-
Sarah, 5th grade, Cheyenne.
-
-
Ciara Blain, college student at University of Wyoming, secondary English education.
-
A1: I hope they are more open, where Ss choose rooms & areas to learn based on their goals & objectives. More collaboration.
-
A1: I hope k-12 will be focused less on standards and more on individual students
-
Welcome, glad you dropped in
-
A1: Hopefully personalized to the learner. Fluid for movement to address student needs.
-
A1: More flexibility and maybe 4 day school weeks!
-
-
-
A1 Would love to see more block & flexible scheduling. Schools like seem to be doing well w/this concept
-
A1 blended. I believe students will have their own track. Lots of hands on time. Coding very little of sit and get.
-
A1: Our district is moving toward more of a year round calendar. We'll see what happens
-
A1: Definitely more fluid and personalized based on S needs.
-
A1: Hoping that subject areas will be integrated, not broken into this period, that period
-
-
A1: With the increase in 1:1 and apps like Google Classroom, there will be more flexibility at the MS/HS level
-
A1 more makerspaces and student led blended classrooms
-
I likey :) https://t.co/CnSreCWfZs
-
-
A1 blended. I believe students will have their own track. Lots of hands on time. Coding very little of sit and get.
-
Maybe more flexible with the help of technology, bringing the classroom home
-
A1: I suspect there will be primarily block schedules with four classes a semester for more time in class to work and teach.
-
Sorry I'm late. Dawn, Gillette
-
A1: I'm thinking 4 day weeks M-Th and a lot of online material in the middle and high school grades.
-
A1: more opportunities built in for collaboration, maybe more student choice
-
-
Hi, Cailie Roskam here joining in from University of Wyoming. Sorry I'm late!
-
I see more blending with technology for both students an Teacher PD
-
Hello Ted from Cody Elementary IF
-
A1- Hopefully changed for individual needs of Ss
-
Hopping on late, Shelly from Billings
-
A1: staggered start times to build in additional learning opportunities
-
A1 hopeful one it will build in common planning time for collaboration as part of the reg day
-
A1: Maybe no schedule! All subjects blended into the entire day! Maybe!
-
Interesting, what has been the Ss & Ts response to this?
-
A2b: I would love to see a schedule with Genius time built in for both Ss and Ts
-
A1. school built on needs not ages, tech will help
-
A1: John, Principal, Riverton HS. Later starts. More academies: frosh, senior, specialty, etc. more specific
-
I can see M-Th as a real possibility. https://t.co/rdtQCpURB7
-
-
A1: I'm thinking 4 day weeks M-Th and a lot of online material in the middle and high school grades.
-
A1. More online classes open for normal high school class credits
-
More core subject integration and less compartmentalization of topics.
-
Welcome, Glad you are here
-
A1.1 and hopefully lots of differentiated learning for kiddos in classroom and Teachers with their PD!!
-
A1: more flexibility, personalized, common planning time, online/distance components
-
A)1 Allow more flexibly and more student tailored lesson plans
-
A1: Start later, more classes online possibly.
-
We've got 4 day wk already. flexible time, DL, Skype, cross-curr at all levels, less seat time
-
Q2: What will be the greatest change technology brings to schools in next 5/10 years?
-
Learning at different paces and helping everyone's individual needs
-
Q2: What will be the greatest change technology brings to schools in next 5/10 years?
-
Nice. Where is this again, Carole? https://t.co/NzfJpomzHe
-
-
We've got 4 day wk already. flexible time, DL, Skype, cross-curr at all levels, less seat time
-
A1: Hopefully more personal and focused on students needs. 4 days a week rather than 5!
-
A2. Hopefully more engagement & creation by kids. The T isn't the only knowledge source
-
A2: Bandwidth, aging devices that aren't being replaced fast enough and falling behind what jobs/employers are demanding
-
A2: technology will have an increase in 1-1 ratio in the classroom
-
Adapting to the changing world, taking on a more global perspective rather than an isolated one
-
A2: technology has the potential to offer flexibility and choice. Sts can be more self-directed
-
A2: Classroom walls will no longer separate students.Virtual c'rooms with students all over the world "side by side"
-
A2: So many more diverse and creative learning opportunities and strategies
-
Welcome...dint see you sneak in. I agree
-
A1: schedules haven't changed in the last 10 yrs, it is unlikely that will happen in the next 5-10 yrs.
