WalterReap - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:06 PM EDT

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:10 PM EDT

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:11 PM EDT

Hi @mrterborg. Q2- What is your favorite technology tool in the classroom? Why? #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:12 PM EDT

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@principal64 Absolutely! #mdeschat

WalterReap - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2: My favorite tech tool in the classroom is the teacher, who chooses the tool to facilitate learning! #mdeschat

MrCsajko Sep 22 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A2: Plickers. Its free. Its fast. Its fun. It makes assessment easier #mdeschat

MissKloczko Sep 22 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: also love chromebooks! I like putting the tools in the kids hands. They learn by doing, not just watching me use a tool. #mdeschat

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2 that said, I also enjoy seeing what my PK Ss create on the iPads. (Movies, @ScratchJr and @TuftsDevTech KIBO Robot #mdeschat

zsantiago75 Sep 22 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2- Study Island . I can look at the reports and see where students are doing well and where they're coming up short #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@MrCsajko Have yet to try it with my K Ss. Once they get the functionality of school down pat, lol, I look forward to it. #mdeschat

WalterReap - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@jazzmeister2013 A smartboard with LOTS of fingerprints! #mdeschat

MrCsajko Sep 22 @ 8:14 PM EDT

MissKloczko Sep 22 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: also https://t.co/YmCTZex6pm. Accessible on any device and SO versatile, user-friendly for kids. #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@WalterReap Absolutely! If it is just there collecting dust, it serves no purpose. #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2. The teacher seems to be the most popular answer to the favorite technology tool, isn't that an amazing one ;)? #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@MrCsajko For sure! Will do. #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:17 PM EDT

Here comes a little challenge... #mdeschat Can't wait to see the pics 😉 https://t.co/v9ub61MtWH

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@jazzmeister2013 I'm seeing them now. My tolerance for unposed questions is quite low. Maybe I was born in the wrong generation #mdeschat

abelbaez Sep 22 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2 my 3D printer because we can show a printed design of something mentioned in class #mdeschat https://t.co/b5ewAuicUW

Q2 is here #mdeschat https://t.co/7EHf4Z5jPd

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@zsantiago75 amazing tool aligned with effective use of data, agree #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A3- I can think of so many, but I used to think Lite Brite was the best. That and the original Nintendo. (Tech toys) #mdeschat

MissKloczko Sep 22 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@jazzmeister2013 @abelbaez yes! Piano guys on Pandora! The best music for writing time. :) #mdeschat

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:19 PM EDT

So few memories, so little time #mdeschat but those metal Tonka trucks were fun https://t.co/h7lu6v8g5w

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@MissKloczko @abelbaez Also on Youtube. Fantastic talent! The Cello Song is a variation on the Bach prelude. Awesome! #mdeschat

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@jazzmeister2013 I still have an original simon game (Flashing light blinking game) #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: #mdeschat https://t.co/HkAfbLUR0H

principal64 - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3. It looked something like this: banana seat, sissy bar; it meant freedom! #mdeschat https://t.co/FzipjpUCH3

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@evyabel @zsantiago75 Haven’t used Study Island since I last taught 4th grade a few years back. Loved the platform. #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@MrCsajko This ranks right up there as well! This and a street hockey puck, hockey stick, and net. So much fun! #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3. My favorite toy #mdeschat https://t.co/vAoaXUrKpu

WalterReap - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@principal64 Did you clip the playing card to the spoke for the motorcycle effect? #mdeschat

zsantiago75 Sep 22 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3- I used to play with my neighbors. #mdeschat https://t.co/CZluGkeS6X

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@WalterReap Yup. I have the original in Michigan. Need to pull it out next time I go home. #mdeschat

principal64 - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@WalterReap of course, clack, clack, clack all the way down the road! #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Next question in 1 minute #mdeschat

MrCsajko Sep 22 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@jazzmeister2013 When asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said "a bus." #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Reflect: Uses of Technology #mdeschat https://t.co/ps2c4xKkKZ

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2 but I really loved staying after school and programming the Apple II+/IIe #mdeschat Just me and janitor in bldg. 6th gr.

