3 likes in 30 seconds? Gonna be a speed reading night!
Got all that AND some glitter. So ready!
OMG most wonderfully geeky thing I've seen all day... And I work w !
get ready for the jump to hyperspace
Only way to top that is glitter GLUE! :-)
How many chats can I read at once? Challenge accepted!
So we need to remember both hashtags right?
I'm Joseph the T-Librarian and got my new raspberry pi and littleBits Arduino kit ready for tonight.
there will be shapes of ice slides & forms of otters
Yes please! Care for those characters carefully! :-) https://t.co/R1ywkKNKHF
So we need to remember both hashtags right?
Yes! This! Pack more into those remaining characters! Tweet more often! https://t.co/AblK60aTjA
So we need to remember both hashtags right?

Hi Mary-we have 4-5 inches so far. So not much yet. But it's really cold!
Q2 isn't too far off, we just wanted folks to have breathing room to get acclimated to the double tag/shorter tweet
A1: Author, professional learning leader and salsa dancer from CA.
I was just thinking the same thing about changing my handle. Just not IAErin for me.
hmmm… w/ the snow and all thing winter how abt https://t.co/KK4HergTFq
A1. Steve, PK-5 principal in Charlottesville, VA, bracing for 12"+ of snow... Need to develop my new handle.
I heard somewhere that designers love constraints.
That's a beautifully inspiring one! @ courageouscatalyst
I don’t know how anyone lives north of Tennessee Just sounds miserable 1to1techat
If that doesn't get a I don't know what does
Absolutely! Nothing inspires creativity more than constraints!
A1: Maybe if it was available.
A1 Matt from Appleton WI, HS principal
A1: Nicole from Atlanta learning and innovation nds
No snow here in Seattle! But dark 4pm-8am...
Inner city and terrible weather. I'm a glutton for punishment 😀
Welcome @ burningcandleatbothends! :-) Great to have friends in the house!
A2: Creating an original product to explain a complicated concept or fix a problem
A2: stop thinking, stop talking, start doing!!
A2: Making ideas concrete & having something that could be tested (even if only by the maker).
This is why I was intrigued at the topic, I have no idea where you're going with this one.
A2) If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. It’s where grit meets production with a dusting of “A-HA’s”.
Joining late! From SF Bay Area. I love my current handle! :)
Reminder to all folks tonight to use both for our special mashup btw two Twitter chats!
A2: Discovery, growth through experimentation,design,play, creation...that leads to more discovery, growth, creation
A2: p2l to me means failing fast, early, and often and trying again, not for correctness but for understanding
A2 User-critiqued prototypes help the designer learn more about user & design
A2: searching for a more effective means to connect w/Ss
A2: making, designing, doing, to start, accelerate or promote the learning process
A2 For me everything is a prototype Always open 4 iteration I try 2 learn from everything I do.
A2) You're never done/perfect... Any thought, product, or process is always just one version or step along the way.
A2 prototype, feedback, learn, iterate, try again. It's a cycle, must have to innovate.
A2: It IS NOT: one right answer.
A2: learning through the process of discovery and iteration
A2 I see it as making, then intentional reflecting on what's working & not working via trying & fdbk
A2: Fail, get back up. Adapt. Repeat.
A2: A prototype to me would be something original waiting to be tested. It the first try at something.
A2: Experimenting w/what may or may not be possible, to find out more about your user or the problem being solved
Hey I saw that you teased abt So where are you now?
Way to jump in with both feet. Welcome!
A2: Understood the first is not the last, but surely will inspire better, another, more
love how you dropped Grit!
. When we try things out & let rough drafts/experiments breathe, we open up more possible solutions
Love this focus on students as your user!
A2: Prototype to learn means constant redesign both tangible and in ur mind. Nothing is every finished!
A2: not settling w/what got us here
Intentional reflection- "intentional" is crucial!
A1 Shelley from Atlanta. I learn with K-4 learners and teachers.
A2: I would also add constant reflection...of yourself, the process, the needs, the user...all of it.
Dang this is a good night. Someone better storify this. ...
A2: Don't plan to perfection. Listen. Create. Listen. Iterate. Listen. Iterate. Rinse. Repeat.