-
A1:hopefully the start time will be pushed back to allow adolescents to get more sleep since they usually want to sleep from 1-10
-
A1: I think students may have more time in their schedules to focus on their strengths and what they love to learn.
-
didn't even think of Skype Classes! That would be a game changer if integrated into high-schools.
-
A2: Easier to connect & collaborate w community & globally whether at school or home. Affordable devices & equal internet access
-
A2 Students coding their own materials to meet individual needs
-
A2 data. Individual learning tracks. Collaboration across the world few barriers
-
A2: More consistent personalization. A 5th grader should work on what they NEED, not what they ‘should’ be doing.
-
A2.2-instead of tech for just learning it should be for creating more. Code the future.
-
-
A2 technology at the primary level is an entire edchat event in & of itself
-
A2: Tech is rapidly shrinking the world, and simultaneously scaring the crap out of adults, lol
-
A1: Depending on where you go, quite the same, sadly https://t.co/lFmLL88L46
-
-
Q1: What will school schedules look like in 5/10 years? K-12
-
A2: infinite possibilities-ever changing, International Collaboration for Ss
-
Schools expectation that students are 1:1 with a variety of different devices. Learning 24 hours.
-
A2: Better communication/collaboration and less need for set schedules
-
A2: teachers not embracing tech as a tool to make their job easier. https://t.co/7yYxNIjZyo
-
-
Q2: What will be the greatest change technology brings to schools in next 5/10 years?
-
A2 We keep promising engagement, will that finally be more broadly impelemented in 5-10 yrs?
-
Hi, Holbie Oakley, early childhood education major at UW
-
A 2...Bit more individualization and allow more long distance experts to reach more kids
-
A2: technology can help with personalization, self-direction, and distance options.
-
Yes! Let Ss take ownership of their learning!
-
A2: Less lecturing by teachers and more guidance as more materials are online. Teachers help ensure validity of material
-
A2. Tech will make KNOWING if a student's brain is engaged. Scary but cool IMHO
-
A1 focussed on S's individual needs. Flexibility to focus on remediation in areas with technological resources.
-
-
-
A2 HS will become more like college was for us. 2-3 times/wk classes meet. Ts available for Qs. What we are thinking possibly
-
A2: I see a lot more online collaborations between students and teachers and online cooperative/interactive lesson plans
-
A2 - More finessed individual learning opportunities for all students as well as more opportunities for creative group work.
-
A2: less paper will be needed and used!
-
It's making our people lazier. Good news robots will take over the world.
-
A1: The option to take courses online would be ideal for high schoolers busy schedules.
-
A2: totally read that Q wrong... biggest change will be a smaller world, more communication
-
A2: The challenge will be making sure teachers feel comfortable using the technology.
-
A2: The ability and opportunity for students to be global learners, learning remotely from teachers around the world
-
and engagement that leads to learning
-
A2: Access to almost any sort of information anywhere. Also, the ability to collaborate with people all around the world.
-
a2 Tech will just be another tool for creating, communicating, collaboration NOT the focus of attention
-
A2: More opportunities for self-directed learning and for kids to learn at their own pace, also to connect with others worldwide
-
-
Q2: What will be the greatest change technology brings to schools in next 5/10 years?
-
A2: Ts allowing Ss to use their smartphones as a learning device.
-
A2: virtual reality devices. Prices coming down and possibilities rising
-
A2: I would hope more of a hybrid learning via online/in class to accommodate Ss schedules & opens up more opportunity 4 learning
-
-
More online classes for a younger group, they are in college and not as many in high/middle school. Also, more online classwork.
-
A2. More avalibility for long distance learning , more active and independent learning but less in person teaching.
-
-
-
A1: I would love to see a schedule much like they do in college. Where students choose the times they want to take a course.
-
A2: Schools can be paperless completely! This would be such an amazing way for children to learn to help the environment!
-
Q3: What will "grades" look like in 5 / 10 years?
-
A2 being able to track individual growth for each student. Technology motivates students because it's fun and engaging!
