@edtechjam and how do we get Ts to make this change in the classroom ? This is a huge mind shift and pedagogy change. #edtechbridge

LindseyMSoto Sep 28 @ 7:42 PM EDT

@edtechjam I agree, I feel that each T has his or her favorite #edtech tools that work for them and their Ss #edtechbridge

@PledgeCents I'm going to print this out for some of the people I work with...maybe leave it in their mailboxes anonymously #EdTechBridge

edtechjam Sep 28 @ 7:43 PM EDT

A5 They're not mutually exclusive either! Hear lots of <3 for Remind, ClassDojo, etc. + content tools like Flocab or Newsela. #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Sep 28 @ 7:43 PM EDT

A5: continually amazed by the learning potential across the curriculum with #minecraft - used in any and every content area #edtechbridge

MI_CTN Sep 28 @ 7:43 PM EDT

A5: Blogs are great at communication. Sharing to the world is very empowering. #edtechbridge

PledgeCents Sep 28 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs We need to tap into Ss interests... and right now, the trend is tech. We should utilize #edtech whenever possible! #edtechbridge

maxalbs17 Sep 28 @ 7:43 PM EDT

A5. I would have to say communication is most impactful because it helps the entire class stay connected with each other. #edtechbridge

A5: Should be the ones that Ss enjoy using but also help them understand the content right? #edtechbridge

nathan_stevens Sep 28 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@katyamuses A5 the ones that lets students create #EdTechBridge

BlueAppaloosa Sep 28 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@PledgeCents @mr_isaacs gamification *can* be good. usually it's seen a quick-fix and is very poorly done. #edtechbridge

MI_CTN Sep 28 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@polonerd @edtechjam - ID the rock star risk taker teachers and have them model and share for others. #EdTechBridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Sep 28 @ 7:44 PM EDT

A5: the internet has had a pretty big impact on learning. Transformed us from memorization to application of knowledge #edtechbridge

edtechjam Sep 28 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@polonerd Totally agree—change is hard. Ss who are more excited about/engaged with learning thru tech could be a motivator. #edtechbridge

kispypniko Sep 28 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@PledgeCents @mr_isaacs IMHO it shouldn't be a part of a lesson, it should be the lesson #authenticlearning #authenticgames #EdTechBridge

nathan_stevens Sep 28 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@katyamuses A5 whatever @mr_isaacs 's answer is #EdTechBridge

polonerd Sep 28 @ 7:45 PM EDT

A5: We've been looking more at the data collection in @Schoology @socrative GForms etc - driving change in classrooms #edtechbridge

edtechjam Sep 28 @ 7:45 PM EDT

@MI_CTN @polonerd Yes, that too! Spreading the word from colleagues you trust is a big part for adoption, methinks. #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator Sep 28 @ 7:45 PM EDT

@T3achingWorst @PledgeCents you can put my name in it. I'll gladly take the fall for advocating for games in learning :) #edtechbridge

@polonerd @edtechjam What's up Scanlon?? #edtechbridge

BlueAppaloosa Sep 28 @ 7:45 PM EDT

@polonerd @edtechjam teachers need support and re-training. it's too much for most to be expected to learn on their own time. #edtechbridge

ShanaVWhite Sep 28 @ 7:45 PM EDT

A5: Communication is the key in any and all classrooms #edtechbridge

@mr_isaacs it's always nice to find the "missing piece" right when you need it. :) I try to set my students up for this. #edtechbridge

Great tools are the ones that allow students to connect to the content in a meaningful way. #edtechbridge

edtechjam Sep 28 @ 7:47 PM EDT

@BlueAppaloosa @polonerd Yup. Edtech should have small learning curve for Ts+Ss but company also should have support staff. #edtechbridge

Michael from Maryland, #blendedPD specialist, checking in late to #edtechbridge. Hello!

@mr_isaacs yes. this x 1000. I can't tell you how many *teachers* still don't get this. #edtechbridge

PledgeCents Sep 28 @ 7:47 PM EDT

@BlueAppaloosa @mr_isaacs Not all #edtech is created equally..:) but overall #gamification can be a great asset 2 a classroom. #edtechbridge

polonerd Sep 28 @ 7:47 PM EDT

@BlueAppaloosa @edtechjam Exactly! and Admin needs to allow Ts to take risks w/o fear #edtechbridge

katyamuses Sep 28 @ 7:48 PM EDT

@edtechjam Good point. Content and process tools can go hand in hand #edtechbridge

LindseyMSoto Sep 28 @ 7:48 PM EDT

@maxalbs17 communication is key and helps students be able to work with each other #edtechbridge

katyamuses Sep 28 @ 7:48 PM EDT

Q6. What will classrooms look like 5 years from now? 25 years from now? #edtechbridge https://t.co/dKPoqDd7Rg

BlueAppaloosa Sep 28 @ 7:48 PM EDT

@edtechjam @polonerd in addition, teachers need paid time to learn all this new stuff. teachers don't learn through osmosis. #edtechbridge

PBJellyGames Sep 28 @ 7:48 PM EDT

A5 the ones that closely reflect Ss desires, passions, way of Learning, yet support Ts Needs. IE: Minecraft #EdTechBridge

polonerd Sep 28 @ 7:48 PM EDT

@edtechjam @MI_CTN Getting them into other classrooms - whether it's physical or virtual would be a huge boost here #edtechbridge

mweinraub87 Sep 28 @ 7:49 PM EDT

I haven't gotten on board w/ #minecraft @mr_isaacs but more posts like this will push me there, for my kids and others. #EdTechBridge

katyamuses Sep 28 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A6. Tech will be more integrated and less pull out - no more go to comp lab, roll in laptop cart. Tech will be on hand always #edtechbridge

PBJellyGames Sep 28 @ 7:50 PM EDT

#EdTechBridge EdTech tools that don't account for Ss + Ts side of the coin don't reach the right level of use. IMHO https://t.co/WiORGiahiK

MI_CTN Sep 28 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@polonerd @edtechjam - It also empowers those teachers because they are being recognized as leaders. #EdTechBridge

BlueAppaloosa Sep 28 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A6 honestly? probably not much different. they haven't changed much in the last 100 years, why now? #edtechbridge

polonerd Sep 28 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@MI_CTN @edtechjam and even more powerful when you get that non-techie to share their success. "If I can do it, anyone can" #EdTechBridge

@nathan_stevens @mr_isaacs Good strategy. I should go to more twitter chats and just say 'whatever @mr_isaacs 's answer is' #edtechbridge

A6: Love this Q. More like the spaces adults inhabit by choice, like cafes actually: big tables, ample outlets, good light. #EdTechBridge

polonerd Sep 28 @ 7:53 PM EDT

@BlueAppaloosa They will change b/c of forums like this and connected educators sharing their successes. Ts will drive change #EdTechBridge

katyamuses Sep 28 @ 7:54 PM EDT

@mweinraub87 I was thinking along the same lines. Where do kids thrive outside school? How can we make school more like that? #edtechbridge

@BlueAppaloosa I understand, & more importantly understand why. Schools have a history of sucking at making positive change #EdTechBridge

mweinraub87 Sep 28 @ 7:56 PM EDT

I've got a bit of a fantasy, @katyamuses, that students can design and build - yes build - much of their workspaces in schools #EdTechBridge
