Welcome to #nwtosachat https://t.co/qXTN72XHIC

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:02 PM EDT

Hi, NW friends! Ann, Tech Integration Specialist from Billings, MT - definitely rainy nights w the windows open!

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:02 PM EDT

Yay @paularperryman !! So glad you are here!!! #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:03 PM EDT

Lori Curtis, EarlyK-12 district Tech Coach, White River, heavy rain #nwtosachat

nwtosachat May 3 @ 11:03 PM EDT

Ready for question number 1? #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:03 PM EDT

Welcome @RobinHenrikson! #nwtosachat is a great place to connect!

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:04 PM EDT

Hi #nwtosachat! I'm Ari Flewelling Staff Dev Spec. from #RUSDLearns & I love the sound of heavy rain!

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:04 PM EDT

Yay our moderator is here!!! Go @TECHTOSA #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:04 PM EDT

I thought the weather analogy if so appropriate for the topic of testing. Some days sunny, some days stormy! #nwtosachat

nwtosachat May 3 @ 11:04 PM EDT

Question 1 #nwtosachat https://t.co/xEnJZSzs4N

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:04 PM EDT

Woot! It's @EdTechAri!! #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:06 PM EDT

A1 For students who don’t have regular “accesstunity” to computers, it’s a barrier. Yes, that’s access and opportunity #nwtosachat

MsCZen - Moderator May 3 @ 11:06 PM EDT

A1: A barrier, just today kids were crying as they tested. Testing is not set up for Ss or for Ts. #nwtosachat https://t.co/H3YbbyVKD1

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:07 PM EDT

A1: Barrier. I feel learning is measured over time and in a variety of ways, not just one day on one assessment #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:07 PM EDT

Made it!! Kara from Kennewick (WA). I am so pumped up about tonight's topic! K-5 Dean/Coach #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:07 PM EDT

@lisamwood72 @nwtosachat You are in the right place to get some good ideas! #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:07 PM EDT

It's the birthday girl!! (OK a day late but whatever) Hey @T3TechieTeacher !! #nwtosachat

paularperryman May 3 @ 11:07 PM EDT

A1 - Depends.. older kids are comfortable with tech; younger kids are scared a little. CB's K-12 will help! #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:08 PM EDT

Woops forgot the #nwtosachat https://t.co/vLNfqfoLpK

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:07 PM EDT

a1 I think, from what little knowledge I have yes it does. The algorithms are supposed to help be a better gauge then paper.

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:08 PM EDT

. @MsCZen don't forget those hard working technicians and assessment managers! #nwtosachat

RobinHenrikson May 3 @ 11:09 PM EDT

A1 My daughter could self-assess based on adaptive feature #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:09 PM EDT

A1: I think a little to both. Ss who don't have access and can't keyboard are at a disadvantage with SBAC. However... #nwtosachat

nwtosachat May 3 @ 11:10 PM EDT

Question 2 #nwtosachat https://t.co/QLDYL5OqZk

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:10 PM EDT

. @T3TechieTeacher I agree. Access to be comfortable is so crucial #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:10 PM EDT

A1.2: However, the adaptive nature of our computerized tests are so helpful. Besides, we need to move forward and utilize tech. #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:11 PM EDT

A2 Test prep needs to feel comfortable and be embedded into the year. Anything new and strange creates stress. #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:11 PM EDT

A1: There are interesting hurdles with computer testing: connectivity and power. You don't have those same issues with paper #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:11 PM EDT

a2 Test prep should be all year long as in learing skills, not something Ss get the month before. It makes tech unauthentic #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:11 PM EDT

@cheer4tech Thanks, Brandi!! #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:12 PM EDT

A2: We are not even close to 1:1 yet, so during testing and prep, device accessibility is very limited; I think it discourages. #nwtosachat

RobinHenrikson May 3 @ 11:12 PM EDT

@T3TechieTeacher I agree! My 3rd grader was more in touch with how she performed based on items she was given #nwtosachat

MsCZen - Moderator May 3 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A2: Programs are encouraged if they look like the test, the thought being it will help prepare Ss. #nwtosachat https://t.co/zollW6nibU

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:13 PM EDT

.@cheer4tech The 5th graders say the keyboards give them stamina. They crack me up! #nwtosachat

paularperryman May 3 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A2 - Both, some T's use CB's daily so S's are comfortable with tech, other T's not at all so it isn't the same for every S. #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:14 PM EDT

A2: The concept that a little keyboarding will prep students for SBAC... Drives me nuts. Ss need to be using tech regularly. #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:14 PM EDT

