A1 #TECHTalkGA:
Good evening, friends! I proudly lead personalized learning and innovation with Jackson County Schools (@JCSchoolSystem#OneJacksonGA), and I'm not watching the Emmy's tonight. TV for me is usually off or serving as neutral background noise.
A1: Kris Plummer, Digital Learning Specialist at Jefferson City Schools - finally got my kids in bed at a reasonable hour. No Emmy's for me tonight #TECHtalkGA
A1: Hi everyone! My name is Nadia. I work in Cobb County as the Digital Learning Coordinator.
I just got back from the grocery store, so no, the Emmys aren't on...but maybe they should be?
#TECHtalkGA
Hello, #TECHtalkGA!
I'm Angela, your host for the evening! I'm the Dist ITS for MS/HS in Forsyth Co, and also a French 1 T for our virtual school.
I have the Emmy's on, but not watching. Just hoping for the best for Outlander!!
A1: The #GaETC18 team is representing tonight! We officially partner with #TechTalkGA leading up to the conference in November, so be sure to join in every week!
As for the Emmy's, we are a team divided!
A1: Rhonda Stroud. LSTC for Lanier HS in Gwinnett. And I am not currently watching The Emmy’s. I’ve been trying to clear off my DVR. #TECHtalkGA#gwinchat
A2 #TECHTalkGA: I am a "round table" kind of #edtech leader; I lean upon my #PLN, for example:
My #floydpln friends, collab-ing across the state with me;
My @GAIDELorg fellow change-makers; we lift up each other regularly;
My #OneJacksonGA media specialists leading the charge!
A2: My nod goes to the ensemble cast of teachers that I get to work with everyday. I learn more from them than any single tweeting head I follow. #TECHtalkGA
A1 - Hi! I'm Mandy Buckenham, ITS for Floyd County Schools. I had to surrender the remote to the guys in my house after I watched the red carpet arrivals. They could only take so much! #TECHtalkGA
A2: WOW this is a tough one!! I’m going to take local stars for $200 @MmeBurgess. I love to chat it up with my co-moderators @maryelenderwest and @iamvlewis. They have great inspiring ideas and support whenever I need them!! #TECHtalkGA#gwinchat
#TECHtalkGA A2: I have a number of people who LEAD me, but my top nominees are @CatFlippen, @amyvitala, and @edtechteach3. Their influence on leading me might vary but they have all been influential in leading me to be a leader.
A2: Oh wow. Feeling inspired by @catflippen, and I can't choose just one.
I know it may sound canned, but all of y'all along with my #CobbChat and @edcampcobb family. I also love learning from the brilliant minds at @SXSWEDU.
#TECHtalkGA
A3 #TechTalkGA:
My best support comes in the form of #edtech soul food -- the students you impact, the teachers whose lives you change, the #edtech peers who become your friends, the initiatives that move the marker forward, even just one baby step.
A2: While it is not necessarily #edtech, I love the leadership of @SteeleThoughts. Fantastic follow, and always provides great insight into leadership and positivity! #TECHtalkGA
A2: We are grateful for all the magic and hours upon hours of work put forth by our volunteers! #GaETC18 would not happen and #edtech change would be further empowered each year without YOUR passion and time! Thank you!
#TECHTalkGA
A3: @siegmundIT gave me a ton of support and encouragement when I was making the switch from band nerd to tech nerd. Made me a much more confident tech leader! #techtalkga
A1 - Tech Coach in Savannah, Emmys are on (but not in this room)
A2 - My most inspirational peeps are the #GTTribe, the people in #TECHtalkGA, my colleagues who challenge me, and #GAIDEL who raises the bar all the time!
#TECHtalkGA A3:
My supports are sometimes the same as my leads, but I also have to shout out my Dream Team: @educatorwilson & @TraceyAbercromb. I would not survive without their friendship & support!
A3: I'd have to say the Twitter and FB groups I am a part of. There are so many ideas, lessons and learning tools to help each other with. No one is hoarding their ideas and we are not ashamed to learn from one another. #TechTalkGA
A1: Hollie Sisk from Georgia Southern Univ College of Ed, Director of Instructional Resources Center. Yes, Emmy's are on, but I'm doing a million other things to catch up around the house. #TECHTalkGA
A3: These are awesome questions! My twitter PLN, and @nearpod. The other #PioNears are an amazing group that provides insight, help, and motivation! #TECHtalkGA
A3 - The fabulous teachers from #floydpln are always to willing to let me come into their classrooms and try new ideas with their students, even the ones where we aren't sure how it will turn out. We constantly learn from each other! #TECHtalkGA
A3 My Tech Director @hboykin414 is so supportive of what I do and is great about letting me know that she is appreciative! I could not do what I do without her support :) #blessedtechcoach#TechTalkGA
A3: This tweet comes from 1 of our team, the @GaETConf Social Media Chair:
I'd like to thank @MmeBurgess and @edtechteach3 for being the most supportive teammates AND friends. I'll never be able to fully express my gratefulness for you. Jeans allowed on Friday! :-) #TechTalkGA
A4: It's probably not polite to vote for oneself, right? 😂
In all seriousness, I love watching @mrhooker, @mikekleba, and @Fresh_Professor present on anything. I feel like my brain and life awareness grow tenfold.
#TECHtalkGA
After a day of sitting in front of the computer, mixed in with some evening gym, I am going to call it a night. I look forward to seeing what everyone shares in the AM! Have a great night! #TECHtalkGA
A4: not sure if this is what you’re looking for, but i love the unsplash photos add-on in slides and @PearDeck add-on for the classrooms trainings. #TECHtalkGA
A4: Have you all seen AMAZING #GaETC18 pre-conference workshop schedule? We have several #TechTalkGA rockstars providing some incredible learning!
Check it out and come join us! https://t.co/pGAC9php3P
A4: I love anything in person like EdCamps, EdTech Summits or even our county digital learning day where I can be introduced to new tech tools to play with and try in class
#TechTalkGA
A4: my first @GaETConf knocked me off my feet last year!! Then I went to @edtechteam Google Summit and I was overjoyed even more! So they round out the race together with my EdCamp crew close on their heels!! I love learning so I can’t choose just 1!! #TECHtalkGA#gwinchat
Get ready for a LEVEL UP on your GaETC experience this year, @RhondaStroud9...
#GaETC18 is blowing our minds already!
Starting checking your emails/spam folders this Friday, folks! #TechTalkGA

