    Mine in 2016 was perservance, and 2017 was joy. #onword #LaEdChat
    In reply to @Drtamssen
  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:23 PM EST
    Definitely agree with you on this. What you accomplish for your district is because of your persistence. #oneword2018 #LaEdChat

    Q5: What are your thoughts on process vs product goals? HT: @spencerideas ‘s post https://t.co/hHb9yl5XV0 #LaEdChat
  • Drtamssen Jan 2 @ 8:28 PM EST
    A5: Very interesting graphic... I like the contrast of a process vs. a product. I think we get bogged down in product too often. I love the idea of process being long-term! #LaEdChat
    In reply to @plnaugle, @spencerideas
  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:28 PM EST
    A5: I like that with a process goal it’s about the journey, not the destination. If the journey is enjoyable and worthwhile could see myself sticking to the goal longer. #LaEdChat
  • MsBisOnline Jan 2 @ 8:29 PM EST
    A3: #LaEdChat Want them to create #oneword2018 SMART goals can (hopefully) be developed using their #oneword

  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:31 PM EST
    Q6: Which do your Ss need to work on the most - academic goals, social skills, or behavioral goals in 2018? How can you encourage them to do so? #LaEdChat
  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:32 PM EST
    Hope you’re finding some great bargains. Ready to return tomorrow? #LaEdChat
    In reply to @MsBisOnline
  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:34 PM EST

    I have a special one just for you and people in similar jobs as yours - What tech goal would you like to see more Ts in your district achieve? #LaEdChat
    In reply to @Drtamssen
  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:37 PM EST
    Q7: What is one goal would you like to accomplish during the second half of the school year? #LaEdChat
  • MsBisOnline Jan 2 @ 8:37 PM EST
    A6: I teach 9th graders so it's essential that we have long goal conversations. They have to formulate a plan for the future. Interest surveys, vision boards, career research, etc #LaEdChat
    In reply to @plnaugle
  • MsBisOnline Jan 2 @ 8:39 PM EST
    #LaEdChat Thanks. Not ready for Level 2 yet.
    In reply to @plnaugle, @Drtamssen
  • Drtamssen Jan 2 @ 8:39 PM EST
    #LaEdChat Great question! I would like to see teachers challenge themselves with something new and innovative that supports their curriculum. That would be my goal... How can I use technology in one way that would support student learning and achievement?
    In reply to @plnaugle
  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:40 PM EST
    A7: I would like to finish my social studies curriculum map that I have been working on this year and have it tweaked and ready for next school year. #LaEdChat

    I have a few things to review, but I am going to try it. We have 3 that have already passed in WBR!! I'm excited! #LaEdChat
    In reply to @MsBisOnline, @plnaugle
  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:40 PM EST
    Q8: What is one goal you’d like to see all of your Ss accomplish during the second half of this school year? #LaEdChat

  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:45 PM EST
    A8: I established the 40 Book Challenge at the beginning of the school year with my Ss. Will revisit and see where they are. Set 20 Book Challenge for second semester. #LaEdChat
  • CoreyAppelbaum Jan 2 @ 8:45 PM EST
    A7) I want to bring the industry leading Learning Object Repository #LOR to schools and districts in the state of #Lousiana #LaEdChat
  • Drtamssen Jan 2 @ 8:45 PM EST
    I like this one! Great idea! #LaEdChat

    In reply to @CoreyAppelbaum, @StPeteFL
  • CoreyAppelbaum Jan 2 @ 8:48 PM EST
    This is great, have you thought about giving them the ability to upload and curate content to add to a playlist to be "turned in"? #LaEdChat
  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:49 PM EST
    A8: Our 40 book challenge was inspired by @donalynbooks - no grades, reports, prizes - just for the joy of reading The 40 Book Challenge Revisited | Donalyn Miller https://t.co/cVbsEqy5WY #LaEdChat

    Q9: Would you rather lose weight or read more books in 2018? Why? #LaEdChat
  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:52 PM EST
    Yes I have. Most will be added to @Seesaw. I have a folder in GDrive to collect their GSuite creations. #LaEdChat
    In reply to @CoreyAppelbaum, @Seesaw
  • CoreyAppelbaum Jan 2 @ 8:52 PM EST
    Have already started with one #LaEdChat

    Even I'm trying to lose weight the great food in my territory #Alabama #Louisiana will not be helping #LaEdChat

  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:53 PM EST
    This is “awesome” thanks for sharing. Good luck at @TCEA. #LaEdChat
    • Drtamssen Jan 2 @ 8:44 PM EST
      Great goal! I am working on a presentation for @TCEA on Tech and Social Studies. Here is a link to one I did for LCSS... https://t.co/T5nRwlAlxa
      In reply to @plnaugle, @TCEA
  • Drtamssen Jan 2 @ 8:54 PM EST
    Q9: Funny questions, Paula! What about reading weight loss books? He-He! I would say read more books. Books can just transform you which in turn helps you to make changes for others. Plus, reading books is a lot more fun! #LaEdChat
    In reply to @plnaugle
  • CoreyAppelbaum Jan 2 @ 8:54 PM EST
    Very cool, and @SAFARIMontage is fully integrated with Google and Google Drive as well so those resources would be available to S's inside the platform along with vetted #digitalcontent #LaEdChat as another alternative

    Not loving this cold snap. I grew up in the Northeast but hate cold, bone-chilling weather. But I’m nice and bundled up to stay toasty. LOL #LaEdChat
    In reply to @CoreyAppelbaum, @StPeteFL
  • NikiOhsBarnes Jan 2 @ 8:56 PM EST
    Both at the same time! I often work out to a video- turn the volume down- and listen to an audio book while I'm working out! #LaEdChat
    In reply to @plnaugle
  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 8:58 PM EST
    Q10: Who will be making a 2018 goal to attend #LaEdChat as often as possible?
  • plnaugle Jan 2 @ 9:00 PM EST
    I hear ya’. Southern food is so delicious and there is always a reason to be eating - tailgating, Mardi Gras, crawfish boils, and so on and so on. #LaEdChat
