. Greetings from Miami, Tisha!!
kyle - network admin from philly. i'm sort of paying attention while watching oj
A1: Biggest impact in T & S learning, facilitating excitement in creating awesome projects.
During our Art and Innovation Fair. Our STEAM Ss creat projects, oh, and used their iPads for notes. https://t.co/8ULCiZBhuw
A1: biggest impact is pretty obvious with its use, ease of access, and collaboration that can happen with drive.
Great to hear! We tend to undervalue the ability for Ss to “understand” & “express” in favor of content content content
A1 some many interchangeable tools that allow students to personalize projects
Welcome sir. I'll try not to spoil the ending for you.
a1: i've seen some students use notability to create some fantastic notes.
Got my first taste of & revamped compliments of . Excited to add to the S toolbox to bld
please don't. the suspense is KILLING me
We live in such a personlized & customized world yet some don’t understand that role in Edu.
Imagine if you couldnt have your burger your way. Am I right?
Q1: love movie trailers and taste made style videos made by Ss. Also, love the photos Ss take of their food.
A1 having web storage allows files to move between apps
A1: Biggest impact 4 my Ss -being able 2 share their learning w/ others via drawing, audio, camera INDEPENDENTLY.
Chris, personalized learning specialist, fav app - ahh, so many! tops
The biggest creative impact has been when Ss & Ts app smash to create what they need.
Yea we just did the jump to 32GB iPads because 16GB just cant cut it.
I don't think having a burger your way is not going to save Burger King
A1 cont...Ss enjoy using to sketchnote
Q2 coming up in a minute!
Hi everyone! Mike Saracini jumping in a bit late!
Make sure you follow the awesome people in this chat. Its all about sharing
I skipped 16 gigs. They were a non-starter for me
Better late than never. Welcome!
Summer goal is to find ways I can better help Ss reflect on thinking & learning. Frustrated w/ my past efforts
Welcome Mike. Glad you could join us again.
Seeing lots of creative thinking from iPad, more & choice
A1 A long beard has been a great tool for me to use
Can't wait! We're upgrading later this year from 16gb!
if you buy any device, other than a chromebook, with 16 gb, send it back & spend more money.
When I saw our Theology classes using it to draw what they learned on a topic - made my day! Great review!
good for wiping the screen.
After having MacBooks for years then piloting iPads, I would rather have nothing than lose my iPads. https://t.co/NslxCtvGU6
Seeing lots of creative thinking from iPad, more & choice
and get your common sense levels checked
Great for storage and insulation.
Glad we got to connect at Especially since we got to see present in the process.
If it was only so ez 2 convince school brds 2 spend money/find money that we don't have
is now trending in USA, ranking 44
A2: Students created newscasts that shared different perspectives if America was correct in dropping atomic bomb.
Bam! I just finished a 30 day intensive review going iPad Pro only. So worth it. Review coming soon!
that's why chromebooks are a great alternative ipad device.
Q2: Ability to splice satellite images off of google to show theories of
A2: My HS + G4 created "Google Galaxy" & "If I Built a Library" family tech nites. G4s RAN the events
This looks fun! Will definitely check it out.
Video please... That's amazing
A2 Impressed with the seamlessness as Ss created multifaceted proj incl book reviews, trailer, soundtrack, & commentary.
I can't wait to see it! Our district is moving 100% iPad. This would be a huge help to justify the move T's.
Use of to share work with classmates and create digital workflow for teachers - amazing!
Lets keep this chat focused. iPad Vs. Chromebooks is a moot point like Apple Vs Artichokes
8th graders & freshmen made iBooks on genetic disorders including screencast of how they occur
Thank you for the resource . I will explore!
like artichokes, chromebooks are cheaper than ipads. i was only talking about cost.
A2: To flip paradigm, I was blown away by what my Ss could take apart & learn from in our BreakerSpace. Incredible
A2: Ss had 60 min to make a recipe using puff pastry, create a tastemade video, and post to Google classroom. They rocked it!
A2: Biggest creative impact has been in Ss as producers. Film has played such a huge role in how our Ss express their ideas.
has been life changing! Totally changed how I teach. Great for students to be able to choose how to show their thinking.
Students publishing their own books with & distributing them
A2: Students also created Holocaust poems & artwork based on survivors stories & published on iTunes. via
and how Ts share lessons. Ss have ability to go back & review the lesson from THEIR teacher whenever & wherever.
