Q1 #FLedChat

MrLeonard8 Dec 7 @ 8:08 PM EST

Absolutely! That's not easy though #Fledchat

futchd Dec 7 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1: @MrLeonard8 Somehow we have to communicate the value of the tool.
In reply to @MrLeonard8

kmhmartin Dec 7 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1. Start where you are--your building. Find ways to get reluctant Ts to use Twitter in small, creative ways. A Tweet a day... #FLedChat

#FLedChat Many here in Texas are not Twitter either, Edcamps, conferences, PD even Voxer great way to collaborate.

In reply to @MrLeonard8

Is Twitter absolutely necessary to connect educators across the state? #Fledchat

BrookinsBits Dec 7 @ 8:09 PM EST

u still have him! Cool! #fledchat

In reply to @TG_Neil

TG_Neil - Moderator Dec 7 @ 8:09 PM EST

Nope. It is but one tool. #FLedChat

A1B: We had our first North Florida EdTech Meet-Up last year, and are organizing another one this year. #FLedChat

MrLeonard8 Dec 7 @ 8:14 PM EST

completely agree, almost like evangelizing about how being connected can impact their instruction! #Fledchat

In reply to @TG_Neil

dene_gainey - Moderator Dec 7 @ 8:14 PM EST

Yes Zac. I see it like plugging into an electrical outlet. As long as we are plugged in we are "empowered" #FLedChat

One thing I want to make clear, @fstenet, #FLedchat, or I are suggesting that being "disconnected" makes one a bad teacher.

In reply to @fstenet

dayankee Dec 7 @ 8:16 PM EST

dkonopelko - Moderator Dec 7 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2: dragging friends/colleagues to edcamps is usually a great way to spread the word... once you bring them, they get it #FLedChat
