Excuse the heavy number of tweets for the next hour time for &
get ready for the jump to hyperspace
Only way to top that is glitter GLUE! :-)
How many chats can I read at once? Challenge accepted!
For the next hour, I will be tweeting: and I welcome our guest moderators! Yay!
So we need to remember both hashtags right?
there will be shapes of ice slides & forms of otters
Yes please! Care for those characters carefully! :-) https://t.co/R1ywkKNKHF
So we need to remember both hashtags right?
Yes! This! Pack more into those remaining characters! Tweet more often! https://t.co/AblK60aTjA

Hello, co-organizer with of I am an instructional tech consultant in NW IA at
Hello, co-organizer with of I am an instructional tech consultant in NW IA at
Well you sorta Know me I like to talk :)
Oh no that's going to really hurt our vowels...
kyle- network admin from philly. i'll see what i can bring for tonight's topic.
NORM! get to a keyboard, quick!
HS Social Studies teacher from icy SW Missouri.
Q1: Tell us where you are from, what you do, and prototype a new twitter handle for yourself https://t.co/UOyp9FtwBn

Hello & Sean from Orland Park IL. Dir of Instructional Tech at Marian Catholic love the crossover - It's like NBC!
A1: Rob from Dallas. English T in 1:1 iPad independent school.
That's an awesome new handle! You gotta sign up for that one!
Devin Schoening, checking in for the first time in a while. K-12 Instructional Technolog Program Lead.
Welcome to mashup w/ Its shld be a fun convo!
One year I made my AP Ss talk to me through Twitter with that tag
Hey @ CardboardPrincess! That one might stick ya know! :-)
a1: kyle from philly. network administrator. @ thegoogler
A1: Dayton, OH, Dir of Tech & Innovation, :)
Hey Eric has the snow hit your area yet?
A1: New handle: IAErin. Hmm... EPoet, ErinLovestoLearn ErinPoet ECreator (sigh)
Hi, Devin, Hope you are well!
I should laser cut myself a tiara!
Q1: Shai from State College, PA, HS Math T, and my new twitter handle.... (as some Ss say...LOL)
A1) Matt- Curriculum Coord fr/ Maine (/). New Handle: @ wartist (wannabe-artist)
Q2 isn't too far off, we just wanted folks to have breathing room to get acclimated to the double tag/shorter tweet
A1b or I would use since I seem to be the one to train/solve tech problems in the building
I was just thinking the same thing about changing my handle. Just not IAErin for me.
hmmm… w/ the snow and all thing winter how abt https://t.co/KK4HergTFq
A1. Steve, PK-5 principal in Charlottesville, VA, bracing for 12"+ of snow... Need to develop my new handle.
I heard somewhere that designers love constraints.
That's a beautifully inspiring one! @ courageouscatalyst
If that doesn't get a I don't know what does
Oh Wait, they were talking about my hubby...that would be my hubby's twitter handle. https://t.co/fH8mNMtuv6
Q1: Shai from State College, PA, HS Math T, and my new twitter handle.... (as some Ss say...LOL)
Absolutely! Nothing inspires creativity more than constraints!
A1: Maybe if it was available.
I got a whole bag of shh with your name on it.
No snow here in Seattle! But dark 4pm-8am...
Welcome @ burningcandleatbothends! :-) Great to have friends in the house!
A2: Creating an original product to explain a complicated concept or fix a problem
A2: stop thinking, stop talking, start doing!!
A2: never heard of the word. Prototypes usually aren't ready for market yet
A2: Making ideas concrete & having something that could be tested (even if only by the maker).
This is why I was intrigued at the topic, I have no idea where you're going with this one.
A2) If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. It’s where grit meets production with a dusting of “A-HA’s”.
Joining late! From SF Bay Area. I love my current handle! :)
Reminder to all folks tonight to use both for our special mashup btw two Twitter chats!
A2: Prototyping, to me, means making things and trying and getting feedback, and trying some more. Learning should be similar.
A2: Discovery, growth through experimentation,design,play, creation...that leads to more discovery, growth, creation
A2: p2l to me means failing fast, early, and often and trying again, not for correctness but for understanding
A2 User-critiqued prototypes help the designer learn more about user & design
A2: searching for a more effective means to connect w/Ss
A2 For me everything is a prototype Always open 4 iteration I try 2 learn from everything I do.
A2) You're never done/perfect... Any thought, product, or process is always just one version or step along the way.
