Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: I love when I can help Ss connect Art & Literature using @ThingLink https://t.co/CXNL6BQ4HX #ADEchat

ebpeach May 3 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Hi. I work in a middle school as a special Ed math teacher. We did a project with science about half life. Kids aren't used to it. #ADEChat

WillcottJulie May 3 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1. It is important to integrate storytelling into the science classroom - lots of opportunities for that. #adechat

PerkyScience May 3 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: Lab reports is a start. Graphs and data for math, along with language arts and science. #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@WillcottJulie I love when there are opportunities for Ss to make connections between #Humanities and the sciences #adechat

WillcottJulie May 3 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 (again). Have included the science of art and sound into the science classroom as well. #adechat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@PerkyScience Regardless of subject area, writing is usually at the core of most assignments. #adechat

alfredsiha May 3 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Every essay is paired w a visual: #6wordstories, TED-style presentation, infomercial argument. All done on iPad. #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Happy to have you here on #ADEChat @ShannonSoger

nancykawaja May 3 @ 9:10 PM EDT

ELA, science, math / @BookCreatorApp in special education #adechat Chicken or egg? Is that a science book or a language book about science?

alfredsiha May 3 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Every essay is paired w a visual: #6wordstories, TED-style presentation, infomercial argument. All done on iPad. #adechat

PerkyScience May 3 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@alfredsiha 6 Word stories are great at getting Ss to think about what is truly important. Significant images increase power. #adechat

theipodteacher May 3 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: we've done many iBooks. Lots of interdisciplinary stuff there. https://t.co/6NsW2tiyKk #twima #twima2 #twima3 #twima4 #adechat

iPads in the classroom... #ADEChat https://t.co/4MywpQZTtk

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Q2: How do our students benefit from participating in an interdisciplinary unit? #ADEChat

alfredsiha May 3 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Agreed. Props to @dgoble2001 on the inspiration. #adechat https://t.co/Ap3dWqLkzN

PerkyScience May 3 @ 9:12 PM EDT

JennyGrabiec May 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1: We integrate storytelling and written expression into all subjects using our green screen studio! #ADEChat https://t.co/681BoJ1bTo

marcdrumm May 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1: Often see course’s main subject combine with history, e.g. history of Nursing in Padlet, history of costume design in Pinterest #adechat

theipodteacher May 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@ShannonSoger 85. Ha ha. On our way to 100! #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: Ss in my #humanities class never ask, “Why do we need to learn this?” They see how it all fits together. #adechat

PerkyScience May 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: The more connections the deeper the learning. Plus interdisciplinary helps Ss tie everything together. #adechat

WillcottJulie May 3 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2. The real world is not divided into curriculum areas so education also should not be. #adechat

ebpeach May 3 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2: benefits-seeing how to use what we teach in the real world, making connections, transferring of knowledge, seeing relationships #adechat

nancykawaja May 3 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: learning=concrete&woven together as experience not separate "categories" but a combination of understanding inquiry discovery #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@PerkyScience So true. It allows them to make connections to other subjects and the world outside of our classroom. #adechat

alfredsiha May 3 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: @Mrreiff not just a unit. Whole semester. Life is interdisciplinary! #adechat

theipodteacher May 3 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2: they benefit by seeing connections. Learning shouldn't be isolated. #adechat

cicohen May 3 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1: Love how @dgoble2001 6 shot story unites ideas. I have Ss create one uniting literature w 9/11 memories #ADEchat https://t.co/pzhJSJM8Td

alfredsiha May 3 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Every essay is paired w a visual: #6wordstories, TED-style presentation, infomercial argument. All done on iPad. #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@alfredsiha Real life isn’t broken down into neat 40 minute segments, so why is secondary ed? #ADEChat

PerkyScience May 3 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@theipodteacher so true! Ss need to see how everything fits together and supports each other. One discipline cannot survive alone. #adechat

JennyGrabiec May 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: Interdisciplinary projects often provide more opportunities for student creativity, choice and voice #ADEChat https://t.co/gPeguLnMhp