A2: It does discourage esp with limited access, "can't use devices for a month b/c we are testing" "only for 3rd and above" #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:14 PM EDT

A1: Ss aren't proficiently keyboarding. They struggle to get ideas out of their heads, through their fingers & onto the screen. #nwtosachat

MsCZen - Moderator May 3 @ 11:14 PM EDT

.@paularperryman We have some Ss who will use the device only for SBA So hard for them. #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:15 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA depends on the school site, we allow them the room to do that how they do best. (some still do the traditional model) #nwtosachat

paularperryman May 3 @ 11:15 PM EDT

@MsCZen So excited to be 1:1 K-12 next year that will really change the game for our Ss. #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:15 PM EDT

.@paularperryman Practice using similar tools helps too. It's access and then some, huh? Oh the hurdles.. #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:15 PM EDT

@MsCZen We will in 6th and up next year, but in K-5, it's a free-for-all. #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA Stress for EVERYONE! 2day Ts frustrated at how long the SBAC takes. If kids can't keybrd, it's will take more time.#nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:16 PM EDT

.@AnnBruckerTIS I wonder when text dictation will become part of the test. #nwtosachat Do you think it will?

paularperryman May 3 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA Word of the day.... "accesstunity" must share with T's!! #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@EdTechAri And I keep thinking, if we taught to the standards (ISTE/CCSS) there would be no need for test prep. #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:17 PM EDT

.@TECHTOSA Great question. I wonder if there are too many potential "hazards" still; Ss overhearing, too much distraction, etc. #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:17 PM EDT

Jumping into #nwtosachat late, but happy to be here! Rachel, instruc coach, Bozeman MT.

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:18 PM EDT

.@AnnBruckerTIS Like who signs up first? Our second graders were getting a short end of the stick til 5th went 1:1 #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA @AnnBruckerTIS We were looking into that just the other day!! #nwtosachat Also, when will the AP test go digital?

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:18 PM EDT

BOOM! https://t.co/vqqnNgRwsC. #nwtosachat + provide experiences similar the testing environment @T3TechieTeacher https://t.co/1c6s7tl72r

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@EdTechAri And I keep thinking, if we taught to the standards (ISTE/CCSS) there would be no need for test prep. #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:18 PM EDT

Hi @rachelmarker!! Glad you could make it! #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@T3TechieTeacher @EdTechAri That's some crazy talk right there #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:19 PM EDT

.@T3TechieTeacher Don't forget the technicians! #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA @AnnBruckerTIS I'm betting soon for those with IEPs. #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@cheer4tech @TECHTOSA or the ACT?! I "got the opportunity" to proctor that again this year. #nwtosachat #jobhazard #worstdayever

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@EdTechAri @T3TechieTeacher Agreed. Problem solved! And the keyboarding issue would be null. #nwtosachat

nwtosachat May 3 @ 11:19 PM EDT

Question 3: #nwtosachat https://t.co/iwmli1Z7zi

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@cheer4tech @T3TechieTeacher wait you mean we can't be logical in EDU? oh, ya, right. 😐😟 #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:20 PM EDT

@cheer4tech @EdTechAri hehehe... I certainly must watch what I say... #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:20 PM EDT

@AnnBruckerTIS @TECHTOSA ICK!! Not the best way to spend Teacher Appreciation Day! #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:20 PM EDT

A3 Not enormously for students or teachers, but the Tech Dept gets stretched. So thankful for an awesome organized Ass Manager! #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:21 PM EDT

A3 We're 1:1 chromebooks in grades 3-5, so no disruption there. I'd imagine in MS it's a diff story. They share carts. #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:21 PM EDT

.@rachelmarker @T3TechieTeacher ugh! Give Ss authentic things 2 write 4 extended periods of time & ur good (+fundamental for k3) #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:21 PM EDT

@cheer4tech Oh thank goodness it was not today - it was a couple weeks ago. Instead, today, I was home SICK!! Even worse! #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:21 PM EDT

@T3TechieTeacher Hey Kara! So glad to be able to join! #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:21 PM EDT

@rachelmarker Great to see you! #nwtosachat

MsCZen - Moderator May 3 @ 11:21 PM EDT

.@AnnBruckerTIS @cheer4tech @TECHTOSA #nwtosachat https://t.co/4j9zK5xmMQ

paularperryman May 3 @ 11:21 PM EDT

A3 - Other than the instructional time for testing in general, the need for devices doesn't affect us much. #K-12 1:1 #spoiled #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:21 PM EDT

