Run by Iowa educators, #IAedchat is on Twitter the first, second, and third Sundays each month at 8:00pm CST. We have added #IAedchat LIVE to the fourth Sunday of the month at 8:00pm CST. This will take place in Google Hangout on Air. We will share the invitation and link to #IAedchat LIVE each month.
A1: I love to attend conferences, workshops, classes, and catch up on reading. I love summer for the fact that the pace is slightly slower and I have the time to catch up and breathe a bit more than during the school year. #iaedchat
A1 This summer I am reading about formative assessment and grading These two areas I feel are two areas of change in education the next couple years #IAedChat
A1: I use the summer to read the books I don't get to in the school year, I like to attend conferences so I don't have to miss school, and I bring a lot of my classroom home so I can improve upon it. #iaedchat
A1: I love reading professional books and having the time to reflect at a slower pace in the summer time. Currently reading Brain Rules by John Medina. #iaedchat
A1: Connecting and learning at conferences, digging into books, and social media. I love having the time and focus on digging deep into books! #iaedchat
A1. I like looking at programs from conferences put out by different educational professional groups(ILA,NCTM,ASCD) to see what is being discussed at the national level. #iaedchat
A1 - attending some professional training and taking time to read all of the amazing professional books I've ordered from Amazon over the course of the school year! #IAedChat
Reading, reading, reading! During the summer I dive into books, resources, and coursework, immersing myself. Summertime nnotations and notes then resonate with me and my work throughout the school year. #IAedChat#ProDriven
A2: I will admit I am not a regular follower of blogs, but I do tend to read the ones on Twitter. I have been looking up Reagan Tunstall's blog as I am trying to implement her guided math resources. #iaedchat
In my weekly staff bulletin, I send links to and reflections on different blogs out there and these tend to be my go-to ones among others mentioned. #IAedChat
A2 I enjoy blogs that hit the personal side of teaching I really am motivated by blogs by @ChouinardJahant & @StantonAlana These two ladies really make you think about teaching and life #IAedChat
A1: #IAedchat I try to go to the American Library Association meeting each summer. Not only do I learn a lot, but it is energizing. I also check out professional titles from GWAEA to read.
A3: Aside from our #iaedchat podcast, I am a fan of @ASCD Learn, Teach, Lead as well as @TrnFrmPrincipal by @jethrojones. Again, there are more but these rise to the top.

A6: I spend time with my family at our family lake house, I play with my kids, my wife and I have date nights, and I try to be fully present as much as possible because the demands are a bit lighter during summer. #iaedchat
A6: Spent the last day and a half with my wife at Pikes Peak State Park, looking around McGregor, and just being together. We'll be empty nesters at the end of the summer, so we are excited to see what that brings! :) #iaedchat
A6 Taking time to decompress, enjoy experiences with family & friends, disconnecting digital when possible, and appreciating the wonders of our lives #IAedChat
A6: A week is spent in MT and Medora, ND with family. I tend to veg out in front of TV and movies. This summer is about my boys. My youngest is in the county theater and in 2 weeks traveling to NC for my older son's job shadow. Plus I have girl days with my friends. #iaedchat
A6: I spend time with my 3 children and husband. It’s so good to feel present and to “catch up”. I make time for reading, swimming in the pool, traveling, going to our family home on the Mississippi and am making time for exercising either kettlebell or swimming labs. #iaedchat

My family is just over the ND/Montana border in Glendive. They live in the badlands-my home away from home. Glaciar is way to the west across MT. I would never turn down a trip to anywhere in MT. East=badlands West=Mountains Win/Win. #IAedChat
