ericcurts Jan 5 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3: Share Docs as links to publish Ss work online for a broader authentic audience #gafechat

@NSchwartzTech this takes the pressure off of the teacher to create study guides and builds student ownership. #gafechat

Kathryn_sims09 Jan 5 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3: Have students incorporate text features into their writing using the research/editing tools in Google docs. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jan 5 @ 9:25 PM EST

#gafechat will be archived ~ don’t worry if chat moves too fast. Check website after chat https://t.co/NvfwdltQty

A3: use #googledocs to use, implement, & hopefully create #hyperdocs https://t.co/GhQEyn84Pd #gafechat

SPFTech_Treglia Jan 5 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3 Is it silly to suggest that S create an ongoing doc of daily victories so they can review, improve and be proud? #gafechat

queendeaner Jan 5 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3: let Docs be their "makerspace" & just let Ss explore to spark curious\ty & test its limitations against their imagination #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jan 5 @ 9:25 PM EST

Great way to have students keep a running record of their learning. Great idea! #gafechat https://t.co/WeAoFHQMuq

LHower22 Jan 5 @ 9:26 PM EST

A3: Create hyperdoc's with links to assignment resources/polices. https://t.co/ufxCYazK6Y #gafechat

A4: I need help with this one. Can’t wait to get ideas. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jan 5 @ 9:28 PM EST

@JChanter22 I LOVE #hyperdocs - I have incorporated them in the online learning I started for teachers. #gafechat

kylefcs Jan 5 @ 9:29 PM EST

LHower22 Jan 5 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4: Ss work can be captured & shared with future employers; scholarships and parents. #gafechat

ericcurts Jan 5 @ 9:29 PM EST

A4: Drive works great with folders, customizable permissions, searching, and unlimited storage #gafechat

MonicaHittinger Jan 5 @ 9:29 PM EST

@curious4ans drive is so easy for lit circles but so under utilized in this way! #gafechat

KaizenaHQ Jan 5 @ 9:29 PM EST

@ericcurts Very creative technique, Eric! Love this idea #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jan 5 @ 9:30 PM EST

A4 I would just use Google Drive. I think with it being free and unlimited, it's the best. Teach them organization techniques #gafechat

queendeaner Jan 5 @ 9:30 PM EST

@NSchwartzTech organization is key! Like a real binder and digital binder must be organized #gafechat

mbswoods Jan 5 @ 9:31 PM EST

A4 At a loss here. But Drive is the easiest for a new user #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jan 5 @ 9:31 PM EST

@queendeaner It's one of the biggest T complaints, the Ss Drive and files. But we have to teach them HOW to organize! #gafechat

JChanter22 Jan 5 @ 9:31 PM EST

A4: @googledrive keep Organized folders,use colors &maintain order by practicing good habits - naming conventions & deleting junk #gafechat

itechbob Jan 5 @ 9:31 PM EST

A4 - use site maestro to setup Google site for each student in a template format. Maybe more of a portfolio though... #gafechat

curious4ans Jan 5 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4: have Ss make a digital portfolio/google site with a folder to their drive #GAFEchat Ss could link to each other...

ericcurts Jan 5 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4: Ts can help Ss by not using paper in the first place. Make your assignments and resources digital #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jan 5 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4 Maybe @LiveBinders could be an option, too? #gafechat

1misspatterson Jan 5 @ 9:32 PM EST

A4 I agree that Drive is best! Making folders are like digital "binder tabs" that students can organize their work in #gafechat

tntechgal Jan 5 @ 9:33 PM EST

A4: start a Ss GSite & they highlight mastery work & add subject folders for organization #gafechat https://t.co/9j950ulQQx

LISDTechie - Moderator Jan 5 @ 9:33 PM EST

@NSchwartzTech I struggle with keeping my Drive organized b/c I can't remember where I put things. I just use the search feature. #gafechat

MonicaHittinger Jan 5 @ 9:33 PM EST

A4: set up/share folders the right way so files are automatically shared w/ teacher all year. Create rubric for drive organization #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jan 5 @ 9:33 PM EST

@LISDTechie Me too! But that's what it's there for! #gafechat

A5 Think outside the box with assignments. Let Ss create their final products, put guidelines online in GClassroom! #gafechat

mbswoods Jan 5 @ 9:35 PM EST

A5:GAFE and Tons of tools to help...Kahoot, quizizz, zaption. BUT...Remember to focus on the learning not the tools #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jan 5 @ 9:35 PM EST

