AlexVKluge Jun 21 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 Much more public attention, with a sense of dissatisfaction and pressure for change. #EdSurgeChat

@EdTechBham thinking skills, not googling skills 😉 #EdSurgeChat

TechieTcher Jun 21 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@mjwints It really wasn't. Following lesson by lesson in teacher manuals that weren't very relevant for Ss was common. #EdSurgeChat

@MJMadda I think you have a much wider base from which to make your obs. Most of us only see our own schools. (1/2) #EdSurgeChat

msjlura Jun 21 @ 8:13 PM EDT

#edsurgechat A1: I think for many Ts, not much has changed in last 5 yrs. tech is most often a direct substitution

@msjlura @oncoreapp One of my biggest pet peeves! PD that shows Ts how to get Ss using tech w/higher level thinking is vital. #EdSurgeChat

@EdSurge Think of a smart phone. It's one 'thing', that’s different for everyone depending on the model, provider, apps etc... #EdSurgeChat

@TheWeirdTeacher @EdSurge Learning has regressed/privatized/standardized. Corporations trying to capitalize on a fragile system #EdSurgeChat

@tchrdom @EdSurge #EdSurgeChat See, I think corporations have been involved since I was in school. Before. Everyone looking for profit.

ReneeFranzwa Jun 21 @ 8:54 PM EDT

lisa_westman Jun 21 @ 8:54 PM EDT
