Tara Link!! I had so much fun eating lunch with you on Wednesday, talking about education as well as Chapter 11 of that book your work is highlighted in. What's the name of that book again?? #moedchat@Link_pd
A1 Ss creating artifacts that demonstrate their learning + Ss engaging with strategies that use tech to reinforce and reflect on learning and deepen meaning = ‘Process over product.’ #metc18#moedchat
Thx guys! That's exciting to hear! Our team in Chilli is working hard to become an ed leader in NW MO once again. It was exciting to have a real presence at #metc18 this year! #moedchat
A1: my crazy ideas aren't crazy. From mastery learning, to OER, to standards based, to PBL I'm just ahead of the many in the game in this corner of the world. #moedchat
Ha! I was told I was a "trail blazer." That explained a lot. I get it now. I just need to make sure I have plenty of water to keep the fires under wraps. #moedchat
My thinking is always stretched at #METC18 the process and design was a theme throughout and shows the depth of how far we have come. Exciting, for sure! #moedchat
A1 - it’s my first year in this district and in this role. Being around many others in this role really helped me define a bit more where I want to focus my energy and ideas at home. #MOedchat

A1 @sadieclorinda's precon design session was straight up dynamite. You owe it to yourself to check out one of her sessions if you get the chance. #moedchat
Hi all! Michelle, instr tech coach from Sikeston, jumping in. A1: biggest takeaway was that so many people are doing so many great things. Really motivated me to finish the year strong. Loved seeing how it motivated my teaching peeps who attended too #moedchat
Hi Melissa! Yes, there ARE great things happening in the midwest. We must keep moving forward, keep looking forward, and pull others in with us as we go. #inertia#moedchat#metc18
A2 I never really realized all the ways to use @Flipgrid until I watched my fellow @DiscoveryEleme1 teacher @sgshallenberger talk about it. I know, I’m late to the game, but it is REALLY applicable to everyone #moedchat
A2. Love my new Rocket Notebook! Had no idea what it was -- maybe sounded foolish making fun of the Not Microwaveable sticker -- learned my lesson LOL Can't wait to really start using it! #moedchat

A2: my new favorite tool is Google Sheets. I’ve used it for years but the way @sadieclorinda uses it is a whole other level. I have become a formula nerd! #moedchat

Love it! Using @joshchoward badge system with Badgelist was a huge success for our district this year! Now we have a teacher trying it with student badging! #moedchat
Hello Michelle--your thoughts below made me smile & reflect! There is something special about being a part of a buzzing group of people keen on learning & learning for the greater good--our kids. #souluplifting. It's like putting supercharged gas in our tank. #moedchat#METC18

I'm curious about @anchor too. Wanting to explore more w/it & the open community commenting piece before letting my kids at it. We're gonna have a blast w/@Raspberry_Pi! #moedchat
Alright. I've looked at those online. I'd appreciate it knowing your reflections, thoughts around using it. I'm curious!! Feel free to tag or DM if you think of it.
Thank you, Sophie! #moedchat#metc18

Absolutely! I think that’s also one of the reasons edcamps are so good...any teacher willing to meet on a Saturday to learn and grow is a teacher I want to know! #MoEdChat
A2 Can’t wait to dig into Sutori. Collaboration allowed and it’s free! @kellydoliva shared so many cooks things in her STEAMy session too! #METC18#moEdchat
💜YES YES YES 💜
Teaching and Learning are both about THE LEARNER ~ relationships matter, tech tools are a means to connect and expand that learning; getting to know your students is very important #Charcter#Grit#DigCit#EduLeader#MOedchat
We started planning a badging system last year with Credly and WordPress but quickly got bogged down. I definitely need to check out badgelist and see if that can get us going. #moedchat
A3 Teach Ss ‘how to’ use sketchnotes to create a process for task completion. Sounds simple, but often all Ss are given is a rubric and a due date. Thanks, @manuelherrera33 & @RLH_DesignED#metc18#moedchat
A2 - really excited to take a deeper dive into Sheets which has always been a back burner app. @sadieclorinda had a great session that scratched the surface of a lot of possibilities for me. #moEdchat
Bitmojis are FUN & useful! I was in an #METC18 session with @debbiefuco and @jhox1. Their kids make 'bitmojis' using selfies...elementary age. The kids pose, take 5 different pics, then they remove backgrounds to make REAL bitmojis of themselves. :) #mathmojis#moedchat

A3: Just one? HA! I think my greatest was when @thegridmethod presented his system and I realized how similar it was to mine. The second was when @sadieclorinda presented Connected Coaching & inspired me to keep pushing with our PD #moedchat

I wish we would have had more time in Sheets! We didn't even get to everything I had planned! There are SO MANY great things you can do with sheets! #moedchat
A3 Yup, when I realized that I can't keep up with other's passionate learning. I realize it is ok just to marvel in their intelligence. #dontneedtocompete#moedchat
A3: Ah ha moment. Thinking about all the “leaders by action” as opposed to the “leaders by title” in my path has given me much needed perspective. #moedchat

I'm using BadgeU Sheets Add On from @get_sharpe It is MAGIC. I'm working on an @PowToons fairy tale of how Princess Eleanna ended up hating the Evil Grade Queen and Wizard Daniel saved her & her students. (Yes, we use a magic wand in class when seeing the script magic.) #moedchat