. and I reckon you can wangle several prototypes were you try radical/diff approaches environ cr8s opps
a2: isn't life just a constant state of prototyping?
I guess I envisioned the shared part for someone to test. I always told my son he was my prototype. (LOL)
Agreed! There's a sort of fearlessness about experimenting and learning from results https://t.co/mGuejj3ZP9
A2: give it a whirl and see what works, then fix accordingly
I love this! Get something out there - thoughtfully, but do it & then... https://t.co/k3QkBnNt5m
A2: Don't plan to perfection. Listen. Create. Listen. Iterate. Listen. Iterate. Rinse. Repeat.
And I gotta remember to stick both on there -- for tonight!
If you're doing it right, it is IMHO. :-) https://t.co/Izs8HKBUzP
a2: isn't life just a constant state of prototyping?
. I agree. What works for one group in a certain setting might not work with others, etc. https://t.co/ytHDfBUOWO
A2) You're never done/perfect... Any thought, product, or process is always just one version or step along the way.
A2: had gr8 fireside chat w/DK on this.can talk & plan &talk&.. means nothing.Jump in & do,cr8!
Agree. There should be a continuous Need to Know-Learned--Need to Know cycle.
a2: love this question! everything is a p-type and with a culture of collaboration and critique, group drives individual forward
I say so Perfection is over rated & nothing is a finished product IMO
Is your head spinning? No worries 1) We archive this chat each week. 2) Pick one thread/conversation & just follow it
Trying to turn around and reimagine an inner city high school for s learning is my definition of prototyping to learn
So many new friends: Love that I have new peeps to follow. Yay!
Love that graphic, feel strongly that reflection is a huge piece to empathy!
perfection is the end of the journey
A2 debrief instead of mini lesson. Build something- what did you learn from your materials?
. I dig Prototype to Learn bc fuses design & making w academic land of school & stuff
Exactly why we need to rethink how we grade students on projects. Are we growing or finished?
speak for yourself. ;-) i'm done. it gets no better than this. *points to self*
A2 continued: It's an attitude of sorts. You've a bias toward action, and are ready to learn from success or failure
… or is it individual drives group forward? Hell, what I mean is iterations with feedback is just good https://t.co/aPz1AUd65m
a2: love this question! everything is a p-type and with a culture of collaboration and critique, group drives individual forward
Thanks! It's what my school calls its "Immersion Method"
Kyle, you are hilarious. :-)
Learning from materials - love https://t.co/l0B8WFmv5U
A2 debrief instead of mini lesson. Build something- what did you learn from your materials?
For sure. Exceeding expectation should be focus/goal.
would love more details on that!
That's just what I was thinking. I'm pressing that follow button like a buzzer at Jeopardy.
I really like the term. Well done.
Agree! Well said. Empathy is at the heart of learning
You are speaking the great verbiage growth in learning
love it! I try to remind myself of this all the time!!
Absolutely. Well said. https://t.co/zrDtqI0TII
Prototype to learn also means don't procrastinate for perfection. Get started and learn via iterations. dtk12chat
I need someone to make a list for me!! I can't keep up but I want to follow all the peeps
We designed that "definition" last year for how we want to do school. I should be sharing more soon...
Embodying this spirit is imperative,growth mindset-lrn from experience,we must share journey https://t.co/c45XqT59rS
A2 continued: It's an attitude of sorts. You've a bias toward action, and are ready to learn from success or failure
Really like this. Our goal should be to teach s's to get started early
Perfectionism... grrrrr! Had/Have terrible bouts with that stuff. >:-( https://t.co/b0rUBCDmOM
Prototype to learn also means don't procrastinate for perfection. Get started and learn via iterations. dtk12chat
I was thinking the same things. I also was thinking, don't tell my hubby. He thinks Im perfect.
ahh--once again missing -- I need to figure out how to participate more than once every 6 months
A3 With Ss, grades make an impact - summative vs formative, growth/reflection vs other
protype also has a sense of seeing progress occur and heavy reflection to alter for the circumstance
This sounds like such a great way to encourage collaboration as well.
A3 Intent behind Q3 tonight is get folks talking practice; My Ss can revise as many times as possible on ALL things
YES! I had a IFTTT for this but I think I broke it.
