A1: patience, listening skills and emotional intelligence. I could also use an extra 6 hours a day if that's not asking too much 😉

. Great to have you with us no matter at what level. Join us when you can. is a great community for coaches!
We've been talking about you. We'll stop now.
A1: In 2016, I am looking forward to building even better coaching relationships with my teachers!

A1: I would like a hologram of myself, more hours in the day, better sleep, and a personal chef!
A1: in 2016 I want to redefine my purpose and support teacher professional development authentically!
Hi Karly! Love it, too! Such a highlight every week! Yes to Woot!
A1b: but seriously...I would really like more time with my Ts to explore best practices w tech to transform learning!
So true...balance is everything!
What might that look like for you? How might you know it's moving?
This would make a good start for 2016 https://t.co/nELWCzSCW0
A1: I'd sure like to win the 1.3 billion dollar Powerball on Wednesday :)
I'm right there with you. I'd love that, as would all my bills.
What if we could all do a group purchase. Oh the possibilities if we won. https://t.co/R6ItYu1F0E

It's all about those relationships!
A1: Participated and have now purchased BreakoutEDU boxes to use in the district.
A1: I want to build more fluid/differentiated PD that meets the flexing needs of our Ts
A1: Balance of time to juggle the tasks. Make the possible from the impossible.
im gonna try to drag you down here then for a few conferences!!
YES! Agreed Pablo. The fun and magic can get lost in the day to day stuff (esp during the BIG test) https://t.co/pPpbRoYJo8
A1 I want Ts to find the magic, that is teaching. Its not lock-step. Lead by smiling, hvg fun & exploring.
How might the criteria for a "real impact" vs impact you're already making differ or evolve?
I'd be happy with an extra hour but ill take 6 for sure!!
Where is your next conference?
Definitely a great purchase. Still waiting on my kit to arrive.
A1: I want to be a better coach. Stop giving answers and start leading teachers to find their own
much credit goes to , but you both rock \m/
OOOH A hologram would be fun...but a personal chef? Now we're talking!
A1: to make better decisions about going to bed and prioritizing sleep. Eliminating screen time at least an hour before bed too
This is such a good idea! I need to do that too.
You know I love spreading the and gospels!
Hiieeee ! Couldn't stay away😆 Not sure how much I'll participate...still working. Sigh.
Christina- Assessment/Tech TOSA from Capitola. One highlight from 2015 is developing professional development for colleagues
A1 I want to be a more connected and complete teacher.
way to go this means you're a lifelong learner &t hat vulnerability is a powerful way to show it's ok to keep trying
I want to know more about the boxes!
A1: To continue to connect with Ts to make teaching + learning innovative and exciting!
Is that a matter of you having more time, or the Ts making more time for you in their schedule?
This is a wonderful purpose for your new year, Emily! https://t.co/EknbGEYtNT
A1: I want to be a better coach. Stop giving answers and start leading teachers to find their own
A1) Hi The 1 think I want for me in 2016 is to start the year of caught up!
A1: Finish clearing my admin cred - yes, the dark side. Being a positive game changer with Ts. Learning with all of you!
A1- I am so blessed in this yob, hate to ask for anything. I would love to build my EdTech team and support more teachers.
A1. I would like to have more instructional coached supporting our secondary schools
A1: Want to connect with more TOSAs around my area.
Yes! Big year for more reading for me, as well. We're off to a great start in thanks to you!
probably in September hope to repeat the w/
yup - I don't mess around! haha! imagine a good meal waiting for you after a long day at work!
A1: Besides the Powerball, I would like to do more speaking and inspiring other teachers. It's a goal of mine to network.
Working is good, but like suggests, investing in yourself grows more productive versions of yourself
a good alternative to a clone!!
You have a group of TOSAs here & when you connect w others, bring them to for an even larger community https://t.co/xjclV0LStf
A1: Want to connect with more TOSAs around my area.
hi good rest to you and a great tomorrow!
Dropping knowledge and it's only question 1! https://t.co/cyMOE8GAQC
How might the criteria for a "real impact" vs impact you're already making differ or evolve?
