shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:07 PM EDT

A1. When exciting things have happened in classrooms made possible by edtech. #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:08 PM EDT

A1 Growth for Ts &Ss, a little fun here & there, sharing, mutual respect earned, & continued employment #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:09 PM EDT

A1:Data that supports how tech interventions have improved student achievement (and hopefully boosted engagement!) #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:09 PM EDT

@MsFagin Continued employment is always a good thing! #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:10 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU Definitely! It's at the top of my list! #ETCoaches

We want to hear about your successes this year! Chime in on #ETCoaches!

eastpco_tech May 31 @ 1:10 PM EDT

A1: When you end a year reflecting and excited to start a new one soon! #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:11 PM EDT

Q2: What’s your most memorable moment/success you & your Ts/Ss have had this year? #ETCoaches

jaclynbstevens May 31 @ 1:12 PM EDT

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:12 PM EDT

@jaclynbstevens Impt. to recognize both, for sure! How do you measure growth? #ETCoaches

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:12 PM EDT

Joining in late but glad to be here! Jessica from DC, tech coach. #ETCoaches

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:13 PM EDT

A2. There have been lots of them, but work with a special needs S among the top. #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:13 PM EDT

@journeysofjess Welcome, Jessica! (DC is my favorite place to visit!!) #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:14 PM EDT

@shoemap I love how tech has afforded so many opportunities for Ss with special needs to be successful #ETCoaches

jaclynbstevens May 31 @ 1:14 PM EDT

A2: Getting leadership to embrace the Knoster Model! https://t.co/54ZAo0qJdU #ETCoaches #SuccessfulChange #Leadership #makingAdifference

eastpco_tech May 31 @ 1:14 PM EDT

A2: Moving to performance assessments has been a huge catalyst for edtech change in our district! #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:14 PM EDT

Popping in late to #ETCoaches chat. Michelle from IN DOE.

EdTechCoaches - Moderator May 31 @ 1:15 PM EDT

Don’t miss the opportunity to meet with #ETCoaches in person during our annual meeting at #ISTE2016 Monday June 27, 5:30-6:45pm MDT

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:15 PM EDT

@eastpco_tech Wonderful! Data helps reluctant Ts & admin to see value in #edtech #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:15 PM EDT

A2 Ts having success w/ GAFE & integrating tech. Several didn't think they could make the switch from Microsoft but they did. #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:15 PM EDT

@jaclynbstevens Wonderful! #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:15 PM EDT

@mrg_3 Welcome, Michelle! Glad you’re here! #ETCoaches

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:16 PM EDT

@MsFagin I had the same experience. Now they do not want to go back! #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:16 PM EDT

@MsFagin My success is similar; piloted GAFE in 2 schools this year. #ETCoaches

jaclynbstevens May 31 @ 1:16 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU So many ways! Data, surveys, formal & informal focus groups, Getting Ts & Ss to show me what they have learned. #ETCoaches

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:16 PM EDT

A2: Memorable moments r kids calling me "computer lady" in the halls/classrooms. "That's the computer lady, she showed me how to" #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:17 PM EDT

A2 this school year has seen an explosion in new coaching roles-best of all many are connecting across state to support ea other #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:17 PM EDT

@shoemap We don't want ours to go back. Some are still resisting, but I think they'll come around. #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:17 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU I love GAFE. Best thing since sliced bread! #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:18 PM EDT

@mrg_3 Wonderful! #ETCoaches

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:18 PM EDT

@mrg_3 that is awesome, Michelle. we are working on increasing our collaboration, as well, but it is still limited. #etcoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:18 PM EDT

Maybe better - fewer carbs in GAFE! : ) #ETCoaches https://t.co/nSrFOThpHz

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:17 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU I love GAFE. Best thing since sliced bread! #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:19 PM EDT

Q3: How do you give students and teachers opportunities to share successes? #ETCoaches

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:20 PM EDT

@MsFagin What motivated your switch? We are GAFE but Microsoft keeps trying to get in. Would love to hear your thoughts. #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:20 PM EDT

A3 We do a weekly newsletter and highlight what's going on in classes. Ts can submit videos, pictures or whatever. #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:21 PM EDT

.@journeysofjess we started out w/ an annual coach edcamp 3 yrs ago. Next yr we'll have fall & spring events. Started small #ETCoaches