A3: I've said it b4, make an ass of myself. B silly, b playful, b real, make mistakes, b vulnerable, b transparent!
A3: start w/effective feedback lang. and cultivate a culture of feedback. I like I wish what if
A3: Really focusing on reflection as a step in developing best product. Portfolios of learning/research
Sounds like you're still iterating on it Joseph :)
A3) Be willing to make a giant leap forward and then fail publicly. Have humility to show failure, & strength to fight again.
It's cool - I only play once every 3 and they still show me love ;-)
fostering a pculture w/my t's learning by doing: are currently learning audio/video production 3D printers &more
A3 B the 1st 2 fail fall stumble screw up Repeat & Dont hide it Find confidence N setbacks Remove the hierarchy & ego
Why I love which I think is gonna help us on
A3 permission to fail is huge first step
A3: Biggest way is being thoughtful with the words I use with Ss. Encourage growth mindset & independent thinking.
that's because they are an awesome community
Maybe the hardest thing for Ts to do...give up a little control of what's happening and how it might happen.
what does that process look like, does more practice take place before next retake?
I have a feeling my brain is really going to hurt by the end of this chat Thanks for sharing.
This is good for Ss, Ts and all school team members! Embrace the mindset! https://t.co/mSRtZ4GY4r
A3 B the 1st 2 fail fall stumble screw up Repeat & Dont hide it Find confidence N setbacks Remove the hierarchy & ego
of course! I haven't been in a while either but it's so great to be back!
A3 lead by example: celebrate failures, find the positives and make it public. Go tell it from the MNT
Yep. I know it well. That's why a Twitter chat rocks, no time for perfectionism!
A3: I takes risks myself. I show Im not perfect. I don't grade anything except SA, so my Ss are willing to try & try
Gotta run and pick up the ballerina... Good night, friends!
yes and help Ss seek out feedback from peers. create a safe place for growth through feedback/reflection
A3: By modeling it for my students. I do lots of pet prjcts 2 build my own skills, & always share my process
right!? It's not much of a prototype if it is just a lifeless lump tossed to side
For sure. Pper evaluation should also be an ingredient for growth/revision.
. How do you celebrate failures in your school/classroom, Michael? Tips for folks playing at home?
A3: We move emphasis from end to process,learning journey,story of creation.Power in that & it includes oops/awesome.
A3: Model, model, model, and model. As a leader, it's my job to show both that it's ok & that it rocks .
a3: rapid p-type / critique loops in motion, create the atmosphere of play, competition = social play https://t.co/43OkDYpmpt
YES and replace fear of humiliation with humility
A3 Asking for feedback early and often supports the idea that no one has all the answers, everyone iterates
Agree with this - especially about repeating and finding confidence during the progression
https://t.co/GGzhoYldJP
A3 B the 1st 2 fail fall stumble screw up Repeat & Dont hide it Find confidence N setbacks Remove the hierarchy & ego
A3: Encourage answers that I wasn't expecting & Qs that encourage creative responses.
Peeps R always up 4 a convo 24/7 the 1 hr missed doesn’t remove U from the tribe
A3: I also try to have lots of previous student projects around. It helps them see growth & fosters innovation
Ss and Ts need to see it's okay to fail (thinking specifically about tech). Failed today w/4th graders; it was fine.
Always sharing w/ Ss & Ts especially admitting that I don't know yet. Makes them feel more comfortable.
And if I had my way, I wouldn't grade a thing. I would just provide feedback! https://t.co/piC606FHwZ
A3: I takes risks myself. I show Im not perfect. I don't grade anything except SA, so my Ss are willing to try & try
A3: encouragement to try new things- all learners could use this to kickstart a growth mindset & prototype mindset
LOVE LOVE LOVE the notion of “everyone iterates”!!! https://t.co/SOFUJSN1T4
A3 Asking for feedback early and often supports the idea that no one has all the answers, everyone iterates
our A3s sound kinda similar. ;)
Agree. Modeling this mindset and willingness to innovate is best way to get s's to buy in.
We should write a children's book or something... ;-)
A3 Transitioning to PBE eval to target standards, assess often, target where to improve, make baby steps
You can do those things on a Chromebook? :)
I feel that's what grading should be. It can be, yes?
