Q1: How can #edtech help assist with general classroom management? #wyoedchat

LemarrTreadwell Oct 9 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Hello #WYOedchat. Lemarr Treadwell, Adjunct Professor, School of Education. Happy Monday, Principal Nyberg & PLN.

Dawn63Dale - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A1: #edtech helps w/ classroom mgt in many ways. I use a GDrawing to take attendance. Ss drag their name from the edge to middle. #wyoedchat

LemarrTreadwell Oct 9 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A1. Best help is to help me become Connected Educator. I believe Connected Educator = Connected Students. #WYOedchat

Dawn63Dale - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Q1: How can #edtech help assist with general classroom management? #wyoedchat

ajpodchaski Oct 9 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1: #wyoedchat - any tool that keeps you organized is a good tool - but check with #techdir to make sure it is COPPA/CIPA/FERPA compliant

In reply to @Dawn63Dale

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Hi Lemarr :) Great to see you! #wyoedchat

In reply to @LemarrTreadwell

jpk38 - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1 tough q , #edtech should be used to expand learning not manage behavior imho #wyoedchat

BusEd11 Oct 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A1 If you teach the way Ss learn you will integrate technology to make lessons more hands on and increase interest. #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

a1. From an admin perspective, it really helps me know who reads things like my Monday Memo. I put it on classroom :) #WYOedchat

Dawn63Dale - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A1.1. I can't imagine teaching w/out it. GSuites has made my job so much more organized. #wyoedchat

LemarrTreadwell Oct 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Thanks JB. My wife said it was time to move past the caricature. Become more professional. If that's possible. #WYOedchat

It’s 2018 so I’d definitely say #edtech is easy buy-in and engagement. #WYOedchat

In reply to @Dawn63Dale

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

While I agree, it should also be used to automate the mundane. #wyoedchat

In reply to @jpk38

It’s 2017 so I’d definitely say #edtech is easy buy-in and engagement. #WYOedchat

What is a Connected Educator? #WYOedchat

LemarrTreadwell Oct 9 @ 8:43 PM EDT

Theresa is so right on! Teens spend 9 hours a day on social media. Education should meet them where they live. #WYOedchat

BusEd11 Oct 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A1 If you teach the way Ss learn you will integrate technology to make lessons more hands on and increase interest. #wyoedchat

LemarrTreadwell Oct 9 @ 8:43 PM EDT

Awwwwwwwwww. Thank you, JB. #WYOedchat

jay_bee12345 Oct 9 @ 8:42 PM EDT

haha I was a big fan of both... The quality of the content your provide is what really counts good Sir, and you don't disappoint! Thank you.

The novelty has worn off... ...replaced by genuine interest and passion for learning with new tools! #wyoedchat

A1: I think every school should implement some type of LMS - the benefits are too great to ignore #wyoedchat

Dawn63Dale - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:46 PM EDT

Q2: How can #edtech help us connect with our top students? #wyoedchat

jpk38 - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:46 PM EDT

But where do we help them filter and contain addiction? #wyoedchat

In reply to @LemarrTreadwell

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:46 PM EDT

What do you use in your school/district? #wyoedchat

In reply to @ajpodchaski

LemarrTreadwell Oct 9 @ 8:46 PM EDT

Teens check their social media over 100 times per day. Let's meet them where they live. #WYOedchat

ajpodchaski Oct 9 @ 8:47 PM EDT

#wyoedchat - we currently use a system for independet schools from Blackboard, but have run GClassroom, Moodle, Blackboard, and Canvas

In reply to @PrincipalNyberg

Dawn63Dale - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A2: I want to connect with ALL Ss and using technology makes that possible. #wyoedchat

ajpodchaski Oct 9 @ 8:48 PM EDT

#wyoedchat everywhere and all the time - they are really addicted to the approval and gratification from their peers - tech fills the space

In reply to @jpk38, @LemarrTreadwell

LemarrTreadwell Oct 9 @ 8:48 PM EDT

You're right on, Theresa. Today's great teachers learn for and with their students. #WYOedchat

