A1: I use the best possible tool anyone could use, @RemindHQ and the guardian email function through #googleclassroom #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:05 PM EDT

A1: Primary is email, but using #googleclassroom updates also. #wciledchat

baxter2g - Moderator Sep 27 @ 9:05 PM EDT

A1: I use newsletters, remind, Facebook page for my class and a twitter handle #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: Email, often through TeacherEase (our SIS) is my top way of communicating with parents. #wciledchat

mrhoades2 Sep 27 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Currently quarterly newsletter, periodic FB posts. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:06 PM EDT

. @tsuejohnson I am still waiting on about 25% of my Ss Ps to accept the #googleclassroom guardian email invite. #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:06 PM EDT

@baxter2g I have a class Twitter handle, but not many Ps follow. How did you get buy in from Ps? #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:06 PM EDT

@amber_heffner @ConstantContact @RemindHQ @twitter Tell me more about @ConstantContact #wciledchat

lmstump Sep 27 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1 communication from Ts desk is most read...however as a school we use @Skyward_Inc and @facebook #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@wpmsad Yeah. Mine aren't all using either. That's why email is still important at the moment. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:07 PM EDT

. @tsuejohnson @baxter2g I too will be curious on how to create more buy in. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1-We use conventional means, social media and I have begun using a weekly Smore as well. I am hoping to have more two way soon #wciledchat

baxter2g - Moderator Sep 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Also thinking of encouraging Ps to use it to for school info. #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@wpmsad @ConstantContact @RemindHQ @twitter It's a newsletter builder -not free but a good tool for building our newsletters #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT

. @memayer21 Smore huh. Do you post to it and they get the website link? #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@wpmsad @RemindHQ I use Remind for my track team but not the classroom. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

. @amber_heffner My MS principal @MSprincipalCW has started using @Storify for her weekly newsletters and its fantastic. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Q2: What do you use as your primary means of communicating with Ss? #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Through email quite a bit but I find they don't reply a lot. #googleclassroom private comments are great. F2F still best tho!#wciledchat

JLuvtoteach96 Sep 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Google Classroom and/or our LMS. #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Ss know they can email me and it goes right to my phone (I tell them cutoff is 9), but also #googleclassroom and Twitter. #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@lmstump Phenomenal idea, Lindsy! What a great way to share your school story! You should consider an @ice_il breakout on that! #wciledchat

mrhoades2 Sep 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2: For me,daily announcements. Tt using Remind, Dojo, traditional paper newsletter. #wciledchat

lmstump Sep 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 I record my morning announcements on voice memo with my iPhone and email it to Ts every morning to play #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2.2 - How can we get Ss to care more about or check email more frequently? #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: As a district, we just started using snapchat announcements, and it is going great! #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: #GoogleClassroom but a lot of emails from SS. Our HS has just started using Snapchat forannoucnements @tsuejohnson #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

.@c_johnson007 @tsuejohnson I want to know more about the @Snapchat announcements. #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@wpmsad Offer incentives for Ss who respond to an email within a time limit! #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT

. @tsuejohnson Pretty good idea! You are a walking good idea Traci. #wciledchat @JasonDanner71

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT

My son's Ts use @edmodo @ClassDojo & connecting in #GoogleDocs #wciledchat https://t.co/IlWakThgsT

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Q2: What do you use as your primary means of communicating with Ss? #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: Snapchat: We are rowvahs. You can add us and see our story. All are welcome. Only 2 vids now, but you will get the idea. #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2.2 I will start sending out email EC questions. Just fun history facts for them to look up. Anyone who answers gets EC. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:20 PM EDT

. @amber_heffner How with #GoogleDocs? #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@lmstump Not sure I would use it at that level. We use it for Ss, and I wouldn't encourage El Ss to join. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Pretty cool! #wciledchat https://t.co/CVDdUNNqnA

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: Snapchat: We are rowvahs. You can add us and see our story. All are welcome. Only 2 vids now, but you will get the idea. #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: Google classroom works for us. #wciledchat

VWitherell Sep 27 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: A classroom Google site - for K-5 tech classes. Will use Classroom for 4/5 soon #wciledchat

lmstump Sep 27 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2 As admin, I love getting google docs shared with me after writing prompts like..."if I were principal" #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:21 PM EDT

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:21 PM EDT

. @VWitherell Thanks for jumping in! #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@wpmsad She schedules time with them at night to help on their essays and they get on the #GoogleDoc together. Love this! #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:22 PM EDT

