Hello beautiful lady 😘❤️ Miss you Hope all is well 😊
A1 establishing a climate where everyone is seen as a capable writer
Have an amazing chat! I will be there in spirit!!!!! :)
A1 safe LE starts with us, we determine what is safe taking into acct the interests of our Ss and motivates them
A1: Teaching digital citizenship is important so that the writing community is built on trust and respect. Digital skills!
A1 Similar to creating a safe classroom environment on a wider scale: encourage risks and resilience with mistakes
Safe environment also meets comfort zone of students. See what they’re willing to try & what they’re not.
Pip from NZ here...just lurking a bit today...probably...unless I can't help myself...which often happens.
Risk-taking--to happen--needs to be supported by assessment practices that don't penalize Ss!
If students are getting stuck in their writing process, encourage them to look at the right side of t… https://t.co/DqRvMQmDHl
Hi Michala Nice to see you here 😊
aww sad to miss you Teresa!
A1 We are the mentors, the guides on the journey. Stir up Ss passions so voice can fly.
Find the strengths of all students; including reluctant writers. https://t.co/wOpu7ShBO2
A1 establishing a climate where everyone is seen as a capable writer
A1 Need to support the tech side too so Ss have enough knowledge & confidence to enagage with the tech
A1: Working in a 1:1 school makes it easier, students need to be given opportunities to explore across various platforms
Thanks for being here Pip
A1 We can select with whom ss engage by connecting classrooms
glad I made it!! I'm doing the walk and chat! Need my steps.
A1.Most 4 year old infants are digitally aware.We need to build on what Ss have as they come to https://t.co/59DP4kC6Ga is key
absolutely! How do we make sure each students feels valued?
A1 using tools like or G+ communities can provide scaffolded learning environments to practice as well
Let me push you over the edge. You need more practice writing digitally :)
A1) by giving Ss plenty of information opportunities to just write, get feedback from peers and T...minimize need to grade
And the safe environment allows us to safely push them out of their comfort zone! https://t.co/Ya53pPsjAV
Safe environment also meets comfort zone of students. See what they’re willing to try & what they’re not.
yes! recognizing that they already have digital exposure & working from there is key
exactly! We have to keep that in our mind
totally agree that 'knowledge supports safety' I LOVE this phrase and concept! https://t.co/7vKBETjNxm

Q1) How can we create a safe learning environment for all students to start writing digitally? https://t.co/VLtYZkkCjp
feedback is a great way to learn more about students.
It makes my head hurt to even think about the time zones involved in !!
by being open to diversity of opinions, ideas, forms & styles; by rejecting single ways of knowing
Q2 coming up in 1 minute ………..
You have to know the students and what they like. Carefully and respectfully correct errors when starting digital writing.
a gentle push = a nudge? :)
That's so awesome! Good for you! Walking and chatting ...I must try! 😊
love it. How do you help students to share their different experiences with each other?
A1 and Ts are in an environment where they can take these risks to engage (1 of my 5E’s) in new tech
A1.I have Irelands only school STEAM Room.No books just quality hands on digital learning.Its often pupil led ,
Q2 What are some classroom strategies to use that gives students choice & voice when it comes to digital writing?
It was fine...just been sooo busy 😳 Mid year for you guys already? Wow!!
exactly. The danger of a single story right?
A1: by ensuring Ss see the value while Ts celebrate growth. makes writing and editing a breeze here
Make sure there is specific and actionable feedback so students call see their progress.
If we value our Ss as creative learners we can help create.
A2 Modeling different options - sometimes students don’t know how to make the choice or what options are available
and even a hand hold until the S is ready for release!
We need to point out at least one thing in each student's' writing that makes an important point. No… https://t.co/I4K1IbNqwG
absolutely! How do we make sure each students feels valued?
A1 A safe environment requires that Ts appreciate the limits and liabilities of Ss privacy and ways to safeguard
You don't really need 1:1. Ss can draft, organize thoughts on paper & transfer to computer. Make it a center.
oops https://t.co/2aruFMz2A4
A1: If child struggles w literacy hw do we mke digital platforms inclusive & not exposing.not seeing lots of answers here. Coz I'm interestd
A2: We teach various tools so students can pick the ones that suit the need to solve a problem - always choice here
Probably do actually. All our exams will be done online in the next 2-3 years so we have to get with the times.
A2 provide various opportunities for students to have their voice be heard: writing, visual literacy, media literacy, art, etc
A2: Confer with students to help them determine how they want to share their writing. So many options are available.