A2 prototype, feedback, learn, iterate, try again. It's a cycle, must have to innovate.
A2: It IS NOT: one right answer.
A1 Lauren from Maine, middle school ela t, no idea what I'm doing-first time chat
A2: In prototyping you are not necessarily worried about the first attempt being perfect. Get feedback, and keep working.
A2 I see it as making, then intentional reflecting on what's working & not working via trying & fdbk
A2: Fail, get back up. Adapt. Repeat.
a2: isn't life just a constant state of prototyping? for
A2: A prototype to me would be something original waiting to be tested. It the first try at something.
A2: Experimenting w/what may or may not be possible, to find out more about your user or the problem being solved
Hey I saw that you teased abt So where are you now?
Way to jump in with both feet. Welcome!
A2: putting an idea into practice and seeing how Ss take to it. Seeing if it sticks and reuse again later. Beta testing.
A2: Understood the first is not the last, but surely will inspire better, another, more
love how you dropped Grit!
Tested, probably, but most certainly shared. Should be constantly looking for feedback.
. When we try things out & let rough drafts/experiments breathe, we open up more possible solutions
Love this focus on students as your user!
A2: looking for better ways to improve the experience for my Ss and our community. Experiment to progress
A2: not settling w/what got us here
A2: give it a whirl and see what works, then fix accordingly
Intentional reflection- "intentional" is crucial!
Dang this is a good night. Someone better storify this. ...
A2: Don't plan to perfection. Listen. Create. Listen. Iterate. Listen. Iterate. Rinse. Repeat.
. and I reckon you can wangle several prototypes were you try radical/diff approaches environ cr8s opps
I guess I envisioned the shared part for someone to test. I always told my son he was my prototype. (LOL)
Agreed! There's a sort of fearlessness about experimenting and learning from results https://t.co/mGuejj3ZP9
A2: give it a whirl and see what works, then fix accordingly
I love this! Get something out there - thoughtfully, but do it & then... https://t.co/k3QkBnNt5m
A2: Don't plan to perfection. Listen. Create. Listen. Iterate. Listen. Iterate. Rinse. Repeat.
A2: Prototyping is why I love the design process. I really believe we need to find more ways to use the process in clssrooms.
And I gotta remember to stick both on there -- for tonight!
If you're doing it right, it is IMHO. :-) https://t.co/Izs8HKBUzP
a2: isn't life just a constant state of prototyping?
A2: had gr8 fireside chat w/DK on this.can talk & plan &talk&.. means nothing.Jump in & do,cr8!
Agree. There should be a continuous Need to Know-Learned--Need to Know cycle.
I love it. And I agree with you; just want to make sure we are sharing the things we are making.
This makes a lot of sense. Big fan of brainstorming, taking risks, & reflecting. Didn't know term for it. Thanks
I say so Perfection is over rated & nothing is a finished product IMO
Is your head spinning? No worries 1) We archive this chat each week. 2) Pick one thread/conversation & just follow it
So many new friends: Love that I have new peeps to follow. Yay!
perfection is the end of the journey
A2 debrief instead of mini lesson. Build something- what did you learn from your materials?
. I dig Prototype to Learn bc fuses design & making w academic land of school & stuff
Exactly why we need to rethink how we grade students on projects. Are we growing or finished?
speak for yourself. ;-) i'm done. it gets no better than this. *points to self*
A2 continued: It's an attitude of sorts. You've a bias toward action, and are ready to learn from success or failure
Thanks! It's what my school calls its "Immersion Method"
Kyle, you are hilarious. :-)
Learning from materials - love https://t.co/l0B8WFmv5U
A2 debrief instead of mini lesson. Build something- what did you learn from your materials?
For sure. Exceeding expectation should be focus/goal.
That's just what I was thinking. I'm pressing that follow button like a buzzer at Jeopardy.
I really like the term. Well done.
Agree! Well said. Empathy is at the heart of learning
Prototype to learn also means don't procrastinate for perfection. Get started and learn via iterations. dtk12chat
You are speaking the great verbiage growth in learning
love it! I try to remind myself of this all the time!!
Absolutely. Well said. https://t.co/zrDtqI0TII
Prototype to learn also means don't procrastinate for perfection. Get started and learn via iterations. dtk12chat
I need someone to make a list for me!! I can't keep up but I want to follow all the peeps
We designed that "definition" last year for how we want to do school. I should be sharing more soon...