I will meditate on it later. #wciledchat https://t.co/AiUj7ic2m0

JLuvtoteach96 Sep 27 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@wpmsad "channel" @burgessdave and #tlap to think of a clever way that students would want to buy a ticket to open that email. :)

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@wpmsad @tsuejohnson @Snapchat Traci is really the mastermind behind it but the HS SS and some alumnus really like it. #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Was lurking, but cannot stay away for long. @wpmsad #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:22 PM EDT

She has great Ss buy in huh! #wciledchat https://t.co/vaT8LGs243

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@wpmsad She schedules time with them at night to help on their essays and they get on the #GoogleDoc together. Love this! #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@amber_heffner @wpmsad I love this idea too. I do that with my CSC kids. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Q3 coming ASAP! #wciledchat

memayer21 Sep 27 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3-We are now more able than ever to break down walls and provide everyone the chance to see everything great in our school #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@lmstump @ice_il You're doing great things & role modeling being a #lifelonglearner... Puts you ahead already! Keep it up! #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:24 PM EDT

I would like to get into teaching college or community college. Wish I knew someone who worked there. @SandburgNet #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:24 PM EDT

.@wpmsad @JasonDanner71 YES! I have waited so long to achieve this status! #wciledchat I am coming for you, Jason!

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Q3: How has the influx of social media changed how you communicate? #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@tsuejohnson @wpmsad Of course you do! That's awesome, Traci! What a great way to support Ss! #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: For those who know me, staying within 140 characters is a real challenge. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@jonbartelt Haha! Good thing @twitter doesn't count pics anymore huh! #wciledchat

baxter2g - Moderator Sep 27 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: it gives more avenues to connect with my El Ps. #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: I run our social media, so I have been into branding #rowvastrong , but also keeps us way more connected to Ss than in past. #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@memayer21 What tool are you using for student news? #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: Opens up so many more avenues to share information not just with Ps or Ss but whole community and world as well. #wciledchat

mrhoades2 Sep 27 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: We use FB and Twitter but still not proficiently. Still issues of control to work out. #wciledchat

JLuvtoteach96 Sep 27 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: This is new for us. We just unblocked Twitter for our Teachers during school hours so they can grow their PLN. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:27 PM EDT

He is persuasive like that, isn't he? @gcouros #wciledchat https://t.co/BbLcQdEUtO

lmstump Sep 27 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@gcouros has inspired a shift in my thinking...instead of telling kids what they CAN'T do, tell them what they CAN!… https://t.co/gmuGdBUk1F

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: We have Twitter and Facebook for everything. We have it for school but I also have one of each for my track and XC teams #wciledchat

VWitherell Sep 27 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: I respond much faster and more frequently to others. PD is now informal, mobile, and constant! #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:28 PM EDT

. @mrhoades2 I think most schools still struggle with where the line is. #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@mrhoades2 Twitter has been a harder sell for us. #wciledchat

JLuvtoteach96 Sep 27 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@lmstump @gcouros It has inspired us too. Our Supt just bought all of our teachers the book last week. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:29 PM EDT

. @JLuvtoteach96 @lmstump @gcouros Teachers at BPC & WP got the change to watch him work IN PERSON last February at an SIP day. #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@tsuejohnson You need to turn a few of us loose on your district, wait...let's rethink that. #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@lmstump Our use of social media give us an opportunity to model appropriate use for students #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@wpmsad @mrhoades2 My students are slowly coming around, but it has been a struggle. #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@JLuvtoteach96 That's exciting to hear!! Great tool for @wchs_308sports who uses Twitter all the time to connect. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:30 PM EDT

. @c_johnson007 @lmstump Appropriate use for Ss is something very important for Ts to model and demonstrate to our Ss. #wciledchat

VWitherell Sep 27 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@c_johnson007 That's great! Model by example, do as I say AND as I do. #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@wpmsad @c_johnson007 @lmstump Couldn't agree more...teachable moments are the best moments, especially when being role-modeled #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@wpmsad @lmstump Agreed! They need a lot of help in learning how to do it well. It will be such a big factor in their lives. #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@mrhoades2 I really think FB is still the best for Ps and snapchat is the best for Ss. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:32 PM EDT

. @tsuejohnson @mrhoades2 What about IG? That is still pretty popular right? #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:32 PM EDT

. @lmstump @JLuvtoteach96 @gcouros :) #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@wpmsad @mrhoades2 It is with our Ss. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:33 PM EDT

