    Here's an icebreaker if you'd like: What do you know about @ISTE? Your answer may be anywhere from "What's ISTE?" to "I submitted a proposal this week for #ISTE19 just before the deadline in the middle of the night." (We don't know anyone like that.) #nt2t

  • WSWHEBocesMS Sep 29 @ 9:06 AM EDT
    A1: We need to teach our students to examine and explore online just like we do book walks in our classrooms. For older kids, we need to model and allow time for them to try in a safe environment. #NT2T
  • MsCSLow Sep 29 @ 9:06 AM EDT

    A1: We can help our students be empowered by giving them a digital literacy toolkit that will help them know how to handle ANY online situation. I am a huge fan of @joinbubble for elementary because it teaches proper online behavior and citizenship #nt2t #Nt2T

  • shyj - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:11 AM EDT
    A1: Just the word "empower" means "give (someone) the authority or power to do something." Start by giving kids permission to be curious and question. No tools needed for that, but things like Padlet are great for getting questions documented. #NT2t
  • MsCSLow Sep 29 @ 9:11 AM EDT
    A1: most important thing I do when planning lessons is remind myself that I will always underestimate my Ss ability to own their learning. Then I plan for them to be in charge of more than I think is realistic. #nt2t
  • Chemteach201 Sep 29 @ 9:11 AM EDT
    A1 First and foremost we give s’s opportunities to learn and explore in subjects/areas where they have interest. Leveraging the internet and community people/knowledge/platforms is key! #nt2t

  • NancyWTech Sep 29 @ 9:13 AM EDT
    A1 Getting students to take charge of their learning and set their own learning goals can be challenging for teachers. It requires relinquishing control and giving more autonomy for the Ss. Can be very uncomfortable for teachers! #nt2t

    A1: i think one thing that we can do to help empower our students is to give them choice, and we can do that by providing them with choices in online tools that will enhance their education. I’ve seen a lot of @Flocabulary and other tools like this used my internship class #nT2t

    A1 help students feel empowered as learners by providing them with multiple ways to showcase their learning. Not all students learn the same why would they showcase their learning in the same way? #nt2t

    Q2) Being a DIGITAL CITIZEN is an important part of all online communication. What is an effective way to help students understand what that means? #nt2t
  • camattack97 Sep 29 @ 9:16 AM EDT
    A1: Letting students have the freedom to explore the online world. Programs like Google Apps/ Classroom gives students that freedom and independence, but also lets use as educators monitor their behavior. #nt2t
  • shyj - Moderator Sep 29 @ 9:16 AM EDT
    A1: For young learners, I think you need to help them understand "how" to learn first; how to frame questions, how to observe, how to look for connections, and make sure they understand it's okay to be curious and ask questions about everything (like a 2 year old) #NT2t
  • MsCSLow Sep 29 @ 9:16 AM EDT
    Starting by giving them too much is the best! My favorite thing to say is “I’m here. You’re not alone, so when you reach the point of needing help, let me know! I just want to see what you can do without me.” #nt2t

    Which is tricky because that can really mess with your lesson "plans" and curriculum mapping. Key is to see how their curiosities and interests fit into the curric, not the other way around. #NT2t

    A2: Students need to learn how to be a good citizen in any situation. These are skills we work on in our classrooms all the time. It should be no different online. We just have to model and show students how. @joinbubble #nt2t
  • mrstfrazier Sep 29 @ 9:19 AM EDT
    A2 helping students see the value and reach of technology will help them on their pathway of becoming good digital citizens. I don’t feel this is something that is covered in 1 lesson, 1 semester, or even 1 year. This is a life long lesson and commitment #nt2t

    A2: I like to do digital citizenship mini-lessons where I let Ss have conversation in a controlled online environment (like google classroom), then have them stand in front of the classroom and read the conversation out loud to each other in front of everyone. #nt2t
  • JeremyDBond Sep 29 @ 9:20 AM EDT
    A2) Model digital citizenship by being open with tech in the classroom but oversee and guide them along the way. One of the ways NOT to help them understand is to ban and avoid tech. #DigCit #DigCitSummit #nt2t

  • MsCSLow Sep 29 @ 9:24 AM EDT
    YES! Don’t force a format unless you specifically need to assess the format itself. (Ex: essay) otherwisethe format doesn’t matter but can intimidate Ss into thinking they can’t...when in fact they CAN when given freedom to show you through their eyes. #nt2t
    In reply to @shyj, @mrstfrazier
  • mrstfrazier Sep 29 @ 9:25 AM EDT
    Started my yr with lessons on what/when/how of some basic tech skills. Want them to see the value in the tool & also know the expectations. Started with this instead of with don’t do this & don’t do that. Show the value of the tool not potential problems with the tool #nt2t