-
Q3: What will "grades" look like in 5 / 10 years?
-
Q3: What will "grades" look like in 5 / 10 years?
-
except that now studies are showing that learning is strengthened by writing...
-
A3: Proficiency levels, not age levels tech brings personalized data tracking
-
Changing the classroom atmosphere entirely and making information more easily accessible to everyone
-
Q2: less confined classroom learning and more engagement with the outside world
-
I'm trying to do that now with my classes. https://t.co/WRnBeJyE1U
-
-
A2: Schools can be paperless completely! This would be such an amazing way for children to learn to help the environment!
-
Paperless classrooms, one to one tech for all students
-
A3: I think we will still have a letter grading system unfortunately
-
A3: I really hope we don't have grades. I hope we have portfolios & projects that demonstrate what we've learned & accomplished
-
A3: More real time. More formative. More separation of skill and behavior. https://t.co/BXRVl3Hw7R
-
-
Q3: What will "grades" look like in 5 / 10 years?
-
A2: All classes could be taught through something like # Google hangouts
-
Could be, but there is a lot to be said for writing something by hand and how it impacts the brain.
-
A3: Grades should be inclusive of what they know and how much they’ve grown. Not proof what what Ss don’t know.
-
A3: Very similar but hoping there is change on focus from grade to learning. Society has to trust educators on this issue.
-
A3. In my dreams they would be individualized & no letter grades. Portfolios & mastery instead.
-
personally I switched back from a digital calendar to a hard copy for this reason
-
A3 A reflection of what Ss know & are able to do. Need a separate reflection of college & career readiness or life skills
-
-
A3: For now...hoping for a move from letter grading to standards-based grading
-
A3 Students graded on proficiency
-
A3: More Standards Based Grading, and more focus on skill attainment and mastery.
-
A3 grades will be more standard based at more schools and students will have to create project to show what they learned
-
A3. I'm hoping we will be free from the a to f system. This will allow students to focus on learning and ts better use the time
-
A3: maybe more personalized progress reports or something similar rather than percentages or letter grades
-
A3: I think the grading system will remain the same
-
A3 Would like to see more based assessment, but translating that to overall grades is a mess to untangle
-
A3: I believe we will move away from grades as we know them and us a rating scale (e.g. Advance, Skilled, Emerging)
-
A3: Could possibly look more like the average college class. No plus or minus system, strictly A's, B's, C's etc.
-
A3: I hope they report something other than compliance and behavior
-
-
I can totally understand that! I personally enjoy writing and planners and calendars on hard copy!
-
Grades shouldn't be "grades". Success should be measured by individualized goals and the progress seen towards this end.
-
A3: It won't be grades, it'll be specific feedback
-
A3: Don't see a lot changing besides more systems such as Edmodo and Canvas being integrated
-
A3: It'd be great if grades reflected individual improvement rather than a classroom comparison!
-
-
A2 More s CHOICE in being a learner not "being learned".
-
A3: Teachers and students collab to measure proficiency. Standards determine grades to make more objective
-
A3: Ideally, there would b no grades. Just mastery of a concept. Can your student do this or that? Yes or no.
-
-
-
Grades are accessible much quicker than in the past, also more organized, feedback could be easier to make available to students
-
That is understandable as well! Maybe just a tad less paper for unnecessary things.
-
Now we really can disrupt the world
-
Q3: hopefully more comprehensive friendly. Still letter system but with more room to demonstrate knowledge over rote memorization
-
A3 - Grades hopefully reflecting progression towards outcomes with a path for proficiency.
-
-
that I agree on! Death to the worksheet!!!
-
-
Hopefully based less on rote knowledge and more on retention of the material.
-
Q4: What will be biggest issue facing schools in 5/10 years??
-
A3: I would love 2 see P/F, move up when u finish requirements, more like Focus on skill completion/understanding not testing
-
Q4: What will be biggest issue facing schools in 5/10 years??
-
A4: isn't it always money?
-
Q4: What will be biggest issue facing schools in 5/10 years??
-
A4: Budgets...unfortunately
-
-
Leadership crisis. No one will want to be principal.
-
like busy-work worksheets? Yuck.
