JonHeeren Jun 12 @ 8:03 PM EDT

Hi #mnlead, Jon from Farmington, I beat the heat by staying inside. #acisawesome Math T and tennis shoe aficionado.

bretdom - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:03 PM EDT

It was a yard work Saturday and golfing Sunday. Pretty balanced combo for me. A/C and showers needed in between. :) #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:03 PM EDT

@JonHeeren Great to see you here tonight, Jon. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:04 PM EDT

@millardamy2 Good evening, Amy. great to see you here. You’re right - these warm MN days have yielded some fantastic evenings. #mnlead

millardamy2 Jun 12 @ 8:05 PM EDT

@korytellers I was thinking about all those state track runners this weekend and hoping everyone was staying cool! #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:05 PM EDT

Question one coming up...#mnlead

korytellers Jun 12 @ 8:05 PM EDT

@bretdom Many summer nights I will sleep on our screened-porch. Love sleeping out in the fresh air. #mnlead

millardamy2 Jun 12 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@bretdom Great to be here! #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Q1) What are your favorite tech tools for communicating with others? #mnlead

jenhegna Jun 12 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@korytellers @bretdom We have a screened porch too! Best thing to battle those pesky mosquitos! #mnlead

kdgcallahan Jun 12 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@korytellers Lucky you. If it wasnt 95+ at night I wouldn't mind that! #mnlead

DerekRhodenizer Jun 12 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@bretdom A1: Twitter #mnlead

korytellers Jun 12 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@millardamy2 On Friday for the Class A they had a lightning delay, definitely cooled off after that. Yesterday was rough for sure. #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A.1 Nothing beats face-to-face. Always the best. #mnlead

millardamy2 Jun 12 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@mahillmann Nothing better than fires on MN summer nights! Glad to see you here! #mnlead

jenhegna Jun 12 @ 8:07 PM EDT

A1) Twitter, Google docs, Gmail, Facebook, Voxer are some of my Favs. My class is using Google Groups this summer! #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@mahillmann How about your favorite "Tech" tool? #mnlead

JonHeeren Jun 12 @ 8:07 PM EDT

We have iPads so it’s a multi tool thing. Twitter, Remind, schoology, email. Whatever the job needs. #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1.2 I appreciate iMessage, Google Hangouts, and Gmail. Also, the good ol’ phone call is great too. #mnlead

korytellers Jun 12 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 The usual suspects Twitter, Twitter DMs, emails, Facebook, a little bit of Voxer here and there. #mnlead

kdgcallahan Jun 12 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A.1 Twitter, Google, Gmail, Facebook #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@bretdom I appreciate iMessage, Google Hangouts, and Gmail. Also, the good ol’ phone call is great too. #mnlead x2

jenhegna Jun 12 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@JonHeeren Do you use twitter with S's? #mnlead

MJjbuck Jun 12 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Google Hangouts! We used it for home bound instruction! #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@DerekRhodenizer Check out the #unEarthED Podcast. It's short, to the point and very relevant to education. #mnlead

JonHeeren Jun 12 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@mahillmann what’s a phone call? #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@MJjbuck I did three teacher interviews using GHO last week. I have now hired two teachers w/o a Face to face. That's powerful! #mnlead

SPPS_Richardson Jun 12 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1: Today's meet @TodaysMeet is great for backchannels, twitterless Twitter chats, or long range conversations over a few weeks. #mnlead

millardamy2 Jun 12 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1) Twitter and Google Docs are probably my 2 favorites. Both center on collaboration and sharing. #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Great insight. Use the right approach for the communication need. #mnlead https://t.co/GZJs6cg8CQ

