-
A2: Yes, reference to BC history and the treaty process

A2: Yes. I'd hope all PSA conferences supported Ts' understanding of the curric - I think that needs to be main focus right now!
-
Hi! Carrie, SD93, . Sorry, coming in late!
-
A2. The presentation I offered can totally be translated to ... embedding AbEd into mathematics.
-
Yes. Necessary since we're living it now.
-
Nice to connect again Carrie!
-
Yes! Was great to meet you both. It was a great day of learning.
-
Q3 is on the way! We'll ask you to respond to a quote....

-
A2: Here's an example of our conference day! Cultural perspectives, indigenous practices, music, language https://t.co/hdGYZbVma2
-
A2: How-deepening understanding of curric elements - big ideas, inquiry, core & curricular competencies with instr & ass'mt ideas

Share those assessment ideas!
-
A1: I was at 's session on Imagination and (Eco-)Learning at SFU

-
A2: Yes! So many links with place - based learning, core competencies, sciences, language arts, etc. etc.
-
How true... for to be successful. It's our pedagogy & assessment practices that will make the difference.
-
Based on emails and texts I received from staff on Friday, I'd say there was a good energy for this PD!
-
Denise from Coquitlam signing in late. Lost track of time!
-
Connects with mathematics as social endeavour https://t.co/TcnJbIc9kD
-
-
A2. The presentation I offered can totally be translated to ... embedding AbEd into mathematics.
-
Hello Denise! Always nice to have you join !
-
A3: there will always be naysayers but they are -in my experience- few & far between. Time to 'see in' to other ppl's practice=key
-
Can't join tonight but based on the topic I wanted to share a great Pro-D opportunity https://t.co/00OLwzrHGU Check it out!
-
UGH... I'm so sad I missed this. Heard great things about his keynote. So sad we can't be in 2 places at once.
-
-
A3: there's something refreshing and rejeuvenating about all of us being in the same 'redesigned' boat this year :)
-
A3: time and resources are super important otherwise teachers can get frustrated b/c they want to get started and can't
-
Assessment will be a theme that we'll need to continually revisit at
-
A3. Mixed. You can have something connected, time available, or resources... but it's the learner who has to be ready.
-
-
A3: 4 many Ts this is true, but there are innovators, early adopters who 'see' implementation in theory/ideas & love 2 work it in
-
A3: So I am going with a language matters kind of response...would change development to learning and want to define "resources"
-
did you hear about next year? All PSAs (or many) uniting at Canada Place for Oct PD!!
-
We hope you’re enjoying the chat tonight! Remember, we chat every Sunday at 7 pm PST!
-
We'll explore this later in chat about who/how we get resources and time!
-
-
A3. YES to all of these. And also choice - T's need to be able to find their way into their own learning from where they are.
-
A3: I agree, but I think there also needs to be choice so that teachers can pick what engages them
-
A3: I also am wary of the term implementation - that makes it seem so black and white.,.we have been in the grey zone for years
-
-
Wow. That would be spectacular!!!
-
-
OH MAN... You are all about timing. LIKE.
-
Curious how people are supporting new curric 'outside the box' innovation AS WELL AS traditional instruction of master teachers
-
Q4: From your professional learning, what will you bring back to you classroom this week?
-
Q4: From your professional learning, what will you bring back to you classroom this week?
-
A2: We hosted 75 teachers in + had over 15 sessions over 2 days including: bringing indigenous voices into Drama classes
-
A3. True. If students succeed when they see relevance in a lesson/class, why wouldn't teachers? They're human too.
-
-
That is soooo awesome!!! Another PD I wished I attended.
-
I'm a member of 3 PSA's because I wanted to have access to their members' curric. resources & login areas! https://t.co/5gQj4ggUwC

