A5 - In my class we did video interviews with classmates. Fun way to get Ss talking with each other and comfortable w/ tech #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Sep 7 @ 11:44 PM EDT

A5: When I taught 4th grade we'd always play "Guess Ms Kauerz's Secrets" so the kiddos could learn about me. #utedchat

covili - Moderator Sep 7 @ 11:44 PM EDT

@MsEhuber Love to know more about the Mindset lesson #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 7 @ 11:44 PM EDT

Q5 For the first time in 8 years I don't have any students. 😢 But we're starting an EdTech Endorsement at @sedc_ut. #UTedChat

EdTecHakk Sep 7 @ 11:44 PM EDT

A5: As CRTeacher my fav day1 task was having kids make Google Slides about themselves and putting them together in a slideshow #utedchat

missplott Sep 7 @ 11:45 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk glad to see that I'm not the only one who loves this part of back to school!! #UTedChat

covili - Moderator Sep 7 @ 11:45 PM EDT

@DaniKSloan Did the subject of nachos come up? What about your “little” fears? #UTedChat

erica_laufer Sep 7 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A5: hold nothing back & let my craziness out during disclosures then 2nd day let students describe me by looking at my classroom #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 7 @ 11:45 PM EDT

I get the idea shopping wasn't YOUR choice, but that someone else pushed you into it. 😜 #UTedChat https://t.co/FoOvSe6VB8

JulieAllenTHS Sep 7 @ 11:45 PM EDT

A5 - I stole a lesson from @brooksby "Look what I did in 6 minutes!" Object lesson - My students LOVED it. #UTedChat https://t.co/5xxDNI949L

michelle_zey Sep 7 @ 11:45 PM EDT

@lars3eb FALSE. I like shopping less than @EdTecHakk #utedchat

MrJFawson Sep 7 @ 11:46 PM EDT

@covili A5 memorized every students name. Best way to start the year #utedchat

jamesballif Sep 7 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A5 One thing we do in our ETEP classes for teachers is a shared Google Slide introducing themselves. I miss having my own class!😞#utedchat

FarrBfarr Sep 7 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A5 - When I was in the classroom I always did "Fact/Fiction"-fun way to Ss to share interesting things about themselves/summer #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Sep 7 @ 11:46 PM EDT

@covili Of course and inappropriate. 😂 #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 7 @ 11:46 PM EDT

Really @michelle_zey? I totally thought you pushed @EdTecHakk into getting new clothes. I was SOO wrong. #UTedChat

A5: All About Me videos using Adobe spark. Now they can use that tool throughout the year. #UTedChat

missplott Sep 7 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A5: when I had Ss we did name games & partner interviews to get to know each other. Still weird not having my own class sometimes #UTedChat

MsEhuber Sep 7 @ 11:47 PM EDT

@qhenderson , sounds amazing! I want to do a #breakoutedu so badly! #UTedChat

covili - Moderator Sep 7 @ 11:47 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk @michelle_zey What about cowboy hats? You picked out a great one for sure! #UTedChat

Q6 - What are your strategies for having students share their summer experiences in class? Essay: What I Did on my Summer Vaycay? #utedchat

FarrBfarr Sep 7 @ 11:52 PM EDT

Interns/1st yr Ts I work with watched the below link/ write a letter to their "Future Self" prior 2 day 1 #UTedChat https://t.co/l8nXpgurz7

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 7 @ 11:52 PM EDT

A6 I liked to have my Ss make posters using markers & paper! Oh no, an #analog assignment! But then present & share pics online. #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Sep 7 @ 11:53 PM EDT

A6: We'd use a filmstrip template and make cartoon movies about our summer, then have a "Summer Memories Film Festival." #utedchat

erica_laufer Sep 7 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6: I had Ss fill out a Twitterish form at first then just went to a class convo I started with how ms.laufer almost died hiking #utedchat

missplott Sep 7 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6: we used to make class books "how I spent my summer vacation" - now it would probably be done on google slides! #UTedChat

UENpd Sep 7 @ 11:54 PM EDT

jamesballif Sep 7 @ 11:54 PM EDT

I am hoping to have kids write questions in @GetKahoot or @quizizz about there summer vacation. #utedchat

JulieAllenTHS Sep 7 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6 - I make them hand write a few sentences about summer, and we guess who said what. I should turn it into a #Kahoot game! #UTedChat
