I think that will happen soon.
Katie High School teacher librarian. Pirate in training. Excited for the trouble to come tonight 😆
Sandy - that is great! Here's to new beginnings!! =)
A1: Google Classroom (I used it like a Twitter chat)
Is that the trick to keeping track of all of this? I end up with like 1 mil tabs open!
Ooooh! Cool! Do you have something in the hopper????
hello there dear! Miss you!!
A1: PollEverywhere, Padlet... any tool that gives us quiet folks a opp to share without standing up in from of the room.
been using Classroom and with new student voice this year.
A1: Twitter is easy, backchanneling tools such as . Love this new one
A1 I like using the google classroom question feature
David from VA. ITRT ( tech coach) for Department of Juvenile Justice. (and self appointed Eng Dept Head (stealing titles is piratey))
Jeri, K-2 Art Educator from AR jumping in for the first time!
Journals for reflective writing. Podcasts and blog posts they are more likely to share this way then in class https://t.co/wPGyB6A6lh
A1: Twitter is a personal favorite. SO much can be done on here. GAFE and padlet are both great for opening students up, too.
BRIAN! Great to see you! Even though it's not in person like this summer....!!
A1 has been awesome to give voice to my quiet Ss
A1: strategy called "Chalk Talk", basically a conversation on chart paper
OMG. You're right. I shouldn't have just bought for me.
Well, I tend to do that too. I haven't figured out the best option yet.
two of my favorite people :) and one of my favorite episodes with Julie!
A1 I was introduced to last year. All my Ss loved it, but the quieter ones really jumped on it!
A1: Art, writing, music + small group work - consider putting introverts together in grps
A1) everything and anything. From good ol' notes to lightBright to.... Anything! It's 2016 - let the student choose!
A1: our ears. Sometimes Ss are introverted because they feel nobody cares, including the T! Show them someone cares by listening.
A1: self reflections and anonymous polls using tools like
A1- I tried last year for the first time. It allowed all Ss a chance to voice thoughts and opinions.
A1 Love & 1 of my fav things about being a T is seeing my quietest Ss raise their voices online:)
A1- Techology!! My students blog so all voices are heard and if I want answers to be anonymous, I'll use
is a great way to get younger students using their voice.
A1: Google forms, docs, presentation, stop motion, ask SS how they want to communicate, they amaze me of things I haven't thought of
That's a definite YES! I think I'm staying at your house.... Oh, you didn't know that .
Can't wait https://t.co/P9J8rdrR58
Hi there! Did I see that you're coming to MN in October? Would love to meet you f2f!
And then would that be followed by winter and spring? Just start a year-round Spark.
A1: Writer's Notebook (traditional or electronic)
Hi Robin! Welcome! This is a fun, FAST chat!
sounds awesome, Teresa - got an example?
A1:Kelli jumping in here. I like to use padlet. They post thoughts/explanations for us all to review & comment on.
A1:Visual ways 2express themselves, drawing, play doh, & podcasts! Put them on the spot & celebrate them afterward
I do. I started talking to this week about it. She was a great devil's advocate. I need angle of attack
Amy joining in a bit late from NC
https://t.co/hXp4eX1Ul3
A1 I try to find out quick my introverts & discover their passions & interests they share & speak when they are truly inspired.
A1 I have a REAL problem w "points for participation".
Not talking doesn't = not thinking
A bit late, Rachelle frm Pittsburgh, A1 I have used and
A1 I use tools that students suggest. I ask students what they like to do and work that in
Love this answer...sometimes the best tools are the simplest. https://t.co/8PXG3X9TR3
A1: our ears. Sometimes Ss are introverted because they feel nobody cares, including the T! Show them someone cares by listening.
A1: online classroom discussion tools like . Also, showing exemplary student writing gives those students a voice
A1. Class response systems. Exit tickets. Answer 2-3 Qs on a post it & collect. Journaling. To name a few.
and we love you for it. xxxoo
my Ss are reading Fish in a Tree as part of our unit on how to treat others - would you like to meet my Ss via ?
Recap is on my list of things to look into. What do you like the most about it?
A1: Todaysmeet, Google preso back channel, Google Classroom, any screencasting tool, ALL GAFE tools
Hi Jim! Welcome! It moves fast - but you can always come back to the tag
I know...happened so fast that my head is spinning. Excited for this new opportunity, but will miss my kiddos.
Really I just have to go back later or go through a chat archive if there is one
A1 most students say something like "what is 's class doing?"
A1: create Identity Posters
A1 is safety a tool? If you give Ss a safe environment, they're so much more likely to talk. Failure has to be an option!
A1 I've used Twitter in class for discussions - works GREAT -
A1 Exit slips and reflective responses at the end of the day; socratic seminars with an outer observational circle
A1 Google classroom, class Twitter page, today's meet, student blogs, are all great tools to increase voices of introverts
Hi all, Mike from Tampa. Hi !
My new passion for the year. Ss are really loving it too.
And, talking doesn't = making a contribution https://t.co/vqZ2BROi20
A1 I have a REAL problem w "points for participation".
Not talking doesn't = not thinking
I love incorporating a lot of drawings or comics. Prezis are also great for students who want to present, but dont want to speak
or if you can't get Ss on the Twitter!
A1 Multiple opportunities to respond. https://t.co/kwgxPi5HtP responses. Padlet responses. Google forms. No risk to be called out.
Thanks, Tara! Hoping to give back and learn a lot from my colleagues. Also hoping to inspire more in the classrooms.