I think with tech esp I see sparks of interest and use. Would like to see that evolve as teachers integrate tech daily
Excellent!! Sign me up! would be awesome! https://t.co/DCgIgu45qP
Yes! Big year for more reading for me, as well. We're off to a great start in thanks to you!
And you have been awesome John!
A2: I want to see Ts and Ss take more risks! This is where deep learning can really happen.
Is that a matter of you focusing, or begin allowed/enabled to focus more?
A2 That they be confident enough to try new ways of doing things.
that popped up in my calendar too for Feb sometime! I'm planning on voxing you tomorrow anyways too... hehe!!!
Using tech w/purpose...and increased frequency
A2: Both realize they have untapped potential, Ts be lead learners, Ss to take charge of their own learning. Voice and Choice.
A2: For my teachers to be more patient and willing to try new things...they are too afraid.
first time on excited to be here
me having more time to actually get out to all my sites...less meetings & more time with Ts!
Agreed. I took too much time off...too relaxed, hard to spin back up to my pre break level.
Connect with everyone here on . It’s a fabulous community. Whenever you need another, we’re a tweet away https://t.co/k3nkTGd8se
A1: Besides the Powerball, I would like to do more speaking and inspiring other teachers. It's a goal of mine to network.
A1b More co-teaching time with my Ts - definitely the most effective/fulfilling part of my coaching year thus far.
A2- Don't be afraid to try something. You will be amazed at what your students can do. Just dive in. (For Teachers)
A2. I would like all Ts and Ss to achieve success in the classroom and within themselves.
I hope to get my teachers using more tech in their classrooms. Afraid our tech seems more like expensive paperweights now.
A2: For Ts to develop a growth mindset & Ss to have the Best year ever, every year!
Yes! Matching Ts + Tool + Content that produces something fantastic! The rhythm is dif for each Tt https://t.co/wIDZN72rGX
A1: To continue to connect with Ts to make teaching + learning innovative and exciting!
A2: I want our Ts to become more connected to each other and great teaching outside of their classrooms - no reason to be isolated
Yep, I have that issue too. Looking for some positive encouragement for them. https://t.co/a1pMb3a6EY
A2: For my teachers to be more patient and willing to try new things...they are too afraid.
No dropping of anything, LOL, really just curious, I am developing similar ideas, and it's more calibration
A2: Answer that comes to mind immediately is growth mindset for all teachers & students.
A2: That Ts wouldn't be so overwhelmed by all they have on their plates. Tech shouldn't be one more add-on. See joy in teaching
A2- What do you want to explore, spark their energy to explore the world of tech outside the classroom.
A2 my fellow Ts you are weary or unsure of tech embrace it. I want my Ss to develop digital citizenship & skills need for 21st
A2: I'd love to see the engaging/collaborative power of ed tech embraced by all teachers and students, not just the go getters!
Ahh, the force of procrastination and too many side projects is strong in this one
Agreed. It's what makes our jobs so interesting every day!
woot!! hope your feeling better!!
my colleague and I have a loyal following, but there are 900 more teachers out there that need to...jump so to speak.
Call me clueless. What is voxing?
A2 Ts are nothing w/o students. They are why we are here. For Ss everywhere, I want engaged Ts, sympathetic Ts, Adventurous Ts
Having ongoing lessons w/ Ts (like they keep asking me back!) and them being willing to take risks w/me https://t.co/BgCwFt0tQh
What might that look like for you? How might you know it's moving?
A2: I want to have them fail a bit. Not a lot, just enough to know they are pushing boundaries. learning like students
. Courage is hard to achieve.
A2: I really want them both to reconnect with the joy...joy in sharing their learning and joy in the act of discovery!
A2: what I want for Ts & Ss is for admin to invest in change leadership training, create culture of taking risks, failing forward
Would like to see the things we are already doing go deeper and become more the norm than the "extra fun stuff".
