Katie, MS. Hiking with the dog this weekend! #byronedchat

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:05 PM EDT

We will start the first question in one minute! Be ready innovators! #byronedchat

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:06 PM EDT

@DonlinSTEM what kind of dog do you have? #byronedchat

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:06 PM EDT

First question: What is the definition of innovation in education? #byronedchat

77woodhouse77 Apr 13 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1) Innovation in education is about finding NEW ways to help our students learn #byronedchat

TracyLermon Apr 13 @ 9:07 PM EDT

#byronedchat My def is using technology to assist in thinking outside the box.

JG0005 Apr 13 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1) Innovation is any time Ts look to break down status quo for learning #byronedchat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 Innovation = new perspectives #byronedchat

CaraPassentino Apr 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Climbing Bloom's Taxonomy #byronedchat

rdemmer05 Apr 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT

#byronedchat A1)Innovation is educators who are trying new ways of doing things in their learning environments.

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1 Innovation is NOT technology. It's being creative and looking for the best possible ways for our Ss to learn. #ByronEdChat

TracyLermon Apr 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Oooh....good thought Cara. #byronedchat https://t.co/VAULN8fLR2

CaraPassentino Apr 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Climbing Bloom's Taxonomy #byronedchat

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@rdemmer05 love that! Totally makes sense. How do you involve students? #byronedchat

RyanRadke316 Apr 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1. May be different and outside the box but is conducive to learning #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 I don't even know if being innovative has to be something new, because many of us know lots of ed ideas cycle around. #ByronEdChat

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@ByronBandMS want to elaborate a little bit? #byronedchat

MrMur_ray Apr 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1)innovation means trying something new even if you fail or have to get out of your comfort zone. #byronedchat

JanelleGroehler Apr 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1) Innovation is when S's think for themselves and ask to change or create a product/learning that wasn't T directed #byronedchat

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1) according to @gcouros innovation = First different, then Better #byronedchat

TracyLermon Apr 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

#byronedchat And representing BEM...@Taragenesisking ! Welcome!

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@JanelleGroehler just had a conversation like this, this morning about informative speeches #byronedchat

JG0005 Apr 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@JanelleGroehler Agreed-but serious innovation had to happen before that to empower Ss to that goal #byronedchat

rdemmer05 Apr 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@korytellers so true maybe something newly recycled! #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 I think innovation is pushing the status quo and again going back to that always doing what's best for our Ss. #ByronEdChat

TracyLermon Apr 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Ugg...typo! BES #byronedchat https://t.co/abbsDvIz64

TracyLermon Apr 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

#byronedchat And representing BEM...@Taragenesisking ! Welcome!

DonlinSTEM Apr 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1) Taking typical lessons and adding new aspects for increased student motivation/engagement and thinking process. #byronedchat

melley80 Apr 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: Innovation, a fresh/new perspective #ByronEdChat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@rdemmer05 Yes, because some "old" ideas are really good ones. Doesn't always have to be new, shiny ideas to be best. #ByronEdChat

MrMur_ray Apr 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Need to drive home quick. Be Back in a flash. #byronedchat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@MsK_Richardson4 Looking at what we already do from outside of the box and coming up with new methods to accomplish our goals. #byronedchat

JanelleGroehler Apr 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@melley80 Can you describe this more? I like it! #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@Taragenesisking Whoop! Whoop! Glad to have you here! :) #ByronEdChat

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@MrMur_ray what happens if you fail? Does it end there? #byronedchat

77woodhouse77 Apr 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@jenhegna @MrMur_ray after you drive home :) #byronedchat

JG0005 Apr 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@jenhegna @gcouros Great concept, but often Ts don't get time to work on "better" trends/admin push the next "new" too quickly #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT

#Whoosh #ByronEdChat https://t.co/vRtahBuiJ2

MrMur_ray Apr 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Need to drive home quick. Be Back in a flash. #byronedchat

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

With all of these definitions about new ideas, this leads us into question 2: What does it look like in the classroom? Any tips #byronedchat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@melley80 Who do you look to for a new perspective? #byronedchat