@T3TechieTeacher @cheer4tech I'll say it for you. #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:21 PM EDT

@EdTechAri @T3TechieTeacher Exactly. 15 mins here or there for actual finger placement. Not a big deal! #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:22 PM EDT

@AnnBruckerTIS Hi Ann! Are you back-to-back chatting tonight?! #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:22 PM EDT

the moderator just said ass! Who let her moderate!? #nwtosachat

RobinHenrikson May 3 @ 11:22 PM EDT

A3 Our HS library shuts down for 3 weeks. #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:22 PM EDT

A3: Hmmm, I'm not sure how it's disrupting other programs. Regular classes, YES, tech special, YES. #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:22 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA Is that really a title abbreviation? Ass manager... #nwtosachat

MsCZen - Moderator May 3 @ 11:23 PM EDT

A3: We have enough now, so disruptions are limited. It use to close the library and labs for a month. #nwtosachat https://t.co/PgZZuw0GKA

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:23 PM EDT

A3: In THEORY, the other programs should help with testing and won't disrupt bc it's what they've been working toward. But... #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:23 PM EDT

@RobinHenrikson That is so wrong!! I so often feel testing denies Ss access to the resources at school they may not have at home #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:23 PM EDT

a3 Not 1:1 every thing gets thrown off schedule & it's not fair. Testing isnt going away districts need 2 provide device support #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:23 PM EDT

@RobinHenrikson That is a huge disruption I would think. Any hope for devices to change that? #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:24 PM EDT

A3: In my last school we had no doors (open concept) so the ENTIRE school was silent for a month. #nwtosachat

paularperryman May 3 @ 11:24 PM EDT

@RobinHenrikson So NOT ok. #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:24 PM EDT

@EdTechAri I recorded 1st gr Ss giving PPT presentations using Swivl. Wowed our staff @ mtg 2day. Loved it!! Kids so excited! #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:25 PM EDT

.@TECHTOSA I was just wondering... "How the heck did they get applicants for that job?!" ;-) #nwtosachat

RobinHenrikson May 3 @ 11:25 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA while I'm not completely on board with 1:1 it may solve this problem #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:25 PM EDT

@cheer4tech Ugh. So sad to see lrng stop... Is your new school a diff story? #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:26 PM EDT

.@cheer4tech oh my goodness! Learning is noisy. kids are noisy. how do they keep it quiet? #nwtosachat

annhayesbell May 3 @ 11:26 PM EDT

@techtosa Hi! Late. Sharing computer tonight. :) Ann Hayes-Bell. Librarian Edmonds SD. #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:26 PM EDT

@T3TechieTeacher @EdTechAri How cool, Kara! Are you in the trial period w Swivl? I need to do it! #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:26 PM EDT

@MsCZen So so wrong. This should drive our districts to go 1:1, don't you think?? #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:26 PM EDT

@rachelmarker I'm a coach now so I don't have one classroom, I support many bldgs #nwtosachat

backlund2 May 3 @ 11:27 PM EDT

New to the game. I'm Geoff or as some call me G-Off. ;) Librarian in Silverdale, WA. #nwtosachat

paularperryman May 3 @ 11:27 PM EDT

@backlund2 Welcome G-Off #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:27 PM EDT

@annhayesbell Welcome, Ann!! So glad you're here! #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:27 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA It was brutal. When it wasn't raining I took my kids outside to learn and be loud. My classroom was an active place #nwtosachat

nwtosachat May 3 @ 11:27 PM EDT

Question 4: #NWtosachat https://t.co/4mUhM29Bhe

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:28 PM EDT

@backlund2 Great to have you, G-Off! Love it. #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:28 PM EDT

.@RobinHenrikson I think it's seen as a silver bullet sometimes. Access doesn't make teachers know how to use tech effectively. #nwtosachat

paularperryman May 3 @ 11:28 PM EDT

A4 Devise reg lessons that follow the same pattern as tests. #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:29 PM EDT

@rachelmarker Yes, and Pp just emailed me a thankyou for videoing him at AM mtg today. We will definately get at least one. #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:29 PM EDT

A4 review the ? types on the interim assessments align the task types w/current curriculum & help facilitate. Make it authentic #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:29 PM EDT

A1: Actually, not at all. I did make a handout once to show Ts how to get Ss out of the secure browser ;-) but nothing else! #nwtosachat

RobinHenrikson May 3 @ 11:29 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA exactly! That's why I'm not completely on board yet-Not a silver bullet! #NWtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:29 PM EDT

