ReidGenise Dec 28 @ 7:43 PM EST

A5: Learning environment must encourage questioning, have regard for ideas, promote opinions and respect creative thought. #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Dec 28 @ 7:43 PM EST

@MrCourington53 specifically asking students for different strategies to solve the same problem! #formativechat

MLeighMalone Dec 28 @ 7:44 PM EST

@drshaunamayo Makes sense. #formativechat

keith_guarino Dec 28 @ 7:44 PM EST

A5 #formativechat Ensure feedback starts with what's good then offer positive ways to improve along with a f2f conversation when posible

slm12 Dec 28 @ 7:45 PM EST

@JennyWamsley @kispypniko Anything electronic device. My Ss have chromebooks and Macbooks. Phones and IPads work too. #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Dec 28 @ 7:45 PM EST

A6: #goformative allows you to hide student names and scores for whole class discussions. #formativechat

MLeighMalone Dec 28 @ 7:45 PM EST

@TaraLAderman Ts must create that safe space; otherwise, Ss won't take risks. #formativechat

MLeighMalone Dec 28 @ 7:45 PM EST

@MrCourington53 Modeling is so important. We can't assume anything. #formativechat

keith_guarino Dec 28 @ 7:45 PM EST

A5 #formativechat LMS offer opps to give immediate FB

BullisKari Dec 28 @ 7:46 PM EST

@kispypniko @slm12 it takes a close second. Getting instant feedback is very valuable. #formativechat

dr_costello Dec 28 @ 7:46 PM EST

@ReidGenise completely agree - well stated #following #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Dec 28 @ 7:46 PM EST

TaraLAderman Dec 28 @ 7:47 PM EST

keith_guarino Dec 28 @ 7:47 PM EST

@TaraLAderman #formativechat Failure leads to learning https://t.co/06r5jQNq3e

TaraLAderman Dec 28 @ 7:41 PM EST

#formativechat Building a class community where positive risk taking and failure is part of learning is key.

davidwkwan - Moderator Dec 28 @ 7:47 PM EST

@MrCourington53 you can also give instant, confidential, written feedback! #formativechat

slm12 Dec 28 @ 7:47 PM EST

@kispypniko It NEVER replaces FtoF. It enables to see who needs that FtoF quicker. No more waiting until next day. #formativechat

JMPMath Dec 28 @ 7:47 PM EST

#formativechat A6 I also have created @GetKahoot for the students. They LOVED that

drshaunamayo Dec 28 @ 7:48 PM EST

@MLeighMalone @TaraLAderman Right and Ss need to know that it's okay to make mistakes because that's how we all learn #formativechat

kispypniko Dec 28 @ 7:48 PM EST

A6 any tool that extends the learning beyond the class time eg @MinecraftEdu #formativechat https://t.co/g0iIDYJevV

dr_costello Dec 28 @ 7:48 PM EST

@MLeighMalone @BullisKari @drshaunamayo @TaraLAderman @plickers I've seen a presentation on Plickers - very interactive #formativechat

MLeighMalone Dec 28 @ 7:48 PM EST

@TaraLAderman Not familiar...gotta check it out. #formativechat

slm12 Dec 28 @ 7:49 PM EST

@JMPMath @GetKahoot @quizizz is another FA tool that allows you to differentiate. My Ss love kahootin' it as competition. #formativechat

MLeighMalone Dec 28 @ 7:49 PM EST

@JMPMath @GetKahoot Middle schoolers love Kahoot! #formativechat

kispypniko Dec 28 @ 7:50 PM EST

@BullisKari @slm12 Agreed, real time feedback to a group needs a tool and is very efficient in certain types of situations #formativechat

ReidGenise Dec 28 @ 7:50 PM EST

A6: Ss use tech tools skillfully, have affinity for Kahoot, used individually r with team. Appreciate Today's Meet, Padlet #formativechat

BullisKari Dec 28 @ 7:50 PM EST

@TaraLAderman @MLeighMalone @drshaunamayo @plickers encourage your #PhysEd teachers to use them! #formativechat

keith_guarino Dec 28 @ 7:50 PM EST

#formativechat Kahoot is a great tool https://t.co/cYAiK3Vv8b

JMPMath Dec 28 @ 7:47 PM EST

#formativechat A6 I also have created @GetKahoot for the students. They LOVED that

davidwkwan - Moderator Dec 28 @ 7:50 PM EST

A7: I always reached out to parents when I was proud of what my students had done, plain and simple #formativechat

Rdene915 - Moderator Dec 28 @ 7:50 PM EST

@davidwkwan #formativechat A6 Ss can choose nicknames, Ts can hide responses, lots of options available through #edtech

slm12 Dec 28 @ 7:50 PM EST

A6: What I appreciate in edtech tools is that I can use same tool as a differentiation tool. #formativechat

