A1 I disagree b/c I have seen 1st hand some amazing things happening in schools. Teachers are some of the most creative! #UTedChat #utpol

covili - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:06 PM EDT

@MikelleGordon Great to have you join us in #utedchat

downrightdave - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:06 PM EDT

A1: I think there is a lot of innovation, but there are also a lot of state/district/school mandates that compete for time. #utedchat

tfenton84 Sep 28 @ 11:06 PM EDT

A1 I would say that teachers are master innovators, especially given the many constraints placed on them by this same group #UTedChat

EdTecHakk Sep 28 @ 11:06 PM EDT

A1: I agree that the general public thinks that way. In some places they’re right, but in most places (like Utah) they’re wrong. #utedchat

MikelleGordon Sep 28 @ 11:07 PM EDT

@downrightdave totally agree with the mandates limiting time #utedchat

@tpyfer #utedchat disagree!

YoungUTScience Sep 28 @ 11:07 PM EDT

A1 Every day our Ts innovate to meet the different needs of our kids. Walk into any UT school. It's happening. #uted #UTedChat @tpyfer

kytelearning Sep 28 @ 11:07 PM EDT

A1 In Utah we're fortunate to have a solid tech focus! We see a lot of innovation from teachers thanks to the tech. #utpol #utedchat

EdTecHakk Sep 28 @ 11:07 PM EDT

A1 cont: We as educators need to do a better job of sharing the success and innovation that’s happening in our schools. #utedchat

tfenton84 Sep 28 @ 11:07 PM EDT

Exactly my thought on this, @downrightdave #utedchat

marcihouseman Sep 28 @ 11:07 PM EDT

Hi #UTedChat! Jumping in a bit late to the chat but looking forward to the conversation!

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:07 PM EDT

A1 Teachers have to be innovative b/c we want to do awesome things w/ little budget. It's almost magic! #UTedChat #utpol #uted #utleg

MikelleGordon Sep 28 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1 I disagree. I see many amazing things happening everyday. Sad that others can't see it in action. #utedchat

klhneal Sep 28 @ 11:08 PM EDT

I disagree. I think there is plenty of innovation happening in public schools #utedchat

qhenderson Sep 28 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1: Agree. There could be more but many teachers look at it is just"one more thing." #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:08 PM EDT

Welcome to #UTedChat @EScottEngland! Hope you enjoy your time!

michelle_zey Sep 28 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1: Sadly, that is the case. We need to do a better job of showcasing the fantastic things happening behind the scenes. #utedchat

samthompsonpc Sep 28 @ 11:08 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk but where do we find time with all the crap added to our plates #utedchat

jamesballif Sep 28 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1 I think a lot of this is perceived because of the way we have to Assess Ss. There is actually a lot of innovation happening. #utedchat

EScottEngland Sep 28 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1: Unfortunately, if we're still teaching from a text book, they may be right. Teach FOR the kids #utedchat

covili - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

A1 Honestly - yes and no. We know there are both ends of the spectrum in Utah classrooms. I find more Ts are innovative than not.#utedchat

cdcraig_22 Sep 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

A1:I believe as of right now innovation in public ed is happening more than ever due to how tech is being used in schools #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

Ah yes, @Chronicbeard, the joys of playing #DadChat in the evenings! #UTedChat

FarrBfarr Sep 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

A1 Disagree-the interns/1st year teachers I've worked with the past 4 yrs. have been some of the best/creative I've come across #UTedChat

HeidiHatch1 Sep 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

A1 I disagree, working with s can be frustrating but I love the challenge of finding new things that are working #utedchat

And_B_Clark Sep 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

A1: I think that teachers innovate all the time. It's how you engage students every year #utedchat

missplott Sep 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

A1: So true! Hard to be innovative while also prepping for sage! #UTedChat https://t.co/SRxQXnfUAL

downrightdave - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:06 PM EDT

A1: I think there is a lot of innovation, but there are also a lot of state/district/school mandates that compete for time. #utedchat

