We have one basic topic today - the best resources to stay up to date in our work .... but I'll break it down in the Qs... #iolchat

Carla23pv Jun 7 @ 12:08 PM EDT

A1 We used standards-based grading this year, so students met success by demonstrating understanding of the learning targets. #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 7 @ 12:09 PM EDT

Q1) What are your favorite sources for education/online education news and trends? #iolchat

Carla23pv Jun 7 @ 12:09 PM EDT

A4 Schoology has been a great LMS to monitor and support online learning success. #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 7 @ 12:09 PM EDT

This is a great approach, Carla - growing in higher ed, too. #iolchat

teachermike72 Jun 7 @ 12:11 PM EDT

A1: i read the stories on online ed in the CTA and AFT magazines, also listen to a couple podcasts on the topic. #iolchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 7 @ 12:12 PM EDT

CTA and AFT - professional associations? Podcasts are making a comeback! Any particular ones you recommend? #iolchat

In reply to @teachermike72

Carla23pv Jun 7 @ 12:12 PM EDT

Do you have a link to ReadWorks Digital? #IOLchat

In reply to @Carla23pv

Carla23pv Jun 7 @ 12:17 PM EDT

I teach Social Studies, but my partner teaches Science. (We swap kids).The kids loved Mystery Science.Part of the lesson is online #IOLchat

teachermike72 Jun 7 @ 12:18 PM EDT

I started at CC but found out it doesn't pay well, esp for adjuncts. Went back and got my HS credential! #iolchat

In reply to @teachermike72

teachermike72 Jun 7 @ 12:19 PM EDT

No, we can't get Ss to get interested in online classes for some reason. Might not be a great fit for HS...? #iolchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 7 @ 12:19 PM EDT

A1) If you haven't checked out @EdSurge - it's my favorite ed news source right now. Great Friday email newsletter. #iolchat

teachermike72 Jun 7 @ 12:20 PM EDT

Great! Thanks, just saved to my Pocket account. #iolchat

In reply to @Carla23pv

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 7 @ 12:21 PM EDT

Definitely a different audience. I hear that a lot re: online HS, but also a few success stories, too - Blended. #iolchat

In reply to @teachermike72

teachermike72 Jun 7 @ 12:22 PM EDT

The only way we can offer it is for early morning in person meetings...turn-off for kids :( But I believe in the concept! #iolchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd

philosophypaul Jun 7 @ 12:22 PM EDT

Curious. Several state schools use online for course remediation. Are online courses available in your larger district? #iolchat

In reply to @teachermike72, @CenterOnlineEd

Carla23pv Jun 7 @ 12:23 PM EDT

A1 Newsela (https://t.co/9PmfWH1ywL) is a great online news source for students, as well as articles across many subjects. #IOLchat

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 7 @ 12:24 PM EDT

Q2) What are your favorite education events? #professionaldevelopment online, in person, national, local, formal, informal ... #iolchat

Carla23pv Jun 7 @ 12:24 PM EDT

We have online summer school courses offered at the elementary level, but no online courses for remediation. #IOLchat

In reply to @philosophypaul, @teachermike72, @CenterOnlineEd

teachermike72 Jun 7 @ 12:25 PM EDT

No, unfortunately. We do allow kids to take Health classes online through BYU, but our district doesn't have that right now. #IOLchat

In reply to @philosophypaul, @CenterOnlineEd

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 7 @ 12:26 PM EDT

Wow! Elementary level sounds especially challenging (for me at least) re: design. #iolchat

In reply to @Carla23pv, @philosophypaul, @teachermike72

teachermike72 Jun 7 @ 12:26 PM EDT

Just heard about Newsela yesterday at a PD day. Can't wait to try it out with kids! #IOLchat

In reply to @Carla23pv

teachermike72 Jun 7 @ 12:26 PM EDT

A2 Love seeing demonstrations of stuff in person, but would be amenable to an online conference as well. #iolchat

Carla23pv Jun 7 @ 12:26 PM EDT

A2 My favorite education events are ones when I walk away with something I can use in the classroom. Our district has many options. #IOLchat

philosophypaul Jun 7 @ 12:27 PM EDT

A2 Favs. include OLC conferences, state NC-ACTE confernce, & #Twitter chats Check out #whatisschool or #BFC530 or #edtechchat #IOLchat

In reply to @teachermike72, @OLCToday, @tcchawaii

Carla23pv Jun 7 @ 12:27 PM EDT

Yes, the articles are high-interest. I love the questions and getting their scores w/o grading! #IOLchat

In reply to @teachermike72

teachermike72 Jun 7 @ 12:28 PM EDT

IMHO any event that DOESN'T give us something to use in th classroom right away is a waste of time! #iolchat

In reply to @Carla23pv

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 7 @ 12:28 PM EDT

Agreed! Practical application take-aways are important. #iolchat

The way Newsela was explained to me it's more of a formative assessment tool, you agree? #IOLchat

Yes, I would agree. Some of the questions are skill-specific. They are challenging, but you can set the reading level, too. #IOLchat

Yes, and I heard you can write your own short answer questions too...? #iolchat

Carla23pv Jun 7 @ 12:35 PM EDT

I haven't seen that feature. The students can respond to questions that are short-answer or multiple choice or a mixture, I think. #IOLchat

In reply to @teachermike72

teachermike72 Jun 7 @ 12:36 PM EDT

Drat! Can't make the one on 6/13, am at a course team meeting :/ #iolchat

In reply to @CenterOnlineEd, @philosophypaul

teachermike72 Jun 7 @ 12:37 PM EDT

I may be wrong about that feature. How often do you use Newsela? Colleagues use it about once a week. #iolchat

In reply to @Carla23pv

CenterOnlineEd - Moderator Jun 7 @ 12:37 PM EDT

Check in with them monthly for new topics! I think they also publish some sort of summary. (?) #iolchat

IStation is a great online reading program. It has a math portion, but we haven't started that yet. TenMarks is our math biggie. #IOLchat

OHMWelker Jun 7 @ 12:40 PM EDT

In reply to @Carla23pv, @philosophypaul, @CenterOnlineEd, @podnetwork, @ITCeLearning

Are those programs geared for elementary students? Might be a good reason I never heard of them #iolchat
