Brisbane digital technologies teacher and tech coach checking in
heya Nicola! Great to see you
Great to have you with us, how's baby? .
Hey MrC from Melbourne primary tchr with gd3/4s this year- nice to be joining in rather than post lurking :)
Wow, we've got the A Team on board tonight! .
look back at that year with good memories
Always value your viewpoints! .
Kia ora Joel, great you dropped by!
A1 Leading by example and bringing the great teaching moments to others like modelling great use of twitter
Fast asleep! So she’s great :D Thanks for asking!
Great to have you on board! .
Hi peeps. Melanie from the Waikato on 15% of phone battery.
A1 maybe modelling for other Ts. Did my first model last week for using Ozobots in maths. Awesome experience
Thank you! Quite late for me... But have been getting here for a few weeks now.
Hi Steph, hope you are going well this evening.
A1 . For me, it's about a team approach that is focusing on big issues for student futures!
A1 giving teachers the power to explore and learn through doing, asking and reflecting.
However in Auckland tonight. Attending Google boot camp with
pleased you could join us Scott
A1 AGILE. Let staff prototype new ideas and see what works. Move fast and break things. Celebrate failure.
The satisfaction from successfully getting her down is right up there with any I’ve got from teaching lol!
pleased you're joining as opposed to lurking!
A1. It looks like someone with enthusiasm for digital tools & is able to support tchrs at any point in their digital journey.
That's gold! Cherish your rests! .
A1 leading then letting others have the opportunity to try things, to be innovative,
4me innovative-ldrshp brings dig tech to life in new ways, it's context bound, each schl has it's own needs
Hello! Anne from Sydney here. New to the whole thing - looking to learn!
. Awesome response, Bryce! A1
Yes obviously letting others have the opportunity is a vital component of long term success
A1: Maximizing usage of existing tech resources. Implementing workflow seamlessly. Ensuring backup plans.
how do you do this? How do you know it's 'not working' or 'improving'?
A1 - being creative and thinking outside the square for new ways to work in teams to collaboratively solve problems
Jump on in! You're as equal as anyone. .
A1 Providing Ts with the opportunity to make mistakes in a safe, supportive enviro & creating reflective digitalpractitioners
A1 giving educators time for exploration and creativity
is now trending in New Zealand, ranking 3
Nice William, like the concept of having to let things go! . A1
A1 demonstrating how to find perfect balance of ICT in traditional lessons.
breaking things? Must be tested and continuous delivery (and security :P ).
do you have a process for that or is it more organic?
A1 Balance is the key isn't it? .
A1. Modelling. Often being one step ahead, but not always. Good to get others leading too.
A1: Showing that you can try new things & aren't afraid to fail. Encouraging others to do the same
A1 Always trying new things, and providing a supportive encouraging environment to help others do the same
A1: I would think that being careful about context, purpose. Choosing the right people to lead and listening to refusers?
Nice post Jangal. Resources can make or break leadership IMO. .
do you know what 'innovative' is - is there a shared understanding of that?
A1 finding way to make it safe to go outside comfort zones for tchrs and ensure they can find ways to incorporate into tching
how do you determine your SCH's needs?
Making things look easy, but learning too, perception is if I can't do it why would they try. Want to change this culture
Digital leaders remove barriers such as infrastructure, device, application issues& help coach teacher through + experiences
So important to give people permission to fail. Creates positive risk taking.
Nice post Troy, some times leaders forget about the power of mere encouragement! . A1
"Move fast and break things" is the old facebook motto. I think it's a good way to talk about innovation.
and it's difficult to maintain the integrity of both That's why good coaching is essential.
what does 'safe' look like?
A1. Leading learning by being a learner
Yes helping others leave their comfort zones is a biggie!
A1 and create an environment of learning so that it is constant and organic.
Yes, very true- risk taking so important.
how might you change that? ps hi Steph!
So true, that's why leading alongisde (coaching) can have dramatic effect over leading from the front. . A1
Yes - being a genuine learner yourself and acknowledging successes and failures https://t.co/anufzypmlR
Making things look easy, but learning too, perception is if I can't do it why would they try. Want to change this culture
yes i know it's from Facebook. Don't know how to feel about breaking things, especially production software.
