Hello #edtechbridge tweeps! Tina from TN lurking from bball tonight...great topic!

theASIDEblog Jan 27 @ 7:12 PM EST

One of our favorite things on a snow day is to catch up with blogging & tweeting - and we encourage students to do the same #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Jan 27 @ 7:12 PM EST

1. What about snow days prevents ongoing continuous learning? #edtechbridge

Q1. What about snow days prevents ongoing continuous learning? #edtechbridge #edtechbridge

educatorlisa Jan 27 @ 7:13 PM EST

A1: Students in many communities do not have access to internet. This means lost time unless books/materials are home. #edtechbridge

Q_i_a_n_a Jan 27 @ 7:13 PM EST

Q1 is out! What about snow days prevents ongoing continuous learning? #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Jan 27 @ 7:13 PM EST

A1: We've adopted a mentality that no school means we are off the hook (for better or worse) #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Jan 27 @ 7:13 PM EST

@educatorlisa and this is a huge question that we need to keep in the forefront tonight #techquity #edtechbridge

Media_Barber Jan 27 @ 7:13 PM EST

A1. My refusal to move from the couch & type - see dog blanket from previous tweet. #edtechbridge

NealManegold Jan 27 @ 7:13 PM EST

A1: Direct instruction, lack of Internet access, Ts like me who treated digital as an add on not a requirement #EdTechBridge

Q_i_a_n_a Jan 27 @ 7:13 PM EST

@educatorlisa do they need school designed materials or can their environment serve as the resources? #edtechbridge

eInternDavid Jan 27 @ 7:13 PM EST

A1) If it's where snow is uncommon, the urge to go play in it for one. It gets prioritized over everything, including eating. #edtechbridge

theASIDEblog Jan 27 @ 7:13 PM EST

Even if school is closed, learning shouldn't be binary, yes or no; there are so many ways to connect with students remotely #edtechbridge

MrSchoenbart Jan 27 @ 7:14 PM EST

Hey #edtechbridge. Adam from NY! Will try to be in and out but glad to make it live for first time in a while!!

1925MP Jan 27 @ 7:14 PM EST

I think the focus immediately shifts to the one-on-one that students can get on those days @mr_isaacs #edtechbridge

mrsapia_teach Jan 27 @ 7:14 PM EST

@educatorlisa connectivity is certainly an issue for some in my school community. #edtechbridge

knowclue Jan 27 @ 7:14 PM EST

mr_isaacs - Moderator Jan 27 @ 7:14 PM EST

@MrSchoenbart Hey Adam - figured you'd have much to add tonight! #edtechbridge

usabbs Jan 27 @ 7:14 PM EST

a LMS like @edmodo can help with continuous learning during snow days. #edtechbridge

educatorlisa Jan 27 @ 7:14 PM EST

@Q_i_a_n_a I think this is an absolute YES as long as we've encouraged them to think in this manner. School doesn't = learning #edtechbridge

theASIDEblog Jan 27 @ 7:14 PM EST

If parents can say they're "telecommuting" or "working from home," why can't students? #edtechbridge

raspberryberet3 Jan 27 @ 7:15 PM EST

A1: lack of access to Internet during storm; lack of FTF; other distractions like TV lol #edtechbridge

AlexVKluge Jan 27 @ 7:15 PM EST

A1 Snow? In Austin? Are you kidding? #EdTechBridge

mrsapia_teach Jan 27 @ 7:15 PM EST

A1: Students could be outside playing, hanging out with friends. Think that's important, too. Plus lack of access to tech. #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Jan 27 @ 7:15 PM EST

I know I struggle with the #techquity issue in that is not much of an issue in my district but obviously a very big issue #edtechbridge

Media_Barber Jan 27 @ 7:15 PM EST

A1. Power & internet access may be very, very important, though I take my books unplugged. #edtechbridge

djsardine Jan 27 @ 7:15 PM EST

A1: I think the answer you're looking for is Nothing #edtechbridge @mr_isaacs

MrSchoenbart Jan 27 @ 7:15 PM EST

A1: Some schools / leaders / communities aren't ready to move past the lack of #F2F learning yet. Needs purpose/accountability #edtechbridge

knowclue Jan 27 @ 7:15 PM EST

A1, perhaps a better Q is how can we use #snowdays to tap into the learning kids are doing outside of school? #edtechbridge