Maybe. We're still not 1:1 and our exams are online. We share, use computer lab, etc. Different testing schedules
A2 MULTI-MODALITY as guiding principle 4 how Ss learn, how they go deeper, how they show learning. Vo… https://t.co/n0ozetfY2o
Q2) What are some classroom strategies to use that gives students choice & voice when it comes to digital writing?… https://t.co/eDPsHTXeAu
A2 Ss choose their own app/platform for planning and the writing creation itself --> higher engagement
A2: So passionate about voice & choice -Students are encouraged to try new things & self-manage through self & peer assessment
Correct, I have only 4 computers for 20 kids, we rotate
Our school wants more student voice engagement w community so this is impt area to address
That's exactly what we do!! Paper then to digital. However, many SS ask to do generate ideas and draft digitally.
A2 I encourage ss to dip into the digital world tto find thier authentic audience.If they write a review, they post it online
A2)inviting in faculty to share best apps/strategies/resources.Our LMS staff are wonderful @ working on solutions for Ts!
how do we empower those students who don’t feel like they’re creative?
choice has to be real Not just a PC but true variety needs to be available Ss need to be comfortable
A2 Show digital tools. Let them "play". Provide starter. Watch them create.
A2 Allow enough time & resources for the students to immerse themselves into a topic!
A2 Reply ? One problem w variable tools = many solutions?
A2) Give them options, provide variety, video storytelling, storyboards, blogging, oral storytelling, wordless stories
We can also co-create success criteria with Ss and reject pedantry
A2) teach them different ways to use the technology and then let them choose what would work best for each student.
I agree. Maybe 1 device for generating and drafting? Depends on # of devices? Or use personal?
Excellent point!!!! And it's hard! Many districts already been doing online! A1- https://t.co/tNvyvxsPlA
Probably do actually. All our exams will be done online in the next 2-3 years so we have to get with the times.
most of our writing assessments are done online so this is really just next step for when ss are "assessment ready"
A1 - Been 1:1 for 6 years. Technology doesn't replace good teaching. Easy to turn the device into an $ pencil. Change task.
Getting Ss assessment ready .... Hmmm (Sad.) But I get it.
I wish Ss cld hv freedom 2 publish w/out judgment & along the journey they'll develop.But whole community education round this
Ahahaha...I didn't want to say it but...I have a "clumsy gene" 🙄 I would kill myself 😂😂😂
I think we can give positive feedback all the time & constructive feedback.
Play? But this is School. We cannot play .... .... ... :)
A2 Play is so crucial! Creativity thrives when there's a chance to tinker! https://t.co/27AtpCMMs9
A2 Show digital tools. Let them "play". Provide starter. Watch them create.
A2 introduce various platfroms and tools,explore, let them choose the best platform to express their thoughts & writing skills
constructive feedback helps students’ writing to develop & grow into reflective pieces.
Give them time. Find evidence to refute it. Get to know Ss and their passions.
anything from book creator, word publishing tools, blogging, bubbl.us plus more
Q3 coming up in 1 minute ………..
we can show Ss different models of writing- some that at first glance might. It have been considered great
Thank you my friend 😊 I'll kiss my brain 😘
Yes! Pedagogy & relationships always come first https://t.co/NZ7gw8g8MJ
A1 - Been 1:1 for 6 years. Technology doesn't replace good teaching. Easy to turn the device into an $ pencil. Change task.
yes whole other topic :) but choice in writing is so crucial.
Ss choice when they know the outcome then they choose the best pathway for themselves with tools they know discover or share
Q3) What are the different ways you use to inspire young writers to write and publish their work? https://t.co/UvSZ0zxLOJ
A2 Most importantly, give time and multiple opportunities, writing about their own experiences and play
Yes. But still something to be said about handwriting. Neural connections
I'm just spinning the lingo. It keeps the powers that be happy. I know my ss & make sure they qn everything
Hey everyone. David here from the San Francisco area. Better late than never.
perfinker Thank you my friend I'll kiss my brain
A2 Play is an important aspect of education.
At my elementary, most SS don't have their own devices.
A2 My ss choose how to share their voice: some share with family, some post on Facebook.They reflect on how it affected them
yes! I love doing that. Especially examples of famous speeches.
and we should "play" to allow to flow.
A3 Find their passion would help But is this possible in busy class?
A3: we allow Ss to write in what they care about. Lots of personal. We had kids write poems then present it.
IMO that is why classrooms have Ts not supervisors good teaching is a given - tools provide opportunities for the how
so if Ss prefer pencil & paper to engage in writing this is OK too?
Keep spinning it. I rewrote office supplies into lingo just for fun.
A2.Give Ss the chance to engage with Bee bots,Maker space,Little bits.Bloxels,Robotic Lego ,Oxo bots,Spheros and Drones
A3 Invite Ss into a blog, a student based conference, or collaborate w other Ss in and outside school.
