MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1: We meet weekly to discuss the current plan and to expand implementation. #ATchat

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:07 PM EDT

AT Facilitator and special education coach from Nashville, TN. #ATchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1. We need Something better than "team comes to me to explain what we are doing & suggest what to do next" - hoping for insights! #atchat

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: implementation is tough because I rely on busy case managers to make it happen #atchat

JimSarto Apr 6 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@mmatp #atchat Retired public school admin. I do PD Keynote and presentations on digital literacy and SEL. Also a Private HS Principal.

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: I am rarely at any IEP team meeting. Meet with teachers and service providers as needed. Not formalized- does not work well #ATchat

NoreenRyan13 Apr 6 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: this is still a work in progress for my district. #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:10 PM EDT

This is the old expert model. All team members are responsible for the solution. #Atchat https://t.co/7YvLVw2VyB

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1. We need Something better than "team comes to me to explain what we are doing & suggest what to do next" - hoping for insights! #atchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:10 PM EDT

#atchat A1: Is this done 1 student at a time? How do schools develop efficiencies?

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: dist. just purchased RW4GC & S&RU for all students - but overwhelming to implement on my own! #atchat #mfedchat

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1 I introduced some basic intake forms- who is responsible for what kind of thing. Helps a little, but needs more #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@JimSarto Very nice! Looking forward to connecting F2F at a NJ event. We have @spedcampNJ coming up on 4/16 #atchat

wernedat Apr 6 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: def. an area we need to improve on. Rely on school team and they are so busy #ATchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@mmatp Worse than the expert model, b/c they're expecting me to be expert on Ss I only know from passing in the halls. #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Q2: Describe how AT is integrated into ALL environs to ensure S access to & mastery of curric #atchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@WISCOMACO #atchat What admin support do you have?

JimSarto Apr 6 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@mmatp @spedcampNJ #atchat Looking forward to it!

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@mmatp A2: Slowly, working towards a better UDL model. Still have our kids/your kids models in place #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Info for Q2: AT may facilitate active participation in ed activities, assessments, extracurricular activities, and typical routines. #ATchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@WISCOMACO #atchat What are your district Initiatives?

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: usually assign the device to the S so that it follows him everywhere or make sure it's in the classroom #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Even though we are all busy-we need to do this right from the start so we don't waste time! #ATchat https://t.co/E4tljmnEd7

wernedat Apr 6 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: def. an area we need to improve on. Rely on school team and they are so busy #ATchat

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: Success integrating AT is dependent on staff buy-in. Highly variable. #ATchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2. I'm a classroom T, so I integrate AAC/AT into every lesson all day. #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@gallianstone Unfortunate. Setting you up for failure & more importantly not meeting the needs of Ss #Atchat

krista_bolen Apr 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Q2: in our Implementation plans, we outline which classes/courses student will use AT. But rely on Ss and Ts to make it happen. #ATchat

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@MaegeK Do you mean gen ed buy in or sped or all staff buy in? #ATchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@wernedat #atchat A1: Great Point.So Ts are busy, Support folks busy. To do implementation planning 1 student at a time seems overwhelming.

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Current project: inviting other Ss (and their staff) into my classroom to join activities so I can model/train use of systems. #atchat

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@rziolkowski great support for the purchase and I assume a UDL initiative given the purchase...great IT dept... need more AT/EdTech #ATchat

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Q2: I end up training the kids in small groups or indiv. Also train parents when requested. #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT

W/reliance on Ts and Ss to make it happen-so important to have their buy in from the start #atchat https://t.co/uorCKBVh2Z

krista_bolen Apr 6 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Q2: in our Implementation plans, we outline which classes/courses student will use AT. But rely on Ss and Ts to make it happen. #ATchat

wernedat Apr 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@rziolkowski agreed. Big picture planning and systems change are where it's at. #ATchat

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@bcdtech Really, all relevant persons buy-in so all staff, but often family buy-in increases staff buy-in as well. #ATchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@mmatp Choir! why I've started inviting other students & their staff into my room. Hoping to make a difference w/ modeling/training. #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:17 PM EDT

I have had success this yr bringing several small classes together to train. They can support each other #Atchat https://t.co/zO4esfyNxV

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Q2: I end up training the kids in small groups or indiv. Also train parents when requested. #ATchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@MaegeK #atchat Isn't that sad. Why does buy-in trump student need? Do your teachers see the need or is it just 1 more thing?

