-
Good point. I think we often teach teachers cool technology but not the best ways to use it.
-
A4) Tech's best purpose is to supplement the work of Ts and Ss - provide new ways to interact, experience, and create.
-
Follow breadcrumbs. If Ss ask, follow up. 1 S of mine thought I was a math T all year b/c someone asked a time ?
-
Set up allows for more space. not sure how individual Ss are managed, theres just been an increase in PBL work.
-

-
A4: Tech is to improve student achievement. Isn't that our goal as teachers?
-
A4:Important to teach Ss 21 century skills as things aren't the way it used to be when we grew up. Doing a disservice if we donโt
-
A4 Tech should be lively - measuring, moving, portable, creating, taking photos not just "sit n git".

-
is DA MAN! A Twitter first rounder, no doubt :) https://t.co/YroyCgAQUj
-
-
these questions you are asking are awesome!
-
to me it is important that I am challenged, however the teacher is there to help

I meant that it would be used for both. The students will be happier because classisn't as boring while teachers use it.

-
Q5 How do you answer educators who say R too busy for twitter? Inspired by keynoter & BUSY fella... 5
-
A3 Learning is Interesting, "want to" not told to, timely, leadership out in front, accepting of different views
-
A5: I can't even keep up with it hardly, it only takes a few seconds to participate
-
A5: just remain persistent.
-
A5: Edchats take time. But finding one good link or post a day doesnโt. And it can happen at any time.
-
A5:maybe you wouldn't be so busy if you got some tips on Twitter ๐
-
A5: I believe they are missing out on a great opportunity to become better educators and a great way to communicate with Ss.
-
A5: No excuses. Best PD and I don't want to be left behind.
-
A5: Teach them how to organize it. Hashtags. Quick reading.
-
Twitter doesn't have an expiration date. Look back and catch up. I may miss a lot of chats but I still go back and read.
-
A5) I'm a "soft touch". I try to bring it up when it naturally fits, eventually bring them in. No need to be pushy.
-
A5: A few minutes of time can provide you to connections around the world that are interested in the same things as you!
-
A5.2: seriously you can't afford to not take time for Twitter...
-
A5: I also just pull it up and show them.
-
A4: Tech is great, but it still has to be used w/ sound pedagogy and strategies! Tech coaches should focus on how to use tools!
-
A5. Are you ever too busy to improve?
-
A5: That they are missing out on the best PD there is! Twitter has opened my eyes to such positive changes in my classroom!
-
A5) "Huh, must be hard to not want to better yourself professionally. What a bummer."
-
A5: In education you are either moving forward or youโre remaining the same.
-
A5. to be better educators they need to branch out with other educators. Even if that means something other than Twitter
-
A5: They probably are scared to try it. Just sit down with them and help them get started.
-
A5: Encourage T to start slow, use tools like Tweetdeck and collaborate with building colleagues who are more proficient users.
-
Q5: chats lead to collaborative planning which can ultimately impact student achievement
-
A5: Twitter doesn't have an expiration date. Go back and read. Catch up on missed chats.
-
A5: Learning something new is always a challenge but think how much it will benefit you and students.
-
A5: it's can be hard getting on Twitter, but just taking a moment during lunch can help
-
A5: You must show them the connection between Twitter and how it will improve their teaching. Time is so valuable to them.
-
what are we are averaging - about a year right from first conversations?
-
That's a great point! https://t.co/EHkeLszaTh
-
-
A5: Twitter doesn't have an expiration date. Go back and read. Catch up on missed chats.
-
A5: If you can spend useless time watching TV, you can spend the same time learning Twitter. You have to want to learn
-
A5) Whenever somebody is too busy for something it is *almost always* a case of priorities, not time.
-
A5 Makes life easy. Best PD available. It's like creating your own search bar w/o having to type a letter after you follow
-
Walk the talk - show teachers their PICTURE posted on Twitter - interested??? Ya betcha
-
A5: I would understand. In teaching it can feel like there is always "one more thing." But there is a big benefit for little time
-
-
-
A3: persistence is key. Be firm and supportive
-
A4: to get kids involved and to have a more interactive learning within a classroom.
-
-
A5: Also use a site called TweetDeck. So helpful!
-
Q6 W is greatest obst n re imaging & creating new "Libraries" n schools today? Q Insp by keynoter
-
A5.3: we have ever tweeted big secrets, still hasn't gotten many people to participate!

