Coach Ben-Jamin from Salinas, CA repping , checking in late.
That's awesome, Debbie! F2F time is the MOST impt.
A1- I haven't started this years yet but I love the writing project. I broke it up n2 weekly lessons b4 the big write
We just switched so I can participate on thanks
A1 Discovered for getting immediate feedback form group. Great for Ts and Ss!

That one never gets old! Love it.
She has a huge smile right now. 😄
A1: I have been trying out some interactive posters https://t.co/EPmT6u9CO5 with the Solar System & Character traits
any concerns of posting a blank pic that anyone can edit like that online?
My new Chem colleague is your look alike....beard and all
A1: Tweeting the of what we covered in class today as a review. Kids write it in agenda if no twitter
Great idea. Wld love to see a pic when you can!
Kids love seeing their pics in class. Make the classroom theirs
It has been very positive. 6 more elem schools to go!
Thanks for the recommendation Rachel!
A1: While student gives presentation, peers give formative feedback via google classroom w/PVLEGS rubric. https://t.co/erQ4AUnq9H
woot! Love me some dopple-ganger(sp)
After the I'll write up the steps and upload the map.
wow! Didn't think of that.
When are we getting together? We missed a summer meet-up!
A2) Appointment slots vs using a Gdoc with a table are a hot debate in my office. I prefer the simplicty of a single Table
it will create a histogram of data that is on the blank part of post it notes.
it was fun connecting for sure
A2 - Working with colleagues has become easier w/ https://t.co/ipQFtV9nFo , great when we have multiple moving targets
I know!! Life is so crazy. Will it ever slow down! Will you be at ?
A2: haha you are funny! I'm supposed to "manage" my schedule?
I'll have to check this out
Yes, got me all set up on and she got our bosses to purchase us the paid version!
A1a: Just finished making this Community Helper drag and drop for some firsties! Will be making a HyperDoc to go along!
A2 - Twitter killed my link
A2cont: Be sure to block off time for self (20% time or downtime). Important to achieve balance https://t.co/p55omrvlMo
Lots of uses. I opted for the word cloud. Ss/Ts enter words/phrases, word cloud appears.
I've been framing more of 'em this year! Gives that homey welcoming feelin'
A2: Sat down with tosa's and mapped our calendar out on Google Calendar! One calendar to rule them all!
A2) Love using appointment slots on my google calendar!
A2) Love using appointment slots on my google calendar!
Way to go. You are on a MISSION! :)
You are all sharing a single calendar?
Woot! This is on my list for next steps!
That's wonderful. Great way to continue the learning with multiple activities
A2 I use iCal connected with Google Calendar, along with good old fashion paper and pencil, bullet journaling
A2: Google calendar has worked well to coordinate grade level/dept tech schedule, encourage collaboration. https://t.co/m6lXi0cewp
Q2 Wunderlist. Sharing and assigning duties.
NICE!!! That's a great idea =)
A2- I use google calendar & scheduled lunch with a :-) so I can remember to take a moment to breath and smile
A2: Calendar Everything, then make it public if you can. It stops the "so what do you do all day" questions.
A2: Google Calendar. W/ appts! Worked well. Plus now a handwritten planner, color-coded w/stickers. Using a combo. Love it!
Join us on the group too. Ways to use it comes up every so often
Ohhhhh can't wait! Will you add it to our padlet when it's done?
Absolutely! Powerful combination
A2: app syncs all of my iOS and Google calendars; lifesaver!
haha! I did GDoc last year, this year GSlide & simple table. Doesn't expand to my liking, but making it work...
Cool! Never heard of this. Thanks for sharing =)
A2: Definitely youcanbook.me Got it from last year. Has been a life-saver. Have had 5 appts booked in 1 day! Awesome.
Yes! Putting appointments and training that all pertain to group
Yup! I am totally booked. It's awesome =)
Yes it is! I throw in people whenever I can!
Oh that's a brilliant idea, I always clear the table in my doc, but making a new slide would give me a record...
A2 We share calendars so we can find common times for mtgs. Also use youcanbook.me. Great for sharing w Ts.
There were 2 years - years ago that I used a digital picture frame that cycles thru S pics
It is very cool and so simple
We did for specific scheduling last year.
Can't wait to check this out!
A2: also posted a google calendar on class website for parents; helps with the new random-tiny-Tuesday sched.
A3: Using the district's LMS to create a go to resource for Screencasts, PD schedule and w/ help from PD sign-ups
Now if only there was a way to sync our outlook district calendar with our google calendars would be even better
I'm going to have to give credit to for that one. Learned about it from her first
yeah, new slide every week & becomes evidence of work & place to keep resources, share ideas, etc
I learned about trello this summer. Looks like a good tool!
