A1: The primary goal I have is to use tech to enhance my teaching to new levels, not just replace what I already do. #6thchat

hs_math_phys Jun 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 Tech is employed only when it provides a clear advantage to paper/pencil learning. Access, collaboration, editability, etc. #6thChat

hs_math_phys Jun 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Not just "new", but "new and improved." #6thChat

SamReisman93 Jun 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: The primary goal I have is to use tech to enhance my teaching to new levels, not just replace what I already do. #6thchat

TrishKing6 Jun 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1. Tech should improve or enhance the way my Ss and I communicate, collaborate, consume, create, and share our work. #6thchat

hs_math_phys Jun 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Q1 What are the primary teaching/learning goals you have for tech in your classroom? #6thChat

missfgrade6 Jun 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1-enhance the topic I'm teaching in science connect to students high tech world #littletechies #6thchat

staceyreeder Jun 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: Tech should elevate, extend, and enhance learning in a meaningful way, not just digitize something for Ss. #6thchat

mskaufmanELA Jun 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: To enhance teaching/learning. I try to look at it through SAMR. #6thchat

MrTravisDrake Jun 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1 I'm assuming my district will be 1-1 within 2 years, and I want to be close to a master with Google classroom and other tech #6thchat

hs_math_phys Jun 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Is everyone in the #6thChat room familiar with SAMR?

mskaufmanELA Jun 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT

hs_math_phys Jun 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2 What’s one teaching/learning problem you tried to solve this year with tech? How did it go? #6thChat

mskaufmanELA Jun 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

SAMR is a model to help Ts use tech. =Substitution,Augmentation,Modification, &Redefinition. More than using tech just to do it. #6thchat

In reply to @hs_math_phys, @TrishKing6

staceyreeder Jun 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: Used GAFE tools to keep Ss engaged & interacting with feedback to affect positive change on their reading & writing work. #6thchat

mskaufmanELA Jun 13 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Here's a pic example. I might have some video links somewhere too... #6thchat #SAMR

In reply to @hs_math_phys, @TrishKing6

missfgrade6 Jun 13 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2- streamlining informal assessments quizizz and kahoot help with that #6thChat

staceyreeder Jun 13 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: Overall tech helped close the feedback loop! Still room to grow, but it was a great start! #6thchat

mskaufmanELA Jun 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Thanks! It was hard! I had to keep fixing it! #6thchat

In reply to @hs_math_phys

hs_math_phys Jun 13 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Two excellent choices, by the way. (My experiences with Kahoot: https://t.co/gm010jjEib ) #6thChat

staceyreeder Jun 13 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Maybe not exactly as planned, but many Ss reported being more engaged with & using feedback to affect work than in the past = WIN! #6thchat

In reply to @hs_math_phys

mskaufmanELA Jun 13 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: Using GSuite to try to go paperless! It was mostly successful, but some days we just needed a tech break! #6thchat

SamReisman93 Jun 13 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2: 1 problem I tried to fix was getting answers from all Ss. I tried back-channels and @PearDeck to help fix this #6thchat

hs_math_phys Jun 13 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Huge problem to try to solve... All our students have a meaningful voice and they need to be heard #6thChat

I tried similar with @padlet to less successful results, I found it helped to be able to ID students in some way for accountability #6thchat

MrTravisDrake Jun 13 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3 using @ClassDojo to keep track of Ss conduct grade, while keeping Parents in the know #6thchat

TrishKing6 Jun 13 @ 9:33 PM EDT

SamReisman93 Jun 13 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3: I had Ss use @AdobeSpark or @Animoto to create videos based on Greek Myths #6thchat

mskaufmanELA Jun 13 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3: Definitely #GoogleClassroom! I used it so much- to push out assignments, monitor while I was out, answer ?s, share links/info. #6thchat

staceyreeder Jun 13 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3: Not overteaching tool, instead introducing Ss to 1 aspect of tool then Ss discover the possibilities. Curiosity = driver! #6thchat

hs_math_phys Jun 13 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Can you share links? I wanna see?! #6thChat

SamReisman93 Jun 13 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3: I had Ss use @AdobeSpark or @Animoto to create videos based on Greek Myths #6thchat

missfgrade6 Jun 13 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A3- besides previous answers I like discovery education too! #sciencerules #6thchat

SamReisman93 Jun 13 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@PearDeck is great, you use it to share slides w/ students so they see as you see and you can incorporate various kinds of ?s in it #6thchat

In reply to @hs_math_phys, @missfgrade6, @staceyreeder, @PearDeck, @PearDeck

missfgrade6 Jun 13 @ 9:36 PM EDT

I love it! 😍 I could spend a long time going through everything on there. #6thchat

In reply to @hs_math_phys, @REMC_13

hs_math_phys Jun 13 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Yes! Let tools be introduced driven by need. What problem are we trying to solve? What's the right tool for that? #6thChat

staceyreeder Jun 13 @ 9:34 PM EDT

MrTravisDrake Jun 13 @ 9:41 PM EDT

I see it as a real time tool that allows Ss and Ps to see where they stand, so there are no surprises on report card. #6thChat

In reply to @hs_math_phys, @ClassDojo

hs_math_phys Jun 13 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4 - I remember the first (and last) time I tried student blogs in math class... total flop. Took about a month to bail on it. #6thChat

staceyreeder Jun 13 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4: Must be more intentional prompting Ss & giving time for them to mine their G Drive for feedback & ideas. Digital work = buried. #6thchat

A4: Sadly, Padlet was a failure for me. Had a class that decided to just post pics and silly things and spam the field. #6thchat

hs_math_phys Jun 13 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Yes! We teachers get so jacked about giving feedback. Often forget to teach and support students actually making use of it. #Truth #6thChat

A4: I always try to use Remind & ClassDojo, & then I just forget about them/don't do them often enough. Then they just disappear! #6thchat

MrTravisDrake Jun 13 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A4 District went with Envision Math, and some of the classroom programs were a total flop. Did not allow place to show their work. #6thChat

TrishKing6 Jun 13 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4. We tried digital global penpals in the spring but the timing of vacations, etc. was off & it just didn't work. #6thchat
