  • landersrn - Moderator Feb 27 @ 5:15 PM EST
    Some of you already answered this: Q4-If you made contacts, will you collaborate with them on future projects/lessons? #TTLA2
  • coachcfly Feb 27 @ 5:16 PM EST
    A4 I'm very excited about working with a group who makes battery powered lights for people who live in areas w/out electricity. #TTLA2

    Alternate Q6: What was your favorite PART of the conference? @melis #TTLA2
    In reply to @melis
  • coachcfly Feb 27 @ 5:27 PM EST
    A6 I wanted to share about rap and hip hop bc I was so motivated to use those resources and wanted others to see them too. #TTLA2
  • WMSreads Feb 27 @ 5:27 PM EST
    A6: This session was the one I could see myself implementing - and I liked the collaboration between librarian and teacher. #TTLA2
  • kelly_worstell Feb 27 @ 5:28 PM EST
    A6 I chose my session because I felt anyone at any level could use it. #TTLA2
  • 4jmgriffin Feb 27 @ 5:28 PM EST
    A6 - Resource that all subject areas and grade levels can use. Easy to set up for formative assessment and provide realtime feedback. #TTLA2
  • PennyHeisel Feb 27 @ 5:28 PM EST
    @landersrn AQ6: I think my favorite part was Wednesday's keynote. Never thought a keynote would get my vote.#TTLA2
    In reply to @landersrn, @melis, @landersrn
  • Ms_Kottmann Feb 27 @ 5:28 PM EST
    Q6: Always looking for ways to incorporate multi-media into ELA lessons. The session about Actively Learn did a great job of that.#TTLA2
  • landersrn - Moderator Feb 27 @ 5:28 PM EST
    @coachcfly Here's a question, though: What if you have a student that hates rap "music?" #TTLA2
    In reply to @coachcfly, @coachcfly
  • ksofly1 Feb 27 @ 5:29 PM EST
    A6 I am planning to use Google Tours so I thought it was worth sharing. I loved the freedom to choose and move! #TTLA2

    @ksofly1 I dug the Google Tours one as well! #TTLA2

  • coachcfly Feb 27 @ 5:30 PM EST
    Teachers have to know their students, and they have to present every lesson in a way that invites rather than excludes. #TTLA2
    In reply to @landersrn
  • coachcfly Feb 27 @ 5:32 PM EST
    If I have students who "hate" anything I am presenting, I present as a different way of seeing the world, not only way. #TTLA2
    In reply to @landersrn
  • BrennanWHS Feb 27 @ 5:33 PM EST
    A6: #TTLA2 Of the sessions I attended the one I did video on had most concrete ideas and tools.

    A7 - I used Google Slides, Screencastify, and Youtube! #TTLA2
  • Ms_Kottmann Feb 27 @ 5:38 PM EST
    Q7: SMART Notebook #TTLA2
  • WMSreads Feb 27 @ 5:38 PM EST
    A7: I used WeVideo. Went smoother than I thought it would! #TTLA2
  • ksofly1 Feb 27 @ 5:38 PM EST
    A7 Screencastify-super easy! I will definitely use it again! #TTLA2
  • melissagold Feb 27 @ 5:38 PM EST
    Smart notebook recorder. #ttla2
  • coachcfly Feb 27 @ 5:38 PM EST
    A7 I made my vid. using Screencastify Lite. I liked the options but it lacks editing. Easy process. I made cuts on YouTube. #TTLA2
  • Ms_Kottmann Feb 27 @ 5:38 PM EST
    @4jmgriffin Is Screencastify a Google add-on? I was trying to use it, but couldn't figure it out. #TTLA2