It's not quite a quotation, but it was inspired by @Bethany_Petty#itsnotthetech: Just a thought, if a T isn't a good T, no amount of tech will make them better. #METC18#moedchat
A3 so many… Mostly I realized what a great culture has been built in my district by @Erin_Lawson3, so much awesomeness by my fellow @OrchardFarmRV teachers that I feel I need to step up my game #moEdchat
A3. My Aha Moment this year was that Slides should look like Billboards -- I always knew they needed to be majorly simplified, but I could never get that across to students -- love the rules @creathsclass gave me for it (pt1) #moedchat
A4 "If we look at how the ISTE Standards for Students used to be compared to now - it used to be about what they know, and now it’s about who we want them to be." @billbass#METC18#moedchat
A4 One of the students who has worked the IT Help Desk for a few years said, "many presenters know what they're doing this year; they hardly need us to help connect their computers anymore." #Progress + #NowWhat = #StudentPD#Brainstorming#MOedchat
My Ss laughed at my "people" I drew today, so I told them, "It's not about how I draw, it's THAT I draw to help you learn and remember what we talk about." #can'tblamethem #notabouttheart#METC18#moedchat

I need a work day just to plan all the great things I learned! 3D printing, STEM and @joshchoward talking YouTube was a fantastic way to finish up sessiins! #moedchat

I'm not a tech nerd, I consider myself a competent user. I am always more interested in the process than the tool. I appreciate sessions that focus on the why's and how's and less on the what's. #moedchat
Yes! I didn't get to that session, but saw her pikttochart online and shared it with my Ss today! Also love the idea of using @pechakucha model for presentations 20slidesx20seconds #moedchat

1. Slides are meant to be like billboards -- 2. Font size should be double the audience's age -- 3. Your audience will listen or read but not both #moedchat
A5: I have already been sharing "Powerful Partnerships" strategy vs. culture and how we can work together to build a culture for the betterment of our SS #moedchat#METC18@BethHouf@joshchoward
A4 - not necessarily a new concept, but sometimes you need to hear the right thing at the right time. @joshchoward talking about moving from consumer to creator in a YouTube session was that for me. #moedchat
I would like to have my k-5 students do a school podcast and thought about using it. I need to run it through a "school" account though, so it isn't my personal podcast. Need to figure out if I can have two accounts like I have for Twitter.

A3: aha moment was in @teach42 session on digital literacy and memes. There was a time when we taught dig lit so students didn’t have incorrect facts in their reports. Now we need to teach dig lit because “fake news” is all around us. Too easy to photoshop, spin, share #moedchat
I had a picture of each of you in my leadership presentation...a teacher came up afterwards and told me she could tell how proud I am of “my pumpkins.” I realized right then she was right, I was “Mom Proud” for sure!!! 😄 #MoEdChat#metc18
A5: Today I shared with the my students the explore button on the Google App. I am sharing with my 8th graders next week on how to Prevent Pathetic Projects from @creathsclass#moedchat#metc18
@teach42 and @joshchoward validated my concern that Ss making videos that aren't "beautiful" is OK. Fun and engaging + documenting learning process = GOLDEN! #moedchat
I have never been to Cape and that needs to change! My husband and I drove to Memphis last summer and skirted SE MO but no Cape experience yet! #edcampSEMO#moedchat#METC18
A5: I've already shared several things I mentioned, but will be using sketch notes with my Ss and hoping to utilize YouTube more with my Ts. Nothing terribly new but will be used in new ways. #moedchat
I am always fascinated when I attend sessions by @RLH_DesignED and @manuelherrera33 What they do si really foreign to how my brain works. It is like watching someone work with a foreign language I can sort of understand, but not really. #moedchat
A4. Not to sound conceited but I loved how one of my own quotes ended up coming out & how my Twitter community latched on to it -- "Follow who you want, build your PLN, grumpy/antiquated teachers aren't really on Twitter. Thats what I love about Twitter" #moedchat
Yep - I have my students use fake text/Twitter/Insta/etc. generators in class for literature all the time... but realize they can also be used in real life... :( #moedchat
I highly recommend the Black Panther album (and yes there is a sort of clean version on Spotify) It is my soundtrack during #moedchat tonight #musicchat
I want to create a bank of pics of teachers in my building that can be meted, starting with @mrsgoessling Kids would have so much fun with that! #moEdchat

Occasionally I have to post that I don't use the like button often enough. I use it as a bookmark so I am not in the habit of liking everything I should. #moedchat
Exactly. My student wanted to know how being a diverse school makes us different from majority Ss schools. Had to research, interview for opinions or talk to authority figures. Created multiple episodes and was super engaged. Very proud of him. #MoEdChat
A6: Honestly where we are & what I need "help" with is getting the Ts, admin, BOE, and Ss on board w/ the changes we want to make. Now, how to help? Pray! And watch for my pleas for resources when I need them. #moedchat
Consider doing multimedia group presentation. A writer or blogger, a film, and a podcast on a similar topic and hosted all on an online website. That would be unbelievable to see!! #moedchat
Let me get this geographically situated in my mind...@drmcclard@El_FrinkELA and @crystaslaughter are all from SEMO. Who else is from SEMO area---share some twitter handles! Geting to know you all will be a very wise move. #moedchat#edcampSEMO

A6. As an Innov & Learning Coach, I want more ideas of how to support teachers & encourage/motivate them to improve instruction thru tech -- not more tools to have them try -- how to support them in doing it well #moedchat
Have them watch the METC TV sessions from #METC18
Pick one or two to show them & spark interest in the direction you want them to go. Free #METCpd for those who were #notatMETC18#MOedchat
For example, I just lead a 14 Days of ValenTech that was a HUGE hit! Felt like I was finally making a wide impact and meeting teachers where they're at. Now, how do I keep doing that without it losing its novelty. #moedchat
One thing we're thinking of doing next month is an Elite 8 Tech Challenge to motivate some of our more tech-timid kinda like the ValenTech Challenge I just did. Still thinking thru the logistics #moedchat
I love returning to Ss after being inspired at #METC18. My heart melted a little when I found this on a 8th grade Ss paper tonight. This guy didn't like me much last year. #moedchat