77woodhouse77 Apr 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2) Different! Not every student needs to show his or her learning in the same exact way. #byronedchat

pgustafson4869 Apr 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

I think innovation is not being afraid to fail #ByronEdChat

JanelleGroehler Apr 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@korytellers I like what you're saying. How do you define the status quo? #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

It's the better that I think is SO important. Change should happen because it's better,not just change. #ByronEdChat https://t.co/yXAXeKD8BA

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1) according to @gcouros innovation = First different, then Better #byronedchat

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Welcome @pgustafson4869 and thanks for sharing your persepctive #byronedchat

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@JG0005 @gcouros how do we give opportunities to make better? Innovation for the sake of different may not be worth it. #byronedchat

77woodhouse77 Apr 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2) and the focus should be on student learning, the best trick isn’t enough if it does not help a student learn. #byronedchat

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

With all of these definitions about new ideas, this leads us into question 2: What does it look like in the classroom? Any tips #byronedchat

CaraPassentino Apr 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Looking at how some things are taught with younger kiddos, elem, can give fresh, fun perspectives #byronedchat

JanelleGroehler Apr 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@JG0005 I would agree I think it's so important to not "steal" creativity from S early in edu in order allow future innovation #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@JanelleGroehler It goes back to @gcouros and innovation being better. We need to look at what is being done now and really+ #ByronEdChat

melley80 Apr 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Looks authentic and engaging for the students. #ByronEdChat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@JanelleGroehler @gcouros +evaluate it and ask, "is this the best we can give our Ss?" If not, make the changes needed. #ByronEdChat

RyanRadke316 Apr 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2. Fun. Chaotic. Different. Loud & Fun. I like fun. #byronedchat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@JanelleGroehler @JG0005 Do you mean setting the ground work? #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@JanelleGroehler @gcouros That is what we need to ask ourselves as educators each and every day. #ByronEdChat

pgustafson4869 Apr 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2) Create an safe environment where students feel safe to take educational risks #ByronEdChat

DonlinSTEM Apr 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2) I think innovation looks more individually, student-paced, learning in the classroom. #byronedchat

JanelleGroehler Apr 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@pgustafson4869 I would agree with you completely. How do you create that safe environment in your classroom? Tips for others? #byronedchat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@pgustafson4869 Specific risks taken by a 6th grader? #byronedchat

JG0005 Apr 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2) 1-Identify a need/goal, 2-tap resources to change/redefine elements, 3-implement, 4-reflect and refine, 5-repeat w/ tweaks #byronedchat

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@melley80 how do you engage your students? #byronedchat

rdemmer05 Apr 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2) To have what we've never had, we have to do what's never been done and not be afraid of failure. #byronedchat

JanelleGroehler Apr 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@JG0005 love the steps! #byronedchat

rockychat3 Apr 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@JG0005 how would you create time for innovation? #byronedchat

JG0005 Apr 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@jenhegna @gcouros Innovation for the sake of being different is never worth it b/c then the focus was not on kids and learning #byronedchat

CaraPassentino Apr 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@JG0005 Nice #byronedchat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 Tips and tricks... ...when it seems like the world is spiraling. Be silent and listen and observe what's around you #byronedchat

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:19 PM EDT

BINGO right here! #byronedchat https://t.co/3Zn89I37o9

rockychat3 Apr 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@JG0005 how would you create time for innovation? #byronedchat

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@ByronBandMS well said. Observation is always useful especially in terms of getting to know your students #byronedchat

77woodhouse77 Apr 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@ByronBandMS somehow I find this even more meaningful coming from a band teacher #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 Innovation is going to look different in every classroom. If it looked the same it wouldn't be innovative. :) #ByronEdChat

JanelleGroehler Apr 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2) it's when I'm uncomfortable as a T with the risks and the S are uncomfortable and we make an attempt at something new #byronedchat

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@pgustafson4869 that has a lot to do with innovation! Whether you are a T or S! #byronedchat

JG0005 Apr 13 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@rockychat3 Million dollar question-I make the time when the need is great. Harder when things are going "well" #byronedchat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Agreed. Don't force some else's innovation into your classroom! #byronedchat https://t.co/EwhyyC1r9L

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 Innovation is going to look different in every classroom. If it looked the same it wouldn't be innovative. :) #ByronEdChat

TracyLermon Apr 13 @ 9:21 PM EDT

#byronedchat I am amazed how quickly innovations cycles. I mean what is cool 2day may not be tomorrow.