    Q8-Approx. how long is your video, and how long did it take you to make it? #TTLA2
  • Ms_Kottmann Feb 27 @ 5:40 PM EST
    A8: About 4:30. It did not take long at all to make. Uploading to Youtube was easy as well. #TTLA2
  • ksofly1 Feb 27 @ 5:40 PM EST
    A8 the video is about 3 minutes and it took maybe 6 minutes to make, including downloading time and a practice. #TTLA2
  • 4jmgriffin Feb 27 @ 5:40 PM EST
    Yes, it is an add-on! It is super easy to use as everyone said. #TTLA2
    In reply to @Ms_Kottmann
  • coachcfly Feb 27 @ 5:40 PM EST
    A8 my video is just under 3 minutes. Took a few tries, but went pretty smoothly. #TTLA2
  • WMSreads Feb 27 @ 5:41 PM EST
    A8: About 3 minutes. Took me maybe ten minutes total to edit it and put it on YouTube. Very easy! #TTLA2
  • PennyHeisel Feb 27 @ 5:41 PM EST
    @landersrn A8; 2 1/2 minutes. 30 minutes, but it shows. Not great #TTLA2
    In reply to @landersrn, @landersrn
  • melissagold Feb 27 @ 5:41 PM EST
    It's 3 min and took about 5 min to make #ttla2
  • kelly_worstell Feb 27 @ 5:42 PM EST
    A8 3:44 - Longer than it should have. My first attempt was over 7 minutes so took a little practice to cut it down #TTLA2
  • PennyHeisel Feb 27 @ 5:42 PM EST
    @PennyHeisel Please remember this was a 1st for me. #TTLA2
    In reply to @landersrn, @PennyHeisel
  • 4jmgriffin Feb 27 @ 5:44 PM EST
    A8 - Length 4:30 and approx an hour to make it. It is in no way perfect! #TTLA2
  • kashenm Feb 27 @ 5:44 PM EST
    A8: About 6 minutes long. Not long. I wrote out what I wanted to talk about and had to redo it once, I didn't edit do much with it. #TTLA2
  • landersrn - Moderator Feb 27 @ 5:44 PM EST
    A8: These should not be too time consuming. Object is to decrease your workload, not increase it. You will get faster w/practice! #TTLA2
  • BrennanWHS Feb 27 @ 5:44 PM EST
    #TTLA2 A8: about three minutes and one take but thought about it quite a bit in I44 in days before
  • landersrn - Moderator Feb 27 @ 5:45 PM EST
    Q9-What challenges did you face while making the video? #TTLA2
  • landersrn - Moderator Feb 27 @ 5:45 PM EST
    @PennyHeisel No worries! #TTLA2
    In reply to @PennyHeisel, @PennyHeisel
  • PennyHeisel Feb 27 @ 5:46 PM EST
    Q9: Just hadn't done it before. Really not hard. Never put it on youtube before, again easier.#TTLA2
  • 4jmgriffin Feb 27 @ 5:46 PM EST
    A9 - Cutting the time to under 5 min. and uploading it since I have never used Youtube to share my videos. #TTLA2
  • ksofly1 Feb 27 @ 5:47 PM EST
    A9 I hate my voice. #TTLA2
  • coachcfly Feb 27 @ 5:47 PM EST
    A9 Biggest problem was figuring out how to turn off the recording. I had about 20 seconds of silence at end. Had to edit in YouTube. #TTLA2
  • WMSreads Feb 27 @ 5:47 PM EST
    A9: Sounds silly but I hate hearing myself talk. Plus I wasn't sure about uploading to YouTube but WeVideo worked well with it. #TTLA2
  • kelly_worstell Feb 27 @ 5:47 PM EST
    A9 Finding the right tools to use, keeping it short, and trying not to umm #TTLA2
  • landersrn - Moderator Feb 27 @ 5:48 PM EST
    Two more questions... #TTLA2
  • landersrn - Moderator Feb 27 @ 5:48 PM EST
    Q10-Are you more likely to flip a lesson, now that you know more about making the videos? #TTLA2
  • melissagold Feb 27 @ 5:48 PM EST
    A9. Yes hearing my voice! And at first I plugged in a mic but it didn't pick it up #ttla2
  • coachcfly Feb 27 @ 5:49 PM EST
    A9 I'd like to figure out how to connect several different videos into one. Probably easy, but I haven't done it yet. #TTLA2
  • ksofly1 Feb 27 @ 5:49 PM EST
    A10 Yes, and I think that I will also use this for days I am out of the classroom. #TTLA2
  • melissagold Feb 27 @ 5:49 PM EST
    Might flip in-class but not all 4th Gr Ss can access tech at home #ttla2
  • landersrn - Moderator Feb 27 @ 5:49 PM EST
    @ksofly1 Excellent tool for those situations! #TTLA2
    In reply to @ksofly1, @ksofly1
  • WMSreads Feb 27 @ 5:50 PM EST
    A10: Yes, this forced me out of my comfort zone and it wasn't a bad experience! #TTLA2
  • 4jmgriffin Feb 27 @ 5:50 PM EST
    A10 - Yes, I also like that my students can review the assignments/directions through the video as well. Tired of repeating myself! #TTLA2
  • Ms_Kottmann Feb 27 @ 5:50 PM EST
    @ksofly1 I like that idea! Use a flipped lesson when there is a sub! #TTLA2

    A10 Not appropriate for my level but enjoyed the experience. #TTLA2

    In reply to @landersrn

    I would put a link in Classroom, that way the students know exactly where to find it. #TTLA2 #Noexcuses that way!

    Q11-What are your thoughts on Flipped Classrooms? Pros/cons, likes/dislikes, etc…? #TTLA2
  • PennyHeisel Feb 27 @ 5:55 PM EST
    A11; Like them, but you have to keep the audience in mind.#TTLA2
  • Ms_Kottmann Feb 27 @ 5:55 PM EST
    Q11: Great idea, but they can be hard to manage at an elementary level. #TTLA2
  • coachcfly Feb 27 @ 5:55 PM EST
    A11 I'd like to know/see more about flipped classrooms and try it some myself b4 passing judgement. It seems like a worthy tool. #TTLA2
  • BrennanWHS Feb 27 @ 5:55 PM EST
    a11: it's another tool, like the chrome books and various methods of spanish instruction i've learned #TTLA2
    In reply to @landersrn
  • BrennanWHS Feb 27 @ 5:56 PM EST
    key is to not let one tool or idea take over how you teach, a balancing act #TTLA2
    In reply to @landersrn
  • ksofly1 Feb 27 @ 5:56 PM EST
    A11 In theory it's great. The internet reality is a challenge, but there is faux flipping! #TTLA2
  • WMSreads Feb 27 @ 5:56 PM EST
    A11: I'd like to see it in action personally. Haven't quite made up my mind yet. Can see it working well in some situations. #TTLA2
  • 4jmgriffin Feb 27 @ 5:56 PM EST
    A11 - Like the idea, don't see it working well in 4th when devices don't go home. Parents don't seem to care if work is done either! #TTLA2