I like this - so important to be clear about what is wanted and needed
Apart from making sure it fits into our school structure (and most things do) empower teachers to try new things.
Now for Q2. Great start everyone! What structures are needed to grow, foster innovative teacher prac… https://t.co/xDwSmmGCXW
Great adjectives Pip, welcome BTW! A1 .
I love that u have mentioned coaching - how's it used at your place? https://t.co/UoWj8AlvcJ
Digital leaders remove barriers such as infrastructure, device, application issues& help coach teacher through + experiences
Helping T view technology as a tool to enhance and redefine tasks rather than 'just the way' or using it for the sake of it
constant dept learning. Sharing practice constantly and saying when things have turned to custard. It's a process.
do all teachers feel comfortable in 'fail' mode? How might leaders help?
Nailed it Joel, without supporting structures in place, innovation can be maintained or shared IMO. .
I think wld say wat makes the learning better. Love that saying of only needing2compare urself 2urself
how do you ensure it's safe to 'break things'
I'm mostly talking about individual teachers driving change. There is very little they can truly "break".
The more varied and collective the better IMO. .
A2: Flexible teaching/assessment should be in school's DNA. Risk taking should be encouraged for all Ts.
A2: A support structure that lends teachers to look for new things and encourages shared learning
Hi steph. Not sure, make more mistakes slow steps towards success 4 staff 2 incr levels of conf. ? tips anyone?
Thanks. Nice to be here...I usually totally forget.
Good call, all teachers don't - at first. But creating a culture where trying new ideas is critical. Need support
I agree, I worry that training institutions are discouraging innovation! .
innovation is trying something in a new way, an original approach, ideas shared during and after change
There is very little, education wise that isn't safe to break. Just press buttons and try stuff!
Nice point Heather, can it be innovative if not shared? .
need to find a slide from presentation on new ideas :) -later
Can we break students' engagement if it doesn't work?
A2. Comes back to trust & relationships. You do best innovation when you are trusted & given space to experiment.
Agree - culture essential+ coaching and time to try + feedback https://t.co/OMH7iqjhfq
Good call, all teachers don't - at first. But creating a culture where trying new ideas is critical. Need support
A2. Time dedicated to exploring, trying, creating
A2 I agree, it's bizarre that each teacher has their learning space yet too often merely replicate others, .
Yep. Whenever stuff gets real everything bolls back to status quo. Pretty tragic since momentum is lost.
A2. Collaborative practice and de-privatised classrooms is the key. If nobody knows people are innovating, it can't spread.
Yes! A2 TIME is everything! .
Leaders help by providing opportunities to take time for innovation/risk. Being supportive & no pressure
what aboutTs who are reluctant risk takers how might we support them 2thrive with the uncertainty of innovation
Feedback - student, colleague, parent: all of it is needed to ensure that new ideas are good ideas
A2. Time set aside for support and lots of talking
A2 support from senior management to try new things. Ways to get ss and T voice on board for what works and what doesn't
A2. We need to allow Ts to work at their own pace if willing to make changes.
Great point, I'm trying to get time to work with my HODs on innovative pedagogy, slight struggle! .
The same way we do with Ss. Differentiate. Let them choose their weapon. Master it. Innovation is always long term.
A2 Time, support, trust, also opportunities for prof learning
im thinking that's part of the structure?
I have this worry! How might we change that! https://t.co/1NQSfEhlqC
I agree, I worry that training institutions are discouraging innovation! .
That's such an familiar pattern, this is when no-one wins! .
Agree! That is why I love team teaching.
It's possible & it happens. But the alternative is never trying anything new. Which would we prefer?
A2: buddy system needs based, regular opportunities 2 learn, current authentic opp. expectations 2 plan & teach authentically
A2 A coaching structure where u r a supporter facilitator & motivator I show possibilities & help teacher apply theirpedagogy
A2 Ban committees.. Even well meaning ones suck the life out of innovation.