-
A4: I worry that if schools don't evolve, the talented Ts will find other places to work their magic. https://t.co/l7GAFWUoZF
-
-
Q4: What will be biggest issue facing schools in 5/10 years??
-
A4: Schools failing to keep-up with the advances in classroom technology
-
A4: Funding like always. Reform issues will continue to flare around the country
-
-
A4: .. facing the K-12 system will be getting higher ed system to get w/ the program & accept new way of showing learning
-
A4 resources...... Time, money, teachers, facilities, technology, professional development, Ect...
-
A4: Money. Insurance. Retaining good Ts. Look at Utah which will be grossly understaffed.
-
A4 The ever widening will continue to drive a wedge if we're not mindful
-
A4: There are so many factors that will effect schools...hard to pick one!
-
-
Being able to reach students that don't have access to technology resources
-
A4: Budget issues for the right things that drive student learning.
-
A4 equitable pay for peeps in the field of education
-
A4: These will be the top issues if not in 5/10 yrs, now.
-
A4 $ to keep up with connectivity in rural areas and keep devices current
-
Q4: finding the time and money to implement big changes always seems to play a role
-
a4 connectivity for ALL sts and tchs, communicating change to sch bds, community, parents, etc, accepting change
-
A4. Public education going away and not all kids getting equal opportunities to learn.
-
Hi, Marissa Palm, elementary education major at the University of Wyoming
-
A4: Being scared to integrate new tech because the possibility of failure.
-
SO SO true, R student data on being a teacher was scary. Sad too
-
A4: less social interactions between students due to technology
-
A4: The lack of need to teachers because of online classes. :(
-
A4. I think money will be greater tech will allow less staff maybe put into alternative schooling. Interventions
-
A4: Staying focused on what's best for kids.
-
And there are some biggies to be made, aren't there? https://t.co/KadWcxUXVn
-
-
Q4: finding the time and money to implement big changes always seems to play a role
-
I agree. The haves and have nots will still be an issue.
https://t.co/0CFGmxPHAE
-
-
A4 The ever widening will continue to drive a wedge if we're not mindful
-
-
A4 - The ever changing student! Like always, although students entering school have had a tablet in their hands since birth.
-
Keeping up with and effective integration of tech and keeping it purposeful and relevant
-
-
A4 - In 10 years, I will be 65, so traveling, exploring , creating. ha ha ha ha.
-
A4: Offering courses that focus on careers & finding Ts qualified enough 2 teach those courses.
-
Can we get in front of this curve?
-
A4 starting now but implementation of ESSA and how it is rolled out will be interesting and be 5 yrs b4 we see ir know...
-
I was at an event this week, and I had a number of people asking me about it. Why? Job security.
-
A4) keeping up with students growing tech skill
-
A4 Unfortunately, classroom T accountability & equity. Ts will be compared based on decisions they have no say in.
-
A4: legislature involvement (budgets, accountability, testing, building maintenance)
-
A4: I can see funding being a problem for schools in the future.
-
A4 teacher shortages makes me concerned also
-
Not to mention the effects of on https://t.co/2VnpWPw98n
-
-
A4 starting now but implementation of ESSA and how it is rolled out will be interesting and be 5 yrs b4 we see ir know...
-
Absolutely, Ss can work devices much better than we can. https://t.co/hJHz3WbsH7
-
-
A4) keeping up with students growing tech skill
-
A3: I ❤️ the idea of focusing on learning and not grades, but must first have strategies in place to motivate S to love learning
-
We need to recognize the curve & adjust what we are doing instead of trying to make what we do now fit students tomorrow.
-
Q5: My 6 year old wants to know when will we let all kids use phones in schools? he is 6
-
Education is a tough sell to ship off to China.
-
YES!! that is due to my response to this question regarding equitable pay for us in the field and more respect!!
-
A5 I say use them now, young Master Kapptie!
-
A5. I've been letting my students since 2011 :)...tell them to come be in my class!
-
A5: i already do. to the scourge of teachers around me. too big a battle to fight, embrace and utilize. wake up!