JanelleGroehler Apr 13 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@jenhegna I agree so how do we ensure that we push S driven Innovation and not just Innovation? #byronedchat

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Question 3 on the way in a few #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2 Innovation in the classroom is when the teacher is learning just as much as the students. #ByronEdChat

77woodhouse77 Apr 13 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@TracyLermon that's why the focus has to be student learning, not fads #byronedchat

tomtomwhalen Apr 13 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Whalen and stadler here #byronedchat

CaraPassentino Apr 13 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@77woodhouse77 Agreed #byronedchat

77woodhouse77 Apr 13 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@tomtomwhalen teaming up, I like it! #byronedchat

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@RyanRadke316 I appreciate those who see innovation as fun. But what if others dont? How do we make it safe?#byronedchat

rockychat3 Apr 13 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@77woodhouse77 @TracyLermon when done right, innovative concepts never fade, just the content wrapper #byronedchat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@JanelleGroehler @jenhegna opportunities for leadership and leaving the door open (dangerous yes but sometimes worth it!) #byronedchat

MrMur_ray Apr 13 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Hello @mrs_pankratz make sure you say hello in order to help the MS get donuts! #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2 Innovation is not becoming lazy in your classroom. It is not teaching the exact same lesson year after year. Evolve. #ByronEdChat

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@JanelleGroehler I'd like to ask you... can we force innovation? #byronedchat

MrMur_ray Apr 13 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@jenhegna If you fail you need only to understand why you failed. Then readjust and try again #formativeassessment #byronedchat

tomtomwhalen Apr 13 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Coming back from the spring conference #ridingshotgun #byronedchat

TracyLermon Apr 13 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Isn't 21st century learning kind of making us do that? #byronedchat https://t.co/XHIZvmqvdz

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@JanelleGroehler I'd like to ask you... can we force innovation? #byronedchat

pgustafson4869 Apr 13 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@jenhegna @RyanRadke316 reassurance that you can't do it "wrong" #ByronEdChat

rockychat3 Apr 13 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@jenhegna @JanelleGroehler it would be like forcing reflection and engagement #byronedchat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@rockychat3 @77woodhouse77 @TracyLermon Remember too just because it isn't new for us doesn't mean it's old to our students. #byronedchat

JG0005 Apr 13 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@rockychat3 @77woodhouse77 B/c they are about Ss and learng-that makes them timeless, that's when you know it's right #byronedchat

JanelleGroehler Apr 13 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@tomtomwhalen Hey Whalen and Stadler... How's baby Joey?? #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@jenhegna @JanelleGroehler Force is a strong word, I'd like to think we strongly encourage innovation. #ByronEdChat

77woodhouse77 Apr 13 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@ByronBandMS @rockychat3 @TracyLermon very true #byronedchat

CaraPassentino Apr 13 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@korytellers @jenhegna @JanelleGroehler Yes. Encourage. Guide. #byronedchat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:25 PM EDT

I'm still looking for specifics on innovation in the classroom. What have you got? #byronedchat

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@MrMur_ray do you think most classrooms believe that philosophy? Anyone? #byronedchat

rockychat3 Apr 13 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@korytellers @jenhegna @JanelleGroehler I think you prime an enviro for innovation and then make it exciting #byronedchat

pgustafson4869 Apr 13 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@jenhegna @JanelleGroehler I think you can force it if you are having more fun and success than others! Haha #ByronEdChat

JG0005 Apr 13 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@korytellers @jenhegna @JanelleGroehler I would prefer suport & foster, lead by example, leave the door open& room at the table #byronedchat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:26 PM EDT