Q_i_a_n_a Jan 27 @ 7:15 PM EST

@NealManegold in those situations could students have self teach/instruct on that day? what might that teach them that day? #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Jan 27 @ 7:15 PM EST

@mrsapia_teach I agree that it's important but I'm not sure everything has to stop... #edtechbridge

raspberryberet3 Jan 27 @ 7:15 PM EST

A1: forgetting books & resources at school day before #edtechbridge

scottmpetri Jan 27 @ 7:15 PM EST

A1 Digital learning helps me extend class online. My Ss are doing a WWI Book Study/practicing acad convos. #EdTechBridge

@MrSchoenbart Hey welcome to the live party! #edtechbridge

1925MP Jan 27 @ 7:16 PM EST

Tech has made this really possible. Kids connect through #GAFE and great discusssions happen. @theASIDEblog #edtechbridge

mrsapia_teach Jan 27 @ 7:16 PM EST

@mr_isaacs I think it comes down to balance. Having a Skype or GHO can be very powerful and should be done. #edtechbridge

educatorlisa Jan 27 @ 7:16 PM EST

MrSchoenbart Jan 27 @ 7:17 PM EST

Equity, access, resources, etc. are huuuuge issues here but there's also a gap in pedagogy, leadership, application here #edtechbridge

mrsapia_teach Jan 27 @ 7:17 PM EST

@scottmpetri it's revolutionized what we do. Love Google classroom for its ease of use and it being cloud based. No lost work. #edtechbridge

bdean1000 Jan 27 @ 7:17 PM EST

Snow days- great op for uncaged learning, We know the true digital divide is btwn those who self-direct & those who don't. #edtechbridge

Q_i_a_n_a Jan 27 @ 7:17 PM EST

@eInternDavid Play could be good and is opportunity for learning correct? #edtechbridge

spirrison Jan 27 @ 7:17 PM EST

A1) A lot of components need to work together. Devices, resources, how to incorporate into home instruction. #edtechbridge

raspberryberet3 Jan 27 @ 7:17 PM EST

@mrsapia_teach @scottmpetri I've been hearing such great things about this! I MUST look into it more! #edtechbridge

AlexVKluge Jan 27 @ 7:19 PM EST

A1 Psychologically, as a kid, I associated snow days with play and going outside. Not staying in and studying. #EdTechBridge

mrsapia_teach Jan 27 @ 7:19 PM EST

@scottmpetri @swivl nice. I've used Educreations and Explain Everything when I've flipped. #edtechbridge

Q_i_a_n_a Jan 27 @ 7:20 PM EST

Q2: What kind of learning can students continue to pursue without direction instruction? Should there be accountability for learning?

theASIDEblog Jan 27 @ 7:21 PM EST

Other way to connect with kids remotely is via all the backchannel tools; turn them into forechannels #edtechbridge https://t.co/8GnIg9gZLO

AlexVKluge Jan 27 @ 7:21 PM EST

A1.1 Do the kids expect to study on a snow day? Or is their mental model that a day off school is to play. #EdTechBridge

bdean1000 Jan 27 @ 7:21 PM EST

@educatorlisa @knowclue Agreed on the lack of access problem. Yet, there are other options to experiment, explore, & learn #edtechbridge

A2. My Ss need to read more - books, newspapers, blogs, wikis. Share stories/ write stories. #edtechbridge

A2: I found that passion projects allowed students to work through snow days and take advantage of independent study time #edtechbridge

bdean1000 Jan 27 @ 7:22 PM EST

@knowclue I could not agree more. Informal learning is a new critical life skill for the connected age. #edtechbridge

@mr_isaacs @Media_Barber To be fair to T's, ATM that puts more on their already full plate. Only works w/ systemic change. #edtechbridge

@mr_isaacs and that accountability can be in form of a reflection or observation; doesn't have to be a standard product #edtechbridge

