. We have to advocate for our Ss. My work BFF @khoggardGRT & I are constantly speaking up on their behalves- our Ss are also always looking for us! Fighting for what’s right is not easy- it’s necessary! #satchat

America is blessed with extraordinary energy abundance, including more than 250 years worth of beautiful clean coal. We have ended the war on coal, and will continue to work to promote American energy dominance!
At the elementary level, we run a morning meeting and allowed students to express and talk about their feelings, concerns, and fears. Often, I would have students sitting in the hallway before class started, crying. Simply inviting them in early to chat #coffeeeduNJ#satchat

A6: The first step of an# EdTechReboot is to unplug, reflect and revive. Thereafter, I like to seek out my communities of practice to share ideas, resources and insights I may apply in the upcoming year. #satchat@ClassTechTips#TCT18#coffeeedunj
We do all of this! We ring a breathing bell if things get too loud or crazy and everyone stops and deep breaths. It’s the best way to gain their attention while restoring calm. #satchat and I use it during scoot activities
Love the idea of keeping our absent students part of the learning. It sends a very strong message that we care about you and you are missed. #satchat#sgdsblearns

A6: I can have teachers show me what they currently use, learn it, share what I use, listen to students about what works for them, and model possible ways to make a larger impact w/students through communication amd engagement. #satchat
