Hi ClassDojo Friends! Monica from NYC joining the party a bit late! Hope everyone is having a great night :) 
 
 
 
- 
A2: the Ss often know more about the devices and they are so comfortable using them. It's natural to them 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A1 appletv and Chromecast  
 
 
 
- 
 All good! :D Happy for it to be  day!!
 
 
 
- 
A2: Classroom tech makes it possible for me to 'clone' myself! Differentiate, engage, plus it is what they need for their lives! 
 
 
 
- 
 Hi! Thanks! Great to be here :) 
 
 
 
- 
 So true!  It’s their second nature. 
 
 
 
- 
Q2 Students must feel comfortable creating and exploring with technology in order to be ready for their future careers 
 
 
 
- 
 A1 they are gonna have to use it in some way when they leave school so let's give them experience.
 
 
 
- 
A2 Our Ss are digital natives. We need to keep up to keep interest. Prepare them for the future &allow them choices 2 show success.
 
 
 
- 
A2 use of technology is just reality now... Ss learn the skills and proper use now for jobs and life later 
 
 
 
- 
 Hey Monica!! Having a good week so far?? 
 
 
 
- 
A2 Ss are always engaged when  is involved and its so easy to differentiate 
 
 
 
- 
A2 Students must feel comfortable creating and exploring with technology in order to be ready for their future careers 
 
 
 
- 
 A2 Ss live tech every day. They need to see it can be productive as well as entertaining. Student engagement=tech (sometimes :)
 
 
 
- 
A2: simple - it will be their lives - we have to meet them where they live.  
 
 
 
- 
 A1 and they are so much better at it than us!!
 
 
 
- 
 We do a lot of  lessons! lol 
 
 
 
- 
 Tech career readiness is crucial!  
 
 
 
- 
A2: Tech allows for higher level thinking opps through projects, , more f2f time with Ss who need additional help 
 
 
 
- 
 Hey Jenna! Busy so far, but good! You? 
 
 
 
- 
A2 to bring authentic learning  and real life into my classroom to connect and collaborate with the world 
 
 
 
- 
A2.    ooh my favourite hobby horse - responsibility to prepare 21C learners for demand of 21C workplace 
 
 
 
- 
A2: To help us teach for our students' future, not our past. 
 
 
 
- 
A1: iPad cart w/ class set I get 2xs/wk, 2 ipad minis daily, Apple TV, doc cam, projector  
 
 
 
- 
A2: It makes my life easier and I feel a buzz in the room when Ss are collaborating. 
 
 
 
- 
A2 Tech in the classroom provides more opportunities to differentiate with students. 
 
 
 
- 
 A1 Love our 1:1 iPads, computers, Smartboards, Elmo
 
 
 
- 
 A1 we need to make school as.close to life as we can as they switch off so easily anyway. relevant.
 
 
 
- 
A2:(part 2) nice side effect is that we learn SO much about tech with them - they keep me current! 
 
 
 
- 
A2: Ss speak the language of technology, we are all just trying 2 communicate w/ them in a familiar way. Tech helps 2 engage 
 
 
 
- 
 couldn’t agree more - even though i’m the “tech integrator” I have students teaching me things all the time! 
 
 
 
- 
 a2 because its not 1987 anymore 
 
 
 
- 
A2: Also tech allows for easier and faster feedback on student work through resources like Google docs, ClassKick 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
  I LOVE that collaborative buzz. We got it more today than ever and I'm so excited! (And exhausted)
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
A2 tech is the Ss life cann't leave home wthout it 
 
 
 
- 
a2 you teach in the way that is best suited to your students, they are comfortable with tech,, make use of that 
 
 
 
- 
  they know more than we do! I have kids showing me apps and projects they've done and we incorporate it!
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A2 allows to implement heutagogy as a solution for individual advancement 
 
 
 
- 
 A1 they need any.opportunitu to see the world.past the end of their nose. Only way to stop all this horrible going on
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 it does make it easier and faster! I do love that about tech.  The kids love it too :) 
 
 
 
- 
A3 hapara has helped with monitoring our kids use of their chromebooks, but mostly i monitor by moving around the room 
 
 
 
- 
A3 My eyes are everywhere. Plus, they lose 5  points for tech misuse if they abuse the privilege. 
 
