A1 I use Twitter for online PD. Twitter helps me to learn from educators from all over the world. Love it! #kcpstechchat

We struggle with getting teachers to attend PD. What ways we could present content electronically? #kcpstechchat

jalfonsoKCPS - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1 I also use Twitter as an online PD tool. I also use "cyber stalk" education leaders & check out websites they recommend #kcpstechchat

kcgirlbn Apr 27 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2 Is Peardeck a viable alternative for face to face PD? #kcpstechchat

jalfonsoKCPS - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT

I think it would be a viable alternative #kcpstechchat

In reply to @kcgirlbn

kcgirlbn Apr 27 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Would we use g Suite to push it out? #kcpstechchat

In reply to @jalfonsoKCPS

jalfonsoKCPS - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:18 PM EDT

You could use G-Suite as the starting platform #kcpstechchat

In reply to @kcgirlbn

kcgirlbn Apr 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 Is there a good way to see what other Urban Districts are using? How can we connect? #kcpstechchat

tammycbuckner Apr 27 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A1. How often is Twitter, Linked or Google suite used by edu system. I think they are great for corp amd edu.#kcpstechchat

kcgirlbn Apr 27 @ 9:25 PM EDT

We are training our teachers in KCPS and we definitely have some using regular #kcpstechchat

In reply to @tammycbuckner

herleadrshplsns Apr 27 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A2 I liked going to the GOOGLE training and also knowing that I could catch up online. I have also been to online conferences #kcpstechchat

kcgirlbn Apr 27 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Teachers are willing if we can make it easily accessible. #kcpstechchat

In reply to @jalfonsoKCPS

herleadrshplsns Apr 27 @ 9:26 PM EDT

We should ask. I use Twitter to meet other educators and go to Edcamps to get to know them #kcpstechchat Also a search of Twitter could work

kcgirlbn Apr 27 @ 9:19 PM EDT

So is a Blended model more the way to go? #kcpstechchat

herleadrshplsns Apr 27 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Got this one!! Webinars Webinars screencasts! I like to do my pd in my pjs. Let Ts video in to learn from home #kcpstechchat

That sounds like a joint venture between IT and PD. I like it! #kcpstechchat

In reply to @acooktweet

herleadrshplsns Apr 27 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Maybe if it were coupled with video #kcpstechchat

They are used by most school districts for many reasons. 1 to brand the district 2. communicate w/ all stakeholders #kcpstechchat

Love it! How do we confirm attendance? #kcpstechchat

In reply to @herleadrshplsns

herleadrshplsns Apr 27 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Yes! Just like our Ss Teachers should be able to access learning from anywhere #kcpstechchat

I think G suite can be used as a project management tool. We used it now to incorporate the 4 C's #kcpstechchat

In reply to @kcgirlbn

herleadrshplsns Apr 27 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Build in a quiz. You could use quizizz to be sure teachers mastered needed concepts. You could also make it time sensitive. #kcpstechchat

We need to be housed next to each other. There is so much we could do together. I am working on a couple of websites now. #kcpstechchat

Also use a google form for teachers to sign in and to give feedback on the pd. That produces a spreadsheet to keep. #kcpstechchat

@herleadrshplsns needs a leadership position. She knows all the ins and outs of edtech and how to use it. #kcpstechchat

kcgirlbn Apr 27 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Barriers might include access, and capacity #kcpstechchat

A4 The big one for Ts that I work with is tech knowldg. Whatever is being used should be something easily accessed & navigated #kcpstechchat

kcgirlbn Apr 27 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Yes, we have such a wide range of tech ability #kcpstechchat

In reply to @herleadrshplsns

tammycbuckner Apr 27 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@acooktweet have used LMS for Wordpress? Its an excellent PD tool for edu websites #kcpstechchat

acooktweet - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:40 PM EDT

Totally agree. We need more PD for T's. They have to be willing to come and not forced to come. #kcpstechchat

I have not. Will have to give it a try. Pretty verse in weebly and blogger #kcpstechchat

They have 2 be drawn in. If we allow them to video in like @kcpublicschools does with school board meetings they would do it #kcpstechchat

A4 We would have to get pass the tech curve. Teachers are going to have to be held accountable for learning 21st Cen, skills #kcpstechchat

kcgirlbn Apr 27 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Yes, I streamed the Teacher Town Hall #kcpstechchat

In reply to @herleadrshplsns, @kcpublicschools

acooktweet - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:44 PM EDT

I think you are right. If we offer some Online classes via video, we could get a better buy in. #kcpstechchat

A5 I like the blended model of tech and f2f May need an artifact or class visit as follow up #kcpstechchat

herleadrshplsns Apr 27 @ 9:47 PM EDT

#truth but administrators have to learn it first otherwise we are having teachers be evaluated for things even admin can't do #kcpstechchat

Need to submit a proposal for Leadership Summit #principalsPD #kcpstechchat

In reply to @herleadrshplsns

kcgirlbn Apr 27 @ 9:49 PM EDT

What comes first. Tech training or Digital PD? #kcpstechchat

herleadrshplsns Apr 27 @ 9:51 PM EDT

I am DEFINITELY going to look into it! Building admin MUST lead the way here #kcpstechchat

Tech training has to be first. Then all stakeholders can integrate tech into their skillset. #kcpstechchat

kcgirlbn Apr 27 @ 9:51 PM EDT

I will send you the proposal link via email #kcpstechchat

In reply to @herleadrshplsns

herleadrshplsns Apr 27 @ 9:53 PM EDT

YES! If Central Office is not using tech w/bldg admin (not just email) then chances are bldg admin are not using tech w/Ts #kcpstechchat

acooktweet - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Great point! think we need to start from the top down. Train the Cabinet first how to use G Suite. That will get the buy-in needed for T's

kcgirlbn Apr 27 @ 9:55 PM EDT

The new Sup seems open to that but Ps are sometimes scared to admit they don't know #kcpstechchat

In reply to @herleadrshplsns

acooktweet - Moderator Apr 27 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Right. Once Cabinet uses the tool, they will see how much time it will save them to get other things done. #kcpstechchat

herleadrshplsns Apr 27 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Agreed. I think Dr. Bedell is working on building a culture of trust & shared accountability. He walks the talk & we need that #kcpstechchat
