    Evening @jbormann3 and @MegFrideres - I keep referring back to all I learned when reading #ProDriven - it is fabulous. Meredith joining from SW Florida

  • DanKos3 Sep 25 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    It was so bad we have basically outlawed cell phones. Now they act like they used to, trying to hide it. In 3 weeks I’ve seen slightly better attention but they are finding games on their chrome books. Unless an activity requires it, they are closed. #ProDriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:06 PM EDT

    A1. Attention span - engagement? Depends on the activity #ProDriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:07 PM EDT
    Outlawed, huh? That sounds like it was hitting an extreme. The whole country of France has banned them from schools even. Welcome back to the chat, Dan. #ProDriven
    In reply to @DanKos3
  • DanKos3 Sep 25 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    That was one of the reasons we went that way. I should say there is teacher discretion. I just had my anatomy students take pictures of slides through a microscope. #ProDriven

    A1: I will say I have even seen this with adult learners. In PD’s we often say, “Be professional” or “Be present.” But we see the social medias, box scores, and emails open. I just say, “Evidently what I am providing is not cognitively engaging them. That’s on me. #ProDriven
  • tracyscottkelly Sep 25 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1. Not just the students, I know the difference and I still find myself tuning out. I do not want to teach a boring lesson, they definitely don't want to sit through one. #ProDriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: Is the learning I’m facilitating providing this for my learners? If not, they will find another way to cognitively engage themselves. #ProDriven
  • JulieGB7 Sep 25 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: Our Ss are used to a faster pace. "Can't teach wifi Ss by using dial-up." We have to stay innovative & work to keep things as varied, engaging, & exciting for our Ss. Make each lesson an experience. #prodriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:14 PM EDT

  • DanKos3 Sep 25 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A1b. I get the engaging factor in all of this but at some point the Ss do need to understand not everything they encounter in life will be engaging and entertaining. They do need to learn to be productive with activities they don’t find fun. I’m thinking staff meetings #ProDriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    Let me know how I can help :) #ProDriven
    In reply to @JulieGB7, @mjjohnson1216, @MegFrideres
  • JulieGB7 Sep 25 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2: I'm finding that lots of the behaviors we're seeing are anxiety based. It's important to understand the function of the behavior but also to understand the circumstances behind it and know there's always more to everyone's story. #prodriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    I’m sure @AHholst can provide even more statistics for this question. #ProDriven

    When creating the rough draft of the chat questions for Sunday evening's #BookCampPD I used aspects from the book. Ideas I learned when reading it toss around in my head all of the time. It certainly left an impression. #ProDriven
    In reply to @jbormann3, @JulieGB7, @MegFrideres
  • DanKos3 Sep 25 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    They are open about it but I think many mistake anxiety with the results of procrastination. When Ss tell me about it, most have anxiety because they put things off until the last minute. Others are genuine about their anxiety because they can’t hide it. #ProDriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    In my parental learning journey I’m learning that self-regulation is a the key executive function that is necessary for independence. Working with my 6-year-old. Have you heard of the marshmallow test? #ProDriven
    In reply to @DanKos3
  • icoachleff Sep 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2: There is a lot of anxiety. Students need some direct instruction on how to turn things off. I think we are transitioning from needing to teach students HOW to use teach... to HOW TO TAKE A BREAK from tech. #prodriven
  • MegFrideres - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    We as adults struggle with focus. Mindfulness has helped me be more fully present to my students during class and my colleagues during meetings. #ProDriven
  • DanKos3 Sep 25 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    I have. Never tried it out. Have you? Effective? #ProDriven
    In reply to @jbormann3
  • jbretzmann Sep 25 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A2: This is a topic similar to one I was talking with @MHSIrvine about this afternoon. It's about teaching students mind-frames and strategies to cope with and/or combat those anxieties. #prodriven
    In reply to @MegFrideres, @MHSIrvine
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    I can definitely see your point, Dan. I am working to combat my own procrastination tendencies. #ProDriven
    In reply to @DanKos3
  • MegFrideres - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    Tim I absolutely agree. They must learn how to do this, they are not born with this ability. #ProDriven

    I do my best to practice this when listening to educators through coaching. “The greatest compliment you can give anyone is to let them know that you listened.” #ProDriven