As teachers we need to avoid panicking about missed curriculum & make-up days. A snow day is not a crisis, it's an opportunity #edtechbridge

knowclue Jan 27 @ 7:51 PM EST

#justsaying, this is the perfect opportunity to shift OUR thinking bout the importance of play #edtechbridge https://t.co/2rpfFzUJU5

knowclue Jan 27 @ 7:49 PM EST

#edtechbridge - We've taken away recess, loaded Ss w/ homework & now want to infringe upon the gift of a #snowday? What's wrong w/this pic?

mr_isaacs - Moderator Jan 27 @ 7:51 PM EST

A5: leverage informal learning opportunities and spaces (kids are already doing amazing learning outside of school) #edtechbridge

PledgeCents Jan 27 @ 7:52 PM EST

@raspberryberet3 @mr_isaacs @theASIDEblog do Ss use personal accounts or accounts made w/ the class? #edtechbridge

Q_i_a_n_a Jan 27 @ 7:52 PM EST

@bobbylox some of our best scientist never even had a coach, imagine that. They just got in there, good ole' trial and error #edtechbridge

educatorlisa Jan 27 @ 7:52 PM EST

@knowclue I agree here. I think we can absolutely shift our idea about play to be more learning-focused. #edtechbridge

eInternDavid Jan 27 @ 7:52 PM EST

A5) Ask Ss this question too. Give them a say. My 5yo knows what works for her better than I do. #edtechbridge

raspberryberet3 Jan 27 @ 7:52 PM EST

A5: Twitter, IG, Voxer, YT, LMS, blog, Skype, Minecraft, media on TV, radio, #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Jan 27 @ 7:52 PM EST

@knowclue point taken - for me much of the learning is and can/should be through play #edtechbridge

Rdene915 Jan 27 @ 7:52 PM EST

@mr_isaacs #edtechbridge A4 Ss can have choices, learn new #edtech skills, focus on diff areas,

Media_Barber Jan 27 @ 7:53 PM EST

@knowclue Yes! We need to think about play (I miss recess) & Ss need to think about learning as a game, not work too. #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Jan 27 @ 7:53 PM EST

@knowclue I have that unique situation where often my students want to continue learning based on intrinsic motivation #edtechbridge

raspberryberet3 Jan 27 @ 7:53 PM EST

I question having set periods; learning should be seamless & not labeled subject specific :) @mr_isaacs #edtechbridge

knowclue Jan 27 @ 7:53 PM EST

Thank YOU!! @mr_isaacs #edtechbridge https://t.co/QadFfZN7Ve

#edtechbridge @knowclue can Ss use play to teach? Did you go sledding? How fast? Build a snowman? How big?

Q_i_a_n_a Jan 27 @ 7:53 PM EST

A5: Lots of new developments in peer-to-peer, that would not need wifi or data plan. Just Bluetooth #edtechbridge

Media_Barber Jan 27 @ 7:54 PM EST

Lovely seeing you, but my tea & dog blanket are calling. Have a great evening (or whatever wherever you are). #edtechbridge

raspberryberet3 Jan 27 @ 7:54 PM EST

@PledgeCents @mr_isaacs @theASIDEblog Twitter rules is 13 & over so grade 8 above had their own & below had class account #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Jan 27 @ 7:54 PM EST

It's ironic because I have some cognitive dissonance with this entire topic :) #edtechbridge

1925MP Jan 27 @ 7:54 PM EST

A5, letting S's use what works best for them; let them learn how to use this by giving them the opportunity to decide. #edtechbridge

eInternDavid Jan 27 @ 7:54 PM EST

A5) For example, my kid told me about Goldie Blox. Their input can be a catalyst for thinking of new ideas. #edtechbridge

Q_i_a_n_a Jan 27 @ 7:54 PM EST

A5: students can also be their own teacher - giving students the free range to succeed and fail on multiple things in learning #edtechbridge

cybraryman1 Jan 27 @ 7:54 PM EST

We can all find path to same kind of intrinsic learning @mr_isaacs - need to engage Ss to find path. #edtechbridge https://t.co/4fYOyGCOeR

raspberryberet3 Jan 27 @ 7:57 PM EST

I hope that we can adopt a mentality that breaks us free from typ school structure to embrace learning everywhere #edtechbridge
