Q1 How do you leverage technology to help enhance the teaching and learning of mathematics in your classroom? #TCMchat

poly_math_ Apr 12 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Hi. I'm the @MTMS_at_NCTM panel chair. Middle school math dept chair in NY...here to support sister journal #TCMchat

MFAnnie Apr 12 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A1: I've used dynamic math tools (Sketchpad), and also screencasting (mostly encouraged others to use them). #TCMchat

BethNctm Apr 12 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Hi Doc! :-) #TCMchat

Hello! Megan from American School of Dubai - teaching and learning coach Pk-G8 math #TCMchat

MikeRashidMath Apr 12 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Ss use apps like @explainevrythng to explain how they solved problems/ explaining algorithms. Can share with Ss and parents. #tcmchat

TCM_at_NCTM - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Q2 Have you used screencasting to allow your Ss to share solution strategies? What opportunities has it afforded you and your Ss? #TCMchat

poly_math_ Apr 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Love Sketchpad! I know a lot of teachers who also use Geogebra #tcmchat

In reply to @MFAnnie

LisaCyrCoburn Apr 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Lisa Coburn here. Math coach in Auburn Maine. Part of research & practice project that has been using screen casting #TCMChat

megyzr Apr 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: much like the content of the article, our teachers are using screencasts to capture Ss thinking, strategies, reasoning. #TCMchat

BESMrPotter Apr 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

We use explain everything, reflector, and Schoology to share solution paths and reasoning for task based lessons. #TCMchat

MFAnnie Apr 12 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Been with Sketchpad since berfore the beginning, so hard to shift my preferences :-) #TCMchat

In reply to @poly_math_

daledaze Apr 12 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1a: I've encouraged students to use apps like Minecraft &ShowMe to share their thinking in math #TCMchat

themathgirl Apr 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Struggle with this. Love apps and technology where kids talk to each other like padlet and others I can't think of right now. #TCMchat

MFAnnie Apr 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A2: Having Gr4 Ss make screencasts of quadrilateral constructions gave lots of insight into their understanding of quad properties. #TCMchat

poly_math_ Apr 12 @ 9:12 PM EDT

I agree... #TCMchat

In reply to @MFAnnie

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Hi everyone Mark Instructional Coach Niagara Canada Jumping in late This is something I don't have much experience with #tcmchat

megyzr Apr 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: Ss from PREK up use SeeSaw, Shadow Puppet. Allows Ss to share, T to learn about Ss thinking - without time limit during class #TCMchat

themathgirl Apr 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Late to the chat. Name is Natalie Moon. Math Coach #TCMchat

LisaCyrCoburn Apr 12 @ 9:13 PM EDT

We have done lots of work with screen casting and developing mathematical practices. Check out https://t.co/6u8YJPL1TT #TCMChat

MikeRashidMath Apr 12 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Many of our primary classrooms use @Seesaw. Super student friendly and great connection to home. #tcmchat

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2 While I do capture my Ss thinking a lot via pic/movies, and have shared some of these, I haven't made this a real priority. #tcmchat

LisaCyrCoburn Apr 12 @ 9:16 PM EDT

We use Showbie to manage. Great way to give feedback! #TCMChat

LisaCyrCoburn Apr 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Q2 It is amazing at how much you can learn from a Ss recording- so much more informative than static work. #TCMChat

megyzr Apr 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: we also ask Ss to look/listen to each other's strategies and give feedback - not daily - yet another plus of tech in this way #TCMchat

BESMrPotter Apr 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

My daughter's 1st grade teacher uses seasaw to show off Her work to her mother and I. We love it and our little one is always proud #TCMchat

LisaCyrCoburn Apr 12 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Q2: We have also found that students love to review their recordings and often self correct! #TCMChat

MFAnnie Apr 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Great! Keep us updated on how things are going. #TCMchat

In reply to @megyzr, @poly_math_

BethNctm Apr 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

I'd like to know how you manage your time. How are you able to watch/listen to all Ss? #TCMchat

LisaCyrCoburn Apr 12 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Q2 It is amazing at how much you can learn from a Ss recording- so much more informative than static work. #TCMChat