It feels like such old tech now. Such a small screen
You'll love! So much easier for T's to schedule appointments...have to remember to delete appt slots when necessary!
Hi Rebekah! Love crossing paths... :)
I just need to sit down and put in the appoitnments!!
One of my goals this year is to find a way to use HyperDocs better in my own work
thanks for the inspiration!
I am going to start using slides rather than clearing the table in my doc for appointments. THX
So true Joe. I forgot to do that the first week and my calendar filled up so fast! I am better this week.
YAY! and I are too on Padlet =)
may help. Not sure if it syncs with outlook.
Scheduling time includes off hours or off campus. Time for self
There's a free version! You just get one calendar, but works great for me.
Ha ha ha I know. It's hard to find time =(
A3: Resources go up on our site (https://t.co/itQumlslqg ) and we curate often,making sure they are useful and relevant
Just tuning in. Love the padlet
I have to do that tomorrow. Blocking 2 hours in afternoon for a project for assessment dept that's DUE
A3: I need help with this! It is on my to-do list for this year. Currently, I have no system!
A3: Color-coding the folders in my google drive has been very helpful for organization.
TOSAChat meet up is in the works. Never fear.
A3 - Using a is the only way to go, organizable and shareable, exactly what I need
A3: I'm a T not a TOSA, so most of my things are for my Ss, have a section on my website for Tech Tools, screencasts & tutorials
No exactly time for myself but def need I interrupted time to complete project
A3: Naming conventions help a lot. Just find what works for you!
A3: I organize by topic, grade level, and color coordinate in my drive. Folders in folders in folders!
ohhh! I need to try that!
A3) A blog with updates for our T's, it's nice being able to reuse posts for the beginning of the year. https://t.co/8nhp7Js8KI
The ideas you have for Ss are just what we all need because thats who we create for in the long run
Not yet. I'm curious about how they work.
thats genius! so simple and I never even thought of doing that
A2: I love Google Keep to make lists and reminders. Not a calendar, but definitely helps with tasks, ideas, lists.
A3: I try to make specific folders for each category on my computer. But I need to put some in GoogleDocs for backup
My downtime has been video games in the afternoons. :)
I really should do that. But then I would need to put everything in folders first...
A3: Color-coding works for me! (Can you tell I was a kindergarten teacher at one point?) ;) https://t.co/sue26pIa6I
I send the links to fellow Ts too :) they work for everyone, I guess
Wow! Crazy early. Bedtime must be early. Thanks 4 being w us now
I love color coding the folders on my desktop and in my google drive- useful & fun to look at
I have to start doing this! My drive is a mess!
A3 Combo of folders in Drive (and subfolders within) and for crowd sourced goodies like .
Wow, so pretty!! I wish I was that organized!
I keep meaning to use it. I have it but forget about still.
We did it last year and the kids loved it. Made starting the unit easy =)
I get to where its really good and then school starts and.........
I do the same. The colors help me find things quickly!
I may not always use the info sent to me, but I ALWAYS appreciate the info that is shared!
Yes! Running for me. Helps clear mind & process thru thoughts
I like the sound of this. I vote Tahoe, btw, Kelly. :)
A3: Every useful thing I see on Twitter, I email to my personal - education Gmail then organize, share, revisit, use, etc.
Sounds like a persuasive essay is in the works
I need to check this out. Quick descrip of what it does?
I have been trying to do both. Getting more exercise and consistent bedtime! More h2o too
kinda like hashtags, but I don't think it will group my tweets like I imagine I want it to!
That's what I'm trying to practice and learn - so much to offer
Ha ha ha yes we need a tahoe meetup too!!!
I have learned tons from video games 4sure
love it! My calendars are all color coded; need to do this too!
A3: Using GClassroom for Training/Resources this year. Also GCal... love that I can add relevant materials & share
Me too, but I am definitely a pile person not a file person...I have gotten really good at searching for my stuff.
Nice layout! Thanks for sharing
Love your fsdtechtips!!! So cool!
The looks I get from Ts when I show them my Keep.
A3.b We LOVE the curation tool from for our chats! So great for sharing!
I would TOTALLY fly in. Have a bestie there PLUS meeting all of you?! Heaven!
the nested folders in my GDrive are crazy!!! Some go like 10 deep
I gave out sticker for the first time in maybe 10 yrs this week...HS kids loved it!!
I've used an iOS app called Mail to Self for that purpose
I started using this year to help with project management
Ooh, super cool. Thx Ryan. Been meaning to check out. Now putting on my list!
