dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:06 AM EDT

@seni_bl I think in my new role, I'm going to need some advice. No better place than Twitter to ask for that advice! #Nt2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:06 AM EDT

@DennisDill Thanks! I can handle the hot and humid (it's like that in STL in the summers too) and I"m looking forward to NO winter! #Nt2T

DennisDill Jul 30 @ 9:07 AM EDT

@dayankee Got the book ... even scheduled to have "Leadership" class where I can implement this concept full time! #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:07 AM EDT

@DennisDill Woot! That is AWESOME! #Nt2T

Dina0Brien Jul 30 @ 9:08 AM EDT

A1 maybe SHOW them some tools through T video. They may have Tech at home #nt2t

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:06 AM EDT

#Nt2T https://t.co/G34jLtUOLL

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:08 AM EDT

@Dina0Brien That's true. Most kids nowadays have the tech, even if not at school. Lots of platforms. #Nt2T

DennisDill Jul 30 @ 9:08 AM EDT

@SarahHirschfeld Hey Sarah ... I grew up in the town of Lincoln ... seems like a lifetime ago. #NT2T

teacherchalky1 Jul 30 @ 9:09 AM EDT

@dayankee If there is not much chance to use #edtech in school make use of flipped learning #nt2t

cybraryman1 Jul 30 @ 9:09 AM EDT

A1 You only need 1 device to connect and learn with. My Tech Integration page https://t.co/piRqUi7Xqu #nt2t

areveroberle Jul 30 @ 9:09 AM EDT

A1: Something like @plickers is one of the first tools to come to mind. Only 1 actual device needed per space and still very engaging. #nt2t

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:09 AM EDT

@Dina0Brien Yeah! Or showing emerging technologies through YouTube videos, 'how it's made' processes, exciting stuff. Foster inquiry! #NT2T

GruntledChalkie Jul 30 @ 9:09 AM EDT

A1) Things start becoming a little teacher centric here which is not good. Maybe you can tie things in with tech games they have #nt2t

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:09 AM EDT

A1: Finding where Ss are at is a great way to intro tech and be practical/relevant to them. What DO they have? What is needed? #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:09 AM EDT

@areveroberle @plickers I'm going to look into that more. I've heard of that app over the last couple of years but never experimented #Nt2T

A1 - start with what you are doing ... how can it be enhanced with what you have ... just bcuz its not new doesn't mean it won't work. #NT2T

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:10 AM EDT

A1: try to allow usage of own devices in my lessons - e.g.for research #nt2t

Dina0Brien Jul 30 @ 9:10 AM EDT

@dayankee Can also have them BYOD and have them share a tool they use #NT2T

stephwurking - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:10 AM EDT

hello #NT2T - sorry I'm a little late to the convo. you're in the capable hands of @dayankee

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:10 AM EDT

@hturk139 @Dina0Brien They may wind up building it themselves! #Nt2T

teacherchalky1 Jul 30 @ 9:10 AM EDT

@dayankee @Dina0Brien You could try to take advantage of their smart phones if the school allows it #nt2t

JKatzaman Jul 30 @ 9:11 AM EDT

A1 Start with researching what tech is available for free or low cost. Make a case for the school to add tech funds, emph benefits. #NT2T

ToniMcKeeCCHS Jul 30 @ 9:11 AM EDT

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:11 AM EDT

@teacherchalky1 @Dina0Brien It is a BYOD environment. I will definitely try to use that to my advantage #Nt2T

Good morning #NT2T Mary Bus. Ed T from CT joining a bit late, looking forward to today's chat!