BusEd11 Oct 9 @ 8:46 PM EDT

I just do not understand Ts that say they have not changed their lessons in 5 or 10 years & wonder why their Ss are bored & failing!
In reply to @LemarrTreadwell

Dawn63Dale - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:48 PM EDT

I worry about Ss falling down the stairs. They don't ever look up from their devices. Your cartoon reminded me of that. #wyoedchat

In reply to @LemarrTreadwell

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:48 PM EDT

I've told my staff several times this year alone, that the T I was 7 years ago is not obsolete! #wyoedchat

I didn't know FOMO was a thing until this year. Now I realize I suffer from it a little :) #WYOedchat

In reply to @ajpodchaski, @jpk38, @LemarrTreadwell

Dawn63Dale - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:50 PM EDT

OK. I gotta ask, what is FOMO? #wyoedchat

In reply to @PrincipalNyberg, @ajpodchaski, @jpk38, @LemarrTreadwell

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Fear Of Missing Out. #wyoedchat

In reply to @Dawn63Dale, @ajpodchaski, @jpk38, @LemarrTreadwell

LemarrTreadwell Oct 9 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Dawn your comment reminds me of "Look Up." https://t.co/Lx6rlVNOXY "This media we call social is anything but." #WYOedchat

BusEd11 Oct 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A2 - Its limitless! Email, Ss will tell me what they will not in class. Twitter lets a Ts share what their students are doing. #wyoedchat

Dawn63Dale - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

"Look Up" is a great video. So true. #wyoedchat

Q3: How can #edtech help us connect with our most challenging students? #wyoedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

a2 & a3. All I know is I was able to keep in contact with 20-30 Ss this summer via Gmail. Many were big time at risk. Loved it! #WYOedchat

PrincipalNyberg - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT

funny you should post that. We allow phones/social media during lunch & recess. 95% of Ss put them away and PLAY :) #WYOedchat

In reply to @jpk38

BusEd11 Oct 9 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A3 Give Ss a choice of their topic or other options. You can then connect with them about their choice of interest. #wyoedchat

LemarrTreadwell Oct 9 @ 8:57 PM EDT

This year I'm really stretching being a Connected Educator. Edtech fastest changing area in history. #WYOedchat

Dawn63Dale - Moderator Oct 9 @ 8:57 PM EDT

Well, said! #wyoedchat

LemarrTreadwell Oct 9 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A3. Technology offers us an opportunity to personalize learning and provide Ss Voice & Choice. @flipgrid @sway @MicrosoftTeams

A3 finding tech they like, and bringing them back into real world that's how #WYOedchat

LemarrTreadwell Oct 9 @ 8:59 PM EDT

What is Student Voice? The missing ingredient in education transformation #WYOedchat

Dawn63Dale - Moderator Oct 9 @ 9:00 PM EDT

We started allowing phones during lunch and betwen classes last year. Lunch duty is less stressful not having to take them away. #wyoedchat

For The WIN! #WYOedchat

In reply to @HCraigPritchard

HCraigPritchard Oct 9 @ 9:02 PM EDT

I thought this was a great example of how technology can provide a voice and avenue for the most reluctant learners to engage #WYOedchat

ajpodchaski Oct 9 @ 9:02 PM EDT

Thanks for letting me jump in #wyoedchat - Have a great evening!

LemarrTreadwell Oct 9 @ 9:03 PM EDT

Craig. This is @flipgrid at its best. Bringing Ss from the back of the classroom to the front of the classroom. #WYOedchat

jpk38 - Moderator Oct 9 @ 9:03 PM EDT

So should we let kids use because it's easier? #wyoedchat Where do they learn proper use if not in school

In reply to @Dawn63Dale

Dawn63Dale - Moderator Oct 9 @ 9:03 PM EDT

I tell Ss that in my class, they may use their device as a tool, not a toy. Why make them put the technology away? #wyoedchat

Ayodele_Har78 Oct 9 @ 9:05 PM EDT

Extended time online doesn't necessarily imply that they are better digital learners. That said, edtech has a place in learning #WYOedchat

In reply to @LemarrTreadwell

@jpk38 They were sneaking to look at them anyway. As the new wore off, they used them less anyway. #wyoedchat