A3: Helping to provide opportunities for Ss to make things that may not work & That being OK.
& it makes about process & not "trying hard" Often "fail fast" is said but what is designed is reflection
Yes! There are few things more powerful for a student than seeing their own teacher learn!
You have advanced EdTech teachers at your school too?
A3: find the value in all efforts. and ask how can WE improve this? or now what can we do with this?
A3) I keep my hands OFF kids' projects. Independence. Also often start w limited materials and expand over iterations
A3: YES YES YES Model a willingness to try things out and to fail exuberantly. And be a meddler in the middle.
Or just do a -style parody of that REM classic.
I find its the best way 2 learn 4 me Gosh know I find myself failing more yet gaining more than ever
Watching Teachers play/learn/prototype together for own growth is a must before culture can change in classroom
A3 teach that mindset: Ss have to get back to divergent thinking away from the consumer sit get & spit https://t.co/zPaN9DnuPQ
A3 permission to fail is huge first step
As long as we can get away from assigning a grade, yes! Grades stop the learning process!
love sharing at public school wide events, make it an award of sorts
A3: We don't fail when we mess up, we fail when we quit trying <- Live that.
Trying to control every bit of learning that happens in a classroom is just about the worst thing we can do.
A3: Calls to ? purpose of feedback-support growth or halt?Inspire movement or retire progress?
HMW use grades to guide learning, not end it?
. That's pretty much what we do!
Since I'm self-taught in Video editing I always told Ss to dream big & we'll figure it out together.
Now you're just talking crazy.
A4: It's as easy as a CAMERA plus a stern admonition to NEVER delete the "mess ups." Show me your growth/development!
A3: Have a celebration of sorts regarding "failed" prototypes. Something that recognizes that learning still occurred
we're prototyping an idea from first challenge called feedforward forum
If they were always open to change that's a start - but then there's always a ceiling...
. oh I dig that; like tell a story of your crash & burn & what you took away from it?
A4: Google Forms/Google Docs--S's share portfolios/research notes. Great for offering feedback w/o a ton of "grading"
A3: I blog on oops/awesome, works/didn't my journey is transparent.
Finally a I can speak to!!! Check that off my bucket list, baby! https://t.co/wMlxTFPrjl
. oh I dig that; like tell a story of your crash & burn & what you took away from it?
A4 hmmm Padlet, google doc? Nothing really 2B honest Whiteboard, Paper, Sharpie F2F, getting hands busy on materials
Ahhh meant what is desired is reflection-learning takes place AFTER mistake & is why process is important
Not sure what you mean. I don't grade HMW at all. Nothing Formative gets a grade. Just feedback!
use proficiency scales w "I can statements" Focus on what a child can do and let Ss set growth goals
"Dream big and figure it out" sums up my approach to life and learning.
A4: for me it's basic- Twitter and a camera! And now our new ePortfolios, which I'm super pumped about
A4: Google Forms for Peer Evals of projects, group contributions of individuals, etc. Immediate feedback.
A4) Google Docs are my top 4
I guess I cheat: my one class gives grades that aren't ever set until the term ends.
I totally agree on the limitations regarding materials! Forces a focus on true needs https://t.co/WC46RsdFAN
A3) I keep my hands OFF kids' projects. Independence. Also often start w limited materials and expand over iterations
feedforward is a both a physical & digital space to share "failures" & seek feedforward from colleagues
! https://t.co/0lLxlS1Evz
As long as we can get away from assigning a grade, yes! Grades stop the learning process!
Sorry, it's a thing: HMW = How might we :)
Also really like the work and resources I'm seeing from
a4: google docs, forms, and sheets.
Agreed! A scale to balance, watch tip, support and assist in recovery. Learning can be brutal
love this- perhaps a new display case!!
What platform do you use for the eportfolios? I keep chickening out...
A4: SeeSaw with Younger Ss & GAFE with older Ss.
I know that culture, for sure. Good to remember culture can be changed. :)
Eng Ts almost ignores all vocab work until Ss write original sentences w/ vocab. Top of Blooms
A4: I was going to say something like this... Nothing better than notepads/wallspace/paper for designing
A4: CAMERA! I take pics of my writing notes, , googledocs, blog...
