A1: Which movie counts as first @EdTecHakk ? #utedchat I think it was the Empire Strikes back I saw first with my dad :-)

covili - Moderator May 4 @ 11:06 PM EDT

A1 Can’t say I remember Star Wars when it first came out, but Return of the Jedi was a huge hit for 8 year old Bovengh Cloudflier #utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:06 PM EDT

You guys having fun with this Star Wars name generator? Ever use a name generator with students to kick start creative writing? #utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:07 PM EDT

What! You haven’t seen Star Wars? #utedchat https://t.co/eaMWyixYHB

missplott May 4 @ 11:07 PM EDT

A1: saw them in theaters when they were rereleased in the early 90s. I think I only went cuz I heard there would be boys there! #UTedChat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:07 PM EDT

@michelle_zey Good question. In the Star Wars Universe “first” is relative. Let’s go with your first SW Movie. #utedchat

jamesballif May 4 @ 11:07 PM EDT

A1 I was born in 77, but I do remember watching it on VHS as early as 5! #utedchat

DaniKSloan May 4 @ 11:07 PM EDT

A1: I watched w/ my dad when I was 7ish and he was educating me on good movies. We also watched Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. #utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1: #utedchat A1: C3PO has OCD? Yep. In fact most Star Wars Characters are "mentally ill", check out https://t.co/a3PA9PAGdh

downrightdave - Moderator May 4 @ 11:08 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk I don't remember the first time. Star Wars has always been a part of me. #UTedChat

MrJFawson May 4 @ 11:08 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk A1 Don't remember much about seeing Star Wars, but I do remember Return of the Jedi and singing in Ewok #utedchat

misterlarsen May 4 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1: My wife made me watch them for the first time last year. *ducks from stones being thrown* #utedchat

crossleyjs May 4 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1: I wasn’t born until a few years after it came out, but my parents had it recorded off TV. I never knew life without SW. #utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:09 PM EDT

@MrJFawson I wish I had the movie to post on twitter right now! “Yub nub!” #utedchat

crossleyjs May 4 @ 11:09 PM EDT

@misterlarsen Sounds like you married above yourself! #utedchat

pamturley55 May 4 @ 11:09 PM EDT

A1 Saw it in a theater in LA on Santa Monica Blvd. Summer home from college. Yes, college. #utedchat

@MrJFawson @EdTecHakk I think we need to hear a few lines in Ewok. #utedchat

MsMooreELP4 May 4 @ 11:10 PM EDT

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@StarWarsinClass I’m pretty close on that one Thomas. I saw it as a 5 year old and I’ll never forget that Star Destroyer! #utedchat

@lars3eb @washk12 Who put a compressor on the Falcon’s hyperdrive? #utedchat

@missplott @StarWarsinClass You just mentioned it. I'm going to beat you with my cane. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A1 My first memories watching #StarWars involved a sleep over & playing w/ action figures for hours after! Been a fan ever since! #UTedChat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:14 PM EDT

Timeless! If you asked a group of 1st graders if they’d ever seen a Star Wars movie, what percentage do you think would say yes? #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:14 PM EDT

Although, I wasn't born until 1982, a year before the release of JEDI, so I wasn't there for the original releases. #UTedChat

ronaldfisher May 4 @ 11:14 PM EDT

A1 My first memory was watching Star Wars on my Grandpa's TV as it was broadcast over the big satellite dish's. #utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:15 PM EDT

Q2: #UTedChat There are many "educators" in the Star Wars story. Who are you the most like? Kenobi? Yoda? Qui Gon Jin? Han Solo? Why?

FarrBfarr May 4 @ 11:15 PM EDT

@michelle_zey Classic! #utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:15 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki Welcome to #utedchat Thomas, great to have you join the conversation.

missplott May 4 @ 11:15 PM EDT

A1: I was a fan of R2D2 and C3PO from the first time I went on star tours at Disneyland, but didn't see the movie til around 13 #UTedChat

MsMooreELP4 May 4 @ 11:15 PM EDT

A1 pawned the kids I was babysitting off on my sister, snuck in, sat through 2 showings, got grounded #utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:16 PM EDT

A2: #UTedChat Learn more about how to use Star Wars imagery and themes in your teaching at https://t.co/5lWG1saDbW

ronaldfisher May 4 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk almost 75% of my class have seen. Of those 10% are fanatics and were checking out of school to watch the movie in Dec. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@jamesballif @EdTecHakk @washk12 Grrrwaaaaaarggggh! #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@ronaldfisher Yes, but the force is strong with me. I am a Jedi, like my father before me! #UTedChat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@crossleyjs Good point Jared. One new trend I’ve seen is more and more girls are becoming Star Wars fans since SW7. #utedchat

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk #utedchat Agh my laptop crashed