 
 
- 
 I hear you there.  I love watching my Ss help one another with tech issues too. 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A3: 2 eyes and 2 feet I am always monitoring my kiddos 
 
 
 
- 
  helps us monitor tech too!  
 
 
 
- 
 Q3. A LOT of walking. Apps like  that allow me to approve entries.  that lets me keep pace.
 
 
 
- 
Monitoring tech in the classroom can be tricky. @ this point my students use tech for specific tasks that I can watch closely. 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 we use abtutor in the middle and senior school, iCybersafe week for teaching online safety, AUP’s 
 
 
 
- 
 A1 get off my butt and walk round. sit with my students. the teachers who have issues are still trying to teach from the desk
 
 
 
- 
A3: collaborative tools like classroom,  , constant watching, tech only used where I can see them (1/2) 
 
 
 
- 
 A2 We are helping Ss see the possibilities of tech! Are kindergarteners are even coding!  
 
 
 
- 
Greetings@ sry I'm late! Stormy, 1st Grade from Texas 
 
 
 
- 
a3 try to angle students with screens facing towards the centre of the classroom 
 
 
 
- 
 Gotta learn somewhere. I've never had to do it more than once for the same Ss. 
 
 
 
- 
A3: this is tricky - use of history - screen checks - gaggle but also expectations and honor system  
 
 
 
- 
 Welcome!  Glad you could join us! 
 
 
 
- 
A3 Being present with my students. Jump in and be a part of their tech experience! 
 
 
 
- 
A3 Hold Ss accountable, teach responsible use, have clear consequences if they misuse, I monitor but they monitor each other too. 
 
 
 
- 
A3 I don't really monitor, I do give feedback on their tech choices  
 
 
 
- 
 I like to assign tasks through  to help me monitor what my students are doing.
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
a3 stages of behaviour and consequences document 
 
 
 
- 
Clear expectations are key!   https://t.co/6B3SiCs0QR
- 
 - 
A3 Hold Ss accountable, teach responsible use, have clear consequences if they misuse, I monitor but they monitor each other too. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 
A3 I am constantly roaming and we have lanschool too.  I love sending positive ims to my. Ss 
 
 
 
- 
A3 (2/2) try to give feedback AS they are working, they risk losing tech privilege for miss use. Discuss how valuable the tech is 
 
 
 
- 
A3: setting expectation up front and monitoring heavy at the beginning helps me be able to back off some later  
 
 
 
- 
 a3 and offer trust in the first instance, gives grtr opportunity for sts to show how they can make good choices 
 
 
 
- 
 A3 My Ss understand the importance of tech and usually do what they are told. If not they lose the privilege of tech
 
 
 
- 
 Yes! Clear expectations are so important for success :D 
 
 
 
- 
A3: Monitoring begins with constant convo about being digital citizens, everyday, but assigning fun lessons keeps them on task too 
 
 
 
- 
 Yup. Time to grow up kids!  
 
 
 
- 
 I hope some of my ECS people are lurking tonight! 
 
 
 
- 
 i don’t think tech should be a privilege.  you wouldn’t take away worksheets if someone scribbled across it? 
 
 
 
- 
A3: teaching digital citizenship there is a time and place for everything  
 
 
 
- 
Q4 coming up!  Learning a lot already!  
 
 
 
- 
A3 try to find systems that monitor performance and activity, or have students have someway to prove work done 
 
 
 
- 
 Ive had to take privileges only two times this year.  They learn pretty quick what is acceptable. 
 
 
 
- 
 a3 how can you take away tech privileges when that is how they work? would. you take their work book off them? ?
 
 
 
- 
A3: Wish I could monitor CB screens... Monitor by setting up "approved sites" in 'About' section of GClassroom, Ss sign contracts 
 
 
 
- 
  I disagree. They need to learn to respect technology. We all learn from mistakes. 
 
 
 
- 
 they sure do. And the alternate activity is NEVER as interesting or engaging ;) 
 
 
 
- 
A3 I let my Ss check/text when direct instruction is not taking place. If  abused it phone is mine for the rest of the class  
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
Yes! Those conversations are so important.  We want to grow and empower responsible digital citizens!  https://t.co/SD2E8LSQcO
- 
 - 
A3: Monitoring begins with constant convo about being digital citizens, everyday, but assigning fun lessons keeps them on task too 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 
A1 have 20 iPads 22 students smartboard 1 PC 2 Osmos 
 
 
 
- 
 ILOVE the  app. I use it almost everyday.
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A3 tech is a not a privilege but a instrument of and for learning 
 
 
 
-

- 
  The dreaded "alternative assignments!" 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A4 My Ss LOVE GClassroom,  , , &  
 
 
 
- 
A4: Google classroom has helped streamline the use of docs/slides/sheets. I love   frontrow ed,  
 
 
 
- 
 I also set up a YOUTUBE channel for math help. https://t.co/SLMhl14aVV It's not as up to date as I'd like but kids&parents use it
 
 
 
- 
 I know that feeling - mine change too! 
 