Embodying this spirit is imperative,growth mindset-lrn from experience,we must share journey https://t.co/c45XqT59rS
A2 continued: It's an attitude of sorts. You've a bias toward action, and are ready to learn from success or failure
Really like this. Our goal should be to teach s's to get started early
Perfectionism... grrrrr! Had/Have terrible bouts with that stuff. >:-( https://t.co/b0rUBCDmOM
Prototype to learn also means don't procrastinate for perfection. Get started and learn via iterations. dtk12chat
I was thinking the same things. I also was thinking, don't tell my hubby. He thinks Im perfect.
A3 With Ss, grades make an impact - summative vs formative, growth/reflection vs other
protype also has a sense of seeing progress occur and heavy reflection to alter for the circumstance
This sounds like such a great way to encourage collaboration as well.
A3 Intent behind Q3 tonight is get folks talking practice; My Ss can revise as many times as possible on ALL things
YES! I had a IFTTT for this but I think I broke it.
A3: I've said it b4, make an ass of myself. B silly, b playful, b real, make mistakes, b vulnerable, b transparent!
A3: start w/effective feedback lang. and cultivate a culture of feedback. I like I wish what if
A3: Really focusing on reflection as a step in developing best product. Portfolios of learning/research
a3: hard to get Ts to just give something new a chance. if it doesn't work, we'll keep looking till we get it working for you.
Sounds like you're still iterating on it Joseph :)
It's cool - I only play once every 3 and they still show me love ;-)
A3 B the 1st 2 fail fall stumble screw up Repeat & Dont hide it Find confidence N setbacks Remove the hierarchy & ego
Why I love which I think is gonna help us on
A3) Be willing to make a giant leap forward and then fail publicly. Have humility to show failure, & strength to fight again.
A3 permission to fail is huge first step
A3: Biggest way is being thoughtful with the words I use with Ss. Encourage growth mindset & independent thinking.
Maybe the hardest thing for Ts to do...give up a little control of what's happening and how it might happen.
I have a feeling my brain is really going to hurt by the end of this chat Thanks for sharing.
A3 lead by example: celebrate failures, find the positives and make it public. Go tell it from the MNT
Yep. I know it well. That's why a Twitter chat rocks, no time for perfectionism!
A3: I takes risks myself. I show Im not perfect. I don't grade anything except SA, so my Ss are willing to try & try
Gotta run and pick up the ballerina... Good night, friends!
A3-Model that reflecting on failure to look for solutions is not only an accepted practice but preferred within our environment!
yes and help Ss seek out feedback from peers. create a safe place for growth through feedback/reflection
A3: By modeling it for my students. I do lots of pet prjcts 2 build my own skills, & always share my process
right!? It's not much of a prototype if it is just a lifeless lump tossed to side
a3: just try it. i didn't like broccoli as a kid. now i love it! how do you know it's going to be difficult until you try.
For sure. Pper evaluation should also be an ingredient for growth/revision.
. How do you celebrate failures in your school/classroom, Michael? Tips for folks playing at home?
A3: We move emphasis from end to process,learning journey,story of creation.Power in that & it includes oops/awesome.
A3: Model, model, model, and model. As a leader, it's my job to show both that it's ok & that it rocks .
YES and replace fear of humiliation with humility
A3 Asking for feedback early and often supports the idea that no one has all the answers, everyone iterates
A3: Encourage answers that I wasn't expecting & Qs that encourage creative responses.
Peeps R always up 4 a convo 24/7 the 1 hr missed doesn’t remove U from the tribe
A3: I also try to have lots of previous student projects around. It helps them see growth & fosters innovation
Ss and Ts need to see it's okay to fail (thinking specifically about tech). Failed today w/4th graders; it was fine.
Always sharing w/ Ss & Ts especially admitting that I don't know yet. Makes them feel more comfortable.
And if I had my way, I wouldn't grade a thing. I would just provide feedback! https://t.co/piC606FHwZ
A3: I takes risks myself. I show Im not perfect. I don't grade anything except SA, so my Ss are willing to try & try
A3: encouragement to try new things- all learners could use this to kickstart a growth mindset & prototype mindset
so hard. i still have Ts wanting a PC instead of a chromebook. all they do is type and read. it's the same thing!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the notion of “everyone iterates”!!! https://t.co/SOFUJSN1T4
A3 Asking for feedback early and often supports the idea that no one has all the answers, everyone iterates
our A3s sound kinda similar. ;)
Agree. Modeling this mindset and willingness to innovate is best way to get s's to buy in.