A1. Tt - Ss relationships are very important
A1 Giving Ss opportunity 2 use paper/pen & electronic gives Ss choice 2 use lrng style that wrks best 4 them https://t.co/I0dfh23nOg
A1: Writer's Notebook (traditional or electronic)
Curious about this app. Can it be like an exit ticket? Can't find in App Store.
students can and should dictate what's best for them. They can advocate with a myriad of resources in today's times.
Love how quickly T can scroll through all Ss vids. No upload for Ss
Do you use backchannels w/ the Ss too, or just your staff?
A1 Yes! And Twitter chats too. Kids have enjoyed or just observed my https://t.co/0pFXElVI8L
A1: Google Classroom (I used it like a Twitter chat)
The role of the observer is so key, but so often forgotten... https://t.co/5CvE5P0d4J
A1 Exit slips and reflective responses at the end of the day; socratic seminars with an outer observational circle
A1- My Ss are always "turning & talking" before I ellicit answers from the whole group. This means all Ss are sharing their thoughts
I use to host a few podcasts from 2008-2009.
A1: Time, introverts need time to be ready to contribute, moving to a new topic too fast is too much pressure
A1 Voice thread & voki avatars are great; record & share It is also good to let them start with a smaller group to present with and to
A1:. My lower grade students love Chatter Pic IOS iPad app by
A1: Google classroom, journals, plickers, blogs, small group strategies in the classroom... there are so many different options!
A1 I wish I had access to all these wonderful tools when I was a kid, would have made a difference.
These are great, so many ways with to get Ss talking build confidence
I've told so many parents this at conferences. Truer words... https://t.co/4iPTrGQiQ3
A1 I have a REAL problem w "points for participation".
Not talking doesn't = not thinking
A1: googleclassroom Even though I try to let my extroverted self infect others. They may think I'm a bit crazy.
I have been a little busy to drop in on your class. Next time
A1 I don't think there are pure introverts or extroverts. It is finding comfort, community, & confidence to share openly & generously.
I was the super quiet kid in high school so I like to find every opportunity for those same kids
Actually, my Ts do. They also use Twitter. It's harder with Ss because we are not 1:1 but we share https://t.co/T0y8lPqskN
Do you use backchannels w/ the Ss too, or just your staff?
my Ss are reading "Mr. Terupt" as part of our study on how to treat others - would you like to meet my class via ?
Whether it's a tool or a strategy, it's key. If they don't feel safe, they won't open up. https://t.co/btCJBsf4u0
A1 is safety a tool? If you give Ss a safe environment, they're so much more likely to talk. Failure has to be an option!
I'm in for a year round spark!
Thanks,Justin. Been a busy 2 weeks. Got the position while on vacation.Came back to clear out my room.Then training.
I'm having flashbacks to June at https://t.co/ogWPR7pnER
Seriously - a chat co-moderated by and ? It's Xmas in September
A1: I always used fishbowl discussion. Small group followed by contributors to large group. Worked very well
A1: For low tech classes, graffiti walls, world cafe, parking lots, sticky notes, snowball
I've never used Classroom in this way. Needing a chat platform for upcoming presidential debate. This might work!
A1 I've used those huge poster-sized Post-Its for wall writing as well
if you want to continue chatting, go to -get this book of your don't have it already
(Only because I snort laugh)
A1: lots of students are now creating flipped classroom student videos using screencasting/capturing tools.
Nothing more awesome than paying it forward https://t.co/dWLoNKbgO4
I was the super quiet kid in high school so I like to find every opportunity for those same kids
A1: Discussion boards in have absolutely LAUNCHED in-class discussions for us. Everyone has voice & Ss see other responses
A1 Hold weekly opportunities for Ss to just come and talk with you 1-1 (hard to do with class of 43!) at lunch to show what they know
I agree. A safe & respectful room gets most Ss out of their shells.
Something to keep in mind as we welcome back Ss this week https://t.co/9N7QOtXE98
The role of the observer is so key, but so often forgotten... https://t.co/5CvE5P0d4J
A1 Exit slips and reflective responses at the end of the day; socratic seminars with an outer observational circle
A1: I use but also is a great way- its set up like Twitter but a little easier for students!
A1 we have students write project logs to track their learning
A1. Let Ss write answers to class discussions and hand them all in and review anonymously as a class.
Hey Rachelle! Good to see an peep!
Q2 What tools can we use to help our visual learners?
A1. find a common ground to build the Tt - Ss relationship
A1: We get in their faces and yell, "ANSWER ME, ANSWER ME" -
Just kidding
Dave Burgess’ Teach Like a Pirate Presentation Coming to SWOSU! FREE event for teachers and admins! https://t.co/Sup6uAQcQ7
A1- My Ss will often write the "weekly update" that I send to parents. They reflect on the week and share their thoughts
Thanks, Julie! No risk...no reward! Hoping to spread the pirate love to a wider audience. I'm sure to learn a lot, too.
love this idea! Need to figure out a way to use in my class though
and is a great way to store virtual notes!
A1 ask them to draw. Write comments back to them and "discuss" that way, let them know you are "listening" in another way
I love having classroom discussion boards (whatever platform you use) -- so effective for so many kids. https://t.co/TvSrcPfJ5v
A1: Discussion boards in have absolutely LAUNCHED in-class discussions for us. Everyone has voice & Ss see other responses
TodaysMeet worked amazing for those uncomfortable with overall class discussions
It was pure comic relief when I put my 8th graders on, no experience chatting like that. LOL
No Congrats necessary here. So early in the planning stages. But I need to get off the proverbial pot
A1: we always had a question/wonder wall in my classroom! Great for student voice. Right ?