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: Student told me she finally made the connection in my class between power of images, sound, psychology & writing. #winning #ADEchat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@dgoble2001 My favorite moments in class are when my Ss bring in info from their other classes and apply it to my subject area #adechat

marcdrumm May 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: I think it can help with problem solving. The answer may not necessarily come from the subject you’re focused on. #adechat

cicohen May 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2 Making connections between subjects can make less accessible subjects more accessible to Ss… & then make learning more enjoyable #ADEchat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Kristin really stretched my mind & helped me make enormous connections to all content. @JennyLehotsky @KristinZiemke @ILAToday #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Q3: How does planning an interdisciplinary unit benefit your development as a teacher? #adechat

PerkyScience May 3 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A2: Interdisciplinary projects can help "catch" Ss in subject matter they originally didn't think they enjoyed. #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:22 PM EDT

A3: Teaching ELA as an interdisciplinary unit with a SS teacher allowed me to view my own discipline from a new & fresh perspective #adechat

KristinZiemke May 3 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@JennyLehotsky Thanks so much Jenny! We’re really excited about it too! #D100chat @dgoble2001 @ILAToday #adechat

ShannonSoger May 3 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3 Whenever t’s can broaden their perspective on teaching it will only help reach more s's #adechat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Love challenging my sts to take content from their classes & use my class time to create videos to show comprehension. @Mrreiff #adechat

theipodteacher May 3 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: it helps you see connections and helps you relate to the kids who want to see connections. #adechat

nancykawaja May 3 @ 9:23 PM EDT

I had Ss with special needs who learned persuasive narrative / @BookCreatorApp & independently transfrd knowledge Pt1 #adechat

KristinZiemke May 3 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@dgoble2001 mutually beneficial learning. #obvi #d100chat #adechat @JennyLehotsky @ILAToday

nancykawaja May 3 @ 9:24 PM EDT

part 2: to use tool to create video task analysis for cooking at home. #adechat THIS is what it's about!

cicohen May 3 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3 It can help forge connections w/ Ts I may otherwise not get to know… These relationships can open the doors to new ideas. #ADEchat

ebpeach May 3 @ 9:24 PM EDT

First and foremost collaboration is the key to student success. Also we model working together so Ss follow suit. #wholechild #adechat

marcdrumm May 3 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: It’s always beneficial to see what other teachers are doing. Great way to get ideas and evaluate your own methods. #adechat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Helping students make connections between subjects & audience improves deepens their critical thinking skills. #adechat

alfredsiha May 3 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: opportunity for continued development as an educator first. Not just teaching writing: critical thinking, reading the world. #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@ebpeach Collaboration is probably the most important skill we can model for our Ss. #adechat

digitalteacher May 3 @ 9:26 PM EDT

#ADEChat A3 - Jumping in late here on Q3 - I’ve seen teachers collaborating across disciplines to create projects for Ss as powerful PD.

MelanieSSpencer May 3 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 It broadens you own understanding and deepens the quality of tasks - they become richer #adechat

PerkyScience May 3 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@marcdrumm I believe I improve as an educator every time I work with another teacher. Everyone brings fresh ideas. #adechat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Yes @alfredsiha! We must #ReadTheWorld & value all of its literacies! Reading, writing, & media. #adechat

KristinZiemke May 3 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 Doing some work tomorrow on graphics. Have you seen this #d100chat? https://t.co/TsVZpHSH1Z #AmplifyEd #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@MelanieSSpencer I recently realized that I never really understood Dante’s Inferno until I wrote a unit on it with a SS Tchr #adechat

cinehead May 3 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3 #adechat Planning interdisciplinary units keeps me on my toes, keeps me learning and excited

WillcottJulie May 3 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@KristinZiemke Happy to see the importance - and beauty - of graphs recognized. #ADEchat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@cinehead In a good interdisciplinary classroom, we’re all students and we’re all learners. #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Q4: How does technology add value to cross-curricular planning? #ADEChat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4; EdTech allows Ss to express their understanding of cross-curricular connections in ways that were inconceivable a few years ago #ADEchat

KristinZiemke May 3 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Alright, this one is for you friends: I’m giving a copy of #AmplifyEd to anyone who hashtags #d100chat & retweets in next 15 min #adechat

nancykawaja May 3 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: synthesize content; #accessibility (always) #adechat

cinehead May 3 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4 #adechat Using tech facilitates collaboration betw Ss & Ts, allows for multimedia #digitalstorytelling and #medialiteracy