is hearing of your keynote. Will it be available on your blog? Love to read it. Thank you.
-
You have no idea how hard this was to make on my phone while taking cookies out of the over https://t.co/YzS8nyUyWZ
-
A3: And while I continue to dissect the language of the quote - this is not a "program" - its a curriculum framework - a vision
-
-
-
-
A3: Agree. PD must be personalized and it must be desired in order for it to be effective.
-
-
it's official. We're addicted to pro-D.
-
A4: I am wishing I had a classroom! Instead, I will incorporate what I learnt into the workshops I give this year.
-
A4: Attempt to put into classroom practice. Introduce reflective exercises and learning circles
-
we need to livestream and archive more of these things, i.e. Periscope!
-
Yes... personalization is not just for students but for all learners... young and not so young.
-
Personalized through choice and respecting Ts passion/areas of inquiry is important!
-
What are some sessions that were offered! Very intrigued!
-
A4: Digital storytelling is something I want to learn more about &apply to my practice. It's my first ever 1.0 FTE... baby steps
-
Yes! We are learning to personalise education, it's time to personalize our proD so all teachers can benefit!
-
Yes, underlying paradigms are so key to even communicating with each other. Vitally important for PD & pe… https://t.co/DdpBhggWVE

A3 Somewhat agree! I also think PD is effective when time spent addressing underlying beliefs & values Very import… https://t.co/qKJtHTfeSA
-
Interesting idea! Can the internet handle BC Educators sharing and learning? :)
-
I agree, 100%- it's one of our major goals in to leverage existing PD online via quality video
-
A4 Lots. Using Vine as end task, more and advocacy for TLs
-
Grrrr I'm late to the party sorry
-
A4. What I am going to bring back to the classroom is the constant persistence of experimenting, trying something new & learning.

I agree, 100%- it's one of our major goals in to leverage existing PD online via quality video
-
A4: inspired by , I am going to include more words/stories in the problems than just the tighter math expressions/probs
-
-
She's an amazing resource!
-
Many new T's can't afford to access PD otherwise or TTOCs left outta the loop. Video=huge
-
A4. "point of view"- uni-directional; "insight" - multi-directional. think @ where ideas / info come from. dialogue not monologue
-
Hello... you better be sharing. That sounds like an awesome thing to learn. Digital storytelling.
-
Very good point. Making learning accessible to all.
-
-
A4 bringing back some great ways to foster discussion in my class and lots of colleagues with whom we can bounce ideas
-
A4: Taking back...a reminder of how we are better together, to seek more opportunities to collaborate with others, always learning
-
A4. Also what I bring back to my classroom is that I'm not alone. We're all in this together. Very exciting times for Ts and Ss.
-
A4: I did some work on using Web 2.0 tools for classroom collaboration. Face to face & online classrooms can benefit.
-
Q5: What was one of your BIG aha’s or take-away for your professional learning experience?
-
Q5: What was one of your BIG aha’s or take-away for your professional learning experience?
-
Nicely said. Frameworks allow for creativity & more individualized & local content. More flexibility 4 S needs.
-
A4: Some of the best PD can be found right here on . Constant flowing stream of resources. Start fishing.

I added Google Keep to my world this weekend...had a 'reminder' at local grocery store...3 live contributors to my list...future!
-
A3 Sometimes opportunity to reflect on big picture, grapple w ideas & engage in focused conversation req'd 4 philosophical change
-
Tonight’s topic was suggested by YOU, ! Please stop by our website to suggest topics for upcoming chats: https://t.co/apNWRbqItJ
-
Amen! I'm doing my Master's degree in dialogue in the K-12 system! Duality > Polarity. Dialogue > Debate
-
Also, for Ts who are in schools outside the main hubs, flying + hotel costs adds up!
-
Being inclusive is for teacher-learners, too!!!
-
A5. My BIG aha's is finding or CARVING out the time to connect with my colleagues and PLN. I get so excited when we chat & collab.
-
I've also found to be an effective way for Ss and Ts to collaborate.

