@KateGeorgeBRP Welcome. #isedchat is great place to start.

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:07 PM EDT

Q1 How many things are you doing right now? What are they? How many tabs do you currently have open? #isedchat

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 ironically, I'm trying to watch the new revised ending to Believeland on ESPN 30 for 30! #isedchat

kirk_humphreys Jun 30 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1: two twitter chats, 10 tabs, TV with my phone, computer and iPad all around me. Wow... didn't realize I was surrounded. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A1. I have 11 tabs open, HGTV is on, and I am moderating! Phone on arm of chair. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 One and one. This #isedchat. I seldom multitask.

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@crottymark Wow. I am impressed. You are a good person to have involved in this chat. Wish I could say the same. #isedchat

EricAfterSchool Jun 30 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Chatting from iPad, so no other tabs. On vacation in VT, and it's pretty quiet. Managing infant son who is light sleeper. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 I like to say I control the tech; the tech doesn't control me. #isedchat

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 A1. Oh & I'm trying to help my Davidson class hit it's giving goal (via phone) tonight, but that's on hold for this #isedchat

sarahhanawald Jun 30 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 I refuse to count my tabs! Family is watching TV, I'm summarizing ECATD survey results & consolidating slack channels #isedchat

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:12 PM EDT

#isedchat A1. Really-I'm all yours in one tab after Believeland!

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:15 PM EDT

a2 Everything takes on an immediacy that is probably not real. Also means I have to prioritize and focus more. #isedchat

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 A2. Yes. I am much more efficient & productive. Collaborate more. I learned to "lock in" when needed before the tech #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A2. I would have to say definitely yes. In some ways I feel more productive, and others I feel I am hopping from thing to thing. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2. I definitely feel more that I collaborate and connect more effectively using tech. #isedchat

kirk_humphreys Jun 30 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: Absolutely. No doubt, I am addicted to my phone. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:17 PM EDT

a2 I can do certain things with a richness never before possible, i.e. presentations. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:17 PM EDT

It is so very tempting to jump from thing to thing.. as the example in the video. I pop onto facebook and lose 15 minutes easily. #isedchat

EricAfterSchool Jun 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: In countless ways. Have to force myself to sit and read with focus like I did pre-2010(ish). #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 And do that with people I never could before, at least not regularly or easily, such as good folks of #isedchat.

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@kirk_humphreys #isedchat I leave mine in a bag during the work day to maintain focus

sarahhanawald Jun 30 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 Yes--I think technology has made a huge difference. I worked pre-tech and have no illusions that I did more back then. #isedchat

kirk_humphreys Jun 30 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@dwillard During work I have no issues it's when I'm supposed to do things like laundry, cleaning where I am on it :) haha #isedchat

RandyFairfield Jun 30 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2) Tech helps me be more efficient and waste less time, which in turn allows me to be a better teacher, father, and husband. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@dwillard @kirk_humphreys I LOVE this idea! Wish I could do it. Everything feels so immediate to me when I am at work :( Is it??? #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 Plus so much of what is done on line, esp special effects, is because one can, although it's not really of any value. #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Jun 30 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@EricAfterSchool A2 yes I def skim more now! Yikes! #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: tech has made me more efficient and given me more confidence to try something new in and out of classroom #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:20 PM EDT

a2 The abundance makes me feel as if I'm always missing something. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:21 PM EDT

It's FOMO on steroids for me. #isedchat https://t.co/sRLgYKikwF

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:20 PM EDT

a2 The abundance makes me feel as if I'm always missing something. #isedchat

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@crottymark A2-I've tried hard to let that go, thinking what I do find via Twitter is serendipity. I can always find it later #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Question 3 coming up in 2 minutes! #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@crottymark Tough to stay current. Feel like I need to in order to help Ss, Ps and my own kids! Always learning! #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:22 PM EDT

a2 As @dweinberger writes about, shifts everything about our conceptions of knowledge. #isedchat

ConsultJodi Jun 30 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 Or longer. #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:23 PM EDT

New puppy has made me take more tech breaks recently! #isedchat https://t.co/RCdXtBpWEc

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@dwillard True, but I'm already aware of how little I actually know and the tech just adds to that! #isedchat

EricAfterSchool Jun 30 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 @KateGeorgeBRP Love the media options always w. me on iPad, but I don't read as deeply as when I held physical paper. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Q3 What types of things are you most likely to be “fully present” doing? Why do you think you think so? #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Wonder how much Ss explore tech or wait to here about new stuff from peers. #isedchat