A1 Sharing one's ideas & opinions aloud in a class community cannot be completely optional all the time. It is a vital life skill.
or develop open ended strategies that can have multiple tools
A2: I'm about creating with my to bring their ideas to life. Especially with comics
Using a science journal gives me a chance to read Ss thoughts that they don't share in class
This is paramount...safety and security first
Loving these great Q1 ideas from the crew! Too busy reading & making notes to come up w/ my own answer! Must check &
I love using the app. You can collect all S answers and then push out a particular response to all Ss for discussion.
I hang them in the hall and get them up and moving.
A2: , , Makerspace, the "create your own action figure," book cover, self-portrait, mind maps!
A2 use - it's a great way to annotate visuals!
A1 I agree. I've had Ss come in 2 wrk w/ me 1:1 role-playing how to answer the next day's questions https://t.co/2516uzr2To
A1 Sharing one's ideas & opinions aloud in a class community cannot be completely optional all the time. It is a vital life skill.
LOVE for chatting-love the organization of the ? feature even 2nd graders rocked it last year https://t.co/OaflK1ruw3
I've never used Classroom in this way. Needing a chat platform for upcoming presidential debate. This might work!
Thanks for sharing. This site is new to me, but looks like you can change the spin time for even more think time.
A2: anchor charts, visual note taking
A2. Student made posters.
Thanks for sharing, Rachelle! I'll look at it after the chat. Great to "see" you again! Hope all is well w/ u.
A2: Again, Sketchnote posters are great for visuals, for classroom management
A1 Create a safe classroom community & encourage to share in mode they prefer. Listen when they do talk, it's likely to be deep
A1 Any pirates out there using cel.ly? Just started investigating and am intrigued.
A2: hang up tons of anchor charts
LORI I GET TO SEE YOU IN A FEW WEEKS!!!
sketch notes, brain pop, virtual labs, for dig portfolio, makerspace to tinker & create, interactive word wall
yes it is! Its a great tool!
A1 I'm not taking about forcing or shaming kids. Ts must cultivate a class of security, enthusiasm, & articulate self-expression.
A2 comics/graphic novels are great options! Read between the panels/visual evidence teaches close reading well https://t.co/Y5H3QxqJy3
Love taking the risk like that. Everyone learns from the experience
A2: I avoid unnecessary words on presentations but add many pics/key images to remember. Provide images so Ss can recall info.
A1: Letting our Ss choose the way they express themselves and do away with one size fits all assignments and assessments
A1, contests and showcasing artwork is another way to encourage the unsure young artist. Art helps boosting confidence!
I get the best insight reviewing my Ss science notebooks
are those my triple chip recipe?
A2: YouTube, Google classroom, word clouds, comics, and props https://t.co/KmCTTXFUz0
Q2 What tools can we use to help our visual learners?
Or at least buy a second house there.
A2 Can't beat meme generators. So fun to throw those around
Aw man! Now I want cookies.
A1: we can use engagement activities that allow ss to share their learning and teach others.
A2: Pictures on Padlet, again, presentation tools such as Prezi, are all good visual tools
I wish. They're the "we found this cookie dough in the back of the fridge" recipe.
A2: Thinglink, glogster, minecraft. Really exploring this year with coding apps as well.
A1 Google slides now allows for audience questions when I'm presenter mode. Fun times.
I love ISs get a voice...great way to share ?
A2 Really like using have been teaching abt
A2 , Google Drawing App, Good old paper and markers, anchor charts, performances they watch
but not every kid is going to share - just not part of their nature. provide other ways to show their knowledge
oh we have to talk on that.
Jan from Texas jumping in late A1: Use for in book favs - Thx
Differentiation is all about this - if a S can show me that they get it by drawing/photo etc. then LET THEM!!!
A2 I use my SMART board to project key images and cartoons to reinforce ideas
I love it is my go to tool.
A2: anchor charts, use of the smart board, google classroom, prezis, videos, artwork, graphic art...
On this thought from , I love using Apollo by ! IMO works MUCH better. https://t.co/q95g8ANIeN
I love using the app. You can collect all S answers and then push out a particular response to all Ss for discussion.
Caring is the greatest thing you can do for students. https://t.co/GyAcUjSHKv
A1: our ears. Sometimes Ss are introverted because they feel nobody cares, including the T! Show them someone cares by listening.
A1... Provide alternate voices such as "writing", drawing, graffiti blasts and even some total physical response.
Powtoons is a really fun tech tool.
here I just go generic store bought today 😜
YES! I'm getting in late but I'll be there. I'm so excited to fly in to South Dakota. https://t.co/Dne7ayLO36
Since I'm 5 hours away, that'd pose a problem.Hoping for a pirate meet up the night before. Surely is planning it.
Yes, I found it & startd almost 3 yrs ago,1st change to my CR, HUGE impact so many grt optns for commun.collab
A2.1 A well crafted hyperdoc can be very visual.
Yes, Peg. Practice is essential. No stakes, no risk, all reward. Strategically build public speaking skills. https://t.co/TPw3y2O4sF
A1 I agree. I've had Ss come in 2 wrk w/ me 1:1 role-playing how to answer the next day's questions https://t.co/2516uzr2To
A1 Sharing one's ideas & opinions aloud in a class community cannot be completely optional all the time. It is a vital life skill.
A2 & also lots of visual creations, last wk we used play dough to create settings, this wk literary theme parks!
