A1: digital users. inside a lot, no exploring neighborhoods, staying out til dark. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A1 Ss have more tech, less hands-on experience (lack of outdoors), but in some ways are more worldly. still curious though! #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A1: They have been exposed to so much more at a young age because of tech. At ame time they have been sheltered (from work, failure) #txed

matthew_arend Oct 19 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A1: Are children different or are they just exposed to more and at a faster rate? #txed https://t.co/zQbk8WgDAx

Q1- In what ways are children today different from 5, 10 or 15 years ago? #TXed

SIOWehmeyer Oct 19 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A1: 5 yrs ago, students started having internet in their home or could easily access it, having their own phones and tablets ...#TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@laffinglibrary so true with the staying inside comment. I "push" my kids out the door...and take their devices as they leave. #txed

LBell_Yegua Oct 19 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A1need 4 instant gratification; "entertain me" mindset; challenge authority (this has existed b4 but not as often as we see 2day w/S) #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@matthew_arend I think because they are exposed, they are different. They approach things differently. #txed

lori_lreyes Oct 19 @ 9:42 PM EDT

technology savvy #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@matthew_arend hard to say. things are more politically correct now, but they are exposed to more viewpoints also. #txed

YodaPond Oct 19 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A1: Simply put: technology. They have more access to information that is both pushed and pulled which creates a sense of overload. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@YodaPond I think it also takes some of the wonder out of learning. Instead of discussing and guessing, they just google the answer. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd @YodaPond true. no card catalogs and https://t.co/dO7pvtOE9b #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@vbordano Great point. Many can problem solve better. They can often help themselves...or at least Google and YouTube can help. #txed

SIOWehmeyer Oct 19 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd @YodaPond YES!!! If its on the internet, it must be true #txed

matthew_arend Oct 19 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd Ss who have been exposed, yes. The digital gap creates an exposure gap more so today than 5 years ago. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@KelleyJAndrews @YodaPond or even just "I wonder" discussions. I try to have a conversation with my kids before we just Google it. #txed

@matthew_arend I would argue that the gap is now closing. Even those in poverty seem to have a device now that gets them access. #txed

TXEDMod - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Question 2 is coming up! #TXed

April_Riley Oct 19 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A1: not sure if Ss really have changed or if pedagogy is finally catching up to what all Ss need #visuallearners #handson #authentic #txed

matthew_arend Oct 19 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@KelleyJAndrews agreed, if we assume all Ss are being exposed. Exposure happens at different rates. Maybe that's the big change #txed

TXEDMod - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:47 PM EDT

Q2- How do/can teachers be supportive of children today? #TXed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd @matthew_arend i can see that also. ss lack experiences from poverty camp, vacation, travel. it's beyond devices #txed

laffinglibrary Oct 19 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A2: understand that their home life may not be like mine growing up. School might be the place they feel safe and loved enough #txed

YodaPond Oct 19 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Agreed; I also encounter students who rise to the challenge when you ask them to transform the info pulled and create.. @pwagnerlcisd #txed

vbordano Oct 19 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A2 #txed make relationships-find the Ss passion-help them bring it to life within any discipline.

matthew_arend Oct 19 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd in general, but I see that assumption being shared and it's a broad stroke. #txed

LBell_Yegua Oct 19 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A2 incorporate tech as much as possible; expose them to non tech/ "old tech" fun and discovery #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A2: Don't think this has changed. Love'em. Let them know that you love'em. Listen. Maybe the platform u communicate on is different. #txed

JennMillsap Oct 19 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A2 start by listening. So often people in general do not listen. They hear it and respond. But they do not listen #TXed

matthew_arend Oct 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd just cause access is more equal doesn't mean how it's being used is. Right? Education is key. #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2 Teachers need to be an equalizer, master of differentiation, provider of experiences, hands-on and virtual. #txed

SIOWehmeyer Oct 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A2 : but we must also understand technology may not always be the best way, right @Tommyspall ?#txed

lori_lreyes Oct 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

let them know they are important and make school a safe place-it might be the only one they have #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@matthew_arend Looking at it from either view is a broad stroke. That's where individualized instruction is important. #txed

YodaPond Oct 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2: That sense of wonder can always be triggered, developed, and supported so that they find a passion which turns into a purpose... #txed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

I know..bwahahahahah! #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@matthew_arend totally agree. Not only access but the awareness of how to utilize it correctly and safely. #txed

matthew_arend Oct 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@April_Riley @pwagnerlcisd yes and when that's the case the access is a toy. Not necessarily a learning device. Education is vital. #txed

SIOWehmeyer Oct 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2: our kids are enjoying basic MakerSpace opportunities every Friday... no tech involved ;) #txed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A2-Think we really need to listen. Kids are going through a lot this day and age #TXed

@LBell_Yegua What a great thing to say! #txed

matthew_arend Oct 19 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@pwagnerlcisd yes. That's happening in schools, but we are talking access. The access in school is = but when they leave, maybe not. #txed

Great answer here! #txed https://t.co/MUF1DOclqN

Microsoft_EDU Oct 19 @ 9:51 PM EDT

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT

A2-We have to understand that our kids now live in an age where they can just Google. Must have strong relationship and challenge them #TXed

A3-The little ones are easy. Get out there for duty, go to the playground, get in the classroom. #TXed

A3 same way teaches always have. Share stories, go to games, take time out to get to know them. #TXed

PrincipalOgg - Moderator Oct 19 @ 9:59 PM EDT

Our district allows kids to have email for Google Class. They can email a teacher or me but not outside the district #TXed

A4: Show them how to use and appreciate technology. Programs like @ZincLearning Labs where gamification is strongly integrated. #txed

ChouinardJahant Oct 19 @ 10:12 PM EDT