@mbswoods Yep, don't let tech just be the sprinkles on your cupcake, as I like to say! #gafechat

kylefcs Jan 5 @ 9:35 PM EST

a5: don't upload old pdfs or scanned worksheets for students to fill out. create inquiry based questions that make students think #gafechat

A5: Make sure Ss know how to create new files in Classroom assignments so they get automatically shared with Ts and organized #gafechat

queendeaner Jan 5 @ 9:36 PM EST

A5:Paperless means the T has to really differentiate the work. Creative ways to show learning without "worksheet" is vital #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jan 5 @ 9:36 PM EST

@mbswoods @MonicaHittinger Me too. Do you have a rubric you can share? I would love to see what it looks like. #gafechat

itechbob Jan 5 @ 9:36 PM EST

@itechbob So all Ss have write access to the Doc? Does it ever get “overtrafficed?” Needs constant monitoring? #GAFEchat

mbswoods Jan 5 @ 9:37 PM EST

@kylefcs its not just about paperless...its about the wall-less classroom #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jan 5 @ 9:37 PM EST

@kylefcs Yes! Paperless doesn't just mean creating a digital copy of paper. It means creating meaningful learning opps for Ss! #gafechat

KatieJMcNamara Jan 5 @ 9:37 PM EST

A5-End worksheets. If a 5 year old can grade it with an answer key, toss it. Value Ss minds. #gafechat

mbswoods Jan 5 @ 9:38 PM EST

@queendeaner sometimes hard for Ts, but they learn and grow so much then they take those steps #gafechat

kylefcs Jan 5 @ 9:38 PM EST

@NSchwartzTech that's what most of our Ts did since we use Notability on the ipads. #gafechat

@LISDTechie @mbswoods Nope! Just came up with the idea during chat! But may create one soon. PLN =new ideas #gafechat

itechbob Jan 5 @ 9:39 PM EST

@tkraz it could be over trafficked but maybe the teacher works it in as a formative assessment that they monitor. #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jan 5 @ 9:40 PM EST

@MonicaHittinger Then share it after you are done! LOL! #gafechat

@SPFTech_Treglia we are 1:1 ipad. still a ton of paper being used by Ts. mostly because they ask Ss to hand in gdocs as paper #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jan 5 @ 9:40 PM EST

@itechbob But thankfully there is a revision history. Also, you can have 2 Ss per class period responsible for notes that day #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jan 5 @ 9:40 PM EST

@kylefcs @SPFTech_Treglia It pains me when I hear that Ts have Ss create something online and still require it is printed. #gafechat

tkraz Jan 5 @ 9:41 PM EST

@itechbob I've thought about doing this and maybe have Ss rotate turns to update. #gafechat

kylefcs Jan 5 @ 9:41 PM EST

@LISDTechie @SPFTech_Treglia it stings! don't make the Ss print it. YOU print it if you want paper. #gafechat

LISDTechie - Moderator Jan 5 @ 9:42 PM EST

A6: Have students answer a question as an exit ticket and use the answers to guide small group instruction for next day. #gafechat

@kylefcs @SPFTech_Treglia OMG...what is the point of digital if we are still printing!! UGH!! (i will get off the soap box now) #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jan 5 @ 9:42 PM EST

@tkraz @itechbob YES! Have 2 students take notes. 1 main notetaker, 1 checker, and then switch up the next class times. #gafechat

@mbswoods @SPFTech_Treglia my soapbox is as flat as a sheet of paper. #gafechat

A6: haven't used questions much so looking froward to the ideas #gafechat

@NSchwartzTech @itechbob Ok. If I have 3 of the same classes each day, do I have a separate one for each class? #gafechat

mbswoods Jan 5 @ 9:44 PM EST

@kylefcs @SPFTech_Treglia I may have to use that next time i have to step up on to mine! #gafechat

itechbob Jan 5 @ 9:44 PM EST

@tkraz I think it definitely needs some sort of structure but that decision should be the teachers. They know their Ss best. #gafechat

ericcurts Jan 5 @ 9:44 PM EST

@mbswoods @kylefcs @SPFTech_Treglia See my feelings on printing here https://t.co/Fwoso0Ity3 #gafechat

NSchwartzTech Jan 5 @ 9:44 PM EST

@tkraz I would. You cover diff things in each class, but you could share them all with each class in the end. #gafechat

kylefcs Jan 5 @ 9:44 PM EST

@JChanter22 @LISDTechie @SPFTech_Treglia if we bought more printers, i would be carried around campus on people's shoulders #gafechat