Leaders should also be examples. Need to show their vulnerability to make risk taking okay
Yes! Yes and pretty much you guessed it - yes! https://t.co/H38u7JwVJ9
There is very little, education wise that isn't safe to break. Just press buttons and try stuff!
A2 same structures as what Ss need -allow time & space 2 move forward at own pace - scaffold when needed but always challenge
Institutions need to ask what students need now and going forward! .
Thanks for the follow Pip - great to connect with other educators thanks to and and
Take smaller steps- they are big steps for them.
Nice Nicola. In this respect, no-one gets left behind yet everyone grows. . A2
Haha. I know! The irony of a closed door discussion on open ended innovative methods. ^_^
Yes it is. Some of my favourite PD comes from connections online.
See if they're still laughing when they're no longer relevant in the learning process of tomorrow. .
allowing them to come onboard when they are ready, forcing does not encourage acceptance just resentment
A2: Coaching motivates staff to the point where they feel comfortable to explore their devices & create +itive learning
True! But my concern is growing frustration at poorly conceived innovation....
ahh time! Where might we find this 'time' - what are innovative ways to create time?
Here is Q3 for this edition of . How can innovative leadership in the digital space encourage teacher… https://t.co/jx8CxuGzZ9
I think back to the wikispace all those years ago and here we are! .
intro 2 seesaw tom
quick intro -buddy with experienced users 2 lead at pace of new learner-
system?
support for senior mngmnt/leadership if they are uncomfortable too :)
Saying "I want to try something new, it might not work, what do you think" to our students is powerful.
Student (and parent) voice crucial in this process, at all stages. Involvement encourages owndership
This can push progress back or stall it even if well-meant! .
A3 Im forever looking for opportunities to collaborate to model the whole global class/citizen thing
I'm lucky. I tell my principal that I have the most left field thing I want to try, he lets me run with it.
A3 Ask all teachers to ask their students how, when, where do you want to learn? .
and some want to come on board but don't know how. They need the scaffolding.
The key here is start small, prototype, trial trial, learn from failure, trial more, repeat
Hi all, very late, multitasking and doing a quick catchup :)
A3: Ts need to stop meeting for trivial. Have a platform where ideas r discussed/applied/reflected. Act.
A3: Some leaders getting involved in digital PLNs, but not enough. Some Ts reluctant if not modeled higher up.
Likewise often easier have innovative collaborations with people outside of local environment. .
A3 Isn't this the prime example???
I've been team teaching with a class in the UK ( in Aus). Now I'm passing this experience and connections onto others
I agree, too many dept. meetings admin first then no time for innovative discussions. need to flip! .
A3- show teachers what is possible, inviting them to have a play and see where it goes. Use them to share ideas with others
It is when you live in the middle of the country!
Nice work! Let us know how it goes! .
"Opt in" is probably the key word..
A3. Like in anything, leaders need to lead from the front. Leaders who live in the dark ages condemn staff to being in dark.
Yes and if you'd like to collaborate with some students etc in rural New Zealand let us know
Hey, I'm in AKL with 100 staff, I learn more from .. LOL
Me too- we're getting there. Ts are open to the idea.
and so they should! Let teachers be free to try, experiment and play! Best inquiry into practice is to DO!
A3 Twitter convos - and help teachers to connect and share ideas. I've many many connections this way.
A3: Also important for leaders to trust Ts with innovation - revolution from below
Indeed! Twitter/digital PLN perfect for T connectivity so part of innovative leadership should be modelling this
Yes don't need to meet about anything that can be achieved in one email meet f2f to collaborate
hi Lisa - plenty of Qs left!
When I say fail, fail small. Trial change with a class, then 2 classes, then a department, then a school. Always iterating.
get them to reflect on their learning. What did they get out of it, how would they do it diff.
A3 cont. Leaders who try new things, are open to new things, are more likely to let their staff try new things of their own.
Mine are pretty great here compared to some of the places I've been. Smiling politely
Great point, I know does meetings via online platforms to have deep discussions. .
Agree- they need time to play. Great when they share
Late!!! Again!!!! Cos meeting went late. Apologies.
