A1I love the keynote speakers. I love networking with colleagues and vendors I have not seen in a while. I also love how much we learn from one another. #NYCSchoolsTech Summit #NYCSchoolsTechChat

A1 My advice is to hangout with the cool kids in the Social Media Lounge at the #NYCSchoolsTech Summit. So fun talking to the most innovative educators of the biggest school district in the nation! #NYCSchoolsTechChat

A2 Google is always packed, go to someone else and get real hands on assistance. Stop by for a free pen, stay for the awesome new resource. #NYCSchoolsTechChat

A1 My advice for newbies at the #NYCSchoolsTech Summit is to take advantage of the opportunity to meet the vendors whose products you use in the classroom all year long. #NYCSchoolsTechChat

For me it was meeting so many new and amazing people I have learned so much from. It was also learning great things I could start right away in my classroom. #NYCSchoolsTechChat

Don’t overwhelm yourself. Focus on singular improvements you can make or a tool that can alleviate some stress. You will definitely find something to help you be a better teacher. Here was some advice I wrote up before last years. #NYCSchoolsTechChathttps://t.co/cDcccTbW24

A2 I want to to the @Skedula peeps and the @icodeinschool peeps. I am also looking for new innovative updates and new vendors with innovative products. #NYCSchoolsTechChat NYCSchoolsTech Summit
A2: I’m looking for the new ones I’m not aware of yet. First questions are how does this save me time or help my students become better critical thinkers and advocates for themselves. #NYCSchoolsTechChat

A3: where the after-part is…a close second is how can we quickly and effectively move teachers, schools, and the DOE towards more open models of instruction #NYCSchoolsTechChat

A3: what’s working and what’s a challenge across the city. I love hearing about what’s going on in another borough that people are passionate about! #NYCSchoolsTechChat

A1. Look at the schedule and consider attending a session that might be useful to you for next year. Bring a charger for your laptop. Go early to session because they get full and you may not get a seat. #NYCSchoolsTechChat

I am hoping there will be something on some of the Microsoft accessibility programs. Honestly, I like looking at the schedule and seeing what new things are out there or New spins to old things. #NYCSchoolsTechChat

A4: I’d like to do @GooseChaseEDU to showcase how we used it with administrators in a year long scavenger hunt in AP teams....administrators like to have fun too!! It’s trickled down to classrooms & school wide hunts #NYCSchoolsTechChat
A2. Well, I'm a teacher so I can only what vendors offer to teachers free of charge. However, when we use their products and spread the word, we make their products known to others. I like to know what they offer #NYCSchoolsTechChat
A4 I really hope folks submit poster sessions on accessibility. The amazing @Loristava will be coordinating our first ever poster session at the #NYCSchoolsTech Summit. #NYCSchoolsTechChat

A3. Teaching is ever evolving with teachers who embrace new tech to advance teaching and learning. I'm interested in learning about assessment tools that would connect directly with Skedula. @Skedula#NYCSchoolsTechChat
I think one of the biggest was changing or reorganizing the venue, because the vendor area was packed and so were a lot of sessions. #NYCSchoolsTechChat

Q5 What is something you immediately put into practice after last years #NYCSchoolsTech Summit or hope to learn at this year’s Summit? #NYCSchoolsTechChat
My Technology pages https://t.co/rhtEBHuUf9 My advice is not to be afraid of trying out a tech tool and to also take advantage of the techspertise of your students. #NYCSchoolsTechChat
Q4 Utilizing Google Tools. We are working on ELA Digital Portfolios using Google Sites. Plus as SPOC I have utilized G+ Communities and Google Sites to house & share all of our Tech Info - Also created a laptop cart checkout with Google Calendar & Sites #nycschoolstechchat
Yes! It's like a science fair! People will come and go, so you just have one on one conversations with people. It's much more relaxed. #NYCSchoolsTechChat

A5: I hope we can learn more about accessibility, especially website accessibility, & personally hoping #dashanddot will be there because I loved seeing them at #NYSCATENYC lol #NYCSchoolsTechChat
A5 Personally I think learning to pick the right tools and not reinventing the wheel could be a good discussion. Remember our focus is to get students to use tech as part of the learing process and skills (like coding and making with tech). #NYCSchoolsTechChat
Symbolstix is by the News To You people-I think they have a wider variety of modern symbols (like ones for Black Panther and the Avengers) and some nice online interactive content #NYCSchoolsTechChat
