Why hello there! #d100chat Jordan here! Currently prepping for a conference later this week and it has gotten me to reflect on my educational identity - can't wait for this chat!
#d100chat Technology has allowed me to talk about self regulation with my students and what zone they are in through fun games like Kahoot. #teampershing
Hi D100 Chatterboxes! Diona Iacobazzi, principal of Pershing here...Always looking forward to learning with you! Hope everyone is keeping warm tonight! #d100chat#NOWclassrooms#teampershing
A1: Using technology gives students the opportunity to express themselves using various tools. It gives students a sense of individualism and allows them to share their own ideas in a unique way. #NOWclassrooms#D100chat
A1: Technology has allowed my students to practice current skills needed to succeed in the future. Students create or communicate with peers their learning and fill proud of it. #D100chat#NOWclassrooms
A1: Technology allows for creativity because it allows for student freedom to choose. So many times we are pleasantly surprised to discover what students have created #D100chat#NOWclassrooms
A1: “The NOW Classroom has the potential to differentiate itself from traditional classrooms not because of devices but because teachers allow student voice and choice so students can create for an authentic audience beyond the walls of the classroom.” #NOWClassrooms#d100chat
A1: Our students are problem solvers and can be creative with whatever it is you ask them to do! When you put technology into their hands, they are able to take their learning further and truly show their creativity. #D100Chat
A1: Tech allows me to stop limiting my Ss to only what I think the project should look like & embrace all Ss deciding on the best way to showcase their own knowledge! #D100chat#NOWclassrooms
A1: Tech allows Ss to engage in meaningful & creative activities where they are able to explore their own potential. It lets them learn thru the 4C's pretty easily. #D100chat#NOWclassrooms#teampershing
A1: Technology is amazing because it lets me see all the things Ss are capable of- regardless of their outer personality. Shy kids, EL's, or those who aren't constantly volunteering get to shine with apps like #explaineverything#d100chat
A1: Our students are problem solvers and can be creative with whatever it is you ask them to do! When you put technology into their hands, they are able to take their learning further and truly show their creativity. #D100Chat
Yes! Everyone has different strengths! Why not give as many opportunities as possible for Ss to play to those strengths through tech #D100chat#NOWclassrooms
A1: Technology is amazing because it lets me see all the things Ss are capable of- regardless of their outer personality. Shy kids, EL's, or those who aren't constantly volunteering get to shine with apps like #explaineverything#d100chat
A1: Tech allows teachers to embrace creativity of students by using a variety of tools. S can show their learning so many ways and pick what they want! #d100chat
A1: Also, we get to play and explore right along with our students. Techonology is always changing and there are new ways to incorporate our personal styles and creativetraits. The path is one we travel together! #BetterTogether#d100chat
A1: It allows me to meet the needs of my students. They can demonstrate their knowledge of the subject matter a way that best fits their need need #NOWclassrooms#d100chat
A1: “The NOW Classroom has the potential to differentiate itself from traditional classrooms not because of devices but because teachers allow student voice and choice so students can create for an authentic audience beyond the walls of the classroom.” #NOWClassrooms#d100chat
A1: Using tech allows students to go beyond content consumption to content creation! Students can show deep learning when they create. #D100chat#nowclassrooms
I love how you said that it helps you to stop limiting the Ss - this is so true! allows them to use the resources that they need to be successful and ownership to choose how to do so #d100chat
A1: Tech allows me to stop limiting my Ss to only what I think the project should look like & embrace all Ss deciding on the best way to showcase their own knowledge! #D100chat#NOWclassrooms
#d100chat Our students are taught the importance of kindness both in "real" life and "cyber" life. We often talk about the importance of kindness on social media! #TeamPershing
A2 - #d100chat According to Carnegie Mellon Univ. This is the definition of collaboration and communication. All our Ss can achieve this with the redefinition of tech.
