@giantdeadbody I REALLY love this idea. Tend to believe the kind of communication occurring at PT conferences should be constant. #MTedchat

My best to all the teachers in #MTedchat tonight! May this year be an incredible one for you and your students.

jhenze44 Aug 23 @ 10:44 PM EDT

A4: We do our Open House on the first day of school. Right when school gets out. Less 'projects' to display, more an introduction. #mtedchat

jhenze44 Aug 23 @ 10:46 PM EDT

@jdoss417 @cristama @p_doty I'm in HS - those kids have so much on their plate, I don't need to add to it. #MTedchat

kinsey80 Aug 23 @ 10:47 PM EDT

A5 A bus to teach on the go about sites we are visiting. Fantasy, I know. But a dream of mine. #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Aug 23 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@kimforuria A worthy request. Are others wanting that too? Perhaps it could be suggested... when a group asks... #mtedchat

St006C Aug 23 @ 10:48 PM EDT

@jhenze44 @cristama @giantdeadbody oh bummer! :( #MTedchat

jhenze44 Aug 23 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret Problem solved: Google Cardboard and StreetView app - virtual fieldtrips anytime! #mtedchat

@kimforuria Our district has grade level building teachers meet every Monday for an hour from 2:30pm-3:30pm. Ss have early release #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Aug 23 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@hoffmanteambret Beautiful dream... Found myself in a rural school where that is a reality. We NEED to use it more. Out = Access #mtedchat

Gaiaellyn Aug 23 @ 10:49 PM EDT

Once again the twitterverse points me in the direction that I need to be going. Thank you @cristama & @kimforuria & #MTedchat Great chat!

St006C Aug 23 @ 10:49 PM EDT

@jdoss417 Mmmmm... I love the request for meaningful feedback. That has always been a big one for me. #mtedchat

jhenze44 Aug 23 @ 10:50 PM EDT

A5: Not so much for me, but support for staff to bring their practice into 2016 and not 40 years ago. #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Aug 23 @ 10:50 PM EDT

@St006C @kimforuria C/p? #mtedchat

p_doty Aug 23 @ 10:51 PM EDT

A5) Time for meaningful collaboration with my teaching team that is NOT time away from students. #MTedchat

cristama - Moderator Aug 23 @ 10:51 PM EDT

Ha!! I just realized this may have been a selfish question for me to ask. I need to know...to help staff. Encourage input always. #mtedchat

jhenze44 Aug 23 @ 10:52 PM EDT

A5: reliable and good substitutes - too often we have to cover colleagues classes due to shortages. #mtedchat

LisaMarieLake Aug 23 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@jdoss417 And I think we forget that we might need to do this ALL year, not just the first few weeks or months. #MTedchat

St006C Aug 23 @ 10:52 PM EDT

@cristama No selfish-we need feedback from others so we can b effective! #MTedchat
