Q2 Where did you learn about Swivl? #SwivlChat #edchat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:11 PM EST

A2: I’m not sure but I think it was a video on YouTube. 1st Gen Device. #SwivlChat #edchat

lairdlearning Jan 26 @ 7:11 PM EST

A2:I learned about Swivl on Twitter. Through grant funds and the summer learning challenge, I’ve added 3 Swivl’s to our building. #swivlchat

carmen_emints Jan 26 @ 7:12 PM EST

A2. I am not sure. Maybe at the #METC conference. Became interested in video coaching about 4 years ago. #Swivlchat #emints

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:12 PM EST

A2: I think it only worked for the iPhone. Not sure though. I thought it was cool. #SwivlChat #edchat

LitTeacherJenn Jan 26 @ 7:12 PM EST

A2: I was sharing w a colleague abt all my tech glitches I'd had during National Board process & she told me abt Swivl! #swivlchat #edchat

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:12 PM EST

A2 I saw some tweets about it and had to try it out. I was a big proponent of flipping and using video for reflections. #SwivlChat

nataleestotz Jan 26 @ 7:13 PM EST

Hi all heard about #swivlchat from @LitTeacherJenn ! Jumping in to learn more! Natalee, HS Humanities teacher from Maine.

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:15 PM EST

A2 I also found out about Swivl because my Tech Director had the first one and I got to try it out, the current ones are great! #SwivlChat

goswivl - Moderator Jan 26 @ 7:19 PM EST

Q3 How do you use Swivl? Have you used it for #videocoaching or teaching #observations? #SwivlChat #edchat

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:19 PM EST

A3 We use Swivl a lot for recording examples of lessons to share with others and to use in our own professional learning. #SwivlChat

carmen_emints Jan 26 @ 7:20 PM EST

A3 Our plan is to use it to push out PD experiences and for video coaching. #SwivlChat #emints

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:20 PM EST

A3 All of our instructional coaches have a Swivl available to them so they can use it or so other teachers can use it. #SwivlChat

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:21 PM EST

Have you seen the post by Jim Knight about using video for coaching? #SwivlChat

In reply to @carmen_emints

nataleestotz Jan 26 @ 7:21 PM EST

A3: I haven't used Swivl yet...still in process of signing up for trial. Dreaming of all the ways I could use it in my classroom #swivlchat

lairdlearning Jan 26 @ 7:21 PM EST

I use Swivl to record model lessons and PD sessions, I also use it during coaching cycles to encourage teacher reflection #SwivlChat #edchat

drkchilds Jan 26 @ 7:21 PM EST

A3: I use it for video coaching & teaching observations. It is very effective for critiquing specific lessson components #SwivlChat #edchat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:21 PM EST

A3: I record student presentations and record lessons. #SwivlChat #edchat

carmen_emints Jan 26 @ 7:21 PM EST

I have read lots of Jim Knight articles. I'll have to check it out! Thanks for the resource! #SwivlChat

In reply to @donovanscience

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:23 PM EST

We discussed a lot about Jim Knight early on and that helped connect the tech to the coaching. #SwivlChat

In reply to @carmen_emints

lairdlearning Jan 26 @ 7:23 PM EST

I have stacks of Jim Knight's Watch Yourself and Watch Your Student forms by the Swivls. #SwivlChat

carmen_emints Jan 26 @ 7:23 PM EST

Are you using Swivl Cloud with the students or sharing their videos and reflections another way? #Swivlchat

In reply to @MarkoMarkolovic

LitTeacherJenn Jan 26 @ 7:23 PM EST

Colleague visits- less disruptive 4 Ts & Ss than having a room full of observers.. a more authentic pic of instruction. #SwivlChat #edchat

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:24 PM EST

I don't think we are there yet, but that would a good idea to have those ready for when we are. #SwivlChat

In reply to @lairdlearning, @carmen_emints

carmen_emints Jan 26 @ 7:24 PM EST

that is exactly our plan for our first experience! Doing a "video" class visit! #Swivlchat

