  • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:34 PM EDT
    A0: Judy from #puhsd can't think of just one fav song, really into music then and now #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Apr 17 @ 10:35 PM EDT
    A1: Educators can’t expect that kids will turn off who they are when they walk into the classroom. #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Apr 17 @ 10:35 PM EDT
    A1: I pushed for it to be our class song but majority chose Have a Little Help from My Friends by Joe Cocker. Which I love too. #IEedchat
    In reply to @Simonometry, @puhsd
  • jswilliams Apr 17 @ 10:36 PM EDT
    A1: I have seen firsthand that when I scaffolded students learning from their reality the students would flourish. #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Apr 17 @ 10:36 PM EDT
    A1:Ts can best access our Ss intelligence/critical thinking skills through their own cultural voice. Aca language training follows #IEedchat
  • mark_synnott Apr 17 @ 10:36 PM EDT
    A1: We should be teaching Ss where they are at and using examples from their culture that they can relate to for prior knowledge. #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Apr 17 @ 10:36 PM EDT
    A0: Chris Lara 8th grade history. Favorite song was Viva La Vida by Coldplay #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:36 PM EDT
    @jswilliams you had to have a seat just for all the tapes LOL #IEedchat
    • jswilliams Apr 17 @ 10:34 PM EDT
      Took a long road trip with that tape in my tape deck. #IEedchat

  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:36 PM EDT
    A0: Jed Tech TOSA / math geek @puhsd @HeritageHSPats Cake was one for me - the distance: https://t.co/ebaBnEcF7F #IEedchat
  • shane_pinnell Apr 17 @ 10:37 PM EDT
    A0: Shane, Asst Dir of Tech for @puhsd. Favorite song from teen years? Lullaby from The Cure, but there are many others. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:38 PM EDT
    A1: It shows effort to try and communicate with Ss. ... #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:38 PM EDT
    A1 cont'd ... There is a broad spectrum of integration - not everything has to relate to it, but show some effort #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:38 PM EDT
    A1: including youth culture allows empowerment, engagement, student-centered activities #IEedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Apr 17 @ 10:39 PM EDT
    Q1b: Why are some educators hesitant or even scared to bring Youth Culture in the classroom? #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Apr 17 @ 10:39 PM EDT
    A1: it is relevant to the Ss so it should be relevant to educators. #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Apr 17 @ 10:39 PM EDT
    A1: it's important to know the reality SS are in & use examples from it. Also they see things from a different perspective #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Apr 17 @ 10:40 PM EDT
    A1b: Teachers fear giving up control of the class. But we need the students to be the subject of the learning; It's their class. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:40 PM EDT
    A1b: It bursts the comfort bubble Youth Culture is inherently new, therefore different, many don't like different. #IEedchat
  • karenvaites Apr 17 @ 10:40 PM EDT
    Hi #IEedchat! I'm Chief Evangelist at #OER curriculum provider @openupresources, and I STILL ❤️ this song. https://t.co/BWirvH95xG
  • AshleyMSJC5 Apr 17 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1b:Welcoming Ss slang, music,& style can feel like a loss of control to Ts, but respect of YC is shared ownership of the learning #IEedchat
  • mark_synnott Apr 17 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1b: Youth Culture is often viewed as a bad culture because it's very different from the teacher's culture. It's scary to some. #IEedchat
  • Simonometry Apr 17 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1: It's their world and if we don't bring it into the classroom, then it's tougher to keep them engaged and connect content #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Apr 17 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1b: from what I've seen, some view youth culture as dumb and unimportant which is very very wrong #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1b: agree that some Ts feel out of control, but that is a thing of the past, or should be #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Apr 17 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1b: Some people are afraid of what they don't know or understand. It may seem easier to avoid it rather than embrace it. #IEedchat
  • shane_pinnell Apr 17 @ 10:41 PM EDT
    A1: Much of our communication and connection stems from shared experiences (idioms, memes, etc…). #IEedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Apr 17 @ 10:42 PM EDT
    Q2 in 1 minute. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:42 PM EDT
    Welcome Karen! And love the song choice. #IEedchat
    In reply to @karenvaites, @openupresources
  • jswilliams Apr 17 @ 10:42 PM EDT
    That's exactly right. We are educators. Not content delivery machines. #IEedchat
    In reply to @Simonometry
  • shane_pinnell Apr 17 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    A1b: It can be hard to understand these “kids these days” #ieedchat
  • Simonometry Apr 17 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    A1b: I think many Ts can't relate b/c it isn't their world and there are many diffs between how they grew up and how Ss grow up #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:43 PM EDT
