Q1 for #worldgeochat

ZahnerHistory Feb 14 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1: I've worked at two #GAFE districts ... Ts either go after it or don't --> takes time to support Ts who don't #worldgeochat

HitchDrive Feb 14 @ 9:09 PM EST

Have used the Google Suite just about daily for the past 3 years. Love it. Schl is fully 1:1 w Chromebooks. #worldgeochat

TheSwish Feb 14 @ 9:09 PM EST

We’ve been a GAFE school for 5 (?) years now…biggest challenge, some staff still don’t use it/know how to access #worldgeochat

ecasey77 - Moderator Feb 14 @ 9:09 PM EST

This is our first year being 1:1, we had a couple of institute days last year, we also hosted a GAFE summit last summer too #worldgeochat

ZahnerHistory Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

How many years 1:1 Chromebooks? #worldgeochat

In reply to @HitchDrive

cheffernan75 - Moderator Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1 Lots of trailblazers doing amazing things at every opportunity. Some Ts looking for every problem they can find. #worldgeochat

TheSwish Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

Not for a lack of training/support…hard to get Ts to change work-flow, try something new, etc…progress being made. #worldgeochat

CoachHenkel Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

Google Apps are not widely accepted throughout the district. Implementing is room by room. Very frustrating right now... #worldgeochat

jmgarner2003 - Moderator Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1 - first day of school told we had a google drive and classroom. That's it -- not training, just figure it out #worldgeochat

GeoSpiegs - Moderator Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1: we were told it was happening. We were given ids. We were told to start using it after minimal training #worldgeochat

mdoran2067 Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

A2. Not much of a formal rollout...taking off now with a grassroots effort to get the word out. Google Classroom popular #worldgeochat

HitchDrive Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1 Challenges involved getting teacher buy-in...need a top-down and bottom-up approach to help overcome resitors #worldgeochat

ecasey77 - Moderator Feb 14 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1 Our district also has teachers who are DLI leaders who not only offer training but also open up their class to observe #worldgeochat

ZahnerHistory Feb 14 @ 9:11 PM EST

Do you have some expert Ts that present, facilitate, coach #worldgeochat

In reply to @ecasey77

GeoSpiegs - Moderator Feb 14 @ 9:11 PM EST

A1: why is it so hard to have an effective rollout with real hands on training? #worldgeochat