Constant goal: Teach THROUGH technology, not TO it. https://t.co/uc3HA8N5Do
A2: That Ts wouldn't be so overwhelmed by all they have on their plates. Tech shouldn't be one more add-on. See joy in teaching
We’re glad you’re here. Keep coming. We also has a group, G+ community, & is always evolving https://t.co/DjJTxk0heC
first time on excited to be here
Yes more balance! That's exactly what I want too.
Yes this is a good one! I want more admin to support risks too!
I still plan to implement
Seeking you out for more, instead of vice versa and a continued, sustained interaction
A2: Wish they that never stop creating. Lecturing & notes results in a big yawn. Ss & Ts need to make, explore, and do.
Yup. Also use it in novel and exciting ways. Want to see more creation and less consumption.
A2: To have fun while learning. Rule #1 in my class: have fun.
A definitely must for forward movement from Ts and Ss!
better late than never. K Teacher from so Cal.
A2: I want my Ts to be as excited about tech as myself and the Ss are and to see how simple tech integration is
I'm doing a Wed. Tech Fun class for my teachers. Going to teach them one thing every week. Have them use the tech.
a great thought that were discussing the other day https://t.co/gxwsSv9744
A2: what I want for Ts & Ss is for admin to invest in change leadership training, create culture of taking risks, failing forward
Oh, I just got it. In real life. Yes, we have an idea for the future for that.
So true. Couldn't agree with this more. https://t.co/60nyQdoeG8
A2- Don't be afraid to try something. You will be amazed at what your students can do. Just dive in. (For Teachers)
This is so me right now! So me. 3 weeks off was too much for me. https://t.co/PlPsnB6lAR
Agreed. I took too much time off...too relaxed, hard to spin back up to my pre break level.
Where the deeper learning is the standard, and Ts see value and fun that is possible
A2: My 1 desire for Ts is to try 3 new things before 2017, for Ss to lose fear of being wrong https://t.co/ZIk4zKMvYh
Ditto! For Ts to see us as part of their ongoing development and in-district PLN.
awesome!!! We did one called tech club!!! Keep up the
oh it's a beautiful thing...it's like a interactive podcast with all these wonderful folks in we do this..but w voices!
Love being in the classroom w/ Ts! Builds relationships https://t.co/8TUlVydqY9
A1b More co-teaching time with my Ts - definitely the most effective/fulfilling part of my coaching year thus far.
blaust412 - and learning Voxer is a new goal for me! … so bring it on!!! https://t.co/NDGB0drx61
Art of Coaching is the book. This is week one (chapter 1) On Voxer. What's your username and we'll add you!
What can we do to help ? https://t.co/vb0Y0wE8Cx
I hope to get my teachers using more tech in their classrooms. Afraid our tech seems more like expensive paperweights now.
Me being focused. There are so many resources and tools. As a TOSA need to narrow down to be less overwhelming.
Welcome! I'm new here, too. 2nd week. Great peeps!
A2: to be CREATORS of technology...not just USERS
Ah yes, always a struggle for me, as well!
A2: We hold "Tech Tuesday" classes every Tuesday, and we get the same 50-75 people. Wish more would show up.
Really getting up there on the SAMR model too
yes I love this idea mark!!!
A2: one desire for Ts and Ss is connecting ideas to relieve initiative fatigue and increase excitement for real learning
A2:If only I could get all of my Ts on Twitter:there is just SO much to discover: Ignite that joy for those who've lost it.
Here Here! Creators NOT Consumers!
I know I was blown away when my kids started just playing with tech and kept going. It was addicting for me.
Mine consists of interlocking geographic cells, centered around each TOSA.
Hey Folks.. Joe Rodriguez checking in from West Covina
Yes April! Much can be lrnd thru a risk, especially if it doesnt pay off. Dust yourself off & try again https://t.co/RBVKBnySxU
A2: I want to see Ts and Ss take more risks! This is where deep learning can really happen.
Using EdCamps and similar models for district PD
We’re glad you’re here, April. Jump right in.
https://t.co/rcOwHY8Gk8
A2: Wish they that never stop creating. Lecturing & notes results in a big yawn. Ss & Ts need to make, explore, and do.
