Q1 How can we redesign media centers to meet the 21century needs of our students, community and teachers? #fledchat https://t.co/Fag25jxEZY

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:03 PM EST

As we #FLedchat tonight, remember Questions are labled Q1, Q2, etc. so answers are labeled A1, A2, etc.

Also, remember to include #FLedChat in your tweets so we can all share in your brillance.

nathan_stevens Feb 3 @ 8:05 PM EST

@FLRichter A1 media centers are a space that combine multiple literacies. It is also a space that one teacher does not own #fledchat

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:05 PM EST

I'm excited to be nominated as a finalist for top education blogger in FL! Vote https://t.co/N8WIxr2gan #fledchat https://t.co/KT2NkTHLXV

Impact of School Libraries on Student Achievement @LRS_CO #FLedchat https://t.co/4GykqQICCW

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:06 PM EST

A1: Media Centers are so much more than libraries now. We should be including spaces for a wide variety of activities. #FLedChat

Planning2Learn Feb 3 @ 8:06 PM EST

#fledchat a1 more focus on the different types of literacies...digital tech visual

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1: We are beginning to implement student collaborative learning stations (flat panels with wireless projection capabilities). #FLedChat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:07 PM EST

@TG_Neil very true...media centers include books, tech, makerspace etc #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:07 PM EST

@professorjosh Congrats on the nomination #Fledchat

VeliaViola1 Feb 3 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1 I always tell my staff, use what works for you. Build capacity, when something is #awesome I share with everyone #FLedChat

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: I think more collaboration to meet community needs, not just schools. Combine resources! Maker space! Digital kingdoms! #fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:09 PM EST

@amybrowns Yes, we have a model for iPads and 1 for laptops. The iPad model allows multiple Ss to project their screen at a time. #FLedChat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:09 PM EST

@Planning2Learn absolutely....media centers should appeal all students and a variety of learning styles #fledchat

VeliaViola1 Feb 3 @ 8:10 PM EST

@FLRichter Thanks! #FLedChat

VeliaViola1 Feb 3 @ 8:10 PM EST

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:11 PM EST

Q2 in one min #Fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:11 PM EST

Q2 How can we use maker spaces to increase engagement and achievement in middle schools? #FLedchat

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:12 PM EST

@FLRichter I haven't seen that in k12 but the @MelroseOrlando center with @oclslibrary is a good example #fledchat

VeliaViola1 Feb 3 @ 8:12 PM EST

@FLRichter @professorjosh Yes! Parent Council for engagement, great tool is #twitter classes, and #remind as well as #classdojo #FLedChat

Planning2Learn Feb 3 @ 8:12 PM EST

#fledchat do you ever wonder what the Dewey decimal system will look like in 50 yrs?

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:13 PM EST

@Planning2Learn spaces need to be created to get away and escape from commotion in some media centers #fledchat

MagicPantsJones Feb 3 @ 8:13 PM EST

A2 Check out Maker tools to students and teachers to make learning more touchable. #FLedChat

Planning2Learn Feb 3 @ 8:13 PM EST

#fledchat a2 I think there needs to be themed areas that link to standards and free thinking zones.

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2: Giving students an outlet to try things, learn about persistence, and apply their knowledge. #FLedChat

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:14 PM EST

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2 @FLRichter I want to see maker buses! Travel around to engage schools and community. #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: Maker spaces allow all Ss to explore the possibilities. Middle School Ss are still kids that need to play & discover. #FLedChat

VeliaViola1 Feb 3 @ 8:16 PM EST

@professorjosh Digital Kingdoms, Ss love creating, #minecraft #makerspace #FLedChat

A2 make that media center a hub of innovation. Furniture, charging stations, tall tables for coffee house collaboration. #fledchat

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:18 PM EST

@KristinCHarr @FLRichter I have not! I know @FacturLabs would love to bring maker community to schools too #fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:19 PM EST

@VeliaViola1 @FLRichter Yes, too cute. Can't wait for the next ones. #FLedChat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:19 PM EST

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:20 PM EST

@FLRichter @VeliaViola1 @KristinCHarr That's where a community area in the media center comes in handy. #FLedChat

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:20 PM EST

@FLRichter @VeliaViola1 @KristinCHarr That's the real issue, Internet should be a basic necessity in our communities #fledchat

shelley4tech Feb 3 @ 8:21 PM EST

A2 and variety to hook 'em. Green screens, robotics, digital storytelling. And probs to solve, the true maker persona #SRCteach #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:21 PM EST