A2: pics and graphics are so important in lessons, for everyone! Why do we think people live gifs, YouTube, selfless, etc
A2 be animated when you teach.
A2 Ss create SketchNotes, Digital journals via SeeSaw (Twitter) w/video reflections, drawing and voice over explanations, infographics
A1 Find what is their passion and let them lead the teaching, he is my horse lover, now my pirate https://t.co/cRDCoOUoYc
A2: let Ss choose meaningful visuals to display throughout the room that are useful to them and that they believe will be helpful
Yes. Such great apps for Ss to create them too.
A2) I'm addicted to - besides stunning visuals, you can also get in your lessons; all images are CC
“: A2 How about infographics? Ss can create their own with https://t.co/ccVZYM39dX ” Outstanding option-Is it COPPA yet?
A2 Anchor charts, diagrams, video clips, sorting cards, google slides
A2 we use a lot of building tools that combine visual and tactile
I was about to share this!! Infographics is a GREAT way for visual learners! Various layouts too! https://t.co/qYWJ9mdHTN
Yes to all. Learned sketch noting from the best... My Ss loved it.
A2- one of my favorite visual tools is
something many Ts feel compelled to do -- push the kid until they break and finally participate. Not helping. https://t.co/EEzF52n13u
A1 I'm not taking about forcing or shaming kids. Ts must cultivate a class of security, enthusiasm, & articulate self-expression.
Love throwing a picture(s) on the screen and asking Ss how this represents _________. Makes them think a lot deeper about topic
A2; offer a large vareity of materials- hands on manipulatives, pictures, technology, interactive lessons
Coming in late to the show! Lindsey, K-2 Lead Learner from AR!
A2: Skitch, Annotate, GoogleDrawings, comic apps/tools, videos... lots of color!
A2: I love having students use Canva to display knowledge/understanding
try memegenerator dot net and have fun!!
I'm still a fan of thinking maps
What are literary theme parks?
Perhaps write first, even read from a script initially. But answering Qs and sharing ideas aloud is essential. https://t.co/0lShG2UDDt
So give them a forum where they feel comfortable - maybe writing instead of speaking?
A2: Chalk talks work well. We do them on butcher paper and on "whiteboard walls."
A1 Not really a tool, but if we embrace design thinking & let Ss build/design to show us what they learn then we allow for all voices.
I teach my Ss sketchnoting!
What is your "go to" for the graphics?
A2: use other students as models to share their work
A2: Class website links to videos, images, cartoons, primary documents to help those who need to see it (again, I am a visual learner)
Love that it can be digital - Paper 53 or Google Draw, or paper
A2: Gifs...don't forget gifs!
I know an art teacher and that is the only way he let's his students take notes.
Allowing multiple modes of participation? Whaaaat?? https://t.co/Aoff1eKsbC
A1 Create a safe classroom community & encourage to share in mode they prefer. Listen when they do talk, it's likely to be deep
A2: I love using Adobe Spark. Visual but also VERY cool presentation
Love this idea! And memes too.
my participation is contribution and not being butt nugget. No A if you're a meanie
So many optns for Ss to create & present w lots of choices
This tweet made my day! Thanks for screaming it, Julie! Can't wait! https://t.co/OAMTjoY3Dt
LORI I GET TO SEE YOU IN A FEW WEEKS!!!
A2: let Ss show what they learned by creating infographics
My 3 sons are introverts and don't WANT attention. At ALL. But their brains are working! https://t.co/mgG1p52I1e
A1: our ears. Sometimes Ss are introverted because they feel nobody cares, including the T! Show them someone cares by listening.
A2. I enjoy using Canva..really there are so many great tools for visual!
I love using this both for me and my Ss to showcase their learning
Q1: provide multiple opportunities to "speak" such as written, tweets, or texting. Snowball fights where students read other comments
A2 Creating a group Google drop Doc that Ss bring their findings together in orfer to create a problem-solving brain storming session.
A2 Excited 2 b collaborating w/ HS Spanish T using graphic novels way 2 engage Ss! Ss chance 2 cr8 their own https://t.co/kt3GVcKD19
A2 comics/graphic novels are great options! Read between the panels/visual evidence teaches close reading well https://t.co/Y5H3QxqJy3
I want to learn how to do those!!
A2 Ss LOVE the concept mapping feature on especially my visual learners-thinking/sharing creatively https://t.co/Fek5209mHF
Yes my class website does too. Offer visual & auditory on website
A2: offers clean crisp page designs with lots of options for visual projects
one reason I'm not totally on board with rubrics
Thanks for the positive review! Excited to try it out this year!
Depends on what I'm reaching for. I used bridges when I presented on thanks to and his crew
Yes, but then I think we are "enabling" their shyness. No forcing. Encouraging & skill building. https://t.co/YUV7TpnvBx
but not every kid is going to share - just not part of their nature. provide other ways to show their knowledge
I think Padlet & Tackk are MUCH better than Glogster fwiw
A2- I enjoy making my anchor charts visually appealing 😊 (nope, not free hand, totally traced this) https://t.co/6VfFK37azq
A2 Open the class with an image to get them thinking about concepts to be learned; gives them something to reflect on
Great strategy for visuals and discussions. https://t.co/tJ9bICAhzl
A2: Chalk talks work well. We do them on butcher paper and on "whiteboard walls."
A2: Creating videos with and . Postermywall just create an Edu version. will have a Ss version soon.
A2: using lots of manipulatives! Seeing what they create. Sketchnotes. Anchor charts.