 
 
- 
 A4 big fan of Google. sites as my students all make online design portfolios on Google. sites

 That’s great!  97% of parents! WOW! 
 
 
 
- 
A4 So many great apps and websites, depends on age  of course! Love  and Ss do too.  MoreStarfall is fun too. 
 
 
 
- 
   1st of all, , however sometimes worksheets w/ purpose are helpful. 
 
 
 
- 
A4: like  in small groups but not whole class. Love readworks 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 I've also started using  in my classroom. Great for collecting survey data
 
 
 
- 
A4:  is like Kahoot but the Qs are on each Ss devices 
 
 
 
- 
I forgot about  & ! It's so hard to keep up with all the good stuff.   https://t.co/4BCRPttrOE
- 
 - 
A4: My favs change but NOW I'm loving , ,  for math 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 
A4 contd. I use Edmodo, Kahoot, and Padlet. I want to to try Google Classroom. 
 
 
 
- 
we have a choice 'paper' classroom or 'project' classroom. behavior dictates    
 
 
 
- 
A4: Also love  (similar to Kahoot) but ?s are at Ss pace, , and  (coding app) 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
Well said. IMPT for Ts to meet when Ss are. For many Ts, we're just trying to keep up w them.  https://t.co/SA67134Jfs
- 
 - 
A2: Ss speak the language of technology, we are all just trying 2 communicate w/ them in a familiar way. Tech helps 2 engage 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
   I by NO means like WSs, but sometimes they are helpful. 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 A4  is one of the first apps I used right when It first came out. Epic, Classkick so many great apps
 
 
 
- 
   Ohh, it's great! Musical information!! 
 
 
 
- 
printer broke 2 months ago...gotten creative with digitizing, no turning back! @smithstrws   
 
 
 
- 
   I heard its lots of fun! I need to try that one too! 
 
 
 
- 
  has just been introduced to  gave my first assignments on it today. I really like it's ease of use.
 
 
 
- 
 The 3% doesn't have Internet access so I print their reports weekly.
 
 
 
-

 -- doing an amazing job moderating tonight! This chat is on fire! 
 
 
 
- 
A5 We've been using  in conjunction w/  to collaborate on writing. 
 
 
 
- 
 Q5 working on real-world problems with no "right" answer. Presenting creative projects.
 
 
 
- 
 A1 I like having them collaborate on Google drawings. one of.my faves.
 
 
 
- 
   is great! We used it school-wide. Kids enjoyed it.  Great for targeting specific needs. 
 
 
 
- 
A5 leaving feedback on digital portfolios (we use artsonia), commenting and creating collaborative powerpoints/documents 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
A5: Depends on the assignment that my Ss are working on. Google Docs Google anything is great! 
 
 
 
- 
A5b We also use  to collaborate in groups. 
 
 
 
- 
A5: GAFE is great for collaborating! Plus often have kids use 1 chromebook per group so they don't all go into their own screen 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 I rarely use worksheets I have tons of stations and use Daily 5
 
 
 
- 
A5 Sometimes I keep it simple, just having them work on a project together and research a topic is great exercise in collaboration 
 
 
 
- 
A3 Pairing students up and building a trust system between the students. Students helping each other is key. 
 
 
 
- 
A4 contd I can't wait to try some of the great resources being shared. 
 
 
 
- 
We are a windows school so we'd have to use  instead of GAFE. 
 
 
 
- 
A5 GDrive is the ultimate for collab in my room. Ss have room for creativity + sharing means I can monitor/edit/assess as needed 
 
 
 
- 
a5 respnd to   journals,  peer assignments, through  , email me homework  has blogs now! 
 
 
 
- 
  ❤️ google docs! Talk about collaboration.

 Thanks for the shoutout! We're in good company!! 
 