Q3 What are best practices for scheduling/course offerings of struggling students? #FLedchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:21 PM EST

@KristinCHarr @FLRichter I know! me too! #classdojo #rocks #fledchat

MagicPantsJones Feb 3 @ 8:23 PM EST

A3 For elem - for me, at least, it's about finding what connects Ss to the content. Bring it to their door. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:23 PM EST

A3: First look at WHY they are struggling. It just may be that they haven't found a connection between their passions & education. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:24 PM EST

@professorjosh @VeliaViola1 @FLRichter @KristinCHarr I so wish that were possible here but rural areas are too spread out. #FLedChat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:24 PM EST

A3: They should have access to PBL and other engaging content just like gifted students. #FLedChat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:25 PM EST

@TG_Neil very true. We need to find the connections before jumping #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:26 PM EST

@KristinCHarr How long have you used PBL? What have you seen as results? #FLedchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:26 PM EST

@TG_Neil So true! Ss must see the relevance of what they are learning. Ss are thinking "What's in it for me?" #Fledchat

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:26 PM EST

@shelley4tech @professorjosh @FLRichter @KristinCHarr At this time no, but families always have access to local libraries #fledchat

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:28 PM EST

I love schools & libraries getting subscription for users on Lynda, Treehouse, Code School and more online resources! #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:30 PM EST

I learned about @Everyone_On at @MrChase seminar at #FETC #FLedchat

@professorjosh Really?! Great idea! So open licenses for self-selected S deep dives. So smart! #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:32 PM EST

Since we are chatting about connectivity... Q4 What are the pros/cons of a flipped classroom? #FLedchat

shelley4tech Feb 3 @ 8:32 PM EST

@technologyWIN @FLRichter Closing that digital divide is the rally cry of Connect Ed n will have to b part of Obama comp sci init #fledchat

#FLEdChat A4: more time working 1:1 with Ss

WriteOnJulie Feb 3 @ 8:33 PM EST

Do libraries need to reinvent? Or just added to? Or does there need to be a whole other space entirely? #fledchat https://t.co/JuawYHJVXy

amybrowns Feb 3 @ 8:05 PM EST

Q1 How today's libraries are reinventing themselves as #Makerspaces #ConnectIT https://t.co/AzvN2rBiUL via @EdTech_K12 #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:33 PM EST

@FirstAtBat Everyoneon works to provide families low cost internethttp://everyoneon.org/about/ #fledchat

FirstAtBat Feb 3 @ 8:34 PM EST

A4: I don't think we are there yet with connected Ps in our district. Personally, I don't want to take from family time. #fledchat

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:34 PM EST

A3: I guess most of those students aren't getting the support at home too. More after schools programs that don't cost an arm &leg #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:34 PM EST

A4: I prefer a blended learning model. I want to see the learning on some topics. #FLedChat

shelley4tech Feb 3 @ 8:34 PM EST

A4 time time and more time for 1:1 support of the learning and the application and the inquisition #fledchat #SRCteach

MagicPantsJones Feb 3 @ 8:35 PM EST

A4 It's hard for the teachers who thrive on "winging it" to flip. #fledchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:35 PM EST

A4 Flipped class is my thing. Pros: more face time with Ss. Lessons repeat at Ss pace. Self-direction, ownership of learning #fledchat

Techsimons Feb 3 @ 8:35 PM EST

#FLEdChat A4: con-not all students have access from home

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:35 PM EST

@WriteOnJulie I would see it as an add on, similar to a video room, microfilm, periodicals, etc #fledchat

PMcPeake1 Feb 3 @ 8:35 PM EST

#FLedChat A4 Flipped can allow S's to work at their own pace and involve parents but some S's don't do the work at home.

shelley4tech Feb 3 @ 8:36 PM EST

@WriteOnJulie @amybrowns @EdTech_K12 Great Q! Perhaps we latched on to libes as the only lg open space on campuses #fledchat #SRCteach

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:36 PM EST

A4: Pro - more learning in the classroom for active learning, projects, and special activities #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:36 PM EST

@Techsimons true but what about when tech breaks; capital funds can't support tech services; wondering how do you fund support? #Fledchat

technologyWIN Feb 3 @ 8:36 PM EST

@shelley4tech @FLRichter True, but there are community organizations that are coming together to create the wifi w/ out the gov. #fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:36 PM EST

A4: If I Flipped, I would include interactive elements like discussion, feedback tool, etc. or in class Station Rotation Model. #FLedChat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:36 PM EST

