A1-Have a good vision. Make sure you know where you want to go after getting the devices in. #TXed

Kathy_Vergara2 Apr 13 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A1 start w/ the why. Allan November book "who owns the learning" is a great start. Know that tech is a tool not an outcome #TXed

#txed Not a fan of 1:1 unless there is constant PD on appropriate use. Note taking is not worth the cost. Interactive digital literacy!

krirobinson22 Apr 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2 using many different tools can be great for differentiation but also overwhelming if students/teachers don't know how to use them #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2 not one tech or tool is one size fits all #TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@edtech_savvy @JimSarto @PrincipalOgg I will argue a bit. IWB used correctly is powerful. Trouble is Ts use to present, not interact. #txed

BClarksonTX Apr 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2: Adults don't all use the same type of personal device. Why should we expect our Ss to? Diversify the devices. #BYOD #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2-The answer is in the question. You have a variety of tools. Some might learn better with different tools #TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@devineteacher Dont forget the #txed hashtag!

oJaison Apr 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2: It's much harder training and supporting teachers and admins in the use of a variety of tools. #TXed

jenemitchell Apr 13 @ 9:50 PM EDT

jenemitchell Apr 13 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A2 - Disadvantages - harder to train Ts/Ss and hard to maintain/service #TXed

oJaison Apr 13 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Even one tool is overwhelming to many teachers @PrincipalOgg #TXed

LiteraryFusions Apr 13 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A2 we believe ultimately Ss should choose right device and tool for the job at hand - what they want to communicate? #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@FarleyJeffrey Hey Jeff, thanks for joining! I agree training is a huge undertaking. I see advantage in choice but tough on back end. #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Would one recommend one device or no more than 3? #TXed

JimSarto Apr 13 @ 9:53 PM EDT

#txed Try my Power PD Bites! One morning per week, 15 minutes before school starts...., introduce apps, strategies, team building, etc....

oJaison Apr 13 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A2: Easier to invest in resources (supplements, tech, support) when you have consistent #edtech being used throughout a community. #TXed

@oJaison @PrincipalOgg The most common mantra I hear in discussions about buy-in is "One thing at a time". #TXed

Kathy_Vergara2 Apr 13 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A2 focused PD is needed. Ensure that its not a piece of furniture but being used as a tool. I agree with having different tools to dif #TXed

Bstamm00 Apr 13 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A2: advantage...exposes Ss to that variety of options. Ts & Ss have the ability to determine right tool for a variety of tasks! #txed

@oJaison @PrincipalOgg We have to remember the tech isn't for the Ts. I guarantee the Ss know how to use it all and can teach the Ts. #txed

A2: Disadvantage is management and support of devices. It's hard to be a "jack of all trades" for educators #txed

Right. I don't understand how that works at all. Please say more! This is really interesting. @pwagnerlcisd @Windham_EduSTEM #TXed

@oJaison Only 2 things I see people leaning toward Google for now: search engine and forms. O365 needs to improve Excel surveys. #txed

With 1:1 u free up more space in the classroom! U don't need textbooks, bulky desks to store stuff, the space becomes more flexible #TXed

Interesting. If you could choose would you pick ipads again for next batch? Why? @jdeek #TXed

A6: Ours is pretty good because the needs of the Ss and Ts are at the top of the list. It's just hard to keep up with change and $$$. #txed

oJaison Apr 13 @ 10:27 PM EDT

Very very good point. I'd love a GAFE OneNote alternative. But it takes time to figure OneNote out. @pwagnerlcisd #TXed

@Windham_EduSTEM @pwagnerlcisd @oJaison Yes.. How does this work? Seems like a lot of trouble for the kiddos. #txed

@Windham_EduSTEM @pwagnerlcisd @oJaison We are as well. Both is hard. Choice is nice, but confusing for Ps, Ss as well as the Ts. #txed

#TXed A6 - Been thinking abut that recently. We have to stay hungry and keep pushing the envelope.

oJaison Apr 13 @ 10:27 PM EDT

If Google had a solid OneNote competitor would anything else keep you with O365? @pwagnerlcisd #TXed

@oJaison The learning curve really isn't that bad if you commit to it. I can't imagine life without it now. #txed @OneNoteEDU

A6 Improving..SPED is usually on back burner. So we wrote a grant this year and have new chrome books coming.. Excited!! #TXed

oJaison Apr 13 @ 10:29 PM EDT

Don't get me wrong I'm a huge fan of OneNote. Just can't think of another O365 program of equal significance. pwagnerlcisd @OneNoteEDU #TXed

A6: My district ascribes to variety philosophy. I like it. Keeping up with current tech is the most difficult part #TXED

#txed Hilarious. But her people probably design on iPads... https://t.co/Ed8SYYizPa

@oJaison probably not other than having to move over in cloud storage ;) I can't say there's anything with GAFE to keep me either. #txed