.@annhayesbell Welcome Ann! Ann and I are in SPU's@Digital Leadership program. It's a nifty if you are thinking MA or PHd EDd #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:29 PM EDT

@backlund2 Welcome, Geoff!! #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:29 PM EDT

A4: Actually, not at all. I did make a handout once to show Ts how to get Ss out of the secure browser ;-) but nothing else! #nwtosachat

MsCZen - Moderator May 3 @ 11:29 PM EDT

A4: Ss gain familarity with the tool they will be using for the test and I teach lessons which support standards #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:30 PM EDT

A4 Our common digital unit assessments in grades 3-5 let students practice thinking, typing, etc online #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:30 PM EDT

@lbteachertech Yup, like mine... Groan. It's so painful. #nwtosachat

MsCZen - Moderator May 3 @ 11:30 PM EDT

Hopefully NOT this... #nwtosachat https://t.co/6Th9u3eVnc

backlund2 May 3 @ 11:30 PM EDT

A3: Last year we had to shut down the library for the YEAR in early May to accommodate for testing. #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:30 PM EDT

@T3TechieTeacher Excellent! A great investment, for sure. #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:31 PM EDT

A4: All this!! #nwtosachat https://t.co/7hdu1TeJKR

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:29 PM EDT

A4 review the ? types on the interim assessments align the task types w/current curriculum & help facilitate. Make it authentic #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:31 PM EDT

.@RobinHenrikson The Lone Ranger never had a silver bullet only Silver the horse! #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:31 PM EDT

@MsCZen Ha! Great one. #nwtosachat

backlund2 May 3 @ 11:31 PM EDT

A3: This year we will be done in a week with little to no impact on the library due to the addition of hundreds of Chromebooks. #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:32 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA Are these district-created assessments? #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:32 PM EDT

@backlund2 All of May AND June!?!?! #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:33 PM EDT

@AnnBruckerTIS Same here--not much. Ts do a little bit of practice on the secure browser to familiarize Ss. That's about it. #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:33 PM EDT

A4: Help Ts to not add tech, but substitute. Instead of AR testing, blog about bks, etc. Many Ts just overwhelmed. It's hard. #nwtosachat

annhayesbell May 3 @ 11:33 PM EDT

A4. Practice online reading. A different, unique skill. Practice with split screens. Practice tools.#nwtosachat

cechristopher87 May 3 @ 11:33 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA hey! Chelsea Christopher, late as well. Kindergarten , Vancouver school district...first time Twitter chatter 😊 #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:34 PM EDT

.@rachelmarker Yes, teacher teams made them with help of the ELA TOSA for each unit.We use Google Docs, Doctopus, Goobric #nwtosachat

backlund2 May 3 @ 11:34 PM EDT

.@MsCZen Nope. The addition of Chromebooks has shortened our testing season immensely. #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:34 PM EDT

A4: We don't do much besides some practice on the secure browser. Ss do need more prctice w written responses to lengthy texts. #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:34 PM EDT

@paularperryman Yes, and write OFTEN. Keyboarding live instead of handwriting then typing it up. #nwtosachat

MsCZen - Moderator May 3 @ 11:35 PM EDT

.@TECHTOSA @rachelmarker I love that TEAMs of Ts made them #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:35 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA Sounds like a great way to embed some online practice into assessmts Ss will take anyway... For all grades? #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:36 PM EDT

Sounds like a wide variety of test prep methods #nwtosachat

nwtosachat May 3 @ 11:36 PM EDT

Question 5: #nwtosachat https://t.co/7FCbv5Waqa

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:36 PM EDT

Hey welcome @cechristopher87 Yay for your first chat!! #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:36 PM EDT

@MsCZen @TECHTOSA Agreed, that's great. Our district assessments are made by Ts on dist committees. We should make them digital! #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:37 PM EDT

a5 I'd say nothing is truly seamless in the beginning but you can work towards it. #nwtosachat Start w/your tech why to make it easier.

paularperryman May 3 @ 11:37 PM EDT

A5 I don't think Ts are doing integration seamlessly YET. Soon we hope GAFE will support that. #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:37 PM EDT

@cechristopher87 @TECHTOSAzChelsea, I am your 21st follower!! WHOOP WHOOP!! Welcome! #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:37 PM EDT

.@rachelmarker Currently 3-5, but expanding. It's helping teacher find value in using rubrics tech tools for other assignment. #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:38 PM EDT

