How do you get parent buy-in for digital learning initiatives? #whyedtech https://t.co/o7ap5ZD7Rg

KristinZiemke - Moderator May 25 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A6 We must teach parents too! They need info as well. Parent hands-on events with LMS, blog, twitter are a must #WhyEdTEch

laertonEDU May 25 @ 8:52 PM EDT

manuelherrera33 Districts & schools can find creative ways to promote equity & access, but funding is a big part of the solution #whyedtech

@manuelherrera33 Absolutely! Interesting ideas from @TechNinjaTodd on flipped learning with no internet: https://t.co/EOGpTYyVzB #whyedtech

KristinZiemke - Moderator May 25 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Same! @slm12 my flipped lessons for students became parent tutorials for comprehension instruction in a workshop classroom #WhyEdTech

FloradTeach May 25 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7 still learning, developing a website for Ts I work with for next year, also started using google docs with my Ss this year. #WhyEdTech

JYoung1st May 25 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@KristinZiemke @isteconnects #whyedtech Love this idea!

littime May 25 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7 #whyedtech student blogs, classroom twitter handles, celebrate what Ss are learning!

JJDLagrange May 25 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A7 My next goal is to use tech in a meaningful way for Ss to reflect on their learning & set goals #WhyEdTech

slm12 May 25 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@littime I have thought about doing a classroom twitter handle and a classroom snapchat for next year. #whyedtech

GeoffCyr May 25 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@saradoherty411 Not to mention digital "common sense." 7 year olds playing Call of Duty? Really? #whyedtech

A7 Dying to have individual Ss use tech to connect more with authors. Always modeling, doing as whole class. Would love ideas. #whyedtech

slm12 May 25 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@lynnahagen Me too! Are you doing the #patioPD on July 14? Thinking about it as a way to intro colleagues to twitter. #whyedtech