A4. I am loving the newer features on Paper for prototyping; wish I had more iPads for my Ss
yep, who had the biggest flop, then what did you do. Put it all out there
A4: I'm a HUGE & fan. Adding audio tracks = Ss narrate process + Ts give audio feedback.
Sorry. I don't even know what the means, so...;(
awesome! so important 4 Ss to own their projects (& others to understand this is what __ grade work looks like)
Fail Whale! broke Twitter! If you want, rapid prototype a new mascot 4 failure & post a pic! https://t.co/nj0ZBv8UkM
A4: Hmm. That's an interesting Q. Depends on the purpose, and depends on the product. I'm not a "tool" guy, though.
For sure! Especially ones w/ color.
A4) We have been using a bit... Awesome tool! I hope can take it full-scale :-)
A4: ePortfolio is great digital tool for giving/receiving feedback but our most popular tool is the trusty post-it.
Did you say audio feedback?! Be still, my heart https://t.co/upoVzwPPZn
A4: I'm a HUGE & fan. Adding audio tracks = Ss narrate process + Ts give audio feedback.
. And wondering what digital solutions ppl use to manage/keep track/keep sane if any
+1 It is wonderful to see Ts at the beginning of the process instead several iterations in. https://t.co/qP19HXtl97
A3: I blog on oops/awesome, works/didn't my journey is transparent.
just downloaded it last week- was inspired by Tweets
A4 touchcast, audioboom, & blab
This is my first year with it. My K/1st Gr DT group loves it & Ps seem to also. Very Easy!
One way is to allow redos, or retakes. Long process there, but it works.
Got my pencil for Christmas, & Ts getting introduced to sketchnoting
Grateful I didn't have grades K-8. Lrned early to work for purpose, not letters or numbers.
OOooh... that looks interesting - gotta check it out. Thanks!
has a most spectacular failure award for tech challenge -My Ss were thrilled
I agree w/you completely. Lots of thoughtful choice by student and teacher in the learning design stages
I mentioned earlier Google Docs for Portfolios is great.
a4: there are soooo many great tools and workflows to help Ts and Ss that it's insane to not try something different
I always want more time to get super comfortble w it; getting there
yeah! and getting that voice from outside the classroom community has wicked positive drive effects https://t.co/B43anM1drL
feedforward is a both a physical & digital space to share "failures" & seek feedforward from colleagues
That's a very difficult shift for Ts to make. Does admin support this, or really drive this?
YES! 1) You don't have to write all your detailed feedback 2) They actually LISTEN & IMPROVE! https://t.co/tMqrIMpN0i
Did you say audio feedback?! Be still, my heart https://t.co/upoVzwPPZn
A4: I'm a HUGE & fan. Adding audio tracks = Ss narrate process + Ts give audio feedback.
A4: Would be cool to get a list of all these apps, tools, etc!
We do that in - one time saver is to make them highlight, reflect on changes
A4 Mostly for my own testing to see if i have the skill to transfer usage of tech, no many opportunities
Yep. And we need to feel comfortable enough to let Ss explore & choose their own tools. Not always easy.
The pencil is on my wish list!
I was going to show them my awful attempts -
what is the process that you use to create consistency?
a slow transition partly due to the availability and willingness of ALL staff to join the movement to tech
I'm loving my Chromebook cart this year. I have 32 that I have at my disposal. Jealous?
Sometimes, if we look for them, we can wedge this mindset in the cracks.
Q5: How might digital portfolios of a Ss's prototyping process serve as evidence of learning? https://t.co/FwkrtEy400
I need the pencil. Hello Amazon?
Ummm...neither. Not sure they even know. (and some of my colleagues disagree that I do!)
In that course we just keep doing it, every day. Consistency comes from being consistent. ;P
A4: would be fun to add "3 failed attempts" to badging criteria so Ss would have to take some risks
happy! glad another groups of Ss get to see the benefits of the chromebook. 32 is better than 31
I got to play with the iPad Pro & Apple Pencil last week…
A5: love this idea 4 so many reasons!