-
Awesome and sad at the same time. https://t.co/uphmXTx43W
-
-
Q5: My 6 year old wants to know when will we let all kids use phones in schools? he is 6
-
Q2. Classrooms will have less assignments on paper and have a majority available to turn in using online classroom programs.
-
A5: Already a reality in many schools, will probably be universal within next 5 years
-
Q5: a 6 year old wants to know when will we let all kids use phones in schools?
-
A5: I think once everybody in a classroom can have they own device
-
Use them now, just responsibly and effectively, add them to learning environment
-
and his principal will be impressed
-
A5: I think it could happen sooner rather than later (w/ipads too) if the funding is there and they're used for ed purposes
-
A4 I believe all hs ms athletics will be gone also. This will help funding. It will be club and say
-
A5: We must teach Ss to use phones as a tool instead of a toy during school.
-
A4 - Fight for public schools, democracy, and federal/state funding. We are not other countries. American proud
-
A5: depends on the school policy. Lots of issues with distraction, social media, etc. possible here. But if its educational, now!
-
Soon enough every student will begin their Ed journey armed with tech straight out the gate. Pre k even...?
-
A5:NOW!The phone is just another tool. We are more concerned that we don't like Ss to have them. It can be a tool and managed.
-
A4: I can see a severe dependency on technology being a problem. Kids may no longer need to know how to walk, work, or think.
-
BUT would more if they knew they could use them
-
a5 my sts have laptops, but occ use a phone because it's what is needed, used them on Dot Day for 2 yrs now.
-
A5: Hopefully not soon, my students are addicted to their phones. We are 1:1 with Chromebooks.
-
A5: It's already a thing, tell them now.
-
A5: my Ss use their phones & since I've focused on it as a tool for learning I have very few incidents of it being a distraction
-
A5 His exact words...if something happens at school I want to be able to tell u about it
-
A5: Yay to bring your own tech! Regardless of age I think phones are something we can use as a great tool!
-
A5a: also, I use my phone to Tweet whats going on in class, look up words, make to-do reminders.. why shouldn't my Ss?
-
If Ts keep Ss busy in their class, they don't have time to misuse their smart phones.
-
A5.2-Maybe they S's could make a presentation on how/why they can use them for school? Is it a firewall/tech stop or T stop?
-
We need to get to the way that every student is expected to bring a device instead of the binders and paper.
-
-
Q6: What will be biggest driver of change in next 5/10 years...Data/Technology/ Artificial Inteligence/ ???
-
I let my kids tweet on my classroom account!
-
ding ding ding, we have a winner https://t.co/jX4DYWgjeK
-
-
If Ts keep Ss busy in their class, they don't have time to misuse their smart phones.
-
A4. I could see schools with lower funding struggling to take part in advances in technology in the classroom.
-
Q6: What will be biggest driver of change in next 5/10 years...Data/Technology/ Artificial Inteligence/ ???
-
A5 When adults realize school should teach real life skills to be successful in real life, regardless of content of TWWADI
-
Q6: What will be biggest driver of change in next 5/10 years...Data/Technology/ Artificial Inteligence/ ???
-
-
An answer given to me during an interview last week. Needless to say, I've offered this person the job! https://t.co/MT5IqHRUOy
-
-
If Ts keep Ss busy in their class, they don't have time to misuse their smart phones.
-
-
-
A6. I hope it's the S's that are the biggest driver of change. Followed by us, the T's. But the other will be technology.
-
A6: Student voice, they have the ability to share their message w the globe & they know what makes a difference in their learning
-
A6: The collection of data and how we as educators interpret the information to drive change.
-
A6 Near term, & will continue to control change based on business. Longterm...The .
-
A6: Tech is a big one, but the everchanging global landscape will be huge. Edu must evolve for US to stay competitive
-
A6: Ss expectations of technology and connection to the world. We need to get them connected with real life skills.
-
A6: TECHNOLOGY!!! Look at what we are doing now with this chat!!
-
A6: The fact that technology is always growing will drive change
-
-
A6: Your school leader better be one of the major forces driving change!
-
A6: Educators being willing to take risks and fail-then try again.
-
Definitely technology, imagine virtual reality progressing even father! Virtual field trips!
-
A6: How we choose to use tech.
-
A1. Hopefully students will still have time to interact and "play" while learning, not only sitting in a desk.