Don't work from home. It's easy to become addicted. #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Jun 30 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@crottymark @dwillard OTOH my feed can also make me more insular if I'm not careful #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:26 PM EDT

a3 Anything that challenges me to be intellectually creative and to figure out how to make it real. #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@EricAfterSchool No ink on your fingers!!! #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@skeeTX I think they explore different ways to connect with each other... but not much tech connected to academics. #isedchat

sarahhanawald Jun 30 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@skeeTX I think that counts as exploring--it's their network. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@KateGeorgeBRP @dwillard Yes, dangers of the filter bubble! #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 Agree. Social use most important to them. #isedchat

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 #isedchat A3.I don't bring phone to meetings, leave screen dark when I can in meetings, work off priority list, block email time

EricAfterSchool Jun 30 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: Quaker meeting at our school forces total presence. No electronics, and silence! I'm also distraction free in front of class. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:28 PM EDT

a3 When I'm not engaged is busy tasks. Don't think most people are. So what does that suggest about the classrooms we should see? #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:28 PM EDT

My phone needs to go in my bag more often. Need to tell myself-- It can wait. #isedchat

EricAfterSchool Jun 30 @ 9:29 PM EDT

A3(b): When I need to set a good example for Ss, it turns out I can do without my digital distractions just fine. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@EricAfterSchool I have loved meeting time when I've been in them #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Jun 30 @ 9:29 PM EDT

a3 I never have my phone with me at school. In my bag, Drives people crazy! #isedchat

RandyFairfield Jun 30 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A3) I'm "fully present" whenever I need to be, & "distracted" when I choose to be. It's always a choice, & it's empowering! #isedchat (1/2)

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:30 PM EDT

#isedchat A3 In my own home, no tech at table, phone on shelf after dinner

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Apple Watch has kept me from totally detaching, which is difficult to do. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:31 PM EDT

I ran errand today. Halfway there realized forgot phone. After moment of panic, liberation. Like opening of Hamlet's Blackberry. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@KateGeorgeBRP Hmmm. I'm not sure I could do that. So much communication happens btw buildings-- student issues, office questions. #isedchat

sarahhanawald Jun 30 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A3 I find that I have to pay attention to my internal rhythms for working &play to those now that I don't have external strucure #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Jun 30 @ 9:31 PM EDT

Folks expect u to be "present" digitally always! Tough to turn off. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@crottymark I have felt that panic... and it feels good to get over the hump. I say-- what did I do before? I lived. #isedchat

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Agree-would be harder if I was a Division Head #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:32 PM EDT

Playing golf w/ my 8 year old son today took me away from tech. However, need to catch up happens after a few hours. Problematic? #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@crottymark No phone feels like being naked! #isedchat

kirk_humphreys Jun 30 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3:Being a teacher. It's my job so it takes my utmost attention and is a priority. #isedchat

RandyFairfield Jun 30 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A3) W/ family, fully present. In line at the post office I'm "distracted" & productive so I can be present when I get home! #isedchat (2/2)

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:33 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 @crottymark We did live, but it's hard to put aside the what if??? #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@skeeTX Agree-The longer my phone sits, the more I have to deal w/when I pick it up.If I deal a little at a time, easier to manage #isedchat

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:34 PM EDT

#isedchat interesting, Ss don't see the divide like we do. danah boyd's It's Complicated is a great read if you have not

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@skeeTX @crottymark I know. I agree completely. Especially with my own kids who are driving... #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 @crottymark sad but I text my son to come downstairs to eat!!! #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Q4 coming up in 2 minutes! #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 @skeeTX True, but perhaps increased because we live in such an age of anxiety. #isedchat

ConsultJodi Jun 30 @ 9:36 PM EDT

What did we do before technology? I think we all sat around and ate bon, bons. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@skeeTX @crottymark We have a family group chat... I must admit I have done that. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@skeeTX @lcarroll94 Not really any different than yelling, is it? #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Jun 30 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@skeeTX @lcarroll94 @crottymark Ha! Better than hollering up the stairs! #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@ConsultJodi I know I watched more TV. Now I read more and connect with people. Is that a bad thing? #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@crottymark @lcarroll94 Were folks not as anxious b/c they were not in the know as we are now? #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@crottymark @lcarroll94 Not as loud! #isedchat

sarahhanawald Jun 30 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@skeeTX @lcarroll94 @crottymark Well, it beats screaming up the stairs! #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@skeeTX @lcarroll94 Believe so. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Q4 What are some strategies that you use to be “more present”? #isedchat

ConsultJodi Jun 30 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 Same thing with me. If connections lead to more work, I would be happen. #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:39 PM EDT

I certainly enjoy the benefit of tech connecting me to long distance relatives, esp FaceTime w/ grandparents etc #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Q4. I need to put my phone in the basket more often when I come in the house. That would help me. #isedchat

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 #isedchat I think I wasn't fully present and answered Q3 as Q4. LOL.

