jurczak Mar 7 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1 turn learning from static, 1 time/1 place experience to any time/any where #LearnLAP

PaulSolarz - Moderator Mar 7 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1 - We use Weebly in our classroom as a Blended Learning LMS. Directions online, students post online: https://t.co/ekadVGM5cx #LearnLAP

KimberlyOnak1 Mar 7 @ 8:11 PM EST

ARutschke Mar 7 @ 8:13 PM EST

@PaulSolarz I LOVE Weebly too! We've added Google Classroom integration that has really helped with our GAFE usage! #LearnLAP

StefaniePitzer Mar 7 @ 8:14 PM EST

@KimberlyOnak1 Before Canvas went live, Google Classroom was perfect way for my 2nd graders to practice the concept of submitting #LearnLAP

mashupmath Mar 7 @ 8:14 PM EST

@MistyMitchellm @FLRichter Yes! So important for Ts to be trained and not feel forced to use tech they are not comfortable with. #learnlap

PaulSolarz - Moderator Mar 7 @ 8:14 PM EST

@ARutschke I'll need to chat about that with you some time down the line! I'm thinking about that for next year. #LearnLAP

MrBaskwill Mar 7 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2: At some schools they have a 1-1 program were each Ss gets a device to use at h and s while they are enrolled at the school #LearnLAP

jurczak Mar 7 @ 8:14 PM EST

@KimberlyOnak1 @StefaniePitzer @CanvasLMS I just started using Canvas w/ new job in Jan, but making PD for Ts instead of with Ss #learnlap

FLRichter Mar 7 @ 8:14 PM EST

A1 With Ts having ongoing training;Districts need to have tech enough for Ss & infrastructure (tech support)to support the devices #learnlap

StefaniePitzer Mar 7 @ 8:14 PM EST

@KimberlyOnak1 I feel they can work in partnership depending on Ts preference & works best. #LearnLAP

ERobbPrincipal Mar 7 @ 8:15 PM EST

@TheKoolestDoc A2 #LearnLAP Seek local resources to assist or offer discounts- connect with local libraries for students to access tech

thedevineone Mar 7 @ 8:15 PM EST

@MrBaskwill Yes, we have this at our school. It has been a gamechanger. #LearnLAP

docvs1 Mar 7 @ 8:15 PM EST

A1: we use edsby for grades and interaction, post assignments, email to students, etc #learnlap

MrBaskwill Mar 7 @ 8:15 PM EST

@ARutschke @PaulSolarz what did you do to integrate the two? I have a weebly site and love Google Classroom #LearnLAP

PaulSolarz - Moderator Mar 7 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2: Instead of trying to provide access at home, I open my classroom up before school, at lunch, & after school for Ss to work. #LearnLAP

MistyMitchellm Mar 7 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: Google drive can be downloaded to work offline. Need ways to out devices in students hands that need them. #LearnLAP

trevor_north Mar 7 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: By educating students about where they can access the internet for free like the library and other local resources! #LearnLAP

StefaniePitzer Mar 7 @ 8:16 PM EST

mashupmath Mar 7 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: The growing availability of inexpensive laptops that schools can provide Ss with is making a big difference here. #learnlap

ARutschke Mar 7 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: Use the tech tools at school & offer time before/after school. Homework isn't often useful anyway IMO #LearnLAP https://t.co/6cf6xk2W1W

TheKoolestDoc Mar 7 @ 8:12 PM EST

Q2: Discuss how can we provide access to digital instruction to all students with lack of resources from home? #LearnLAP

KimberlyOnak1 Mar 7 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: Our media centers are open later & earlier for Ss. 9/10 grade Ss will have Chromebooks to take home next yr. #LearnLAP

MrBaskwill Mar 7 @ 8:16 PM EST

@thedevineone I wish we did! I search yardsale sites to nab any tech I can, but some Ss need things they can take home #LearnLAP

docvs1 Mar 7 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: Some devices in schools, access to resources at lunch, other times of school day. We are lucky to be 1:1 #learnlap

AngieR_BWMS Mar 7 @ 8:16 PM EST

MistyMitchellm Mar 7 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 (b): also school libraries need to be open in summer with transportation opps. #LearnLAP

