bonnie_strohl May 18 @ 8:03 PM EDT

Hello from Bonnie in soggy Martin County! #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Welcome, @lisab_1964 and @bonnie_strohl So glad you are joining us for #FLedChat tonight.

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:04 PM EDT

I'm reading #DitchBook still 2night should be interesting topic #Fledchat

DennisDill May 18 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Textbooks ... don't even look good when they are just sitting on the shelf ... #FLEdChat

therowdykidsin3 May 18 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Amy from Pensacola! In and out as I help my HS son make currywurst for a school project. #fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:04 PM EDT

Excellent to see a fellow @MCSDFlorida educator here expanding their learning on a Wednesday night! #FLEdChat https://t.co/LhXzNzOrug

bonnie_strohl May 18 @ 8:03 PM EDT

Hello from Bonnie in soggy Martin County! #fledchat

DennisDill May 18 @ 8:04 PM EDT

#BestUseofTextbooks ... great for killing spiders ... #FLEdChat

amybrowns May 18 @ 8:05 PM EDT

@DennisDill Awwww, c'mon now....a bookshelf can look purrrty...check out pinterest for motivation! #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:05 PM EDT

As you can see we will be discussing the pros and cons of textbooks tonight. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:06 PM EDT

We will use the Q1/A1 format until the conversation gets rolling. #FLedChat

nathan_stevens May 18 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@TG_Neil or mostly cons #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:06 PM EDT

Don't forget to add #FLedChat to your tweets so we can all share in your brilliance.

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:07 PM EDT

Our first question will drop in just a moment. #FLedChat

DennisDill May 18 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@amybrowns I have great shelves ... just don't like it when they are polluted with textbooks ... #fledchat

nathan_stevens May 18 @ 8:07 PM EDT

@TG_Neil or these cons #fledchat https://t.co/wfYWND1E0L

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@bonnie_strohl You will LOVE it! They're writing, "Ditch that homework" too. I want to read that #Fledchat

amybrowns May 18 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@DennisDill https://t.co/PPXv2igQFK here's a good use! ;-) #fledchat

nathan_stevens May 18 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Or pro #FLedchat https://t.co/kmskNRa7io

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Thanks for the two quick follows already! #FLEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Q1: Does your school utilize textbooks? If so, which subjects? #FLedChat

nathan_stevens May 18 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@TG_Neil A1 they sit on a shelf #FLedchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: Our district makes textbooks available for all classes/courses #FLEdChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:10 PM EDT

A1: We have them, but I don't know that they're utilized. #Fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:11 PM EDT

our Ts like them, in ELA anyways, to stay on a path together #FLedchat

christinalaoshi May 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Hi all--Tweeting from Lk Mary. Our school uses mix of e-textbooks & print texts. I teach a STEAM class & don't use textbooks. #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Math, not so much. Ts want the freedom from textbooks #Fledchat

amybrowns May 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Usage varies from "Can't live without" to "Textbooks, what textbooks?" #fledchat

bonnie_strohl May 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1 Yes-We have textbooks (consumables - does that count?) for Math & Science #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@amybrowns pretty much us, too. #Fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: Our ELA, History, Science classes have textbooks. Some of our Math classes do. Some do not. #FLedChat

schink10 May 18 @ 8:12 PM EDT

A1: We have them in most classes. They are kept over by the abacuses and triple beam balances. #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

hey @JillJoh01221965 do we use textbooks on our campus? #Fledchat

nathan_stevens May 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1 we do not use textbooks. Our info in student created #FLedchat

therowdykidsin3 May 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 We teach the suggested skills each week, but do it through novel studies instead of basal reader. #fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@amybrowns A perfect example of 'different styles' and a need for differentiation among instructional materials #FLEdChat

JenWiedenman May 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1: Our district primarily uses textbooks in ELA #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@schink10 Okay--I hadda chuckle at that one...#FLedchat

DennisDill May 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

I like it when they buy textbooks with online access and call it 21st century learning ... #fledchat (did you hear the sarcasm)

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@therowdykidsin3 Several ELA Ts want that. sometimes Ts are afraid of getting off topic. Not being on same page as other classes #FLedchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:14 PM EDT

