  • brianrozinsky Feb 15 @ 11:09 PM EST
    A1-ish From the quote, the word that grabs me is 'intertwining.' Getting all those elements working together would be powerful. #UTedchat

  • urbie Feb 15 @ 11:11 PM EST
    #UTedchat A1a Ok.. i didn’t read the book, but i skimmed https://t.co/9TNGxDSxtq .. is digital moving away from slo-mo to hi-speed learning?

    A2 tech allows for equity of content available. So many ways to cut out $ of overpriced, underwhelming curric #utedchat

    A2. We can equalize the playing field for students by putting techonolgy into the hands of those without it. #utedchat

    A3 Two ideas for caring. Ps showing Ts they care about the difficulty converting to digital. Ts showing Ss they care by change. #utedchat
  • TeacherSweaters Feb 15 @ 11:20 PM EST
    A3 if all students know is social media, online can be a scary place! #utedchat
  • marcihouseman Feb 15 @ 11:20 PM EST
    Thanks for keeping access top of mind! A true digital conversion ensures access AND devices. #utedchat
    In reply to @MrJFawson
  • MrJFawson Feb 15 @ 11:21 PM EST
    that's certainly a possibility but I think the way tech advances so rapidly it's easy to get left out #utedchat

    Q from 1 who hasn't yet read book: If culture of caring/teaching/learning is strong, might 'digital conversion' be superfluous? #utedchat

    A3 Digital Conversion makes learning more accessible to Ss. Ts effort to convert is substantial. Must start with a place of care. #utedchat
  • TeacherSweaters Feb 15 @ 11:22 PM EST
    A2 Educators can shift perspectives of tech as world of opportunity and safe spaces when used well #utedchat
  • urbie Feb 15 @ 11:22 PM EST
    #UTedchat A3b It’s easy to get comfy w/something, to not rock the boat. But making a change, a culture of change, requires ongoing caring..

    Great comments Jennifer. Schools can help with equity by providing access to tech. #utedchat

    A3: Even when using digital tools or a blended classroom the teacher must create a caring environment where students feel safe. #UTedChat

    pervasive means the spread of an unwelcome influence or physical effect. I see more positive affects then negative #utedchat

    My thoughts exactly - we seem to be running toward digital conversion as if it's a necessary path. #utedchat

    Question 4 #utedchat
  • brianrozinsky Feb 15 @ 11:25 PM EST
    A3 Hypothesis: Caring establishes a purposeful lens through which digital (or other) conversions might be meaningfully envisioned. #utedchat
  • joerobison907 Feb 15 @ 11:25 PM EST
    A3. Relationships & classroom environment are the greatest tools to S success-both lead 2 engagement-digital ineffective w/o them #utedchat
  • TeacherSweaters Feb 15 @ 11:25 PM EST
    perhaps that's just an opportunity for pub. Ed to better position ourselves in that space...#utedchat
    In reply to @MrJFawson
  • urbie Feb 15 @ 11:25 PM EST
    “..where students feel safe” enough to take a chance on experimenting, to going where they don’t know [as much]? #UTedchat

  • edutechguys Feb 15 @ 11:27 PM EST
    A4 Q3 is all about this. The conversion is not just for the Ss. We find Ts grow so much more "converting" their past success! #UTedChat
  • covili - Moderator Feb 15 @ 11:27 PM EST
    Instead of capacity being the tech infrastructure, I think of the human capacity as each Ts and Ss gains new abilities with tech. #utedchat

    Excited to be here tonight. You guys have a wonderful #edchat #UTedChat
  • JenniferDuke123 Feb 15 @ 11:28 PM EST
    A3. Technology is fun but many students LACK digital literacy and tech. skills! All teachers need to be aware! #utedchat
    In reply to @marcihouseman
  • ronaldfisher Feb 15 @ 11:28 PM EST
    A4 I guess this goes along with the echoed phrase "If you build it they will come." #utedchat
  • marcihouseman Feb 15 @ 11:29 PM EST
    Totally agree! The momentum comes from the human capacity to use tech tools to enhance learning. #utedchat

  • urbie Feb 15 @ 11:30 PM EST
    #UTedchat A4a What kind of capacity we talking? If it’s capacity of a student’s learning then we gotta take a deep dive into what’s boring..
  • Chronicbeard Feb 15 @ 11:30 PM EST
    A4: is meaningful tech only outgrowth of meaningful culture? This goes beyond the classroom. #utedchat.