    A3 Give them access to quality resources in their school libraries. Give them access to a professional librarian that can help them on their knowledge quest. Stop expecting the to find it all on the internet or through the teacher. Help them to become independent #Nt2T
  • smilelearning Sep 29 @ 9:26 AM EDT

      Absolutely. All you can do is talk about the impact on yourself they really have to do this journey because they are interested and want to know more. Not because they have been told to. #nt2t

    A6: Please do NOT throw kids into any social media tool before you have discussed and practiced what it means to be a dig citizen. Those skills are a must before they start interacting with others in platforms like @joinbubble #NT2t

    A6: Global Opportunities for our students can be #MysterySkype #GlobalKahoot @joinbubble Have an expert or an author skype into your classroom. Join online global outreach programs. Connect with another classroom on projects. The list goes on and on! #nt2t

    Agree! Just having your students have a writers notebook is a great way for them to start writing and maybe even fall in love with writing #nt2t

    A6 There are so many ways. Google Hangout (mystery hangout, monster hangout, number hangout) or Skype, Padlet and Flipgrid can open the door to wonderful learning. I have watched amazing things happen in a connected classroom. #nt2t

    Yes! We should check the SAMR model and ask if we are using technology to just transform, or to enhance. #Nt2T

    A5: I think helping students to be creative communicators includes both the use of technology but also skills taught in person. Just like anything it is a balance. #nt2t

      YES! Each week I call out Great Mistakes and reward the students that made them. The class cheers and we discuss how they fixed them or learned from them. It’s awesome and shows wwe have a safe space to fumble and fall without negative judgment. #nt2t

    Do, reflect, tweak! The key is not to assume something doesn't fit. Sometimes you don't know till you try. #nt2t

      Great question! I’d say you hit the nail on the head: trial and error. I make notes for next year, or even next period (ex. this brainstorming session should have taken place at their pods, no computers. Or this could have been a paper and pencil activity instead of digital)

  • MsCSLow Sep 29 @ 9:52 AM EDT
    A6: your classroom is only as small as you make it. We have too much technology to not invite the world in and share with it. Zoom, Skype, google Hangouts, e-mail, pen pals, PLNs...reminder: if you’re not a global learner, you won’t know how to teach it to them. #nt2t

    I know some teachers who have kids share their answers and the task is to find the "best mistake" a student had and figure out their thinking behind their answer. #NT2t

    A6 show Ss how to be global collaborators by at 1st making connections 4 them through mystery chats & online field trips. Have them create their own web sites to showcase their work to a larger audience & show them the power of the connections you have made #nt2t
  • camattack97 Sep 29 @ 9:53 AM EDT
    A5: It depends on the tools we us and what goals we are setting for our student. We want to teach those skills but set the propose to what we our student will takeaway from it. Also, just because the technology is there does not mean we have to throw it at our students. #nt2t

      Tech IS a tool. We have to stop thinking of it as something different. It's not a babysitter, a distractor, or a gaming device in the classroom. It's the noun that matters...tool. We have to use it for expanding our learning, empowering students to want to learn. #Nt2T

    Part of the modeling of digital citizenship and digital literacy is the learning itself. In other words, if you're still learning what you're modeling, you're modeling learning! #DigCit #nt2t
    • smilelearning Sep 29 @ 9:29 AM EDT
      Because it’s all new territory for all of us. We don’t know how to model and what is ok and what is not. We were not taught in a globally connected classroom. #nt2t

      I love this idea!! Growing up I always wanted to know the why, "why are we doing this?" I was constantly thinking to myself what am I going to get out of learning this. Showing your students the value of any lesson or skill can go along way #nt2t
      • mrstfrazier Sep 29 @ 9:25 AM EDT
        Started my yr with lessons on what/when/how of some basic tech skills. Want them to see the value in the tool & also know the expectations. Started with this instead of with don’t do this & don’t do that. Show the value of the tool not potential problems with the tool #nt2t

    👇👇👇 Tech needs connection and purpose! Intentionality. #nt2t
    • mrstfrazier Sep 29 @ 9:49 AM EDT
      A5 technology needs to stop being talked of as a separate entity to learning.They go hand in hand. To be creative communicators Ss need to see the connection of what they are doing to how they will communicate their goal. If thought of as separate there is no carry over #nt2t