MikeRashidMath Apr 12 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Same with my second grader. Also helps conversations at home each night. Not as much, "What did you do at school today?" "Nothing." #TCMchat

In reply to @BESMrPotter

TCM_at_NCTM - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q3 In what ways could (or does) screencasting help you select and sequence student solutions and representations #TCMchat

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Big fan of SeeSaw too. Loved downloading my daughters portfolio of work at the end of the year. Very cool. #TCMChat

In reply to @MikeRashidMath, @BESMrPotter

megyzr Apr 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Yes! Seesaw allows for that shared digital community; it's one of the favorites among our parents for that reason. #tcmchat

In reply to @BESMrPotter

pearse_margie Apr 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: Just saw a teacher use Shadow Puppet. Pretty cool. @Seesaw is a favorite. #tcmchat

poly_math_ Apr 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

That's great! I like that Sketchpad is also compatible with our Smartboard... #TCMchat

In reply to @megyzr, @MFAnnie

MikeRashidMath Apr 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Great tool for self editing and revising. Amazing what happens when the audience expands beyond the teacher. #tcmchat

In reply to @LisaCyrCoburn

LisaCyrCoburn Apr 12 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q2 We have had Ss that were selectivly mute in class that do make recordings! Everyone has a voice:) #TCMChat

daledaze Apr 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Q2: Screencasting is a great way for students to share their thinking with one another; they enjoy being the teacher! #tcmchat

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

I really like in the intro the distinction made between what might be more and less productive uses of screencasting #tcmchat

In reply to @MikeRashidMath

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: Can't wait to hear what you folks have to say on this one! How can discourse being enhanced by tech? So cool. #TCMChat

MikeRashidMath Apr 12 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Agreed! I still go back and look at some of my daughter's work from last year. Great way to see growth. #tcmchat

In reply to @Zakchamp, @BESMrPotter

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Me too Mark. I'm thinking we're not big fans of technology for technology's sake. #TCMChat

In reply to @MarkChubb3, @MikeRashidMath

megyzr Apr 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A favorite shadow puppet came from a PreK he explains "rectanglers" to us as having "2 short sides and 2 long sides" - fantastic! #TCMchat

In reply to @pearse_margie, @Seesaw

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Maybe "priority" isn't right word Often, I try to replicate things with the group, but capturing thinking might be ideal at times! #tcmchat

In reply to @MikeRashidMath

themathgirl Apr 12 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Elem college cls used padlet to explain one thing they understood about a problem then had them prove or disprove someone else's. #TCMChat

poly_math_ Apr 12 @ 9:24 PM EDT

That's great! ...always looking for ways to support each and every student's voice in the classroom... #TCMchat

In reply to @LisaCyrCoburn

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3 Without having extensive experience, I imagine that both in-the-moment and captured thinking require similar thinking... #tcmchat

BESMrPotter Apr 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3 using nearpod lets me glance at everyone's answers and diagrams and project in ascending order or to emphasize a certain skill #TCMchat

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3 However, I do see value in being able to rewind and revisit thinking to help us select. #tcmchat

themathgirl Apr 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@pearse_margie Want to learn seesaw and shadow puppet?? Never heard of the puppet one. #TCMChat

MikeRashidMath Apr 12 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Zak, sometimes the best technology is the pencil! #TCMchat

In reply to @Zakchamp, @MarkChubb3

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 WHile selecting is really important, I don't want Ts to be bogged down & not consolidate because they couldn't pick Ss work #tcmchat

themathgirl Apr 12 @ 9:28 PM EDT

I have 5th teachers using IXL. Not a fan b/c the kids don't try to figure out what they did wrong they just keep trying till 100% #TCMChat

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

I see value in revisiting the thinking you had... then communicate about it. I also see value in explaining what you thought #tcmchat

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:29 PM EDT

I heard @eluberoff talk at #NCTMAnnual and he said, "If you can do it with paper and pencil, THEN do it with paper and pencil." #TCMChat

In reply to @MikeRashidMath, @MarkChubb3, @eluberoff

ThomasAmandaL Apr 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

I agree. Nearpod is a great tool to support the five practices for orchestrating discussion- selecting and sequencing, especially #TCMChat