Sorry everyone. Every party has a pooper and today I am that pooper. Thanks for the chat!
you can't force innovation!
Yip! What should I keep doing, stop doing, start doing and lots of "why" qs. .

Adrian - I couldn't agree more - that's got to be quote of tonights
"Culture eats strategy for breakfast" (said someone)
Late!!! Again!!!! Cos meeting went late. Apologies.
Your quality will catch up! .
colleagues think I'm geek due 2 enthusiasm Promoting connection is imperative but how to now look like a techy geek
welcome - jump right on in! I was late last week for same reason
Culture gets into one's heart, strategy just stays in the head. .
Why not BE the techy geek?
The leaders in always appear like geeks...but geeks win and are eventually right. LOL .
Geek...nerd...just blah words that dont mean anything anymore. Being tech-aware is what will save jobs now. ^_^
sometimes you need both - balanced diet!
Love how puts the notes she makes from PD she attends on google drive to share with staff & all brilliant!!
Absolutely, they complement each other IMO..
Now for Q4 . What are the barriers to innovative digital leadership? How can these be overcome? https://t.co/inREyzu9sF
Totally understand, the importance of 'why' qs, ask them everyday when writing code.
The why and how qs over the what are the keys to a bright future. .
at least they're smiling. Sometimes need 2 support 1 tchr at a time, bring on board slowly
A4 for me it's just not knowing enough...yet!!
Yes it was me smiling and being polite about lack of experience or intereste
Quality does not require significant tenure to be so. I learn heaps from our new and beginning teachers. .
A4 I call them 'Teaching Dinosaurs'.
A3. Some value connection others don't. Some like to see the reason.
code (eek does my head in!) but I so wanna be able to rule that domain (ain't happening)
A4. The biggest barrier to innovative digital leadership is a leader with the digital footprint of a Barbie doll.
A4: Lack of proper structure. Inconsistency in application incl. hiring. Vision needs 2 align w everything.
Geeks/nerds beg to differ! They're passionate & critical creatives. That's what'll save jobs!
Great post. Need to work from the future and students back, resourcing last prioritty. .
A4-Digital leadership may or may not exist in official leadership structure-need to creatively use the real digital leaders
A4 I put time in my answer to Q2 but it can also fit here!!
How? Great point. Can they have influence if not structurally high?
A4 cont. The next barrier is poor internet connection & a lack of & variety of devices.
And staff to stuck in ways/scared.
A4: Lookin' like a fool! Many leaders don't want to show that they don't know...
we saw off "real housewives" now it's "first dates" L:OL .
A4 I think 'business' demands, keeping the schl on track can consume lots of time & resources, too
A4: I have found the biggest barriers for some are fear of the unknown and of failing; finding time to learn
A4 Research in the higher ed sector shows the biggest inhibitor is lack of confidence by staff to employ new tech in class.
A4: Sometimes people feel too overloaded to learn until they can see the value. It helps when leaders model innovation
do you think 'traditional' ldrship can be the barrier and if so what can be done to change that?
Great point, if there's no digital faith and trust, innovation doesn't have a chance! .
I had a principal with Barbie sized digital footprint. Had NO CLUE about how digital devices are used in tching.
A4 I'm tweeting to a theme tonight. The barrier is an unwillingness to admitting to failure. Innovate, fail, improve, repeat.
Yes! That's where flexible structures are so important! .
A4 find a champion at the top and empower them
They all come....and go! .
A4 Another would be not having consistent vision across the school, incl management
A4: Priorities. Some Ls do not trust "innovation" - trust rugby, bricks & mortar, blackboards.
is it always senior management or are Ts going below the line using that as a blame/excuse/denial thing?
I'm intersted in idea of how Ts can teach code to Ss without knowing it themselves.
Great point Karen, I see my primary role as "cheerleader" for edtech, innovation, not just one of the doers! .
A4 leadership doesn't require knowledge, but enthusiasm for tech & willingness to empower others
Is it possible at the lower levels? .