A2: love how videos can be made quickly, 30sec movie can be made in half a class
A2: Impact of gentrification on healthcare in Echo Park. Helps develop empathy for community https://t.co/k3U7ipkwoI
Yes. Its a great way to snapshot learning and give Ss a new way to learn and relearn.
YES Check out anything/everything does w/ video as a creation tool https://t.co/cNvRUmnvpL https://t.co/dRzF6SfOX4
A2: Biggest creative impact has been in Ss as producers. Film has played such a huge role in how our Ss express their ideas.
A2, Lisa, IC joining late. Ss coded games and a stock market app as if it existed in 1929!
A student video can tell me more about what they understand than any traditional test ever can.
A2 Extended blackout poetry w/ stop motion. Original article, final poem, and visual displayed as QR were explored by many.
A2 My students used Seesaw to show their parents what they were doing
Would have to put up there as a game changer. https://t.co/qe3J9I9csb
Got my first taste of & revamped compliments of . Excited to add to the S toolbox to bld
1st grders researched animal, wrote information piece using incl images from Pics4Learning & shared via

Students publishing their own books with & distributing them
Want to see a GREAT use of classroom Twitter acct? Follow & work your way back through this year's exploration
A2: Connecting with Ss & others outside our schools walls to co-create, changes everything. Real connections.
Nice! Welcome. Love the history meets technology approach!
If Expeditions would be released for iPads...that would be great!
Q3… coming up. What a chat tonight! Awesome ideas here.
A3 is this a troll question? SAMR is the devil
We give heart. Next year will build on this one.
A3 I avoid those 4 letter like the plague
Thanks. I was about to watch it earlier and then .. Squirrel.
A3: Using It was basic question & answer activity but the instant feedback I could provide instantly engaged them.
Point is they're not the same thing so price is moot.
Using the text to speech dictation feature of the iPad and apps allows many students to capture their thoughts & story
A3: Note SAMR = Substitution, Augmentation, Modification & Redefinition if you haven't seen that acronym https://t.co/GaVFxaNVzG
it' hrd to pell without the
A3: is a great way of SA-ing simple notes
A3: If we are trying to transform learning & make real change, the S is irrelevant. Redefine through creation & collaboration
A3: is an awesome way for Ss to learn in a fast paced engaging game based style. Its S or A on SAMR but so awesome.
So many times voice and creativity are lost when writing is a struggle that interrupts & takes over the focus on the story
A3 it limits student freedom to choose. Tech isn't always the answer
try telling schools without money that price doesn't matter.
A3: Audio in Notability = Teacher speaks feedback. Student listens and integrates. Like an asynch writing conference
A3: virtual field trips & connecting with classrooms around the world instantly engage students
I asked about the S. He says it’s there for a purpose to build and grow. Can't “MR” the whole classroom exp.
And the other way around to help Ss who struggle with reading. Very powerful for a 'simple' tool
YES! Get or going about Mystery Skype -- if you have all day. https://t.co/QUPptpK5iy
A3: virtual field trips & connecting with classrooms around the world instantly engage students
Notes on steroids with drawings, audio, photos, and the sharability.
As an art school graduate, I feel you. Ss need to chose the right tool at the right time.
I totally understand that pt. It's where we started in our 1:1 w/ Ts. I just see it as more damaging now
I blame you for Question 3
A3) Reduced paper waste by uploading PDFs instead of printing. Less than 100 sheets used this term!
as a hater of 4 letter acronyms, I hear you
Was intro'd to last week- similar but self paced. Great for Ss that can read ?s independently https://t.co/iVL4u7rEGD
A3: is an awesome way for Ss to learn in a fast paced engaging game based style. Its S or A on SAMR but so awesome.
When I saw it pop up, I knew where your responses would be. I understand your position.
True, but you might not create an augmented reality exp. to get a shopping list together. Technology with a purpose.
A3: Writers workshop through - virtual writers notebook
FREE MUSIC PROMO For Up & Coming Artists🎶🎤🎧 Send Your Music To artbychey@gmail.com For FREE Exposure!
Also great for organizing. Scan paper notes as PDF's & place into folders in Notability
Way to get on the new tool(s). Hopefully it helps make brochures disappear as class projects.
Does scanning notes and keeping/annotating in use a lot of memory?
A3: Ss use iPads to create marketing pitches for their food trucks in gamified culinary class. Amazing Food Truck Race theme
The new suite is beyond epic. Still trying to work out user account login for the little ones
A4: We've taken full advantage of GAFE tools. Can't even imagine how many forms we created this year. HyperDocs next.