A1: It allows me to meet the needs of my students. They can demonstrate their knowledge of the subject matter a way that best fits their need need #NOWclassrooms#d100chat
A1: Ways of assessing become more open ended, when filming on iPads I saw ss making actual sets for an actual production... sets were never mentioned in the “rubric”. #D100Chat#NOWclassrooms
Thanks! It was a lot less pressure on me once I realized that I didn't need to be the one thinking of the most interesting project. My Ss came up with things WAY more creative than I could have thought of! #D100chat
You are so right Jincy. i see Ss cheering each other on and talking and working in small groups in making videos and projects together #nowclassrooms#d100chat
A1: Another way we embrace the tech is to document our learning. So say we take pictures on a nature walk...then my Ss can add comments to those pics to explain observations. #d100chat
A1: Tech opens the world of possibilites for ur kids. They can create products and share thier learning in a million ways! The best is when my students expand beyond the given task - i.e finding extensions in an app or within multiple apps. #d100chat
I also used to think I wasn't creative but we just need to make sure students understand the broad definition of creativity. It takes so many forms. #D100chat#nowclassrooms
A1: I love embracing creativity in math... especially because it is so unexpected. Math is not just right/wrong answers... it’s different ideas, different paths to a solution. Like a stop-action video about fractions! #d100chathttps://t.co/wpLMAoKJzO
As a wise person told me, we all learn differently. Perhaps individualism comes from the teacher seeing that there is more than one way to demonstrate thinking, whether it's tech based, paper/pencil, or a tech based paper/pencil hybrid. :) #d100chat
A2: technology enhances communication and collaboration between students because it allows for students to work together and give each other feedback while at school and outside of school. #NOWclassrooms#D100chat
A2 @Ms_Bazz challenges us to use tech to collaborate. The students used fliggrid to share a a story. The collaboration was instantly evident. The students collaborated -without prompting- about each others posts. We will do it again with retelling #D100chat#NOWclassrooms
A2: Our students are no longer just communicating within the classroom. They have a global audience! When students know that their work is seen by the world, they shine!! #D100Chat
A1: Another way we embrace the tech is to document our learning. So say we take pictures on a nature walk...then my Ss can add comments to those pics to explain observations. #d100chat
A1: It provides students with endless avenues to pursue their interests and learn something new. There is no other tool, that small that can provide so much opportunity! #D100chat
A2: When u start allowing more formats in the way Ss create & learn, they’ll have more opportunities to engage in the work they do & will likely become more invested. Ownership of their learning is AUTOMATIC when they are creating! #d100chat#teampershing#NOWclassrooms
A2: Tech breaks down all barriers to communication and collaboration. Location is no longer an issue when there are so many ways to get in touch with #FMS8th! #D100chat
A2: Technology enhances collaboration by giving our students access to communicate with people around the world on multiple platforms
#irvingpride#d100chat
A1: technology provides differentiation as all Ss approach it differently. Using padlet has been an awesome way for my students to creatively show their thinking and learning #D100chat
Great point! Ss go beyond what we give them and incorporate their own interpretations! Ss use rubrics as guidelines not checklists, the opportunity to go above and beyond is always there. #d100chat
Tech allows for Ts to give the instant feedback to the Ss which they need in order to show growth throughout the year #feedback#howcaniimprove? #d100chat
A2: It opens the world to our Ss! Want to ask an author a question? Want to know what it's like to be an astronaut? Social Media opens up a new realm of communication opportunities. #d100chat
Audience is so important! Expanding communication outside the classroom and school walls is motivating for students and encourages them to showcase their best work #d100chat
A2: Our students are no longer just communicating within the classroom. They have a global audience! When students know that their work is seen by the world, they shine!! #D100Chat
A2: Love giving digital feedback in real time! Students working with each other through shared Google docs, sheets, slides is awesome! Giving time to teach others how to best work together is key! #BetterTogether#d100chat