@DennisDill Yes, loud and clear. #FLedChat

christinalaoshi May 18 @ 8:15 PM EDT

My beef is w/ poorly executed e-textbooks. Just putting print into PDFs doesn't help Ss (makes bkpks lighter but harder to use). #fledchat

amybrowns May 18 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@DennisDill ohhhh we had that....but then only had 3 computer labs in the school.... #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Here comes the second question. #FLedChat

JenWiedenman May 18 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Our district uses online textbooks for science and consumable text/workbooks for science #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@christinalaoshi u do have a point..#Fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Q2: How do you respond to the idea that new teachers need textbooks as pacing guides? #FLedChat

bonnie_strohl May 18 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A1 - NO textbooks for ELA, which I like. #FLedChat

amybrowns May 18 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2 With a well oiled PLC, new teachers don't need textbooks to pace them...they have colleagues to guide #fledchat

DennisDill May 18 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@JenWiedenman workbook ... a whole book of worksheets ... Science/Math seem to be the ones most dedicated to textbooks #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:18 PM EDT

What if you are a solo silo? The only one teaching a specific subject (possibly in your entire district). #FLedchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: I think that the most important thing is to make our new teachers comfortable in their course #FLEdChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: We have a map for that. Ts still like the "teacher" part of textbook here #Fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@TG_Neil That is my case. No textbook. I write my own curriculum #Fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: we can teach new teachers to build their teacher toolbox of instructional materials... of which a textbook is just one #FLEdChat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Hi everyone. I'm a school counselor in Volusia Co. #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 But if you were a new teacher, would you be overwhelmed with that task? #FLedchat

nathan_stevens May 18 @ 8:19 PM EDT

@TG_Neil A2 makes me #fledchat https://t.co/f3wgIJDUts

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@TG_Neil That's tough... and a great example of where technology can bridge the gap... any classes in mind? #FLEdChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@dkonopelko that's a good idea. Let textbook be one of MANY resources. #Fledchat

edubabbIe May 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Paper delivered at the Annual Meeting of the material conditions of the learning process. #FLedchat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A1 we use textbooks in my school however most are classroom sets; Ss can check out books if needed to take home in most subjects #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@TG_Neil YES! That's where textbooks can help #Fledchat

christinalaoshi May 18 @ 8:20 PM EDT

My teaching style is too free form to use textbook & follow pacing guide. I rarely teach text lessons w/o changing something! #fledchat

schink10 May 18 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2: Maybe 1 book to look at, but a class set? Allowing new Ts to do this, perpetuates more of the same outdated teaching. #FLedchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@FLRichter Welcome to #Fledchat Just got to the 2nd ?

amybrowns May 18 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2p2 pacing guides for new Ts if they are solo silos? Necessity as the mother of invention? #fledchat

nathan_stevens May 18 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@christinalaoshi me too #fledchat

bonnie_strohl May 18 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2 - Tough call. The standards ought to be your guide. Depends on your teaching. Are you using textbook as a resource or Bible? #FLedchat

schink10 May 18 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2: Education never changes because that is what we tell new teachers to do. Break the mold! #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@dkonopelko Thinking about those of us in the small rural districts that may or may not have a partner to share resources. #FLedChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@bonnie_strohl that's the ?, I think. Textbook should be one of many resources #Fledchat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 standards & Ss showing proficiency in meeting standards should be used for pacing--not textbooks #fledchat

DennisDill May 18 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@christinalaoshi @FLedChat and yet districts keep buying ... nothing new #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:23 PM EDT

our ELA like using the stories in the ELA TB to teach with, then cold reads from elsewhere #Fledchat

JenWiedenman May 18 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@DennisDill Consumable workbooks are a step in the right direction. They're better than ancient 3 inch thick textbooks #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:24 PM EDT

One would hope, but many Colleges of Edu are still not embracing tech. #FLedchat https://t.co/2KfFh1QPur

bonnie_strohl May 18 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@TG_Neil @lisab_1964 Hopefully student teaching showed them how to not depend on one textbook

