choosito Aug 3 @ 10:04 PM EDT

@BobbyClubbs Thanks. I would love to teach gardening and exploring nature. #weirded

Q1 Are you familiar with Papert's work? If so, how has it impacted your approach to teaching & learning with #edtech? #WeirdEd

A1. Not very, but I'm excited to be introduced to another #EduHero #weirded

MsLafferty Aug 3 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Anne from the Sierra Nevada mountains. Godmother of forgetting where I just put that thing. #weirded

oJaison Aug 3 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1: Nope. Don't remember hearing his name before tonight. #WeirdEd

ohsoearly Aug 3 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1 not as familiar with Papert - only heard of him a year ago #iste2015 #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Aug 3 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@ohsoearly yes community gifs are back #weirded

BobbyClubbs Aug 3 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@MagicPantsJones Love that. Stealing that. #WeirdEd

MagicPantsJones Aug 3 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1 Only briefly, but I was amazed at his precscience - recognizing the danger of using computers as worksheet machines in 60s/70s. #WeirdEd

mrburkemath Aug 3 @ 10:12 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1 No, I hadn't. Yes, we probably do My Edtech comes from PD and 15 yrs as a computer programmer I've tried to work it in

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Aug 3 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@oJaison #WeirdEd Do you think you should have? Bc I hadn't known who he was before he died either.

MissShuganah Aug 3 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1 Sadly never heard of Papert. There's a lot of educators who seem to be under the radar. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Aug 3 @ 10:12 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1 Somewhat. @Trianglemancsd assigned us his book in his EdTech class,but man, it was like I was reading a book from 2015

MagicPantsJones Aug 3 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@BobbyClubbs Cheers! I've never met someone who had so many B's without a hive! #WeirdEd

oJaison Aug 3 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1: I think it's important to have a historical understanding of #edtech. Helps expand our notions of what's included in the term. #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Aug 3 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@MagicPantsJones #WeirdEd I know, right! I'm using those quotes when school starts again with my staff.

BobbyClubbs Aug 3 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1. This is my first time being exposed to him. But my son LOVES Scratch and it inspires him to create. #WeirdEd https://t.co/Nm3PccDjGe

jenfromri - Moderator Aug 3 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1: Papert had a big effect on me (see gushy blog post). Idk if it's the sense of history that matters, though. 1/2 #weirded

oolalume Aug 3 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1 Not familiar w Papert. Not familiar w lots a ed stuff bc wasnt my focus, even tho was in K-12 LIS cert program #weirdEd wish I were tho

MissShuganah Aug 3 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1 Yes we need to have that history. In a lot of academic categories. Not just education. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Aug 3 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@MagicPantsJones #WeirdEd Ikr? I didnt realize it until I volunteered in a flipped classroom. That was what he was talking about!

msmusiced Aug 3 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1: I am not familiar with his work, I am here to learn more about it. Zoey knows nothing #WeirdEd https://t.co/NNC41fnU6r

jenfromri - Moderator Aug 3 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A1 cont'd: When you find a book or whatever that you really resonate with, that's what matters. #weirded

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Aug 3 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@BobbyClubbs #WeirdEd This is like the archaeology of music, but with school. He is great and he's inspired by this which was from that...

ohsoearly Aug 3 @ 10:14 PM EDT

was told I was lame for not knowing Papert -so I spent the last year dedicating my life to...well I failed #WeirdEd https://t.co/1g1dV5tQFT

nathan_stevens Aug 3 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher A1 in preparation for this chat, I gave myself papert cuts #weirded but I love his thoughts

shadow_uzumaki Aug 3 @ 10:14 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A1 although, honestly, I could not read most of the book, felt it was too technical.

