I love to use https://t.co/S7WkklsJvR as my go to anything! You can have timers, voice control, Qr codes, notes to the class, etc all on one screen. Best thing ever to use to make transitions and instruction even better. #risdchat#mesqchat

A1: When I was in the classroom I loved using Google Forms for our daily warm ups. Forms allowed my students to gain immediate feedback and it allowed me to formatively assess my students and adjust my instruction for the day. #mesqchat#risdchat
A1: Save and schedule drafts for all of your #GoogleClassroom assignments and warm-up ?s Agra’s of time. Then you’re not scrambling and can be ready to adapt for changes in plans #mesqchat#risdchat
Google Keep saves me time because I don’t have to find pencil and paper to write something down, or spend time later trying to find where in the world I put the paper! 😂 #mesqchat#risdchat
A1: My favorite time saving tip is to assess as students are working and in the moment instead of collecting work to grade at home or after hours. Short conferences with students or grading on screen saves time and allows for instant feedback & correction. #mesqchat#risdchat

#mesqchat#risd My favorite time saving tip is Google forms-Leadership planning, agendas, and meeting collaboration can be created, edited, and used for future work simultaneously!!

A2: Flipgrid is my favorite tool for videoing a collaborative discussion. I would give them props to add into their videos. That helped take the focus off them and allow them to open up and talk about their learning! #mesqchat#risdchat
My partner @CroachRoach use this to stay on top of what needs to be done or followed up on with our schools ( we have 6 so this is really helpful) #risdchat#mesqchat

A2: Asking open ended questions and use the phrase, "What do you think.." a lot. There is no danger of getting it wrong if I am just sharing my thoughts. #mesqchat#risdchat

A2: google docs is fun, I do another activity called tabletop twitter, which I find is fantastic to get into the brains of those students while analyzing anything! #mesqchat#risdchat
A2 being letting students inquire about their learning and by making it relevant. Students then want to talk and show what they know. #risdchat#mesqchat
A2: I encourage students to show what they know however they would like utilizing different learning styles. @Seesaw is a great resource for me as well as chrome extensions on chromebooks #mesqchat#risdchat
A2 - I’m going to have to go with my personal fave @seesaw on this one! Helped a 2nd grade class get started with @seesaw this week, and I love hearing them explain their thinking in the videos they make. I’m pretty sure they all think they are YouTube stars! #mesqchat#risdchat
A1: Investing time in teaching students to be independent users of the library so they can come in at point of need to get books! #mesqchat#risdchat#gallowaygreatness
A2: Allow for both verbal & non verbal discussions. Vary the platform - some kids enjoy class discussion, some will share more digitally and some will share more via video. Most importantly though - give them something relevant to their life worth discussing! #mesqchat#risdchat
A2: I loved to have bellringers with an interesting historical photo. The students would do a quick write of what they think is happening or happened. We would discuss their observations as a class. #risdchat#mesqchat
A2: My favorite way to get kids talking is to pose would you rather questions that everyone can answer. Like, “Would you rather eat tacos or Fletchers corn dogs forever? Anyone? #mesqchat#risdchat
A2: Have to say @Seesaw in the power the student hold to show their learning and the sharing piece. Parents love seeing inside the classroom too. #risdchat#mesqchat
A2: If I were in the classroom, if would lean towards flipgrid. It would allow for Ss to post a thought to a prompt & a rebuttal to a response. This could also be followed up with a writing piece to reflect. #mesqchat#risdchat
A2: Reading students books that are engaging and fosters personal connections! Students love to share connections to books. #risdchat#mesqchat#gallowaygreatness
A2: give them a chance to talk about what was hard for them and how they overcame it. It gives them a voice and gives them a way to celebrate their achievements. #risdchat#mesqchat

