GrundlerArt Jan 19 @ 9:08 PM EST

@TechKnowLeah @PISDFineArts all a matter of opinion my brain works like a pinball machine so it's sometimes random knowledge #pisdedchat

GrundlerArt Jan 19 @ 9:09 PM EST

Edcamps also offer flexibility and ownership; you are in control which makes a learner much happier and open-minded #pisdedchat

trudy_fern Jan 19 @ 9:13 PM EST

NancyWTech - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:26 PM EST

Q3 What did you like about the edcamp(s) you’ve been to? How might the model be improved? #pisdedchat

@TechKnowLeah love the URL shortener! Also like snag-it for screen grabs! #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:33 PM EST

A3 I wonder how the schedule setup could b streamlined. Sometimes takes awhile to get the sessions organized; can b frustrating. #pisdedchat

matthew_arend Jan 19 @ 9:34 PM EST

A3: model improves when we begin to integrate edcamp philosophy across variety of learning opportunities. Not just on Saturdays #pisdedchat

KellyParrish605 Jan 19 @ 9:34 PM EST

Loved the "open" schedule but didn't like how long it sometimes takes to fill it....though I can't offer solution! #pisdedchat

KFislar Jan 19 @ 9:35 PM EST

A3: maybe streamline the sessions by pre-survey for general interest areas to facilitate breakouts. #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:35 PM EST

@KFislar Most definitely! @Snagit has changed my life. An easy way to send annotated screenshots to teachers/students. #pisdedchat

lljensby Jan 19 @ 9:35 PM EST

A2: @jess_malloy @drea735 - great edcamp presenters! #pisdedchat

the_seema_shah Jan 19 @ 9:36 PM EST

@TechKnowLeah @Artguy76 my goal is to work with it next month using the touch cast app #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:37 PM EST

A3 For me, the schedule prep is my favorite time to socialize & grow my PLN. And drink free coffee. #pisdedchat https://t.co/JvCbraypsi

DoInkTweets Jan 19 @ 9:38 PM EST

MT @TechKnowLeah: @the_seema_shah Have you tried using a green screen? Went to #teamgrundler's summer class and was blown away! #pisdedchat

matthew_arend Jan 19 @ 9:38 PM EST

Y'all keep Rollin! It's time for this guy to bow out. #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:38 PM EST

@the_seema_shah @Artguy76 Oo! You'll have to tell me about how it goes. @NancyWTech loves that app! #pisdedchat

lljensby Jan 19 @ 9:38 PM EST

A3: love "vote with your feet" concept #pisdedchat

corderj Jan 19 @ 9:39 PM EST

A3:EdCamp Magic didn't use sticky note concept. If u wanted to facilitate, u found an empty spot on sched. Saved tons of time. #pisdedchat

the_seema_shah Jan 19 @ 9:39 PM EST

@matthew_arend yes much like @EdleadS has planned for us on Monday afternoons at @MemorialPISD #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:40 PM EST

@corderj Smart! So was the schedule posted on a wall? Or a virtual doc? #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:41 PM EST

@matthew_arend Thanks for coming to play! See you at #tcea2016. #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:43 PM EST

Q4 What strategies of this style of prof. learning can you implement in your classroom w. students? Your campus w. educators? #pisdedchat

lljensby Jan 19 @ 9:43 PM EST

A3: I wonder if we could use virtual sticky notes to post/ organize topics? Then all can see emerging topics in real time? #pisdedchat

SOC54 Jan 19 @ 9:43 PM EST

@NancyWTech Thought: Google doc with registered edcampers prior, verification at day of check in of facilitators, fill gaps #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:44 PM EST

A4 I have been super impressed w. the number of principals who have adopted the #edcamp style of PD on their campuses in Plano. #pisdedchat

krismmcdonald Jan 19 @ 9:44 PM EST

SOC54 Jan 19 @ 9:58 PM EST

@TechKnowLeah @EdcampRockwall @TXEDUCAMP @EdCampAwesome Better bk out the "Ed camper red plaid"! That's alot of fine edcamping! #pisdedchat

KarenGournay Jan 19 @ 9:58 PM EST

A5: connecting a tech piece to a lesson. Edcamps seem to bring out awesome ideas in tech! #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Jan 19 @ 9:59 PM EST