    A2: have had some fun lessons w/Ss making and sharing memes that we created about the literature we were reading #IEedchat
    • shane_pinnell Apr 17 @ 10:41 PM EDT
      A1: Much of our communication and connection stems from shared experiences (idioms, memes, etc…). #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Apr 17 @ 10:44 PM EDT
    A2: Embrace art, music, fashion and language variation in your class. Students will share their reality with you. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:44 PM EDT
    A1b b: Youth Culture or any thing that is unfamiliar can scare T from saying / doing wrong thing. (Politics/Correctness) #IEedchat
  • Simonometry Apr 17 @ 10:44 PM EDT
    It's their world and we are just taking up space if we aren't able to relate and bring in their culture to make learning relevant #IEedchat
    • jswilliams Apr 17 @ 10:40 PM EDT
      A1b: Teachers fear giving up control of the class. But we need the students to be the subject of the learning; It's their class. #IEedchat
  • mark_synnott Apr 17 @ 10:45 PM EDT
    A2: Put ideas in Ss hands. Ask Ss what is important to them. Then ask them to design something that will make their lives better. #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Apr 17 @ 10:45 PM EDT
    A2 I think concepts/ideas are better retained if Ss can understand them through their own cultural lens. Ts should encourage this. #IEedchat
  • Simonometry Apr 17 @ 10:45 PM EDT
    Agreed! #IEedchat
    In reply to @jswilliams
  • shane_pinnell Apr 17 @ 10:45 PM EDT
    A2: Valuing their interests, art, song, etc… and allowing their expression could increase interest and engagement? #ieedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:45 PM EDT
    A1b: some Ts might worry for example about explicit lyrics, visuals-getting back to music- sending wrong message, it's a balance #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:45 PM EDT
    Something I noticed in @judykaylane's lesson here was this helped some students learn more about their /own/ culture. #IEedchat
    • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:43 PM EDT
      A2: have had some fun lessons w/Ss making and sharing memes that we created about the literature we were reading #IEedchat
      • shane_pinnell Apr 17 @ 10:41 PM EDT
        A1: Much of our communication and connection stems from shared experiences (idioms, memes, etc…). #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Apr 17 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    A2: using their realities in the classroom makes the lessons more real and relatable for the SS #IEedchat
  • Simonometry Apr 17 @ 10:46 PM EDT
    I like that! "Shared ownership of learning" its how you build relationship with students #IEedchat
    In reply to @AshleyMSJC5
  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:47 PM EDT
    #IEedchat Q2.... "Q2: Tell us how educators can use Youth Culture to empower students?"
  • jswilliams Apr 17 @ 10:47 PM EDT
    Yes. We learn together. It's social. Students need to see us learning together. #IEedchat
    In reply to @AshleyMSJC5
  • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:47 PM EDT
    tru that, and the value of humor and why something is humorous, thanks @MathButler #IEedchat
    • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:45 PM EDT
      Something I noticed in @judykaylane's lesson here was this helped some students learn more about their /own/ culture. #IEedchat

  • ieedchat - Moderator Apr 17 @ 10:48 PM EDT
    Q2b: How can students bring in their life experiences to demonstrate that they have a desire to learn? #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Apr 17 @ 10:48 PM EDT
    A2: Understand Ss interests, what is important to Ss and bring it into the classroom. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:48 PM EDT
    A2: One small way: I played (relatively) current music as Ss started first activity coming into class (instead of silent timer) #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:48 PM EDT
    A2: it is empowering when one's culture is in fact, acknowledged/validated to begin with #IEedchat
  • Simonometry Apr 17 @ 10:48 PM EDT
    A2: I remember stopping a lesson to talk about the Boston Marathon Bombing as it unfolded on Twitter. Must bring in social media #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Apr 17 @ 10:49 PM EDT
    A2b: Share who you are. Be authentic. Create trust and let students draw connections from their life. Encourage sharing. #IEedchat
  • karenvaites Apr 17 @ 10:49 PM EDT
    I love the way @Flocabulary gets S's writing poetry (in the form of rap) to foster #studentvoice + engagement. #IEedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Apr 17 @ 10:50 PM EDT
    Q3 is on the way. #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Apr 17 @ 10:50 PM EDT
    A2b At risk of being stereotypical, Ss could interpret literature in their own vernacular. Urban example: https://t.co/tSEuQYyTp1 #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Apr 17 @ 10:50 PM EDT
    A2b:first Ts need to allow and encourage Ss to bring in their experiences. From there you'll see Ss take charge of their learning #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Apr 17 @ 10:51 PM EDT
    A2b cont:Better, Ss can interpret their own art/music/humor for us teachers. I, for one, would love to know their "take" on things #IEedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Apr 17 @ 10:51 PM EDT
    Q3: In what way is technology a part of Youth Culture? #IEedchat
  • Simonometry Apr 17 @ 10:51 PM EDT
    A2: Once the class culture and community are built, have real conversations and they will open up and share more about themselves #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:51 PM EDT