In reply to @BESMrPotter

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Ugh... #TCMChat

In reply to @themathgirl

TCM_at_NCTM - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Q4 How can screencasting support Ss as they engage with SMP 4 (Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others)? #TCMChat

MikeRashidMath Apr 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

I love a good whiteboard and marker! #TCMchat

In reply to @BESMrPotter

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:30 PM EDT

I'm not a fan! I like things that help you learn... not just see what you already know! #tcmchat

In reply to @themathgirl

megyzr Apr 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Agreed. We make options like that a "home choice" & focus on tech to share thnkg, strats etc - requires process & often reflection #TCMchat

In reply to @themathgirl

MFAnnie Apr 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

I've done a lot of work, and an NCTM talk, about "strategic uses of tech" - why use it? How does it impact choices you make? Fun. #tcmchat

In reply to @Zakchamp, @MikeRashidMath, @MarkChubb3, @eluberoff

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

So screencasting might be able to capture what you did with your pencil though! #tcmchat

In reply to @Zakchamp, @MikeRashidMath, @eluberoff

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: Screencasting is definitely a powerful way for Ss to share their work and have others critique their reasoning. #TCMChat

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Totally - and it can make it easier to share that work with the rest of the class. #TCMChat

In reply to @MarkChubb3, @MikeRashidMath, @eluberoff

JaneMWilburne Apr 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Anne, good point. Technology should be used strategically to be sure it is not just an add on. #TCMchat

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4 Often as Ss are thinking, they write down their process. SMP4 might ask them to make a final product of their thoughts #tcmchat

megyzr Apr 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: when Ss listen, respond to each other's screencast, even early learners. Oppty to agree/not, say why, give feedback, etc. #TCMchat

MFAnnie Apr 12 @ 9:33 PM EDT

In @CueThink Ss watch each other's vids and can leave comments. So experiencing both sides of SMP3 at the same time. #TCMchat

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4 Being able to listen to others' thinking opens up the door for more conversation about others' reasoning! #tcmchat

Kidsmathtalk Apr 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Screencasting will give all students, especially shy ss, a chance to share and critique and question without being overwhelmed #TCMChat

MikeRashidMath Apr 12 @ 9:34 PM EDT

It's important to keep the SAMR model in mind. https://t.co/Tobf1tdN7Q Shouldn't be using tech just to use tech. #TCMchat

In reply to @Zakchamp, @MarkChubb3, @eluberoff

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

No worries! If we were having an in person conversation, I wouldn't shame you for taking us off topic. It's how we communicate. #TCMChat

In reply to @themathgirl

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Yeah totally. I'm not implying that screencasting shouldn't be used. It's other ed tech that worries me. #TCMChat

In reply to @LisaCyrCoburn, @MikeRashidMath, @MarkChubb3, @eluberoff

megyzr Apr 12 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Agreed. So often Ss easily tell you what they did, but the same thinking doesn't make it to paper. Screencast grabs the math story. #TCMchat

In reply to @MarkChubb3

pearse_margie Apr 12 @ 9:36 PM EDT

I really like posting work side-by-side for students to notice, compare and contrast. Can that be done too with screencasting? #TCMChat

In reply to @Zakchamp, @MarkChubb3, @MikeRashidMath, @eluberoff

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Different Ts have different goals Some record Ss thinking so they can evaluate each Some record so they can deepen the learning! #TCMchat

themathgirl Apr 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@TCM_at_NCTM "What about classkick?" Opinions?? #TCMchat

ThomasAmandaL Apr 12 @ 9:37 PM EDT

The Replace-Amplify-Transform (RAT) framework is another useful way of thinking about HOW technology is being used #TCMChat

In reply to @MikeRashidMath, @Zakchamp, @MarkChubb3, @eluberoff

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Not sure I like the acronym here! :) #tcmchat

Q5 In what ways are you planning to use screencasting in an upcoming lesson or lessons? What’s your takeaway from tonight? #TCMchat

norhan_baaj Apr 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

#TCMChat Using Nearpod in my practicum proved to be an effective tool to gauge student understanding within minutes of teaching.