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:21 PM EDT

A3. My district has a Twitter chat; is perfect for sharing successes. I also put highlights in my edtech newsletter #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:21 PM EDT

@MsFagin Oh, great idea! We have a district newsletter - biweekly, but it’s only shared in-district. Yours? #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:21 PM EDT

@journeysofjess It was purely a financial decision. We spent too much on email addresses. Much cheaper to do Gmail. #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:22 PM EDT

.@mrg_3 @journeysofjess Would love to learn more about your coach edcamp. #ETCoaches

jaclynbstevens May 31 @ 1:22 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU Tech Fairs, Community days where Ts and Ss show off their stuff, PLC PLN time, Tech highlight posters in hallways, #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:22 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU It goes out to all faculty, staff, admin in the district every Tuesday - except today. #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:22 PM EDT

.@shoemap Do you have a lot of Ts participating? Many in my district aren’t Twitter users - not aware of its potential, etc. #ETCoaches

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:22 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU @mrg_3 agreed! i am an #edcamp nerd! #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:23 PM EDT

@journeysofjess When we had Outlook, not everyone had email. Too much $. Now every adult and student in the district does. #ETCoaches

bar_zie May 31 @ 1:23 PM EDT

#ETCoaches

eastpco_tech May 31 @ 1:23 PM EDT

A3: Lots of sharing within district (3 HS buildings). Google+ Communities, Twitter chats, PLC, etc. #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:23 PM EDT

A3 on a grand scale, we encourage Ts and Ss to share in Summer of eLearning conferences and at ISTE affiliate @iceindiana conf #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:24 PM EDT

@shoemap I'd like more teachers to use Twitter. I can't seem to get them on board yet. #ETCoaches

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:24 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU Yes - It's gaining in numbers as more participate. Here's our site w archives: https://t.co/AnP5v2bt51 #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:24 PM EDT

A3: We did student-led conferences. Ss created weebly sites to host all their digital learning. Used it to guide convo #ETCoaches

EdTechCoaches - Moderator May 31 @ 1:25 PM EDT

Kick off #ISTE2016 with #ETCoaches at the PLN Networking Fair Sunday June 26, 3-5pm MDT https://t.co/4TcvdKnHIJ

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:25 PM EDT

We put together this blog for the #INeLearn Coach Edcamp this year https://t.co/WlAUS5mi4D #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:25 PM EDT

.@MsFagin @shoemap Working on it, too! Hosted a couple “How-to Twitter” sessions last summer I <3 Twitter! #ETCoaches

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:25 PM EDT

@MsFagin I am fortunate to have admin support which really helps. #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:25 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU @MsFagin @shoemap Great resource! #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:25 PM EDT

A3 We hosted our first edcamp last October and are planning the next one. Ts seemed to like it a lot. Expect more participation. #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:26 PM EDT

@MsFagin I love the concept of #edcamp & think Ts respond well to it. Worry about Ts being reluctant to “lead” #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:27 PM EDT

Woah - time is FLYING! Q4 on the way #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:27 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU Had the same fear but they stepped up & did it. It was GREAT! #ETCoaches

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:27 PM EDT

@MsFagin We tried this but didn't get much engagement. Would love to hear tips from you! #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:27 PM EDT

@MsFagin @shoemap I know a principal that swapped a morning meeting for a Twitter chat that Ts could join from home or the bldg #ETCoaches

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:27 PM EDT

@journeysofjess @MsFagin We had good luck partnering with a neighboring district for our first couple of Edcamps. #ETCoaches

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:28 PM EDT

@MsFagin That is so interesting. Google is definitely cheaper. Personally, I really like the added features on Google calendar #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:28 PM EDT

@journeysofjess At first we didn't but then we created a simple Google Form for them to use. That worked & now they submit. #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:28 PM EDT

@mrg_3 @MsFagin @shoemap What a GREAT idea!! #ETCoaches

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:29 PM EDT

@shoemap Does your district have its own hashtag? And how do you decide when to have the chat? I love this idea! #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:29 PM EDT

.@MsFagin @journeysofjess LOVE this! #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:29 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU @MsFagin the trick is to emphasis "facilitator" role & not the traditional leader. It can be a huge culture shifter #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:29 PM EDT

Q4: How do you encourage Ts who might be reluctant to share their successes? #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:29 PM EDT

@journeysofjess I like all of GAFE. I can't believe I ever liked Microsoft. I wish I'd had more GAFE when I was teaching. #ETCoaches

EdTechCoaches - Moderator May 31 @ 1:30 PM EDT

#ISTE2016 is getting closer. Continue to follow @EdTechCoaches and #ETCoaches for the latest conference information.

