creativeclc Apr 20 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1 in the younger grades, or any grade, students learn and delve deeper when talking amongst one another #mesqchat

elProfMejia Apr 20 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1B #mesqchat communication shapes learning. Effective comm is key for evidence of learning to shine & come to the surface. It's at its root

MKessnerEdD Apr 20 @ 9:19 PM EDT

NMHSFashion Apr 20 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2: Ss like to use it and thing. Fail was assuming I knew what it was. Make sure I clarify it's, this's and things. #mesqchat

sknighttech Apr 20 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Active listening is a goal of mine (printed on my computer). I must slow down & focus on the speaker to be a better communicator! #mesqchat

In reply to @bcookie99

romenendez14 Apr 20 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A Relationships & safe environment is vital. Ss have 2B able to say, "this isn't working" &know that I value feedback&will change. #mesqchat

We have to listen to listen, not to reply or fix. I have to work on that. #mesqchat

A4 @DiscoveryEd hosts amazing free Google Hangouts that are Live. You watch& send questions, they might be answered. #geturfeetwet #mesqchat

For elem the kids need to practice questioning, esp. ELLs. Forming questions are hard and then having wait time to answer. #mesqchat

A4 Skype with authors for World Read Aloud Day for free. I hustled and 5 classes had authors read a story & answer their ? #mesqchat

KBrandtedu Apr 20 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2: that was a huge moment for me bc I never stopped to ask if it made sense- thank god she stopped me & was willing to help me #mesqchat

Q1(A) People have many different ways of communicating, we have to know different ways in order to pass on information #mesqchat #jayrpride

A4: I started with @padlet and Classroom to teach stus how to respectfully post. We then moved to class blogs across MISD. #mesqchat

elProfMejia Apr 20 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A4 I'm going to respond w/ a pic & video. Had to leave my classroom for another country 2 days but I'll bring lesson on volcanoes #mesqchat

DannyFTaylor Apr 20 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A5 - we have to plan and allow students the opportunity. Open up and let them discover different ways to communicate! #mesqchat

HargrovesAllie Apr 20 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A4 We should also teach Ss how to 'behave' online...communicate with manners and morals. S's don't understand impact of the web #mesqchat

tpreuninger Apr 20 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A5 For me personally, I'd like to put my phone down and engage in more face to face convos, modeling best practices #mesqchat

Woohoo! Can finally join the fun #mesqchat #gradschool #teachertired

RLRogers22 Apr 20 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A5 - The biggest thing is for teachers/adults to be quiet long enough to give the students opportunities to communicate. #mesqchat

RLRogers22 Apr 20 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@Storybird is one of my favorite things ever! Set up accounts for my Ss 5 years ago and several still use them. #mesqchat

A5: I think it starts with good convo in the classroom, then take that out beyond the walls of the class #mesqchat

em_simmons3 Apr 20 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A5: #mesqchat teaching & modeling + digital citizenship, giving them the opportunity to post & see just what tech can do for their voice

KWarnick13 Apr 20 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A1a Communication is always important. We need to know how our Ss are doing emotional and academically & how our teaching is #mesqchat

creativeclc Apr 20 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A5: talking face to face in class. Kids now are all about tech and they need to have skills talking face to face with others too #mesqchat

CrystalCMusic7 Apr 20 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Q1.B effective communication = effective learning; ineffective communication can lead to misunderstand of materials #mesqchat #jayrpride

DannyFTaylor Apr 20 @ 9:54 PM EDT

We have to model what we want to see. #mesqchat

NMHSFashion Apr 20 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Take time to teach good communication. Teach difference formal and informal communication and when and where to use them. #mesqchat

KWarnick13 Apr 20 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A1b If we don't communicate, we might as well be blind. We don't know how our classroom is progress if we don't ask and/or listen #mesqchat

romenendez14 Apr 20 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A5 More and more I want kids to know that "text" write is not an acceptable form of com when we share digitally. #dontlolroflbrb #mesqchat

sknighttech Apr 20 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@storybird has evolved and even allows Ss to create book collaboratively. Beautiful art available as well #mesqchat

A5-Citizenship skills and Ts model how to listen, ask ?s, respond to others digitally or not. Actions speak louder than words. #mesqchat

Buffkota Apr 20 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A4 It's not harnessing the technology as much as teaching Ss dig citizenship so not to worry about dangers communicating globally #mesqchat

romenendez14 Apr 20 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A5 Lately Ive been asking Ss to "share what's going on in their genius brain" that seems to motivate, so I want to do more of it. #mesqchat

RLRogers22 Apr 20 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Truth! I would love to teach a few adults about this, too! #mesqchat

Q3: the best teachers always had a way of making me think I came up with all the ideas in the 1st place. @MISDiTech #mesqchat

KWarnick13 Apr 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A2 A miscommunication had almost broken a bond between a Ss & me. However, we developed a strong relationship we could talk it out #mesqchat

Love it! Practice what you preach! #mesqchat

CrystalCMusic7 Apr 20 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Q2. Anytime you fail you will some kind of learning from that experience! You will communicate better in the future #mesqchat #jayrpride

CrystalCMusic7 Apr 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT

Q3. Communication should not only happen from you (teacher) but from the students too! It should be an open dialogue #mesqchat #jayrpride

PHarrington_ Apr 20 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A5 Student writing with effective feedback from Ts and Ss is very important to building communication skills! #mesqchat

KWarnick13 Apr 20 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A3 During GP or IP I hang out with my Ss in their group & take the backburner I only speak when spoken to and clear misconceptions #mesqchat