Our teachers are afraid of Twitter...it's so easy.
nothing specific right now, just learning but I think it's time to stop.
A2: To move from training to collaborative lesson planning through PD. Lessons to differentiate and engage through tech
Welcome, you two! is a great support network!
Yeah. I get that. We have enough ppl on my team to specialize a little bit and collaborate where needed.
thanks! is moving faster then new edtech in the classroom lol
strong chains and bonds built !!
A2: I like what both and said: Relationships, Ts asking me, and upper reaches of SAMR model
A2: Hard... can I just say everything: try, collaborate, be confident, connect w/ others, learn, have fun...
If I am focused I think it will allow me to be able to help more Ts effectively integrate tech.
Yep! I'm about 3 min. behind!!!
but aren't TOSA & Ecoaches supposes to know it all?
How do we get ourselves on the map?
I just bought 5 new books & can't wait to dig in!!!
love this idea of PD through planning!!
Bring on the overwhelmedness! How do I get in the stream? (and is it called a stream?) https://t.co/UchVSkE6jZ
You've come to the right place. These people are Voxer Fanatics!
A2: Want for my Ts to feel comfortable enough to take more risks this yr... want same for our Ss
EXACTLY! Without overwhelming them. That is where me being focused with help.
hi again from Québec Canada !
A2 - For my Ts and Ss to feel empowered and take the risks necessary to learn!
Start with Why, The Art of Coaching, and...can't remember! but one was on hahah!
totally agree the teachers that grow the most fail forward
HA HA! When we think we know it all it is time to leave the job.
A2 I desire for My students that they believe in themselves as I believe in them
Ahh that's a really good point, finding that balance, too much, too little...that's hard...and not doing it all 4them..
Ts are so much more invested when they create. Much like we are asking our teachers to do with out students.
I am going on year 4 of my flipped classroom. Haven't taught a lecture in 4 years and my Ps/Ss love it. https://t.co/OBsOnQ5VLg
I know I was blown away when my kids started just playing with tech and kept going. It was addicting for me.
A2: for my Ts... to embrace growth mindset and focus on creativity, inquiry and choice every day for Ss!
Mindset for me, too, regarding the Ts! I don't want to think certain Ts will never change. Reminder to think -- Yet!
A2: I'd like to see both teachers and students move from learners of technology to leaders of learning, with tech at forefront.
a great goal Amanda! I am definetly working on this one too!
A2 To have FUN learning. Sorry got caught up in AWESOME side convos (where the magic happens =)
I'm reading Personalized PD and Innovator's Mindset presently. :)

Love it! Now, I'm even more behind on the chat, though.

How about understand, support, and take a couple risks too?
A3: Good Q. For teachers I’d like to continue to share the power of Twitter & building your PLN w Ts not on Twitter yet.
A3: My classroom. I feel very comfortable doing what I do and loving it. My admin want me to spread what I do and branch out.
agree it was more engaging and you can get a ton out of it.The hardest part is starting
A3: I'd like to share what innovative Ts are doing in my district so other Ts can get inspired!
I just ment this from a Tview point T. I see many seek out help for everything like you have a magic wand
This is soo important for all teachers. It's hard when you've lost the spark. https://t.co/eHnqVtoujZ
A2: I really want them both to reconnect with the joy...joy in sharing their learning and joy in the act of discovery!

A3: Good Q. For teachers I’d like to continue to share the power of Twitter & building your PLN w Ts not on Twitter yet.
I flip my class. I haven't taught a lecture in 4 years. Ss have complete control of what happens in my class.

You are already doing it! How was your presentation today??
Yup, gotta break free from the alma mater. Time to be me!
I'm getting the principals excited about Twitter this year for their own PLN.

Compliance ain't learning!
get ready for a wild ride!
I wonder if there is a bank of your sayings we could access...may help facilitate transformations
A3 I want to share my view about teaching students first, content comes 2. It's how we get to students, but we have to teach kids
A3: I really want to spread personalized learning in 2016! We have the tools to do this, now Ts just need the mindset.
a smile can go a long way!