In reply to @ThomasAmandaL, @BESMrPotter

brookieeedee Apr 12 @ 9:40 PM EDT

#TCMChat We created a lesson using Nearpod in my TEAC 259A class and I had a lot of fun using it.

In reply to @ThomasAmandaL, @BESMrPotter

ThomasAmandaL Apr 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

I can't take credit for the acronym or the framework :) But it does guide some of my work https://t.co/vYOHPplyBx #TCMChat

In reply to @MarkChubb3, @MikeRashidMath, @Zakchamp, @eluberoff

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5: I'd love to find ways to use screen casting to compare and contrast two student strategies. Thanks for the tip @pearse_margie! #TCMChat

LisaCyrCoburn Apr 12 @ 9:42 PM EDT

I have teachers that are doing 3 act tasks and Ss will record their thinking. #tcmchat

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:43 PM EDT

"Feedback" is important but does feedback help us -get same answer -make connections -see new strategies -reveal misconceptions ? #tcmchat

edcrpcollab Apr 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

One T we work with said screencasting changed those convos from "can't-do" to "can-do" to build on what Ss already know #tcmchat

In reply to @MarkChubb3

BESMrPotter Apr 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

I plan on using screencasting to get Ss talking about their own learning, listening and reasoning with peers #TCMchat

megyzr Apr 12 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A5: many Ts use it for daily Math Message. G1, we discuss explore as part of coaching cycle. (Ex) What does the S thnkg tell us? #TCMchat

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Do you use @CueThink regularly? #tcmchat

In reply to @MFAnnie, @CueThink, @CueThink

pearse_margie Apr 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Yes, I want to try this too with @Seesaw #TCMchat

In reply to @Zakchamp, @Seesaw

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

OOOOH. I'm intrigued. Can you say more about how can screencasting do that? #TCMChat

In reply to @edcrpcollab, @MarkChubb3

LisaCyrCoburn Apr 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Ts have uploaded work done with open apps from math learning center into Explain Everything. #tcmchat

megyzr Apr 12 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A5: interested in Ss comparing and talking side by side screencasts. #TCMchat

ThomasAmandaL Apr 12 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Agreed. Everything always points back to how any technology is being used to support teaching and learning. #TCMChat

In reply to @themathgirl, @norhan_baaj, @BESMrPotter

MFAnnie Apr 12 @ 9:47 PM EDT

I don't, since I don't have my own Ss. I bet @CueThink could offer some Twitter names. I wonder if @mr_stadel is still using it? #TCMchat

In reply to @MarkChubb3, @CueThink, @CueThink, @mr_stadel

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:47 PM EDT

I always ask, how is this technology enhancing the teaching & learning in the classroom. If it's just prettier, I'm not interested #TCMChat

In reply to @ThomasAmandaL, @themathgirl, @norhan_baaj, @BESMrPotter

TCM_at_NCTM - Moderator Apr 12 @ 9:50 PM EDT

Q6 What are some of your favorite tech tools to support effective teaching practices? #TCMchat

Zakchamp Apr 12 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A6: Best part of the @Storify coming up right now. Everyone - share away! #TCMChat

LisaCyrCoburn Apr 12 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Math Learning Center apps-money pieces, number rack, money pieces, number frames, fraction bars...Ss have to do the work! #tcmchat

MFAnnie Apr 12 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Sketchpad, Desmos, the new Desmos geometry tool, and screen capture movies w/my online grad students, who never met in person! #TCMchat

LisaCyrCoburn Apr 12 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Showbie! #tcmchat

LisaCyrCoburn Apr 12 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Explain Everything! #tcmchat

megyzr Apr 12 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6: depends on purpose (SAMR) ❤️seesaw, shadow puppet; interactive apps for stations (DragonBox!); video to record T/Ss share thnkg #TCMchat

ThomasAmandaL Apr 12 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Screencasting apps, of course 😄 I also use the BrainingCamp suite of apps and virtual manipulatives quite often. #TCMChat

MarkChubb3 Apr 12 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A6 I'm listening to your ideas right now! #tcmchat

edcrpcollab Apr 12 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Ss could go back and revise their work w/o feeling like they "got it wrong"-instead they figured out a strategy that doesn't work. #tcmchat
