Our next question jumps right into the crux of the matter. It will be here soon. #FLedChat

knikole Jul 20 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@dene_gainey 6th grade...they were glazed over and looked bored. I just stopped & asked what was up. They schooled me. #FLedChat

MrStevenKerr Jul 20 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Ditto! Learning can't happen for a S if they don't think you care about them #FLedChat https://t.co/3MF7OsFCLn

Hey #FLedChat peeps...Shana from Atlanta, I just left Miami/Fort Lauderdale earlier this morning. Beautiful weather for vacation!

knikole Jul 20 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@dene_gainey Learned to teach in 15-20 min chunks & turn them loose.They always came to me when/if they needed me. Amazing year! #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@knikole But such an idea can truly revolutionize the classroom #FLedchat Yes!

knikole Jul 20 @ 8:17 PM EDT

T shared w/ staff how each day she spent 5 minutes, uninterrupted listening to 1 student. Explained how change classroom culture #FLedchat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@knikole Sometimes less is more right? #FLedchat. We can then step back and facilitate!

TG_Neil - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@ShanaVWhite So glad you are joining us. I'll be in ATL Monday and Tuesday for @EdcampUSA Summit. #FLedChat

@mjjohnson1216 Hard for so many of them to give up "control" #Fledchat

@dene_gainey Exactly! It's so much easier to facilitate..so much more fun to be the "guide on the side". #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@dene_gainey @knikole That is actually a topic we will be touching on in August. (Great minds). #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jul 20 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@knikole I can certainly understand that. Ron Clark speaks about "runners" on the "bus". #FLedchat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: S's will be provided "options" and if the options don't speak to them, freedom to step out of the box. #FLedchat https://t.co/14BILH4xkp

ShanaVWhite Jul 20 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@jsherm8 middle school. #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jul 20 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@MrStevenKerr Were you able to sustain the group over time? Were the Ss pleased with the impact? #FLedchat

knikole Jul 20 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@MrStevenKerr ....but it took me a long time to learn it. Wish someone had told me this years ago...makes job easier #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Here comes our fourth question. #FLedChat

knikole Jul 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@reginaschaffer @SVicGlass @msedtechie Yes! I'm tempted to unfollow them until they get home...#jealous #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat So glad you are here. #FLedChat

MrsTsMG Jul 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Good to see you again, Tammy. I moved to CT just as you got #FLedchat started, so glad to rejoin now I'm back in FL @TG_Neil

FirstAtBat Jul 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT

I see you're talking student blogging...one of my favorite things! #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@mjjohnson1216 That's awesome?! I have definitely seen the personal and professional benefits of it! Let it be written :) #FLedchat

knikole Jul 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@TG_Neil @MrStevenKerr I like this idea. I've did somethign similar with Ts. #FledChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:37 PM EDT

** Q4 ** What pitfalls do you foresee when you increase student voice in your school/class/district? #FLedChat

reginaschaffer Jul 20 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat Mine also! I have been blogging with students for a while ....love it... #fledchat

MrsTsMG Jul 20 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A1: I teach MG and it's important to help each S -- listen & make space -- as they find their voice, interests, talents. #FLedchat

FirstAtBat Jul 20 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A1: It is telling Ss they matter, they can make a difference and have thinking that needs to be heard. #FLedChat

knikole Jul 20 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@dene_gainey What are you planning to use for S blogging? #FLedChat

MrStevenKerr Jul 20 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@knikole We are GAFE School and 1:1 with Chromebooks, we use Google Forms for polling Ss on multiple things, works great #FledChat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@dene_gainey @mjjohnson1216 My first experience with Ss blogging was 2 yrs ago when Ss blogged about what they were reading #FLedChat

FirstAtBat Jul 20 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A2: I want to increase the volume..give them more space and opportunity. I want to widen the audience. #FLedChat