WalterReap - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@MrCsajko @jazzmeister2013 Ryan that's hilarious. #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@zsantiago75 True, we knew how are neighbors looked like #mdeschat

MrCsajko Sep 22 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A4: Managerial, Differentiation, Motivation, Transition, etc. #mdeschat I am a #pegeek and proud of it

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A4 This is why I'm thinking of banning google and ... and .. and ... trying to collaborate more w/ Ts #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A4- All three. Supports and complements the learning taking place. Enhances instruction, and makes transitions smooth, fun. #mdeschat

principal64 - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A4. In just about every aspect you can imagine; to organize my day; support teachers; improve instruction; communicate w/parents #mdeschat

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@MrCsajko @jazzmeister2013 Why not? No one will mess with a Bus. #mdeschat

WalterReap - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A4: Organize my day, capture evidence, communicate, share professional learning, inquire and model digital citizenship. #mdeschat

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A4 integrated well, tech can support (almost) everything. Implemented poorly #mdeschat https://t.co/ojtMFXrjEk

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@principal64 The reminder app and its connection w/ Siri have been INCREDIBLY helpful for me. Use it all the time. #mdeschat

MrCsajko Sep 22 @ 8:31 PM EDT

You forgot one that I know you do.... Reflect #mdeschat #obiwan https://t.co/L6RERw83Kj

A4: Organize my day, capture evidence, communicate, share professional learning, inquire and model digital citizenship. #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A4. Google Classroom is a great tool but Ss and Ts can use to collaborate, create, write, share #mdeschat https://t.co/tGvoWT8yLJ

Next question: Have you heard about HEAT? #mdeschat https://t.co/lio1BgUhdb

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@MrCsajko Well.... they might be working on it ;) #mdeschat

abelbaez Sep 22 @ 8:38 PM EDT

#mdeschat here is my school @ihslapg https://t.co/d41gbCzHhR

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A5 We could use some. There are rooms that are 59 degrees ... #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Thanks to all my friends at #mdeschat sharing about Technology and Learning, HEAT Look fors https://t.co/uoEiVssMqI

principal64 - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5. I feel strongly about "authentic connections," tech can support that & enhance engagement, then higher order thinking follows #mdeschat

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5 how's 3/4? #mdeschat

WalterReap - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5: We are bringing the H.E.A.T each day as we connect CR7 to promote an environment of excellence! #mdeschat #CristoReyBalt

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A5- Would certainly hope so. The HEAT reflects growth-minded instruction building active S learners, leaders. #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@principal64 In your experience, what do you suggest to build authentic connections? #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@WalterReap “If you’re going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters…” (part 1) #mdeschat

principal64 - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@evyabel look to the students' interests and local issues that they will be passionate about #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@WalterReap “… Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.” -Colin Powell (part 2) #pursuingexcellence #mdeschat

WalterReap - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A5: We aren't emphasizing technology, but we are re-imaging assessments, aligned and retaught to standards. #mdeschat #AboutImprovement

mrterborg Sep 22 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@jazzmeister2013 @WalterReap It also is not a choice. #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@principal64 @evyabel So true! #mdeschat

WalterReap - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@evyabel @principal64 Ignatian pedagogical paradigm emphasizes the context of the learner; familiar content/new concepts/skills. #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@WalterReap It's time to use technology to learn not for us to learn it! It's time to own learning #mdeschat #aboutimprovement

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Next question coming up... #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@evyabel @WalterReap True! My Ss last year learned coding, and love it. I plan to engage in it this year. Growth mindset. #mdeschat

WalterReap - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@jazzmeister2013 Behavior is a function of the environment. Biggest predictor of achievement in a classroom are expectations. #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@WalterReap Precisely. The pursuit of excellence occurs when there is an expectation of excellence. Not settling for less. #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@evyabel @WalterReap The fabulous media production T at my school does. I haven’t engaged in coding myself…yet. #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:51 PM EDT

It's time to spread the love 😍 #mdeschat https://t.co/9A27ckUwWQ

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:52 PM EDT

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@abelbaez Thanks for sharing! Will have to check it out. #mdeschat

principal64 - Moderator Sep 22 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A6. Teachers are willing to try new technology when they're given good training, encouraged, and reminded that failure happens #mdeschat

evyabel Sep 22 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@mrterborg @missreed @ScratchJr I'm sure you have inspired them in a way that they know what is best for them :) #mdeschat

jazzmeister2013 Sep 22 @ 8:54 PM EDT