A4 part 2: I think and also need to be valued & modelled
You become the S and they are the Ts
As w/Ts, ldrs need to be able to practice without penalty https://t.co/QujJdWeknM
do you think 'traditional' ldrship can be the barrier and if so what can be done to change that?
but isn't moving forward part of the Senior leaders role as well? where does autonomy within SCH's fit?
We need to stay positive online!
Yes that's true - well there' no accounting for some peoples tastes
So true... but trust needs to go both ways, and many leaders are fearful of surrendering their image.
Yes I have learned alongside Ss! Ran sessions w another T on scratch + was new to us
I agree, when teachers see that innovation is about never-ending journuies, often they relax, engage. .
A4 Allowing leadership titles to get in the way of leadership influence.
Core blimey that's pretty sad and dire! https://t.co/MHUj1KlTo6
A4: Priorities. Some Ls do not trust "innovation" - trust rugby, bricks & mortar, blackboards.
Great post, I think in some cases, teachers could hold the students back? .
I couldn't agree more - being ++ at all times to everyone, its an important stance
True. And i would ask, why? Who is putting pressure on them to be perfect and not take risks? https://t.co/wYQV37vdkn
So true... but trust needs to go both ways, and many leaders are fearful of surrendering their image.
LOL. I set myself up as the public face of . Someone has to do it! .
and therein lies a problem for some because many leaders threatened by others knowledge A4
Yes but is that surrendering power and control as well??
Likewise, often students have out-of-school ability they bring in! .
Need to learn to work offline. I write majority of my software with no network.
A sneak peek at Tech Tip Tuesday for fans. https://t.co/qHYkvxuriV Blockposters, when you need a HUGE poster. Check it out.
scratch feels like play - my concept of code is probably a bit more complex ?
I've been teaching code (Scratch) this year & I'm learning alongside students - we help each other.
Often I learn from their non-linear perceptions! .
Some leaders would sadly see it this way. Or some are so close to retirement that it's not important
I'm not sure. I'm not a teacher. Might be a blame thing.
A5. Is a formal qualification necessary? Or is the inclination to tu-tu with digital devices more important? 1/2
Don't think so. We do stratch at Year 9, to build confidence then they go techie from there. .
A5: I'd recommend the same learning we are all here doing. Twitter PLN has saved my skin many times
A5: Most innovative leaders are self driven. But having an admin who gets out of the way wd be awesome. ^_^
so strategies to make leaders without knowledge feel more comfortable are important A4
it is, yet I think often leaders are trying to keep things afloat w/o the reserve 2 move 4ward, every schl is diff
My students would find it weird if I knew all the answers, they would engage less IMO. . A4
A5: Project management and change management training. These are fraught processes that need skill.
Yes or even better an admin that "enables". .
Learning to code without computer.
A5. I am thinking more & more than anyone going into a principal/leadership role should have quals in digital lrning too 2/2
I think innovative leaders can be so just by freeing others! .
everyone! Boards, parents, appraisers, and yes, teachers! huge pressure - oh don't forget Gov/moe and the public
Aye. That would be the ideal. But we cant hope for too much too soon. ^_^
I’m coming from jnr perspective but even so - scratch counts!
A5 we use coaching and middle leadership workshops - what support does your SCH use?
A5- think leaders need to have a chance to play, see students in action, talk to other leaders who see how it can work
I use my role to enable others and back when things go awry, also our principal embraces innovation. .
A5: I know this is a but are we confusing innovation with only digital. So much more to it?
digital leadership can come from "leaders", teachers, students, anyone who can lead others
Anyone out there in whose BYOD could tweet the percentage of BYOD students at school (iPads)
A5 The need to learn to listen and follow is massive in my opinion, build platforms for others! .
Agree - it's important that there is shared vision, and Ts and Ss feel ownership. Otherwise - pfffft.
it's a 'in my head' over complicating thing, thing! Lol
I agree for many of our students, it gives them faith they can cope, .
A5 PD, chances to visit others + collab, and generally providing a pro-innovation supportive environment!
funny need to think of ways to bring admin along on journey. Push too hard 1 way they push back.