. @tsuejohnson @mrhoades2 I really showed my age with that last question. UGH! #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@JLuvtoteach96 @SandburgNet @lmstump @gcouros Such a great book and an inspiring speaker...George models everything he says! #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Time to shift our mindset with Q4 coming in 1 minute. #wciledchat

baxter2g - Moderator Sep 27 @ 9:34 PM EDT

I use the digital citizenship books from @CommonsEd and they are through grade k-12 #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@wpmsad Not holding the IG against you tonight - you're on fire! #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Q4: What is the tone or intent of most of your communication with Ps? #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:35 PM EDT

. @jonbartelt Thanks sir! #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Q4 is pretty important since it is so difficult to judge tone or intent electronically. Things get misinterpreted easily. #wciledchat

lmstump Sep 27 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4 transparency & information delivery #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4: Since reading #KidsDeserveIt , I have really tried to be super positive. I send good news emails more than bad news. #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4: Honestly, much of mine is a response to a question. I know I'm not particularly proactive with parent communication. #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4: Stay away from all caps, seek first to understand their needs before trying to be understood (Covey) #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@c_johnson007 Maybe after you read #KidsDeserveIt , you will change your tune! #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:37 PM EDT

. @tsuejohnson most Ps dread contact with teachers. Seen as only negative. #KidsDeserveIt & we need to have a growth mindset! #wciledchat

kimdarche Sep 27 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4: It is really all about striving to stay positive and willing to be of service to them! #wciledchat

SandburgNet Sep 27 @ 9:37 PM EDT

I know this doesn't answer a question but follow @jlscheffer for some great ideas on teaching digital citizenship #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@jonbartelt I can't agree with you more! Caps are a recipe for disaster. #wciledchat

VWitherell Sep 27 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4: Pretty casual. Purpose is to share, inform, connect; they will respond well if it's passive, short, and nonthreatening. #wciledchat

memayer21 Sep 27 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A4-Positive, I want to share everything awesome happening at our school #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Well-said! #growthmindset #wciledchat https://t.co/kgh9RNdJOC

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:38 PM EDT

. @tsuejohnson In the words of Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man, exactumundo! #wciledchat

lmstump Sep 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4 Difficult conversations should NEVER be had via email or voicemail #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

. @c_johnson007 @tsuejohnson Is she hoarding it or what? #wciledchat

JLuvtoteach96 Sep 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4: Seesaw has changed the tone of communication to very positive and transparent. Lots of positive feedback from P's. #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Truth! #wciledchat https://t.co/yEclyTcRuG

lmstump Sep 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4 Difficult conversations should NEVER be had via email or voicemail #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@wpmsad @c_johnson007 Well... I have kind of given it to everyone but him. Promise he is next. Well, maybe after @rowvaprincipal #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

. @lmstump Agree 1000% percent. F2F preferably if not then phone! #wciledchat #KidsDeserveIt

mrhoades2 Sep 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A4: I'm with @lmstump on this - information, positive push, transparency. #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@tsuejohnson @c_johnson007 @wpmsad And perhaps meeting @TechNinjaTodd & @awelcome during #ICE17 will really motivate! :) #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:40 PM EDT

. @lmstump Another #MicDrop for you tonight. That's 2 in 2 nights. Well done! #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@amber_heffner @c_johnson007 @wpmsad @TechNinjaTodd @awelcome I am so excited about that. I can't even... :) #wciledchat

kimdarche Sep 27 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4: Read survey- emails get interperated less positive w/ each send. If you think is very happy, is is received as just normal #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@tsuejohnson @wpmsad @rowvaprincipal I might be better off ordering my own copy of it. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:41 PM EDT

. @amber_heffner @tsuejohnson @c_johnson007 @TechNinjaTodd @awelcome Must periscope that conference! #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Q5: If you could change one thing about your communication with stakeholders, what would it be? #wciledchat

baxter2g - Moderator Sep 27 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Anyone else going to the @ice_il conference in november? #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A5: More positive emails/phone calls. I want to try for at least 1 a day. #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A5: Be more consistent - proactive vs reactive & make sure we are meeting their needs #wciledchat https://t.co/pC14E8rUBz

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Q5: If you could change one thing about your communication with stakeholders, what would it be? #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A5:I would certainly like to increase the amount of positive communication between myself, parents, students, and even admin #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A5: I would have those adults that r not being directly serviced by the dist. connect electronically with us 2 get their info. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A5: More frequency and more contact. I love the #googleclassroom email function but I want more from it! #wciledchat

VWitherell Sep 27 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A5: More positivity in greater frequency. Struggling how to handle it as a "specials" teacher this year. #wciledchat

A5-I would love to have more two way communication and more student led use of social media for telling the story #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:46 PM EDT