DaniKSloan May 4 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk My 3yo hasn't seen SW, but he has all kinds of knowledge like "R2D2 is a toaster robot and C3PO is a regular robot." #UTedChat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:17 PM EDT

Dear @StarWarsinClass - help us out with hashtags if we mess up any #starwarsday posts or movie connections! #utedchat

ronaldfisher May 4 @ 11:17 PM EDT

A2 I feel I am more like Luke very hesitant about accepting the force but getting stronger in time #utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:18 PM EDT

And you think you had a tough teacher as a kid! #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@MrJFawson @EdTecHakk You had to bring up those little fur balls, didn't you! #UTedChat

missplott May 4 @ 11:18 PM EDT

A2: I'm like Yoda because I'm short and wise 😂😂😜 #UTedChat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@DaniKSloan So does that mean @c3po eats a lot of “Fiber” to stay regular? Get it? “Fiber”? Like Google Fiber :-) #utedchat

jamesballif May 4 @ 11:18 PM EDT

A2 I would say Qui Gon Jin. Just because he was soft spoken but always gets his point across. And he is so cool! #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@misterlarsen Last year? Really? Where you living under a rock or something? #UTedChat

HCraigPritchard May 4 @ 11:19 PM EDT

Craig joining a bit late and realizing the nerd-fest is in full swing. 🤑#utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@jamesballif Have you heard the rumors that QGJ is Anakin’s father? And maybe Rey is his Grand Daughter from another jedi kid? #utedchat

michelle_zey May 4 @ 11:19 PM EDT

A2: Most like Yoda. Mix of direct instruction and learning by doing. (Some need pictures too.) #utedchat https://t.co/FY8VoNUMyS

MsMooreELP4 May 4 @ 11:19 PM EDT

Master teacher yoda #utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:20 PM EDT

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:20 PM EDT

@misterlarsen Were you more of a Star Trek guy instead? Or were you SciFi-Illiterate? #UTedChat

MrJFawson May 4 @ 11:20 PM EDT

A2 Mr. Miyagi oh wait wrong 80's show. #utedchat

MissKerby May 4 @ 11:20 PM EDT

A1: I know I saw return of the Jedi at the domes when it was released. I started my son on them when he was 3. #UTedChat

crossleyjs May 4 @ 11:20 PM EDT

A2: I’m like Qui Gon. I have a hard time making it through the year (first episode) without dying. #utedchat

covili - Moderator May 4 @ 11:20 PM EDT

I like how you only mentioned the good guys as teachers - what about the Emperor, Count Dooku, etc. Unfortunately - Ts as well.. #utedchat

shadow_uzumaki May 4 @ 11:21 PM EDT

#Utedchat Would love to join but comp issues. I'm so sorry. And May the Force be with you!

ronaldfisher May 4 @ 11:21 PM EDT

@lars3eb so you know your ancestry #utedchat I just love this pic. Is your sis also a Jedi? https://t.co/ooUGI0NKSD

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:21 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk Almost 100% at this point! I had to threaten kids at school to not tell #StarWarsTFA spoilers the day it came out! #UTedChat

misterlarsen May 4 @ 11:21 PM EDT

I can relate to this. #utedchat https://t.co/lz1mQhe04Y

MrJFawson May 4 @ 11:20 PM EDT

A2 Mr. Miyagi oh wait wrong 80's show. #utedchat

pamturley55 May 4 @ 11:21 PM EDT

A2 Yoda and high expectations. "Do. Or do not. There is no try." #utedchat

missplott May 4 @ 11:21 PM EDT

A2 cntd: And for Halloween I'll be like R2D2, because, well, this is adorable! #utedchat https://t.co/Z0xlNpk6A1

StarWarsinClass May 4 @ 11:22 PM EDT

A2: Probably Yoda; prefer to take the approach of guiding students through experiences, not forcing them. #utedchat https://t.co/4vzrPDkupr

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:22 PM EDT

@ronaldfisher I don't have a sister, that I know of yet. But, I was adopted, so you never know! #UTedChat

YvonneHaoY May 4 @ 11:22 PM EDT

#utedchat A1: I'm a international student born in 1994. The first touch if Star Wars was actually when I saw Sheldon in The Big Bang Theory.

misterlarsen May 4 @ 11:22 PM EDT

@lars3eb I feel comfortable with the label of SciFi-Illiterate. Unless TMNT counts as sci-fi. #utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:22 PM EDT

@covili Great point @covili Perhaps Palpatine is the most highly qualified and effective teacher? He does remind me of a PD Spec. #utedchat

MissKerby May 4 @ 11:22 PM EDT

A2: yoda for sure, there is no try, only do! #UTedChat

jamesballif May 4 @ 11:23 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk I have heard! I don't know if I'm sold though! #utedchat

covili - Moderator May 4 @ 11:23 PM EDT

A2 - Wish I was Yoda, probably more like Jar Jar Binks. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:23 PM EDT

