Alex - from NJ - trying to choose between and
I really enjoy Google Docs when writing lesson plans so that I can collaborate with others
A1-I have word files in a dropbox folder. They’re printed out in a binder, but I often make updates so I have to reprint them.

Cloud-based resources arepopular for lesson plans!
A1 notecards :) Had used Word, then Google Docs, write objectives each day, some use OneNote

I think lesson plans should be flexible. If plan is clear, format and platform should be personal choice
I'm late! I'm late for a very important date! Ashley (library media specialist) from Arkansas joining my friends tonight!

As a singleton T, no chance to collab! But ease of sharing w/admin made me a believer in https://t.co/GSckE9lpDZ
I write all of my lesson plans in a word doc unless I am co-teaching. Google Docs work best for collaboration!
Seem to be some Ts who want shareability for lesson plans; others looking for easy organization. I'm in camp 2.
A2- lesson resources (notes, activities, presentations, etc) all Drive-easy to share w/ Ss. LPs on desktop-I need to revamp
A2- organization/housed in folders & at one point on , love that platform
A2: I like as a way to organize and collate resources for units.
A1We use Oncourse learning systems which can BC e shared.
A2 I suppose OneDrive for Business for files. We have share point, but not sure we use it to its full potential
You need to decide if it is going to be school wide or possibility limited to specific teams.
so many apps & choices w/it, unreal, how many options. cool names, Where Dat,
I've found that by being deliberate, you can use Evernote to do both.
Google Apps. Make folders and share with team. We are using Google Drawing to create collaborative curric cal

Author Deborah Wiles using boards for writing. Add images for characters, settings, etc. https://t.co/JvSjRMvJbQ

for a GAFE district, Drive or Classroom. Unlimited space (10 gigs at a pop)
A2: I have switched to Google Drive, Easy to use, can open in any room, and always accessible.

A2: Ts use our global exchange platform to deliver and moderate global & collaborative STE(A)M lessons
can you share lesson plans with others within Blackboard?
A3: Because it is what I feel most comfortable using and navigating
RL moment. Forgot sign-out sheet for Dance Team. Created doc on my phone. Parents typed name. Shared w other coach.
Publisher so I can easily format (I have student side and teacher side) and Drive to create resources-sharability w/ Ss

Q3 district provides and requires us to use. It is accessible to all admins and we can create shared plans folders
so not true…silly over extending myself person 🙃
A3. I like Edmodo for instruction. Kids like the format and it's easy to navigate. Upload files create exams and Gradebook.
have to run thanks for a good chat!
When 3rd grade boys looks forward to a book discussion just because it is on Canvas I can't ask for more.
As a teacher, a lot of my lessons/units were built and stored in Flash-based interactive websites.
A3 it is free, easy to use and keeps everything in one place
does anyones school district require them to use a specific format? If not how does admin keep rrack
we could try that too - I am open to new opportunities
So and I will be at be ready to talk
A4 works well little to no problems 😊
A4: I wish I had a better way to organize my lesson plans, but for now it works. Any suggestions?
A3: Google Drive is a goto for us as an edtech. When my kids use it, makes me feel they are being prepared for real life.
A4: I would like see more people jump on board in my district to see the ease and benefits
Great question. https://t.co/cts90oj65K
does anyones school district require them to use a specific format? If not how does admin keep rrack
A4: System works well but I am constantly changing it and making improvements as new things come up!
I am starting a book club/chat using Canvas so Ss can discuss books they are reading this summer.
A4: the system works fantastic, my updating not so much... More cocktail napkin that reference Drive files ;-)
A4 it worked well. Ss, Ts, Ps knew assignment. no excuses poossible either. Open Communication = productive class!
My student engagement went through the ROOF when I started using an LMS ().
I do get the opportunity to learn a lot of systems for sure. We grow by learning so that explains my weight. :-)
A4 I like my system. I co-teach, so I share A LOT of LPs & other docs. Also great to work offline when interwebs goes down.
A4: We are transitioning to Genesis so teachers put their Docs links in this system. Some like it, others don't.
A4: Seriously, though, it’s fantastic. Drive makes for easy updates, sharing with colleagues/supervisor, etc.
A4 is so easy to organize with folders, share, collaborate, etc. I have not experienced anything better.
what?!? You and although on wait list
A4-Updating word files all the time and printing them over again is annoying. I should be more efficient with technology.
A4) Well sadly, I'm no longer in CR. So since I only collab w/1 person, it works *fantastically*! 😂 https://t.co/ssgnI2Ciy8
A4: Our initiative has been successful because Canvas has been so easy to use.

So if I go to I will see you?!
And don’t forget the evil ~prefixed word files….
Totally have learned so much from teachers like all of you on Twitter.
Did you still want to carpool with me to on July 11?
A4: We have had problems with OneDrive. JH students don't fully understand the cloud.
A5 I ❤️ and OneDrive. works well for what I need. Always wonder if we use it all to its full potential
We look at tech skills being used by businesses today & integrate tools that teach Ss those skills.
A4 is great bc we can post lp, online assignments, notes, PowerPoints, grades, etc. for Ss Ps and other Ts
Why connecting so crucial “: Totally have learned so much from teachers like all of you on Twitter. ”
Publisher is great for formatting but not having easy access to it anywhere/any time is a draw back. I plan to move it to Drive
A4 I ❤️ and OneDrive. works well for what I need. Always wonder if we use it all to its full potential
Yeah, we just have to click import grades and they are imported.
Google Drive has helped with organization of documents and lesson plans.
Granted, with all of these cloud syncing services (I run 4), you can kill your data on hotspot! Close them on hotspot!
Canvas has way more features than Google Classroom.
Q5 coming up in 1 minute…
More is useful only if you USE it all. Most Ts don't!
Anyone in headed to to on 7/8 in DC?
A3: GoogleDocs allows the teacher & student to share/respond to work without carrying multiple journals home
So true!!! That was a selling point for Canvas. It could do everything.

A4 we can share calendars, videos, audio, etc. on
A5: That I learn how to create them so I can help my teachers when they need to integrate tech and can give them a detailed plan
Ts, where do you do most of your work? How is your access? https://t.co/qU2BEcAfe5
Granted, with all of these cloud syncing services (I run 4), you can kill your data on hotspot! Close them on hotspot!
A5: they have to be portable and easily organized. Collab would be nice, too.
A5 nothing to do with lesson plans. I have a loooong tech wish list. Remodeling & moving comp lab this summer.
I hope someone can't go so I can!
A5: That there is a way to type in a specific lesson you want to teach and it shows all the different ways to teach it
I am a fan, use it w/Ss, for proj, :) Lesson Plans, like spontaneity, led Ss lead
A5 More materials for my Makerspace and more time with Ss to be able to explore. I only get them for 45 mins a week.
just offer some clam pizza and distract him to take his ticket
Q5 I wish was more searchable for files and links with the folders I've created
This would be a *dream*. https://t.co/ziXgVGxtHd
A5: That there is a way to type in a specific lesson you want to teach and it shows all the different ways to teach it
That is a big wish! To find a system and format to last!

A5: Uniformity and Portability
A5 I wish was more searchable for files and links within the resources folders I've created
A5) Wish more tech sites came w/strength, robustness of LMS - would ❤️ to create qz, etc. w/o LMS https://t.co/NURbzBBC5q
Right now, I am happy with Google Docs. I enjoy making templates for both myself and teachers newly trying it out.
A5 a connection to a list of the standards that you can click and then add all the extras... saves time! Which has
