Twitter in EDU & being a connected educator has definitely made me a better teacher, colleague, & instructional coach. #MDUSDchat #TOSAchat

  A2: Have sent home several notes showing what parents are missing by not being on Twitter. Have almost half my class following me now.

Megan_Gerdts Mar 22 @ 11:50 PM EDT

A2 Website for families, Twitter, Remind, blog and have been working with Ts in Seesaw... love it and @TeacherCatt is a master! #MDUSDChat

MsNakashima7 Mar 22 @ 11:50 PM EDT

@coacheagan Oh totally forgot @RemindHQ in my tweet! 1 of my essential tools in my toolbox! Scheduling msgs are awesome! #MDUSDChat

SEANJFAHEY Mar 22 @ 11:50 PM EDT

Agree Aaron... I still have to send out printed newsletters for some families #MDUSDchat https://t.co/OiijcGWUCe

@MsNakashima7 @ClassDojo @Seesaw @twitter @Shutterfly How could I forget Google sites! Love using websites to communicate w/ Ps! #MDUSDChat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Mar 22 @ 11:50 PM EDT

@mandi_smithml Mine started to, but she didn't get everyone to sign up, so she emails now instead. :( #mdusdchat

MsNakashima7 Mar 22 @ 11:50 PM EDT

@LeeAraoz @SmorePages Google Classroom is AWESOME! #MDUSDChat

LnChase81 Mar 22 @ 11:50 PM EDT

A3 Tough one! Depneds on how it is used. Many of our elementaries are using @Seesaw which is a great way to involve parents! #MDUSDchat

ajyoung53 Mar 22 @ 11:51 PM EDT

@mcsherrym that's a good idea I should try that again I don't think I have any parents following #MDUSDChat

LeeAraoz Mar 22 @ 11:51 PM EDT

@MsNakashima7 @SmorePages I LOVE it!! #MDUSDChat

SEANJFAHEY Mar 22 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A3 none! But age definitely determines what you are able to do with it #MDUSDChat

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 22 @ 11:51 PM EDT

@LnChase81 @CanvasLMS I don't know anything about Canvas but keep hearing about it. Do you like it? #MDUSDChat

@LeeAraoz Ahhhhhh Lee is here too!!! Seriously this is the COOLEST #MDUSDChat yet!

ohsoearly Mar 22 @ 11:52 PM EDT

#MDUSDChat depends on definition of social media - if kids use tech to collaborate there can be chances to start practicing comm online

anntirrell Mar 22 @ 11:52 PM EDT

#mdusdchat I like the program Wixie for younger students, high quality, creative, safe and parent connected https://t.co/CdheKPrdh7

ajyoung53 Mar 22 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@MrsWard3 @Seesaw no I haven't yet You'll have to show me all the cool tricks! I'm trying it now so I can launch early next year #MDUSDChat

MrsWard3 - Moderator Mar 22 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@mcsherrym I need to do that! I send home reminders, but a "what you are missing" post would be much better! #MDUSDChat

LnChase81 Mar 22 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura Absolutely! Embeds nearly everything, videos, files, quizzes, communication. All in one, total package! @CanvasLMS #MDUSDchat

ShayKornfeld Mar 22 @ 11:52 PM EDT

A3 If students could start using SM for educational purposes early on, we would have less cat videos and pictures of salads #MDUSDChat

LeeAraoz Mar 22 @ 11:52 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura Oh YEAH!! #MDUSDChat

suz_hatch Mar 22 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@ShayKornfeld A3: The younger we teach our Ss about the internet the better. We need to continue to teach them at every age. #MDUSDChat

LnChase81 Mar 22 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura @CanvasLMS I'm happy to help if you have any questions! #MDUSDChat

ShayKornfeld Mar 22 @ 11:53 PM EDT

ajyoung53 Mar 22 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@MsNakashima7 @coacheagan @RemindHQ I love the schedule feature! #mdusdchat

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 22 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@ohsoearly Very true. It doesn't have to be scary. We can have a class Twitter acct in kinder. Kids can help w/ ideas for tweets. #MDUSDChat

SEANJFAHEY Mar 22 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@KarlyMoura I believe it will end up replacing my agenda book next year. Teach Ss to have a todo list & its shared w/ T,S,&P #MDUSDChat

mrkhoney Mar 22 @ 11:53 PM EDT

@coacheagan The teaching of responsibility and appropriate usage is they key #MDUSDChat

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 22 @ 11:54 PM EDT

@LnChase81 @CanvasLMS Awesome! Thank you =) #MDUSDChat

ShayKornfeld Mar 22 @ 11:54 PM EDT

Absolutely. We do not want them finding out about it on their own…that has never worked well for anything #mdusdchat https://t.co/VU5BhUBPMP

A3) K Ss can use Blog Jr. Super simple camera, record and posting features. Ss and families love seeing posts. #MDUSDchat

ShaunaHawes Mar 22 @ 11:55 PM EDT

A2 Best things about @RemindHQ are chat and reply features. @googlevoice also lets Ss and families text me, which is fun too. #MDUSDChat

coacheagan Mar 22 @ 11:55 PM EDT

@ShayKornfeld that's awesome! Teaching them young and learning how to work it and be relevant #mdusdchat

@KarlyMoura yep! Or even in a controlled LMS - social media = online communication. Some more open than others. Start practicing #MDUSDChat

ajyoung53 Mar 22 @ 11:56 PM EDT

Yes! Teach them young how to properly use social media it will always be apart of their lives! #mdusdchat https://t.co/s1rVk1HrTv

@coacheagan The teaching of responsibility and appropriate usage is they key #MDUSDChat

@EdTechAri @TechyTwinMom @mrdunlap80 I hear there is a handbook somewhere for starting a chat... ;) #MDUSDChat

MsNakashima7 Mar 22 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A3: I defer to policies & Ps. Everyone has their own preferences, however mocking a SM site is always okay to me! #MDUSDChat

ShaunaHawes Mar 22 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A2 #MDUSDChat Not well known, but we also use @newtechnetwork's Echo. Ps and Ss have accounts, all can see daily agendas, links, assigns.

KarlyMoura - Moderator Mar 22 @ 11:57 PM EDT

@LeeAraoz Lee you are a blog MASTER! Love your posts. So informative and useful! #MDUSDChat

SEANJFAHEY Mar 22 @ 11:57 PM EDT

An idea I have is for a class Twitter account have 1 Student per day share something they learned new that day. #MDUSDChat

Megan_Gerdts Mar 22 @ 11:57 PM EDT

A3 With assistance I'd use it with TK! It's a great tool, but Ss need training in the proper etiquette, responsibility, etc. #MDUSDChat