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:11 AM EDT

A1: talk to like-minded colleagues to form a network and most important: be an example in ingesting tech #nt2t

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:11 AM EDT

@dayankee @Dina0Brien That would be incredible. Showing potential + fostering a community of achievement = incredible outcome. #NT2T

SarahHirschfeld Jul 30 @ 9:11 AM EDT

A1 See what's available for students in the community at the library or comm. centers #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:11 AM EDT

@DennisDill Very true. The old adage "tool to task" #Nt2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:12 AM EDT

@DennisDill I can definitely handle that! #Nt2T

SPetersonLive Jul 30 @ 9:12 AM EDT

A1)Model what you can when you can. T's are notoriously good at "borrowing" ideas that work. Crack open the door, they'll do the rest. #Nt2T

CJConnor2 Jul 30 @ 9:12 AM EDT

Do you have a librarian? Partner with a librarian to access even short bites of technology, such as info seeking. #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:12 AM EDT

@JKatzaman True, at some point I"m going to have to get more tech. #Nt2T

DennisDill Jul 30 @ 9:13 AM EDT

Reality is, if you are going to a school with limited tech you may have Ts who have limited tech knowledge. #NT2T be the prophet

ToniMcKeeCCHS Jul 30 @ 9:13 AM EDT

@dayankee A1: more info needed: What is much less tech? at school? at home? overall? #NT2T

GruntledChalkie Jul 30 @ 9:13 AM EDT

Get Ss to bring games in #nt2t

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:13 AM EDT

I like @Dina0Brien's idea of Ss sharing their tech, like show n' tell. Let them get excited, share what they do, ideas for you! #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:13 AM EDT

@SPetersonLive I think you're right. If I give them the space, they may come up with their own solutions #Nt2T

DennisDill Jul 30 @ 9:13 AM EDT

You may have to ask the right questions ... sometimes they don't have bcuz no one has asked for it ... #NT2T

@DennisDill Right, that's true. My last district was light-years ahead. Back to growing a tech future for kiddos. #Nt2T

Dina0Brien Jul 30 @ 9:14 AM EDT

A1 maybe even a survey to start. See where they are at #nt2t

goodman_ang Jul 30 @ 9:15 AM EDT

A1 Can intro programming with no tech - algorithm work, instructions etc #nt2t

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:15 AM EDT

A2: It seems to me like higher grade = more/creative tech, based on Edcamp demographics. Frustrating for a techy 1st grade T! #NT2T

SarahHirschfeld Jul 30 @ 9:15 AM EDT

@SPetersonLive @cybraryman1 @DennisDill Glad I joined this chat today! #NT2T

Kidsmathtalk Jul 30 @ 9:15 AM EDT

Use ISTE standards as guides for this ratio. Capabilities increase more than amount I'd say #nt2t https://t.co/xAnoiJcrnG

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:14 AM EDT

#Nt2T https://t.co/HykshuHqnO

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:15 AM EDT

@hturk139 lol, i think that would be frustrating too #Nt2T

Dina0Brien Jul 30 @ 9:16 AM EDT

A2 (not sure if I'm answering correctly) In any classroom the Tech integration should be meaningful #nt2t

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:16 AM EDT

@dayankee I want to be able to use the creative ideas I learn, but need the extra group brainstorming to adapt to littles. #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:16 AM EDT

@Dina0Brien Definitely the right answer. It should always be meaningful. #Nt2T

GruntledChalkie Jul 30 @ 9:17 AM EDT

A2) I teach in high school and we have 1 to 1 devices. Used most lessons #nt2t

SarahHirschfeld Jul 30 @ 9:17 AM EDT

A2: we have 1:1 laptops at the HS and MS gets classroom tablets #NT2T

teacherchalky1 Jul 30 @ 9:17 AM EDT

@dayankee Higher grades are connected with being more creative, using flipped learning frees up time to be more creative #Nt2t

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:17 AM EDT

A2: would say there is a ratio between tech experience and usage. It depends on the level of experience Ss have. Can be diff. Grades #nt2t

JKatzaman Jul 30 @ 9:17 AM EDT

A2 Tech availability would seem to trend toward upper grades, but those with kids know kindergardeners are already potent. #NT2T

Dina0Brien Jul 30 @ 9:17 AM EDT

A2 was also thinking to give Ss choice #nt2t

mtartaro Jul 30 @ 9:17 AM EDT

Hey....everybody! I'm here the party can start! #nt2t https://t.co/VYCQ86n1FS

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:17 AM EDT

@GruntledChalkie Awesome. I was in at 1:1 environment the last three years. It can be amazing! #Nt2T

