Hello, I'm Robin-4th grade T in Deland Florida. I have used @smokeylit Lit. Circles design in the past-excited to learn more #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@MrsBeguin Hi Heidi! I agree. Thanks for joining us on #istelitchat

Mrs_Krapels Oct 23 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: I've done a PBL w/Ss asking them to decide which of 4 texts should be added to the curr for next year - read in lit circles #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@blueegg3r @smokeylit Hi Robin! Smokey got me started on this journey! Thanks for joining us on #istelitchat

blueegg3r Oct 23 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 - An opportunity for Ss to read a shared text of choice & discuss it in a structured way Ss have roles to facilitate discuss #istelitchat

cybraryman1 Oct 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT

My Literature Circle links on My Literature page https://t.co/buTq7kTY2x #ISTELitChat #engchat #edchat

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 I'll say a reading group, often where each member satisfies a particular role. #istelitchat

MrKrapels Oct 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: I try to have Ss lit. circles mimic the way adults talk about books. Goal is that Ss can eventually rec. books to e/o #istelitchat

MrsBeguin Oct 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Lit Circles to me - Ss choose same book, create rding schedule, then create CommonCraft style video to promote book to all. #istelitchat

michellegaskin3 Oct 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 I use them in daily rotations as a read to someone rotation. Choice! Empowering! Lots of S engagement. #istelitchat

KittyShadman Oct 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Hi Kitty here, Tech Coach listening in for ELA and librarians I help. Ready to get tips to share! #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Literature Circles in traditional sense of H. Daniels = book clubs w/Ss taking on various roles for productive discussions #istelitchat

kriersusie Oct 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: I have so many books sets for Ss groups to do lit circles. I'll let them choose a book and each has a job for the week. #istelitchat

bpmwebber Oct 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Q1: I use lit circles for students to explore different types of books. I assign them different roles and they have to report #istelitchat

Mrs_Krapels Oct 23 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: the ideal student lit circle models what adults talk about when they talk about books #istelitchat

EHSMrsJ Oct 23 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A1: Lit Circles give Ss choice & voice! Pick a book to read together, then everybody has a role to play & ideas to contribute. #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels I LOVE this idea! It gives an authentic purpose for reading & asks for Ss input into curriculum choice. Awesome!! #istelitchat

jade_wilds Oct 23 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: Ss have a choice in what book they want to read after being given a book talk about multiple books. #ISTELitchat

michellegaskin3 Oct 23 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1 I also use a menu of activities instead of jobs or roles #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Yes, and we can also do literature circles with smaller texts and short stories #istelitchat https://t.co/c5MHzIjSyy

bpmwebber Oct 23 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Q1: I use lit circles for students to explore different types of books. I assign them different roles and they have to report #istelitchat

Mrs_Krapels Oct 23 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@LeeAraoz The quality of the work they did was PHENOMENAL - truly. This year's group is so excited to read last year's pick #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Literature Circles = Student-directed, passion-based learning. The best kind of learning their is IMO! ;-) #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@MrsBeguin I like the common craft style video as book trailer idea #istelitchat

Mrs_Krapels Oct 23 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@michellegaskin3 That's a great adaptation! With my older Ss, roles/jobs can feel really contrived - I like your model #istelitchat

saintjenn Oct 23 @ 9:13 PM EDT

I love that Common Craft idea, @MrsBeguin ! #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels That is fantastic! I am stealing your idea….LOL #istelitchat

Mrs_Krapels Oct 23 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@LeeAraoz I'm happy to share! If you'd like, I can pass along my project handouts and other resources #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels Thanks, Shari. That would be amazing! #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@EHSMrsJ Awesome idea, thanks for sharing #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q2: How can Literature Circles be used in content area subjects like Social Studies, Math, and Science? #istelitchat https://t.co/H4wPdzNkA4

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@MrsAutumnRiley Hi, Autumn! Thanks for joining us on #istelitchat

saintjenn Oct 23 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Q1 - In lit circles do Ss read book on their own or together in the group? #istelitchat

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1.2 #istelitchat Tried lit circles while classes of 8th graders read Night together. Ss chose companion text to re… https://t.co/UOfQ86dbXz