A1: “The NOW Classroom has the potential to differentiate itself from traditional classrooms not because of devices but because teachers allow student voice and choice so students can create for an authentic audience beyond the walls of the classroom.” #NOWClassrooms#d100chat
A2: It allows Ss & Ts to collaborate, give feedback to one another, and continue their learning outside of the walls of school! Ss & Ts can build their own PLN! #D100chat
A2: There is no longer just one way to communicate we have endless tools and opportunites. Students and teachers are accountable to one another because we have become more accessible to each other. #d100chat
A2: Tech lets Ss and Ts work together in real time. <3 working w/ multiple students at a time to revise their writing through Docs. Ss can write their essays and other Ss and I can comment, suggest, and even highlight spots for revision. #d100chat#nowclassrooms
A2: Love giving digital feedback in real time! Students working with each other through shared Google docs, sheets, slides is awesome! Giving time to teach others how to best work together is key! #BetterTogether#d100chat
Absolutely - the importance of being kind and having an psotivie identity is the same in person as it is online! The power of being a digital leader #d100chat
Breaking the barrier between the sage on the stage! Students enter the classroom knowing their teachers are there for them and this will be a place of learning together. #d100chat#teachersarecoolpeopletoo
A2: Love giving digital feedback in real time! Students working with each other through shared Google docs, sheets, slides is awesome! Giving time to teach others how to best work together is key! #BetterTogether#d100chat
A2: Playing with @DigitalDreamLab Puzzlets with my students and having a conversation about how to work the code is priceless. You really see how they are thinking! AND you can continue to elevate thier processing #d100chat
A2: Tech allows Ss to communicate and collaborate in and out of schools. even if they can't get together in person for group work. #nowclassrooms#d100chat
A2: The classroom teacher is not the only hand in a child's education. Technology brings experts, experiences and opinions to our Ss and allows them to make thier own decisions. #d100chat
A2: Tech allows Ss to communicate and collaborate in and out of schools. even if they can't get together in person for group work. #nowclassrooms#d100chat
Hard to say... It requires Ts to let Ss take ownership of the work - prioritizing and communicating independently. Need to scaffold without holding their hands too much! #d100chat
A3 - Be a Digital Citizen - Dont's
Say anything online you wouldnt say in person
Share anything you don't own
Forget, all posts can last forever
Spend all your free time online
#d100chat
A2. Tech transforms how Ss communicate & collaborate. For example: Skype with authors, creating PSAs, videos w/o words challenges the way Ss express ideas. #D100chat#NOWclassrooms
A2: The classroom teacher is not the only hand in a child's education. Technology brings experts, experiences and opinions to our Ss and allows them to make thier own decisions. #d100chat
A3:Students are taught to be responsible for their own device in school and at home. Students are held accountable for completing certain tasks on their iPad at their own individual pace. #NOWclassrooms#D100chat
A3 We use Second Step in the classroom which successfully teaches good citizenship in kindergarten. Students are able to evaluate their own behavior when it comes to being responsible digital citizens #D100chat#NOWclassrooms
Absolutely - well said. This makes me think of @HeritageD100 student led conferencing and how their artifacts are so drastically different since they are their own pieces of work! #d100chat
A3: “Digital citizens must recognize the responsibilities AND opportunities to learn and interact with others in a digital environment” #NOWClassrooms#d100chat
A3: This is SO important! We start from Kinder commenting on each others work in @Seesaw with emojis. Projecting work and crafting positive comments as a class helps model! #d100chat
A3: By talking with them constantly about why it's important to create a professional online presence. By demonstrating how to create one by modeling with #FMS8th#D100chat#NOWclassrooms
A3. Being a responsible digital citizen is an extension of being a responsible citizen in life. Ss need to learn how they act online should reflect how they act in person. #D100chat#NOWclassrooms
A2: Ss in 1A love collaborating with their peers and making non-fiction books on book creator that inform other readers in their class #d100chat#teampershing#lovetolearn
A2: I appreciate the use of google apps to share and collaborate with teammates. In addition, I also like that we can airdrop and use PowerSchool Learning as a simple way to enhance learning #D100chat#NOWclassrooms
