Hi everyone! Mike from Manchester, TN jumping in on #TNTechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Q1: Tech allows the path of learning to be more personalized, what inhibits this at your school? #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:04 PM EDT

@mike_stein33 Hi Mike, glad you could join us! I know you will add much! #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:05 PM EDT

a1: Grade levels, bell schedules are two big things #tntechchat

mike_stein33 Apr 19 @ 8:05 PM EDT

A1 Honestly, the students' digital divide inhibits it. They know how to use social media, but not tech for school #TNTechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A2 Schools have been set up to get people out mill style #tntechchat

gphilhower Apr 19 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Hello #TNtechchat George here, assistant superintendent from IN.

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@mike_stein33 YES- digital natives does not necessarily mean digital learners. #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@gphilhower Welcome! Great to have you join us tonight. #tntechchat

ambielyn19 Apr 19 @ 8:06 PM EDT

#tntechchat No internet during standardized testing. 👎

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@ambielyn19 there is that :( welcome Amber! #tntechchat

mike_stein33 Apr 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 Time is another factor. I need time to digitally personalize the learning for the students. Difficult to do consistently #TNTechchat

Q1: Tech allows the path of learning to be more personalized, what inhibits this at your school? #tntechchat

ambielyn19 Apr 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT

It's been bad with testing scattered throughout a month #tntechchat https://t.co/o1McphPqqV

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@ambielyn19 there is that :( welcome Amber! #tntechchat

gphilhower Apr 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: traditional timelines(semesters), grades, credits can all get in the way #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@mike_stein33 Yes, if we don't look for ways to do this efficiently it's a HUGE deal. #tntechchat

gphilhower Apr 19 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@chargerrific thanks... Excited to be here! #TNtechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@gphilhower And it's hard to get away from generations of that being the norm #tntechchat

Gregbagby Apr 19 @ 8:09 PM EDT

A1) The must dos that are placed on the tech. "Must do this math intervention..." #TnTechChat

gphilhower Apr 19 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@mike_stein33 thanks Mike... Excited to be here #TNtechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:10 PM EDT

mike_stein33 Apr 19 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2 I don't think that seat time requirements exist in TN anymore #TNTechchat

mike_stein33 Apr 19 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2 I could be wrong, though #TNTechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@mike_stein33 Students don't have to go certain number of days? #tntechchat

gphilhower Apr 19 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: For some states it makes competency-based credit accrual impossible. #TNtechchat

Gregbagby Apr 19 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2) seat time was about money but surely we can do something better. #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 Seat time to make sure Ss were receiving amt of time needed for learning objectives but as @Gregbagby its about money now #tntechchat

tcarey98 Apr 19 @ 8:15 PM EDT

mike_stein33 Apr 19 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@chargerrific If I am correct, Ss r allowed so many absences during the sch yr, but don't have 2 attend X # of days 2 get credit #TNTechchat

nathan_stevens Apr 19 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@chargerrific A2 who knows. Students should be allowed to move as activity dictates #TnTechChat https://t.co/wTEhCuIgSO

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:16 PM EDT

a2: It would be great if there were a way to track personalized learning time accrued by students outside the classroom. #tntechchat

gphilhower Apr 19 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@chargerrific Even though the purpose of our what we do has changed quite a bit... from education for all to learning for all #TNtechchat

craigyen Apr 19 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Good evening #tntechchat 4th grade teacher from CA who is tardy

laurhobbs Apr 19 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A1: We are traditional in schools, learning is not traditional anymore, we have to adjust to find success in these environments #TNtechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@mike_stein33 is that for all schools or magnet/charters? I don't know. #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@craigyen Hey Craig! Glad to have you #tntechchat

craigyen Apr 19 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2) There are regulations with seat time??? We have instructional minutes in elementary. Is that seat time? #tntechchat

nathan_stevens Apr 19 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@chargerrific just got done with class. Nothing stirs the soul like 3D printing and book visualization #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Q3: What are the drawbacks/incoveniences of personalization of education? #Tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@laurhobbs Welcome Lauren! #tntechchat

tcarey98 Apr 19 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: Seat time has a directly correlation to staffing. Which is directly related to budgets. Could be a slippery slope. #tntechchat

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@laurhobbs exactly - the transition away from lock-step education. Students can pursue varied subjects at varied paces. #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@craigyen same. #tntechchat includes number of days required to be there in a school year

craigyen Apr 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3) Understanding where different students are at for different times might be difficult to track for each teacher. #tntechchat

craigyen Apr 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

It's 180 days in California. #tntechchat https://t.co/QFNo1EDzKW

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@craigyen same. #tntechchat includes number of days required to be there in a school year

tcarey98 Apr 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: Lots of troubleshooting when devices don't work. #tntechchat

