@jrsowash #gafechat None broken in 4 years, only 2 hardrives failed. Ss learn how to take them out of cart, set up, put away carefully.

teenytinytechie Nov 1 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@jrsowash @AmesAngels I love mine - but only the K-2 Ts got one for their personal use. So much easier than track pad for Ks #gafechat

jrsowash Nov 1 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@MistaB10 Sounds like you could use a couple more carts! Access (or lack thereof) is a problem I hear a lot. #gafechat

JChanter22 Nov 1 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: we are 3:1. We have carts of 40 spread throughout our gr2-5 halls. The k-1 primarily use iPads. It's getting tough to share! #gafechat

teenytinytechie Nov 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2 initially it was a lot more modeling, but now Ss act as teachers, there is more collaboration and inquiry #gafechat

sew1080 Nov 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2 Ss can collaborate, communicate, create, research, publish, etc without having to go to a computer lab #gafechat

jrsowash Nov 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Q2 is super important. Chromebooks are just devices. It is up to US to use them creatively. #gafechat

tcbnugent Nov 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

LISDTechie - Moderator Nov 1 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@JChanter22 Our elementary schools are around 3:1 too, with Chromebooks, Macbook Air Minis, and iPads. I think they need more. #gafechat

MsHkKim Nov 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: And I love all the formative assessment tech tools we can use! #gafechat

mbswoods Nov 1 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A3: letting kids explore at times, bookmark or google keep for later. keeping my content engaging helps a lot too. #gafechat

csstone1161 Nov 1 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 I don't get a LOT of off task (music mostly, I let them have that) but we have had issues with hacking and changing languages...#gafechat

sew1080 Nov 1 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@jrsowash I'm intrigued. Our logins are ridiculous, especially for the littles. #gafechat

jrsowash Nov 1 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: I think we can relax a little bit regarding student activity on devices. As long as work gets done, let them go. #gafechat

teenytinytechie Nov 1 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@LISDTechie I see more problems with using tech as reward. Drives me crazy. #gafechat

@sew1080 #gafechat also creates +rosters accounts that are synced- no more uploading csvs to each independent account. Push button + done!

jrsowash Nov 1 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: Engagement is also key. If we are lousy teachers students will go off-task. Make sure they are engaged! #gafechat

teenytinytechie Nov 1 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@PattyPaxton2 @jrsowash the benefit to LanSchool is more that we can push out sites and materials to all Ss (helpful for K Ss!) #gafechat

@jrsowash I loved snagit.. Have the software on my PC. Like Alice Keeler's screencapture, not full featured yet #gafechat

jrsowash Nov 1 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@JChanter22 for screencasting I use Screencastify. For screenshots I'm just using Chrome's native capture shortcut. #gafechat

csstone1161 Nov 1 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A5 haven't used one... not sure it would be that big a deal tho #gafechat

PattyPaxton2 Nov 1 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@sew1080 #gafechat Clever, Ss click a blue button, scan a QR code, this logs them into the Chromebook, Google Drive, and Clever!!

@bluebutterflysm Great list of assistive tech. extensions. #gafechat

PattyPaxton2 Nov 1 @ 9:36 PM EDT

a5 #gafechat I like them, but Ss test in the library on PC that requires mouse. Hence, touchscreen would make it tough to get Ss 2 use mouse

mbswoods Nov 1 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5: My personal is touchscreen, and it is so handy. Schools are non touch, and its funny to watch Ss try to use it as touch! #gafechat

MsHkKim Nov 1 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@jrsowash So I had an issue with using this extension with touchscreen Chromebooks. Have you tried it with touchscreen CB? #gafechat

bluebutterflysm Nov 1 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A5: OK but pricey. #gafechat

jrsowash Nov 1 @ 9:36 PM EDT

A4: Anyone using Google Tone? Fun, but don't see many ts using it in the classroom. #gafechat

teenytinytechie Nov 1 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@MsHkKim Yes. I'm on a touch Pixel right now. Works great. #gafechat

KatieJMcNamara Nov 1 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@sew1080 @jrsowash now if only I could get it to work with my petmoji too! #gafechat

A4: Anyone using Google Tone? Fun, but don't see many ts using it in the classroom. #gafechat

Yes, I agree. As more touch devices are available, more apps will take advantage. #gafechat https://t.co/TmMNA10ZKz

PattyPaxton2 Nov 1 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@AmesAngels #gafechat I teach mouse first, then trackpad, then they get to pick :)

KatieJMcNamara Nov 1 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@teenytinytechie @sew1080 @jrsowash perhaps badging? #gafechat

jrsowash Nov 1 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Also helpful for creative projects; opens up new creative opportunities, not just images and simple line drawing. #gafechat

mbswoods Nov 1 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: My issue is Drawing tools on CB don't really work with the touch...not sure why. #gafechat

AmesAngels Nov 1 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5 Touchscreens make it easier for Ss with OT issues, hand eye coordination, faster to navigate #gafechat

bcdtech Nov 1 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@bluebutterflysm Same here- did not work well for us. #gafechat

kelseykimpton Nov 1 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5 would be great for drawing tools in @Classkick and @Seesaw, but my 2graders are learning so many tech skills without touch CBs. #gafechat

dannambruns Nov 1 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@jrsowash never had better than 50 % accuracy when I tested it. #gafechat

jrsowash Nov 1 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@PattyPaxton2 Tone can take a URL and translate it into sound (not a joke). Any device with the tone extension will prompt site. #gafechat

teenytinytechie Nov 1 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@PattyPaxton2 @AmesAngels we only have 1 class set of mice :( #gafechat

dannambruns Nov 1 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5: what about device longevity and durability? #gafechat

PattyPaxton2 Nov 1 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@jrsowash #gafechat what is advantage of using Tone? Not seeing a classroom application unless perhaps with blind or sight impaired?

JChanter22 Nov 1 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@jrsowash it was very inconsistent when we tried it last year. We quit. 😾 #gafechat

@jrsowash @kyleupenn I don't think of apps as anything special- just a link for the most part. Extensions make the dif for me. #gafechat

kyleupenn Nov 1 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@bcdtech Extensions aren't going anywhere as far as I can tell. They are too useful to get rid off without a new technology option #gafechat

tcbnugent Nov 1 @ 9:46 PM EDT

The Pixel Phone just might help with that! Husband is waiting for his! #gafechat https://t.co/QmhfklYYyO

kyleupenn Nov 1 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@jrsowash @bcdtech Right. Google is pushing developers toward Android apps #gafechat

jrsowash Nov 1 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@bcdtech @kyleupenn Depends. Some Chrome Apps (the offline ones) are true "hosted Apps" more like Android. #gafechat

AnibalPachecoIT Nov 1 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Google is phasing out Chrome apps except on Chrome OS, will no longer work by 2018 https://t.co/MbknsVekao #gafechat

I interviewed Cyrus Mistry (head of Chrome for EDU) yesterday and he said to expect more AI integration on Chrome. #gafechat

@jrsowash @bcdtech some of the Android apps I've tried on the Chromebook still need a little work. #gafechat

💬 Last one! Q7: What advice would you give to a teaching just getting started with Chromebooks? #gafechat 💬

jrsowash Nov 1 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@kyleupenn @bcdtech Yep. I think that is mostly on the developers. They need to optimize for ChromeOS. #gafechat

kyleupenn Nov 1 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@MistaB10 @tcbnugent @jrsowash @bcdtech I have mine! It's great! #gafechat
