A1: 1:1 iPad has created possibilities for me and Ss. Connectedness can take us places, explore, share, create in awesome ways #EdchatME

T_HEB Jan 23 @ 8:36 PM EST

A1 #edtech allows us to make lrng transparent. Ss & Ts can document learning, Ps can witness growth. Also can better meet S needs. #EdChatME

brholland Jan 23 @ 8:36 PM EST

A1. Been wrestling with idea of does tech cause change or is tech the change in itself? What's really changing in classrooms? #edchatme

MisterCMaine - Moderator Jan 23 @ 8:36 PM EST

A1: So many ways... but #1, building my PLN has literally changed me. You guys push my thinking & transformed my teaching style. #EdChatME

Great Q @brholland! I think #edtech provides Ts & Ss a new way to view/access/experience the work in school. Ts redefine practice. #EdChatME

In reply to @brholland

Etothestep1 Jan 23 @ 8:38 PM EST

#EdChatMe Sometimes we let the tech drive the change. We should let learning needs drive change and find the tech to support it.

MiaLMorrison Jan 23 @ 8:38 PM EST

A1 Tech has allowed our rural learners to reach beyond our walls, town and state boundaries #Edchatme

A1 Tech lets me automate the tedious & time consuming & focus more on teaching and learning #GoogleClassroom #doctopus #goobrics #edchatME

To summarize A1 so far, tech supports transparency, connection, differentiation, and demonstration of learning. #edchatme

MisterCMaine - Moderator Jan 23 @ 8:39 PM EST

A1 (cont.) - Accessibility! I love how tech gives all Ss a voice & each can use powerful tools to capture, document, and share. #EdChatME

A2: I am not sure how much tech has spark change as a whole. I see it in some rooms, but more lower SAMR. Need more talk. #edchatme

brholland Jan 23 @ 8:44 PM EST

More talk about??? #EdChatME

In reply to @MsMeservey

terSonya Jan 23 @ 8:44 PM EST

A2 I would love to say that it is elevating the role of teachers but not there yet. Def sparking discussion about pedagogy #EdChatME

T_HEB Jan 23 @ 8:44 PM EST

A2 An important change is that Ts are more willing to "let go." With tools to document lrng Ss have more options, more voice. #EdChatME

terSonya Jan 23 @ 8:46 PM EST

A2 We are having discussions re integration v implementation. What is driving the use of tech? Pedagogy or Purchasing? #EdChatME

Etothestep1 Jan 23 @ 8:46 PM EST

#EdChatMe A2: Tech has opened the doors to certain learners who thought they'd never succeed, and caused Ts to believe they can reach all Ss

briley8557 Jan 23 @ 8:46 PM EST

#EdChatME We are only touching the surface with tech. VR & AR, 3D printing. What happens when Ss can create their learning choices?

jbailey8 Jan 23 @ 8:47 PM EST

a2 It's growing but has not sparked a school wide change. Too low on the SAMR scale. Typing, slideshows and research uggg. #edchatME

WickedDecent Jan 23 @ 8:47 PM EST

A2 it's been interesting to watch #1to1edtechat culture evolve; some Ts still hellbent against, others game on, others in btw #edchatme