Amen! I'm doing my Master's degree in dialogue in the K-12 system! Duality > Polarity. Dialogue > Debate
-
A5: How much incredibly hard work it takes to make these conferences come together. How we all have talent we can contribute :)
-
A5: That's it's ok to fail if you fail-forward. Growth happens when we take risks and step out of our comfort zones.
-
Are you serious? Send me a copy when you're done your final paper, project, or thesis. This is great!!!
-
I agree...so much great PD opportunities on Twitter.
-
Yes, but it was worth it! Process of building a conference can be as powerful as participating!
-
A4 I'll bring back ? From PD. What is important 2 measure & how do we involve Ss in process
-
Absolutely. If we're in our comfort zones... are we really learning? or growing? I have to kick myself sometimes.
-
Q4: that we are on the right track and so many of teachers' passions and philosophies support other philosophies and ideas
-
A5: I spent Friday coding with beginner and vet Ts. Amazing to watch collaboration from a level playing field
-
finding to be my new BFF this year!
-
A5: Biggest take away: potential for learning in our school yard! Need to take students outside more + create connection to place
-
A4 - I'll be bringing back an enthusiasm for teaching after meeting so many excited and passionate educators at conference!
-
Agreed. We we are trying to nourish the passion in our Ss... we should be nourishing our passion as Ts.

-
A5 Lots take aways from See 4conversation Notion curric putting a ceiling on learning interesting
-
Networking! addressed the chats to stay connected after
-
Right?! Ts I work w/ are worried about integrating First Nations into teaching. This is a great way to bridge that gap!
-
my Pro-D on Friday saw 200 educators in the session with one, mostly two devices online...are students school/real life too diff?
-
A2 yes because it was very centred on indigenous perspectives on learning and this is a huge part of new curriculum.
-
Yes. Couldn't agree more! It was seamless blend!
-
A6 culture that trusts/supports risk taking - gotta be willing to use what you learned quick or you'll lose it!
-
A5 interesting premise nature VIA nurture Genetics def'n possibility Nurturing allows development
-
A6: Encouragement! Support that will evaluate the process rather than the product.

A1, I attended the BC and Canadian ArtTeachers Conference at UVIC called Intersections 2016.
-
A5 biggest takeaway was the reminder of how many passionate teachers I have the privilege to know
-
Welcome Ian! I heard your chat at was a big hit!
-
Encouragement and creating a culture of safety for Ts to take a risk!
-
A5. to keep striving to make changes, try new ideas and encourage S's &T's to do the same
-
Wow. That sounds like an incredible PD to go to. What did you learn?

For sure. I think Ts used to think it took up learning time, but w/ new curriculum, it IS learning time
-
A6 Middle school is an amazing place to work, teacher collaborative time build in with common preps.Great way to support others
-
Q6: honestly need time. No prep until semester2, first job. It's hard. I love it, but it's hard not to feel mediocre & overwhelmed
-
think/hope the "phone away" mindset is fading - use tech to engage Learning over memorizing!
-
So we're getting beat by zombies?
-
That makes sense. Common preps. Embedded collab time. Love it.
-
What was one of your takeaways from the conference?
-
A6: honestly need time. No prep until semester2, first job. It's hard. I love it, but it's hard not to feel mediocre & overwhelmed

-
Hi James! Welcome to ! A friend said he learned lots from you at ! Thanks!
-
I feel like there should be some sort of "at least we can outsmart them" joke that would fit here!
https://t.co/0bkOTqN2qk
-
-
So we're getting beat by zombies?
-
A6:I will read up on 's blog + share w/colleagues. Strenght in numbers/ critical mass to integrate into our practices!

How can you get time to build upon your momentum?
-
A6: Need gentle but consistent encouragement & support & affirmation, Just like my students need. This job can be isolating!
-
I wonder how we can make that learning cross-curricular... like into math. Thoughts?
-
How are you realistically managing? Working on MEd is intense in the best of circumstances.
-
Yes! I like your emphasis that you don't need a device to learn coding.
-
-
-
we do have Scratch, but bringing in Tickle and Swift. Awesome start oh, also Lightbot for practice
-
I sooooo agree with you. It's ironic. Ts work with so many people yet it is isolating. Stay connected at all times.
-
-
Super late to party
any questions remaining?
-
-
on your phone... go to the magnifying glass... look below.
-
-
Q7: Let’s think collaboration. Are there opportunities or a desire to share your learning with colleagues?