PerkyScience May 3 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: The collaboration element becomes so much bigger. Ss don't have to be in the same classroom or some school to work together. #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@nancykawaja Synthesis = true understanding of content #adechat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3: iOS video is the perfect tool to execute interdisciplinary ideas bc devices have democratized the process & made accessible #ADEchat

MelanieSSpencer May 3 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4 Opens a world of opportunity. Research can be broad & presentation can be so creative if you choose the right tool for the task #adechat

ShannonSoger May 3 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4 Tech adds value by opening so many more doors to s’s and t's, esp when published! #adechat

WillcottJulie May 3 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A4. Collaboration becomes easier and broader - literally across the world - with technology. #ADEchat

marcdrumm May 3 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@PerkyScience Fortunate to work w/ faculty from variety of fields, pass ideas among them.Recently gave Econ. prof idea from Nursing #adechat

JennyGrabiec May 3 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: Technology often provides the accessibility tools that your struggling learners NEED and helps them break through barriers. #ADEChat

cinehead May 3 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4 #adechat Tech allows for authentic publication and sharing of interdisciplinary projects

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@MelanieSSpencer Ed tech allows us to finally move beyond tests and essays as the only tools we use for assessment #adechat

nancykawaja May 3 @ 9:33 PM EDT

.@dgoble2001 You're singing my song! #adechat #accessibility #rightoutofthebox

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: iOS video is the perfect tool to execute interdisciplinary ideas bc devices have democratized the process & made accessible #ADEchat

cinehead May 3 @ 9:34 PM EDT

#adechat There are no standardized tests in life, only many right answers. https://t.co/LqofQkTUxj

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@MelanieSSpencer Ed tech allows us to finally move beyond tests and essays as the only tools we use for assessment #adechat

RossCoops31 May 3 @ 9:34 PM EDT

The more I used tech with my fourth graders, the more I realized we didn't need it. #ADEChat

MelanieSSpencer May 3 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4 In planning, determining to use tech can make for some 'blue sky dreaming' moments too. Imagine playing with the 'What if...?' #adechat

KristinZiemke May 3 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Looking to keep the convo going? Head over to #Adechat with @Mrreiff! All are invited to share your awesome. #D100chat #AmplifyEd

JennyGrabiec May 3 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@marcdrumm @PerkyScience Very cool! Are you an instructional designer for many different subjects? #ADEChat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@cinehead I always tell my Ss that there are no right answers. The only wrong answer is the one you can not support #adechat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:35 PM EDT

My A3 & A4 are same bc video on ANY device breathes new life into learning & our sts WANT to be producers of their own thoughts. #adechat

JennyGrabiec May 3 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@RossCoops31 Maybe you didn't, but some of your kids might have. #accessibility #ADEChat

nancykawaja May 3 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@JennyGrabiec @RossCoops31 Essential for some; good for ALL. #adechat

RossCoops31 May 3 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@JennyGrabiec Oh, are we talking accessibility?!? #ADEChat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@dgoble2001 Ss can express ideas & understanding through video that they may have been unable to express through other methods. #ADEChat

hutchins_hb May 3 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Check this out! #amplifiedED @KristinZiemke @7Firestone @angietanstaffo1 @SchererBeth #d100chat #adechat

JennyGrabiec May 3 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@RossCoops31 We are talking technology, which can encompass accessibility. #ADEChat

cicohen May 3 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A4: Integrating media helps Ss integrate subjects. I think the highest level understanding happens when Ss do both. #ADEchat

nancykawaja May 3 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@JennyGrabiec @RossCoops31 #adechat if we are talking about students, we are talking about #accessibility :)

RossCoops31 May 3 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@JennyGrabiec How are you? #ADEChat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@RossCoops31 Like any other resource, tech is just another tool. It all boils down to the Tchr and how it’s being used. #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Q5: What are some of the challenges you face when planning interdisciplinary units? #ADEChat

RossCoops31 May 3 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@Mrreiff Shakespeare? #adechat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Generational gap exists w/video bc certain teachers see this instead of this. @Mrreiff #adechat https://t.co/zuhLZSB2Ed

cinehead May 3 @ 9:38 PM EDT

If we care about differentiating instruction, we need to integrate #edtech and multimedia. Everyone learns in diff ways #adechat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Getting Tchrs to reach & think beyond their own discipline can be challenging. #adechat