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:30 PM EDT

@journeysofjess We do! Ours is #wleced (Walled Lake Every Child Every Day). 8:30-9:30pm, after those with little ones are in bed. #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:30 PM EDT

.@MsFagin @journeysofjess I keep trying to model GAFE at trainings and PD. Helps Ts see it in action. #ETCoaches

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:31 PM EDT

@eastpco_tech Do you coordinate the sharing somehow, Diana? We have 17 schools and I'd love to see more sharing! #ETCoaches

A4 when I was still in a bldg, I'd ask Ts to let me share their success to help peers #ETCoaches made 2 min video snapshots of their stories

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:32 PM EDT

A4. Suggesting teaming up with a trusted colleague to share often helps. #ETCoaches

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:33 PM EDT

@MsFagin Sounds like a good idea for us, too. Easier than trying to generate content ourselves. #ETCoaches

jaclynbstevens May 31 @ 1:33 PM EDT

@journeysofjess @AllisonKEDU It's a great way to get Community to understand how teaching & learning is changing w/ tech supports #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:33 PM EDT

Wonderful idea! How did you share those 2 min videos? #ETCoaches https://t.co/yibgm3g5xX

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:32 PM EDT

A4 when I was still in a bldg, I'd ask Ts to let me share their success to help peers #ETCoaches made 2 min video snapshots of their stories

A4. Suggesting teaming up with a trusted colleague to share often helps. #ETCoaches

jaclynbstevens May 31 @ 1:34 PM EDT

@journeysofjess @AllisonKEDU It's a celebration. Think science fair, but w/ students & Ts sharing what they have learned/ taught #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:35 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU we had a common space in our LMS where I created a library. #ETCoaches

A4- I liked to start small, put a star on their door with what they tried, ask them to share with their team, build them up! #ETcoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:36 PM EDT

@kerryguiliano Hey Kerry! Glad you’re here! : ) Currently talking about how to engage Ts who are reluctant to share successes #ETCoaches

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:36 PM EDT

@kerryguiliano Hi Kerry! Another Michigander is here. Welcome. #ETCoaches

techinteaching May 31 @ 1:36 PM EDT

Hi! I'm Kendra from South Carolina (sorry I'm a bit late today) :) #ETcoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:37 PM EDT

@techinteaching Great idea! Love how you make it visible for others. Helps to generate informal edtech convo. #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:37 PM EDT

A4 We give certs & pins to those who complete our Ninja Academy. When they do all 4 levels, their picture's in the newsletter. #ETCoaches

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:38 PM EDT

@techinteaching I like it; sort of an analog badging system. #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:38 PM EDT

Love that, @techinteaching. I know a coach who made badges/stickers for Ts doors so colleagues could see who had skills/interest #etcoaches

techinteaching May 31 @ 1:38 PM EDT

Thanks Allison! I haven't been at #ETcoaches in a looooooong time :) @AllisonKEDU

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:39 PM EDT

.@mrg_3 @techinteaching Such a great idea, esp. in an environment where Ts seem to have less and less time to plan/share together #ETCoaches

kerryguiliano May 31 @ 1:39 PM EDT

A4: I always do a small group share out if I can less stress, I use a lot of T strategies in my tech integrat PD (don't we all?) #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:39 PM EDT

@MsFagin did you design your own ninja program or use one in place? #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:39 PM EDT

A4 cont. Each week progres is listed in the newsletter so everyone can see how they're doing. #ETCoaches

techinteaching May 31 @ 1:39 PM EDT

Ooooh- I love the idea of #NinjaAcademy- @MsFagin can you share details/a site? #ETcoaches

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:40 PM EDT

@shoemap That is a great hashtag. did you survey to arrive at that time of night? I think that would be the hardest part of us. #ETCoaches

kerryguiliano May 31 @ 1:40 PM EDT

@MsFagin here a bit late - do you have more info on your Ninja Academy? Sounds AWESOME! #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:40 PM EDT

Q5: I know this seems obvious, but…why are success stories important to your school/district? #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:41 PM EDT

@mrg_3 We started w/ https://t.co/AEHCJAGXci & tweaked it for our use. Last year it was a Google Site. Now it's in Classroom. #ETCoaches

techinteaching May 31 @ 1:41 PM EDT

100%- they're pulled in SO many directions. Reflection & Celebration is often the first thing to go. @AllisonKEDU @mrg_3 #ETcoaches

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:42 PM EDT

A5. Sharing successes is very important to the community. Helps build a pos culture. #ETCoaches

eastpco_tech May 31 @ 1:42 PM EDT

A5: #ETCoaches let that competitive spirit work for you.