We should write a children's book or something... ;-)
A3 Transitioning to PBE eval to target standards, assess often, target where to improve, make baby steps
You can do those things on a Chromebook? :)
I feel that's what grading should be. It can be, yes?
A3: Helping to provide opportunities for Ss to make things that may not work & That being OK.
Yes! There are few things more powerful for a student than seeing their own teacher learn!
You have advanced EdTech teachers at your school too?
A3: find the value in all efforts. and ask how can WE improve this? or now what can we do with this?
A3) I keep my hands OFF kids' projects. Independence. Also often start w limited materials and expand over iterations
A3: YES YES YES Model a willingness to try things out and to fail exuberantly. And be a meddler in the middle.
Or just do a -style parody of that REM classic.
I find its the best way 2 learn 4 me Gosh know I find myself failing more yet gaining more than ever
Watching Teachers play/learn/prototype together for own growth is a must before culture can change in classroom
As long as we can get away from assigning a grade, yes! Grades stop the learning process!
love sharing at public school wide events, make it an award of sorts
what will those technologists come up with next? you might even be able to fit 10k songs on your phone
A3: We don't fail when we mess up, we fail when we quit trying <- Live that.
Trying to control every bit of learning that happens in a classroom is just about the worst thing we can do.
A3: Calls to ? purpose of feedback-support growth or halt?Inspire movement or retire progress?
HMW use grades to guide learning, not end it?
. That's pretty much what we do!
Since I'm self-taught in Video editing I always told Ss to dream big & we'll figure it out together.
Now you're just talking crazy.
we have a few. they are our go to people to try stuff out on.
A4: It's as easy as a CAMERA plus a stern admonition to NEVER delete the "mess ups." Show me your growth/development!
A3: Have a celebration of sorts regarding "failed" prototypes. Something that recognizes that learning still occurred
we're prototyping an idea from first challenge called feedforward forum
If they were always open to change that's a start - but then there's always a ceiling...
. oh I dig that; like tell a story of your crash & burn & what you took away from it?
A4: Google Forms/Google Docs--S's share portfolios/research notes. Great for offering feedback w/o a ton of "grading"
A3: I blog on oops/awesome, works/didn't my journey is transparent.
i shouldn't put all my ideas out in public like this.
Finally a I can speak to!!! Check that off my bucket list, baby! https://t.co/wMlxTFPrjl
. oh I dig that; like tell a story of your crash & burn & what you took away from it?
A4 hmmm Padlet, google doc? Nothing really 2B honest Whiteboard, Paper, Sharpie F2F, getting hands busy on materials
Not sure what you mean. I don't grade HMW at all. Nothing Formative gets a grade. Just feedback!
use proficiency scales w "I can statements" Focus on what a child can do and let Ss set growth goals
"Dream big and figure it out" sums up my approach to life and learning.
A4: for me it's basic- Twitter and a camera! And now our new ePortfolios, which I'm super pumped about
A4: Google Forms for Peer Evals of projects, group contributions of individuals, etc. Immediate feedback.
A4) Google Docs are my top 4
I guess I cheat: my one class gives grades that aren't ever set until the term ends.
I totally agree on the limitations regarding materials! Forces a focus on true needs https://t.co/WC46RsdFAN
A3) I keep my hands OFF kids' projects. Independence. Also often start w limited materials and expand over iterations
feedforward is a both a physical & digital space to share "failures" & seek feedforward from colleagues
! https://t.co/0lLxlS1Evz
As long as we can get away from assigning a grade, yes! Grades stop the learning process!
Sorry, it's a thing: HMW = How might we :)
When grades are assigned, the only care is that its an A. Not, what have I learned, and what growth have I made.
Also really like the work and resources I'm seeing from
a4: google docs, forms, and sheets.
Agreed! A scale to balance, watch tip, support and assist in recovery. Learning can be brutal
love this- perhaps a new display case!!
What platform do you use for the eportfolios? I keep chickening out...
A4: SeeSaw with Younger Ss & GAFE with older Ss.
I know that culture, for sure. Good to remember culture can be changed. :)
Eng Ts almost ignores all vocab work until Ss write original sentences w/ vocab. Top of Blooms
A4: I was going to say something like this... Nothing better than notepads/wallspace/paper for designing
A4: CAMERA! I take pics of my writing notes, , googledocs, blog...
only part of it. this conversation is private though.