A2 Kinda like Qui Gon or Mace Windu b/c I tend to follow the rules, so long as they help me. But I'm not afraid to break a few! #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:23 PM EDT

@misterlarsen Nope, TMNT don't count for SciFi, but they do redeem you a little. At least you have that! #UTedChat

ronaldfisher May 4 @ 11:23 PM EDT

@covili brrrr, I recall some of them. Glad I had more of the Rebels and the Alliance type teachers. #utedchat

missplott May 4 @ 11:24 PM EDT

@misterlarsen @MrJFawson if it makes you feel better, I've never seen episode 3. And most of episode 7 didn't make sense to me! #utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:24 PM EDT

Episode, I mean Question 3 coming up in 1 minute… #UTedChat https://t.co/C8KkaczShE

@missplott I so loved Star Tours. One of my fav rides still! #UTedChat

MrJFawson May 4 @ 11:24 PM EDT

@lars3eb rule followers are in the Empire. #utedchat There is a reason for the term 'rebel'

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:24 PM EDT

@covili There is a fan theory that Jar Jar is actually the one Master Sith Lord behind the whole story! https://t.co/KHK7mxR0eO #utedchat

Q3: #UTedChat Have you ever gone "Rogue" as a teacher? Strayed from Curriculum? Tested Tech on your own? What happened?

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:25 PM EDT

@lars3eb How could I forget about Mace Windu! #utedchat

misterlarsen May 4 @ 11:25 PM EDT

@missplott @MrJFawson I don't really feel bad about it. I'm the oldest boy in my family and I was born after it was super popular. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:25 PM EDT

@MrJFawson No, the Jedi followed the Jedi Code, which is a set of rules. But yes, they aren't afraid to break them as needed. #UTedChat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:25 PM EDT

@lars3eb @misterlarsen What worse? A geek or the geek who follows him? What does TMNT mean? #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:26 PM EDT

@btcostello05 @MrJFawson True, but they also did some amazing things. Maybe Qui Gon shouldn't have taken in Anakin, but he did, #UTedChat

covili - Moderator May 4 @ 11:28 PM EDT

A3 Some of my best experiences in the classroom were going rogue. Loved breaking free from the norm. #utedchat

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:28 PM EDT

@crossleyjs @lars3eb @misterlarsen Not rhetorical. I hit Middle School before TMNT came out and was too cool for that stuff. #utedchat

misterlarsen May 4 @ 11:28 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk @lars3eb I'm not here to trash Stars Wars. I love all types of nerds equally. #utedchat

A3 I was one of the first in my building to put open court chunking to PP! Lol #utedchat

DaniKSloan May 4 @ 11:30 PM EDT

A3: Always. Going rogue is more fun than following the teacher manual. Authentic learning happens (for the teacher and students). #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:30 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher @btcostello05 @MrJFawson Great point. Had Qui Gon stayed true to Jedi Order 100%, maybe there wouldn't be Vader. #UTedChat

Q4: #UTedChat As teachers we are all on a "Hero's Journey". What was your "Call to Adventure” that led you to become an educator?

lars3eb - Moderator May 4 @ 11:35 PM EDT

@crossleyjs Too much! #UTedChat

ronaldfisher May 4 @ 11:35 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk because it ruffles the feathers of time honored traditions. #utedchat - which sometimes do have to accept change.

Question 5 coming up in 1 minute… #UTedChat And IMHO, Episode 5 is by far the best Star Wars movie! https://t.co/G40GC6LVCP

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:44 PM EDT

@lars3eb Yes, but even more now. The new “canon” is a cool reboot. #utedchat FYI, EU = Expanded Universe, books about SW beyond the movies.

EdTecHakk May 4 @ 11:45 PM EDT

Q5: #UTedChat Droids were sci-fi in 1977. Today they're in our pockets & roving Mars! Do students today need to learn robotics? Why?

crossleyjs May 4 @ 11:45 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk I think it probably is the best cinematically, but I do love Episode 6 #utedchat

ronaldfisher May 4 @ 11:45 PM EDT

@lars3eb @EdTecHakk @covili if you watch the series #clonewars my son says there is some important information to the storyline #utedchat

This is where we put in a plugin for @SpheroEdu (now to return to the regular program) #utedchat Yes we need to teach robotics, and coding.

crossleyjs May 4 @ 11:47 PM EDT

@EdTecHakk ’tis true. I’m a product of the 80’s. #utedchat

DaniKSloan May 4 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A5: YES! It teaches cause and effect, problem solving skills, computational thinking, work ethic, resilience, and it's just fun. #utedchat

MissKerby May 4 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A5: robotics is my next adventure! I want to learn and think many students could relate and learn a lot with them as well. #UTedChat

A5 Quick Read https://t.co/X0HmmtNlJf #utedchat