Gregbagby Apr 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3) The only drawback I can think of with personalization of education is time in finding the starting points for each student. #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3: Making sure Ss are supported in various places and curriculum is fulling mapped for learning objectives to be met #tntechchat

craigyen Apr 19 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Yup... can through a damper on things. Especiallyif relying on it to assist with personalization. #tntechchat https://t.co/USj3n0A4n6

tcarey98 Apr 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: Lots of troubleshooting when devices don't work. #tntechchat

laurhobbs Apr 19 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2: Time regulations adjust bc adults and systems need them, not necessarily created with student led outcomes at the forefront. #TNtechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@laurhobbs well said! For admin, organized chaos is a scary thing to monitor though ;) #tntechchat

craigyen Apr 19 @ 8:25 PM EDT

There's not a one size fits all, though I guess there never was in the first place. I'm ramble-tweeting. #tntechchat https://t.co/cLQ8Ebo4lw

A3: Making sure Ss are supported in various places and curriculum is fulling mapped for learning objectives to be met #tntechchat

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@Gregbagby also, I think making sure they are challenging themselves. It's a lot to keep track of for 20+ students. #tntechchat

laurhobbs Apr 19 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Sorry I was late.... Lauren Manager of Education Strategy @delledu Excited to learn with you all tonight #tntechchat

Try 34 students in 4th grade. #tntechchat What are the class size limits in Tennessee? https://t.co/mGhYy9v7ef

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@Gregbagby also, I think making sure they are challenging themselves. It's a lot to keep track of for 20+ students. #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:27 PM EDT

a3: It means a complete breakdown of "grade levels" and has to be where Ss either can go ahead or go deeper. Good probs. #tntechchat

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:27 PM EDT

How can parents play a role in helping with personalization at home? Efforts like @TechGoesHomeCHA #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@craigyen Wow. That's a lot of kids. @Gregbagby what's HCDE class limit? #tntechchat

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@teachintechgal Hello Katrina #TnTechChat

mike_stein33 Apr 19 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3 It's a lot of data points for a lot of Ss. Most HS Ts have 120+ Ss during the day. Needs to be easy and efficient #TNTechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Q4: How can schools implement the ability for Ss to have voice/choice within current settings? #Tntechchat

laurhobbs Apr 19 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3: Not providing resources/tools to Ts and Ss in a way that creates empowerment and flexibility throughout the learning process #TNtechchat

craigyen Apr 19 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Yeah... 34 seems a bit excessive... The K get a break at 32... and 1st - 3rd get a break at 31. #tntechchat https://t.co/LGmkGtDqVr

@craigyen Parapro support? #tntechchat

Gregbagby Apr 19 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A4) Allow students that are willing to hijack their learning and make it their own. I've seen this done in Henry Co. Ga. #TnTechChat

craigyen Apr 19 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@chargerrific What's that? Minimal... our PTA pays for hours. We get 2 hours per week. #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@LibTechJules @mike_stein33 and softwares that are intuitive to meet students where they are #tntechchat

@craigyen My admiration of you just increased substantially! hats off to you for managing that size classroom #tntechchat

mike_stein33 Apr 19 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A4 Ts all the time complain that standardized testing = standardized curriculum. #TNReady requires Ss individualization #TNTechchat

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@chargerrific @mike_stein33 - and co-developed with teachers. The ones in the trenches can tell developers what works. #tntechchat

A4) How can we not? Gve them choices. Listen to their needs. Choose times to implement and make it priority. #tntechchat

mike_stein33 Apr 19 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A4 Ss can choose what assignments or proj. to complete, what to annotate in txt, how 2 demonstrate mastery in #TTOG environment #TNTechchat

A4 Students can always go deeper if the curriculum isn't built out for further. Allowing Ss personalization leads to engagement #tntechchat

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Self-assessment and metacognition add to the process for students. What am I doing well? How am I learning? Online journals! #tntechchat

gphilhower Apr 19 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@chargerrific especially if they can be 1:1 so goals can be individualized #tntechchat

Q5: As educators that value technology-rich classrooms, how can we show we are balanced in our views? Should we? #Tntechchat

craigyen Apr 19 @ 8:40 PM EDT

It's good to have that balance between the two... Sometimes I'll meld them or let students choose #tntechchat https://t.co/ewT6ds0nzF

nathan_stevens Apr 12 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@teachintechgal A5 I do as many hand craft projects as tech activities. Have to balance the two #tntechchat https://t.co/I4PVqblhRk

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@jonogle1981 Welcome! Love the choices! #tntechchat

laurhobbs Apr 19 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@chargerrific yay! Love false Qs! @nathan_stevens is the best at this! CUE funny gif! #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:41 PM EDT

Q5: What benefits do Ss receive in a personalized learning environment? #Tntechchat

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@jonogle1981 like assessment Bingo or Connect Four! #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@laurhobbs Even small choices make a big difference for Ss and a sense of feeling respected #tntechchat

craigyen Apr 19 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A5) Make sure tht we're not just using tech for tech's sake. Show the value of our use. #tntechchat

mike_stein33 Apr 19 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@LibTechJules YES! I can't wait to implement this next yr! The upcoming class of Ss is supposed to be "tough" but this'll help #TNTechchat

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A5: easier for them to be "seen" as learners and harder to fall between the cracks. #tntechchat

@chargerrific A3 without personalized learning students have trouble buying in #TnTechChat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@tntechgal Welcome #tntechtwin #tntechchat