MrsAutumnRiley Oct 23 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1: Just about to try Lit Circles for the 1st time. One novel for full class, Ss with different roles in different groups. #istelitchat

MrKrapels Oct 23 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@T_HEB Awesome. I haven't thought of organizing around theme before. #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@saintjenn Ss usually read books independently and meet to discuss what they’ve read. #istelitchat

T_HEB Oct 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Could you provide some examples @michellegaskin3? I like the idea. #istelitchat #PLN

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 Literature circles aren't just for literature. Try with primary documents from history or scientific articles. #istelitchat

michellegaskin3 Oct 23 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 not sure but can't wait to hear ideas!!! #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@brianrozinsky I LOVE this idea, Brian! #istelitchat

jade_wilds Oct 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: For Social Studies, I was just introduced to different books about inventors/inventions that could be used for lit circles #ISTELitchat

MrsAutumnRiley Oct 23 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: Any informational txt can be read for diff purposes with different assigned reading roles... Summarized, illustrator, etc #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2; Curent Events Literature Circles were a big hit with my 6th graders last year! #istelitchat

Mrs_Krapels Oct 23 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: Lit circles can be adapted to work w/high-quality non-fiction. Some of the best texts are related to science, history, etc #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: Lit Circles across content areas can be like jigsaws. give Ss different articles or texts 2read, discuss, share & connect #istelitchat

EHSMrsJ Oct 23 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: Lit circles work in any content w/any rdng mat; so many free dig tools for Ss to collaborate & share/show what they know! #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@MrsBeguin Thanks for sharing this resource Mrs. Beguin! #istelitchat

blueegg3r Oct 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2 I taught a General Psyc class for college Ss with over 100 Ss & used Lit. Circles for the textbook-I used non-fiction roles #istelitchat

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2.2 If you crave full-length books that give compelling narrative looks at history, check out titles by @stevesheinkin #istelitchat

kriersusie Oct 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: at elementary level, look for historical fiction books. Would love to hear ideas for math and science!#istelitchat

T_HEB Oct 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I enjoy the conversations we have as a class re identifying theme. Also energizes class to ask about the other books @MrKrapels #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:20 PM EDT

I was thinking I can use lit circles using digital platform @activelylearn w/nonfiction science themed articles for next unit #istelitchat

MrKrapels Oct 23 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: There is so much engaging, quality non-fiction. Immortal Life of Henrietta Lax for science is one of my faves. #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor I agree!! Jigsaw and Literature Circles go hand-in-hand. #istelitchat

ProseKristi Oct 23 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Just joining now! My name is Kristi and I teach 6th grade social studies. This is my first Twitter Chat! #ISTELitChat

bpmwebber Oct 23 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2: In Social Studies, I assigned chapters from their book or assigned articles for them to read and report out to class. #istelitchat

Mrs_Krapels Oct 23 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @activelylearn is a GREAT tool - big fan #istelitchat

MrKrapels Oct 23 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@EHSMrsJ Now I am! Didn't know about it. #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@LeeAraoz That's a great idea. I can take my Articles of the Week and do Lit Circles based on Ss reading choices #istelitchat

joellemc3 Oct 23 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels I would love for you to share your resources with me! #istelitchat

@TeachingFactor Absolutely! #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Only one minute until Q3. Are you ready? #istelitchat https://t.co/Y6G8vAQorr

Mrs_LaFave Oct 23 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@brianrozinsky I teach BSoG alongside F451 in my dystopian lit class. Great titles that my high school kiddos enjoy. #istelitchat

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A2.3 Seeking quirky text choice: How about graphic-novel biography of a famous scientist like _Feynman_? #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Q3: Choice is an important aspect of Literature Circles. How can we extend this with technology? #istelitchat https://t.co/NuYV55iCHD

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Im getting so many awesome ideas 2rethink how Im going 2use texts w/Ss beyond twitter book clubs, jigsaws, &lit circle menus #istelitchat

PeterGouveia Oct 23 @ 9:24 PM EDT

#istelitchat Q2: I feel the responsibility is on me (ELA) to reach out across content areas since other Ts are reluctant to read in class!

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: I think it goes back to the menu idea - give Ss menu option for reading, discussion, and share. I do think tac toe & 2-5-8 #istelitchat

LemarrTreadwell Oct 23 @ 9:25 PM EDT

#istelitchat Lemarr Treadwell, late checkingin.