Now THIS is a badge I could get down on! https://t.co/SGJCV0fENN
A4: would be fun to add "3 failed attempts" to badging criteria so Ss would have to take some risks
YES! PLEASE COME! Also, I'm presenting it at in 2 wks. :)
A5: Every student, every single one should have a place online where they can share and store their learning.
can we generate prototypes for rebrand of "fail?"
A5 self reflection built into eportfolios, true marker of learning. ATM (acquire, make meaning, transfer)
A5: Regular reflection on how far s's have come is big for understanding purpose of process/lessons/projects.
A5 (cont.): The space doesn't have to be the same for all, but nonetheless there should be that space.
That is awesome. - take note.
A5 Love platform as a way 2curate prototypes Plus love their skillchallenges & turn 2wards Usability N classroom
A5 Curmudgeon answer, but for 1, it saves T from negative audience response to final products (b/c they see growth)
A5: Prototype Process is exactly what we should see in Ss portfolio. Demonstrating growth
A5: Ss can provide fbck 2 other Ss & reflect on their own journey. (I'm thinking "progress" may not B the right word.
A5: portfolios give stdts & teachers snapshots of learning over time to reflect on growth/opport for more learning
went 1:1 this yr: I'll see ur 32 & raise u 250! 'tgettobragsomuch
A5 cont'd: Understanding purpose equals buy in from students and engagement.
Reminds me of districts that buy domains and initial hosting spaces for Ss upon graduation https://t.co/s22LOEPc7z
A5: Every student, every single one should have a place online where they can share and store their learning.
A5: Publishing, reflecting, sharing process-capturing journey. This HONORS journey opposed to glorifying "perfection"
A5: If someone can explain the WHYs behind the differences in the iterations, I'd say learning is clearly evident.
Good to hear you're 1 of us. I thought you were in some kind of hippy commune or something.
A5: This is one of those conversations where schools (specifically) skew too far to conformity w/regards to tool.
! https://t.co/PgV2UTw4v6
A5: Publishing, reflecting, sharing process-capturing journey. This HONORS journey opposed to glorifying "perfection"
I think places that provide those spaces for Ss are awesome, but want Ss to have a say in the space.
Edu can/shld support & help ss create/make the place. This can/shld happen IN school. https://t.co/85uBwHDHoF
A5: Every student, every single one should have a place online where they can share and store their learning.
a5: documenting unforeseen outcomes, situated learning happening on the way to the product, critical! https://t.co/1upqfgdc7e
Q5: How might digital portfolios of a Ss's prototyping process serve as evidence of learning? https://t.co/FwkrtEy400
A5: We emphasize that Google Drive can hold ANY digital files (not just Google Birthed ones). Pix? Keynotes? Yup.
A5-I have no idea--provide a bank of mistakes made, successes achieved, things to share?
It is such a great practice
has some great posts & I believe a new book re: this
we are using google sites for a lot of projects. we are hoping to try out with a grade or two.
Agree. And, help Ss find the space that's right for them, even if that means different for many kids.
agreed which is why I'm not advocating for that particular answer alone; it's that fwd thinking I dig
A5) Dynamic (not static); can be stackable (increasing in depth & complexity over time); & (nearly) infinite storage.
My s's use Weebly for Rsrch Blogs that is t run, but that exp. can help them create thr own
I was hoping you'd find that Mary! Couldn't fit in there :)
agreed. Breaking through old paradigm. Creating steps to get everybody there
any? yes! ANY file that is digital should be uploaded to drive at some point.
How did I know was going to enter the equation when we started talking ?
Having a recognition of time, and the growth/learning that occurs over it, is critical for learners
YES! agree-not a one size fits all, but individualized. https://t.co/niP8DfKOea
Agree. And, help Ss find the space that's right for them, even if that means different for many kids.
I'm a principal &I support this shift-Brought to U by Principals Can Lead Change Too!
Now THAT'S a Fail Whale redesign!
A5: Include stop motion and/or time-lapse movies in digital portfolios. Works incredibly well and Ss love making them
The problem is, it's harder for teachers and schools. But, "what's best for kids?"
Why we show up: to learn. :)
Love last paragraph! How early identify dept focus?
A5 at a certain point (possibly as habits form) Ss shld have autonomy on curation of work ie. forum, platform
a5 ask - how could it not show learning.