@rachelmarker @MsCZen @TECHTOSA YES!! And share them out!! #nwtosachat

backlund2 May 3 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A5: The biggest impact has been Google Classroom. #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A5 My philosophy 1 Easy to use. 2 Big bang for your investment of time for learning it. 3 Let’s you plan next steps for students #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:38 PM EDT

@cheer4tech @MsCZen @TECHTOSA I have them all as G-docs. Will see if I can share beyond district. :) #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:38 PM EDT

A5: Google Classroom truly has been a game changer! Many of our primary Ts also LOVE @Seesaw! It all hinges on "accessitunity." #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:38 PM EDT

@backlund2 @MsCZen Ohmygosh, someone please explain that to my district! (I want Chromebooks badly!) #nwtosachat

MsCZen - Moderator May 3 @ 11:39 PM EDT

A5: Can the coach be the tool? Ts get support when learning new tools and shifting their pedagogy. #nwtosachat https://t.co/hGVeP0EVzL

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:40 PM EDT

@MsCZen @Seesaw It really is amazing - and super easy to use! #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:41 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA That is so awesome that you have other TOSA's using tech to support all staff! #nwtosachat

annhayesbell May 3 @ 11:41 PM EDT

A5. Tech integration that enhances thinking, sharing, creativity. Overall-Google Classroom. #nwtosachat

Kimdawgwe May 3 @ 11:42 PM EDT

Hello, I'm a Learning Specialist/Testing Coordinator. Chromebooks + familiarity/access = smoother state testing! #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:42 PM EDT

A5: I agree with Christine. TechTosas. Just found out that my position is changing to Vice Pp. Sad to see Coach pos go. #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:44 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA I will be starting AdminCert soon. Finding out more next week. Crazy, crazy couple of days. #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:45 PM EDT

what a ton of great information! #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:45 PM EDT

@MsCZen @zerned Similar to LearnZillion? #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:46 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA 1 thing I'd add to your list is #ThinkOpen opt for apps/services that work across devices for better Ss access at home #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A6: What "tech integration plan," indeed! I can't wait to see what you guys say! #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:46 PM EDT

A6 I’d support a plan that promotes teachers “accesstunity” to differentiated PD and personalized tech integration goals for Ts. #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:47 PM EDT

@rachelmarker @TECHTOSA I agree. The difficult thing is that I have twins starting college next yr and I finished my MA last yr.#nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:47 PM EDT

@EdTechAri @TECHTOSA I haven't heard of #thinkopen before, another thing to check out! #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:47 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA I love this idea, but how would you hold them accountable for it? We've kicked around the idea of "tech bucks." #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:48 PM EDT

a6 Currently working on a TPACK pd to show the interactions of Tech, Pedagogy, & Content work together not apart #nwtosachat

paularperryman May 3 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A6 Plan... Plan, What I am supposed to have a plan?? I think show Ts how it can make everyone grow, even them. #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A6: I think you would need to be 1:1. Every child has access 100% of the time. AND Ts are trained and supported by TOSAs. #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:48 PM EDT

@cheer4tech @TECHTOSA talk w/@deelanier he can tell you more about it, he keynotes about it #nwtosachat

RobinHenrikson May 3 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A6 any plan should include comprehensive teacher support #nwtosachat

backlund2 May 3 @ 11:48 PM EDT

A6: The weariness in my building is not around testing. It's around gamification and lack of face-to-face interaction. #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:48 PM EDT

@AnnBruckerTIS @MsCZen I'm another @Seesaw-vangelist! Incredibly intuitive digital portfolio. + a great way 2 connect Ps 2 lrng. #nwtosachat

lisamwood72 May 3 @ 11:48 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA how would you define accesstunity? #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:48 PM EDT

.@EdTechAri great suggestion!! And provide data across district for next steps!! #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:49 PM EDT

@T3TechieTeacher @TECHTOSA Yikes, that's definitely tough. You'll make it work, though! #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:49 PM EDT

@backlund2 Oooh... interesting! A backward slide. Is it games? Or gamified learning?? #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:49 PM EDT

A6: Tech has to be integrated into all subjects, not seen as something separate to do and expected in every classroom. #nwtosachat

cechristopher87 May 3 @ 11:49 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA Ooo I like that! We differentiate for Ss all the time, why not Ts too! I love the idea of differentiated PD #nwtosachat

MsCZen - Moderator May 3 @ 11:50 PM EDT

.@backlund2 They don't want gamification? #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:50 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA love it, learn from each other, don't horde the knowledge #nwtosachat