@Techsimons No,they don't. I have flipped for 3 yrs with great success. As a T you find a way if this is what you are vested in #fledchat

shelley4tech Feb 3 @ 8:37 PM EST

@FirstAtBat great thought. With today's family structure is it best to send home practice? #fledchat #SRCteach

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:37 PM EST

A4: Con - they don't get the work done at home, don't have technology/ internet access, parents don't support student #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:37 PM EST

@Celeste_Clemons and the cons? #Fledchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:37 PM EST

@KristinCHarr All these elements enrich your flip class. But baby steps in the beginning. #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:38 PM EST

@Techsimons so how do you over come that obstacle? #fledchat

FirstAtBat Feb 3 @ 8:38 PM EST

I don't. I send home the skills and suggest talking about learning. No additional work. #Fledchat https://t.co/gW8YLxm98j

shelley4tech Feb 3 @ 8:37 PM EST

@FirstAtBat great thought. With today's family structure is it best to send home practice? #fledchat #SRCteach

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:38 PM EST

Q5 in one minute #Fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:39 PM EST

A4 you could have a computer or 2 at the start of class to allow Ss w/o tech to learn while others do a bellringer #Fledchat

shelley4tech Feb 3 @ 8:39 PM EST

@MagicPantsJones Is it winging or intuitive T who has such monumentl subj area expertise that heshe can bob n weave :) #fledchat #SRCteach

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:40 PM EST

Q5 Scheduling: Block or not to Block? If block,what is the best practice for a middle/high school?If not,what scheduling is best? #FLedchat

CoreyAppelbaum Feb 3 @ 8:40 PM EST

Jumping in late on (A4), with flipped classroom I would be able to access the teaching at home & can apply the learning in class #fledchat

@shelley4tech A little from column A, a little from column B. #fledchat

shelley4tech Feb 3 @ 8:41 PM EST

@Techsimons So true. Can't do it w out before after school opps for S to work in classroom #fledchat #SRCteach

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:41 PM EST

@CoreyAppelbaum glad you could stop by...jump in anywhere :) #Fledchat

MagicPantsJones Feb 3 @ 8:41 PM EST

@PMcPeake1 Yes, but I'm not sure I have the attention span to put together videos in advance... #fledchat

CoreyAppelbaum Feb 3 @ 8:41 PM EST

#fledchat so when I was late like tonight I can access content at my own pace as we know all our students learn at the same pace 😉

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:41 PM EST

A5: I would love to see something in the middle. Some blocks and some traditional would allow for some cool options. #FLedChat

FirstAtBat Feb 3 @ 8:41 PM EST

Agree. If it doesn't match your philosophy, you won't be successful. Or it doesn't fit your Ss needs. #Fledchat https://t.co/e8ZBZcjtSB

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:40 PM EST

@Celeste_Clemons @KristinCHarr I think that true in trying anything new! Learn what works for you & your students #fledchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:41 PM EST

@FLRichter or Ss come in before school, afterschool, burn vids to dvd (playstation, xbox), or put on flash drive, or use itunes U. #fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:42 PM EST

A5: With mostly elementary experience, I think I would definitely need the block schedule. #FLedChat

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:42 PM EST

@PMcPeake1 I think transportation becomes a factor in too many educational initiatives- such a charter or tiny schools #fledchat

shelley4tech Feb 3 @ 8:44 PM EST

@PMcPeake1 I'm not in clssrm,but heard flip hw can be done so engagingly that those who nevr did hw jump on it.True? #fledchat #SRCteach

professorjosh Feb 3 @ 8:44 PM EST

Has anyone in #fledchat heard about the Tiny Schools concept? https://t.co/7UzfiGWoSA #futureofschool

CoreyAppelbaum Feb 3 @ 8:44 PM EST

A4) a con can be that it could feel as a teacher that we are relinquishing some control, which is never an easy feeling #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:44 PM EST

A5b: I think it would be great to have a block of time at end of day for alternate day electives (passion classes). #FLedChat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:44 PM EST

A4 What about a hybrid schedule? block for some period for others? Ss learn at different rates for different subjects #Fledchat

shelley4tech Feb 3 @ 8:45 PM EST

@FLRichter @Techsimons grt point. Gotta bld that into district and or schl budgets #fledchat #SRCteach

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:45 PM EST

https://t.co/OTHDt1Z9z5 @SirKenRobinson Ss learn at different rates #Fledchat

@KristinCHarr Yes, definitely block for elementary. #fledchat

@FLRichter I actually had this myself in middle and high school. Morning was block and after lunch was period. #fledchat