Maybe but I think it becomes an issue where innovation sees scratch as an endpoint not the beginning! .#
Great! Need to see others' ideas in action to test own hypotheses.
innovative leaders can freak out the reluctant Ts as wel!
1/200 students brings an iPad... Most BYODers bring Chromebooks.
It's about fear, they need to feel comfortable following and learning from other "lower" leaders..
absolutely! Thank you for recognizing that!
Exactly! You don't need a title to lead https://t.co/yLtFU3wZq3
digital leadership can come from "leaders", teachers, students, anyone who can lead others
so making leaders feel comfortable about empowering others key part of it for me A4
So true, this is one of my biggest failings. Need to use range of methods, just keep them moving bit-by-bit! .
is doing amazing things with brilliant program :)
Yes! The best leaders seek to raise others up,not just do it themselves. .
Not sure the term 'lower' leaders sits well with me - are u talking middle managers?
Here's this edition's last Q. Q6. What innovative ways do you manage a social media crisis? https://t.co/sdxTuDeKmu
Could be anyone, put "lower" to highlight how structures can be prejudical. .
A6 - thats a GREAT question! We try and minimise but I've had some very unfortunate examples and challenges...
A6: Hide, and hope a C grade celebrity gets caught doing something silly.
25% of our senior kids. There are 85 students. We need to increase.
Yes & a good student. . It's innovative to let students run the class when necessary. t
Yes & a good student. . It's innovative to let students run the class when necessary. t
A6: Realistically, what is the duration of a SM crisis today? They seem to come & go so quickly. Research on impact?
No worries, it was sugar central around my neighbourhood! .
scourge of a leaders life and great source of stress!
A6. Tell the principal asap. Apologise profusely. Record the event in case it comes back to bite you on the bum!
A6 Don’t know about innovative but trying to front foot issues + lots of clear open communication!
So true and I'm not sure these leopards can change their spots. .
I'm pretty much outta battery and will soon disappear. 🙄
A6 - clear and timely communication
In many schools today, that's highly innovative! .
A6: get ahead of it. Have systems to address possible issues. Ex: 'mythbusters' on principals website to address SM rumors.
A5: delete the internet, talk, discuss it, learn, laugh. Stay anon, dont say things u wont say irl. https://t.co/Z6rgfieT2u
Here's this edition's last Q. Q6. What innovative ways do you manage a social media crisis? https://t.co/sdxTuDeKmu
A6 The more transparent a school is, the more it can weather storms IMO. .
Yes would agree Steph - one bad example unfortunately can set things back for everyone
disagree? When u understand drivers it is possible to make change more palatable? A4
A6 I had ONE student use foul language with Google Classroom and made it public. Discipline sorted this young man out. .
all about that ol' chestnut growth mindset
A6- will depend on the source of the storm- internal or external?
A6: Great Q. Immed: communicate, manage and support affected; later: focus on promoting good to outweigh -ve
A6: Apologize, laugh, learn and move on IMO. ^_^ Too many snafus sometimes to dwell on.
Maybe where there's a will, there's a way but some teachers can find the will. .
Its been my TAI for the past two years and I've got stack loads of data and examples of what we've done etc
Depends on nature of crisis...some will stick (eg sexting, abuse) others less so. But some schools not prepped
I think the more u swim in the water, the more competent & literate u become
Good point. Timely focus but in most cases, school will move on quickly. .
keyboard warriors are a growing breed of pain in the backside
So true - need to define nature of crisis and possible implications.
Good point - need a plan in advance for best management
??????? You can always mute inidviduals. Not sure banning works. My classroom is Google Classroom! LOL .#
so maybe 40% in seniors, including the technology provided by the school.
Thanks Nicola thats really helpful and I really appreciate the prompt reply.
So true, FB is a big challenges for us and always will be with student profiles so open. .
There must be experts in this to advise schools? Schools don't want to over/under react?
Some of the things I've experienced could be a all by themselves....
Good point, have some pretty awesome resources .
Oh yeah... we had a student challenge nteirnationally renowned historian with full name/school details. Ooops.