ToniMcKeeCCHS Jul 30 @ 9:18 AM EDT

A2: The ISTE standards look like a great place to start #NT2T

donna_stille Jul 30 @ 9:18 AM EDT

@seni_bl Agreed! #NT2T

goodman_ang Jul 30 @ 9:18 AM EDT

A2 Think it's more about range and complexity rather than amount. Start with tech they use daily, music etc, simple toys etc #nt2t

DennisDill Jul 30 @ 9:18 AM EDT

I think the upper grades have better access to tech (more BYOD), but honestly ... i think Elementary grades are better at integrating #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:18 AM EDT

@JKatzaman Yep, little kids know so much about using tech already. They know their way around a smartphone #Nt2T

CJConnor2 Jul 30 @ 9:18 AM EDT

It is difficult to implement tech when all at different levels. Group work.. #NT2T

GruntledChalkie Jul 30 @ 9:18 AM EDT

@dayankee Yes but not done right 1 to 1 can be a distraction. needs solid pedagogy and alert teachers #nt2t

MrGrant84 Jul 30 @ 9:18 AM EDT

First time in a Twitter chat. #Nt2T

SarahHirschfeld Jul 30 @ 9:19 AM EDT

A2: HS we do lessons on digital citizenship w/ 9th Ss when they get their laptops #NT2T

DennisDill Jul 30 @ 9:19 AM EDT

Upper grades may have more access, but seems like it is used more for consumption than creation. #NT2T

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:19 AM EDT

@teacherchalky1 @dayankee What do you mean by "higher grades"? #nt2t

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:19 AM EDT

@GruntledChalkie That is true. It is difficult to "police" all of the laptops #Nt2T

goodman_ang Jul 30 @ 9:19 AM EDT

A2 Sometimes reducing tech could make task more challenging #nt2t

teachmbw Jul 30 @ 9:19 AM EDT

A2: good question as I read about/see more elementary Ts using tech in some schools vs HS, maybe elem S are more open to use of tech? #NT2T

ToniMcKeeCCHS Jul 30 @ 9:19 AM EDT

Q2: Our school has BYOD, but limited in devices. I try to use student tech two times a week for something. #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:19 AM EDT

@MrGrant84 Welcome! #Nt2T

CJConnor2 Jul 30 @ 9:19 AM EDT

We utilisze kids who know tech to help others that don't. It works great! #NT2T

DennisDill Jul 30 @ 9:19 AM EDT

@MrGrant84 Hey Mike ... Welcome to the chat ... #NT2T

mtartaro Jul 30 @ 9:20 AM EDT

A2 - In my exp. more technology used = higher grades. I would say because technology is more engaging and what they are used to. #nt2t

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:20 AM EDT

@dayankee @JKatzaman knowing and intuition! Amazing! #nt2t

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:20 AM EDT

@CJConnor2 That is great. Kids teaching kids is the gold standard of classroom management #Nt2T

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:20 AM EDT

@MrGrant84 Hi, hope you will love it! Best #PD ever. #nt2t

MrGrant84 Jul 30 @ 9:20 AM EDT

My school is 1:1 for 4-5, 3rd has a shared cart and there is another for the other grades #Nt2T

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:20 AM EDT

If tech is being used more in the higher grades, we are missing out on creating foundational mindset, digcitizenship, and skills. #NT2T

teachmbw Jul 30 @ 9:21 AM EDT

Adding on to this - look for mini-grants, maybe local business that would sponsor clsrm set of something? #nt2t https://t.co/GHK4AeaIXp

@seni_bl @dayankee Sorry, I meant greater progress, grades meeting or exceeding targets #nt2t

DennisDill Jul 30 @ 9:21 AM EDT

@CJConnor2 access to technology helps ... tech is a window to the world, but we can't just stare out the window. #nt2t