A3:I think like all teaching, modeling is key; what u do in the classroom should reflect what u want from ur Ss.I really liked this article Education World: Help Kids Become Responsible Digital Citizens https://t.co/sXVWmeHuDW#d100chat#NOWclassrooms
A3: Model proper use of social media with a class account. Teach student proper use of social media to become digital leaders and make the world a better place one post at a time. (I was preaching this on @B96Chicago this am! 😂) #D100chat#nowclassrooms
A3: Embracing digital forms of communication is key to helping Ss become responsible digital citizens. Model what we expect. Sure, students might make mistakes, but that is because they are learning. #d100chat
YES! This has been an awesome addition to our classrooms this year! Thanks to our #icoaches and #techdept for making it so easy to use:) #d100chat#d100pride

A3: by teaching them what it means to be responsible people, both digitally and authentically. No plagerizing, respecting opinions, and being kinder than necessary to everyone they (digitally) interact with #d100chat#teampershing
A3: Our class is monthly focusing on digital citizenship lessons. Daily, we seem to have always have impromptu "talks" about being responsible with our digital tools. #D100chat
A3: Students also need to understand how to protect them selves and others online. Being an upstander is the #1 way to stop bullying! #D100chat#nowclassrooms
A3: Redirecting and reflecting in REAL TIME! When we see mistakes being made we can address them and move forward. We learn that our words matter but so does our word choice. #powerofwords#powerofintetntions#d100chat
A3: Students are going to make mistakes as they develop as digital citizens. It's important for us to use those moments to teach responsibility and help students learn from their experiences #d100chat
The use of the iPad markup feature allowed @_miss_carrillo to create a modified graphic novel text that allowed students to analyze language in pairs, and in a classroom conversation. Sometimes tech use is hiding in plain sight. #d100chathttps://t.co/BzNpkd9eGi@BeaMaldo310
A3: Redirecting and reflecting in REAL TIME! When we see mistakes being made we can address them and move forward. We learn that our words matter but so does our word choice. #powerofwords#powerofintetntions#d100chat
A3: I am the PBIS/RC coach at #komenskylions and have developed a schedule where teachers can teach a digital citizenship lesson each month #D100chat#NOWclassrooms
#d100chat If I can evaluate my practice and rise past Substitution, Augmentation and Modification to Redefinition - anyone can. I can do so with the help of colleagues, students and staff.
A3: Technology is no longer just a resource it is a life skill, we get the opportunity to teacher Ss just how far one of their words can reach! #d100chat
A4: S/O to my 5th grade kiddos that made me so proud during our author visit! Their questions, attentiveness, and energy made the whole experience a great one! #d100chat#teampershing
Yes! We embrace a growth mindset in content areas... we need to in digital citizenship as well! Kids might make a mistake, do something we wish they wouldn’t, but that’s an opportunity to teach! Yay, Ss will learn how to interact online w our guidance! #d100chat
A4:S/O To my SIP Team! I may be biased but I think u r the best most hard working team around! Love u guys 4 always wanting 2 push US 2 be better then we were the day before! I appreciate u putting in the work. #d100chat#teampershing
A4: This time of year it goes without saying that we thank those who make the biggest impact on us. Thank you to the @BerwynSouth100 family who continue to inspire me and to the students of #berwyn and @HeritageD100 who make every day a new adventure. #d100chat
Shoutout to this HUGE chat! As a co-host, I was trying to keep up and respond to all of you with thoughtful questions and responses but I could barely keep up!!! Go you! Keep the conversations going outside of Twitter #D100chat
A4: Thank you to GRACE!!!! who was the best to work alongside - your enthusiasm and willingness to do and try anything allowed us both to keep open and positive minds. You are too sweet my friend #d100chat
A4: S/O to the most amazing mentor ever, @travelynne04 ! You are the best for constantly talking me down from my (irrational) fears! #d100chat#teampershing . Thanks @Ms_Bazz for pairing me with her!
S/O to @ms_colletti for her rockstar PBIS boards. My Ss were SO impressed by the Nintendo theme and excited to keep their hands and feet to themselves! #d100chat#teampershing
SO: @mrsforest being a fab presenter at #NCTMregionals! People couldn't stop talking about how great she was! We're lucky to have her!
And to the other teachers who attended sessions and learned together #d100chat
A4: I am proud to be a part of a 1:1 district that provides teachers with opportunities to explore and share twenty-first century skills #komesnkylions#D100chat