A2 also having students creating book covers at end of unit project including plot structure, setting, theme, etc.
I've found this to be powerful. I try to start class with an image/video to hook their attention. https://t.co/YDU99s6dMk
A2: I avoid unnecessary words on presentations but add many pics/key images to remember. Provide images so Ss can recall info.
better that Google Slides or any other preso platform, Jay? Only tinkered - what's your fave part?
no doubt brains are working! Ts need to understand that Ss are working even if "not participating"...need to know Ss!
I am in the early stages of learning how to craft them but I absolutely love them as a Tech tool.
I have played around with a lot and can't wait to try it out with Ss this year! https://t.co/95ixaSOb8m
A2: I love using Adobe Spark. Visual but also VERY cool presentation
Strategy from the resource Making Thinking Visible.
AVATARS! I find Ss who are shy and/or introverted blossom with avatars!
I would also add - watch their actions, they speak volumes, https://t.co/iT2lMPuSuW
A1 Create a safe classroom community & encourage to share in mode they prefer. Listen when they do talk, it's likely to be deep
I'm doing a full MS class with nothing but that right now.
A2 Kahoot, sign language, visual cues, anchor charts
A2 Really old school, but simply having maps open and on the walls helps Ss to visualize; my HS Ss LOVE maps. Heck, I love maps :)
being introverted is NOT a condition that needs to be "fixed"
That it's used for driving on? Like cars?
A2 Cr8d Chem mentor text lesson w/ Chem T! Ss loved being able 2 use texts as opportunity 2 write their own https://t.co/pcPPVmDSff
A2: use other students as models to share their work
Then you think it's a bridge to nowhere, right? But if it's a footbridge ... endless possibilities await.
I don't need anything else to check out, but now I'm curious!
definitely,seriously solved so much for my ss and I,get messages each day/wknd, can answr Q whn they have them
A2: Ss love pictures, videos, props, art, posters, infographics, comics
A2: great for upper level Ss visual learners and behavior
. or different with one group of peers than another...I'm very intro or very extro depending on what's going on.
Love learning from all of you while I munch on these cookies! Thank you for all of your sharing. Such wisdom in tonight!!
A book on much reading list, thanks Teresa
Is it an app? or a technique? I've seen example and they all look very creative and well drawn.
That is my son, too! When I first saw your turtle meme I thought: I bet he wishes for that most days!
I got it! I was thinking I had to change my mind about what a bridge traditionally used for. LOL
A3: has anyone mentioned timelines ? Have a favorite platform for creating them?
hands down. Powerful visuals, minimum words, Creative Commons licenses. Lights out.
A2. As we study this year we will be projecting poems up on board at the same time Ss have copies at desks. They can listen and follow
Yes! So excited 2 b doing this in Spanish class! I look forward 2 learning from Ss! https://t.co/2sCZgcyfmy
graphic Novels are great and can really help students that struggle with reading content
Exactly! I mean, do we WANT classrooms full of Hemoines?
https://t.co/e7PJYVsMlQ
no doubt brains are working! Ts need to understand that Ss are working even if "not participating"...need to know Ss!
I have so many tabs open all the time, it's a bit out of control. ;)
Amen! We need to value each student and what they bring to the classroom! and to the world. https://t.co/zUFAW2X54a
being introverted is NOT a condition that needs to be "fixed"
I am on it for my next presentation - thanks!
I jut started Canva. Still learning.
its an art classroom. So I see his logic.
A2:. I've always been fascinated with the idea of instead of having S's just create posters... Have them create infographics.
some activities you really have to put yourself out there
Totally agree, I found to be glitchy & way too many bells & whistles.
a way for a person to take notes that incorporates pics not just billets and words.
yeah, I need to check this out.
A2 and for visual learning ranging from infographic to slide show to presentation to collaboration
it takes a while to get the hang of it! The kids are better than I am.
Agreed, but conversation, collaboration, discussion, & debate are crucial parts of edu. Help ALL kids share. https://t.co/yWBy8QvCNy
being introverted is different than being shy, though.
introvertedsonmoms unite!!
A2 Ss making phrase strips of examples and favorite passages.
Live teaching what happens between the frames. There is A LOT to the graphic novel
tiki-toki is super pretty. timetoast works too
That's it for me guys. Sorry I can't stay. I will leave behind my https://t.co/9dv2xVfajM hoping for $1 more tonight.
Everyone have a great night.

Night Ryan -- thanks for being here!
A3. Guidelines about sources. Corroborated sources. Etc.
A3 National Archives is a great resource
I had my Ss create vocab memes. The first few in are hilarious. Glad I chose this route.
This can be your answer for Q4 too.
I agree. As SPED P, I want my daughter to be brought out of her shell & learn to advocate for herself
A3: I have to say, I know the basics etc, but if I really need to know if it's valid and true I go to
sign of a great chat--> a million tabs open!
A3 EVERY STUDENT SHOULD KNOW GOOGLE REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH!
They need to find a good extroverted friend. :) We've got their backs!
A3: I've seen/used sites made to show invalid and valid sites...need to model the process of finding out valid sites!
A3: I am loving all the tools being shared. I love Alan November and his ways of showing kids how to use google...

A3 EVERY STUDENT SHOULD KNOW GOOGLE REVERSE IMAGE SEARCH!

A3. is always fun to check certain anecdotal evidence.
Got to see Alan November speak live last year, awesome!
