A4: there is a fine line between tech support and enabling...it's hard to find it with individual teachers. #tntechchat

Q4: How much support do you want/need for the devices in your classroom/school? #tntechchat

A4: depends on the Ts, I have some that rock it w/ little help but others won't even updates & need clear cut directions for use #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: I need IT people to keep my stuff connected to the network. Beyond that, I'm usually good. I'll figure out the rest. #tntechchat

@chargerrific @tcarey98 think the TN stds still list microfiche & VCR tapes too :) #tntechchat

A4. I love the 1:1 support, but when that won't work, let's pair up to make the best lessons for our kids. #tntechchat

rank_mr Mar 22 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A4: must have ongoing support for continuous needs & improvement. Doesn't always need to be outside PD either. Use your talent #tntechchat

tntechgal Mar 22 @ 8:29 PM EDT

tntechgal Mar 22 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@smithstrws @JacobDunn loving @nearpod! #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@chargerrific It's not the best, but it's better than manual. #tntechchat MDM is much more ideal.

rank_mr Mar 22 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A4: procedures, expectations, and space/ area in the room to hold, charge and stay organized #tntechchat

Canario_K Mar 22 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@tcarey98 We have, 1300 iPads and don't use it (to my knowledge) #tntechchat

tntechgal Mar 22 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@tcarey98 NONE! ipads since 2011,ask MDM but money is short,new iOS is forcing us to look at one (thankfully),been doing by hand #tntechchat

Canario_K Mar 22 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@JacobDunn started with local tech grants, PTA, and also did donors choose. Didn't get expensive devices, but something at least #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@Canario_K so does everybody just do their own thing with individual apple IDs? #tntechchat

Canario_K Mar 22 @ 8:39 PM EDT

tntechgal Mar 22 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@tcarey98 1st got iPads,config wasnt out,came out wld had to connect all to it&wouldn't wk w/what was in place in 18 schools #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Mar 22 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@tcarey98 @tntechgal I found I still had to touch every iPad often even with configuration. #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@Canario_K I'm not familiar. I've never been in a district that actually pulled the trigger on an MDM. #tntechchat

Rdene915 Mar 22 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@chargerrific @youtube #tntechchat I laughed so hard last night, mostly b/c I am that impatient w/cookies! #cookiemonster

tntechgal Mar 22 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@tcarey98 hard to explain in 140 chars but apple didnt suggest it based on how we initially set everything up #tntechchat

@tcarey98 would be happy to tell you more whenever. We rolled out this year. 6-8 middle #tntechchat

@Canario_K Awesome. I'll probably holler at ya soon. #tntechchat

@chargerrific @tcarey98 in ETETA last week & some were discussing the issues within each type #tntechchat

Canario_K Mar 22 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A5: tough one. We err on the side of looseness as to not stifle T and S choice. Makes consistency in managing a must #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Mar 22 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A5 teacher autonomy wide open BUT expectations for S usage of certain cross platform apps/websites expected #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:44 PM EDT

smithstrws Mar 22 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A5.2 IT #TnTechChat

chargerrific - Moderator Mar 22 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@tntechgal @tcarey98 that's why emily went. iPad management is a thorn in my side. #tntechchat

tntechgal Mar 22 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A5.2: install on own & will stay that way when we go MDM, IT will predom be for restrictions, locked devices, updates #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Mar 22 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5.2 on their own...but also have to buy them on their own #tntechchat

JacobDunn Mar 22 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5) hmmm... it is the teachers discretion in how they integrate/manage tech in their class. Due to lack of tech most don't use.#tntechchat

tntechgal Mar 22 @ 8:46 PM EDT

.@JacobDunn I've heard that from some, especially where tech is more limited like hs #tntechchat

#tntechchat A5.2 Special Ed apps and updates go through Special ed.