Me too! Trying to spread the twitter love all 'round!
Live in West Covina.. teach in
A3: I'd like to be the EdTech person who uses the strategies. Just so Ts say I am a good teacher, not the TECH teacher
A3: I want my teachers to realize Im not tech support, but teacher support.
Ohhhhhhh GO BEN! Get ready! =)
We’re glad you’re here Jenny! We have another from IL here tonight too.
RT : Compliance ain't learning! And yet that's what District PD asks of teachers
perhaps the most powerful of the Cs!!
A3 always to continue to share in the learning w/ out Ss then share what learned globally
I got a lot of good feedback, all the love is amazeballs. Thanks for asking.
I want to try a mystery skype sometime!!!
A3 I would like 2 share that we can teach w/o walls & ceilings! If it rains, figure out a way 2 cover up.
Ohhhhhhhh yes! Love this! https://t.co/7U903Z5wgu
A3: I'd like to be the EdTech person who uses the strategies. Just so Ts say I am a good teacher, not the TECH teacher

I really want to do that! Mystery Skype would be awesome!
A2: My wish for Ts is to be bold explorers in trying new things! I'm here to support them...but let's go boldly into the unknown
Voxer, Twitter, so many amazing ways to get connected! https://t.co/kZYXi6BuHS
A3:Want to share power of connectedness. Trying to get Ts connected w/each other across district via Google+ and meet ups
I usually start w/ collaboration and then make them create together!
Let’s do it. When I do a training on it, maybe we can do it to model for our Ts.
A3: Instructional technology strategies used during interactive staff meetings. Modeling active engagement of learners.
I love them. I'd gladly do a mystery skype with your students and my students. https://t.co/9FCN3Gc1kW

That time on when you were so busy being clever with youtube and memes and GIFs that you got totally lost.
A3: want to share the success stories of Ts who start w/the WHY, design effective instruction, then pick last
Much of the PD in our district is teacher-directed. 12 hours of personalized PD--small steps!
Me, too! Doing TechTalks at lunch this week on campus. Excited about it! Stations with GForms and convos w Ts.
I know it sounds so much fun!!
Sounds like we can start organizing some calls to model for our teachers.
A4: Balance, I have yet to find balance. & Acceptance that I can not be as connected as my peers.
I'm gonna have to steal a class!!!
Love your positivity, . So very true!
it's awesome when teachers are engaged in PD
A4: Upper Admin Support would be awesome! They love we're there, but forget we need support as well.
Pass me a helping of time for conferences & the support to go, too please ! https://t.co/PUZUZk5av0
A1cont: I want TIME. Time to attend more conferences. Position has flexibility but hoping director of elem Ed supports time off
A4: Forward momentum from more than just the core grp of Ts who are on board with tech. Need the movement to spread to all!
This is something we are dealing with at my school https://t.co/ANNZPHGjk7
A3: I want my teachers to realize Im not tech support, but teacher support.
A4 My AMAZING PLN! I don't know what I would do without you all. You are such an inspiration and wonderful support network.
A4: Time...time to learn and grow!
A4: Time. I always find myself running out of time. Love my job to the moon and back.
A3: I want to share w others the power of connection, the joy of sharing like in & spread the love
Yes! And get all Ts comfortable with SAMR and the 4 Cs in the process!
Agreed. No one wants to be at a boring PD session, no more than students want to be in a teacher-centered classroom.
A4 Enough time to do all of the projects I've put on my plate.
Thanks! https://t.co/l6Wrl5FkvQ
I still remember you sharing lots of great things at EdCamp Chicago in the fall! Thank you!
Hee hee hee. I haven't even gotten to the GIFS! I had one all ready to go too! Sheesh https://t.co/pcDOV1Vcga
That time on when you were so busy being clever with youtube and memes and GIFs that you got totally lost.