    In reply to @marcihouseman

  • marcihouseman Feb 15 @ 11:32 PM EST
    Question 5 #utedchat
  • urbie Feb 15 @ 11:32 PM EST
    #UTedchat A4b So if we want to increase a student’s capacity for engaging we have to first identify what about the experience is boring?

    A6 @jasonohler gave me aspiration to be "door opener." Collaborate w/Ss to clear relevant paths; connect Ss to what they need. #utedchat.

    Ts learn to trust students as equals when forced to be the Ss-in tech I had to let my students lead! #utedchat

    I don't think it's *just* PBL, those are components of PBL. Guiding/engaging Ss as a facilitator can happen daily. #utedchat

    A6: Formative assessment done well is critical. Everything else is window dressing. #utedchat
  • edutechguys Feb 15 @ 11:41 PM EST
    A6-This one is great. The data has to be digestible by not only the Ts, but the Ss. What each needs can be found there. #UTedChat
  • ronaldfisher Feb 15 @ 11:41 PM EST
    A6 - Keeping them on task, you should ask that at the beginning of the week, it's tiring always motivating Ss, #utedchat
  • marcihouseman Feb 15 @ 11:41 PM EST
    Would love to hear more about the definition of "done well". Totally agree! #utedchat

    A6. Data driven instruction is all about backward design! Assessing & re-teaching...that's what learning is! #utedchat

    A6 Using data to drive instruction helps Ts make changes to teaching before the regular tune-up is a blown engine. #utedchat
  • TeacherSweaters Feb 15 @ 11:42 PM EST
    A6 data allows Ss to keep themselves on track #utedchat
  • brianrozinsky Feb 15 @ 11:43 PM EST
    A6 I like how quote puts onus on both teacher & learner to use data as driver of reflection leading to next steps. #utedchat
  • edutechguys Feb 15 @ 11:43 PM EST
    A6b-this truly let's #edtech shine. Small amounts, quickly. Covering more ground & achieving results faster, cleaner, to the point #UTedChat

    A6. How do you know where you are going if you don't know where they (the students) have been?? #utedchat

    First teaching advice I ever received-don't do anything students can do themselves #data #utedchat
  • ronaldfisher Feb 15 @ 11:46 PM EST
    A7 data, planning, engagement, - ahh but it all starts with the relationships between Ss and Ts. #utedchat
  • Chronicbeard Feb 15 @ 11:47 PM EST
    Formative Assessment that is: low stakes, uses exemplars, multiple modes, immediate, frequent, differentiated, and modeled. #utedchat.

    A7 Given the demanding list of ingredients, my answer is: step by step, more forward than back, learning from frequent failures. #utedchat
  • TeacherSweaters Feb 15 @ 11:48 PM EST
    Can engaging content build relationships? Showing Ss you trust them to tackle complex or controversial topics #utedchat

    #UTedchat A6a You know what? I don’t know that the culture of keeping students on task until they get it is all it’s cracked up to be..
  • DaniKSloan Feb 15 @ 11:51 PM EST
    A7: Making time to connect with each student at least once a day. Knowing them outside of the data. Letting them see you care. #UTedChat

    #UTedchat A6b In immortal [paraphrased] words of Forrest Gump “Keeping on task is tasking keeping.” Maybe it’s time to try something else?
  • ronaldfisher Feb 15 @ 11:53 PM EST
    do we want to "Always" keep them on task, they need to be allowed some tangents in life. I agree with you! #utedchat