THANKS! Inspired by and his slides!
NICE! meetup needs to be during the conf since I have to head home right after =(
do they still have a free version, Ryan?
yep, love ! 😍 Thanks for the resource.
Totally love it. Works for my brain. Colleagues see it and want to run away. :)
Something I want to explore
Just spreading the love from
Of course I refuse to share anything that has $$ cost
I'm with you on the H2o. Had to nix the coffee for awhile.
happy to share. Have trained a couple of groups on it. The crew loves it.
Has helped my reaction time
A3: Keep meaning to try GoogleKeep...haven't taken the plunge yet.
A bit off topic, but does anyone use blenspace? Just started toying with it and it's connection to Google Classroom. Thoughts?
Maybe there's an app for Android too
Q4 - I stopped making presentations for PD and spent more plan focused on interactive PD,
I keep thinking it will bring up all my tweets in one location, but it's everyone w same sticker
Can't wait to check this out!
I still need to work on my desktop organization. Looks like a battle field of files.
do it! I love it! Lists for everything, and I have them everywhere I go!
A4: Making them interactive and having something for them to leave with. Either digital resource or something they created.
you should! It would be great to get more out of state TOSAChat peeps there!
. Most excited about the fact that google keep has location based reminders!
it really is great. I have used it with walkthroughs to add pictures and captions. Also good for to do lists.
A4: I always try to jot names & ways to connect prez to participants in order to personalize https://t.co/aFdcWZEZ3F
If I see to many individual docs showing up I find a pattern and create a quick folders to dump the docs N2
Always strive for something they created!
A4: More pictures, less words on screen. People can't read and listen @ same time. Make it easier to hear what you say
you will love it if you use it on all your devices. Google Keep replaced "Notes" for me on iPhone.
A4: Nothing beats give-aways! Did PDs on and gave away little monsters. Huge Hit! Even admin loved them.
I'll show you sometime, April! :)
A4 I always my PD, play music, add in a TON of exploration time, and have a for sharing resources!
A4: I try to make them more "make and take" so they experience and play with whatever tool I am presenting on
I do have a lot of folders LOL
Your a pro at that forsure
A4: When using google slides, new question/answer feature allows teachers to see & experience this tool in action.
A4: Living by the motto, "Less is more!"
I can't stand a messy desktop. Everything in a folder for me!
Oh, like the Saddle Ranch location tweets from last night. I noticed that.
A4 What just said https://t.co/4GHxwZYnBK
A4 I always my PD, play music, add in a TON of exploration time, and have a for sharing resources!
A4) My secret is to have as little as possible to present and let them use the time to create and curate.
A3 I use to save tweets, articles, etc. for future reading. Problem is finding/making time to revisit.
Yes! Really working on supporting the independence piece this year.
Thats my problem, by the time I go back I have too many to read
thanks! I didn't realize that the arrow would "pulse" 😀 cool.
A4: Using for PD models the interactivity teachers can experience w/students in classroom.
too bad there isn't an emoji of
A4: include videos to drive a point home. People believe it more when it is "not only you" saying/showing the point of the preso.
Thanks Ben. A technique I've used for years after thinking of how I would like that as a participant
A4: try to always get the kids up to model, be active and learn through doing; humor is good too!
A4: Being my weird, nerdy self. Ha! And overcoming my hesitation w/ Google Slides. It's not PowerPoint.
A4: Add in multi-media, videos, images, sound effects. Anything to keep their interest and keep it novel
makes it more personal for sure
I’m joint late, but this sounds very interesting!
A great tip for sure https://t.co/nUqXihFqt6
A4: Being my weird, nerdy self. Ha! And overcoming my hesitation w/ Google Slides. It's not PowerPoint.
A4: Finding images/video (less text), raffles & give-aways & prizes, time to play/create
My new philosophy is just share & share...no motive or jealousy! For the team & community
A3 is another great resource. Lets you find relevant articles your PLN has liked/retweeted. Learned abt from friends!
Q4 Adding interactive activities. Poll Everywhere, Quizlet live, Kahoot and videos.
Struggle with this. Slidedeck is a resource for take home. So I need words but too many words during PD is no good.
A4: PD w/interactive digital stations where teachers go to become experts at topic of their choice. Then let them teach peers.
A4: I also like to use animations and transitions. I will show the animations over and over and the kids love it.
is awesome. I tell students it’s like a digital board for post-it notes, only better.
Ahhh YES! Prizes!! Prizes and food are a must =) https://t.co/UHU4i4pwz4
A4: Finding images/video (less text), raffles & give-aways & prizes, time to play/create
Seriously. Just tried to find one that could fit.