A5: Don't share Twitter with teachers who complain about being too busy; share it with your superstars. They don't complain.
-
https://t.co/tnWG6XPdA8
-
-
Q6 W is greatest obst n re imaging & creating new "Libraries" n schools today? Q Insp by keynoter
-
A5.2 You have to be here to be cutting edge. The smartest person in the room...
-
A5: Our faculty who engage in social media are usually better connected with their students. It pays off.
-
Yep. Not everyone is good at using tech. Doesn't necessarily make them a bad teacher. https://t.co/EW6kyt9tdi
-
-
A5: Don't share Twitter with teachers who complain about being too busy; share it with your superstars. They don't complain.
-
A6 Stakeholder buy-in, fears of costs both tangible and intangible keep us from
-
A5) maybe a good answer to them would be: "Oh wow! Is there any way I can help? You must be *really* swamped!"
-
-
-
A5 A soon to be principal I know posted "Found it on Twitter" in restrooms - instant audience!
-
A6: People like traditional things, change is scary, budgets are scary
-
Always suspicious of those that complain but don't do. Try not to invite them into my twitterland.
-
In my district our HS Library is evolving into a collaborative learning environment with resources.
-
A6. Convincing people that there can be new and more useful methods for libraries to further help educate students.
-
A6: Budgets and fear of cost.
-
A6: Old-fashion thinking in new-world jobs, resources, technology, ideas...
-
A6: Can libraries be digital? All students have access at the same time through tech?
-
A6: Buy-in, cost, and learning new software.
-
A6 letting go of what has been there...
-
A6: in my school, tradition. Canโt speak for others though.
-
A6: Libraries are changing like other aspects of education. More technology and collaboration space instead of hard books!
-
-
A6: kids don't want to go to the library, w/ books now at in their fingertips!! add to teachers fear of change too
-
Q7 Who is your single biggest obastacle to change in your schools? No names please LOL
-
A6: So many people view libraries as "obsolete." I don't agree. But making them more contemporary will be good.
-
A6 "This is the way we've always done it around here" Have to re-evaluate purpose & goals
-
A6: Fear of change, tradition, knowledgeable staff.
-
A6: Budget, budget, budget. So many great ideas to bring change, but tough to pay for dramatic shift.
-
Q7 Who is your single biggest obastacle to change in your schools? No names please LOL
-
-
-
A6: I think my media crew is up for a change. I will make it happen. Is there an educational version of GoFundMe? lol
-
A7: parents with that school boards
-
-
A5 Some people are really busy. Judging teachers for not being on twitter is horribly unproductive and counter helpful.
-
A6 --The "vision" - why important - what could look like - YouTube Makerspaces ideas!!!
-
A7: Traditional teachers stuck in a rut and not willing to change
-
A7 Those who enforce policies blindly without questioning if the way it's currently being done is the way it should be done
-
A7. Thinking back to my high school it's the parents
-
A7: Colleagues (other teachers)... and sometimes Parents.
-
that would be cool. But Beginning readers do better with actual print though and you can't beat the smell of books
-
A7 We have great Ts that will do to their best whatever is asked. Getting the PD to do it to their best ability is a challenge
-
A5 It's almost like twitter isn't how everyone learns and we should accept differences in teachers. Like in our students.
-
A7: The one who doesnโt have time but is always at the copier b/c thatโs how itโs always been done.
-
A7: "We've always done it this way."
-
-
A7: Those that have always done it "this way" and have been in the building the longest are unfortunately the leaders to many
-
A7: People stuck in one way of thinking, learning, and not growing
-
A7: Not many in my district. But change can be scary so some resist too much change.
-
-
BTW love all these new folks on!! Love our future new hires.
-
-
I swear someone wrote a blog about that...
-
A7: Wanting to try to "fix" too many things at the same time.
-
Yes, and they've prioritized those other things over twitter, no? Sorry if that came off as judge-y.
-
A7: a coworker who doesn't like my brand of crazy and doesn't buy in to my vision. Hard to change that mindset
-
A7: Old school ways and ways of thinking.
-
A7: Back to HS, school board members who wouldn't agree on a decision.
-
A7 Maintenance & janitors....they like minimal change
-
A7: Testing culture can hold us back. It can be scary to try something new in case it doesn't work and scores drop.
-
A7: The "traditional" teacher (nearing retirement). Fear change. Have seen program after program and no follow through
-
-
There are principals who crave your kind of crazy! https://t.co/soG5FaZDwW
-
-
A7: a coworker who doesn't like my brand of crazy and doesn't buy in to my vision. Hard to change that mindset
-
A7) A few t's, a few p's, and the board. But mostly change is fine as long as it isn't change for change sake.
-
Retire for the kids sake darn it people :) Totally agree
-
I agree 100%! https://t.co/sfvsFghUON
-
-
A7: Testing culture can hold us back. It can be scary to try something new in case it doesn't work and scores drop.
-
-
Yeah, they've prioritized their time differently. Their learning differently. Twitter isn't the only way. It's one way.
-
-
A7 What needs to change? Might want to answer that Q first

