Docs and Slides are the easiest starters, I think. Similar enough to other tech we already know. #BSD7chat

AdrianAdvinMT - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:04 PM EST

A1: The basics - Drive, Calendar, Docs are great starters #bsd7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:05 PM EST

Funny, I forget about Drive, itself. Learning how to manage folders and storage is critical! #BSD7chat

In reply to @AdrianAdvinMT

AdrianAdvinMT - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:06 PM EST

It is a great organization tool. I don't know what I'd do without it! #bsd7chat

Hi #BSD7chat Sorry I’m late the little guy in my house does not want to go to sleep tonight! Nikki, LaMotte School 4/5

MrHagemeister Nov 30 @ 10:09 PM EST

A2 i Love slides. There's so much you can use them for! The ability to collaborate and create is awesome. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:10 PM EST

A2 b) My #2ndgrade kiddo made this, all on her own in GDrawings. https://t.co/ZoaW6G0XQB #BSD7chat

NVradenburg Nov 30 @ 10:10 PM EST

A1 I think Google Slides is a great stater. Especially for Ss. So many design options #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:10 PM EST

Yeah! Nikki's here! Hiya, friend. So glad you're able to squeeze this in! Was bummed to miss #MTedchat last night! #BSD7chat

In reply to @NVradenburg

AdrianAdvinMT - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:11 PM EST

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:11 PM EST

Yup. Love how Ts can scaffold/chunk info for Ss so easily. And great for collab projects. #BSD7chat

Time for Q3! #BSD7chat @AdrianAdvinMT @MrHagemeister

In reply to @AdrianAdvinMT, @MrHagemeister

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:12 PM EST

Agree. It's easy for Ss to move elements around, resize, think abt design + how to communic ideas clearly. #BSD7chat

In reply to @NVradenburg

NVradenburg Nov 30 @ 10:12 PM EST

A2 Slides is my go to for creating almost anything. The kids love collaborating on slide decks to show their learning. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:12 PM EST

A3: I want to do more with forms. I observed @rcarrMT use it with her Ss in a math modeling project & it was pretty powerful #bsd7chat

In reply to @rcarrMT

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:15 PM EST

A3 A recent project was turning a boring math/tech assessmt into a #HyperDoc slide deck. Here's part 1: https://t.co/0ETaOmsCR1 #BSD7chat

NVradenburg Nov 30 @ 10:16 PM EST

A3 Docs & slides to create #hyperdocs for Ss to explore and discover content at their own pace. My faves use @brainpop resources #BSD7chat

In reply to @brainpop

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:17 PM EST

Awesome. You can embed videos, have Ss answr Q, then another photo/vid, followed by Q. Many ways to use. #BSD7chat

In reply to @AdrianAdvinMT, @MrHagemeister

A3.2: I liked that Ss were deciding what questions to ask & how to ask it. @rcarrMT is inspiring! #bsd7chat

In reply to @rcarrMT

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:18 PM EST

A3 b) I want to explore My Maps more. And do more #mysteryhangouts. And continue w Blogger! #BSD7chat

NVradenburg Nov 30 @ 10:18 PM EST

I talked the staff in to my school into doing a Mystery Skype-thon the last week before break! So excited! #BSD7chat

Can't wait to see some @brainpop embedded in a #hyperdoc! Make sure to share w your PLN! :))) #BSD7chat

In reply to @NVradenburg, @brainpop

MrHagemeister Nov 30 @ 10:20 PM EST

A2 allowing students choice and the chance to create allows Ss to use GSuite tools beyond what Ts can imagine #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:20 PM EST

She IS!! And to think that 2 mos ago those Ss didn't know what a survey was! Right, RC?! #BSD7chat

NVradenburg Nov 30 @ 10:20 PM EST

A4 Ss are editing essays on Google Docs using comments tool, creating slide decks to keep track of research for group project #BSD7chat

AdrianAdvinMT - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:20 PM EST

A4: You said it earlier @rachelmarker - the power of the share button is game changer! That & commenting is great for Ss & Ts #bsd7chat

Absolutely! That last week is a great week for “out of the box” activities! #BSD7chat

In reply to @AdrianAdvinMT

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:22 PM EST

A4 Ss need time learning how to critique + share positive feedback. The 'comment' feature in #gsuiteedu apps is powerful. #BSD7chat

rachelmarker - Moderator Nov 30 @ 10:23 PM EST

Yes! That said, I think we need to explicitly teach Ss HOW to use effectively. Start w Post-its, then move to tech. #BSD7chat

Great point that we can't let our limitations limit our Ss. Sometimes we just need to get out of their way! #BSD7chat