A4 - Oh my goodness, I was lucky enough to win a ticket to the Southern Summit last spring, and it was the best experience learning from folks like @crafty184@maryelenderwest@NataliaLeMoyne and others. They are all such fabulous presenters! #TECHtalkGA
A5: I would say the teachers who use #edtech tools in their classes and share their experiences are the "straight talkers"
The experiences of others makes me want to try new tools in my classes.
#TechTalkGA
#TECHtalkGA A5:
Straight talk you say (I say?)? No one does it better than @alicekeeler, @gcouros, or @casas_jimmy ...
They tell it like it is, whether you want to hear it or not.
A5: For me it has to be the 25-30 year teachers who have every right to phone it in until retirement that took part in our Google Certification cohort last semester. #techtalkga

A5: @PrincipalKafele and @brewerhm always drop jewels of truth I love to read/hear about!! And at the risk of tooting my own horn, if you get to know me, I’m a straight from the hip shooter!! 😉 #TECHtalkGA#gwinchat
Great chat tonight, #TECHtalkGA! Thanks to everyone who participated!

Hey #TECHtalkGA if you’re looking for something to do Wednesday night, #gwinchat is back and we are talking about Instructional Planning!! Tell your friends!!
A5: Our concurrent session presenters and our attendees keep is real for us!
Your passion, authenticity, and drive to learn and make a difference in students' lives makes @GaETConf what it is: a big family reunion and a place to inspire each other!
#GaETC18#TechTalkGA
A5 - I have quickly found that @ejstallings and @CatFlippen will always say exactly what needs to be said. I really admire them for that, & I need to try to be a little bit more like that myself! #TechTalkGA