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@mike_stein33 engagement is even more important with challenging classes. They need the "why." You have great ideas! #tntechchat

tntechgal Apr 19 @ 8:43 PM EDT

late night at work & yes had to grab my boy @chargerrific has my number :-) #tntechchat https://t.co/bsNrymEy4e

A5) Students learn at their own pace. Can make good gains. #TnTechChat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:44 PM EDT

And engagement happens when they are invested! #tntechchat https://t.co/65oNmbvOeX

gphilhower Apr 19 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A5: Ss own and are engaged in their learning when they see school as something that is done for/with them instead of to them #tntechchat

mike_stein33 Apr 19 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A5 All Ss learn at their own pace anyway, so individualization through technology makes it more acceptable w/o other Ss noticing #TNTechchat

tntechgal Apr 19 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@chargerrific hello 2nd half of the #TNTechDuo!!! #tntechchat

nathan_stevens Apr 19 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@teachintechgal @chargerrific tweeting and driving is not as easy as it looks #tntechchat https://t.co/3VIqi0HJCA

gphilhower Apr 19 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@chargerrific lots of potential gaps in learning when we move the heard based upon score and sequence #TNtechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Have you all seen this? #personalizedLearning #TnTechChat https://t.co/VMV286f5U5

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@gphilhower I think the power of personalization will help more Ss feel more confident in learning and less anti-school #tntechchat

tntechgal Apr 19 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5: educ tailored to the Ss needs/levels & ideally mastery learning always occurs b/c there is no 1 size fits all approach #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@Gregbagby Love this! #tntechchat https://t.co/ubJAWEb4NZ

@chargerrific control leads to compliance...autonomy leads to engagement... And engagement leads to mastery #TNtechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@gphilhower and mastery leads to educationally confident ninjas! ok... maybe not ;) #tntechchat

gphilhower Apr 19 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@chargerrific And there are not many things we need less of than anti-school! #TNtechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@Gregbagby where did you find that? #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:49 PM EDT

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:50 PM EDT

Q6: As an educator what do we fear most about personalization of education? Has this chat helped to see benefits? #tntechchat

Gregbagby Apr 19 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@chargerrific It was a from some Pathways to personalized learning thing I was taught about. #tntechchat

nathan_stevens Apr 19 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@chargerrific A4 let students tell parent how they are using tools #tntechchat https://t.co/ECHaue6aTE

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@Gregbagby ummm citation please? Kidding - librarian humor. #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A6: To do it well it is an overhaul of our current school system-lunches to buses to grades, so much to take on but so worth it! #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens YES #tntechchat

nathan_stevens Apr 19 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@chargerrific A5 students get to use items that they are comfortable with &have more instructional time #TnTechChat https://t.co/qHQdeIwywJ

tntechgal Apr 19 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A6: avg Ts-fear of feeling overwhelmed to meet the needs of every Ss & adding to a Ts work load & does it meet std testing req #tntechchat

Gregbagby Apr 19 @ 8:52 PM EDT

I love librarians... found it. https://t.co/ndqjsitItg #TnTechChat https://t.co/xLGONaWwq4

mike_stein33 Apr 19 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A6 I think educators r generally clueless on how 2 effectively personalize learning. Not intuitive process. T must seek out how #TNTechchat

Hacking, Innovating and Failing Well—How Tech Sector Principles Can Revolutionize Education...- EdSurge https://t.co/4CNtjDb7Eq #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@tntechgal And I do believe some Ts think they will be replaced by tech..sadly misunderstanding. #tntechchat

mike_stein33 Apr 19 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A6 That said, most Ts want to individualize, but just need someone to show them how. The @TNedu summer courses will help! #TNTechchat

nathan_stevens Apr 19 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@chargerrific A6 nothing. I enjoy learning about student interest #Tntechchat https://t.co/lQ8k8l4Q9p

Gregbagby Apr 19 @ 8:54 PM EDT

If teachers are screaming for personalized PD, don't we think the kids deserve the same. #TnTechChat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@mike_stein33 And it isn't easy. It is just rewarding. #tntechchat

LibTechJules Apr 19 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@chargerrific @tntechgal yes - nothing to be threatened by. It's just another way to inspire children! #tntechchat

craigyen Apr 19 @ 8:54 PM EDT

Gregbagby Apr 19 @ 8:54 PM EDT

If teachers are screaming for personalized PD, don't we think the kids deserve the same. #TnTechChat

tntechgal Apr 19 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@chargerrific agreed #tntechchat

tntechgal Apr 19 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@LibTechJules @chargerrific true! think part of the fear is due to lack of comfort & other part is lack of understanding #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Apr 19 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@tntechgal @LibTechJules Whats the quote? "tech won't replace Ts but Ts that don't use tech will be replaced" ? #tntechchat

craigyen Apr 19 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A6) I fear the time that it will take for schools and educators to shift in this direction. #TnTechChat

PegGrafwallner Apr 19 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@Gregbagby YES! I am so frustrated sitting thru PD that I could give - w/ my eyes closed! Now imagine our Ss! #TnTechChat

laurhobbs Apr 19 @ 8:56 PM EDT