. @amber_heffner Teaching is such as hectic job which is what makes consistency so hard! #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A5.2: I have to learn how to sketchnote! Maybe that will connect with more community members. #wciledchat

lmstump Sep 27 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Q5: If you could change one thing about your communication with stakeholders, what would it be? #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@memayer21 I have a social media intern. She runs the snapchat and is going to start helping with the rest. Her input is great. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:47 PM EDT

. @lmstump @facebook That is next level type stuff! #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@tsuejohnson @VWitherell Agree w/ Traci. As a parent I like seeing a picture. And, have Ss find something they want to share. #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@memayer21 @tsuejohnson has a "Snapchat Intern" (a Sr from one of her classes) help make our district Snapchat story each day. #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:48 PM EDT

. @tsuejohnson @memayer21 Jeez, how important are you (or think you are) to have an intern. HAHA! #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@jonbartelt Do you post on your website or do you have a community email that goes out? #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@memayer21 #studentled YES...they have such great perspective! Maybe at first you could have Ss draft it & then you send it out #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@amber_heffner Buildings send out messages via electronic newsletters to parents, website gets some info, but needs more work. #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@wpmsad Haha! Today @SuptSornberger called @LibbieRammage the Prime Minister of Social Media, so she's the important one. #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@jonbartelt @HeckAwesome Maybe we should have an Admin Academy on #sketchnotes :) #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:50 PM EDT

This chat has been amazing!!!! #wciledchat Final Q in 2 minutes!

memayer21 Sep 27 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@amber_heffner great point! #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@lmstump We are on our 2nd year of a student news program on YouTube. Our goal this year is to have more SS on screen. #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@wpmsad Agreed! I have learned to put things on my calendar so that I meet the "deadline" #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:51 PM EDT

What's a supt gotta do to get this? (I'll host if that helps!) #wciledchat https://t.co/iKYSrkhwmf

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@jonbartelt @HeckAwesome Maybe we should have an Admin Academy on #sketchnotes :) #wciledchat

JLuvtoteach96 Sep 27 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A5: We are looking at how we are "branding" ourselves as a district and deciding if change is needed. #futureready #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:52 PM EDT

So important! #wciledchat https://t.co/KswRk4s8Py

JLuvtoteach96 Sep 27 @ 9:51 PM EDT

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Yes it does! #wciledchat https://t.co/iVe3Jgm5jp

LibbieRammage Sep 27 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@tsuejohnson @wpmsad @SuptSornberger Prime Minister has a much better ring to it than "intern" 💁🏻

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:52 PM EDT

. @JLuvtoteach96 I'd love to get WP103 on the #futureready path. @carol_kilver @MSprincipalCW @Sullivan_Scott #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@jonbartelt I wish there was a tool that connected them all. Create it once, push a button and boom, all updated! ;) #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Q6: After gaining new ideas from this chat, what is one goal you have for your communication with Ps/Ss going forward? #wciledchat

memayer21 Sep 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6-I want to get a school advisory council established with parent, community and student voice for making decisions #wciledchat

kimdarche Sep 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@amber_heffner @jonbartelt Wait! I think this was invented on the Office. https://t.co/NQtj15J1Jm #wciledchat

tsuejohnson Sep 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6: I want to look into online newsletters. I think it could be useful to our district. #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6 Try and find more ways to proactively communicate positives with Ps and Ss rather than just responding to them #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6.1: To be more consistent, positive and frequent with my communication Ps and Ss. #wciledchat So easy to say, so hard to do!

mrhoades2 Sep 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A5: More two-way communication, Ss input. #wciledchat

VWitherell Sep 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6: Have students help tell our story through their photos and words, post more frequently #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

I'm right there with you man! #wciledchat https://t.co/7fXx4f2v65

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6 Try and find more ways to proactively communicate positives with Ps and Ss rather than just responding to them #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A6: Show Ps live streaming of social media feeds from our hashtags to give them the glimpse into their Ss rooms. #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@wpmsad Yeah, now I need to make myself make time for it. That's the real trick. #wciledchat

jonbartelt Sep 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6.2: Work harder to promote digital citizenship to demonstrate appropriate uses/benefits of social media outlets for Ss #wciledchat

c_johnson007 Sep 27 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@VWitherell @SandburgNet Anytime we can provide an option for students to find and use their voice it's a win! #wciledchat

wpmsad Sep 27 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@amber_heffner @JLuvtoteach96 @carol_kilver @MSprincipalCW @Sullivan_Scott What kind of statement is that? Cliffhanger? #wciledchat

amber_heffner Sep 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@memayer21 So powerful! Good for you! #wciledchat @jonbartelt & @JLuvtoteach96 can share some experience with that #wciledchat