EdTecHakk Sep 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

@samthompsonpc Two things in this universe that are infinite - time and space. But it never seems like there’s enough of either. #utedchat

mscraftynerd Sep 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

A1: I think it's hard to say- I think teachers feel constrained to innovate so it is greatly diminished. #UTedChat

missplott Sep 28 @ 11:09 PM EDT

Krystal from granite checking in. Not sure how long I'll last. #tiredteacher 😴😴 #utedchat

EScottEngland Sep 28 @ 11:10 PM EDT

For us innovators, what are we doing to inform the public on the great things we're doing? Must build those relationships. #utedchat

tpyfer Sep 28 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1 I see amazing innovation all over the state, but agree that the challenge is how we communicate that to the public #utedchat #utpol #uted

DaniKSloan Sep 28 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1: I agree that we as educators could do a better job sharing. Perhaps some of our students can help us share the successes! #utedchat

Utah_teacher Sep 28 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1 - disagree. new online math, new reading program, Chromebooks, etc. If you think school isn't changing, visit one. #utedchat

samthompsonpc Sep 28 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@covili Don't you think if teachers understand SAMR model, they would have a better sense of meaningful use? #utedchat

qhenderson Sep 28 @ 11:11 PM EDT

A1: gap is wide between innovative teachers and analog teachers. #utedchat

myles8383 Sep 28 @ 11:11 PM EDT

A1: Innovations are happening, but hard for some Ts to get away from things that they have always done. #GeniusHour great start #utedchat

KPete801 Sep 28 @ 11:11 PM EDT

I love this idea of having the students take part in sharing the successes happening in #uted #utedchat https://t.co/qocj3RPJiB

DaniKSloan Sep 28 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1: I agree that we as educators could do a better job sharing. Perhaps some of our students can help us share the successes! #utedchat

westlakepotter Sep 28 @ 11:11 PM EDT

Teachers have a lot on their plates with little extra time, but we can do simple things to share the innovative things from class #utedchat

mscraftynerd Sep 28 @ 11:11 PM EDT

A1: I think teachers are feeling less innovative as they have in the past because there is so much put on their plates. #UTedChat

FarrBfarr Sep 28 @ 11:11 PM EDT

A1 - Sharing/being proactive - using social media to spotlight and celebrate innovation/successes - create our schools stories #UTedChat

covili - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:12 PM EDT

Looking for some help. What would be one word Ts would use to describe Ss. #utedchat

covili - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@samthompsonpc Good point Sam. I know I can shoot low with my tech use. #utedchat

samthompsonpc Sep 28 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@westlakepotter Elaborate....:)#utedchat

westlakepotter Sep 28 @ 11:12 PM EDT

For example, small things like a class Instagram account: https://t.co/mw2vf5bijW Small, but easy! #utedchat

samthompsonpc Sep 28 @ 11:13 PM EDT

@KPete801 I agree, but want to hear more ideas as to how to do this #utedchat

SummertimeTech Sep 28 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A1: It's a trait of teaching. Those that aren't innovative don't seem to last. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:13 PM EDT

@qhenderson But does innovation mean it has to be digital? Can't analog also be innovative? #UTedChat

EScottEngland Sep 28 @ 11:13 PM EDT

@westlakepotter Yes! It takes seconds to snap a quick pic and send to whoever controls social media for the district. #utedchat

HCraigPritchard Sep 28 @ 11:13 PM EDT

Holy cow, #utedchat is rocking tonight, I can't read fast enough to keep up!

MikelleGordon Sep 28 @ 11:13 PM EDT

Agree! Our school just got chromebooks that I want to use but can't find time! #UTedChat https://t.co/1fipZbFAdX

mscraftynerd Sep 28 @ 11:11 PM EDT

A1: I think teachers are feeling less innovative as they have in the past because there is so much put on their plates. #UTedChat

michelle_zey Sep 28 @ 11:13 PM EDT

@SummertimeTech Sadly, many of those that ARE tend to be the ones that don't last b/c they can find options elsewhere. :-( #utedchat

myles8383 Sep 28 @ 11:14 PM EDT

@downrightdave Well Said. So True. #utedchat

tpyfer Sep 28 @ 11:14 PM EDT

Question 2 coming up in 1 minute… #UTedChat

EdTecHakk Sep 28 @ 11:14 PM EDT

"Having a lot on your plate” has always been an issue in education. Being forced into a lock step curriculum is a new problem #utedchat

mscraftynerd Sep 28 @ 11:14 PM EDT

@MikelleGordon they are so fun! I just did a google classroom tech in 20 today. I was disappointed when only 4 teachers came. #utedchat

tpyfer Sep 28 @ 11:15 PM EDT

Q2 @GovHerbert talks about “innovation from the bottom up” or from our #teachers & schools. What are you seeing in schools? #UTedChat #utpol

