Join us for our district's monthly twitter chat focusing on "Integrating the Arts" on February 1st from 7-8 pm. Come and chat about how to integrate music, art, and other specialized areas into your classroom to build learning across the content areas!
Innovation is important b/c we are preparing students for a world that doesn't exist yet. If we don't model innovation where else will Ss learn to innovate. #CCSEdChat
A1- Innovation is important in education because we need to keep growing our students to rise above what is expected. Too often they here “your generation” in a negative light, if we keep innovating that phrase is going to be used positively! #CCSEdchat
A1 Innovation is the way we engage students and help teachers ignite and sustain their passion for education. For me, the opposite of innovation is boredom! #CCSEdChat
#CCSEdChat I talk to my kids. Find what they like. Use that in class discussion when talking about concepts. It helps me stay up to date on trends as well.
A2. Although Ts and Ps give me new ideas DAILY, it's my own kids who inspire me to be innovative...traditional does not reach either of them...yet they have SO much to offer! #CCSEdChat

A2. MY STUDENTS!! I want to motivate and challenge them in the classroom! Friends who inspire me to continue to learn about different innovations are @jlg523 and a lot of my tweeps I've met on twitter and at events like @EdCampFay ! #CCSEdChat
I am inspired by CCS Instructional Coaches! They amaze me with the ideas and solutions to problems that they are able to implement! They challenge me to be more innovative! #CCSEdChat
A3. I try to integrate fun and engaging activities, to include technology, as often as I can. One of my favorite things that I use across all contents is @Flocabulary . Ss love it! #CCSEdChat
A3: That's tough because innovation doesn't essentially technology. In the recent term advocating for extended school days to end the semester before winter break.

I created an interactive database for my EC team to use with data on the caseload (grades, absences, detentions) so we could look at one screen and compare info easily over time #CCSEdChat

#ccsedchat A.2 My child is what started me on this quest - his edu experience should not look like mine did 20 years ago bc his world is different and bc what is available to educators to enhance that experience is so much different! What I want for him I want for all students!
A3- Something that use that I consider innovative- Google Apps! Google Earth, Expeditions, Tour Builder, Slides/Docs for flipped lessons... and I also like how #google is always adding more! And Ts are sharing more and collaborating new ideas for the Google Suite. #CCSEdChat
I'm currently collaborating with the public library on a Racial Healing grant. It consists of 3 books that are free to the students, along with 3 sessions for discussion, a healing circle and we're doing diversty collages. #CCSEdChat

#CCSEdChat I tell some of my “older” colleagues they have to “get with the times” to relate with students now. Textbooks don’t cut it like they used to. I share some stuff I find on social media and short videos with them.

A4: A4: Collaboration with other educators & a robust PLN helps with the adults.
With Ss giving them opportunities to try stuff & gain experiences in appropriate settings.
#CCSEdChat
SO TRUE! This is also how to preserve rigor in our instruction! Ts sometimes pose a rigorous challenge, but then forget to "get out of the way" so the Ss can think critically! #CCSEdChat
A4 I collaborate with my coworkers any websites, books, etc. that I come across that I think might interest them. In fact I ran across Actively Learn today. I shared it with the FACS teacher, RSHS TOY, who loved it!#CCSEdChat
A5: I mean, I'm actually using Twitter for communicating, not just getting headlines. This has to be a step forward for me to actually use tech loved by our kids. #CCSEdChat

A6 There are a lot of free websites out there that offer different ways of doing things. Collaborating with more experienced Ts as well as taking advantage of all the PDs that CCS offers!#CCSEdChat
A1: Innovation is so important because our learners and our world change. We must include innovation in education so that we are meeting their needs. #CCSEdChat
A7- If we had the funds I’d love to invest in room transformations! I love what @hopekingteach does in her classroom. I’ve done it on a smaller scale but it’d be so fun to #gobigorgohome! #CCSEdChat
A2: I learn so much from my fellow colleagues in the profession and, most importantly, my students. They are great is sharing what motivates them to learn. #CCSEdChat
Well, there are many out there in cyber world that have started the ball rolling. Grab what's out there and use that. Ask kids what is new or sparks interest for them. #CCSEdChat
A3: While it may not be innovative, it has been for my classroom. Using SmartResponse and @Plickers helps me assess better, so that I can really gauge student understanding on concepts. #CCSEdChat
A4: I encourage my colleagues to model bravery, just like we ask of our students. It's ok to let students know that we are trying something new. Pick one thing and try it out. #CCSEdChat

A6: Innovation doesn't always mean a brand new gadget. It can be a new way of looking at a task.
One example, we used to do written reviews of our trip to The Nutcracker Ballet. Now, Ss film video reviews (using the Elmo)! #CCSEdChat