Mrs_Krapels Oct 23 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: I bring together Ss who are reading diff texts using online discussion boards, shared google docs, etc #istelitchat

EHSMrsJ Oct 23 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Tools like @Seesaw let my Ss choose how they reflect on their reading: can sketchnote, journal, take pic, record, etc. #istelitchat

michellegaskin3 Oct 23 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 how about they create a power point or sway as an activity as a choice in a menu of activities #istelitchat

MrKrapels Oct 23 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: Teach Ss how to use tech to source kit (@goodreads) or use @GoogleForEdu to publish their thoughts on their reading #istelitchat

MrsAutumnRiley Oct 23 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: Giving Ss interactive digital project choice menus & let groups pick who does which parts for the individual grades #istelitchat

bpmwebber Oct 23 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Q3: I am very interested to see the responses. This year we have 1:1 iPads and I am interested in how you all integrate tech #istelitchat

blueegg3r Oct 23 @ 9:26 PM EDT

I have just started using @Seesaw with my class. I'm thinking I could app-smash with @Seesaw & @padlet Anybody done this? #istelitchat

MrsBeguin Oct 23 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: My As use technology in creating the Common Craft style videos. Generally create with their phones. #istelitchat

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 Tech can support choice in products created based on reading. Tech can facilitate outlets for shared talk re: diff't texts #istelitchat

Mrs_Krapels Oct 23 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@blueegg3r I keep seeing Ts talking about @Seesaw - would it would for HS students, or is it better for elem? #istelitchat

jade_wilds Oct 23 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3 Ss can watch book trailers of the books that are used in the lit circle and choose from these videos which book they want #ISTELitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A3: Digital tools like Google Forms, Poll Everywhere, and Mentimeter allow Ss to choose books quickly and anonymously. #istelitchat

EHSMrsJ Oct 23 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Yep! All kinds of ways to app smash w/@Seesaw! Check out other ideas here: https://t.co/3dtfO1s8E3 #istelitchat https://t.co/hJJFaUbn0Q

blueegg3r Oct 23 @ 9:26 PM EDT

I have just started using @Seesaw with my class. I'm thinking I could app-smash with @Seesaw & @padlet Anybody done this? #istelitchat

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor Hyperdoc format can be one way to blend menus, interaction, thinking, writing, other reading-inspired creating. #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@blueegg3r @Seesaw @padlet I've done a to of smashes with padlet and Smore and Google slides. #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@brianrozinsky tech also allows Ss to extend Lit Circles beyond the classroom walls via GHO, twitter, blogging or wikis #istelitchat

saintjenn Oct 23 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3 - Tech can provide diff avenues to access'g the book...e vs. paper...also can provide voice for those too shy to speak f2f. #istelitchat

joellemc3 Oct 23 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3: My Ss use Google Read & Write as a tech tool in lit circles #istelitchat

LemarrTreadwell Oct 23 @ 9:29 PM EDT

#istelitchat A3. Litera. Cir. provided collaboration (student roles). Technology can enhance this through #Skype

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3: I believe it's important for Ss to choose the tech tools they'll use to create evidence of learning. Choice boards can help #istelitchat

saintjenn Oct 23 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Also, could do virtual meet (snow day!), and do extenders. #istelitchat

cvarsalona Oct 23 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Carol ELA Consultant from Long Island here. Just finished listening to webinar by @dogtrax on digital writing. #istelitchat

MrKrapels Oct 23 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @brianrozinsky I'm trying to get Ss to use GHO more for their lit circles #istelitchat

cvarsalona Oct 23 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3 Ss can create book trailers to follow lit circles as ways to communicate with other classes. #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@kmlongstaff Yes, Kristen. I have one around her somewhere. Let me check. #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Q4: Which tech tools/apps can students use to enhance the Literature Circle experience? #istelitchat https://t.co/ovJdmt7Vxu

MrsAutumnRiley Oct 23 @ 9:32 PM EDT

A3: The @RecapThat app is super cool too! And would go really well for an end of meeting day digital video share out #istelitchat

Mrs_Krapels Oct 23 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@blueegg3r Thanks so much for sharing! Can't wait to check out #istelitchat