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@dwillard I can't keep track either... and I am moderating. #Isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4: establish routine at night for family time, especially w/ wife as we are ships passing most of the time. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:40 PM EDT

a4 Layered to do list, with priority levels. Block out calendar time for key things. I have incredible admin asst who protects me. #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Jun 30 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A4 I change locations. Someone comes into my office I get up and move to a new spot and sit & listen- even for a quick thing. #isedchat

EricAfterSchool Jun 30 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: Close Tweetdeck! I have all the notifications off on mobile devices, otherwise I can't resist a peek. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:41 PM EDT

I use the "paperless app" to keep track of things I need to get done. Also my Google calendar w/reminders helps me so much. #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@dwillard @lcarroll94 playing w/ puppy, watching tv and chatting! #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:41 PM EDT

a4 I think my athletic career helped me learn to really focus intensely. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@EricAfterSchool I've stopped notifications on the screen because of that! I'd just click on anything as it popped up.. time gone! #isedchat

sarahhanawald Jun 30 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4 I could use some more. Have been trying a timer--can't check email until it goes off #isedchat

skeeTX Jun 30 @ 9:42 PM EDT

Thx all! Time to read w/ my son. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@skeeTX Thanks for chatting. Be present with him :) #isedchat

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@EricAfterSchool #isedchat Amen.I don't have notifications turned on phone, rarely have sound https://t.co/vnSqVkDDop dot is there.

RandyFairfield Jun 30 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 @skeeTX @crottymark I stated a family group on @Edmodo that we'll use to share stuff digitally as my kids get older. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:42 PM EDT

@sarahhanawald There are apps for that... does anyone use them? #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:43 PM EDT

a4 I will focus on one thing for longer period rather than jump around. I do most pressing things first. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:43 PM EDT

a4 I am very willing to say no when necessary. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:43 PM EDT

I have no sound on my phone at all. When I get a call (rarity) it vibrates. Helps me jumping at it. #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Jun 30 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@dwillard @EricAfterSchool I HATE the red dot! #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@crottymark I need to do that more. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Strongly recommend the book Essentialism by @GregoryMcKeown. Basic idea is we must become editors of our lives. #isedchat

Next Q coming up in 2 min! #isedchat

RandyFairfield Jun 30 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4) When you get into "the flow", silence the phone. Managing & shutting off notifications is huge. Only get needed notifications! #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:46 PM EDT

@JosieHolford There is a chat going on that misses you! #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Jun 30 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@crottymark @GregoryMcKeown Tech is so great. Just looked the book up! #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@RandyFairfield Yes. I'd add that shutting it off earlier betters the changes of getting into that flow. #isedchat

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@KateGeorgeBRP #isedchat Busted!

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Q5 How can we help our students (and families) be more present? How can we promote “single tasking”? #isedchat

ajpodchaski Jun 30 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A4: don't participate in chats unless everyone else goes to sleep when you are on vacation #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@KateGeorgeBRP @GregoryMcKeown It's very strong. In fact, likely to start my in-service charge off a concept in it. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@RandyFairfield Agreed! #isedchat

dwillard Jun 30 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 #isedchat A5(a). Here's very direct advice to our teachers: https://t.co/MuhhlZYb5s

A5: We teach mindfulness explicitly through Quaker worship and req'd Spiritual Practices class. Leadership from @mindfulnessness. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A5. We need to model single tasking. although it's challenging. I often find myself w/ my phone taking pics throughout the day. #isedchat

ajpodchaski Jun 30 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A5: Don't send mail after 9pm unless an emergency - don't send random updates on weekends - schedule availability #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Jun 30 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@ConsultJodi Yes! We have tech free Sundays in my house. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@ConsultJodi Not sure how tech free week would work in ipad environment. There are times and places for it needs to be deliberate. #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Jun 30 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@lcarroll94 Are taking pictures not being present? I think they show that u are in the moment. #isedchat

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:55 PM EDT

I have tried not to email teachers over the weekend or after hours. I queue up drafts and fire off in the morning M - F. #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:55 PM EDT

I don't think non-use is the answer, as that doesn't chance habits at other times. #isedchat

ajpodchaski Jun 30 @ 9:56 PM EDT

@crottymark non-use is only an answer for a deliberate break in practice to be reflective. Short term only #isedchat

crottymark Jun 30 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Now, time to go be fully present with my son for a chess match. Thanks for great #isedchat tonight! Super topic @lcarroll94

lcarroll94 - Moderator Jun 30 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@KateGeorgeBRP Never thought of it that way. Thanks! #isedchat