A4 I need to take care of myself so I can work at full capacity. Eat right, sleep more, actually exercise https://t.co/giaBHurVHD
I'm dying!!! HILARIOUS!!!
Trying https://t.co/4gjnpa1oTB Electronic Village Online - MOOC. Teachers as Designers these next few weeks. Very cool.
Balance is definitely something we’ll all working to find. It comes & goes. Good that it does return. https://t.co/RFTjNP7YZD
A4: Balance, I have yet to find balance. & Acceptance that I can not be as connected as my peers.
RT : A3: I want my teachers to realize Im not tech support, but teacher support.
A4... BalAnce, understanding from colleagues of what I can do for them, and what they should let me help them do.
we don't want no sticking parrots (unless there for pirates)
We’re working on the same goals! There’s a lot to be said for pairing SAMR with TPACK to honor Ts https://t.co/jNHC4amZRc
Yes! And get all Ts comfortable with SAMR and the 4 Cs in the process!
& mayb just mayb that sometimes not everything needs a CCSS attached to it
A4: More opportunities to grow by collaborating with co-workers and PLN!
A4: I need clarity and focus, stop doing many things, and do 1 or 2 well
A4: I need to focus on Single Tasking. Focus on the 1 on 1 time I have with teachers and not worry about the backed up email.
Wrkg on that as well. What avenues r u using? We've done 1 staff meeting. Hoping for more, if Ts want.
Ohhh I started it! I like that you used a form! Will finish it after the chat!
That’s it. Ari has a great sticker for this
Yeahhh, balance is also huge...that's needed too
hey thanks to you, my Canadian friend you really do inspire me... so thanks for all you share!!!
Yes one of my faves! Great video to show teachers before PD to lighten the mood.:) ALL teachers feel this way
A4 Nothing! I take that back! I need help transforming educ but I know I hv it here! We need a revolution. Keep up the grt wrk!
A4 teachers and colleagues who have a wild vision as I have
I can make anything fit in to ccss if needed. 😜
Absolutely agree! I think the standards talk has stuck. Let's infuse tech and creativity!
Recent admin convo: Why do we structure Admin mtgs & staff mtgs differently than we want good clssrms? https://t.co/BzfeRPHDFz
Agreed. No one wants to be at a boring PD session, no more than students want to be in a teacher-centered classroom.
I need to push the bureaucracy in the right direction. Ritual compliance kills Ts and Ss. We need Trust within the system
This is a good goal. I struggle with not letting myself get sucked into the "How" & "what" of it all. https://t.co/bcufbvzvyd
A3: want to share the success stories of Ts who start w/the WHY, design effective instruction, then pick last
You'd think people would get this, but it's surprisingly difficult. https://t.co/4mxwo7oWhY
Agreed. No one wants to be at a boring PD session, no more than students want to be in a teacher-centered classroom.
I think develop good focused lessons, you can always find ccss that apply later. Focus on the learning and the kids.
It'll provide link to then there's more after that...do you know if you can share decks
I was just saying exactly that the other day!
I need to remember to keep health as a priority.
Lot's of talk about focus, balance, time, collaboration. Great ideas for future a !
I'll be placing my order in 20 minutes lol
Exactly! Essential elements of instruction is needed in all forms of instruction & mtgs.
RT : Recent admin convo: Why do we structure Admin mtgs & staff mtgs differently than we want good clssrms?
Ding ding ding! https://t.co/ZXeLDoHaMJ
I think develop good focused lessons, you can always find ccss that apply later. Focus on the learning and the kids.
I think did it's a whole new approach to life!
Kelly also has some stickers for Check with her.
I just don't get it. Educators all say this and yet line em up, sit em down, keep em "on task" is the norm https://t.co/OaSWazACAT
Compliance ain't learning!
So needed, your gifting of saying a lot, in small, fun way is needed, I'd even buy a book of your haiku(s)
A4 I need to continue to strive for "A" & "R" in SMAR excited to see what comes up for
EdCamp is EXACTLY what we’re about to try - hosting local Supts. in a couple weeks! https://t.co/vyMnwXDay6
Wrkg on that as well. What avenues r u using? We've done 1 staff meeting. Hoping for more, if Ts want.
had never seen it! Do it for each other...regardless of the scoreboard!!!