JimSarto Apr 6 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@krista_bolen #ATChat Continuity of training & practice..... Good Deal

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@mmatp I do Learning Ally or Bookshare in small grade based grps. Do RW Google Chrome in whole classes, then repeat as needed indiv #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Such a good point-modeling success lets reluctant Ts see solutions in action #Atchat https://t.co/7nNGCJnVvE

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@mmatp Choir! why I've started inviting other students & their staff into my room. Hoping to make a difference w/ modeling/training. #atchat

spedville Apr 6 @ 8:19 PM EDT

SC Sped Teacher from TN/AR, mostly lurking tonight as I work on Annual review pprwk #ATchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@mmatp #atchat This seems to be the key. These are student tools anyway. Ss need to be the real experts.

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Q3: Talk about your team. Specifically how you define roles & responsibilities for AT implement #atchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@bcdtech #atchat Love training the parents too! Teachers and Parents need to build habits and routines to get use!

krista_bolen Apr 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@mmatp Yes, and finding what works and what is important to the Ss is key. Esp. for high school Ss. #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@rziolkowski @MaegeK really good point. We always talk buy in. They should see the need & want to work to respond to need. #Atchat

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Also - grass roots initiatives - find that teacher who is ALL IN for UDL #atchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Sometimes implementation is a bootstrapping problem for Ts in the beginning. Need to know how to implement to plan lessons ... (1/2) #atchat

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@rziolkowski Can be very frustrating. I think people have other priorities for the student; don't understand the long-term effects. #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@spedville Hi Marybeth - happy to have you lurking. Feel free to chime in to add your ideas #Atchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:21 PM EDT

#atchat Great Book: Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard Find your stories of success and replicate it!

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@MaegeK #atchat What other priorities do you see that trump AT usage?

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Starting in April #ATchat book club! First book: The End of Average by @ltoddrose 4/27 chat will be Book Club discussion

wernedat Apr 6 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@rziolkowski @mmatp real struggle is with mix of high/low incid dis, few staff at district, Tt with varying knowledge/willingness #ATchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:22 PM EDT

W/ tech integration. Need to plan lessons that integrate the tech to learn to use it in lessons. Modeling is a powerful tool! (2/2) #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@wernedat @rziolkowski those are some real world issues for sure! find place to start. build a coalition of support #atchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@wernedat @mmatp #atchat what would make them more willing? What do they think IS working for their students?

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:24 PM EDT

JimSarto Apr 6 @ 8:25 PM EDT

#ATchat Work with team strengths. Guided volunteerism.... Regularly scheduled meetings (with coffee..)

JeanJordan5 Apr 6 @ 8:25 PM EDT

#atchat. Had Amazing success recently w typical peers "all in" to use/model AT in small group with target peers.

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3. our "team" is me, my SLP who is not tech-confident and one para who is tech-savvy. So really, me. #atchat

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@rziolkowski Behavior difficulties, feeling the student needs to learn the task without AT first, etc. #ATchat

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@rziolkowski Hard for T to see the big pic - they see AT as something someone else needs to initiate - don't see behavior benefits #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@rziolkowski @wernedat that's the right question. What do THEY think is working? Could be the 1st step towards building collab #ATchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@mmatp @wernedat #atchat Go with the Goers. SHIFT-Shaping Habits in Fellow Teachers. https://t.co/ncZkgXiHPx

JimSarto Apr 6 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@WISCOMACO @rziolkowski #atchat ..... I feel your pain!

wernedat Apr 6 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@gallianstone I'm kinda in that same boat and getting creative is key I'm learning #ATchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@MaegeK #atchat Ahhh..so we are also battling perceptions that AT is cheating-right Hmm..maybe that is why they have behavior problems :)