And slow updates I am like 30 sec behind
A3: Validating online info is a tough one for adults too
A3: the first result on google usually is best... 😂 Not serious. Teach them how to read results from a search is useful.
A3: I will admit, I am learning more on this question than I am sharing! Thanks!
How could get a copy of all of these resources at the end of the chat? https://t.co/WKDVbGIr3P
Me too! I'm taking so many notes, I don't have time to answer!

And examine how fake news sites are "built" to look legit! https://t.co/w1Ablm2KPl
A3: I've seen/used sites made to show invalid and valid sites...need to model the process of finding out valid sites!
Now that is a great pirate hook!
It's a delicate balance, but great Ts empathize & support AND nudge & suggest. Gently move all kids forward & beyond.
Hi Monica! Glad you could make it! (how many weeks until Supergirl is back?)
it amazes me that many of my college Ss don't know how...
A3) wait, everything you read and see on the internet isn't true and needs to be validated?!
you can pull all the resources together by using
A3 I recently had students answer Q, and compare, also refer to
That's hilarious, Mackenzie! have lots of great resources & tools!
that's why I can hardly stand Facebook anymore. meh.
Me too! I'm gathering info on A3
agreed. Shyness is a whole different thing than being introverted. I don't think I'm enabling
A2 Create new ideas with infographics, posters, create artifacts to solve a problem. Create new thinking.
Thanks for sharing. I know MANY people who would love 2 know about all of the sites that have been mentioned. https://t.co/3Ckx90vuOt
you can pull all the resources together by using
thanks Monica!! Great to see you!
A3 martinlutherking. Org is a good one for older students. The page fits all the "checks" for validity - but you have to look more...
That's right! You never know who wrote the article/post and what's their agenda.
So agree. We want to help the teachers as much as possible.
all I miss from Facebook is occasional party invites. My friends have my cell
It's still great but there are loads of others now too, which is great
Thank you. I am always amazed at the generosity of all who are here.
Love such a great way for Ss to create professional looking content. That and
I resemble this remark! LOL.
That's what these chats are for! Best PD around. :)
still blown away by teachers that don't credit images
Love how it's split now. Spark & Post app/online & video. Easy for Ss to create.
Being a great teacher is always about balancing between opposites https://t.co/oNp06D8u0Y
It's a delicate balance, but great Ts empathize & support AND nudge & suggest. Gently move all kids forward & beyond.
I can't take credit, a friend gave it to me.
I could spend hours making up fun and fake stuff to mess with my colleagues. Thanks for that! https://t.co/vFUKGIhyg5
A3: Rely on databases provided by the district (and librarians). Practice with this throughout the year, not just when papers are due.
as an art person we have a hard time getting peers to teach image copyright as plagiarism
I recommend this site often.
Thanks Brian! I was so worked up when I wrote that...
So many tools, so many tabs open...just can't keep up. ;)
Our librarian is great at getting Ss to use valid sources.
This is one of my all-time favorite memes!
A1: Small group talks and use of technology are great enablers for students who are not comfortable to speak to the whole class
Hi Julie, just realized is on tonight not taking a holiday break.
there are a lot of great resources being shared on right now, can you help curate them?
Such an important thing, though! Keep up the good fight!
A3: checking both sides of a news story
Think change in access and ease are seen as hurdles.
Saw all the librarian shout outs on tonight and had to join in! Watching for Q4 :)
I ask All my students Creative Commons for use of any pictures etc.
...pretty sure you'll like Q4 then. :)
A3: Many school districts support vetted digital content providers managed by your
Yes!Ss can discover & share observations about credible sources before we identify benchmarks for credibility. https://t.co/zr6gzMMduS
Question...do you prefer the term Media Specialist or Librarian? Just curious?
Sigh. I talk to my Ts all the time abt & the amzing PD/resources frm everyone here. I get excuses. Take the dive people!
Lego with undergrads tomorrow, Quinn - building the 10 themes of SS - should be great again, thanks to you
Are you saying news is skewed???!!! Whaaaat? LOL. checking around is a definite must!
Q4 What are research tools you use within your discipline?
I just don’t understand why people resist. I have some folks like that as well. Such an amazing group! https://t.co/YUirbOM8Ia
Sigh. I talk to my Ts all the time abt & the amzing PD/resources frm everyone here. I get excuses. Take the dive people!
we are called library media specialists in my district, but I am not partial to any title, really!
Heck yes. Let me know what they come up with. With pictures. Or just mail me boxes of LEGO. https://t.co/ZMXDexHCQI
Lego with undergrads tomorrow, Quinn - building the 10 themes of SS - should be great again, thanks to you
Teaching is like flying kite! You need to pull the string back and let go at the right time to let your kids soar heights
Agreed!! That's when they get to showcase their thinking. That's the actual learning part 😊 https://t.co/wXyQD7pmZ6
It's Methods Like a Pirate, Dave - the only way to do it! Can't wait to have you join the class in Rocktober
A4: I use google search engine tips and tricks by Alan November. This is definitely a subject to learn @.
A4 I could really use some advice on this! Research tools, guys?
A4 Bookmarked resources for 6 years using https://t.co/4dz19DkIzC so I can access them anywhere, share easily, & quickly grab
we will set that place on fire!
A4 for personal research I have been using Twitter and hashtags
A4 - Google Research Tool for starters.
Check out my lesson "I Approve of this Message" about political advertising and techniques of influence. https://t.co/5nt4yENbHb
A4: research tools, primary source images
A4 Science-Rice University, NASA, National Archives, Discovery Channel for Kids, Biology4Kids, Ducksters, Stemscopes
A4: everything from Google advanced search to academic databases. Ss need to know when to approach each based on info need
A4: Besides Google search, is awesome for rated apps, asking Twitter peeps for suggestions They're the experts!
