  • TrueNorthCG Oct 22 @ 10:16 PM EDT
    A2: It's interesting to see how "collaboration boards" are taking off for business use. It's time for the classroom to learn to use them as #collaboration tools and not just drawing surfaces. #EDpiper

  • TrueNorthCG Oct 22 @ 10:17 PM EDT
    A2: I prefer them on carts so that #interactive tools are front and center, teacher led. If it's on wheels, it can be anywhere and the spaces can be transformed. #EDpiper
  • woody_cindy Oct 22 @ 10:17 PM EDT
    I’ve enjoyed seeing how teachers are using their interactive boards to display 4 or more student device screens for class discussion & interaction. Also sending from board to devices & vice versa. #edpiper
  • MsEdsonCCE Oct 22 @ 10:18 PM EDT
    A2: I may be heading in the wrong direction with my answer but we have used the discussion board in Schoology as reading responses. It’s so fun to see the questions they develop for each other about their reading. #EDpiper
  • LVondersaar Oct 22 @ 10:18 PM EDT
    A2: The best way I have seen schools use interactive technology is by engaging students in their learning. From interactive morning check-ins to collaborative writing / editing... Ss connect with one another with a tool while leveraging the 4 C’s is awesome! #EDpiper

    A2 Ours are really outdated. We use for things like Kahoot but my challenge with them is how to keep more kids engaged at once with the interactive boards. #EDpiper

    A3: I’m not sure if I think it’s the best way or it just saves my sanity. We utilize their iPads for stations where I airdrop them a Keynote, which has a slide with a video showing how to do each station. They get started easier and I can start meeting groups faster. #EDpiper

  • DrJohnsonEDU Oct 22 @ 10:25 PM EDT
    I've seen so many ways Ss have successfully used their iPad devices. From stations to presentations of their work... I have been so impressed by how they are able to personalize their learning or display their creativity on their device. #EDpiper

    With so many tools, availability, and Ss “need” for instant information, how do you help them own their learning and take the time to learn in a digital format? (i.e. not skim through and really dig in to all that is out there) #EDpiper
  • WinkelerD Oct 22 @ 10:29 PM EDT
    A4: I use chromebooks almost daily. Gives students the ability to use technology daily. From writing short responses to creating lengthy projects in my classroom. #edpiper
  • woody_cindy Oct 22 @ 10:29 PM EDT
    They also have software for class roll “spinners” to allow you to spin for whose turn (from your class list), what groups you’re assigned to, which number to use in the equation, etc. #edpiper

  • SchantzAriel Oct 22 @ 10:30 PM EDT
    I've witnessed students asking Google how to spell words instead of asking the teacher, sounding it out, or simply trying. How do you handle situations when students abuse technology privileges? #EDpiper
  • TrueNorthCG Oct 22 @ 10:31 PM EDT
    That's a great question. I notice that if the content isn't interesting, they work through it to get done. If they are #authentically interested, they will block out the world! #EDpiper #ChangeTheContent #ChangeTheQuestion

        A3: I’m not sure if I think it’s the best way or it just saves my sanity. We utilize their iPads for stations where I airdrop them a Keynote, which has a slide with a video showing how to do each station. They get started easier and I can start meeting groups faster. #EDpiper

    Yes, when I bought totes & rotated the toys so that they only had a few at a time. Kept them fresh and new. Fewer = much better! #edpiper

    Exactly! I've never seen any of my mentor teachers address it. I don't want to be a teacher that pretends to be blind to an issue that is bound to show up in my classroom. #EDpiper

    Another great question. I caught my 3rd grader getting @amazonecho to do her math HW. I used it as a #teaching #moment about how we have to use #technology #appropriately less we lose it as a tool to help. #Alexa #WhatIs18Plus5 #EDpiper

    What are some powerful ways students can use technology while the teacher is engaged with other students? #EDpiper

    A5: The power of self-discovery when they are stuck on various problems during class. #edpiper
  • woody_cindy Oct 22 @ 10:38 PM EDT
    Great question! I think it’s all about the conversation. With older kids, Socratic seminar. With younger ones, portfolios, doing their own data talks, teaching the class, etc. Key is having a realistic need to be able to know the info, beyond the grade. #edpiper
    • ironsclassrules Oct 22 @ 10:28 PM EDT
      With so many tools, availability, and Ss “need” for instant information, how do you help them own their learning and take the time to learn in a digital format? (i.e. not skim through and really dig in to all that is out there) #EDpiper
  • drbhuebner Oct 22 @ 10:39 PM EDT
    A5: Create their own quizzes, create mind maps for projects, practice previous learned skills with new and different environments. #edpiper
  • sarahpedrotti Oct 22 @ 10:39 PM EDT

    By doing exactly what I would do for them! I had a student not here the day I airdropped the new station videos. Instead of interrupting my group another student airdropped it from her iPad. #EDpiper
  • LCHS_Bio Oct 22 @ 10:40 PM EDT
    R5: I tell kids to “google it” or go on @YouTube. When we have the two largest search engines at their fingertips, they should use them. If they are stuck after this, then find me and we will chat. #EDpiper

    Maybe not the “right” answer here, but aren’t these the things that we adults all do? Have we entered a new paradigm? #edpiper

    A5: I have seen Ss in self-directed challenge or using flipped scenarios to help them extend learning while a teacher is working with others. The best way I have seen this is the use of Classroom to load lessons and assignments and allowing Ss to work at their own pace. #edpiper

  • KarmenLogan Oct 22 @ 10:45 PM EDT
    A5- I think the focus needs to be on what skills you want students to practice or improve on- design learning experiences around those goals. Then decide how technology can assist or if appropriate for task. Technology should support our learning goals. #edpiper

    I agree. Tech is the only world they know. We have to realize they can and will get out of bounds at times, but we address those times. We also try to set limits and teach/model ethical behaviors using technology. #EDpiper
