  • MrPStrunk Mar 14 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: I have seen my students been able to use technology in transformative ways far more than when I was in school and just had to make "5 slide power point" with no real-world application. #bmoreedchat

    Hey you! #BmoreEdchat
    In reply to @hayes_melisa
  • TechieTeachOtt Mar 14 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1 Biggest change for me personally has been in communication. My parents are out traveling the country in an R.V. and I still get to see them, talk to them, and, most importantly, my kids get to be closely connected to grandparents across the country! #BMoreEdChat #MasteryChat

  • laurelbertolas1 Mar 14 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: There are so many changes in the classroom in regards to technology since I was in elementary school! The students at my school are all given a device to use for school work. #BmoreEdchat
  • MrsBarnett_Tchr Mar 14 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: This is going to sound super silly, but I didn't invest in a smart phone until about 5 years ago and I'm only on my 2nd one! #BMoreEdChat

    A1: Being present in front of Ss, friends and family. Easy to drift off to cloud #BmoreEdchat
  • BethHajder Mar 14 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1 I was so against social media when it started. But now I use Twitter and Facebook to develop my PLN and find great resources #BMoreEdChat
  • jeffgargas Mar 14 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    So true. #BmoreEdchat
    In reply to @Owl_b_TorresEdu
  • DanKos3 Mar 14 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1. The connectedness hand held devices bring. Being able reach out to others, find information anywhere, or even entertain oneself has been the biggest change. Provides unique opportunities for/with Ss. #BmoreEdchat #edtech #masterychat
  • JackRice_Loyola Mar 14 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1 Found the past decade of ed. Tech confusing, made easy things difficult, trouble understanding the point of it all, with each new device teaching got less fun for me; but I’ve started to reframe that thinking the past 6 months #BMoreEdChat
  • justincholbrook - Moderator Mar 14 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    Completely agree! #BmoreEdchat

    Hi. Heidi Mozoki, KGN teacher in Baltimore City Schools. I love iPads. #BmoreEdchat
  • jeffgargas Mar 14 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    Definitely the fact that I am never “off.” My technical work day might wrap up, but I have to work very hard to disconnect and not get pulled back in. #BmoreEdchat
  • MrsCotesClass Mar 14 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    Things have become instantaneous (for better and worse) I have everything I need at my fingertips, but it makes it very hard to disconnect from time to time #BmoreEdchat
  • Ms_Miara Mar 14 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1. I definitely have felt the digital revolution. From being the student to becoming the teacher I can noticeably the use of technology in the classroom. Students have way more opportunity now to work digitally than I personally every have! #bmoreedchat
  • TechieTeachOtt Mar 14 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    So much of the work I do is digital- I agree that we need to find that purposeful downtime. It is tricky, though, when nearly all the work we do is electronic! #BMoreEdChat

    #BMoreEdChat I grew up with this, so everything is so different from my school days!!

    I'd be interested to hear more of this story. What made you reframe your thinking? A specific event? #BMoreEdChat
    In reply to @JackRice_Loyola
  • ms_ryan_ Mar 14 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    #bmoreedchat A1. How much we rely on technology today to communicate with each other. There are definitely positive and negative consequences.
  • kait013087 Mar 14 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    Social media, especially cyber bullying. I don't know how these kids do it 😔 #bmoreedchat
  • TechieTeachOtt Mar 14 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    Second question is right around the corner! #BMoreEdChat #MasteryChat

  • emlewis27 Mar 14 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A1 I found that with the increase e of technology I am communicating less with the people I am around and instead I am on my phone. #ed446 #bmoreedchat
  • TechieTeachOtt Mar 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Q2 Change doesn't always happen the way we expect it to. Fifteen years ago sitting in a college education course, I certainly didn't expect that @GSuite would take over classrooms the way it has. It didn't even exist until 2006! #BMoreEdChat #MasteryChat
  • justincholbrook - Moderator Mar 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Present is such a great point and word choice to describe the limitations of tech outside the classroom. #BmoreEdchat
  • TechieTeachOtt Mar 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    My fingers are getting tired already. :) . Maybe this is why I am developing carpal tunnel... whoops! #BMoreEdChat
    In reply to @justincholbrook
  • KaitlynnWelly1 Mar 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: Since this in my first year in the classroom, I definitely see huge differences from when I was a student. At the beginning, most of my third graders knew much more than I did about all of the new programs & tools they use every day! #bmoreedchat
  • HHarget Mar 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1- Soo much digital reading. Everyhting phones, books, school work and work for school #BmoreEdchat
  • MsEmmaGristina Mar 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: In the past five years, people have been heavily involved in the digital revolution. Due to this, I feel that conversation take place through technology more than in person. #ED446 #BmoreEdchat
  • GochnourBethany Mar 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1 Hard thing: we may be ready to change, but are we ready to embrace the change? #BmoreEdchat
  • MissKConnor Mar 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    #BmoreEdchat #ED446
    • MissKConnor Mar 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT
      A1. I think the biggest adjustment has been comparing the role of technology in my childhood to the role of technology in my own siblings, cousins, and children I babysit for’s childhoods. Playing candy land on the computer was a treat when I was 5!
  • Ms_Eig Mar 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1: Learning to navigate the digital world socially, academically, and correctly! There is so much out there and its important to know what to use vs. not. I think kids need this lesson! There is so much more or there then weird YouTube videos #BmoreEdchat #KeepMovingForwardBCPS
    • TechieTeachOtt Mar 14 @ 9:07 PM EDT
      Q1 The world has certainly seen some changes in the last 5-10 years! How has your life (outside of the classroom) been affected by the digital revolution? What is the BIGGEST change you had to adjust to? #BMoreEdChat #MasteryChat
  • JackRice_Loyola Mar 14 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Realized it wasn’t about my enjoyment and the constraints that technology brings allows me to reprogram my teaching, reversing the design, in doing so I’ve recaptured the creativity I thought was lost. #BmoreEdchat

    A2 The APPS that make things more organized and easier for writing, etc. Not sure if this is great or creating laziness... #BMoreEdChat
  • jeffgargas Mar 14 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    Absolutely. I love it, but I have to be very intentional when I’m done. I leave my phone in the kitchen and take off my Apple Watch so I don’t get distracted when spending time with my kids. I love what I do, so that just makes it worse, lol. #BmoreEdchat

  • KGNrocks Mar 14 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2. Technology allows me to be so much more connected to my families through email and @Seesaw #BmoreEdchat
  • MrsBarnett_Tchr Mar 14 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2: I think just the fact that technology has become an integral part to teaching and learning. My dad worked in IT for our local county and he really wanted me to pursue a that as a career path. At the time I didn't see a future in it for me. #BMoreEdChat
  • MrPStrunk Mar 14 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2: Using twitter to connect with other educators from all around the world! It is amazing the collaborative power that 280 characters has! #bmoreedchat
  • sagefuller15 Mar 14 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    a1: Comparing my Elementary experience with technology in Elementary classrooms is a dramatic change. If the tools are applicable to the objective and standards then I see it as a positive. #BMoreEdChat #ED446
  • MsMSchroeder Mar 14 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A1: The biggest change I have had to adjust to is societies dependence on technology and social media (something I am guilty of too). I am not very tech savvy so it hasn’t been easy! #BMoreEdChat
  • MrKaplanJK Mar 14 @ 9:16 PM EDT