I've been dabbling in reverse classroom meaning the students take the role of the teacher and I join the students. Innovative? #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@ByronBandMS It's pushing yourself as an educator to not fall into the same old same old. Really experiment with your teaching. #ByronEdChat

tomtomwhalen Apr 13 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Kahoot pre and post tests.. From stadler #byronedchat

JanelleGroehler Apr 13 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@rockychat3 @jenhegna I think we can force it, I don't think it's necessarily innovation then but sometimes I think we copy+ #byronedchat

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@rockychat3 @JanelleGroehler so how do we encourage at a district scale? #byronedchat

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:26 PM EDT

I would agree force is a strong word. I think more so encourage to reevaluate and redo to best of ability #byronedchat

MrMur_ray Apr 13 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@jenhegna Part 1) To some degree. I feel that to be a passionate teacher you cannot get stagnant in your love of the job. #byronedchat

CaraPassentino Apr 13 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@ByronBandMS Absolutely #byronedchat

TracyLermon Apr 13 @ 9:27 PM EDT

If you are lurking @aberodemeyer feel free to say hi. We have donuts on the line #byronedchat

JG0005 Apr 13 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@ByronBandMS Absolutely-you are risk-taking for learning, trying something for a desired objective #byronedchat

MrMur_ray Apr 13 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@jenhegna Part 2) T's should keep innovating and trying new things for the love of the job, not just because they are told. #byronedchat

rockychat3 Apr 13 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@jenhegna @JanelleGroehler At scale, we reformat the school day and change the goal posts of our courses if we want innovation #byronedchat

jenhegna Apr 13 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@JG0005 @korytellers @JanelleGroehler Jen, modeling may be the best form of learning. Love that! #byronedchat

JanelleGroehler Apr 13 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@rockychat3 @jenhegna +copy others innovative practices but not for the right reasons and try to pass it off as innov #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@jenhegna @MrMur_ray In the elementary they do, I think in MS/HS it might be less. #ByronEdChat

MsK_Richardson4 Apr 13 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Q3: What are some of the challenges involved in innovation? Hurdles? How do we overcome those challenges? #byronedchat

rockychat3 Apr 13 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@jenhegna @JanelleGroehler innovation is a mindset that says "we are trying our best but we can always do better" #byronedchat

JG0005 Apr 13 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@JanelleGroehler @rockychat3 @jenhegna & in copying will likely fail & blame "innovation" and retreat, self-fullfillng prophecy #byronedchat

rockychat3 Apr 13 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@jenhegna @JanelleGroehler sometimes a radical jump and crazy new idea, and often a small improvement to tweak what we have #byronedchat

CaraPassentino Apr 13 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Overwhelming ideas and figuring out what to focus on and try first #byronedchat

77woodhouse77 Apr 13 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3) Time. It is often easier and faster to do things as we’ve always done them. #ByronEdChat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:30 PM EDT

I also think innovation is often in the moment. Forget the prep and sometimes go with it!! #byronedchat

mrs_pankratz Apr 13 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@ByronBandMS attempt made to try something that feels different or lively=the novelty that our students seek! yes! to innovatve #byronedchat

TracyLermon Apr 13 @ 9:30 PM EDT

#byronedchat For me it is uniqueness. By the time I know about it I am the last to figure it out. I find it hard to be the trendsetter.

77woodhouse77 Apr 13 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3) And confusing technology for innovation, turning it into something on the iPad does not necessarily make it innovative #Byronedchat

MrMur_ray Apr 13 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@77woodhouse77 I agree. I think this would be the biggest challenge #byronedchat

korytellers - Moderator Apr 13 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3 I like to believe the only is oneself. We have to be willing to take risks, speak up and do what's best for Ss. #ByronEdChat

rockychat3 Apr 13 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3) a huge challenge is that Ss don't always like new things and don't encourage Ts to innovate -- often means more work #byronedchat

JG0005 Apr 13 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3) Biggest challenge = patience, sticking w/ iterations to see if the changes really affect learning, resisting the next "new" #byronedchat

ByronBandMS Apr 13 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3 Hurdle... ...Sometimes I think we try to do too much, micro and macro! #byronedchat

CaraPassentino Apr 13 @ 9:31 PM EDT