Sweetness, I didn't know that (:
I'd like the tech work correctly. I know we all do, but training on o365 today and blocks left &right from permissions... Ugh
Just now I got some good news from my district about two projects we're working on.
Small groups happening here, too. Power half hours. Hoping for some action. Thinking Voxer, too.
We had here in Palo Alto last school year for admins. Went very well.
A4: ...a new 13 inch MacBook Pro Retina wouldn't hurt either...but that's not so much a "need."
YES! Super pumped about a SAMR chat =)
yeah! sends a powerful message that that scoreboard is NOT the final score!
I host an edcamp@in April... if anyone is close, come visit!
back to up to dropbox, google, and one a flashdrive and zipdrive
A4: Of course time. But my is ACCOMPLISH- set goals and get them done! I can be my worst enemy
I prefer it to Nearpod, everything saves in Drive & Ss can get follow "study" pages afterwards
Just remember it's not a ladder.
Great thoughts on the Power Half Hours Voxer & small groups; tell me more! https://t.co/djkzS459Lt
Small groups happening here, too. Power half hours. Hoping for some action. Thinking Voxer, too.
We're using BrightBytes to push in the right direction. . Leadership is reading Speed of Trust by Covey
We all do, eh? Awareness is first step. Yikes, pressure is on! Will need some coaching, !
Interesting, haven't played w/it yet
A4: more organization or more simplification. I don't want to be one of the cats that needs herding, just running after the new
Excellent ! A colleague of mine had similar in - Finish.
It IS a great tool for discussion and goal setting & reflection w/ tech integration.
Take-home Chromebooks ordered for our poorest families and 1:1 iPads ordered for our 5th graders. Yes!
Would love to hear how you structure! Very exciting!

A5: I will be better than I was in 2015...I will fail more often, I will be more in the moment, and I will DO more
Getting to help my daughter with homework instead of tweeting. UGH!
The redundancy of "T-centered classroom." Show me a classroom that isn't. Show me Ss that can choose. https://t.co/xYyQuwTBmU
Agreed. No one wants to be at a boring PD session, no more than students want to be in a teacher-centered classroom.
A5: In 2016 I will succeed in failing forward. Every day.
A4:Need to figure out how not to lose my creative spark while being bogged down w/the business of this new TOSA position
Love it! Although I kinda expected the music to be more epic than news; like Imperial march https://t.co/wTYwZuK29v
Comparing the tools, are there similarities or differences for each?
A5 coMing back on twitter and share again My ideas like The silent debate in march
We miss you Patsy, but remember there’ll be a Storify afterward. Time w your daughter is more important. https://t.co/rUz31LMU6z
Getting to help my daughter with homework instead of tweeting. UGH!
Not ladder, and S+A are not bad places to "live" while trying on tech!
Ohhh how did I miss you pop in in all the chatting giphy chaos Joanne?!? Hello!!! =) https://t.co/oRycCILEFT
A5: Trying new things! There's no learning without it! Can't just read about new things gotta try them too!
Aha moment! Studying Amazon w/ 8th gr. 1 says Amazon Prime. I say Yes! Named after the River. It’s huge and never ending. Oh OOH!
We have a voxer support group for this if you want to join. It's a bit slower then one
A5: I WILL get at least ¼ of my Ts to STOP printing papers to grade them, gumming up the writing cycle. https://t.co/fwcP5zJY7h
LOL I am sneaky like that ;)
love this it's a great perspective to take!
Amanda is just articulating all my thoughts tonight better than I can! Thanks! https://t.co/19m1xfGKY8
A4:Need to figure out how not to lose my creative spark while being bogged down w/the business of this new TOSA position
I often use the visual of a swimming pool. Could wade in S+A, & go to M+R when ready.
A5: Personal, focus on health & well being, Getting on bicycle, Goal end of FEB 300+ MPM, April 500 MPM https://t.co/LuvwYU7LXM

Getting to help my daughter with homework instead of tweeting. UGH!