A4. I am loving the newer features on Paper for prototyping; wish I had more iPads for my Ss
yep, who had the biggest flop, then what did you do. Put it all out there
A4: I'm a HUGE & fan. Adding audio tracks = Ss narrate process + Ts give audio feedback.
Sorry. I don't even know what the means, so...;(
Fail Whale! broke Twitter! If you want, rapid prototype a new mascot 4 failure & post a pic! https://t.co/nj0ZBv8UkM
A4: Hmm. That's an interesting Q. Depends on the purpose, and depends on the product. I'm not a "tool" guy, though.
For sure! Especially ones w/ color.
A4) We have been using a bit... Awesome tool! I hope can take it full-scale :-)
A4: ePortfolio is great digital tool for giving/receiving feedback but our most popular tool is the trusty post-it.
Did you say audio feedback?! Be still, my heart https://t.co/upoVzwPPZn
A4: I'm a HUGE & fan. Adding audio tracks = Ss narrate process + Ts give audio feedback.
. And wondering what digital solutions ppl use to manage/keep track/keep sane if any
+1 It is wonderful to see Ts at the beginning of the process instead several iterations in. https://t.co/qP19HXtl97
A3: I blog on oops/awesome, works/didn't my journey is transparent.
just downloaded it last week- was inspired by Tweets
This is my first year with it. My K/1st Gr DT group loves it & Ps seem to also. Very Easy!
One way is to allow redos, or retakes. Long process there, but it works.
Got my pencil for Christmas, & Ts getting introduced to sketchnoting
OOooh... that looks interesting - gotta check it out. Thanks!
I agree w/you completely. Lots of thoughtful choice by student and teacher in the learning design stages
I mentioned earlier Google Docs for Portfolios is great.
a4: there are soooo many great tools and workflows to help Ts and Ss that it's insane to not try something different
I always want more time to get super comfortble w it; getting there
That's a very difficult shift for Ts to make. Does admin support this, or really drive this?
YES! 1) You don't have to write all your detailed feedback 2) They actually LISTEN & IMPROVE! https://t.co/tMqrIMpN0i
Did you say audio feedback?! Be still, my heart https://t.co/upoVzwPPZn
A4: I'm a HUGE & fan. Adding audio tracks = Ss narrate process + Ts give audio feedback.
A4: everything Google (drive, docs, classroom, forms). Checker plus for google calendar. Split screen.
A4: Would be cool to get a list of all these apps, tools, etc!
We do that in - one time saver is to make them highlight, reflect on changes
A4 Mostly for my own testing to see if i have the skill to transfer usage of tech, no many opportunities
Yep. And we need to feel comfortable enough to let Ss explore & choose their own tools. Not always easy.
The pencil is on my wish list!
I was going to show them my awful attempts -
how did you get in here? must be a bug in twitter. i wrote private in my tweet. that makes it private
a slow transition partly due to the availability and willingness of ALL staff to join the movement to tech
I'm loving my Chromebook cart this year. I have 32 that I have at my disposal. Jealous?
Sometimes, if we look for them, we can wedge this mindset in the cracks.
Q5: How might digital portfolios of a Ss's prototyping process serve as evidence of learning? https://t.co/FwkrtEy400
Ummm...neither. Not sure they even know. (and some of my colleagues disagree that I do!)
In that course we just keep doing it, every day. Consistency comes from being consistent. ;P
happy! glad another groups of Ss get to see the benefits of the chromebook. 32 is better than 31
I got to play with the iPad Pro & Apple Pencil last week…
A5: love this idea 4 so many reasons!
Now THIS is a badge I could get down on! https://t.co/SGJCV0fENN
A4: would be fun to add "3 failed attempts" to badging criteria so Ss would have to take some risks
YES! PLEASE COME! Also, I'm presenting it at in 2 wks. :)
A5: Every student, every single one should have a place online where they can share and store their learning.
can we generate prototypes for rebrand of "fail?"
A5 self reflection built into eportfolios, true marker of learning. ATM (acquire, make meaning, transfer)
A5: Regular reflection on how far s's have come is big for understanding purpose of process/lessons/projects.
A5 (cont.): The space doesn't have to be the same for all, but nonetheless there should be that space.
That is awesome. - take note.
