@BethRheingold I’ve been trying out Kahoot with success. I can’t wait to try Google’s new Quizzes too. #isedchat

misterbeeslit Jul 7 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@KelseyHegel Hi Kelsey! #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:09 PM EDT

KelseyHegel Jul 7 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@misterbeeslit Kahoot is awesome. The kids stay so engaged and want to be the smart one. #isedchat

misterbeeslit Jul 7 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@BethRheingold @kelseyhegel What tools do you like? #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@KelseyHegel @misterbeeslit IDK what took me so long! It's great. Haven't tried google quizzes. how do they work? #isedchat

misterbeeslit Jul 7 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@BethRheingold @KelseyHegel Quizzes is a new extension of Google Forms. Not sure if it’s available just yet. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@misterbeeslit @kelseyhegel I like #kahoot and #polleverywhere and while I haven't used it, #classdojo. #isedchat

KelseyHegel Jul 7 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@misterbeeslit @BethRheingold I have Active Expressions in my class and use them for quick quizzes and exit tickets. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@KelseyHegel @misterbeeslit that's new to me. an app? #isedchat

misterbeeslit Jul 7 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@BethRheingold @kelseyhegel what is classdojo? I have not heard of that one. I think I have some Googling to do! #isedchat

misterbeeslit Jul 7 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@KelseyHegel @BethRheingold To be honest, I’ve found most Promethean tools I’ve used to be really difficult to get the hang of. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@misterbeeslit it's for classroom/behavior mgmt. Good for LS and MS kids; less so for US. #isedchat

KelseyHegel Jul 7 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@misterbeeslit @BethRheingold It is true. I have a slate that I hate. The expressions are what is given to me. Adapt or fail...#isedchat

BrianovichIV Jul 7 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@BethRheingold Looks like an interesting app. I might look into it for my summer camp. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@misterbeeslit @KelseyHegel that's new to me too. #socratic is helpful for quick quizzes and data. do you adjust teaching w data? #isedchat

misterbeeslit Jul 7 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@BethRheingold Looks like an interesting app. I might look into it for my summer camp. #isedchat

stacie_beaman Jul 7 @ 9:17 PM EDT

quizziz, kahoot, quick exit slips, Seesaw and observations in first grade. #ISEDchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@BrianovichIV Hi there! i've suggested it to Ts here at CTY for help w younger kids who are squirmy! #isedchat

KelseyHegel Jul 7 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@BethRheingold @misterbeeslit I do adjust my teaching. Next day small group pull with kids who didn't master concept. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@stacie_beaman welcome! love exit slips. seesaw? I also use good old regular reading quizzes. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@KelseyHegel I'm coaching some Ts to do that with gifted & talented kids this summer who may not grasp concepts as fast. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:21 PM EDT

How else do you use the data from these tools? Review and... #isedchat

KelseyHegel Jul 7 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@BethRheingold I bring all data to #IEP and 504 meetings as support to observations. #isedchat

misterbeeslit Jul 7 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@BethRheingold I share many of my findings with fellow teachers. We are a small school so we all teach the same students. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@stacie_beaman seesaw is a portfolio program? looks great. does the school adopt? does it cost $$? #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@KelseyHegel that is a really great idea. helps everyone. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@misterbeeslit that is really so ideal. they use similar assessments too? #isedchat

stacie_beaman Jul 7 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Meet with teams and go over assessment results.. Then we discuss what's next for the kids who have it and the kids who don't. #ISEDchat

stacie_beaman Jul 7 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@BethRheingold yes portfolio program. We use the free version. The kids love showing their learning. #ISEDchat

misterbeeslit Jul 7 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@BethRheingold We try but it’s just helpful to all be on the same page. What I do can help direct another teacher more effectively #isedchat

KelseyHegel Jul 7 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@misterbeeslit @BethRheingold That's great! I would love to do this with my partner teacher. I'll bring it up... #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Q3. How do you these tools impact your teaching? what have you changed? #isedchat

KellyEngTeacher Jul 7 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@BethRheingold @stacie_beaman Seesaw is an app. that I am really excited to start using with students this fall! #isedchat

stacie_beaman Jul 7 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@KellyEngTeacher @BethRheingold my students and parents loved it! #ISEDchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@KellyEngTeacher @stacie_beaman Hi Kelly! It's been hard for my school to integrate portfolios. This sounds great! #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@stacie_beaman @KellyEngTeacher I've tried doing portfolios thru google sites. clunky. impt. but less immediate. #isedchat

KelseyHegel Jul 7 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3: Although lesson plans are set, small groups and independent work varies based on prior performance. #isedchat

KellyEngTeacher Jul 7 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Students need passion and purpose to get psyched about learning! #isedchat https://t.co/y1qLGfIIsM

stacie_beaman Jul 7 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3: PLC approach. 1st identify standard, the assessment, and then plan activities. My teaching is more intentional. #ISEDchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3. I find kids love the tools and a more differentiated approach. it reassures them. #isedchat

Wanted to share this great article. https://t.co/rWkykJBMia #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:37 PM EDT

Q4. Anyone use these tools to aid #PBL? #isedchat

stacie_beaman Jul 7 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@BethRheingold the anxiety level seems to go down too. It's not the dreaded one time "test" #ISEDchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@stacie_beaman great point! AKA "low stakes." It's more about the fun of learning. #isedchat

KelseyHegel Jul 7 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@BethRheingold Thanks for the article. I added it to my @scoopit collection. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@KelseyHegel hope it's helpful! lots of stuff in there I want to try. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:40 PM EDT

I asked about project based learning bc I think it requires freq. assessment. Thoughts? #isedchat

KelseyHegel Jul 7 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@BethRheingold I don't see how it can NOT be helpful. That's a lot of apps to try and you can cater it to your room and needs. #isedchat

ConsultJodi Jul 7 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@KelseyHegel @BethRheingold PBL should be about feedback + application + knowledge. #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@ConsultJodi Hi there Jodi! have you used any of these tools for feedback? #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:46 PM EDT

and let's not forget that Twitter can be a great assessment tool too! #isedchat

BethRheingold - Moderator Jul 7 @ 9:47 PM EDT

Hey folks, I have to duck out early to do a dorm check. Thanks so much to everyone for popping in! hope you found this helpful. #isedchat

ConsultJodi Jul 7 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@BethRheingold I don't get into a classroom, often. So, I do. I use Twitter talks to engage myself in the learning process. #isedchat

stacie_beaman Jul 7 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Thanks! I go distracted looking at all that great info on the article you posted. I'm excited to check those out. #ISEDchat

KelseyHegel Jul 7 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@BethRheingold Thanks for hosting!!! #isedchat

ConsultJodi Jul 7 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@KelseyHegel @BethRheingold Assessments + learning = how your school's story is different than any others. #isedchat