JonHeeren Jun 12 @ 8:07 PM EDT

We have iPads so it’s a multi tool thing. Twitter, Remind, schoology, email. Whatever the job needs. #mnlead

jenhegna Jun 12 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@JonHeeren @mahillmann I notice less and less phone calls - more texting, snapping, instagramming. (not sure its good thing) #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@jenhegna @JonHeeren I generally don’t call someone w/o texting them first. Seems more polite. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1 I learned more about #smore from this group. It's a nice creative tool for communications. #mnlead

korytellers Jun 12 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@jenhegna @JonHeeren @mahillmann Honestly, I think any tool that gets people communicating with each other is a good thing. I think+ #mnlead

kdgcallahan Jun 12 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@JonHeeren AH. How could I forget Remind? #mnlead

korytellers Jun 12 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@jenhegna @JonHeeren @mahillmann +about some of the texts shared between my daughters and I. Lots of love and honesty shared. #mnlead

JonHeeren Jun 12 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@jenhegna yeah, different account. Mostly for getting info out and reminders. They follow me, I do not follow back. #mnlead

korytellers Jun 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@mahillmann @jenhegna @JonHeeren I've had people Skype me w//out checking in first when I am with a class-that really annoys me. #mnlead

JonHeeren Jun 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@jenhegna it’s not. You can’t read tone of voice over text. #mnlead

jenhegna Jun 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@korytellers @JonHeeren @mahillmann I sometimes see ppl having 30 min text convo when could have been solved in 1 5 min phone call #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@bretdom Do you make an offer before meeting them in person? #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Don't forget we will be archiving the chat so you can review the tools too! #mnlead

JonHeeren Jun 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@bretdom learn me more about #smore #mnlead

JK_McMahon Jun 12 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: I agree with everyone that said Twitter. I have found you need to figure out the best way to contact. Each has a quickest route. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@mahillmann One I hired last year from West Virginia. Never met her in person until she arrived to sign. #mnlead

jenhegna Jun 12 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@JonHeeren Just the synchronous aspect of the phone/voice is very beneficial! #mnlead

millardamy2 Jun 12 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Texting over phone calls is the norm anymore...but sometimes it's necessary to talk and not text..#mnlead https://t.co/GrWEuetg88

jenhegna Jun 12 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@JonHeeren @mahillmann I notice less and less phone calls - more texting, snapping, instagramming. (not sure its good thing) #mnlead

korytellers Jun 12 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@jenhegna @JonHeeren @mahillmann Agreed,as I think Matt said, need proper tool for the job. I just don't think text is always bad #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@jenhegna @korytellers @JonHeeren Yes. The rule of ‘pick up the phone after 3 emails on the same topic’ should apply to texts too. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Question 2 coming up... #mnlead

jenhegna Jun 12 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@JonHeeren @bretdom I LOVE SMORE! And Canva is becoming my new go to tool too! #mnlead

angpotts Jun 12 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Slack is new favorite of mine for communicating. #mnlead

korytellers Jun 12 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@mahillmann @jenhegna @JonHeeren Being an early, early bird, I do like that I can get back to people at 4am, can't do that on phone. #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Q2) We've been talking about this already, but what is your “go to” tech tool you use when collaborating? #mnlead

jenhegna Jun 12 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@korytellers @mahillmann @JonHeeren Ya, there is def benefits. Like, I can communicate while I am in a meeting. But - should I be? #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:15 PM EDT

bretdom - Moderator Jun 12 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@jenhegna @JonHeeren That topic will be coming soon... #mnlead

JK_McMahon Jun 12 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A2 Always google docs, hangout, etc... Would love more insight on what else is out there. #mnlead

amythuesen Jun 12 @ 8:18 PM EDT

jenhegna Jun 12 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@JK_McMahon New tool! Biggest benefit? #mnlead

korytellers Jun 12 @ 8:19 PM EDT

JK_McMahon Jun 12 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@jenhegna It's collaborative post-it notes. We all work on the same "board" simultaneously. #mnlead

jenhegna Jun 12 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@amythuesen How do you use @trello - or what kinds of application do you find it beneficial? #mnlead

JennReichel Jun 12 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2. Google! I definitely have more to learn though. #mnlead

A2: I'm with the others - GAFE is so great for collaboration. #mnlead

Jonharper70bd Jun 12 @ 8:20 PM EDT

#mnlead a2. My go to tech tool is voxer when collaborating. There is something to be said for hearing a voice