    Ironically, that was the title of my TEDTalk for my Teen Leadership class! #ProDriven

    It allows you to forget the minor bad things (even major bad things) a student might do so they get a fresh start on learning and interaction with you. #ProDriven

    Twitter as a PLN is amazing!!! How often do teachers get to make real connections with real international leaders in education? Our classrooms, schools, and teacher lounges MUST be bigger than four walls! #team512 #SMSDrightnow #prodriven

    Disconnect with purpose too - how to pick a good time, place and make it productive. This isn't something that comes naturally anymore :) #prodriven

  • JulieGB7 Sep 25 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    A3: I find it useful and helpful during times of heightened stress. It helps to regroup & self care, so we can be more present for our Ss. #ProDriven
  • mjjohnson1216 Sep 25 @ 9:24 PM EDT
    A3. Not sure I could leave out making judgments .... maybe I don't understand the question ... #ProDriven
  • MegFrideres - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:25 PM EDT
    I like to think of it as giving ourself grace. It is normal for our minds to race but we don't need to judge ourselves. We just need to try to stay present to the moment. #ProDriven

    Here comes our next question. Love hearing your ideas! #ProDriven
  • PreK33 Sep 25 @ 9:27 PM EDT
    A2: My "Littles"are exposed to so much more than they were when I first started teaching 34 years ago. Just today, I had a little girl talking about Penny Wise form "It." and a little boy telling me about playing "Call of Duty." What?!?!? #ProDriven

  • tracyscottkelly Sep 25 @ 9:28 PM EDT
    A3. If we are mindfulness, we recognize and approach each child and situation on its own merit. This is how I can be better. #ProDriven

    Since getting this planner to more effectively plan and prioritize tasks, I have kept my mind from racing at night with “all the things I have to do” which is translating to better sleep. And I would like to think a more present mind :) https://t.co/o0oTU3zpcD #ProDriven

    Enjoying the #ProDriven chat so far. You…yes, YOU could lead a future. We even have resources to help :) So what are you waiting for? Get in touch with me, @MegFrideres or @MrsStephenson3 if you’re interested.

    IA4: honestly can’t think of a better way to empower myself than to learn to be aware of myself and control my emotions. If I can do it for myself, I can help other learners do them same in their learning process. #ProDriven
  • tracyscottkelly Sep 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    A2. Most of my student's are very low socioeconomicly, broken homes, lack of food, etc. as long as I recognize this and approach it with mindfulness, I can help them. So yes, I can totally understand that quote. #ProDriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:31 PM EDT
    WOAH!!!!!! That is difficult to deal with. #ProDriven

    A4: I imagine this would also help me to approach every learner with an empathetic approach to assume the best of them, not the worst. #ProDriven
  • JulieGB7 Sep 25 @ 9:34 PM EDT
    A4: Many Ss w/ hallenging situations outside of school or who experience ACE's often lack EF & coping skills. It's important we teach these skills & give them coping strategies they can use for a lifetime. This way they're empowered to learn & achieve throughout life. #prodriven
  • jbormann3 - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:35 PM EDT
    I’m going to confess, I actually really like the Breath app on my Apple Watch. I don’t I ever took relaxing breathes before getting the watch. #ProDriven

  • jbormann3 - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:39 PM EDT
    I really think some mindfulness techniques prior to a meeting would really help. Or even a break for one. I honestly think @TeshaAnneRuley would consider that. #ProDriven

    A1) Ss are used 2 having everything answered, solved immediately and they need opportunities that they can't wait 2 sink their teeth into. This is not feasible everyday so I have 2 make an effort to keep them moving & involved. Teaching is > content but life skills #ProDriven
  • MegFrideres - Moderator Sep 25 @ 9:51 PM EDT
    One hurdle was other educators seeing the validity in mindfulness practices. However, after leading a PD session at the beginning of the school year where I shared history and neuroscience behind mindfulness I have been invited into several rooms. Yeah! #ProDriven

    A2) Ss are crippled with trauma and anxiety. They are exposed to mature content but are not equipped to comprehend. It's crucial that we allow them opportunities (at all ages) to be kids. #ProDriven

      A2) Ss are crippled with trauma and anxiety. They are exposed to mature content but are not equipped to comprehend. It's crucial that we allow them opportunities (at all ages) to be kids. #ProDriven