MrsTsMG Jul 20 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A2: planning 1st days, starting w emphasis on getting to know Ss w inventory, games that let them share voice w-out intimidation #FLedchat

reginaschaffer Jul 20 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: Pushback from admin/parents but I have learned if you prep them w/lots of information & even involve them it usually is fine.. #fledchat

mjjohnson1216 Jul 20 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4. Some will hesitate but if encouraged consistently they will join. #FLedchat https://t.co/GNGFiLYHet

caseyswift87 Jul 20 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Love having my kids make their own Google Forms- talk about giving them a voice! #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: Perhaps the potential 4 differing student opinion & challenge of meeting benchmarks. Time constraints. #FLedchat https://t.co/mED0gkpIlq

** Q4 ** What pitfalls do you foresee when you increase student voice in your school/class/district? #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jul 20 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@Celeste_Clemons What grade were the Ss in? #FLedchat

MrsTsMG Jul 20 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A2.2: in class meeting, want to involve Ss in class rules, share responsibility, practice goal setting #FLedchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@mjjohnson1216 4th grade #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Yes! We chose the best form last year and I tweeted it to the world. Students loved the global feedback. #FLedChat https://t.co/LDoFVRRzBY

caseyswift87 Jul 20 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Love having my kids make their own Google Forms- talk about giving them a voice! #FLedChat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@knikole I was thinking current events, experiences pertaining to literary texts and real life (connections).. Still thinking #FLedchat

reginaschaffer Jul 20 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@dene_gainey @knikole what grade are you? #fledchat

knikole Jul 20 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4 Biggest hurdle will be changing T mindset & classroom environments for Ss to have opportunities #FLedChat https://t.co/avoRWr9Bey

TG_Neil - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:37 PM EDT

** Q4 ** What pitfalls do you foresee when you increase student voice in your school/class/district? #FLedChat

FirstAtBat Jul 20 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4: Falling back to the easy and comfortable...what we are so use to doing. Giving them voice is a shift. #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jul 20 @ 8:41 PM EDT

Just found this resource about speaking & listening https://t.co/baG9jUYUSL Makes sense that Ss would need to develop these skills #FLedchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4: I am concerned that not all students will be heard. We will have to stay vigilant. #FLedChat

reginaschaffer Jul 20 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@dene_gainey @knikole jump right in as soon as you start...now I know Fl teachers have a preschool week to prepare #fledchat

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@reginaschaffer Yes I agree, lots of questions. But yes the more they know, the more on board they will be. #FLedchat

knikole Jul 20 @ 8:42 PM EDT

I really should finish packing my office buuuut #FLedChat is so good!

mjjohnson1216 Jul 20 @ 8:43 PM EDT

Why are you packing? A new adventure? #FLedchat https://t.co/HyXITKwoXq

knikole Jul 20 @ 8:42 PM EDT

I really should finish packing my office buuuut #FLedChat is so good!

LaShandaDH Jul 20 @ 8:43 PM EDT

I foresee the need to set boundaries. At the alt. school I work at, many students don't realize limits. #FledChat https://t.co/SxbbxA4tgs

TG_Neil - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:37 PM EDT

** Q4 ** What pitfalls do you foresee when you increase student voice in your school/class/district? #FLedChat

mjjohnson1216 Jul 20 @ 8:44 PM EDT

dene_gainey - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@reginaschaffer @knikole I'd love that! Class Press does allow for that, as blogs are viewable and commentable #FLedchat

knikole Jul 20 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@mjjohnson1216 Just bookmarked the site. Thanks for sharing! #FLedChat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A4 I want Ss to have the time they need & I do not want to limit their ideas nor do I want them to place limits on themselves #FLedChat

MrsTsMG Jul 20 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A3: S surveys, feedback in class meetings, and sentence starters like, "I wish my T knew..." are ways to be sure 'hearing' Ss #FLedchat

caseyswift87 Jul 20 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A3: I have watched Ss develop their voice and begin to see it has purpose and make a different. #FLedChat

MrsTsMG Jul 20 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A4: I don't see pitfalls, really, although empowering S voice includes balancing to hear quiet Ss, manage distractions, etc. #FLedchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Jul 20 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@dene_gainey @mjjohnson1216 A lot has def changed. Started w reading blogs then Ss expanded to their interests #fledchat