A3: In Algebra 1, practice is critical, but not always fun. I use wipe off boards to quickly assess, and provide immediate feedback, to every student in class. The kids love it, and it allows us to practice enough to void a homework assignment. #risdchat#mesqchat
A3: anything with technology is always my go to for engaging students quickly. My fav right now is gonoodle questions. I can create my own questions #mesqchat#risdchat
A1: My favorite time saving tip is pretty much all things Google... Drive makes everything available immediately, so I don't have to search a million places! #mesqchat#risdchat
#risdchat#mesqchat A3: I love watching student and adult learners use Kahoot. The competitive energy and discussion opportunities are great, if the game is paused for discourse.
A3: Using the slow motion video feature on my I-phone to capture a ball bouncing, then having the kids write a quadratic equation for it, was an awesome engagement activity. #risdchat#mesqchat
Q2 turn and talk is a great way to get first graders talking about their learning. Flipgrid is an outstanding tool as well! #mesqchat#risdchat#gallowaygreatness
A4: @Desmos drastically changed my instruction. Ss have the opportunity to EXPERIENCE math! If you haven’t already, check out https://t.co/DUOphjfysx to see all the activities they have created! #mesqchat#risdchat
A4 Have a system in place. Have devices numbered for each student. Put routines, procedures and expectations in place for the devices. Save a lot of headache when you have a great system in place. #risdchat#mesqchat
Q4: Tips: Practice the tech before doing it with your kids for the first time! Try the tech at least twice. Be ready to be uncomfortable... you'll be okay. #mesqchat#risdchat
A3: Reading picture books to start new concepts no matter the age! When we began geometry with circles we read Sir Cumference and the First Round Table. I started coding with prek and read Chicken Clicking! There are endless possibilities! #mesqchat#risdchat
VR goggles can turn any lesson in to a field trip without leaving the classroom! Plus the kids get really excited! #mesqchat#risdchat#gallowaygreatness
A4: I couldn’t get through a day of teaching without @ClassDojo, the TEKS app, Google classroom & all its features.@plickers is my go to whole group assessment analysis. #mesqchat#risdchat
A2: We always start our week with an informal discussion about our weekend. Ss are always excited to share. It has helped many of my ss transfer their listening and speaking skills to an academic platform. We also love using Seesaw for talking/discussing! #mesqchat#risdchat
A2: the Ss are loving a version of Lead4wards dance freeze chat. They dance around the room to our favorite science songs then have to freeze and discuss the question with the student closest to them. #engagement#mesqchat#risdchat#gallowaygreatness
A4: Currently @seesaw but obviously Google changed the face of education with Google Apps. And of course @twitter has revolutionized what a PLN looks like! #mesqchat#risdchat

A4: ##risd#mesqchat The empowerment of our prek-2nd grade students with the use of Seesaw and Flipgrid to communicate and assess their own learning have been amazing. Thanks @CurtsMeg#Smithleopards
A4: Use Vocaroo to audio record a test, create a QR code, and copy paste to the test. Then kids with oral admin can stay in class and have services provided at their pace. #risdchat#mesqchat
A4: Currently @seesaw but obviously Google changed the face of education with Google Apps. And of course @twitter has revolutionized what a PLN looks like! #mesqchat#risdchat
I have to go with the man that changed my thinking towards education... @gcouros . Let students be the ones in charge of their learning! #risdchat#mesqchat
A4: Google Apps have changed everything for me! I still have so much more to learn about all the tips and tricks that you can do with the different apps. #risdchat#mesqchat
A5: #mtbos stands for the math-twitter blog-o-sphere. This is a great way to find awesome activities from math teachers across the world! Check out their website as well at https://t.co/XSk7ogpqr4. #mesqchat#risdchat
A5 - @gcouros and @pernilleripp are two of my faves. They speak the truth! And have to plug some ofour district hashtags! Also, I love using @nuzzel! Helps me find the best stuff on my Twitter feed. #mesqchat#risdchat
Thank you all for joining us tonight! What a great way to share ideas and collaborate! Special thanks to the @MISDiTech team, especially @Kbkpetty & @jstubbsEDU for the idea to collaborate. I appreciate the collaboration between our two districts! #risdchat#mesqchat
#ellchat#ellchat_BkClub are my favorites to learn from many of the best in the EL instructional world. I have learned so much and have been inspired by the wealth of knowledge of these wonderful people 🤗 #mesqchat#risdchat#toschpride
A2 In the middle of the lesson, I will throw out a question and they have Think pair share with someone not in their group. Then the volunteer their partner's response. It gives me insight to who is following along. #GallowayGreatness#mesqchat#mesq4th#risdchat
A5: My school's hashtag #smithleopards is great! They post ideas and activities going on around the campus daily. Its a great place to see the amazing things happening at an elementary! #risdchat#mesqchat
A3: sticky notes on the forehead, or over their eyes (to be pirates), or on their chins (Lincoln) and noses are elephants! They love it as they come in to quickly answer a question. Then songs and anything chrome book. #mesqchat#risdchat#gallowaygreatness
Currently my favorite hashtag to follow is #GRAamal because it connects my class with others that are reading the book we are #mesqchat#GallowayGreatness