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2 often textbooks are written for a state test-which means that we are teaching to the test rather than teaching Ss the material #fledchat

ShiftParadigm May 18 @ 8:24 PM EDT

BE PREPARED to see things for what they are and call them by their true names Read -> https://t.co/X1hGNd5vcC #fledchat #gwinchat #asiaed

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:24 PM EDT

Our third question is in the on deck circle. #FLedChat

amybrowns May 18 @ 8:24 PM EDT

@FLRichter OR they are labeled as if they are written for the state test, but really are just a bunch of ....stuff #fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Consumable workbooks scare me @JenWiedenman because too often they are essentially a huge packet #FLEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Q3: What type of resources do you use instead of (or in conjunction with) textbooks? #FLedChat

JenWiedenman May 18 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Q2: I don't think textbooks are appropriate for pacing. Even a stand alone subject, can use the standards to make a pacing guide #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@therowdykidsin3 Yes, some do, problem is, not enough of same novels for all classes #Fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@DennisDill @christinalaoshi Don't forget, providing instructional materials for courses is in statute! #FLEdChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@bonnie_strohl those are SO fun! #Fledchat

cybraryman1 May 18 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3 My Creating Your Own Digital Textbooks page https://t.co/mgJHF8pXre #FLedchat Keeps everything current & have students make them!

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@amybrowns true; Ts need to be given time to identify big ideas,unpack standards-then figure out the best way to teach their Ss #FLedChat

therowdykidsin3 May 18 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A2: New Ts need support and guidance. Could be textbook or list of standards with project resources and links. #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:27 PM EDT

@FLRichter @amybrowns with us, time is often the issue. #FLedchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3: we are trying to work through some plans with OERs and other available free resources #FLEdChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@dkonopelko pardon my ignorance, what is OERs? #Fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:28 PM EDT

Open Educational Resources (great question by the way!) #FLEdChat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:28 PM EDT

https://t.co/PP30JLKU1x @ck12 comes to mind for sure! #FLEdChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@dkonopelko ah ok. Thanks! #Fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@therowdykidsin3 yep, good to expect it lol. #FLedchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:29 PM EDT

sorry, not @ck12 - @ck12foundation #FLEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@dkonopelko I'm Beta testing for Amazon's OER platform. It's going to be a great resource as well. #FLedChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@cybraryman1 @dkonopelko I WILL be visiting this page. Thanks! #Fledchat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3 class discussion;real world examples are great-but they take time;online resources are good but are limited infidelity/validity #fledchat

bonnie_strohl May 18 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3 Good books, DBQ's (with primary source docs), articles, biographies, on-line resources/websites #FLedChat

therowdykidsin3 May 18 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@FLRichter @amybrowns This is so true! My co-teacher and I spent time this summer working on that. Always need more time to tweak. #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:31 PM EDT

would love to have a printed out in plain english--the standards, then go from there to create map #FLedchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Awesome... we've also been looking at https://t.co/IHTEgDTSPX and tapping into https://t.co/kpqZyl79Lx and https://t.co/GB8B6svXPb #FLEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:31 PM EDT

So if textbooks aren't the answer and online resources take bunches of time to gather, how do we make this transition happen? #FLedChat

amybrowns May 18 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@therowdykidsin3 @FLRichter Seems to be a never-ending endeavor! #fledchat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:31 PM EDT

A3 class discussion;real world examples are great-but they take time;online resources are good but limited in fidelity & validity #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@TG_Neil I NEED this answer! LOL #Fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@bonnie_strohl We've got a great resource in @cengagegale for this #FLEdChat

JenWiedenman May 18 @ 8:32 PM EDT

@bonnie_strohl @dkonopelko #FLedChat these were taken at my school today 5th, K, 1st and 2nd https://t.co/4D1TtgViEJ

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:32 PM EDT

I think this is a big question for many of us in education today. #FLedChat https://t.co/FRJM8loAvU

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@TG_Neil I NEED this answer! LOL #Fledchat

therowdykidsin3 May 18 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 I've been looking at the standards and noticed they are a little hard to follow. Current school had our own standards. #FLedchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@TG_Neil agreed. Time stealers are non-teaching responsibilities Ts have to do along w/teaching, planning, grading #Fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:33 PM EDT

@therowdykidsin3 @lisab_1964 The standards for my classes are literally bullet points. (Suggestions). #FLedChat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:34 PM EDT

This is why student choice and student ownership are so vital... MUST have offline and online items #FLEdChat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@TG_Neil w/ so many resources, Ts need to use their PLN & PLCs and work toward becoming Communities of Learning #FLedChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@therowdykidsin3 standards just rephrased in Engligh? #Fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator May 18 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Hi #FLedChat! Jumping in late.