Kimdawgwe May 3 @ 11:50 PM EDT

Tech integration included in curriculum mapping and instructional routines. #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:50 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA Please clarify (and therefore the answer is no)... What is "tech time?" #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:50 PM EDT

@MsCZen @zerned Is it created by EngageNY? #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:51 PM EDT

@cheer4tech Or once a week for 30 minutes in the computer lab. #nwtosachat

backlund2 May 3 @ 11:51 PM EDT

.@AnnBruckerTIS Exactly. If Ts see how gaming can effectively teach curriculum they will be sold. Some won't give it a chance. #nwtosachat

annhayesbell May 3 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A6. 1:1 with ongoing onsite immediate teacher training! #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:51 PM EDT

@annhayesbell support for Ts is critical! #nwtosachat

liztekkie May 3 @ 11:51 PM EDT

#nwtosachat A6 This is where 1:1 comes in. When PCs are like notebooks, used every day w/ purpose.

MsCZen - Moderator May 3 @ 11:51 PM EDT

.@rachelmarker @zerned I am not sure who creates in but it sites Eureka Math on the site #nwtosachat

backlund2 May 3 @ 11:52 PM EDT

.@MsCZen They don't know what gamification is. They view it as online "gaming" not a method to effectively teach curriculum. #nwtosachat

EdTechAri May 3 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@TECHTOSA I'm using SAMR to help elaborate on the Tech circle. I'd be happy to talk further about it #nwtosachat

MsCZen - Moderator May 3 @ 11:52 PM EDT

.@liztekkie I love the with PURPOSE #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@Kimdawgwe Kim, I like that. I haven't seen Instructional Routines which include tech integration. But it's needed. #nwtosachat

RobinHenrikson May 3 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@cechristopher87 @TECHTOSA agree! Teachers need differentiation for buy-in, effective learning and more #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:52 PM EDT

.@lisamwood72 In person and online options. Embedded throughout the year. Lots of options. #nwtosachat

Kimdawgwe May 3 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@backlund2...Yet! #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:54 PM EDT

@RobinHenrikson @cechristopher87 @TECHTOSA Ts have to have buy in or the devices become really expensive pencils! #nwtosachat

cechristopher87 May 3 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6: any plan that allows exploration for Ts and Ss alike, finding their own niche of tech comfort #nwtosachat

nwtosachat May 3 @ 11:54 PM EDT

Bonus Round! Please take a moment to complete this form for @TECHTOSA who moderated tonight https://t.co/vsUIJkB2LB #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6 It's a balance: expose Ts to tools but always in context of how Ss can use them creatively/authentically. #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:55 PM EDT

@MsCZen @zerned Hmmm. Will have to check it out. #nwtosachat

RobinHenrikson May 3 @ 11:55 PM EDT

@cheer4tech I've seen lots of expensive pencils:) #nwtosachat

cechristopher87 May 3 @ 11:55 PM EDT

@liztekkie so agree on 1:1 at every age level. Would love for it to be as natural as picking up pencil and paper for my kinders #nwtosachat

AnnBruckerTIS May 3 @ 11:56 PM EDT

@nwtosachat @TECHTOSA DONE! :-) #nwtosachat

TECHTOSA May 3 @ 11:56 PM EDT

.@cheer4tech They become bricks!! Not even as useful as pencils! @MsMagiera has a great pig slideshow of this! #nwtosachat

@TECHTOSA A6 #nwtosachat Does everyone know about @sageinitiative ? Online badge learning for Ts being developed by Bethel School District?

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:58 PM EDT

@liztekkie @TECHTOSA @sageinitiative not yet.. I think I should!! #nwtosachat #sleepisfortheweak

nwtosachat May 3 @ 11:58 PM EDT

@AnnBruckerTIS @MsMagiera TRUE STORY!!! #nwtosachat

rachelmarker May 3 @ 11:58 PM EDT

Playtime 4 Ts + Ss = critical. We all learn thru play. Ts need tech-tunities 2 become proficient users! #nwtosachat https://t.co/IMkXKTTePq

@nwtosachat @TECHTOSA Thanks Much!! #nwtosachat

cheer4tech - Moderator May 3 @ 11:59 PM EDT

@RobinHenrikson It is so sad. i think that is due to lack of PD and direction from admin #nwtosachat

T3TechieTeacher May 3 @ 11:59 PM EDT

@liztekkie @TECHTOSA @sageinitiative Liz, I haven't heard of that group, but I'm reading lots about digital badging. #nwtosachat