I remember in high school we had 2 hour blocks with 3 classes a day MR TF and wed was a 6 classes for short day #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:48 PM EST

Q6 Is reading necessary for middle grade students who are on level? #FLedchat

shelley4tech Feb 3 @ 8:48 PM EST

@CoreyAppelbaum Ooh...is this then the ultimate paradigm shift? Control to learners wrapped w a bow? #SRCteach #fledchat

MagicPantsJones Feb 3 @ 8:49 PM EST

@PMcPeake1 I don't know, I never wrapped my head around flipping. I've got too many other ideas fighting to get out... #fledchat

amybrowns Feb 3 @ 8:49 PM EST

A6 YES! Everyone needs reading. They are on level where they are, but can always read more! #fledchat

bennie965 Feb 3 @ 8:49 PM EST

It's not the block or the period that matters most, it is what you do with the time. #Fledchat

A6: Really? Oh my I hope the answer is yes. #fledchat

@bennie965 Sometimes the best teaching and inspiration has occurred in just a few minutes of discussion #FLedchat

MagicPantsJones Feb 3 @ 8:50 PM EST

A6 Um, yes. #fledchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:50 PM EST

A6 Reading is necessary for all students at all levels. #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:51 PM EST

@MagicPantsJones but why? if they are meeting expectations? #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:51 PM EST

A6: A class specifically for Reading? Not so sure of that. Classes that emphasize reading? Most definitely. #FLedChat

amybrowns Feb 3 @ 8:51 PM EST

A6 the on level and advanced readers would probably LOVE extra reading time! #fledchat (if not, let me pretend)

shelley4tech Feb 3 @ 8:52 PM EST

@FLRichter @bennie965 and you go home feeling that 2 minutes made this the best teaching day ever #SRCteach #fledchat

@professorjosh how would you #inspire ? #fledchat

CoreyAppelbaum Feb 3 @ 8:52 PM EST

A6) to this day my vocabulary grows when I read a book and sit with phone in hand looking up new words & hearing the pronunciation #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:52 PM EST

@amybrowns I agree -- so should reading be a mandatory elective? If so, its not really an elective #Fledchat

CoreyAppelbaum Feb 3 @ 8:52 PM EST

#FLedChat A6 Reading is about more than gr level. It makes your wold bigger.

MagicPantsJones Feb 3 @ 8:52 PM EST

@FLRichter Is that all it's about? Excuse me, but flush expectations. Where do we go from there? Way more interesting! #fledchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:52 PM EST

@FLRichter @MagicPantsJones Whose expectations? The "State"? Ha...We know what our Ss need. #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:52 PM EST

Two more questions to try to squeeze in #FLedchat

FLRichter Feb 3 @ 8:53 PM EST

Q7 Should we expand sports in the middle school? If yes, should it go back to intramurals or team sports? #FLedchat

SandraWinburn Feb 3 @ 8:53 PM EST

A6 reading opens worlds of possibilities. It's where students can find their passion. #FledChat

amybrowns Feb 3 @ 8:53 PM EST

@FLRichter personally I think reading is more relevant that today's English classes (coming from an English teacher)... so yes... #fledchat

@FLRichter @VeliaViola1 @professorjosh @KristinCHarr Love!!Thx for the share! #fledchat #SRCteach

@FLRichter @amybrowns not as a separate class, but as part of other classes #fledchat

A6: I don't think there's a level to reach We can alway go deeper and beyond Ss may need the place they may not choose to go there #fledchat

@WriteOnJulie @FLRichter yes and no....in a utopia where all classes are merged....like the real world... #fledchat

Dondee94 Feb 3 @ 8:55 PM EST

Reading should be a core subject- back to an essential basic. #fledchat

MagicPantsJones Feb 3 @ 8:55 PM EST

@PMcPeake1 Right on! Maybe one day. If it works for you, rock it! Your teaching will always be better that way. #fledchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:55 PM EST

@WriteOnJulie @FLRichter @amybrowns Agreed! Reading should never be an elective. We don't "elect" not to read. Rdg is everywhere. #fledchat

Intramurals would bring great in- school competition and needed outlet for spirited play in key sports. #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 3 @ 8:56 PM EST

I for one would have HATED a reading class in HS or MS. I love to read but being forced to just for a class was torture. #FLedchat

MagicPantsJones Feb 3 @ 8:56 PM EST

@FLRichter Meeting expectations snds like a plan for mundane to me. I want Ss to go down rabbit holes & find the real interesting.#fledchat