A5 Love platform as a way 2curate prototypes Plus love their skillchallenges & turn 2wards Usability N classroom
A5 Curmudgeon answer, but for 1, it saves T from negative audience response to final products (b/c they see growth)
A5: Prototype Process is exactly what we should see in Ss portfolio. Demonstrating growth
A5: Ss can provide fbck 2 other Ss & reflect on their own journey. (I'm thinking "progress" may not B the right word.
went 1:1 this yr: I'll see ur 32 & raise u 250! 'tgettobragsomuch
A5 cont'd: Understanding purpose equals buy in from students and engagement.
Reminds me of districts that buy domains and initial hosting spaces for Ss upon graduation https://t.co/s22LOEPc7z
A5: Every student, every single one should have a place online where they can share and store their learning.
A5: Publishing, reflecting, sharing process-capturing journey. This HONORS journey opposed to glorifying "perfection"
A5: If someone can explain the WHYs behind the differences in the iterations, I'd say learning is clearly evident.
Good to hear you're 1 of us. I thought you were in some kind of hippy commune or something.
A5: This is one of those conversations where schools (specifically) skew too far to conformity w/regards to tool.
! https://t.co/PgV2UTw4v6
A5: Publishing, reflecting, sharing process-capturing journey. This HONORS journey opposed to glorifying "perfection"
A5: Ts know Ss best...if they can find their failure and explain it they know it...why make it formal?
I think places that provide those spaces for Ss are awesome, but want Ss to have a say in the space.
A5: allows for Ss to compile their work, reflect, and collaborate with others.
Edu can/shld support & help ss create/make the place. This can/shld happen IN school. https://t.co/85uBwHDHoF
A5: Every student, every single one should have a place online where they can share and store their learning.
A5: We emphasize that Google Drive can hold ANY digital files (not just Google Birthed ones). Pix? Keynotes? Yup.
A5-I have no idea--provide a bank of mistakes made, successes achieved, things to share?
It is such a great practice
has some great posts & I believe a new book re: this
we are using google sites for a lot of projects. we are hoping to try out with a grade or two.
Agree. And, help Ss find the space that's right for them, even if that means different for many kids.
agreed which is why I'm not advocating for that particular answer alone; it's that fwd thinking I dig
A5) Dynamic (not static); can be stackable (increasing in depth & complexity over time); & (nearly) infinite storage.
My s's use Weebly for Rsrch Blogs that is t run, but that exp. can help them create thr own
I was hoping you'd find that Mary! Couldn't fit in there :)
any? yes! ANY file that is digital should be uploaded to drive at some point.
How did I know was going to enter the equation when we started talking ?
Having a recognition of time, and the growth/learning that occurs over it, is critical for learners
YES! agree-not a one size fits all, but individualized. https://t.co/niP8DfKOea
Agree. And, help Ss find the space that's right for them, even if that means different for many kids.
Now THAT'S a Fail Whale redesign!
A5: Include stop motion and/or time-lapse movies in digital portfolios. Works incredibly well and Ss love making them
The problem is, it's harder for teachers and schools. But, "what's best for kids?"
Why we show up: to learn. :)
A5 at a certain point (possibly as habits form) Ss shld have autonomy on curation of work ie. forum, platform
Definitely! Stop motion movies has been one of my Kindergarteners' favorite projects!
I like this. Would allow s's to see their growth throughout course or even their ed. careers https://t.co/8IwBnA5zH2
any? yes! ANY file that is digital should be uploaded to drive at some point.
Sorry I need to sign off. Early morning tomorrow. Will catch up tomorrow. Have a great night! Remember
Glad to hear it. Love when Admin sees benefit of change. Keep leading w/ vision
I think individualized is harder because it is harder to control. Too often we complicate what should be simple.
Often not till very end. If 2 early, it usually changes!
A5cont- Does anyone think the rushed schedule of the school day doesn't allow for prototyping/reflection?
Love your built in iteration opportunities!!!
A5 con’t If Amin/Teachers are designing telling & requiring curation of eportfolio What is really being demo’d
A5 what about going w a learning confessional booth - think Real World style
A6: it's all fun and games until the interwebs collapse. where's the duct tape
and control does not align with the spirit of empowering.
! https://t.co/mPyf8MkbA0
A5: Include stop motion and/or time-lapse movies in digital portfolios. Works incredibly well and Ss love making them
I NEVER miss when is being shared
Link or it didn't happen. ;)
Yes. Me. Right here. Two thumbs pointed at this guy. https://t.co/KPFv8sFzMD
A5cont- Does anyone think the rushed schedule of the school day doesn't allow for prototyping/reflection?
A6: Tech's strongest use is for reflection, research, record keeping.
Thanks for the conversation tonight!