Yeah, I get that. But those that do should be able to use them
Q3: I like student blog sites that students add to all year long. Turns into a portfolio of their work at the end of the year
A3) I like to use books. We talk about the different concept in writing and then they apply it in their own writing.
Art more important and , connects all synapses
Ian from Scotland have a few ideas here on digital writing, will answer questions but will be 2moro. ,it's too early in morn
yet so often cut short, undermined. Recess taken away as "punishment" for example
Yes, it is possible Have them right about something they love & take it from there
in my school it totally is!
I have Ss writing narratives and publishing in , and to give & choice
A3 I intentionally work on developing ss agency. Ss feel empowered to make a difference through their writing.
Q3: Young students can wrtie blog posts back and forth to their parents.
Not sure I agree. Handwriting improves memory. Yes, Art is still important.
really? that’s awesome. How do they share the blogs with their parents?
A3: Blogging & then promoting it through Social Media for comments - give Ss the chance to share their work with the world!
A2 a lot easier to share their work, to communicate social media skill to write140 wrd , message, to do all w/ parents/sts/
I just came across ! looks like a great tool. can't wait to explore
A3 start publishing their work in class,then whole school when they are ready publish their work in digital platform
ChrisAFRIN RusulAlrubail perfinker in my school it totally is!
agree but what does "good" mean - correct spelling and grammar, bumpy comprehension or perfection?
Absolutely. Especially for editing. Draft. Type. Edit.
A3: We enter competitions online all the time in order to give students an outcome to their piece of work/learning
Another great option, send writing to he publishes on website & will help Ss self-publish
broad audience ups the ante & certainly speaks to our increasing "sharing" culture
A3) Every Ss has a story they want to share, some draw, others write a poem, use video, I share my stories, general topic
A3 My Ss always published for peers, parents etc-would have been awesome to use Twitter to publish to a wider audience
I've used in the past. Parents have a joint login code.
I think good digital citizens is more about digital etiquette & communication
teaching that writing is a process is SO important
Have you used It's a great way and safe to control w/ Ss, esp elem.
YES Encourage by reminding them can become part of their A 3 make sure all understa… https://t.co/YYz7EsONUl
A3 start publishing their work in class,then whole school when they are ready publish their work in digital platform
some of these "good" ideas are in the posted THINK poster I linked; over time Ss monitor their own work
A2.I find Procedure writing sngsges pupils from their own experiences eg How to make toast in 5 points.Less is more
Equitable, no. But do we punish or limit those that have? They can share. Our world will never be equitable
many classes connect on twitter & chat w/ each other. A great way to learn about micro-blogging
No, but I'll check it out. I have also heard that is a great site
Absolutely. Kids can live in digital/non-digital notebook 2create writing
A3 all great ideas & promotes positive use of social media
Q4 coming up in 1 minute ………..
yes think kids know this at our school. My quest is hw do we create safe enviro 4 digitalwriting
A3 for older students, nothing beats
A3:we're a GAFE school,docs is a major platform. US History T I'm work w/ uses silent seminar writing. Informal and quick!
are there any good platforms for MS/HS Ts to connect to these?
A3 That's a safe environment for them to start off w blogging.
It is, jump right in. There's a great community around it too. Wiki has so many helpful hints
that was our first question :) to me it’s all about knowing who our students are.
safe to be viewed online I guess maybe I'm asking another question for for another day?
"Good" is different for every kid.
Do you currently write with your students online?
Equitable is not equal. Students require different opportunities. We need to give a s what s/he needs. https://t.co/MQSceFofqp
But is that equitable? I struggle with making sure every S has the same opportunities.It is a hard call but worth d… https://t.co/r6XNfpudvW
A2 How to writing is a big favorite of young students
Late to the party, Mandy Bell from
Kennesaw, Georgia

A5 write about something they did for real e.g. planned, carried out & then reviewed.
A5 talking. it's ok to talk through ur ideas. discussing is writing. generative, ongoing part of the proces.

A5 YES-Collaborative protocol that gets at the heart of accountable talk.
A5: quick writes that promote consistent opportunities for writing. More writing=greater opportunity for better writing.
A5 Some strategies for struggling writers: Give students extra time, work one-on-one, provide timely feedback, give choice.
A5 Use a whole class Google doc to 'magpie' i.e. Ss record amazing vocab/phrases from class chat to use in their own writing
Images are great prompts for writing-that is why I ask Ss to capture nature and write about it.
Hello from Dylan Smith in Ottawa ON. Dropping in late!
A5b Visual Thinking Strategies- using images as inspiration & scaffolding for writing