ToniMcKeeCCHS Jul 30 @ 9:21 AM EDT

@goodman_ang Good point! We forget that sometimes! #NT2T

SarahHirschfeld Jul 30 @ 9:21 AM EDT

@DennisDill Seeing this in my district as well. Final project for digital citizenship was to create something to share w/ MS Ss #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:21 AM EDT

@hturk139 I like that. It's the mindset that changes when kids use tech. They create and innovate #Nt2T

I'm going from a 1-1 sch of 5yrs to a sch that is rolling CB to the MS. HS T's are eager to become tech rich. Hard part is waiting. #Nt2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:22 AM EDT

@SPetersonLive So true. But it is a great process of acquiring and seeing what the kiddos can do with the tech. Such tremendous growth #Nt2T

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:23 AM EDT

Great advice but I think the other way round could be challenging, too. if they can choose apps and programs. #nt2t https://t.co/SpAhetf3sW

A3 I've used Exit "Twickets". Ss share a takeaway in 140 characters or less. Hang on door #nt2t

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:24 AM EDT

@dayankee We can foster that sort of mindset w/o tech, but it's much more practical/relevant when they can implement via tech. #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:24 AM EDT

What's the name of this fake twitter site? #nt2t https://t.co/he3NTTi2cy

ToniMcKeeCCHS Jul 30 @ 9:29 AM EDT

@CJConnor2 Q3 Regard to fakebook- Yes! There is also a fake Twitter page that can be made for similar assignment #Nt2t

ToniMcKeeCCHS Jul 30 @ 9:31 AM EDT

@dayankee @donna_stille A3There are many grants available even some to get reconditioned government computers. #NT2T

@teachmbw @DennisDill This is definitely one of my fav aspects of Twitter. Has helped me so much as a thinker! #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:31 AM EDT

@CJConnor2 I LOVE this! #Nt2T

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:31 AM EDT

A4: What about using diff. hashtags for groupwork? #nt2t

MsDrasby Jul 30 @ 9:32 AM EDT

#Nt2t A4 keep students updated with classroom events, homework, discuss what they learned during the day https://t.co/o8RLiYxrck

#Nt2T https://t.co/ZjhuK4dspE

Dina0Brien Jul 30 @ 9:32 AM EDT

A4 so many diff ways to connect diff Ss to outside world. Use as a sharing platform to diff audiences #nt2t

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:32 AM EDT

@seni_bl Yep! Great stuff! #Nt2T

JKatzaman Jul 30 @ 9:32 AM EDT

A4 Using hashtags and links makes Twitter ideal for individual or group information delivery and exchange. #NT2T

MrBKing1988 Jul 30 @ 9:32 AM EDT

We have many chn without tech at home.teachers give up lunch breaks so they can do it in school #nt2t

ToniMcKeeCCHS Jul 30 @ 9:34 AM EDT

@Kidsmathtalk It's a template: https://t.co/8nsvfAHAWT #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:34 AM EDT

In my last school, we had a team hashtag so kids and parents could drop tweets or instagrams into our steam #Nt2T

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:34 AM EDT

@MrBKing1988 Social status is still relevant in education, unfortunately. Great if you have engaged Ts. #nt2t

SarahHirschfeld Jul 30 @ 9:34 AM EDT

@dayankee Posing different links or questions for students to respond to - they choose which to engage with #NT2T

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:35 AM EDT

A4: I want to have a classroom account to tweet out S work/appropriate pics to keep parents involved, open communication. #NT2T

JKatzaman Jul 30 @ 9:35 AM EDT

A4 Teachers can also make Twitter lists of students in each class to make communication more productive within each group. #NT2T

SPetersonLive Jul 30 @ 9:36 AM EDT

I want to host a Twitter chat with my S's this year. We may not be fully 1-1, but they all have a device they carry in their pockets. #Nt2T

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:36 AM EDT

@dayankee Fantastic idea! #nt2t Wish we could do the same, but here are lots of restrictions in using tech.