In reply to @LitTeacherJenn

nataleestotz Jan 26 @ 7:24 PM EST

My students gave presentations today for midterm. As I was holding my phone to video, was wishing I had a Swivl! #Swivlchat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:21 PM EST

A3: I record student presentations and record lessons. #SwivlChat #edchat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:25 PM EST

I use @goswivl cloud. I usually add a Google Form of some sort to capture their thoughts. #Swivlchat

In reply to @carmen_emints, @goswivl

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:25 PM EST

I would suggest letting students practice with it, some need to get used to it and just being recorded in general. #SwivlChat

In reply to @nataleestotz

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:26 PM EST

Once you get your hands on a @goswivl you will love it. It's simple to setup. No limit to how its used. #SwivlChat

In reply to @nataleestotz, @goswivl

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:26 PM EST

Also could use @goswivl for stations. Maybe even combine it with @RecapThat so that students can reflect. #SwivlChat

In reply to @carmen_emints, @goswivl, @RecapThat

Q4 How often do you engage in professional development? #PD #SwivlChat #edchat

LitTeacherJenn Jan 26 @ 7:29 PM EST

We used some Title 1 funding for family involvement & Title 2 PD funding to purchase our first Swivl. #SwivlChat Also DonorsChoose project?

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:29 PM EST

A4 My position allows for as-needed professional learning but we do have some learning for tech almost monthly. #SwivlChat

carmen_emints Jan 26 @ 7:29 PM EST

A4 I try to engage in some type of learning everyday! Twitter, Google+, books, webinar... Formal conference about 2-4 a year. #Swivlchat

drkchilds Jan 26 @ 7:29 PM EST

A4: Every week. I use Swivl to capture my PD sessions. #SwivlChat #edchat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:30 PM EST

A4: I attend about 4 sessions a year. It depends on what’s out there. I prefer Twitter. Always great stuff going on. #SwivlChat

carmen_emints Jan 26 @ 7:30 PM EST

A4 I provide PD 3-4 times per month. #Swivlchat

lairdlearning Jan 26 @ 7:30 PM EST

A4: I’m engaged in PD on a daily basis by engaging Ts in coaching cycles, mentoring new Ts, and my own personal learning. #SwivlChat #edchat

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:31 PM EST

A4 I am learning constantly so I can better help teachers when they want/ask for help. Great aspect of my job! #SwivlChat

nataleestotz Jan 26 @ 7:31 PM EST

Q4 How often do you engage in professional development? #PD #SwivlChat #edchat

LitTeacherJenn Jan 26 @ 7:31 PM EST

Our district has Early Release every Wed. It was so hard to find subs for pullout days. This is a much better solution! #SwivlChat #edchat

carmen_emints Jan 26 @ 7:32 PM EST

One of the best parts~learning new things everyday! Love connecting and getting new perspectives and ideas! #Swivlchat

In reply to @donovanscience

nataleestotz Jan 26 @ 7:33 PM EST

A4: more formal #PD is less often- #edcamp occasionally a conference I have to pay for, periodic days at school #swivlchat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:33 PM EST

Agree 100%. #SwivlChat #edchat

In reply to @carmen_emints, @donovanscience

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:34 PM EST

There is so much out there for teachers, helps if someone can help them with what they want without them getting lost in it all. #SwivlChat

Q5 How do you measure student engagement during your lessons? #SwivlChat #edchat

Nothing worse than one size fits all. #SwivlChat #edchat

In reply to @donovanscience, @carmen_emints

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:38 PM EST

A5: I use @trello for brainstorming what students know and want to learn. #SwivlChat #edchat

In reply to @trello

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:38 PM EST

A5 listening to the types of questions they ask, non-verbals, and quick formative assessments help, video would also help greatly #SwivlChat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:39 PM EST

A5: I use @padlet to have students respond to a question that usually asks them to make sense of what they learned. #SwivlChat #edchat

In reply to @padlet

carmen_emints Jan 26 @ 7:39 PM EST

A5 Listening to conversations tells you alot! Formative assessment help! Love using @Polleverywhere or @plickers #emints #Swivlchat

nataleestotz Jan 26 @ 7:40 PM EST

A5: Used to depend solely on observed body language. Starting to rethink that. Currently learning about framework for reflection #swivlchat