    @Simonometry powerful- social media for sure youth culture #IEedchat
    In reply to @Simonometry, @Simonometry
  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:51 PM EDT
    A2b: Bring in story often lends itself to Humanities; Math/Sciences can still give relevance w/ task based learning, build story. #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Apr 17 @ 10:52 PM EDT
    A3: Even if students don't have a lot of tech, it has influenced and informed their lives. #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Apr 17 @ 10:52 PM EDT
    A3: the Ss have grown up with tech. They know so many cool things are very willing to use it to learn as well as teach us #IEedchat
  • Simonometry Apr 17 @ 10:52 PM EDT
    I know it's a dated example b/c I've been out of the classroom but social media HAS to be brought into the learning experience #IEedchat
    In reply to @judykaylane
  • DeatraLee_Edu Apr 17 @ 10:52 PM EDT
    A2b: 1st there must be an environment of trust and respect of others, then Ss will be willing to share their experiences. #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:52 PM EDT
    @AshleyMSJC5 can we show thug notes in class, love them #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Apr 17 @ 10:53 PM EDT
    A3: Clearly tech is pervasive in youth culture. In addition to accelerating trends, it also accelerates good & bad personal info. #IEedchat
  • mark_synnott Apr 17 @ 10:53 PM EDT
    A3: For many students, technology is what links them to the rest of the people in their culture. #IEedchat
  • shane_pinnell Apr 17 @ 10:53 PM EDT
    Q3: Shorter list may be in what way tech isn’t a part of youth culture. Maybe not integral to all aspects, but usually influencing #IEedchat
  • AshleyMSJC5 Apr 17 @ 10:53 PM EDT
    Might need to get a permission slip... LOL #IEedchat
    In reply to @judykaylane
  • Chrisjlara24 Apr 17 @ 10:54 PM EDT
    A3: tech is apart of a lot of their daily lives. They're willing to use it to learn as well as teach us many cool tricks #IEedchat
  • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:54 PM EDT
    @Simonometry have done a twitter chat w/Ss and it was a blast and positive #IEedchat
    • Simonometry Apr 17 @ 10:52 PM EDT
      I know it's a dated example b/c I've been out of the classroom but social media HAS to be brought into the learning experience #IEedchat
      In reply to @judykaylane
  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:54 PM EDT
    A3: It's attached. Today's youth know tech as constant, not optional. Also more responsibility on Ss currently. Social Media etc. #IEedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Apr 17 @ 10:55 PM EDT
    Q3b: What are some myths about technology and Youth Culture? #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Apr 17 @ 10:55 PM EDT
    A3: Technology is a major part of Youth Culture. They share, connect, communicate, learn using technology. #IEedchat
  • mark_synnott Apr 17 @ 10:56 PM EDT
    A3b: MYTH: Kids only use technology for Facebook and to visit sites they're not supposed to. They can't learn using technology. #IEedchat
  • ganeshjacharya Apr 17 @ 10:56 PM EDT
    A1. If careful will help realize where youngsters are going wrong and right. Right ones can be groomed, wrong ones can be removed #IEedchat

  • elcoachKelly Apr 17 @ 10:56 PM EDT
    A3b: Not all technology is for "games," but to innovate and intrigue to know more #IEedchat (coming in late)
  • judykaylane Apr 17 @ 10:56 PM EDT
    A3: Tech is def a part of youth culture, we need to guide to the positive uses, when possible, espec. social media for example #IEedchat
  • BaynesHeidi Apr 17 @ 10:56 PM EDT
    A3: It permeates everything Ss do. Teaching the skills they need to navigate the digital world is a crucial part of education. #ieedchat
  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:56 PM EDT
    A3b: EVERY youth: - knows more tech than every adult. - wants tech all the time. Still a spectrum, even if more common than prior. #IEedchat
  • jswilliams Apr 17 @ 10:56 PM EDT
    A3b: It's a myth that kids are just consumers of media. Give them a chance to be producers. #IEedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Apr 17 @ 10:57 PM EDT
    Any final thoughts (FT) on Youth Culture in the classroom? #IEedchat
  • DeatraLee_Edu Apr 17 @ 10:57 PM EDT
    A3b: Myth is that kids know how to use technology as a learning tool and are choosing not to. #IEedchat
  • elcoachKelly Apr 17 @ 10:57 PM EDT
    lol! Yes= knows more than adults! #IEedchat
    In reply to @MathButler

    A3b: myth: Ss are only on Youtube or games or omg plagiarizing! #IEedchat
  • shane_pinnell Apr 17 @ 10:58 PM EDT
    A3b: Myth: kids don’t talk anymore Truth: they just don’t talk like we did #IEedchat
  • Chrisjlara24 Apr 17 @ 10:58 PM EDT
    A3b: 1 myth is it's a waste of time.There are many amazing things that tech does and can do and our Ss will improve it even more #IEedchat
  • elcoachKelly Apr 17 @ 10:58 PM EDT
    I agree! I think the perspective needs to be more optimistic than pessimistic toward youth and tech #IEedchat
    In reply to @judykaylane
  • AshleyMSJC5 Apr 17 @ 10:59 PM EDT
    FT: I love the idea of students deconstructing their music/slang for a "clueless"academic audience. #IEedchat
  • MathButler Apr 17 @ 10:59 PM EDT
    A3b b: If a student is on his/her computer during work time - he/she is definitely on task. Ss still need structure & management. #IEedchat
  • ieedchat - Moderator Apr 17 @ 11:00 PM EDT
    Thanks for joining #IEedchat. Next week we will discuss "If I had"