TheKoolestDoc Mar 7 @ 8:17 PM EST

Q3: Share digital resources that allows teachers to promote transparency of Ss data which leads to engaging S convo abt data #LearnLAP

FLRichter Mar 7 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 Connect families w/ @Everyone_On (low cost internet to free/reduce lunch families) & Open eBook app https://t.co/rEyDDMpw0K #learnlap

ERobbPrincipal Mar 7 @ 8:18 PM EST

@MrBaskwill A2 #LEARNLap- Great point- also some have class sets of Chromebooks- both can have a transformative impact on teaching/learning

KatieJMcNamara Mar 7 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 Digital access must happen at school. Homework can't be dependent on conectivity and be equitable. #LearnLAP

jurczak Mar 7 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 Take advantage of programs like @DonorsChoose to get more devices, show Ss they can access some GAFE items offline #LearnLAP

StefaniePitzer Mar 7 @ 8:19 PM EST

@KimberlyOnak1 @jurczak The pilot team did 2 webinars which I think will be crucial. It is a learning curve & we must have support #LearnLAP

ARutschke Mar 7 @ 8:19 PM EST

@MrBaskwill @PaulSolarz I use our Weebly for resources & blogging, but Classroom is more efficient for GAFE assignments by far! #LearnLAP

StefaniePitzer Mar 7 @ 8:19 PM EST

A3: I also like @TodaysMeet for discussions and background groups #LearnLAP

MistyMitchellm Mar 7 @ 8:19 PM EST

A3: work on GAFE campus. Hard to beat google drive other apps available for this. #LearnLAP

@MistyMitchellm Very true, it's important to communicate the value of edtech #learnlap

A6:I believe that older ts will be more resilient to accepting new tech while the newer Ts that grew up with it will lead the way #LearnLAP

A6 The way the world is changing we are doing our S's an inservice if we dont have growth mindset. Need to model their future. #LearnLAP

KimberlyOnak1 Mar 7 @ 8:42 PM EST

A6: Mindset plays a role as Ts need to be OPEN to changing practice. Ts need exposure mindset--It changes teaching not just tech. #LearnLAP

jurczak Mar 7 @ 8:43 PM EST

#LearnLAP you can't change the late adopters. Just enjoy being the early adopter that you are! Embrace innovation! https://t.co/TTBKskI9wE

MistyMitchellm Mar 7 @ 8:40 PM EST

A6: absolutely. Some Ts see digital instruction as "fluff" or "extra" not real teaching. This prevents fruitful EdTech integration #LearnLAP

mashupmath Mar 7 @ 8:44 PM EST

A6: Considering how fast things are evolving, a growth mindset and adaptability are key characteristics of any effective teacher. #learnlap

MrBaskwill Mar 7 @ 8:49 PM EST

It disrupts the old idea of what "education" looked like, not actual education itself. People need to realize times have changed #LearnLAP

docvs1 Mar 7 @ 8:49 PM EST

"disrupt ed" by doing something different, thinking outside box, turning over the classroom to S #learnlap https://t.co/ywjBQ8TAuc

I had the privilege of being the FIRST to review this book. It has been an AMAZING year for me too, b/c of this group& @PaulSolarz #LearnLAP

TheKoolestDoc Mar 7 @ 8:54 PM EST

Q8: Do you allow Ss to teach you which edtech tools cater to their learning strengths? #learnLAP

MistyMitchellm Mar 7 @ 8:55 PM EST

A6: I keep picturing this: #LearnLAP https://t.co/GzYHWWvl3z

KimberlyOnak1 Mar 7 @ 8:55 PM EST

A7: The disruption happens to create something new.The change gets messy as Ts find balance w/ tech & content.What's my new normal #LearnLAP

mashupmath Mar 7 @ 8:56 PM EST

A8: Yes! I think it's best to meet students where they are and use the tools that best meet their needs. #learnlap

thedevineone Mar 7 @ 8:56 PM EST

A8 Absolutely I can't keep up. Try to give my kids a tech tool box to start off with and then they expand it/share it from there. #LearnLAP

KimberlyOnak1 Mar 7 @ 8:56 PM EST

A8: I try to have a few tools ready but it rocks when Ss can tell me that they found something on own that works for them. #LearnLAP