A couple of more questions left... JOIN US.... great to see you Rose.
-
I took MOOC online they HarveyMudd this summer 1st day on ScratchJr kids were Rockin it! https://t.co/RvyqrBQAgE
-
-
I may have broken a fire limit....great to see so much interest in bringing coding to earlier/all grades!
-
A6. Support I need is a LEARNING COMMUNITY... or community of learners... Someone to have a shoulder to cry on or help inspire.
-
In today's world we have no excuse to be isolated. Isolated teachers equal isolated students.
-
A7
Love EdCamps as way to network & share
-
Depends on what you're using to tweet. If you're using a phone, tap the search box.
-
-
A7 sharing is why I reflect on my learning each day https://t.co/8OMeVTEFOi blog & twitter = ongoing collaboration opportunities
-
A7. Hello? I am here totally JELLY of everyone else's professional learning but also inspired as to what I want to learn next.
-
I'm sensing a Ed Camp for some face to face growth & planning; model it on twitter camps? Hmmm?
-
shouldn't students and teachers all be connected online...all the time with all the good people? https://t.co/vdeWrKNCPa
-
Thx. Will check them out C my blog post Coding4Learning. Having fun now https://t.co/fd9zDnGdTm https://t.co/EzsGSnIVlO
-
-
Don't forget about Turtle Pond and Turtle Academy. They are free & academy has great tutorials for Ss to grow in.
-
That makes so much sense. Experimentation vs producing product. HELLO LEARNING.
-
-
A7: I need to get back to bloging. We also share at our team meetings: each get 10 mins to talk about what we learned at proD
-
I think the learning is infectious. Being open to sharing and receiving is essential. Ripple effects on learning = vast!
-
Another great way for people inspired by you to stay connected!
-
OMG. Glad I have kids 2 help me w new lrng https://t.co/RXZhZgjWnL
-
-
we do have Scratch, but bringing in Tickle and Swift. Awesome start oh, also Lightbot for practice

A7
Loved interschool collaboration btwn & who attended summer camp in August
-
I sometimes wish I could clone myself to go to all the great sessions that happen at the same time!
-
A7 yes I have been thinking of bringing ideas I learned back to my LSA and offering them for discussion and possibility.
-
A7: Woodrow Wilson said it best when he said "I not only use all the brains that I have but all that I can borrow.
-
Now you're thinking. EDU-CLONING.
-
Hard to sustain everything from full day ProD. Easier to take one bit at a time...30 mins, even 10
-
The mod team met at x-mas for 1st time last Dec. Neat to meet f2f!
I volunteer to org! :)
-
A6 Time, the license/freedom to take risks, & collaboration w/like-minded purposeful Ts
-
A7 Collaboration is what a TL's job is all about. Can't wait to talk idea with my colleagues

I need to be better with time management. And does anyone have any blogging motivation tips?
-
Yes... finding likemindedness can be difficult at times... that's why I love . MY TRIBE.
-
A2 yes, both really addressed the why we do... great to be reflective abt practice in the midst of change 1/2
-
-
A7 I have the gift of connecting with Ts with my work invite me & I visit! digital resources and more! Free, too!
-
A7 one approach suggested was for teachers to start journals with ideas and circulate thru district mail toshare alternately ideas
-
Never be afraid to ask! It's all about how you go about it!
-
Q8: If you could give a message to the organizers of your event, what would it be?
-
Q8: If you could give a message to the organizers of your event, what would it be?
-
SO good! Blogging such a monster way to reflect and refine where you are, where you are going.
-
A7. Hoping to bring thoughts to my Eng T colleagues and my New Curric team
-