I like that it syncs with my phone so when I'm out at campuses, I can quickly add a need, question, etc.
I always over plan, sometimes you just need to prioritize your list and cut yourself off. T's need time to apply.
a good notion for great leadership
How could I forget about chocolate, Karly??! https://t.co/i0DI49PAeB
Ahhh YES! Prizes!! Prizes and food are a must =) https://t.co/UHU4i4pwz4
A4: Finding images/video (less text), raffles & give-aways & prizes, time to play/create
Liking tweets wasn't working 4 me either. Try . You can create categories + tag for easy ref later.
PD is my goal for this year. I think it will be great, but I'm nervous.
it's all in the delivery! Lots of interaction not talking at them
A4: make sure that, by the end the Ss have had a chance to add their own stamp to it. Let them edit something on the slides.
A4- finding ways to let Ts use their cell phones & to let them create something- Ts are still Ss & like to learn in fun ways too
. 2 Start present mode 4 slides, click on the down arrow to right of present button to launch it https://t.co/BBG6xALuJD
I’m joint late, but this sounds very interesting!
Definitely a wonderful philosophy & objective.
Nice! We use to help Ss stay organized for projects.
Don't be nervous! You are INCREDIBLE and loved! You have so much knowledge to share! You can do it!
A way to collaborate is also a must! https://t.co/GYxxq4TKTg
A4 I always my PD, play music, add in a TON of exploration time, and have a for sharing resources!
A4: I provide a custom bit.ly link for the presentation and my Twitter handle on every slide.
That's for sure! Lead & model for others
A4 Absolutley give time for hands-on exploration, 'cause when else do teahcers have time to just play with something new?
A5: moderation. It is a long haul and it doesn't have to all happen right now.
& showing up late-- Traci B, CTO-- Dublin
Agree with Karly! u rock!
Rock on! Yes, my max was 10 once.
Agree completely. Short videos are key! https://t.co/8RvHhEp9oj
A4: include videos to drive a point home. People believe it more when it is "not only you" saying/showing the point of the preso.
Great idea! For my last PD I created a bit.ly and a QR code and put it on a handout =)
That's awesome. Brings out the kid in them. Everyone loves stickers. How many laptops are covered w them :)
A5: Sched tweets ahead of time w/ so family never comes #2. no offense ur my #2
A4) Using station-rotation blended learning model to deliver PD… it seems to be hit in our district! https://t.co/yTKfrfAatl
It depends on how much we stress it and how easy it is to view, find, and value of resources
A4: Humor & humility make all PD presentations better! And be sure to personalize & facilitate collaboration.
Direction I'm going. While staying me. :)
tribe love!!!! We are behind you Debbie =) https://t.co/s0V063PIi1
Don't be nervous! You are INCREDIBLE and loved! You have so much knowledge to share! You can do it!
yes, great idea! Love that the days of handouts are gone.
Use their cell phones during PD, class, or another setting?
This is a gr8 way to live- in the long run we all walk out of the Sch's n2 a community w/these Ss -sharing reaches more@SkyWinings
Agree on all. Time to play/create is my focus. Dabbling in silly sticker badges, too. :)
A5 - As silly as it sounds, I schedule ALL of my PD for Thursdays, family knows that my late night working, and its consistent
A5: Getting more exercise lately! Running the Monterey Half Marathon in November!
Oh! Can’t wait to try it. Thanks, Judy.
A5 Make friends with peeps They keep it real IRL and digitally. Also, be a giver and you will receive https://t.co/bXbtGYWuqS
I like that idea - We need to make some stickers!
I like that idea - We need to make some stickers!
Q5: Very mindful of leaving work at the right time. Mind may keep spinning, but it will be at home, on my couch, with my kitties.
scheduling helps for sure with family. esp. with little ones
Hmmmm I need to try this!!!
A5: hammock time, slow strolls, making sleep/self care a priority & going on walkabouts to talk out ideas https://t.co/NVivaf3ajT
Definitely a feature that's very useful and may not be used often enough
A5: Very mindful of leaving work at the right time. Mind may keep spinning, but it will be at home, on my couch, with my kitties.
Badges are a great idea, Rachel :) https://t.co/axpsgNVRdJ
Agree on all. Time to play/create is my focus. Dabbling in silly sticker badges, too. :)
Ha ha ha ha and I beg and borrow right back! =)
Any setting-in class Ss can use it w/padlet or similar 2 share thoughts- It has to be regulated but gets them involved
too bad I messed up the grammar in that tweet! Oh well. FRIENDS for life!!! xoxo!
Seriously! You're awesome, Debbie! Share your awesome.