A4 As Instruc Coach/Rdg Spec, I try 2 give Ss wide variety of research choices so they can determine what they need 2 b successful
A4 I find great stuff just searching on here
When 'technology' is not available, empathy & authentic praise help to get shy students talk?
A4 is the master here, - are two essential tools to our projects
Heading out early tonight. Have many great first days tomorrow!
A4: the products are awesome now because they integrate with Google apps for education. Save articles right to drive!
A4: Google is the first go to - I've used and if I'm really stuck, I go to and check out his lists
that's a well used gelli plate my friend!
Tweetdeck is a major life saver!
A4. Primary and secondary sources: Chernow's bio of Hamilton & comments &footnotes on own music https://t.co/cyztpnMMX6
Another size of this, the Google Slides collaboration is shared with all my Ss!
A4: this is my 2nd year at my grade level so I'm expanding out my resources this year...still need to use most! I'm still learning!
A4: love Library of Congress for primary sources
A4: I'll also ask my members for suggestions. I trust the people in the field using these tools more than anyone else.

A4 Not much to add here, but great stuff here everyone! I'm taking note! :)

Off to bed, first day of school tomorrow!
A4 Google to start, National Geographic, NOAA, NASA, local news & papers, textbooks (keep a few a resources)
A4
sounds basic, but Google Books is a great preview tool for deep research - Ss can find an essential snippet or PS
Another tab open. :) side note, my maiden name is Matteson. So close.
A4: Admittedly I don't use it as much as I want, but I think is the best tool out there for research.
Tweetdeck saved me. I could not imagine life without it. Kept me organized.
A4: .gov .edu .org websites
...one of those things where I was asking the Q because *I* needed ideas.
A4: have Ss conduct their own research using Google forms. They collect and analyze data based on predictions and sources they've read
A4. Author interviews. ( Treasury website for info on Hamilton) wait... That keeps coming up. Yes, I have a problem.
And a great question it is!
A4b) In my history lessons, I also stress finding sources from BOTH sides of the topic.
A4: EasyBib Add-On for Google docs is always a crowd pleaser with high school students
Love Canva. Quick, clean designs, and just plain awesome.
A4 Databases are the rockstars. Please teach Boolean search tips. https://t.co/hYgDLYy9Yw
Q4 What are research tools you use within your discipline?
Teaching students about extensions other than .com is so important
*this* is why I'm glad you stuck around for Q4!
best wishes for a great first day
A4) I find Google Scholar is a fantastic resource for middle schoolers and up. What a game changer.
A4: & Institute are great sources too.
Even when Ts let go too soon, kids learn from stumbles, setbacks & struggles just as much as successes. Help 'em get back up.
I've heard of it, haven't dug in yet. I think it's time. https://t.co/oR9tcIEa9P
A4) I find Google Scholar is a fantastic resource for middle schoolers and up. What a game changer.

HA! I first read it as InstaGronk...and thought jeesh, I love the Pats, but really? ;)
I cant find Q4 so I'll guess
A4 Probably and . And there was this sea lion named Harold. He was cool.
I am too much in love with this already. Where have this been? Squeal.
A4 thx to will be using & Kidtopia - also love student led research through using &
with Really pestering for a interview
I show that, but I always preface it with: Google thinks they know MLA format; Your teacher ABSOLUTELY knows MLA format
A4 agreed - Google Scholar can be a game changer, moves Ss from "websites" to solid resources https://t.co/AFq8Uh1qY4
A4) I find Google Scholar is a fantastic resource for middle schoolers and up. What a game changer.
. Yes is excellent but remain a fan of for archiving, indexing, highlighting, annotating, etc
sea lion or walrus? I thought Harold was the walrus.
I did it a couple years ago, tough to keep updated but there's FUN stuff in there! =)
Hate to be rude ... but ... would you have any chocolate milk?
I love when they can take ownership in the data and the graphs become so much more meaningful
A4: As an Elem teacher I have so many disciplines, and thus many resources.
Science too! Always consider multiple pieces of evidence.
I clips & songs from it last year 4 fig Lang & theme. ❤️ it!

https://t.co/U87Yj72m99
Hate to be rude ... but ... would you have any chocolate milk?
Friends, have to call it a night. I need to finish PD activity 4 tomorrow! Loved the conversation!
My fourth grader tested the "zombie banana" YouTube video for his science project; great way to verify source too!
A4 easybib for one and the Internet
Another tool I like for collecting resources is you can find all the chats transcribed & so much more
. Agree is an amazing resource
it's one of those tools where if it was around while we were in college we would have been out...eh... Studying more.
A4 I like to ask the hive - contacts on Twitter/facebook often lead me to interesting answers and new questions.
Have to go- thanks for an awesome chat. I will go back and revisit the different tools people are using
Yes, it is. I wish that I did not have to go to sleep (btw, it is overrated).
Easy enough for 4th graders? We've been working with easel.ly for infographics
A4 Check out the databases avail to U using your public library card. You local Librarian would probably be glad to help your Ss.
wanna my class re: Hamilton and race?
Fake Q5 why haven't you bought 10 copies of 's book yet?
Do you have binders full of women?
