  • MRT_Tweet5 Mar 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT
    A3: uff da. I’d say I’m a solid 6-7. Try to do a good job of keeping the basics on the phone but it definitely can become addictive #gfedchat
  • buchhop25 Mar 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

  • geoffgaukler Mar 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT
    A3: I'll go with a 6 or 7 It should be easier to put the darn thing down, but it makes it too easy to fire off a quick reply to a text or email or look up an answer to a question #gfedchat

  • SouthMSLib Mar 12 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A3: 6? Sometimes I keep it out at work because I'll receive texts from coworkers but don't use it. I never use it when out with people. I'm bad at home though! I use my phone for everything-I like it better than my ipad or computer! #gfedchat

  • n8olson31 Mar 12 @ 9:46 PM EDT
    A3: I would say a 6. I definitely am aware of our family's use. I also know that I am happier, more engaged and less anxious the less I use it. It is important to be conscious of one's use and intentional about avoiding it. #gfedchat

    A3: phone is slow tonight sorry, probably a 7, better some days than others #gfedchat
  • clandsdown Mar 12 @ 9:50 PM EDT
    A4: Use this in therapy - first establish a predictable routine, but then vary the reward, the amount of responses or activities before a "choice" activity. Allow varied choices to keep it motivating. #gfedchat
  • MrsSlominski2 Mar 12 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    A3: about a 5 #gfedchat

  • MsBecksClass Mar 12 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3: when I’m at a work it’s a 7, constantly communicating with parents, keeping track of medical records and seizures, etc. At home, I would say a 1, phone is usually off and I don’t do social media. #gfedchat
  • JessieRErickson Mar 12 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3: I am pretty hooked - use it at work to connect with colleagues, keep track of my family with it on a personal level. #gfedchat
  • AndeeThompson1 Mar 12 @ 9:52 PM EDT
    A3: I would say I'm a 5 or 6. I do check and use my phone but have times its off limits. I want to be engaged with my children. I want them to remember a mom who made memories with them and not remember a mom who had her face in her phone. #gfedchat

    A4: Definitely need to be better with offering up rewards for my students. Try to do and end of the week reward...up for ideas #gfedchat
  • Grade2Connect Mar 12 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A4: Seesaw gives the rewards of the tribe because Ss and Ps can comment and like posts. We even do a lesson on appropriate comments. #gfedchat
  • zygwriter Mar 12 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A4: If they give me some solid work time, Ss can have some down time to use phone; #gfedchat
  • smsroom604 Mar 12 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    I find that allowing students to use their phones after they've stretched their brains seems to be motivational. #gfedchat
  • kmuus12 Mar 12 @ 9:53 PM EDT
    A4 If kids complete a math assignment from our lesson early, they can work on Prodigy on their chromebooks. As long as I check it when they are done! #gfedchat
  • joelschleicher - Moderator Mar 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A4: A great point was made in the video; “technology can be used for good, so let’s boost user engagement to fix problems.” We should be providing the same rewarding opportunities for our students (i.e. Right Answers) via @plugusin #gfedchat
  • n8olson31 Mar 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A4: I use it for issuing our Royal Pride Cards at Valley. Sometimes I might issue one for helping a kid pick up books he dropped or it might be for getting a hard earned C on a quiz. You just never know! #PBS #gfedchat
  • MsBecksClass Mar 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A4: we tend to lean towards the “work, work, break” method in my classroom. However break items still incorporate students using fine or gross motor skills as well as learning cause and effect. #gfedchat
  • SouthMSLib Mar 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A4: I think there's lots of opportunities for Ss to earn "free time", choice activities, parties, etc. Whether it be at the end of the period, day, week, or earned over time Ss will will make the effort. #gfedchat
  • shanna_trosen Mar 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT
    A4: We have a "first things first" policy for many times of the day. If work is complete, they can participate in random class games, free time, etc. #gfedchat