-
Yes. I know that my Ss are the biggest reason I change anything in my classroom.
-
A6 A.I. will start to be able to better predict success and interventions. We will know if struggling before they are! IMHO
-
A6: Students, funding and industry ie Global competition
-
Busy work can be boring. Engaging work can involve a smart phone.
-
yes, but with the COLLABORATION and input of all stakeholders!!
-
A6 Data...it shows what is working and those that give $ support like to see the numbers to show their investment
-
Student - teacher relationships are more important than rigor & relevance. Ss will learn if they believe Ts care about them.
-
-
A6: Unfortunately, people who don't know about education still control what goes on in schools more than they should.
-
Without a doubt. My staff is way smarter and more talented than me anyway :) https://t.co/5q6nA6l2mh
-
-
yes, but with the COLLABORATION and input of all stakeholders!!
-
A6: Use of personalized tech options will drive better use of data & hopefuls lead to better funding
-
Automation. Teachers may teach, but there will be no superintendent.
-
A6 corporate greed and the desire to make education about profit instead of a right to public education
-
A6: I think with increasing data and storage capabilities, usage rights for data and technology will influence education
-
A6: Hoping it will be Ss driving change. They may not settle for the status quo.
-
A6. Data. It will drive our resources staffing etc
-
-
A6 Money in WYO. We have to be creative which can be a good thing. Buying a solution is easier than being the solution.
-
That might scare the adults more than fast moving technology, lol https://t.co/oBGlRbUYI8
-
-
A6: Hoping it will be Ss driving change. They may not settle for the status quo.
-
Time to tuck my own S into bed. Thanks for letting me hop on . Night
-
money is both a blessing and a curse isn't it...
-
Interesting??? Save money but...
-
Student needs and success in a globalized platform should always drive the change...
-
One of the biggest things I see is a lack of highly collaborative environments. This is why ed. don't do well in business.
-
It's like lawyers, computers can do most of the paperwork.
-

I came from teaching in Colorado so we were in the same boat!
-
A7 Banning is already a reality in some schools. A very sad, depressing reality.
-
A7: Students would attend virtually 1 day a week...too much tech usage in schools today to go back now!
-
A7: Virtual attendance. We will have to in order to save money.
-
A7: huh.. I hope the first. Technically, a toilet is 'technology' & I'm not really feeling like reinstating out-houses.
-
A7: attending virtually, I don't see technology or the use of it going backwards
-
A7: Ss will attend virtually. I shudder to think about the second option.
-

-
A1 I think they will attend "virtually" 1 day a week. Cost saving will be factor...
-
A7: Students attending a virtual classroom at least one day a week.
-
A7: virtual attendance will definitely come soon
-
Should we attack this proactively ???
-
A7: Virtually. Tech is here to stay...I hope.
-
A7: Maybe it's just where I live but banning tech seems unlikely. Too many people onboard already :) Would be a rebellion
-

Will schools be required to aide in cost of devices or connectivity at home if we require virtual attendance?
-
A7) It would be sad to ban tech because it a critical learning tool for students futures!

A7 banning technology would be inadequately preparing S's for the world they will be asked to be productive in.

A7: attending virtually. Great way for different districts to collaborate and save $
-
A7: "Virtual" school. Students and teachers would probably revolt if tech was banned. Would be unfair to students in modern world
-
A7: Virtual attendance. I don't think we can take technology backwards now.
-
A7a:I think M-Th inperson & Fri virtual (or community) for Ss allowing Ts to have collaboration & learning time would b fantastic
-
A7: An increaded online presence, if I have my way...mwwahahahaha!
-
Mcdonalds + unlimited fries...problem solved LOL
-
A7 Virtual attendance. Cost cutting being a factor with HS & colleges. Rigor & cheating are a factors we must address.
-
Too many people view technology as entertainment rather than a resource
-
A7: virtual attendance, but not soon bc many parents are dependent upon school for "day care"
-
-
-
A7 I believe many S's & T's attend virtually already like when absent they can check in participate via online capabilities
-
There is research that shows tech hurts learning...just saying
-
A7: I hope we stop counting time and measure learning.
