Join the conversation to meet and learn from teachers all across the world using Buncee in their classroom. #Bunceechat will be held from 8:00 PM – 8:45 PM EST on the first Thursday of each month. Each chat, we’ll have a guest moderator open up a discussion with the community and share questions on the week’s topic.
I'm Mike Drezek, District Tech Integrator/TOSA for @LakeShoreCSD. This is my 14th year teaching and I'm always learning so many new things thanks to folks like you at #BunceeChat. Here is my @Buncee card: https://t.co/k5rllGmvxQ
Hi everyone! Ide from Westerly, RI. Grades 5, 6 and 8 World Language Teacher. Best part of my day today was showing my favorite documentary in 5th grade World Cultures class "On The Way To School". If you have never seen it, check it out! Puts things in perspective! #BunceeChat
Hi everyone over at #Bunceechat! I'm over at #globaledchat talking about peace and justice. It's a pretty easy topic, so if we wrap it up early, we'll head over and join you - ha! :)
Q1 #BunceeChat The key to finish strong is to make sure you start strong. What advice would you give to start the last final months of school with the same energy as the first ones? How might @Buncee help?
A1 At this time of year, with so much pulling at students' attention, maintaining engagement is key! Throw an aspect of creation into students' work to keep them going. https://t.co/7gnW52sibN. #BunceeChat
A1 Around here the weather is getting warmer. This is a perfect chance to take the lesson outside! Movement and fresh air make a great combo for learning. Take some images or video of real world examples that connect to your lesson and create a @Buncee around this. #BunceeChat

A1: Keep the kids motivated! Plan exciting, student centered activities. Give them the space to create. Since our @Buncee visit last week it's what's keeping teachers sane & kids engaged. #bunceechat
A1: I love end of the year culminating events like fairs, performances, or graduations to motivate for a final push-also we’re essentially a 12 month year, so... #BunceeChat
Shannon is here! Woo-hoo. Look forward to following all the action at #ssl2018 over the next couple days! Make sure you say hello to @SusanWalterich for me! #BunceeChat

There is something special about the feeling the Spring brings in the schoolhouse. I think around here, the weather definitely plays a part. We're done with the ice and snow. #bunceechat
We spent some time today creating planets for #MayThe4thBeWithYou Let's just say, middle school kids have the WEIRDEST imagination EVA!!! Crackin' me up! #bunceechat
Q2 #BunceeChat Students will always be curious about the upcoming school year. This can bring some fears but also great excitement. In what ways could @Buncee help prepare students for what lies ahead?
Nothing like discovering a new tool and feeling like you've been missing out on something awesome. I saw folks @CanConnectEd getting introduced to @Buncee for the first time at the booth. I was excited for them! #bunceechat
A1: I'm a huge fan of having students look back at their work, throughout the year, to reflect on the learning. @Buncee can be like the ultimate time capsule. #BunceeChat

A2 Have your students make a Buncee Guide to your classroom for next year's incoming students - you can clip and stitch them together for next fall. This helps your students to have closure, and also reminds them that they've been through this all before! #BunceeChat
A2: students can create a Buncee for their future selves in their Buncee account. This Buncee can contain some motivation as well as some tips to keep calm. As the summer goes on they can add some great summer memories like a journal in order to lighten the nerves #BunceeChat
A2 Since @Buncee provides a great platform for creation & sharing #studentvoice, Ss could write a welcome letter in Buncee to a #BunceeBuddy who will be in their seat next school year. They could even add a nice video message. Share the awesome along with some advice! #BunceeChat
A2: I have students create I wish presentations to explore what they wish to experience and become in the new year and what efforts they will take to make it happen #BunceeChat
I see Bryan caught the bus! Woot woot! Take the wheel buddy, I shouldn't be tweeting and driving this thing. Well, since it's a virtual bus, what the heck! #BunceeChat

Love this, Sean! #IWish is like a spin on #WhatIf and it adds more curiosity to the day. Thanks for providing the spark that students absolutely need today. #BunceeChat

Q3 #BunceeChat It is always possible that the "Summer Slide" hits early as the "Spring Slide!" How can @Buncee make sure students are springing forward and sliding towards success and learning?
#BunceeChat is only 1 day away! Join guest host @m_drez on twitter as he leads a conversation about using Buncee to finish the school year strong!Get ready for May 3rd at 8 PM EDT by checking out the questions here!
There is benefit to it where it prevents regression. My students are all in special education, so it’s essential that we maintain the consistency. #bunceechat
Yes, I LOVE this idea! I did a lot of this since I was in a K-12 school....And it is also good for parents of kids too. @Buncee would be the perfect tool to share these things. :) #bunceechat