LitTeacherJenn Jan 26 @ 7:40 PM EST

A5: Observation is a big measurement tool! Swivl allows Ts to review lessons, make observations & adjust instruction. #SwivlChat #edchat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:41 PM EST

Love both of these. #SwivlChat #edchat

In reply to @carmen_emints, @polleverywhere, @plickers

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:42 PM EST

Padlet is one of my favorite tools, really like your use of it as you can get info from all students, even shy ones #SwivlChat

In reply to @MarkoMarkolovic, @padlet

Agreed. @TodaysMeet is great to track while the lesson is taking place. #SwivlChat #edchat

lairdlearning Jan 26 @ 7:43 PM EST

A5 Lots of listening & formative assessment. I love having the Swivl C series multiple markers to hear small group discussions! #SwivlChat

In reply to @nataleestotz

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:44 PM EST

Students love using it. I think it should be mandatory for every teacher. #SwivlChat #edchat

In reply to @donovanscience, @padlet

drkchilds Jan 26 @ 7:45 PM EST

A5: through the level of teachers questions; the level of student responses; students time spent grappling w/ the task #SwivlChat #edchat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:45 PM EST

A lot of different use cases and its course and age agnostic. #SwivlChat #edchat

In reply to @donovanscience, @padlet

carmen_emints Jan 26 @ 7:45 PM EST

I also love the level of student questions! The key to inquiry! #swivlchat #emints

Almost like the swiss army knife of ed tech tools #swivlchat

In reply to @MarkoMarkolovic

lairdlearning Jan 26 @ 7:47 PM EST

A6 I would love to provide virtual coaching! I'm in the process of recording my presentations/PD so anyone can access them later. #SwivlChat

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:47 PM EST

A6 We recorded student presentations about a book and shared them with the author and subject of the book. Very powerful! #SwivlChat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:47 PM EST

Exactly. Hard to find great tools that are free. #SwivlChat #edchat @padlet

In reply to @donovanscience, @padlet

carmen_emints Jan 26 @ 7:48 PM EST

A6 Starting Feb. 16 :) I am working with 28 amazing coaches from Al. I live in MO! Looking forward to using Swivlcloud #Swivlchat #emints

LitTeacherJenn Jan 26 @ 7:48 PM EST

A6: We use Swivl to record not only classrm lessons but class/school events & post on school website 2 share w families. #SwivlChat #edchat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:48 PM EST

A6: Not really but might now with all of the great folks in the #SwivlChat. #edchat

Q7 Do your students use Swivl? How? #SwivlChat #edchat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:55 PM EST

A7: Record lessons, presentations, students have made news broadcasts and CYOA videos. #SwivlChat #edchat

lairdlearning Jan 26 @ 7:56 PM EST

A7: To date, it's mainly been teachers using the Swivls. I would love to see our K-5 students using it too! #SwivlChat #edchat

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:56 PM EST

A7 Students have used it to record presentations, shared with others later, or to just record videos for a project. #SwivlChat

MarkoMarkolovic Jan 26 @ 7:56 PM EST

A7: I want to try putting @goswivl together with @TouchCastEdu and see what my students can put together. #SwivlChat #edchat

A7: I also have recorded my students performing Moot Courts and Mock Trials. #SwivlChat #edchat

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:58 PM EST

A7 For students who have issues presenting in front of others, this is a great substitution. #SwivlChat

LitTeacherJenn Jan 26 @ 7:58 PM EST

This month I'm setting up a video #selfiecenter in our rm. Swivl will be a gr8 tool for this! #booktalks #reflection #SwivlChat #edchat

drkchilds Jan 26 @ 7:58 PM EST

A7: All of my students use Swivl. It must be used to complete their assignments (i.e. video capturing their classroom teaching) #SwivlChat

donovanscience Jan 26 @ 7:58 PM EST

A7 We have also discussed ways to use the videos of their presentations to help students learn to present better. #SwivlChat