    A4: Use variable rewards with sp/lg Ss: some need rewards after each activity, or attempt, or stretch it out to once each session #gfedchat
  • NLeeGFC Mar 12 @ 9:55 PM EDT
    A1: Nicki, English teacher GFC. I wish I had even a guess. I know nothing about basketball #gfedchat
  • JessieRErickson Mar 12 @ 9:56 PM EDT
    A4: Positive reinforcement can come in many forms. I think that giving a reward from time to time is good practice, as long as the Ss don't start to depend on them to do every requested task. #gfedchat

    True - a positive relationship will be the best for Ss to produce good work. Reinforcements are one piece of building up to that. #gfedchat
    • JessieRErickson Mar 12 @ 9:56 PM EDT
      A4: Positive reinforcement can come in many forms. I think that giving a reward from time to time is good practice, as long as the Ss don't start to depend on them to do every requested task. #gfedchat

    A5: I don't think I am emotionally attached. It is easy for me to leave it all behind when I travel, am working on a project at home/school, or am around people. I think it is handy but it is not a requirement for happiness. It doesn't replace face to face contact #gfedchat

    A6: More comfortable face-to-face. I think with technology it is easy to take things "the wrong way" and it is more difficult to explain your line of thinking. Face to face offers the opportunity to explain yourself and to also read your audience. #gfedchat
  • KaileyRestad Mar 12 @ 10:10 PM EDT

    A6: Working with students when they have conflict with their friends, it's alarming how many of their "conversations" they reference are only via text / snapchat. So much goes misunderstood b/c of lack of body language & ability to hear tone #gfedchat
  • kcebula Mar 12 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A5: depends on the purpose - a quick note to parents I will use technology, for a hard conversation I would definitely need person to person, I will say I love texting cuz I have more time to think about what and how I want to say something #gfedchat
  • PageKristy Mar 12 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    A6: Face to face. Sometimes communicating through technology is misinterpreted, so I like face to face to hear intonation and read facial expressions #gfedchat
  • JessieRErickson Mar 12 @ 10:13 PM EDT
    Agree! Rlationships rely on facial expressions and contact. I do like the doors that technology opens for us in our schools and classrooms. Parents can't be there in person but can check in virtually. Another great way to build a relationship. #gfedchat

    A8: We have "no-phone zones" such as at the diner table, their bedroom, or the bathrooms. Our children are limited in their screen time and are only allowed to have their device when they are in view of a parent or other adult in charge. We need better mom/dad rules! #gfedchat