BobbyClubbs Aug 3 @ 10:14 PM EDT

@jenfromri Loved your post. Thanks for the introduction. #WeirdEd

choosito Aug 3 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1 A few days of research does not mean familiarity. Wish I could say constructionism was part of my voca b4 that. But now inspired #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Aug 3 @ 10:19 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A2 Lack of understanding from policy makers, unwillingness to understand HOW to use EdTech w/o being gimmicky

nathan_stevens Aug 3 @ 10:20 PM EDT

A2 I think fundamentally a lack of trust that given tools, Ss will put in the work to learn w/o T-directed assignments #weirded

ohsoearly Aug 3 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A2 it's like when I tweet prophetically but no one is following -and education is slow to change #WeirdEd

NoApp4Pedagogy - Moderator Aug 3 @ 10:21 PM EDT

@shadow_uzumaki agreed, but it's over 35 years. How much longer can this go on? #weirded

MissShuganah Aug 3 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A2 Thinking outside the box is an overused expression, but we do what we are used to. #weirded

@NoApp4Pedagogy he look even in 1980 people bought that clunky steelcase furniture #WeirdEd

oolalume Aug 3 @ 10:22 PM EDT

MissShuganah Aug 3 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A2 Educators are conformists just like the rest of the population. #weirded

msmusiced Aug 3 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A2: TS are unwilling to learn new tech or accept it. Some try harder to resist then accept. #WeirdEd

jenfromri - Moderator Aug 3 @ 10:22 PM EDT

@tkraz This is a big barrier, especially when tech feels like it's moving too fast for PD to keep up. #weirded

shadow_uzumaki Aug 3 @ 10:23 PM EDT

@NoApp4Pedagogy Well,considering how ppl in charge of policies continue to be non-Educators.. That needs to change #WeirdEd

A2 Change tends to take time because most people move cautiously. #weirded

nathan_stevens Aug 3 @ 10:23 PM EDT

nathan_stevens Aug 3 @ 10:23 PM EDT

@korytellers @mrburkemath Olive Garden? #WeirdEd

MagicPantsJones Aug 3 @ 10:23 PM EDT

@jenfromri It's the worst, right? #WeirdEd

NoApp4Pedagogy - Moderator Aug 3 @ 10:23 PM EDT

I think what we're missing is that #edtech has changed while #pedagogy, instruction, etc. has stayed same #weirded https://t.co/xNzfFtFvRL

tkraz Aug 3 @ 10:23 PM EDT

@jenfromri Tech is moving fast but not always in the education direction. #weirded

mrburkemath Aug 3 @ 10:24 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A2 I see this with graphing calculators We use them to make the calculators easier but still cover the same curriculum same way

msadecker Aug 3 @ 10:24 PM EDT

Fear of Change is the biggest factor I feel #weirded

choosito Aug 3 @ 10:24 PM EDT

A2Adding tech & just that doesn't anything to change the lrng process. Finding ways to use tech to make meaningful creation is key #WeirdEd

nathan_stevens Aug 3 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@NoApp4Pedagogy a2 also schools are picking a lot of consumer grade tech which turns out to be limited #WeirdEd

TheWeirdTeacher - Moderator Aug 3 @ 10:24 PM EDT

#WeirdEd A2.2 Not with guilt or shame or fear, those don't last or motivate properly. With support.

mrterborg Aug 3 @ 10:24 PM EDT

@TeacherWithTuba @TheWeirdTeacher It's easier to go with what we know than risk the fear of change, failure #weirded

@NoApp4Pedagogy So true! When I meet w/Ts I ask them what is the end purpose. Backwards map to find which technologies to embed. #WeirdEd

There's the time factor, too. Gotta be proficient to be creative & effective. Proficiency takes time to develop #weirded

@oJaison can you expand on this thought? Twitter, blogging, yoututbe all seem like good vehicles, no? #weirded

SarahMJoncas Aug 3 @ 10:25 PM EDT

@TheWeirdTeacher yes and "programs" and "e-curriculums" trying to make people jump in a user friendly way are inadequate #WeirdEd

oJaison Aug 3 @ 10:26 PM EDT

But if it's not facilitating widespread change can we say that the #edtech created is adequate? @NoApp4Pedagogy #WeirdEd

MissShuganah Aug 3 @ 10:26 PM EDT

#Weirded Many simply do not have innovative minds. Or give themselves permission to be innovative.

MrsDubuque Aug 3 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A2) we Ts get so excited about tech for our class that we treat admin dropping off iPads like the icecream man. That's not enough🍦#WeirdEd

jenfromri - Moderator Aug 3 @ 10:26 PM EDT

@tkraz Yes- implementation in schools is slow & sometimes clunky. Can PD help address this? Or do Ts need to go it alone at first? #weirded
