Such a tough shift. How are you planning on doing that? #ctedu

In reply to @dkreiness

robpennington9 - Moderator Apr 4 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1. Our school has a good mix of digital and non-digital activities. Keep it focused on critical thinking. #ctedu

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:11 PM EDT

What sort of digital work is being done? #ctedu

In reply to @robpennington9

dkreiness - Moderator Apr 4 @ 8:11 PM EDT

STEAM class, PBL, even bringing in some social media as creation/curation tools #ctedu

A1: My school uses digital and non-digital- depends on T, though. Ss should be using tech to create, not instead of paper #CTedu

My kids love chromebooks, too! #ctedu

In reply to @robinsonchris7

robinsonchris7 Apr 4 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Yes, we see a lot of Substitution going on since we got chromebooks. #ctedu

When we got chromebooks so many Ts went paperless. Now they are rethinking their practices. #ctedu

In reply to @TheConnectedEdu, @RuthKidwell

robinsonchris7 Apr 4 @ 8:15 PM EDT

So are you saying this improves their instructional practices? #ctedu

In reply to @TheConnectedEdu, @RuthKidwell

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Yep. Many are realizing that being on a device all day every day isn't the best for kids. #ctedu

In reply to @dkreiness, @RuthKidwell

Can you clarify? What improves instructional practices? #ctedu

Q2 #ctedu

RuthKidwell Apr 4 @ 8:17 PM EDT

I'm pretty paperless myself, but still make sure to include choice and opportunity for non-tech #CTedu

In reply to @TheConnectedEdu

yet they'll stay on devices all day on non-educational apps and games #ctedu

A2: My feelings have not changed... use it a lot to "meet students where they're at." That's what can relate to/connect with #ctedu

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Q2 #ctedu

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Agreed but in school we need to lead with content not with tech. So many are discovering new tech tools and the content is secondary #ctedu

In reply to @dkreiness, @RuthKidwell

robpennington9 - Moderator Apr 4 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2. Need to think about purpose. Can you do this without tech? If yes, rethink. Use tech to do things you couldn't do before. #ctedu

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:19 PM EDT

I have seen many rethink the way they are using digital tools. Teaching should be about the content not the tools in my opinion. #ctedu

In reply to @robinsonchris7

dkreiness - Moderator Apr 4 @ 8:19 PM EDT

I'm proud to say that I don't see that much at my school, but I can see how it could easily happen #ctedu

A2: I think planning is essential to any lesson, but especially with tech. If planned right the thinking process can be improved #ctedu

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Q2 #ctedu

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:21 PM EDT

In moving from the middle level down to 3rd, I have had to rethink many things I used to use tech for. #ctedu

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Sometimes paper and pencil are still the best. #ctedu

JeremyDBond Apr 4 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2) Today's tech would've helped my learning as a kid. My introversion & different way of processing info might've been accommodated. #ctedu

In reply to @JeremyDBond

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Doing a lot of sketch noting with my kids this year. Amazing how it helps with comprehension. #ctedu

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Last Q. #ctedu

RuthKidwell Apr 4 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2 My practice has evolved w tech but focus is on integration not dependency; student-centered learning as pedagogy, tech as means #ctedu

robinsonchris7 Apr 4 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Can you explain this further? #ctedu

In reply to @TheConnectedEdu

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Kids are using graphic representations of ideas and concepts instead of traditional linear notes. #ctedu

In reply to @robinsonchris7

dkreiness - Moderator Apr 4 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3: For the sake of not sounding too cliche, essential questions and lesson objectives/"I can" statements help keep on track #ctedu

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Last Q. #ctedu

robinsonchris7 Apr 4 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Interesting I will have to test that out #ctedu I make paper concept maps and they upload to @Seesaw

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:29 PM EDT

We use sketchnotes for character traits and science concepts #ctedu

I have a preso that I use to introduce kids to the concept of sketchnoting. I will drop the link in here after the chat. #ctedu

In reply to @robinsonchris7, @Seesaw

RuthKidwell Apr 4 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Agreed - back to curric & assessment. What are the skills & knowledge of course? Then design lessons and determine if tech enhances #ctedu

In reply to @dkreiness

robinsonchris7 Apr 4 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: Ask for reflection, will this tech help with deep learning and pedagogy ? #ctedu

gdorn1 Apr 4 @ 8:38 PM EDT

Planning is important with the lessons and assessments. We need to empower students in the learning process. Such as PBL .#ctedu

TheConnectedEdu Apr 4 @ 8:39 PM EDT

That's great. I see a lot of SA on the SAMR model. Would like to see more MR. #ctedu