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@cvarsalona Nifty, Carol. And also to promote book to classmates who may have chosen something diff't to read in a sub-group. #istelitchat

bpmwebber Oct 23 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Q4: I am looking forward to these answers! #istelitchat

cvarsalona Oct 23 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor Sorry I'm late my daughter called showing her landscape lights for the holidays (digitalized with an app) #istelitchat

MrKrapels Oct 23 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: Honestly, I think that GAFE provide so much for Ss in terms of collaboration and communication. #istelitchat

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4 Any of 'em, potentially ;) #istelitchat https://t.co/Og36DYLj7G

cvarsalona Oct 23 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@brianrozinsky Writing across multimodalities is exciting too. #istelitchat

T_HEB Oct 23 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3 We have enjoyed @TodaysMeet where Ss can record their notes while reading at home. Pse questions, imp events, vocab. #istelitchat #edtech

LemarrTreadwell Oct 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT

#istelitchat A4. I like SWAY, PowerPoint and/or #OneNote

EHSMrsJ Oct 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@MrsAutumnRiley @RecapThat Is that only on iPads now? #istelitchat

MrKrapels Oct 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @brianrozinsky Oh that's a great idea! So you moderate for your Ss? #istelitchat

Mrs_Krapels Oct 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: we usually only think of @Turnitin as being useful to check for plagiarism & grading, but discussion boards are also great #istelitchat

ProseKristi Oct 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4: I'm a fan of Padlet. I like that students can each post and share their thoughts on the wall #ISTELitChat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@MrsAutumnRiley @RecapThat I LOVE this app!! #istelitchat

blueegg3r Oct 23 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A4- I'm wanting to figure out how to use @padlet & @Seesaw as well as other apps to smash! Love to hear your ideas! #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @MrsAutumnRiley @RecapThat It’s a web-based application. #istelitchat

MrsAutumnRiley Oct 23 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Q4: @googledrive for collaborative docs/slides, @padlet for link collection by Ss, @ThingLink for Teacher resource collection #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Last spring I had Ss send a video or audio clip highlighting lit circle discussions. Also used @vine #istelitchat

mmdetrick Oct 23 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A4: I use @VoiceThread #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@missdiehl Hi Christy! Thanks for joining us tonight on #istelitchat

cvarsalona Oct 23 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4 How about a quick video with the ipad while students collaborate-useful for assessing collaborative skills #istelitchat

mmdetrick Oct 23 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: I use @teachertube to post Ss book trailers.The Bronze Bow - TeacherTube https://t.co/yV7l7FlOON via @sharethis #istelitchat #adwteach

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Google classroom is another great tool for Literature Circles. I create a class for each group and they can post, chat, etc. #istelitchat

T_HEB Oct 23 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Yes, participation is not limited to just that class. Ideas can pop anywhere & @TodaysMeet helps Ss record immediate thinking. #istelitchat

EHSMrsJ Oct 23 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: I like both @Seesaw & Google Docs/Drive/Classroom for frequent, real-time teacher feedback. #istelitchat

cvarsalona Oct 23 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@LeeAraoz Interesting Q Lee. Looking forward to your answer. #istelitchat

Q5: Ts model techniques on @Blogger blogs or @weebly sites OR use iMovie with @DoInkTweets & green screen to create trailers #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A5: GHO and Today’s Meet are great tools that allow students to meet remotely to discuss Lit. Circle books. #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@PeterGouveia The pace here is fast and furious! I feel your anxiety! :-) #istelitchat

blueegg3r Oct 23 @ 9:44 PM EDT

I want to extend the discussion beyond the day. I teach 4th grade - Suggestions? I am using Seesaw so could use this... #istelitchat

missdiehl Oct 23 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Lit circles would rock with an app like @Veescope or any green screen maker. Up the challenge - have Ss show mult perspectives #istelitchat

MrsAutumnRiley Oct 23 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@LeeAraoz #istelitchat what is GHO?