Canario_K Mar 22 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5.2: both T and S can download apps and update. Expectations are clear, and student misuse handled swiftly #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5: We let our grade levels purchase their own apps with a fixed budget via VPP until the money was gone. #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@smithstrws does that work for you? #tntechchat

Rdene915 Mar 22 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@tcarey98 #tntechchat A5 Some yes, I can add to Chrome,but most no, lots of things are blocked. Can't put anything on ipads,

tntechgal Mar 22 @ 8:48 PM EDT

.@tcarey98 each of our sch/divisions have sep VPP & buy/manage that end #tntechchat

Canario_K Mar 22 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@tntechgal It's how we operate and I wouldn't have it anyother way! #tntechchat

smithstrws Mar 22 @ 8:48 PM EDT

Eh...I deal. I bring my personal iPad, so no biggie, but I wish I had more control over adding apps. #TnTechChat

tntechgal Mar 22 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@Canario_K I really think that autonomy personalizes & they'll get used more #tntechchat

Canario_K Mar 22 @ 8:49 PM EDT

Too much "management" puts a halt to creativity and problem solving #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@Rdene915 this is problematic. it defeats the opportunities to differentiate. but iOS has been so unfriendly to school. #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:50 PM EDT

Q6: How do student needs/goals influence the management of devices? #tntechchat

tntechgal Mar 22 @ 8:50 PM EDT

.@tcarey98 @Rdene915 until now!! new iOs 9.3 is education friendly!! #tntechchat

JacobDunn Mar 22 @ 8:51 PM EDT

.@tntechgal it does frustrate me when we want our Ss college or career ready but no 21st century tools to help get them ready. #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@tntechgal @Rdene915 i hope. that's what they said about configurator. =) #tntechchat

smithstrws Mar 22 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A6 This is why I like BYOD so they can download apps that work for Ss. Not all apps work for all ... #TnTechChat

chargerrific - Moderator Mar 22 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A6 often schools react harshly to a few that misuse and it becomes less effective for all. #tntechchat https://t.co/DqTuw2dY5r

@chargerrific One bad apple... #TnTechChat

tntechgal Mar 22 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@JacobDunn agreed! but finances are as available for hs on the fed level, at least in most Title districts #tntechchat

Canario_K Mar 22 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A6: we should manage with Ss in mind, not by fear. Personalization needs to be at the forefront, not just considered. #tntechchat

JacobDunn Mar 22 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A6) Tech can help us differentiate for our Ss learning styles. #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A6: We put a lot of tech in front of Ss. I wished Ss put more tech in front of us. we need a student-centric device mgmt. model. #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Mar 22 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@smithstrws I stress those are digital citizenship lesson opportunities! #tntechchat

smithstrws Mar 22 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@chargerrific Absolutely! #TnTechChat

Canario_K Mar 22 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@tcarey98 Student tech teams! And getting teachers to be vulnerable with tech and Ss. #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@chargerrific I think we are moving past that in some areas. It's important to have good policy as tech and Ss evolve. #tntechchat

smithstrws Mar 22 @ 8:55 PM EDT

I love the idea of Ss being "tech"sperts and helping peers and Ts with tech. #TnTechChat

tcarey98 Mar 22 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@Canario_K SOO hard for those seasoned type A teachers. =) #tntechchat

Rdene915 Mar 22 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@chargerrific #tntechchat #edtech A6 So many poss to provide new opps for Ss, personlzd, diff, quick feedback,glad to have @edmodo & @celly!

Canario_K Mar 22 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@tcarey98 absolutely, the struggle IS REAL #tntechchat

tntechgal Mar 22 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@smithstrws trained our 1st Ss tech team this yr to function as tech coaches...loved it!@! #tntechchat

pilotswife44 Mar 22 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A6. I think there is too much management. It actually hinders meeting Ss goals. Kinda like the teachers feel. #tntechchat

Canario_K Mar 22 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@smithstrws We love having our S tech team. Takes a lot of maintenance off my plate and let's me do my job too. Win-win #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Mar 22 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@tcarey98 what would this look like? #tntechchat

smithstrws Mar 22 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@tntechgal So cool! We used to have a tech club after sch. but they quit offering ext. contracts for it. :-( #TnTechChat