MLeighMalone Dec 28 @ 7:50 PM EST

@dr_costello @BullisKari @drshaunamayo @TaraLAderman @plickers Very little prep! Ss keep the same plicker card. #formativechat

drshaunamayo Dec 28 @ 7:50 PM EST

JMPMath Dec 28 @ 7:52 PM EST

#formativechat A7, well there is the second part of my resolution. I want to work on this part

slm12 Dec 28 @ 7:52 PM EST

@kispypniko @BullisKari With @goformative I can see live feedback as individual Ss answer, and I love that. #formativechat

MrCourington53 Dec 28 @ 7:52 PM EST

#formativechat A7: online grade book, email, dojo, & the old fashioned phone call. Establish a bond early. https://t.co/E84GIxW2X5

keith_guarino Dec 28 @ 7:52 PM EST

#formativechat Had a blast Gotta go see u all next Mon at #formativechat @ReidGenise @kispypniko @davidwkwan @weknowteaching @MLeighMalone

slm12 Dec 28 @ 7:53 PM EST

@ReidGenise @JMPMath @GetKahoot @quizizz However, I have to not use kahoot if I don't want competition. #formativechat

MLeighMalone Dec 28 @ 7:53 PM EST

A7: We used Blackboard, Parent Connect (online report card), and student-led conferences. #formativechat

MLeighMalone Dec 28 @ 7:53 PM EST

Question 8 coming up! #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Dec 28 @ 7:53 PM EST

A7(con): would have loved to try, after school "office hours" with an online chat tool #formativechat

Rdene915 - Moderator Dec 28 @ 7:54 PM EST

@MLeighMalone #formativechat A7 I use @edmodo to communicate w/Ps and Ss, @cellyme w/SS, email, phone, work w/other Ts to help Ss

TaraLAderman Dec 28 @ 7:54 PM EST

Q7: T's post comments on S progress of learning targets in our online SBG gradebook (fa does not go into actual "grades") #formativechat

MLeighMalone Dec 28 @ 7:54 PM EST

@slm12 @kispypniko @BullisKari @goformative Love that feature! #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Dec 28 @ 7:54 PM EST

@TaraLAderman that's super cool! so much more meaningful than a score alone #formativechat

MLeighMalone Dec 28 @ 7:54 PM EST

@keith_guarino @ReidGenise @kispypniko @davidwkwan @weknowteaching See you around, Keith! #formativechat

kispypniko Dec 28 @ 7:55 PM EST

@slm12 @BullisKari @goformative Yes I have been using it with my older students, not very usable with my KG students yet #formativechat

dr_costello Dec 28 @ 7:55 PM EST

@drshaunamayo @MLeighMalone @BullisKari @TaraLAderman @plickers let me know what you find #following #formativechat

TaraLAderman Dec 28 @ 7:55 PM EST

ReidGenise Dec 28 @ 7:55 PM EST

@MLeighMalone Interested in conducting student led conferences. #formativechat

kispypniko Dec 28 @ 7:56 PM EST

@TaraLAderman I like the new story feature in @ClassDojo it has been very popular with our parents #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Dec 28 @ 7:56 PM EST

@kispypniko @TaraLAderman @ClassDojo how does that work? #formativechat

MLeighMalone Dec 28 @ 7:56 PM EST

@ReidGenise Works well in middle school - teams create the schedules by having Ps sign up. #formativechat

slm12 Dec 28 @ 7:57 PM EST

@davidwkwan I use @TodaysMeet for that each week. #formativechat

lthomaspaquin Dec 28 @ 7:58 PM EST

@ReidGenise @MLeighMalone Student-led conferences can be profound. I love seeing the kids explain their thinking to a parent #formativechat

ReidGenise Dec 28 @ 7:58 PM EST

@slm12 @kispypniko Develops a true learning environment. Resonates learning importance. #formativechat

dr_costello Dec 28 @ 7:58 PM EST

MrCourington53 Dec 28 @ 7:58 PM EST

#formativechat great chat! It's bath time for my kiddos. Thanks for letting me drop in for a bit. Happy New Year! Happy to connect! #pln

davidwkwan - Moderator Dec 28 @ 7:58 PM EST

@slm12 @TodaysMeet That's awesome! Does it get a bit chaotic with multiple parents and child privacy? #formativechat

davidwkwan - Moderator Dec 28 @ 7:59 PM EST

@MrCourington53 Great to have you with us! Next week we'll talk re-engaging Ss after the holiday break! Hope to see you there #formativechat
