#miched Archive

The #michED chat is a grassroots effort dedicated to giving teachers, students, and parents across Michigan a bigger voice in the conversation about education in our state. We welcome all voices through a variety of projects, media, and social networking. We’re trying to address educational issues through apolitical conversation, spreading ideas and stories of success from Michigan classrooms across the state, and helping teachers and students regain the courage to connect and demonstrate that schools in Michigan are creating amazing opportunities for learning. We want the face and voice of education in Michigan to be a mural of shared experiences and positive examples of connected learning.

    Q1) . Share a time when you used a technology as a gimmick/novelty, rather than a tech tool. #miched
  • mpetty39 Aug 30 @ 8:10 PM EDT
    A1) My early attempts at video projects that took way too long and buried the learning targets in tech challenges. #miched
  • sarahmomof3boys Aug 30 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1: the times I had Ss make power points just to use the tech for a presentation #miched
  • lkolb Aug 30 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    A1) . Used an cell phone polling tool to get students to participate in a review, but ended up not focusing learning, just the game. #miched
  • RMWynkoop Aug 30 @ 8:12 PM EDT
    a1: my first attempt at infographics with Ss. There wasn't a compelling "why". It showed in the products. #MichED

    A1) The Secret Door. You click on it, and it takes to you a random place in the world. Never managed to make it meaningful. #miched
  • lkolb Aug 30 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    Infographics can definitely be time consuming to do, and often don't look that great in the end (unless a lot of time). Good one! #miched

    A1 #miched Most of the time I used PowerPoint was "PowerPointless"
  • lkolb Aug 30 @ 8:15 PM EDT
    YES! I've seen this happen a lot. 3D printers are very fun, sometimes we get caught up in the fun over the learning. #miched

    Q2) . #miched
  • lkolb Aug 30 @ 8:20 PM EDT
    It's funny how we tend to equate engagement in a device/app with + learning outcomes. Research says this is not usually the case. #miched
    • sarahmomof3boys Aug 30 @ 8:18 PM EDT
      I think I was hoping for higher levels of student engagement by using technology because it's "cool"

    A2: I ❤️the social media aspect of Google Classroom to engage students in class discussion or questioning. #miched
  • RMWynkoop Aug 30 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    A2: Forums/online discussions. If designed well can serve as formative assessment, give Ss voice & create discussion #miched
  • WatersEducation Aug 30 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    A2) this year my Ss are 1:1 with devices in the classroom so I'm hoping to use Office365's Yammer program to facilitate their.. #miched
  • DreaWeiner Aug 30 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    I've had student programming robots to go through mazes that they design in teams. They worked well together. #MichED
  • donald_gately Aug 30 @ 8:22 PM EDT
    A2 Love backchannel / formative assessment tools like Padlet, TodaysMeet, Plickers, Google Classroom #miched

    A2: My Ss are 1:1 so we use them in math so I can differentiate work for Ss. #miched
  • WatersEducation Aug 30 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    A2) 2/2 ...collaboration and giving feedback to each other! Open to other suggestions too! (can't use Google docs ☹💔) #miched
  • CarrieAnnTripp Aug 30 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    What type of robots? #miched
    In reply to @DreaWeiner
  • lkolb Aug 30 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    A2) . Research is pretty clear that we need to use tech to create social learning experiences, avoid isolated learning. #miched
  • mpetty39 Aug 30 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    A2) Simulate discussion with 2 rounds of Google Forms - ask a question, then follow-up with 2nd using good responses from Ss. #miched
  • RMWynkoop Aug 30 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    And yet, "personalization" has come to mean Ss by themselves too often, on devices. #MichED

    Good point. How do we avoid this & still differentiate lessons using tech? #miched

    Part 2) I think we can do personalization with social still there! #miched
