@jmattmiller @Seesaw is the best bc they just scan a QR code. T could make short videos w instructions for activity! #ditchbook

rachelmarker Feb 11 @ 10:24 PM EST

A3: We can flip some lrng and show Ts how to create short vids, screencasts, etc. Differentiates for Ss--pacing, replay, etc. #ditchbook

LannySaretsky Feb 11 @ 10:25 PM EST

A3 I use a lot of anchor charts for step by step instruct. It's extra work but pays off plus they can be shared with other Ts #ditchbook

menxueiro Feb 11 @ 10:25 PM EST

Going beyond the book? @jmattmiller @ccstechgirl #DitchBook https://t.co/bq50tclyOL

jmattmiller - Moderator Feb 11 @ 10:25 PM EST

So many good suggestions on younger Ss logins ... thanks! I've always wondered ... #DitchBook

mathkaveli Feb 11 @ 10:25 PM EST

A4: 1st: Ts act like Ss are kids, develop relationships. Then we can talk #ditchbook

MrAlbertSES Feb 11 @ 10:25 PM EST

@RemScience #ditchbook I have five students who will go down and help other classes just to be xtra hands

ccstechgirl Feb 11 @ 10:25 PM EST

A4: Lots of small groups, working independently vs. rows of students facing a teacher. #ditchbook

  A3: Here's one I've always wondered about ... How do you get younger Ss logged on to devices? #DitchBook

FitsumFAbebe Feb 11 @ 10:26 PM EST

@techcoachmoran That is right we’ve to ask how much we are helping kids to learn better #ditchbook #TEAC 880J

StefaniePitzer Feb 11 @ 10:26 PM EST

@Phillip_Cowell Love this log in! :) This also looks cool! Is it an app or can it be used in a Chromebook? #DitchBook

jmattmiller - Moderator Feb 11 @ 10:26 PM EST

So important! Should focus on changing the task, not the delivery material. #DitchBook https://t.co/eEkiYc1UAV

kat_goyette Feb 11 @ 10:27 PM EST

@jmattmiller Logging young Ss onto devices is not easy, w/nearpod they open the app & enter 1 code, locked into a slide at a time #ditchbook

rachelmarker Feb 11 @ 10:27 PM EST

@nathan_stevens @jmattmiller @Seesaw Isn't it so powerful?! For Ts, Ss *and* Ps. Love it! #ditchbook

#ditchbook a4 be brave make mistakes, give your students and more importantly yourself freedom to fail.

MistyMitchellm Feb 11 @ 10:28 PM EST

A4: El Ts spend more time on room design bcuz everything is routine 4 them! This is helpful in higher Ed but over👀️Ed lot. #ditchbook

@menxueiro @ccstechgirl Where is your "partner in GIF," @ohsoearly ??? #DitchBook

Phillip_Cowell Feb 11 @ 10:28 PM EST

@jmattmiller Yes - free for classes and students. Parents purchase blogs for $10 at years end. (Or can copy paste if they like) #DitchBook

zonie71 Feb 11 @ 10:28 PM EST

A4: Model and share for an example. Let them help each other... Let them loose and see the awesomeness they create! #ditchbook

mrsvalencia201 Feb 11 @ 10:28 PM EST

A3 my sixth graders are grateful that many apps they need to log in can be set up with their school email acct #ditchbook

KarlyMoura - Moderator Feb 11 @ 10:28 PM EST

@MsScott3grade @tickleapp A FANTASTIC app for coding @sphero! I taped out a track & the Ss have to code it to drive in the lines #ditchbook

rachelmarker Feb 11 @ 10:28 PM EST

@SEANJFAHEY Good plan. Spend some time on skills, and then they can apply! #ditchbook

MsScott3grade Feb 11 @ 10:28 PM EST

@techcoachmoran @seesaw seesaw! YES! Just got off #seesawchat earlier. About the process of learning not the product. #ditchbook

kat_goyette Feb 11 @ 10:28 PM EST

@MrsCoppleSES @jmattmiller It also helps to have student "experts", those that help others log in. #ditchbook

jmattmiller - Moderator Feb 11 @ 10:28 PM EST

mathkaveli Feb 11 @ 10:29 PM EST

@KarlyMoura @SEANJFAHEY @MsScott3grade LOL, got me there then, so I'm not an expert in #hyperdocs but Karly is #ditchbook

MrsTMercer Feb 11 @ 10:29 PM EST

@SEANJFAHEY A3 tools like snag it that can visually guide them through the task. An example of the "We do" part of the lesson. #ditchbook