A5- I WILL succeed in creating an EdTech vision for my District in 2016!!
great goal!! you know where we are!
A5 I will Succeed at getting at least one teacher to try something new in tech even if it makes my curly hair go straight.
Just having the SAMR graphic in mind is a boon for planning and thinking abt what Ss will KUD.
On flip side, I am glad I don't hear Ts tech goals as going "paperless" ...I usually do this then
& some activities call for S+A. It’s okay. IMPT to just be mindful to move to M+R if possible
. I like the pool too because you can't swim in the deep end forever, that's exhausting
A5 I WILL learn Python!! =)
Now that I have a groove I will get into more classrooms and develop design more pd for staff
A5 Just kidding! I really want to focus on a better solution for our teachers.
LOVE IT!!! And with that attitude...you WILL!!!
RT : A5- I WILL succeed in creating an EdTech vision for my District in 2016!!
I liked the one you shared before break...those are helpful and fun
what??? I didn't know there was a new ?!??? too bad I have class that day!
i may need that support group
I want to figure that out and not be pulled in 50 different directions.
A5: I will succeed at focusing my role on coaching-removing less relevant logistical tasks. https://t.co/gbKVk2EgcA
Yeah...paperless is not a real goal in 2016...or maybe ever, but let's not bring it unnecessarily.
"Bureaucracy in the right direction" is an oxymoron. The push is illogical. Step away from it and trust! https://t.co/IHku1m4thW
I need to push the bureaucracy in the right direction. Ritual compliance kills Ts and Ss. We need Trust within the system
Love that, Joe! King of Analogies! (Use ur Twitter = river often!)
Kind of both extremes...I think it's a balance. I wish you luck on your quest
Looking for that groove!!!
A5: Delivery of content to Ts will be more creative and engaging & provide a model for them
Aah, yes. The analogy evolves. Excellent!
ditto to this. We need a vision or plan!
A5 I will succeed at making changes in an education system that stifles Ss and handcuffs leadership. I am all in for Ss and Ts
I like "paperlight"! https://t.co/gM1ug1gePo

A5:totally redesigning our PD day! More and shorter sessions-all hands-on/interactive ala style!
I will get more classrooms to be student focused and student product focused. Moving away from "I taught it" .
A5: I WILL do a better job at taking care of me...sleep, exercise, eating … plus, I WILL succeed at sharing in FSD & beyond
I am realizing one of the best things about Twitter, through chats, I am forced to articulate bringing to light these things
A5: I WILL succeed in making ed tech an ongoing LCAP priority for our district!
Paperless for no reason = tech for tech’s sake: there are times/places for all tools. Select the right one https://t.co/7RBlxeikva
Yeah...paperless is not a real goal in 2016...or maybe ever, but let's not bring it unnecessarily.
Have to remember we all support each other whenever and however we can.
Nice! My Ss always said "like the beer??" when we talked about sun's corona & Sam Adams- yep, good job guys. Ha!

I think so, but will def read again! I remember loving it!
A5: I'd love to start planning a whole district Edcamp day - showcase the in house talent!
A5: I will do a live PD to the whole district via live stream.
Yes, and please don't use tech to simply replace paper, unless it leads to more. K2 especially
yes! like the sharing of best practices??? :)
yep I'll take any connection commercial or non
Yeah. I mean (e.g.) makerspaces can/should be filled with all kinds of paper and art supplies.
and you can inspire me to do a hot chocolate run...because I would maybe run for chocolate!!!
Ugh, same for me! Sleep and exercise are musts, and I deprive myself!
A5 I will not waste everyone's time trying to change the unchangeable. I will do something elsewhere, new, different.
A5 I will win the PowerBall Lotto on Wednesday, open a school for all Ss and hire all you wonderful, progressive educators!
its paper less not paperless lol
A5: I will succeed by having Ts buy-in re: Digital Citizenship initiative this year. Realizing DC is everyone's responsibility.