This one is so appropriate for all of those who will start back to school tomorrow. Just had to share. https://t.co/o3v90ALav8
I'll allow the question, your honor.
https://t.co/PAVThEYKwA
Fake Q5 why haven't you bought 10 copies of 's book yet?
yes my own 4th grader just taught it to himself on my laptop
I'm selecting appropriate songs for my Ss! Started last year and those Ss come back and sing the songs! It works!
Q5: Google Drive & Classroom are my go-to tools.
So true! Love my library! Infinite resources https://t.co/qhnFVAjyKm
A4 Check out the databases avail to U using your public library card. You local Librarian would probably be glad to help your Ss.
I couldn't have possibly...studied...more in college.
Resources like that make me wonder why Ss need to purchase MLA books.
A5 Google forms and Canvas (our LMS). Don't have to chase down Ss who didn't submit (or worry that I've lost it!)
Love doing play-doh on the first day! Then I make a video & send it to parents!
https://t.co/geyYHe68tT
Kids love it!
We had 5th-7th graders use after a quick tutorial. Then set them loose!

Canvas is great. LOVE it so much more than Bb
A5: Not assigning busy work is the best approach
yes!!! That site is a go-to for sure!!
A5: Google Drive! Haven't used a jump drive in years! When I see someone using one, it makes me want to do a demo.
Q5 - Google Forms! Especially with the new quiz feature.
A5. Agree google drive has saved many educators countless hours - outstanding organization for teacher, schools, districts.
A5 Google Drive and Classroom basically my whole life on there and it all works so seamless together.
have you seen the lessons that does with playdoh!! AMAZING
A5 Hands down my makerspace. Ss use it all the time to tinker & create. They have choice of demo of know & use it a lot. Focuses Ss.
A5 Flubaroo and GoogleForms
jealous! Hook a sista up!! Lol
Thank you for the great chat tonight . It is a great way to start the work week. I hope you all have a terrific Tuesday.
The clean-up song (not Barney) is recommended so much. How do you create a 45 second clip? of what song?
A5: tools for sure! No unnecessary attaching anymore!
I am hoping that there is some sort of of the month program. I got my August copy, now I'm waiting..
A5) has really become a cornerstone of my classroom. So many tools loved by me, my Ss, and parents!
A5 google search engine and 's book
A5- Google Apps are life savers. Transformed and revolutionized my teaching.
. They really don't need to purchase the guides unless they're doing master's or doctoral work
That's what I said! My color coded folders make me happy. :)
noooo, but I'm gonna edu-stalk her until I do...
You too, Angie! Thanks for joining us!
A5 The copy+paste keystroke shortcut.
A5: Google drive and forms has streamlined a lot of work flow!
It's taken me 5 years to figure it out - just in time for my district to change to something else!
Thank you awesome ideas shared here tonight.
A5: Smore had made my letters home, meeting ideas, and even presentations so much easier
The Automator on a Mac is awesome. I converted 50 yearbooks from PDF to JPGs to create slideshow in under 2 hours
A5: not assigning homework
oh man, you really know how to get me *right here* with all the feels! Love ya!
A5: google drive has saved me time searching for files...but so has Twitter! It's great finding ideas Ts are willing to share!
Google Apps saved my sanity, bar none. Introduced that to the campus that I am currently at.
Thank you Julie for hosting.
I do enjoy pushing people away from their keyboards... "HERE JUST LET ME DRIVE"
Agreed! I have so many created! Since I work w/T's... I haven't used the quiz feature much yet.
A5: Google docs has been a lifesaver for me in terms of collaboration. Able to work with other teachers on it at the same time!
Right! This one is at our museum but ours is 121 plates big. Can't wait to see what our Ss create.
A5 Google forms was great for me last year; still working on learning more. Wish I could say the same for my district's LMS
A5 And also Drive, but that didn't just save busywork. That saved remembering where the hell I put everything.
We accept late submissions! No penalties in !
5am is rapidly approaching for Day 1 tomorrow- thanks for the great chat pirates!
and even then, when I forgot my book in my car, Purdue OWL was enough to get me through a quick citation!
Thank you for an awesome chat !! Have an amazing school year 😊🍎👍🏻
that's enormous. I love it.
Yes! & don't assign busy work for yourself as a teacher. Work smart, plan ahead, be flexible, reflect, refine. https://t.co/3QkYLW2P7I
A5: Not assigning busy work is the best approach
After what seemed like an endless battle, I finally got it at our school 3 yrs ago. No turning back
No homework in Elem works well too!
A5 -- Forms and drive are fantastic. Unfortunately, our district put the brakes on Google. What a difference.
You were awesome tonight! Thanks for a great chat! Good night pirates everywhere!
That's exactly what I say! Then I say...see that body icon at the top right, click that. Mind blown. :)
Thanks for a great chat to my You are and

Love this crew but the house has settled for the night & it's time for another episode of see you soon
Thx to Master the Media author, & author, for hosting tonight! to all who sailed w/them!
Absolutely. If I can't get it done in the 40 mins I have, is it worth it? Maybe, but more often, no.
Thank Meredith! but Quinn was my partner in crime! =)
can't beat chat - two of the best!
I think we may have gotten off topic from the chat. But addicts!
...that's top of my list too.
Thanks for playing, Laura!
Fast 'n Furious night!! Loved every minute! Have a terrific week everyone!
Oh God, Google Drive 4 sure. And something our district uses: Haiku

I'll give credit, he won't dare say anything. Or do you mean the blonde one?
ARRGH! I just realized it's Monday night. Missed my weekly inspiration. However, I was busy planning a fun presidential debate unit.