JennyGrabiec May 3 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@RossCoops31 Good! You? #ADEChat https://t.co/lxJImIAsvr

RossCoops31 May 3 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@MelanieSSpencer I moved towards prioritizing inquiry over technology, and realized tech is not synonymous w/ innovation. #adechat

PerkyScience May 3 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5 Getting all stakeholders on the same page. Discovering ways to tie disciplines together simultaneously. #adechat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:39 PM EDT

When we ask students to deeply think about every choice & select w/intention, immense learning occurs @cicohen #adechat #medialiteracy

KristinZiemke May 3 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5 A challenge is always differentiating for different range of readers. Less so now as many different options for entry to content #adechat

cinehead May 3 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5 #adechat @Mrreiff Lets empower Ss to help learn what the teacher doesn't when planning interdisciplinary projects.

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@RossCoops31 What tools other than tech can we use to support 21st century inquiry? #ADEChat @MelanieSSpencer

RossCoops31 May 3 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@Mrreiff @MelanieSSpencer Tech isn't necessary for collaboration, higher-order thinking routines, speaking skills, etc. #ADEChat

KristinZiemke May 3 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@Mrreiff @RossCoops31 books, chart paper, markers, stickies, periodicals, realia, toys, interviews, students #adechat @MelanieSSpencer

theipodteacher May 3 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: old brains. #adechat

MelanieSSpencer May 3 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5 Lack of time. Risk averse colleagues. Inflexibility around assessment. Territorialism. Strict adherence to National Curriculum #adechat

marcdrumm May 3 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@JennyGrabiec Yes, we help faculty throughout entire university - all subjects. Gives flexibility in finding/offering solutions. #adechat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5: #MediaLiteracy us the #1 skill not universally valued or taught in education. My greatest challenge is to create growth mindset #adechat

RossCoops31 May 3 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@KristinZiemke @Mrreiff @MelanieSSpencer Yes! Kristin speaks my language. #adechat

nancykawaja May 3 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Yes, like #adechat https://t.co/WwmK44sPQt

KristinZiemke May 3 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@dgoble2001 I’d say in US education; seeing way different value placed on #medialiteracy from schools around the world. #adechat

JennyGrabiec May 3 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@marcdrumm Sounds fun! Exposes you to a lot of different content. #ADEChat

WillcottJulie May 3 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@KristinZiemke @Mrreiff @RossCoops31 @MelanieSSpencer Don't forget my personal favorite - Legos! #ADEchat

JennyGrabiec May 3 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@nancykawaja Get it, girl! :) #ADEChat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: The time it takes to create an interdisciplinary PPT, my students will have a video, blog, tweet, post, snap & global audience #adechat

cicohen May 3 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5 For a grade 10 humanities class I struggled w how to unite US History & ELA. Realized the best choice was by theme & not content #ADEchat

KristinZiemke May 3 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Legos, blocks and K’nex #FTW @WillcottJulie #adechat https://t.co/N2Bk9fw2DU

WillcottJulie May 3 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@KristinZiemke @Mrreiff @RossCoops31 @MelanieSSpencer Don't forget my personal favorite - Legos! #ADEchat

MelanieSSpencer May 3 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A5 Having said that, I rarely encounter it 😊 #adechat

JennyGrabiec May 3 @ 9:45 PM EDT

I think it's obvious to innovative educators that balance is key and tech isn't always the best tool. #ADEChat

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@MelanieSSpencer I’m often asked, “How do I teach an interdisciplinary unit when I have state exams to prep for?” You can do both! #adechat

RebeccaMarsick May 3 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@cicohen YES! Focus Questions so essential in this work #adechat

KristinZiemke May 3 @ 9:45 PM EDT

nancykawaja May 3 @ 9:45 PM EDT

I'm gonna say it... it is necessary for some. #udl we need to interchangeably accept pen, voice, audio, visual #adechat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Awesome if education outside of US values #medialiteracy. But watch US elections tonight for proof. #adechat https://t.co/Fb36yGDTYo

Mrreiff May 3 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@dgoble2001 I’m like a ninja when it comes to test prep. Ss are shocked to realize we’ve been prepping the whole time #ADEChat

dgoble2001 May 3 @ 9:49 PM EDT