MrKrapels Oct 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@PeterGouveia @LeeAraoz @kmlongstaff I get the feeling. I'm always ambivalent w/ new tech. I wonder if I have to make cuts. #istelitchat

cvarsalona Oct 23 @ 9:45 PM EDT

@brianrozinsky A5 Introverts get their say in those backchannels. #istelitchat

ProseKristi Oct 23 @ 9:46 PM EDT

What about setting up a discussion board for students? We use Schoology, but I know you can set up on Google #ISTELitChat

MrsAutumnRiley Oct 23 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@brianrozinsky @LeeAraoz #istelitchat Ohhh 👏🏻😄

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT

Gosh, #ISTElitchat is sharing resources faster than an @edcamp Smackdown. So many resourceful tech tools to utilize for Literature Circles

cvarsalona Oct 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor must make time 4 GHO w our team on #NCTE16 presentation: Authentic Voice in Digital World...Can't Wait! #istelitchat

MrsAutumnRiley Oct 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@missdiehl #istelitchat we love @DoInkTweets for green screen 🤓

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@T_HEB I could see a mash-up w/something like https://t.co/JDSo7dSxT3 or an online comic creator to summarize + add soundtrack #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @edcamp This chat is amazing!! #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Okay the .gif competition/share is just as great as the app share/slam during #istelitchat tonight.

cvarsalona Oct 23 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@T_HEB iMovie @Animoto 4 movie making #istelitchat

cvarsalona Oct 23 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@brianrozinsky @T_HEB moving over various digital platforms makes PBL an exciting prospect. #istelitchat

missdiehl Oct 23 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6 what about creating your own memes? Students get creative and it's hilarious and to the point #istelitchat

cvarsalona Oct 23 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@MrsAutumnRiley @missdiehl @DoInkTweets Thanks for info #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6: @padlet @WeVideo @SmorePages Google Slides, Hyper Docs, Google Forms, @quizizz The list is endless! :-) #istelitchat

saintjenn Oct 23 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6 Assess could be done via google forms, among other tools.... my book club is extracurricular, but I could ask Ss to assess #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:50 PM EDT

This week having Ss make sketch notes for key themes in their books. Next week I'll try @RecapThat &few other apps shared #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@missdiehl I LOVE this idea! #istelitchat

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A6 Google Forms is increasingly my go-to for feeding assessment & feedback loops. 1/2 #istelitchat

blueegg3r Oct 23 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A6- I think @seesaw could be used for Teacher assessment - my Ss upload fluency and other stuff for me - I can listen at night #istelitchat

MrsAutumnRiley Oct 23 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@PowToon Final projects could be cool esp for shy Ss who hate to present #protectionfromadverseconsequences #istelitchat

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:51 PM EDT

A6.2 Google Forms is increasingly powerful tool, yet help from Flubaroo Sheets add-on still welcome in my world. #istelitchat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Im so impressed by awesome #ISTELitChat participants and the amazing ideas they are presenting tonight. Thanks for… https://t.co/JTzgHcwou5

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @edcamp This chat is amazing!! #istelitchat

MrsAutumnRiley Oct 23 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@brianrozinsky #istelitchat YES! I love @google forms for almost everything in life 👍

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@blueegg3r I agree! @Seesaw is an awesome tool for assessment. #istelitchat

T_HEB Oct 23 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A6 My go to for reflection is 1:1 conversations w Ss but if I go #edtech I look to forms, @RecapThat and slides. #istelitchat

PS21si Oct 23 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A6: @GetKahoot @LeeAraoz #IsteLitChat

TeachingFactor - Moderator Oct 23 @ 9:53 PM EDT

brianrozinsky Oct 23 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@TeachingFactor @missdiehl Or inhabiting a backchannel as a character from the book! #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@PS21si Yes, @GetKahoot is another great tool! Ss can create their own Kahoots based on the books read in Lit. Circles. #istelitchat

LeeAraoz Oct 23 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Q7: How can students create content as they take part in the Literature Circle experience? #istelitchat https://t.co/TWDgu2Yjjh

T_HEB Oct 23 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Someday I want to get to try using @MinecraftEDU as a took to share Lit udnerstanding & to gather feedback. #istelitchat

A7 have Ss make a lesson in @tes_teach blendspace. Pretend like it's geared towards an absent student. #StudentsTeachStudents #istelitchat

A7- The sky's the limit! Ss will have far better ideas than me & given the opportunity to use tech, they can soar! #istelitchat