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:43 PM EDT

@shoemap lucky! #ETCoaches I might give it a try next year.

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:43 PM EDT

A5: Success stories are impt. because so many Ts feel overwhelmed;Need to know there’s good stuff happening, too! #ETCoaches

kerryguiliano May 31 @ 1:43 PM EDT

A5: Ts who think "why do I need to do this?" are much more likely to jump on board when they see Ss engaged and hear Ts successes #ETCoaches

jaclynbstevens May 31 @ 1:43 PM EDT

Historically we are terrible at telling our own story-"What do you do for a living?"" I teach" Wrong answer. UR so much more. #ETCoaches

journeysofjess May 31 @ 1:44 PM EDT

@eastpco_tech @shoemap Did you notice the time impacting that specifically? Or was it just interest waning? #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:44 PM EDT

Oh, I couldn’t LOVE this more! #ETCoaches https://t.co/5pXK5nA92A

kerryguiliano May 31 @ 1:43 PM EDT

A5: Ts who think "why do I need to do this?" are much more likely to jump on board when they see Ss engaged and hear Ts successes #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:44 PM EDT

Thanks, @MsFagin. I see a lot of schools using the GAFE Training Center & getting Ts certified level 1 or 2. #ETCoaches Personalized is a +

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:44 PM EDT

@journeysofjess I'll try to make your first one to lend a helping hand. #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:44 PM EDT

If you'll be at #ISTE, @RobinHarris417 & I will be in the #ETCoaches playground presenting on our Ninja Academy on Tues 12-1 table5

jaclynbstevens May 31 @ 1:45 PM EDT

A5 cont. If we are not telling our success stories, someone else will tell story. Be the Storyteller-in-Chief at your school #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:45 PM EDT

@mrg_3 I did level 2. It has helped tremendously! #ETCoaches

techinteaching May 31 @ 1:47 PM EDT

A5- So often people hear the bad stuff about #schools- but there is SO much more #good that Ps & community need to hear about. #ETcoaches

And this is typically the first question we get asked after we are introduced to someone. #etcoaches https://t.co/Fo2nzvfVgk

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:47 PM EDT

A5 Ts need validation too. Success stories give us that validation. #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:47 PM EDT

A5 when we look back at the success stories we've shared it points to our real values #ETCoaches Good reflection tool as we plan for next yr

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:47 PM EDT

Q6: What steps do you take to ensure you end the year successfully? Or start next year successfully? #ETCoaches

shoemap - Moderator May 31 @ 1:48 PM EDT

A6. I'm working on organizing an instructional tech conference the week before school starts. Been doing it for 12 yrs. #ETCoaches

TTMobile_us May 31 @ 1:48 PM EDT

#ETCoaches is now trending in USA, ranking 46

techinteaching May 31 @ 1:48 PM EDT

...and when we have Ts sharing #edTech successes, it's SO much more powerful than when we do. It expands the interest! #ETcoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:48 PM EDT

A6 Reflect, reflect, reflect...I make notes throughout the year so I don't forget. I also start planning in January. #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:48 PM EDT

.@techinteaching Yep! We need to be the loudest and the proudest! #edvoice #ETCoaches

techinteaching May 31 @ 1:49 PM EDT

A6: REFLECTION! Be sure to reflect on your year- what went well, what can you improve? Capture it...encourage the same with Ts! #ETcoaches

jaclynbstevens May 31 @ 1:50 PM EDT

A6: Try something NEW right at the end of the year. TEST it, get feedback then tweak for next SY, or if a total fail, ditch it #ETCoaches

kerryguiliano May 31 @ 1:51 PM EDT

@MsFagin Couldn't agree more! We are fortunate to have a team here and it's so important to meet and reflect. #ETCoaches

jaclynbstevens May 31 @ 1:51 PM EDT

@techinteaching YES! #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:51 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU Some. I try to get an idea of what Ts want but also do what the district says needs to done. Next yr we'll do SAMR #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:51 PM EDT