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:27 PM EDT

#atchat Going to show extensions to librarians who will do class lessons during library time - VICTORY @rziolkowski

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Q4: How does your team work w/Ss to teach them strats (beyond AT) to complete tasks? #atchat

krista_bolen Apr 6 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@MaegeK @rziolkowski If they could learn it without AT, why would they need it? SMH #atchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@MaegeK @rziolkowski the ever popular "what if she could learn it one day" argument. she could DO it now if we gave her the tools! #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:28 PM EDT

YES! They the teachers will show others..and so on....and so on..... #ATchat https://t.co/MHJF9o7FUr

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:27 PM EDT

#atchat Going to show extensions to librarians who will do class lessons during library time - VICTORY @rziolkowski

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3: We are just building an AT team. So far, it is mostly me. We have two other SLPs for AAC only. #ATchat

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:28 PM EDT

#atchat In IEP teams, the AT is left for the OT to implement - unless there is someone else on the team who is "interested"

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@rziolkowski @MaegeK Had a long useful discussion yesterday w/T when I presented the uPAR pilot data. Talked about how well kids did #ATchat

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@mmatp Going right to the students.... :) #atchat

krista_bolen Apr 6 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@WISCOMACO @rziolkowski Librarians are a great resource. I just presented to ours today. #mnpslibhack #atchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@krista_bolen @MaegeK #atchat Yes another part of the perception to break.

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A4: The whole team is great with strategies, it is new things that make them nervous :) Transdiciplinary for strategies. #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@WISCOMACO yes right to the Ss. I am also setting up mtgs for interested family members after work #Atchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@bcdtech @MaegeK #atchat Exciting So did you see a perception/attitude change? or any other change?

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@wernedat creativity is absolutely key. Listen to what Ts need & pivot. A staffing shortage due to S behavior got me access #atchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@krista_bolen @WISCOMACO #atchat Did you get buy in? If so, what made them buy in?

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@rziolkowski @MaegeK Teachers who were resistant- thinking "cheating" or that accomodations=no remediation, saw real data-Hopeful #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@bcdtech @rziolkowski @MaegeK It's hard to argue w/hard data. #atchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@rziolkowski Helps with resistance too. Ts feel like I'm doing them a favor instead of placing one more demand on their time. #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Q5:AT services (incl. training) are critical for success. Talk about ways you provide support to Ss #atchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:34 PM EDT

#atchat A4: District in WY had students in a tech skills class as an exploratory class. Ss presented to teachers on how AT helps them.

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:34 PM EDT

#atchat Fairfax has had great success with Writing Camps to teach Ss tools and self advocacy.

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Don't forget. We are looking for people to moderate #ATchat Have a topic idea? Fill out the form: https://t.co/wUQEjE6Lej

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A5: regular check ins with S & T to see how the AT is working - still pretty indiv. for most S #atchat

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A5: direct treatment, staff training, parent training, consultation to staff #ATchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:36 PM EDT

That is what we are seeing too! Does this get admin buy in too? #atchat https://t.co/dmhkPy4utK

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@rziolkowski @MaegeK Teachers who were resistant- thinking "cheating" or that accomodations=no remediation, saw real data-Hopeful #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A5: I have small groups of AT users come together discuss ways they are using AT. Learn from each other. They lead-I listen #ATchat

krista_bolen Apr 6 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Q5: After initial training, I check in via email with one HSl student. Also, I have done follow up visits and observations. #atchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A5. Teaching them to use their systems and teaching them content using their systems. I'm a classroom teacher. It's what I do. :) #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@WISCOMACO so important to check in. Don't wait for problem to come up. Be proactive #Atchat

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@rziolkowski I think so... She is talking about how to fund- not if #ATchat

NoreenRyan13 Apr 6 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A5: direct training to Ss and team, follow up support, tech support via email and texting. #ATchat

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@mmatp I love this idea - must get this going at my middle school! #atchat

