krismmcdonald Feb 16 @ 9:20 PM EST

trudy_fern Feb 16 @ 9:24 PM EST

techclara - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:30 PM EST

#pisdedchat A2 My 4yr old played Osmo and said "I'm teaching my little brother colors." They're growing up with tech https://t.co/zLw4AOhthr

techclara - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:31 PM EST

#pisdedchat A2 cont'd We play with crayons to learn colors, too. This is an enhancement bc the tech is a tool, not just a toy.

sew1080 Feb 16 @ 9:32 PM EST

Tech is like water...we can either teach them to swim or watch then drown. Start them early! #pisdedchat https://t.co/hCohEst1nx

.@TechKnowLeah No experience using @Schoology, but I am on their email list. Something to look into #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:34 PM EST

#pisdedchat A3: Students who do not have access to tech, or schools who do not have access. Teachers can work on getting tech grants.

Skaggslibrary Feb 16 @ 9:37 PM EST

A3: funding, perception & training @Skaggslibrary @SkaggsElem #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:38 PM EST

@sew1080 Awesome example, Sarah! I'll have to use that in a training. I'll copyright you. (C) :) #pisdedchat

matthew_arend Feb 16 @ 9:38 PM EST

Hello folks! Watching @CycloneMBB and checking out #pisdedchat

sew1080 Feb 16 @ 9:39 PM EST

A3 socioeconomic status is huge. We can't assume kids have what they need at home. Let kids use school devices before/after sch #pisdedchat

cheryllazarus Feb 16 @ 9:39 PM EST

Issues with access, whether at home or school. #pisdedchat

matthew_arend Feb 16 @ 9:40 PM EST

A3: we must educate folks in positions to address the equity gap and be advocates for those who may not advocate for themselves #pisdedchat

krismmcdonald Feb 16 @ 9:40 PM EST

A3: We tend to think low-income, but I see Ts limiting what students can do/use in the classroom. That creates inequity as well #pisdedchat

LanguageArtiste Feb 16 @ 9:40 PM EST

Q3 This is the elephant in the room. Our 100 year old edu system needs to join the 21st century. Until then Ts can fight for Ss. #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:40 PM EST

@matthew_arend @CycloneMBB Way to multi-task! #likeaboss #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:41 PM EST

Yes!I was in a school with "no phones" signs all around. How do those Ss compare to Ss in other schools? #pisdedchat https://t.co/JphshWTJve

krismmcdonald Feb 16 @ 9:40 PM EST

A3: We tend to think low-income, but I see Ts limiting what students can do/use in the classroom. That creates inequity as well #pisdedchat

matthew_arend Feb 16 @ 9:41 PM EST

A3: in the meantime we can leverage tools we have so we are not responsible for letting the equity gap widen #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:41 PM EST

Excellent point. #cultureshift #digitalequity #pisdedchat https://t.co/do4Rcpf7Nt

A3: Teacher's fear of tech can hold them back too. We need to keep encouraging them to be risk takers. #pisdedchat

just sayin @Skaggslibrary @SkaggsElem #pisdedchat https://t.co/eEmYjsPujb

sew1080 Feb 16 @ 9:45 PM EST

We know when to make an anchor chart & when to get Ss up and moving. We should also be just as quick to know what app would work #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:45 PM EST

Q4 Effective use of tech may require a #cultureshift to support Ts. How do you encourage Ts to be digitally literate? #pisdedchat