A6 Survey the gaps. Where is there a need? My big focus will be #digcit as a learning community; not just something to teach Ss #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:51 PM EDT

@jaclynbstevens Wonderful idea! #ETCoaches

danvkoch May 31 @ 1:52 PM EDT

A6: I try to end the year with a call to action like this for my Ss and to allow myself to be inspired. #ETCoaches https://t.co/6tBYlPOYJ3

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:52 PM EDT

.@mrg_3 Great plan. That’s one of my goals as well. #Digcit in an emebedded/meaningful way not as add on #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:52 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU Each school has different needs. I do MS & HS. The MS are 1:1. That's their focus. #ETCoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:52 PM EDT

Love your use of "capture it" #ETCoaches https://t.co/61JyjEE1Oz

techinteaching May 31 @ 1:49 PM EDT

A6: REFLECTION! Be sure to reflect on your year- what went well, what can you improve? Capture it...encourage the same with Ts! #ETcoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:52 PM EDT

.@mrg_3 Do you have a survey you use? Willing to share? #ETCoaches

kerryguiliano May 31 @ 1:53 PM EDT

A6: Reflect and be SUUUUUUUUPER prepared for the next school year. Plan plan plan! We work through the summer and prep is major. #ETCoaches

kerryguiliano May 31 @ 1:53 PM EDT

@techinteaching Love it! Is there anything you do to share out with Ts? #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:53 PM EDT

@kerryguiliano I work w/ another awesome ITC. We are fortunate to work well together which makes for a good environment. #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:54 PM EDT

Shameless plea - moving from supporting 5 schools to supporting entire district. (it’s just me…) Suggestions? #ETCoaches

techinteaching May 31 @ 1:54 PM EDT

Yes, @mrg_3! If you reflect now chances you won't remember it in 2 months with the BOY craziness! I encourage cal reminders #ETcoaches

I try to model #reflecting with my Ts, and build in LOTS of reflecting in coaching/training sessions. @kerryguiliano #ETcoaches

@AllisonKEDU for training, I would look at tool analytics. For mindset, I highly recommend the Speak Up Survey. It's free #ETCoaches

@MsFagin Good coworkers make the "job" into a career and make it easier for Mondays... I'm fortunate to have great ones, too! #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:55 PM EDT

It’s been real, friends! Thanks for joining us, for sharing, and for the great resources. Looking forward to connecting at @ISTE #ETCoaches

...my hope is that their reflection will trickle down to Ss and benefit #learning! @kerryguiliano #ETcoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:56 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU I live by my calendar and Google Keep. We use Google Classroom for PD. Have you thought about that? #ETCoaches

jaclynbstevens May 31 @ 1:56 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU How many schools across district? #ETCoaches Make clear calendar for yourself and make time for YOU! Empower Ts in the schools

techinteaching May 31 @ 1:56 PM EDT

Organization & being mindful about what you do. It's tough, but you can do it, @AllisonKEDU! #ETcoaches

mrg_3 May 31 @ 1:56 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU build a network of teachers who are engaged and willing to be facilitators. #etcoaches Plan cross bldg events whenever possible

@AllisonKEDU I'm in the same boat. Keep tight with the #ETCoaches PLN.

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:56 PM EDT

@MsFagin Yes…have utilized it for a couple of schools, but we are currently mostly Microsoft. Only 3 or 4 schools are GAFE #ETCoaches

kerryguiliano May 31 @ 1:56 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU @iste Great job, Allison! Great to connect with everyone - will definitely be back for the next one! #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:57 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU I set up classes & add stuff for teachers. We can converse through that platform. It's awesome! #ETCoaches

@AllisonKEDU Hard but doable. I have supported up to 17 at a time. Be very intentional, organized, and calendared. Pick big wins. #ETCoaches

MsFagin May 31 @ 1:58 PM EDT

@AllisonKEDU Ooh. How about a wiki or something? How big is your district? I have 11 schools & will add one in the fall. #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 1:59 PM EDT

@jaclynbstevens Thanks. Good suggestions. #ETCoaches

@AllisonKEDU I have both but will spend the summer combining the two. Less work to maintain. #ETCoaches

AllisonKEDU May 31 @ 2:00 PM EDT

@techinteaching @MsFagin Yes, hoping to get a few more schools on board this summer/next fall. I love GAFE! #ETCoaches