    #gfedchat Q8 After watching the 2 mn video, do you agree or disagree? https://t.co/CkILclc9Q2
  • MrsSlominski2 Mar 12 @ 10:24 PM EDT
    A8: I don’t personally know many Gen Zers so I can’t say I have any knowledge of this #gfedchat
  • kcarney1967 Mar 12 @ 10:24 PM EDT
    A8: Traditional media that we grew up with yeah that makes sense. But their still hooked in it's just not run by a network or filtered by an editorial board. It's direct from the source to the public who follows them....#gfedchat
  • JenNeil12 Mar 12 @ 10:25 PM EDT
    Same here, but a different charging station. #gfedchat
    • AndeeThompson1 Mar 12 @ 10:19 PM EDT
      A7: No phones at the dinner table any my children don't have them in their bedrooms at night...charging them happens in Mama's room! #gfedchat
  • SouthMSLib Mar 12 @ 10:25 PM EDT
    A7: Phone is put away at social events! #gfedchat
  • bryanwalls2 Mar 12 @ 10:25 PM EDT
    A8: I know some that have gone back to flip phones. #gfedchat
  • KatieLChandler Mar 12 @ 10:25 PM EDT
    A8: I agree Gen Zers are on Facebook Twitter less, but see them texting & Snapchatting as their main ways to communicate. I do see social media adding to a lot of anxiety & instant gratification to our teens. #gfedchat
  • whitneyjo07 Mar 12 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    A8: my mom teaches high school and a lot of those kids only have snapchat. No other social media. So yes i agree! #gfedchat
  • mgaukler Mar 12 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    Q9 #gfedchat One final throught...
  • buchhop25 Mar 12 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    A8: I guess I don't know many that fall in that category but I would agree with the video that there are days when I step back because there is too much negativity. #gfedchat
  • clandsdown Mar 12 @ 10:26 PM EDT
    A8: My kid is in that group - she has been off social media for a long time - "too much drama". #gfedchat
  • joelschleicher - Moderator Mar 12 @ 10:27 PM EDT
    A8: Should be obvious why gen zers are fleeing Facebook... because their parents and grandparents have moved into that SM space. #gfedchat
  • counselingbos Mar 12 @ 10:27 PM EDT
    a8: it depends on how it's used. if it's used to share memories and moments with friends and family its a good use. but if its being used for comparison, judgments, and belittling others...then Im so glad they are seeing it's not worth their sanity. #gfedchat
  • NLeeGFC Mar 12 @ 10:27 PM EDT
    A8: Not sure, but I see kids constantly snap chatting or whatever the term is #gfedchat
  • MsBlakeman Mar 12 @ 10:27 PM EDT
    A8: I agree. Facebook drives me nuts at times b/c of the negativity. Also, there is a lot of junk on it (share if you agree...). I find that the less I check it, the happier I am. #gfedchat
  • PageKristy Mar 12 @ 10:27 PM EDT
    A8: Yes, for GenZers social media was new and trendy, but didnt grow up with it, so I would believe this and also see it in my two boys who are GenZers. Oh and FB is for Parents :) #gfedchat
  • kcebula Mar 12 @ 10:28 PM EDT
    A8: I think it's true even with my age group #gfedchat
  • MRT_Tweet5 Mar 12 @ 10:28 PM EDT
    A8: Yes, I would agree. Maybe it has something to do with parents, grandparents, teachers etc. on social media. #gfedchat
  • JenNeil12 Mar 12 @ 10:28 PM EDT
    A8: I love that my niece is so outdoorsy (born in '95), climbing, hiking, surfing, disconnecting from tech and connecting with nature. #gfedchat
  • SWallsRRHS Mar 12 @ 10:28 PM EDT
    A8: they use fewer social media apps but lots of game playing #gfedchat
  • MsBlakeman Mar 12 @ 10:28 PM EDT
    A9: I connect with this because I do rely on my phone (notes, calendar, email, reminders) to help me remember things/moments/numbers/appointments. #gfedchat
  • buchhop25 Mar 12 @ 10:28 PM EDT
    A9: Agree, growing up I knew everyone's phone number off the top of my head, now I know no one's because I just look in my phone #gfedchat
  • n8olson31 Mar 12 @ 10:28 PM EDT
    A8: I wouldn't be surprised if this was true. I also see the younger generation hopping from platform to platform as they become inundated with older generations- I think SM has become the arena for political issues as well which is uncomfortable for many. #gfedchat

    A8: I know a lot aren't using Facebook, but they are using Instagram and Snapchat! #gfedchat
  • rcorbin040 Mar 12 @ 10:29 PM EDT
    Me too. Sad that I can still remember my landline, but not my mom's cell number #gfedchat
    In reply to @n8olson31
  • NLeeGFC Mar 12 @ 10:29 PM EDT
    A9: Well, I think we fail to be present in many experiences today because we are too busy recording and taking pictures of it. #gfedchat
  • JeremyCebula Mar 12 @ 10:29 PM EDT
    A8: Snapchatting is still super important in MS. Some have the urge to check all the time. #gfedchat
  • clandsdown Mar 12 @ 10:29 PM EDT
    A9: Oh boy - this is a good one. After 20+ years of doing SLP wrk in schools and rehab, I do see a change in executive function skills with changes in how much tech we are exposed to. Good, bad - matter of opinion. Just know its different. #gfedchat
  • kcarney1967 Mar 12 @ 10:29 PM EDT
    A9: true story happened today. A junior filling out his ACT personal info data sheet couldn't remember his own phone number....his phone was dead and he couldn't look at it. Those sitting around him didn't remember their entire phone numbers either......#gfedchat
  • geoffgaukler Mar 12 @ 10:29 PM EDT
    A8: I see kids using Facebook / Twitter less, but with no shortage on their phones / other apps #gfedchat
  • shanna_trosen Mar 12 @ 10:29 PM EDT
    A8: I wondered if we'd eventually learn from our mistakes. Kind of like with smoking...we didn't know the risks back when & now we do. #gfedchat