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:15 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk And yet sometimes having a lot can lead to more innovation to get through it all. But too much is hard. #UTedChat #utpol

tpyfer Sep 28 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@lars3eb @qhenderson The Roy Cone project in Weber is a great example of innovation that is not necessarily technology based

cdcraig_22 Sep 28 @ 11:17 PM EDT

Im seeing how teachers are implementing the use of ipads, smartboards, and laptops in their lessons to involve all students #UTedChat

mscraftynerd Sep 28 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@MikelleGordon Awe! Well you know where to find me Tuesday and Wednesday nights if you ever have questions. 😊#utedchat

@HCraigPritchard Great minds think alike! #UTedChat

klhneal Sep 28 @ 11:17 PM EDT

I didn't see any innovation at the private UT school I worked for. I see some in my kids' schools. I currently teach solely online #utedchat

samthompsonpc Sep 28 @ 11:17 PM EDT

Give teachers the freedom to try things...even if they fail. Innovation happens #utedchat

KPete801 Sep 28 @ 11:18 PM EDT

We talk a lot abt digital innovations, but we switched up how we schedule interventions & have seen good results-that's innovation #utedchat

FarrBfarr Sep 28 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@lars3eb Purpose and intention- makes a huge difference #UTedChat

tpyfer Sep 28 @ 11:18 PM EDT

BTW - can you all be proud of me for learning how to pre-schedule these questions on tweetdeck by myself today #utedchat #olddogsnewtricks

EdTecHakk Sep 28 @ 11:18 PM EDT

A2: Working with Utah teachers using @CanvasLMS I often see innovation with new ways to communicate between school and home. #utedchat

DaniKSloan Sep 28 @ 11:18 PM EDT

A2: After school STEM programs. Our School did #hourofCode Ts implementing new practices and trying new ideas all of the time #utedchat

A2 Ss are producing research papers and slide shows with Google. The research tool allows for them to cite sources automatically! #utedchat

covili - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@samthompsonpc So true Sam. We need to give Ts and Ss freedom to experiment. Sure, they might fail, but they’ll also SUCCEED! #utedchat

Hi I'm Dannielle and I'm a 4th grade teacher #utedchat mostly just reading tweets tonight bedside I'm here super late and also brain dead!

michelle_zey Sep 28 @ 11:49 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk Risky post in Utah, man, risky post. #utedchat

ronaldfisher Sep 28 @ 11:49 PM EDT

Joining in way late - I was home on a Wed. night and I can't miss all of #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:49 PM EDT

@tpyfer I always told my parents we were a team. I was the day shift & they were the night shift. Teachers need parents! #UTedChat #utpol

marcihouseman Sep 28 @ 11:50 PM EDT

@FarrBfarr @tusz11 Indeed! #growthmindset is not just for students. :) Adults too! #utedchat

@dtibbittsUT Glad you’re checking this out tonight Dannielle #utedchat

tusz11 Sep 28 @ 11:50 PM EDT

A5 Funding is usually the answer, but there are plenty of grants out there if people knew where to find them. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:51 PM EDT

One of the reasons I LOVE working w/ @UCET Board & @SUECONutah committee is b/c they stretch me to be a better edu! #UTedChat #utpol #uted

EScottEngland Sep 28 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A5: How many people are going to cite money as a barrier? Or is that just us Illinois folks? #WeWentAYearWithoutABudget #utedchat

ronaldfisher Sep 28 @ 11:51 PM EDT

In a class with 24 it is amazing the difference - used to 27-30. #utedchat

myles8383 Sep 28 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A5: Innovation takes Time, lack of Ss devices, Trying to get Ps and Ts to see benefits. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:51 PM EDT