EGraniero Apr 6 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5: g interested students create tech support team to help other students. May have more by inn if not worried about tech fails #ATchat

wernedat Apr 6 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@krista_bolen A5: same. Love that my HSers are advocating via email and messaging. Scheduled follow up visits #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@WISCOMACO works really well. added bonus: I now have a "team" of AT users that can mentor others #Atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Q6: How do you use perform data to supplement assess data to implement AT? #atchat

krista_bolen Apr 6 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@wernedat Yes, one of the perks of older kids. I don't have to wait for the Ts to contact me, Ss are more motivated. #atchat

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@EGraniero This is so true. Some teachers I work with don't even want to use high-tech at all. #ATchat

NoreenRyan13 Apr 6 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Q5: also let admin know what training and support have occurred. #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@krista_bolen @wernedat agreed. Older Ss reaching out is very effective. They are also able to troubleshoot issues #atchat

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A6: I fine-tune AT based on performance data to increase use. #ATchat

eyeonaxs Apr 6 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@gallianstone modeling + using tech in context. #atchat

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@eyeonaxs @gallianstone Love this!! My teams that watch me work with the student do the best!! #ATchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Perf data is the only tool we have to show skill/progress as most of my Ss cannot complete formal assessments #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:46 PM EDT

This is so true! I love learning something new from the Ss. #atchat https://t.co/wmj9oWNC7R

NoreenRyan13 Apr 6 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Some have even taught me a few new things! @mmatp @krista_bolen @wernedat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Final question coming up. Amazing conversation tonight #Atchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@eyeonaxs yes. Was talking about having staff come with S into my room and join lessons to see how tech is integrated into a lesson. #atchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:47 PM EDT

#atchat Has anyone had their Ss present to School Board? Great way to get Admin Buy in, Parent/Community Buy In and often tears of joy!

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@eyeonaxs Teaches them both the tech and how to use it in context. #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A6: Using web based forms to work w/ Ss and Ts to perform collect data. #atchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:48 PM EDT

I think this is what we should all strive for. This tells me AT Implementation is working! Kudos to you! #atchat https://t.co/E5NMgHpGQZ

Q7: How does your team plan for maintenance & management of AT? #ATchat

rziolkowski Apr 6 @ 8:51 PM EDT

#atchat How can we create momentum out of this? https://t.co/Bf3wLim0Fr

@rziolkowski I've had my Ss create videos that have been shown to the board (on demand is hard!) def had an impact! #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Great point. We need to tell admins that things are moving forward. Don't wait for them to ask-offer up info #Atchat https://t.co/BuWWViUkqK

NoreenRyan13 Apr 6 @ 8:42 PM EDT

Q5: also let admin know what training and support have occurred. #ATchat

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7: Still a work in progress, different for each team/student, but not always in a good way. Need to increase organization of this. #ATchat

wernedat Apr 6 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@mmatp @NoreenRyan13 and taking video of short successes to show admin helps. #ATchat

WISCOMACO Apr 6 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Sadly, no good plan for this - try to have devices for trials - try to work with IT - try to keep comm open with case mgrs. #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@MaegeK This can be tricky for sure. Must have well defined team roles & responsibilities #atchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@rziolkowski My class has a Twitter account, a (neglected) YouTube channel, and a class webpage. #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@wernedat @NoreenRyan13 yes! I have been working with teams to take more video&pix to demonstrate success #atchat

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@mmatp @MaegeK This is still very much a work in progress for us. The OT I work with is on board and follows up with organization #ATchat

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@bcdtech @mmatp That's awesome that you have someone dedicated. #ATchat

krista_bolen Apr 6 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A7: We have our Ss turn in devices at the end of the year so we can update them over the summer and re issue in fall. #atchat

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@krista_bolen Does that include AAC? #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Apr 6 @ 8:57 PM EDT

Did you miss something tonight? Don’t worry-we will post the Storify from tonight’s #ATchat tomorrow morning

bcdtech Apr 6 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@mmatp Thanks Mike! Got to run! will check back tomorrow to get any last thoughts #ATchat

MaegeK Apr 6 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@krista_bolen Oh that is good :) #ATchat

NoreenRyan13 Apr 6 @ 8:58 PM EDT

Q7: depends on the device and school. Individual devices are turned in. #ATchat

gallianstone Apr 6 @ 8:58 PM EDT