A5b: Like said, I schedule time for me to get my own PD in.
A5: turning my phone off helps me focus on fam. Scheduling non-work time is helpful.
A5: To maintain balance I calendar time with family, time for myself. ...& work when my son is asleep! https://t.co/3zs3D1YcqF
A4 PD that is hands-on + gets Ts doing and sharing. Embed Padlet opps for share-outs. Use GClassroom for sharing docs + posting Qs.
It's easy to overlook the need for that!
Telling myself that work will always be there...me time and family time is more important.
A5: work on school stuff after kids are in bed, try to maximize productivity at work so more "downtime" at night
Eh! I had to read it twice to find it! At least you didn't misspell FRIENDS ;)
. don't like to stand and deliver, but this adds participation as a possibility. https://t.co/OS4AuTUyQs
Definitely a feature that's very useful and may not be used often enough
A5 Sometimes I just let the weekly chat go. After all, is 24/7 here and on Voxer.
A5 Needed to really work on this the first two years when I was a new ToSA. This year, it is easier, so learning to ride my bike.
Think I'll send you the QR code for you to figure what lock it opens. ;)
I think is a hashtag that is going places!
A5: I try including my kids in my ideas. Family time and I get great ideas for school. One day, they will present w/ me.
Here's my first. Most Ts liked it, but not all. Added some fun though, and who opposes that? https://t.co/G1ObWg2mvx
Exactly Jeremiah. The STEM one has been used & referenced. The HyperDoc padlet got used there.
A beautiful run! Enjoy! Watch out - the first half is a deceiving climb. Love the drums at turnaround.
its nice when you get in the groove for sure
A5b. not so goood at balanced life, but I really love my work, learning, and going to school too
A5: A former colleague always walked to the furthest restroom during breaks - gave extra steps https://t.co/rRPCbXvdU0
A5- all I do, both at home & work, is done w/mindful intention 2 make a better, more positive world. I try to be present for each
Agreed. I love the beeping in the tunnel too
Q5: I definitely struggle with this big time. Finding time for ME never happens. I need to work on this this year. For Sure!
I've instructed my colleagues to kick me out if I'm staying too long.
Haven’t quite mastered this, but I am trying hard to get my date nights back with (aka-my husband!)
So who's making the sticker's .....big kids like them too
Sweet! That must be a beautiful course. Hmmm I'll have to look it up. https://t.co/2yZqixy8sw
A5: Getting more exercise lately! Running the Monterey Half Marathon in November!
A5 This is a huge struggle for me. I don't balance very well. I am coaching my son's soccer team for quality mom/son time =)
Speaking of balance how is my accountability buddy doing?
Jumping out a little early, thanks
Is that the Big Sur Half?
A5 It's hard. Limiting my chats, for one... Making sure to eat healthfully, and find time for exercise. Not always easy.
Kelly has some on Red Bubble. Design for shirts too
Put reminds on your google calender!!:)
Thanks guys. Planning a PD tomorrow. Consider me
A5: Walks, snacks, fun discussion with everyone I run into at work, and time to be creative and talk out ideas
. been there done that, until I my husband who became a referee! https://t.co/fP0QEBdQq2
A5 This is a huge struggle for me. I don't balance very well. I am coaching my son's soccer team for quality mom/son time =)
A5: Be patient with others. At times you will not feel innovative. It is ok, meet Ts where they are, not where you are.
I made one for my dist HyperDoc PD too =) That one was fun to see since they made them there.
Oh, for Ts to let Ss use phones. Yes, lots of possibilities
Time to put the kiddos to bed (two books, brush teeth) good night
A?- I forgot to mention going old school- post-it notes!! They are amazing to write "to-do" lists on & when done you toss in trash
You won't FIND it. You have to PLAN for it!
A5: Set “office hours” and keep them. It’s okay to disconnect for a bit. Do something !
A5: Must get outdoors! Walk, run, hike. Also something creative that doesn't involve a screen - mosaic, gardening, painting.
How do I get jumped in? I want to play:)
This is definitely something that helps self & productivity for others we serve. https://t.co/jeC6puag6W
A5b: Like said, I schedule time for me to get my own PD in.
A6v1: Some many all the tweeps
That's a GREAT way to build it in, Karly! So special. I struggle w balance, too. So tough!
I am coaching my kids team too. It forces me to come home early and stop talking work.
My boss has done this from the start. Very valuable! Thx
late bedtime story tonight, but still bringing the smiles into school everyday! + over 15k steps/day
LOL hence our hour long Labor Day work chat this am =)
Debbie, that's a great reminder! thank you friend! RedWingGurl
