    #akedchat A2: Teachers must be aware of their district's policy AND believe they should be held to it. Do your teachers know the policy?
  • SheelerTech Jan 23 @ 11:10 PM EST
    A2: I think caution is very necessary. If your district or you aren't comfortable with publishing, consider an internal publishing #akedchat
  • nick_schumacher Jan 23 @ 11:10 PM EST
    A2. We have media releases. More importantly I ask for student permission. Some kids like the attention. Some don't #akedchat

    Does your school/district have an opt-in or opt-out policy for publishing student faces/work? #akedchat Think most are now opt-out
  • spiraledu Jan 23 @ 11:13 PM EST
    LOL. my phone screen is so small, I thought it said phishing not publishing! #akedchat we have media release forms.

    #akedchat I don't hear of many parents not giving permission to publish anymore. How is it in your school/class?
  • brianrozinsky Jan 23 @ 11:16 PM EST
    Pros of sharing S work, to this point, outweigh cons. Anticipating will hold true through foreseeable points. #AKedchat

    A2. I had a student publish his work on his own facebook account. Proud moment. #akedchat
  • SheelerTech Jan 23 @ 11:18 PM EST
    Another way to share: If your students are old enough to have their own social media accounts, ask them to tag you and re-tweet. #akedchat
  • joerobison907 Jan 23 @ 11:18 PM EST

    #akedchat Any of you or your students create podcasts?
  • brianrozinsky Jan 23 @ 11:21 PM EST
    A3 For Shakespeare recitation, I encouraged Ss to record selves via Vocaroo, Could critique practice, also rehearse along w/selves #AKedchat

    I see a lot of classes doing podcasts or radio. We did a unit on it, but would love to do it on a daily basis #akedchat

    #akedchat How do you use audio files that you and/or your students create in your curriculum?

    #akedchat A3: iMovie and Vocaroo -- any other tools you use?
  • joerobison907 Jan 23 @ 11:22 PM EST
    A3. Ss also use @YouTube pages #akedchat
    In reply to @YouTube
  • SheelerTech Jan 23 @ 11:23 PM EST
    A3) Voice Memos on iOS, audacity on computers are great tools. Audioboom is great for hosting. #akedchat

    We do dictations as part of pre-writing process or recording reading passages to help with fluency #akedchat
    In reply to @InspiredImpact
  • InspiredImpact Jan 23 @ 11:24 PM EST
    #akedchat A3: One of the best ways I've seen to use audio-file creation by Ss is to read for fluency & play back for themselves & parents.
  • InspiredImpact Jan 23 @ 11:25 PM EST
    #akedchat
  • spiraledu Jan 23 @ 11:26 PM EST
    Was thinking it might be fun adjective lesson for students to describe something via audio & have another student listen & draw it #akedchat
  • brianrozinsky Jan 23 @ 11:26 PM EST
    Another tool I've heard recommended for audio work, but I have yet to use: Twisted Wave. Integrates w/G Suite for Edu. #AKedchat

    A4) Snapped is great for editing. Adobe Spark Post is a great tool for stylizing photos. #akedchat
  • nick_schumacher Jan 23 @ 11:30 PM EST
    A4. When I taught for the fire service I always took pictures of hazards/ hazardous materials to add to my presentations. #akedchat
  • joerobison907 Jan 23 @ 11:30 PM EST
    A3. It's not "audio only", but I like giving students the option to video blog in place of journaling... #akedchat

    A4) Use student photos and Spark post for students to make their own meaningful, digital word walls. #akedchat
  • spiraledu Jan 23 @ 11:31 PM EST
    When I taught PK, I used pictures of the students doing the routine & had it on disply to help with positive behavior #akedchat

    A4. images to initiate discussion and collaboration #akedchat
  • nick_schumacher Jan 23 @ 11:32 PM EST
    A4 we had an ELA teacher that would post a picture and have Ss "Paint the words" to describe it. Same picture, 20 descriptions #akedchat
  • SheelerTech Jan 23 @ 11:32 PM EST
    A4) Some educators use Snapchat in their class to let students tell a story via their photos. #akedchat

    #akedchat SO important that a T knows what works best in her class! High tech isn't always the best answer.

    What program does someone use to create an ebook? Is it text based, or picture based? #akedchat

    #akedchat I use @BaiBoard frequently. Students can collaborate in real time and upload work to OneDrive or email.

    #akedchat I feel as though I can best respond to student needs if I'm not bogged down in tech-I just need to learn more!

    A7 I love old fashioned web sites! I have a personal one to keep resources and a class one for announcements, calendar, and forms. #akedchat