@And_B_Clark Loved having you at #UTedChat tonight Andrew! Enjoy the #DadChat time now.

marcihouseman Sep 28 @ 11:51 PM EDT

@SummertimeTech @tusz11 Absolutely believe in artistry of teachers! Part of artistry is a willingness to reflect on effectiveness. #utedchat

staceymcginnis5 Sep 28 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A5 Time to learn from good prof dev. Also money for upkeep of devices.Do not leave us hanging with no funds to replace. #utpol #UTedChat

qhenderson Sep 28 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A5: I second @covili Time for PD and More resources, opportunities, intr-district collab #utedchat

samthompsonpc Sep 28 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@lars3eb @ucet @sueconutah miss me some @ucet #utedchat get involved people!

EdTecHakk Sep 28 @ 11:52 PM EDT

One thing I’ve seen in Maryland and Utah is the issue isn’t money, it’s the people who are spending it. #utedchat https://t.co/g1kVOzfk2k

EScottEngland Sep 28 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A5: How many people are going to cite money as a barrier? Or is that just us Illinois folks? #WeWentAYearWithoutABudget #utedchat

pamturley55 Sep 28 @ 11:52 PM EDT

A5 Fear. Trust that a new process can still bring the desired learning outcomes. #utedchat.

MikelleGordon Sep 28 @ 11:52 PM EDT

Effective PD. As a teacher I've sat through a lot of ineffective, time wasting PD. #utedchat https://t.co/o7GCVqW1pT

covili - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A5 I may be biased, but Ts need more time for PD. Training helps spark new ideas. I get lots of great ideas at #utedchat each week.

FarrBfarr Sep 28 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@marcihouseman @tusz11 I share this with my interns/teachers regularly - #UTedChat https://t.co/j673cCkfVR

EScottEngland Sep 28 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk What if those people spending it are your politicians, and your school doesn't see the money? At least not all of it. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:53 PM EDT

No @EdTecHakk, put the "cold beverage" away until after #UTedChat ends!

marcihouseman Sep 28 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@tusz11 Effective collaboration does not generate cookie-cutter lessons. Sets clear learning objectives & common success criteria. #utedchat

EdTecHakk Sep 28 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@EScottEngland Maryland spends way more per pupil than Utah, but it’s on tech and text books that sit in closets. #utedchat

michelle_zey Sep 28 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@MikelleGordon Totally valid point! PD that is forced to fit ends up about like Cinderella's step-sisters and that glass slipper.. #utedchat

ronaldfisher Sep 28 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@MikelleGordon @covili - usually district sponsored, no problems w/ @UENpd and #utedchat I always learn something new and useful. #tlap

tpyfer Sep 28 @ 11:54 PM EDT

Question 6 coming up in 1 minute… #UTedChat

EdTecHakk Sep 28 @ 11:54 PM EDT

@pamturley55 I’m 100% convinced you’re a jedi. #utedchat

SummertimeTech Sep 28 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A5: it's all about time. Time to collaborate, time for PD, time to reflect and see colleagues teaching and time to teach... #utedchat

tusz11 Sep 28 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A5 I think more trust in our educators. We are being told what to do instead of being asked for our ideas. #utedchat

missplott Sep 28 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A5: legislators passing education laws that take away from innovative teaching time #truth #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A5 The biggest barrier is time & having SO much already on the plates of teachers. Overloaded teachers don't always innovate. #UTedChat

Utah_teacher Sep 28 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A5 Time. Time with each student (=class size) (So, yeah, money.) #UTedChat

ronaldfisher Sep 28 @ 11:54 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk @EScottEngland need a frowny face instead of a heart for that one, #utedchat

Q6 What message would you give to policy makers about teacher-led innovation? #UTedChat #utpol #uted #utleg

EdTecHakk Sep 28 @ 11:55 PM EDT

@EScottEngland That sounds like a problem outside my pay grade. And a nightmare. #utedchat

westlakepotter Sep 28 @ 11:55 PM EDT

Yes, @tusz11! Clear, two-way communication with teachers is a must--better yet, asking frequent feedback & ideas from students #utedchat

