Hey, #TECHtalkGA! I'm your "host" tonight, Angela, Dist ITS for MS/HS in Forsyth Co!
What's new for me is that my son will turn 16 and start DRIVING himself around soon! #cantwait

A1: Sarah, 6th grade teacher in Forsyth County! Not much is new - I've enjoyed swimming with my boys most days and watching my 5-year-old swim the length of the pool on his own for the 1st time last week! I'm getting lots of reading done too! #TECHtalkGA
A1 Ge-Anne, inst tech spec and media liaison for Whitfield County Schools. Last week was @glma Summer Institute and it was great! #TECHtalkGA#glmasi2018
#TECHtalkGA A1:
For those who work in the summer, everything new is happening! Comm plan, new staff directory, @CanvasLMS parent portal, summer PL, fall PL plans, schools going 1-to-1...
But let's emphasize the big news: @Flipgrid is now FREE for ALL educators! #FlipgridFever

While I don't get paid in the summer, I have conferences, workshops and meetings. I have web work, plans for how to set up and schedules now for when everyone starts back.

A1: Hi everyone! Martha Bongiorno/Fulton County @ Autrey Mill Middle School/Media and Education Technology Instructor which is my something new! I just moved to Cumming from the Savannah area & so excited to be back with my middles after a few years with elementary. #TECHtalkGA

A2 I did my first independent gig as a #gfect and that was awesome, but the #coffeeEDU session at @glma last week was great... Empowering to see so many media spec hungry to build relationships! #TECHtalkGA
A1 - Mandy Buckenham, ITS for Floyd County Schools. I've spent this month getting things ready to rock the fall, and also learning as much from my fellow #fcsdot folks as I can! #TECHtalkGA
#TECHtalkGA A2: I admit to stacking the deck a bit here...
I organized a "Google Camp" for my district that happened this AM and we had ~60 Ts who gave up their Mon AM for FREE to come learn more about @GoogleForEdu!
A2. My team is meeting over the summer to talk tech in preparation for our 1:1 integration. Our methods semester has been 1:1 but with the entire program going 1:1, there is added incentive. So very excited! #TECHtalkGA
#TECHtalkGA A2:
Haven't led/attended any PL officially, but I'm coordinating our new gForms-gSheets built registration / notification / evaluation system. A learning experience unto itself.
@JCSchoolSystem is offering 91 learning opportunities this summer for its staff! #proud
A2: I presented at FDRESA Summer Institute featuring @GoogleForEdu and @glma Summer Institute over the past two weeks. The best parts have been the moments of networking during the inbetween sessions or just out right skipping a session to delve deeper w/ a PLN member #TECHtalkGA
A2. Helping at #GLMASI18 was amazing, and my session on 30-second elevator speech went well. But the workshop on tying what we do to @aasl standards was really fun and successful.

A3. I've been sessions that were not tightly organized - good info, but like finding nuggets. I've certainly given flops - but learned that energy / passion and organization make a world of difference.
Also, practice, practice, practice.
#TECHtalkGA
#TECHtalkGA A3: I've been lucky that most of what I've attended has been good. I hope that I've led has also been good.
But sometimes, flops happen. When they do, I always try to be objective when looking at the feedback, rather than making excuses. It's not about me, but them.
A3 - "Flops" can happen to anybody anywhere, but it still helps me to reflect on my own style and maybe how a different approach would have had a different outcome. #TECHtalkGA
You would know the best! You've seen some of my most recent work in Sheets. Arduous long hours, but always enjoyable and definitely a passion of mine. It's amazing what we can do. The final product always makes it worth the wait! #MakeAllTheGoogleSheets#TECHTalkGA

#TECHtalkGA A4: I'm part-way in to @ShakeUpLearning's book, part-way in to @casas_jimmy's #Culturize, & just bought the Edu Protocol Field Guide!
Too much to read, not enough time, story of my life!
A4: SO many! I'm reading @DianaLRendina@gravescolleen Challenge-Based Learning in the School Library MakerSpace and Reimagining Library Spaces this week. Next week I am so ready to finally read @trev_mackenzie Inquiry Mindset! #TECHtalkGA
A4 - Now that grad school is over, I can actually read what I want! I have a whole stack - Shake Up Learning & Google Apps for Littles are on deck right now, and I can't WAIT to get Path to Serendipity in my mailbox this week! #TECHtalkGA
I can HIGHLY recommend @casas_jimmy's #Culturize. I read it after I saw him speak at the 2017 Winter #GACIS and highly recommend it every since. He is an incredible and honest man, educator, and leader. #TECHtalkGA

Besides a week off? I'm building a tech work order system in July in Google Sheets and Forms. I'm pretty excited about the challenge and opportunity that it presents.
A5 - My family is getting ready for a two week vacation to Austria in July. It's going to be amazing! After that, I'm super excited to head back to work and jump right in! #TECHtalkGA
#techtalkga sorry I’m late. Book I’m reading @gcouros innovators mindset. One of the best PD books I’ve read lately. Next on the list is @DrIbram stamped from the beginning and @teddintersmith “What Schools could be”
A5 Can’t wait to meet staff at new school! And excited for some #passthesketchnote fun coming up soon during #ISTE18 and summer camp version for kiddos in July. ✍🏼 #TECHtalkGA
#TECHtalkGA A5: Well 1st, I can't believe we're almost done!
Next on my calendar is #ISTE18 & then in July, my first ever time at @gameisconf, which is sure to be out of my comfort zone, but also the types of push that I need!
#sendmepositivevibes#orgrapejuice
A2: working with some great teachers @ElbertCoSchools in our Elbert Innovates academy! Was hoping to have 15 and have almost double that to sign up #techtalkga
Great chat tonight, #TECHtalkGA! Thanks to everyone who participated! We’ll see you back here on 7.23 and then we’ll be back for real in Aug!
If you’re going to #ISTE18, look for a roll-call and possible meet-up coming soon!

A1: a little late to the party since we had a late dinner out tonight...
My name is Cori and I am HS math teacher in Gwinnett.
Nothing new for next year, so looking forward to traveling to DC for the 4th and to #TMC18 in Cleveland next month.

A2: I have led a couple of PDs with my good friend @morgancookga that dealt with our LMS and formative assessments in math/science classes. Looking forward to doing a session next month at #TMC18#TECHTalkGA
A4: Most of my favorite books for use in education were actually written with a business audience, like "Start with Why," "It's Your Ship," and "Poke the Box."
I am about to read "The Global Achievement Gap" soon. Have any of y'all read it?