Dina0Brien Jul 30 @ 9:36 AM EDT

We have a school hashtag and I introduce #danceformath when Ss were proud in Math #nt2t

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:36 AM EDT

@hturk139 I do that but I just use my own Twitter handle. I use Twitter as my professional SM and Facebook as my personal SM #Nt2T

ToniMcKeeCCHS Jul 30 @ 9:36 AM EDT

@SarahHirschfeld @dayankee Student choice is a win-win! #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:36 AM EDT

@seni_bl Yep, a lot of schools block Twitter and other SM #Nt2T

@dayankee @seni_bl But if you use your phone, and you're on data... #sneaky #NT2T

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:37 AM EDT

@dayankee 😒 #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:37 AM EDT

@SPetersonLive That is a great idea! #Nt2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:37 AM EDT

@hturk139 @seni_bl Right. That can get pricey! #Nt2T

MrGrant84 Jul 30 @ 9:37 AM EDT

I brought up using Twitter to our media specialist and he said I could have a class account but not one for students but we are 4 gr #Nt2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:38 AM EDT

#Nt2T https://t.co/pUTaFtPVRY

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:38 AM EDT

@hturk139 @dayankee It's forbidden to use e.g. FB to communicate with Ss and Ts. Reasons: data security. #nt2t

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:38 AM EDT

@stephwurking Lol, I live in the DC area, I avoid politics like the plague outside my house. #NT2T

ToniMcKeeCCHS Jul 30 @ 9:38 AM EDT

@dayankee @seni_bl Blocked SM in our school is major issue. Even gmail and other outside email servers are blocks #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:39 AM EDT

@seni_bl @hturk139 A few years ago the MO legislature almost passed a FB Law so would be illegal for Ts to communicate w/Ss on SM #Nt2T

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:39 AM EDT

@seni_bl @dayankee Would you be able to use it generally, i.e. to tweet out S work? Or have Ss tweet what they learned? For parents. #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:39 AM EDT

@ToniMcKeeCCHS @seni_bl Ouch, that is really limiting! #Nt2T

ToniMcKeeCCHS Jul 30 @ 9:39 AM EDT

@dayankee Wow! Large school! Can you do a screencast of how Twitter Chats are useful and have district send out? #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:40 AM EDT

@hturk139 @seni_bl I tweeted everything I thought was important: student work, pics, videos, etc #Nt2T

stephwurking - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:40 AM EDT

@hturk139 yeah, it is advisable to avoid the topic sometimes, esp. in the classroom. But it raises issues about plagiarism 4 e.g. #NT2T

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:40 AM EDT

@hturk139 @dayankee No, all you can do is only in a private level. #nt2t

donna_stille Jul 30 @ 9:40 AM EDT

Q5 - start small with a niche interest group? e.g. high school science? #NT2T

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:40 AM EDT

@dayankee @seni_bl It can be a potential hazard, we should want to protect ourselves. Depends on S age, how public the convo is, etc. #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:40 AM EDT

@ToniMcKeeCCHS The district is the county down here. 45k students and 3200 Ts. Huge! #Nt2T

Dina0Brien Jul 30 @ 9:40 AM EDT

A5 once a month our district has #edisontweets chat. Hours are given for participation and it is run by Ts #nt2t

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:41 AM EDT

@stephwurking True. It's all about giving credit/thanks where it's due! #NT2T

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:41 AM EDT

Waited for this question and hope for inspiration! 👍 #NT2T https://t.co/ipXjN9QSm6

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:38 AM EDT

#Nt2T https://t.co/pUTaFtPVRY

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:41 AM EDT

@seni_bl @dayankee Then that could be a problem. Is it for S privacy reasons? #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:42 AM EDT

@Dina0Brien In my last district we started a Twitter PD chat. This year, Ts can earn PD credit by attending weekly #Nt2T

teachmbw Jul 30 @ 9:42 AM EDT

A5: constant struggle this is 1 time I wish more Ts would "drink the kool-aid", many r close-minded 2 Twitter, keep showing positives #NT2T

JKatzaman Jul 30 @ 9:42 AM EDT

A5 People -- students and teachers -- learn by example. If they see you having fun with positive results, they'll join chats, too. #NT2T