EdTecHakk Sep 28 @ 11:55 PM EDT

@lars3eb Ok dad. #utedchat #busted

marcihouseman Sep 28 @ 11:55 PM EDT

@FarrBfarr @tusz11 Yes! And the power of YET...as in I don't understand this YET...what do I need to do in order to understand it? #utedchat

staceymcginnis5 Sep 28 @ 11:56 PM EDT

Teachers need time to attend conferences and principals need to make sure staff attends. This is where the magic happens! #UTedChat #utpol

missplott Sep 28 @ 11:56 PM EDT

A5 cntd: lack of time, money, parental support, XL classes, not enough PD/prep, I could go on and on. Just let me teach! #utedchat

dtibbittsUT Sep 28 @ 11:56 PM EDT

A5 to echo what others have said, we need more good quality, useful PD as well as collaboration opportunities & TIME! #utedchat

A6: Ts are the people who spend THE MOST time with your children. They need your support and trust to be effective professionals #utedchat

EScottEngland Sep 28 @ 11:56 PM EDT

A6: I don't want to deliver a message. I want to deliver an invite. Come watch what we do. Better yet, come try to do it! #utedchat

myles8383 Sep 28 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A6: Message would be to go to local schools and see all the wonderful things going on already before making new policies. #utedchat

ronaldfisher Sep 28 @ 11:57 PM EDT

I didn't know it was moderated by @tpyfer - tell the big wigs I get more from #utedchat than I get from $ spent, spend it on the kids.

covili - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:57 PM EDT

What a great conversation! Thanks @tpyfer for helping us innovate. Next week @EdTecHakk help us pull our apps out for learning. #utedchat

tpyfer Sep 28 @ 11:57 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk In my Assistive Tech class we called that "device-driven strategy". Pick technology first & try to make students fit #utedchat

tusz11 Sep 28 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A6 @tpyfer Come into our classrooms and observe more often. Really observe. Preferably without a camera and media in tow. #utedchat

BaggaleyMr Sep 28 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A6 Teachers are the heart of education! We are asked to let kids explore and share what they know... Let the teachers do the same! #utedchat

mscraftynerd Sep 28 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A6: Give teachers back control! Not parents, not district- teachers! #utedchat #utpol #utleg #uted

qhenderson Sep 28 @ 11:57 PM EDT

Q6: If teachers feel valued they will innovate more. Give them support, recognize them, remove the obstacles, simplify. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:58 PM EDT

@misterlarsen It's because you were so busy with all the #DTLUtah Boot Camp stuff today. Welcome aboard anyways. #UTedChat

ronaldfisher Sep 28 @ 11:58 PM EDT

A6 - my message to policy makers, step back off the stage and watch us innovate in the classroom! #utedchat

westlakepotter Sep 28 @ 11:58 PM EDT

A6: Innovation can better happen when assessment is comprehensive, not just test data: https://t.co/kY9GcyuSfb #utedchat @tpyfer

FarrBfarr Sep 28 @ 11:58 PM EDT

@marcihouseman @tusz11 Amen! #UTedChat https://t.co/95nzZg361J

MikelleGordon Sep 28 @ 11:58 PM EDT

A6 trust teachers to be professionals and do what they know how to do best. Let us innovate. Give resources to be able to #utedchat

pamturley55 Sep 28 @ 11:59 PM EDT

A5 Trickle down innovation doesn't result in passion-driven teaching. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Sep 28 @ 11:59 PM EDT

A6 - Listen, learn, and then lead #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Sep 28 @ 11:59 PM EDT

Teachers would LOVE to get recognized by the office of @GovHerbert! That'd be awesome! #UTedChat #utpol #uted https://t.co/hg2L9HID3K

staceymcginnis5 Sep 28 @ 11:58 PM EDT

@tpyfer @lars3eb @ucet Yes!! Imagine the thrill of an unrecognized school getting praise from your office! Teachers need it.#utpol

EScottEngland Sep 28 @ 11:59 PM EDT

@MikelleGordon Yes!! Why are educators not treated as professionals? We have a lot of combined schooling under one roof. #utedchat