 
 
- 
A5: GAFE is the bomb diggity for collaboration! 
 
 
 
- 
a5 deep projects that take extended periods of time to complete, independent tasks that contribute to finished product 
 
 
 
- 
  That's a big one with teachers at my school too.  Large ESL population so we use it a lot.  
 
 
 
- 
A5 Research projects and coding. Students using teamwork to help each other build computer science skills. 
 
 
 
- 
A5: collaborating this week with  our Ss sent each other math tasks for the  so fun! 
 
 
 
- 
 Coding is great!  What are your favorite sites/apps? 
 
 
 
- 
 We've been using  lately 💖 using any of the free drawing apps for Ss to collaborate
 
 
 
- 
A5 students comment and collaborate with shared googledocs and  portfolio, parents have access to  and   
 
 
 
- 
A5 2/2 latest project is working with  to make student created magic happen! 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 I've never really gotten the hang of . I must be missing something.

A5 Research projects and coding. Students using teamwork to help each other build computer science skills. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
   I feel the same way. Would love to try it but can't seem to get it 
 
 
 
- 
 I’m doing a coding club at my school too!  We should figure out some sort of collaboration between schools! 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 
- 
 I agree easy for Ss to input their own ideas  
 
 
 
- 
A5 Google docs & presentations.  I also have my students respond to each other in small guided reading groups in Edmodo. 
 
 
 
- 
  where do you find Ss coding?
 
 
 
- 
A5 I also have a rule in my classroom in terms of tech use, always ask a classmate when you need help, before you as the teacher.  
 
 
 
- 
  really wanted to start a coding club, but alas...maybe next year. 
 
 
 
- 
A6 , , and  are great for differentiation! 
 
 
 
- 
  I’d be happy to help in any way possible! I’m learning this year! 
 
 
 
- 
 that would be great!Bringing in programmers from Mutual of Omaha.Collaborating would be great and helping our students.
 
 
 
- 
A6: my favorite for this one is  - amazing differentiation in math made so easy 
 
 
 
- 
A6: I use tech daily to my lessons in some way shape or form to allow Ss alternatives to learning so all needs are met (hopefully) 
 
 
 
- 
 what grade? I teach 7th ELAR and wonder if Daily 5 would improve engagement

- 
 Q6 front row is AMAZING for differentiation
 
 
 
- 
Q6 student created products are created at ind. levels and all feel success! Best reason to Int. Tech, Individualized leaning 
 
 
 
- 
 couldn’t agree more - I’ve learned so much through Twitter - one of the most powerful PDs 
 
 
 
- 
 
- 
me too! would love to set something up   
 
 
 
- 
  let me know what I can do to help. My goal is having every elementary in my district to have a coding club. 
 
 
 
- 
A6 is filled with great differentiation tools!  Favorite ones you want to try! 
 
 
 
- 
  any resources to get them started?
 
 
 
- 
  Yes!  The more the merrier! Anyone else want to collaborate on coding??? 
 
 
 
- 
  yes! Student projects where they can work at their level!
 
 
 
- 
 so many great ideas floating by, gotta catch them all
 
 
 
- 
  for me it's just having enough of a handle on the 'other' stuff to feel like I can get it going. THanks!

- 
A7: Good academic content is meaningful in any form. Tech allows me to differentiate that content to their needs. 
 
 
 
- 
we meet Tues afternoon. let's have club make video introducing themselves and share with other clubs

- 
  we meet Tuesday and Thursdays!  This would be great!  I love it! 
 
 
 
- 
   let's figure out a date soon to all collaborate and share resources! Student learning. 
 
 
 
- 
A7: If it is done correctly..absolutely! 
 
 
 
- 
A7 if it's used purposefully then absolutely! 
 
 
 
- 
 A7 if it has a purpose! If not, it's no different than than a worksheet. Student growth and engagement is key

- 
A7 Yes! Who wants to read a boring textbook anyway! With purpose and thoughtful planning it can engage them in so many ways 
 
 
 
- 
  we are using code monkey island board game and the Sphero to code!  
 
 
 
- 
A6 I have my Ss create an ad, poster, or review in Google docs/draw/presentation to get others interested 
 
 
 
- 
  I just ordered two Spheros!!! So excited!

- 
 I've never used Google Docs with my fifth graders...think that needs to change 
 
 
 
- 
  we code have out students talk about what they use to program (code) during video!  something simple