A3 Spring in schools brings about testing. We have Grade 3-8 Math/ELA & Grade 9-12 Regents. @Buncee can allow students to show what they know with a blast of creativity and fun. Go beyond the test prep and encourage Ss to create, collaborate and share their learning. #BunceeChat
A3: Again, my school is year round, so this is hypothetical-but I’ve liked when the new teacher assigns some creative readiness tasks like students planning out challenge projects for the upcoming year #bunceechat
😊 Unfortunately, we only have until 9:00AM tomorrow. Our Ss have a Spring Fling Performance beginning at 9:00AM followed by an Art Show, then they are dismissed. It will be an extremely short day for us. #BunceeChat

A3 This is an awesome topic and way to use @Buncee In fact, we have a brand new Buncee webinar coming up soon on how to use Buncee throughout the summer! :) #bunceechat
A4 Have Ss create #Buncee reflecting on their favorite parts of the year. Could clip and stitch them together as a memory book for the year. #BunceeChat
A3 In 8th gr French I start to see my Ss "check out" as soon as HS guidance teachers come to do their schedules at beginning of March. It is SO tough to keep them focused and motivated. This year I have tried something new. My units are now Buncee HyperDocs. WIN! #bunceechat
A4 Buncee's easy multimedia tools make it a snap for students to share what went well this year, and what they'd like to accomplish next year. The ability to work in pics, text, audio, and video means that everyone has the ability to share their ideas! #BunceeChat
Strange, when I do the same search I see them! #BunceeChat mystery. Someone is stealing the Qs. Is there an evil Buncee Boy out there somewhere looking to mess with me :)
A4 I love these Qs from @glodigcit: https://t.co/h5feoQfNJM. Reflecting on these helps Ss discover their why. It helps Ts build relationships with Ss. Ss could create their own @Buncee board and add their reflections. #BunceeChat
A4 This just inspired me to have them create mini infographics through @Buncee to cover the things they’ve learned and scale how well they feel they mastered it #BunceeChat
A4 We've already been reflecting during our Morning Meetings. Would love to use #Buncee to create the visual memory for our amazing year. Would certainly be a wonderful keepsake. Could be shared with next year's Ss for a sneak peek into what is in store for them. #BunceeChat

A4 For next year I plan to use @Buncee as a tool to track my Ss proficiency growth all year in speaking and writing in French. I am hoping that this will be a creative way to keep them engaged in tracking their learning and growth, & help them prep for French 2 in HS #bunceechat
A5: Using the great idea from @jmattmiller where students “dump” all they’ve learned-could be mind mapping, notes, whatever. I choose @Buncee. Love seeing them show all they’ve learned each unit in a creative way with a focused desgin. #BunceeChat
A4 We do have Buncee Reflections on specific activities like Math. They've created many Reflections in the way of #Gratitudesnaps and on #Growthmindset and character education #BunceeChat
I recently printed a book for kinders. Added a QR code to the cover so they could share their animations and audio recordings with parents. Perfect keepsake! #BunceeChat

A5 Send students away for the summer with the right mindset by having them create a statement of their goals for the next year! https://t.co/tUv0XIE2aj#BunceeChat
YES! I might need to sit with someone over the summer to talk myself through the process and plan it properly...any @Buncee volunteers?? In return I can offer food and drink by the beach or pool!!!

A5 internally at @Buncee we do this all of the time at our holiday party. We all create our own Buncee with goals that we have accomplished and then set goals within the same Buncee. It is a ton of fun to see what we have accomplished and to see where we can go! #BunceeChat
A5 Making goals visible increases accountability. A shared @Buncee Board could help put goals out in the open. It could also boost a sense of team for added support. I also love the ability to use check mark stickers/animations for tracking progress. #BunceeChat
I want my students to record favorite activities for the year, favorite memories, favorite field trips, etc. for ours. Just a collection of favorites for the year via @Buncee. #BunceeChat
A5 I like them to create Buncee Vision boards of things they would like to learn about, things they wonder about and things they are looking forward too 😀 #BunceeChat
A5: we are using it as a data binder next year (personal learning portfolio). Students track their data and get to add in cool animations with their data. Track from beginning to end of year for reading level, math lessons, readin challenge, and everything. #BunceeChat@Buncee

A5 I envision @buncee as being a forum for a "visual" way of setting goals and "To-Do" lists. I make myself a PD "To-Do" for each summer. Why not use Buncee to do the same with our Ss for the next year?? They might be more engaged to follow through... #bunceechat
Yes, using #BunceeBoards for the reason of tracking and leaving comments is one of my favorite things about them. A great way of making goals known and visible for sure. #BunceeChat
On the next Buncee chat, guest host @m_drez will lead a conversation about how to use Buncee to finish the school year strong. Join us May 3rd at 8PM EDT to share ideas about the finish to a great school year! #BunceeChat
Q6 #BunceeChat You've made it this far! In what creative ways might you use @Buncee to recognize accomplishments and celebrate all the good that has taken place to this point?