A4 there is a lot of choice with so many app to choose from
A4: helps Ss learn how to create, share and learn with community in the cloud
A4 Creating authentic work while considering purpose and audience.
Not too bad. We try to stay away from notes on the iPad in general. Paper/Pen is better tool.
A4: I love how classroom and have allowed everyone to participate in & out of the classroom.
A3: has allowed Ss to collaborate and support critique others contributions as it happens
The iPad has enabled teachers to start using on a regular basis because students have ready access to the devices
A4: Clssrm Twitter acct via iPads has globally connected us w/ other Ss. for communicating w/ Ps has been priceless
A4: Ever met smart people who cant communicate ideas or work together w/ people. When do they learn those skills? After college?
Hey check Macbeth Podcast Projects: Ss connect w experts, explore, & are empowered. https://t.co/JdV3beuxgC
Excited that helps Ss share their understanding in ways previously impossible. Connects Ss w experts, empowers them!
is such a great way to share Ss created material.
A4: iPad + Inclusion Setting = The Perfect Environment! ALL Ss engaged & clearly communicating with their peers
A4: I love when I see my students use iPad Messenger or Snapchat to ask questions or share their learning.
You know the convo is great when you cant keep track. So many great ideas being shared right now
A4: coll & comm are my fav things about gamified class. We use ipads everyday to share ideas via Google classroom, etc.
Q5 is coming up! Don’t want to run out of time!
A4: for connecting with parents & for global connections!
These are such essential skills for the Ss future. Too many Ts focus on skills the Ts needed.
are you trying to say Leonard Nimoy looked like an owl
Why don't Ts blog more? You don't have time to reflect? You don't have time to grow & connect? I don't get it.
I'm guilty of not being a blogger.
A4:Started / global collab rdg prject - .Was gr8 way 4 my Ss 2 share lrng & lrn from others
Need to look beyond the initial cost. Life of device and educational impact.
Yeah but you're using SnapChat in the classroom, so that good trumps my berating of you earlier.
Be not afraid . Your co-orgs (OK ) faithfully archive every chat every week. https://t.co/9wbKwFLyHv
You know the convo is great when you cant keep track. So many great ideas being shared right now
that is why a raspberry pi will alway be the perfect choice
Can't wait to implement with my new class in the fall. Will open so many more doors!
My biggest “missed opp” of the year was that I did not blog enough. Working this summer to change that.
I think many don't think what they have to share is valuable.
My goal is once a week for this upcoming year. Now that I put it out there in public, I have to do it.
A5 we celebrate paper by making sketches of ideas
A5 Ss excited to share via blog & twitter. Also very proud of their work & QR codes on bulletin boards. S led conferences too.
A5: After a unit & tech project when students go home and actually discuss their learning with family. Beyond the device.
Mwhaha. Still waiting on my "$9 computer" I backed on
Gotta screengrab that one!
Need to share in smaller environment first. Maybe all school PD. Quick post in ?
These are the stories I want to hear. “What did you do at school today?” - Let me show you!
Tossing in the invisible towel. Thank you . A lot of great info in tonight's
Thanks for joining us and sharing with us!
Q6 is on the horizon! Almost done. The hour blew by!
A5: this one has me stumped, probably not good
A5: When they like it enough to use it at home. We used and this week. They loved the projects.
I understand that. Ts start with it & hand over classroom blog to students Share experience
Thanks for being here Always good to have you with us.
Its a work in progress. Took me 3 years to develop. The Invisible iPad makes visits to schools.
Agree but sometimes putting yourself out there in front of colleagues can be even more intimidating
A5: Staff come in to judge competitions and video pres created on iPad.
Q6: Celebrate your success! Please share a resource showcasing you and your student's amazing work! https://t.co/uxWzSvQmby
Don't just chat, change. What idea/concept will you take away from this chat to change/improve your practice TOMORROW?
A6: Great for quick interactive learning and projects.
Everyone needs to have a purpose and understand of tech. Mindset before Process & Function.
My other goal is to hangout with this summer & learn more about using
A6 I used Book Creator to make a memory book and downloaded to Seesaw parents loved it
Our focus always starts with where Ts want Ss to go. Then we choose tool(s) & reflect later
Thank you for an amazing chat! If iPads ain’t your thing thats ok because it’s NOT about the device! https://t.co/ZhaLFRhtS1