Dina0Brien Jul 30 @ 9:42 AM EDT

A5 maybe a GH with some of your PLN about connecting on Twitter that can then be shared district wide #nt2t

MrGrant84 Jul 30 @ 9:42 AM EDT

Im going to bring up school wide Twitter this fall. #Nt2T

SarahHirschfeld Jul 30 @ 9:43 AM EDT

A5: Incorporating it as part of a PD day. Having a school or district hashtag and chat time #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:43 AM EDT

@teachmbw Yep, it's like they're deaf. Always see "what might go wrong" instead of the potential power of the tool #Nt2T

SPetersonLive Jul 30 @ 9:43 AM EDT

@dayankee I'll be watching for you to organize some Edcamps for your new district. #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:43 AM EDT

@SPetersonLive I am planning on it! #Nt2T

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:43 AM EDT

The best part of virtual PD is that no one can question my fashion choices. #nt2t https://t.co/on1wGkmAJS

Dina0Brien Jul 30 @ 9:43 AM EDT

A5 we've also done EdCamp style fact mtgs where Twitter was a choice and district Twitter challenge with prizes #nt2t

CJConnor2 Jul 30 @ 9:44 AM EDT

I agree with starting small. 1 or 2 teachers...word will spread. #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:44 AM EDT

@Dina0Brien That is awesome! #Nt2T

SarahHirschfeld Jul 30 @ 9:44 AM EDT

TBH I'm on this chat b/c my district has a tech class and participating in a Twitter chat is an assignment. Reflection due tmwr! #NT2T

ToniMcKeeCCHS Jul 30 @ 9:44 AM EDT

@hturk139 @dayankee @seni_bl Right, I agree. Admin is such a ball of nerves over any SM, hard for some to look past negative. #NT2T

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:45 AM EDT

A5: The Twitter/Edcamp movement has to be organic & personal. Start with 1-2, it'll grow quickly. It sells itself once you're here! #NT2T

seni_bl Jul 30 @ 9:45 AM EDT

@MrGrant84 How do you get started? #nt2t

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:45 AM EDT

@SarahHirschfeld Nice! That is a pretty progressive district! #Nt2T

mtartaro Jul 30 @ 9:45 AM EDT

A5 - I like to model during EdCamps and trainings. Unfortunately, I have to get special permission as my county continues to block. #nt2t

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:46 AM EDT

@seni_bl @dayankee Could you communicate to parents asking for permission to have a class account? Ss could be the tweeters, or not. #NT2T

SPetersonLive Jul 30 @ 9:46 AM EDT

@MrGrant84 me too. I plan on introducing the concept slowly with TodaysMeet. Let T's see the value in all S's having a voice. #NT2T

mtartaro Jul 30 @ 9:46 AM EDT

@hturk139 I did 10 EdCamps last year! Including hosting my own!!! #nt2t

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:46 AM EDT

We ran a couple of student edcamps last year. They went over really well. Kids learning from other kids = awesomeness! #Nt2T

mtartaro Jul 30 @ 9:47 AM EDT

@hturk139 @seni_bl @dayankee I introduced a school acct last year for Ps to follow field trips posts etc. #nt2t

@mtartaro @MrGrant84 Right. We always kept our media excluded list handy. #NT2T

JKatzaman Jul 30 @ 9:52 AM EDT

A6 From Day 1, encourage students to follow you on Twitter, and do the same for them. Tweet lesson sites and group info w/ each other. #NT2T

MrGrant84 Jul 30 @ 9:52 AM EDT

@mtartaro I wouldn't do pictures or names. #NT2T

MrGrant84 Jul 30 @ 9:53 AM EDT

Is there a different way classes use Twitter besides t posting what s says? #Nt2T

hturk139 - Moderator Jul 30 @ 9:54 AM EDT

@MrGrant84 Have Ss post what they are learning. Depending on how strict your district is, parents can sign off on allowing that. #NT2T

dayankee Jul 30 @ 9:55 AM EDT

I've used Twitter mostly to showcase student learning. I tweet out pics and videos and also try to connect my kids w/experts #NT2T