Providing modeling and practice thinking through digital media-leading to evaluating https://t.co/xYx0OL0PgF

How do you get students past consumption in todays world? Inspired by keynoter
-
A8. Student centered learning is key.
-
A8: It's really hard. Try to motivate by being enthusiastic and offering engaging lessons.
-
-
A8: Show them a new way to utilize these resources, they have a very limited view of what they can do with tech
-
A8: Authentic Learning. Service projects in the community. Teach them to leave a legacy.
-
My 5/6ers WANT to create. They are so curious! WE have to allow them to try w/o knowing everything ourselves.
-
If a conversation about twitter & priorities & what's going on ends up w/somebody learning, its a win. https://t.co/6cJx54Cqpp
-
-
Yeah, they've prioritized their time differently. Their learning differently. Twitter isn't the only way. It's one way.
-
A8: As educators we need to teach deeper and not wider! Need to show Ss the importance of quality not quantity.
-
A8. Have more creative opportunities for students. Have them focus on something else
-
A8) I better learn that first.
-
A8: teach them they have something to contribute. If they try it once they will understand.
-
A8: make more real world connections through keep them busy solving community problems and change their
-
-
A8 Ss work if they see relevance & purpose. How might what I do influence the world around me? Making a dif is big w Ss today
-
A8: Allow them to be creative.
-
Let them see they can make a real difference.
-
A8: helping kids to get engage and to apply it to themselves and the world
-
A8: Application of content to real life. Using the 4Cs. Not giving answers, but guiding them to find answers themselves.
-
A8: Find ways to show students creative/new tech is fun and super relevant.
-
A8: Validate their thinking. More open ended work. Move away from one right answer or way.

-
A9 is another great tool in the toolbox. Not required. Recommended with relevant application.
-
A8. Problem Based/Project Based Learning, and Service Learning can help with creation.
-
A9 I think it should be part of new Teacher training
-
A9: coding should be required, early and often. Ts should be willing to learn & try. Doesnโt have to be complicated.
-
yup. I love IB schools for this reason! How to serve your community and world is always part of the conversation
-
A9: My opinion: Coding should be offered, but not required and no, not all Ts need to know it.
-
A5. It's always good to get out of your comfort zone and try something new, especially if it can benefit your teaching
-
-
A9) coding is an extension- not a required learning. A nice to know learning. Can impact the must know learning though.
-
A7: I have a student who thinks that every time we tell him not to do something, that means we "hate him". I want to change that.
-
A9 Coding should play a larger role - training? PD? Who? Games for young children to learn coding
-
A9: I would love to see coding offered as a foreign language.
-
A9: I think it should b taught, but not forced!!! Every class and teacher is different
-
when I think back to what I remember in school it's when I had to solve a problem for my community
-
A9: Coding should be at least an elective that is highly recommended & even given strong consideration as a HS requirement
-
A9: I think coding is a great way to teach logic, something that has a huge practical advantage to teaching them separately
-
A9: I think it is relevant and meaningful but not required. Like most things it is easier than Ts think.
-
A9 That Q will be posed to our Ts next yr. IMO it should be part of comp cert. Financial literacy is also a factor
-
A9: I love coding and I love how my students took to it like ducks to water! Empowering stuff!
-
A9. Coding is an essential skill.
-
A4. Tech helps keep students interacting and collaborating. Same reasons as any interactive element, just now its virtual.