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@TG_Neil @therowdykidsin3 Good idea. Would be a good poster for lab #Fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:34 PM EDT

Hey @KristinCHarr ... hope all is going well! #FLEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@FLRichter That is a massive mind shift in many areas still. #FLedChat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@TG_Neil What is that? Tell me more! #FLEdChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@KristinCHarr Hey girl! Good 2 C U! #Fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator May 18 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@dkonopelko It's been an interesting week :). #FLedChat

jswiatek May 18 @ 8:35 PM EDT

#fledchat, I'd like to introduce you to #HCPSTeach, a new chat consisting of Hillsborough County teachers. You guys need to know eacheother.

schink10 May 18 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3: The community, multimedia, articles, discussions, etc... #fledchat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Communities of Learning are when Ts bring back what they learned in their PLNs & share with other Ts so everyone benefits #fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator May 18 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 Hi Lisa :). #FLedChat

schink10 May 18 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A3: Having the students find informations is where the learning happens. Handing it to them in a big boring textbook doesn't work. #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@FLRichter agreed. Waiting on y'all to give me answers so I can take back to school lol ;) #Fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@bonnie_strohl @JenWiedenman it depends what you're doing for 'practice' - we practice things we already know how to do #FLEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:37 PM EDT

@dkonopelko Amazon is building a database of resources. It's called Amazon Inspire. #FLedChat

JenWiedenman May 18 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A3: novels, science magazines, OER, online resources that are shared among teachers. Nothing good comes from isolation. #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@jswiatek Yes. I've been seeing the tweets from #HCPSTeach Thanks for bridging the gap. #FLedChat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@TG_Neil How did you get involved in that? #FLEdChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@TG_Neil @dkonopelko sounds interesting When will it become public. Any idea? #Fledchat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@TG_Neil take Your PLC;get districts give PD to supporting independent learning (ie Twitter chat)then having Ts share back in PLC #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@dkonopelko I met someone at @MiamiDevice #FLedChat

nathan_stevens May 18 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@christinalaoshi @FLedChat or with a straight face #fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@jswiatek Thanks for being here, Jerry - good to 'see' you #FLEdChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@FLRichter lol indeed :D #Fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@FLRichter seriously, though. I'm thinking of all my Ts who would REALLY benefit from Twitter chats! ARGH! #Fledchat

amybrowns May 18 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 @FLRichter I think sometimes we get so caught up with likeminded ppl on Twitter we forget there are many not here #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:43 PM EDT

okay--did I freeze, or did we all stop talking? #Fledchat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@bonnie_strohl @TG_Neil actually Communities of Learning are encouraged by @FutureReady #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@amybrowns @FLRichter agreed. Need 2 find a way to get the archives all nice and neat and share w/Ts not on Twitter #Fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:45 PM EDT

All of the #FLedChat archives are available on our website. https://t.co/2K3B32lvQ6 https://t.co/jIgCa274eq

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:43 PM EDT

kmhmartin May 18 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Hi, everyone! Jumping in here from the school board meeting. #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@TG_Neil Right. I need to just stop and look Thx #Fledchat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 think how supported&valued Ts would feel if Ts could get PD hours by documenting Twitter Chats aligned w/ goals #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@kmhmartin Really interesting in that meeting, huh? ;) lol Hi Kim! #Fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:46 PM EDT

How do YOU share resources with your fellow teachers? #FLedChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:47 PM EDT

mainly email. Sometimes I feel like I 'over" share #Fledchat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 @amybrowns you don't share transcripts; you share your Twitter conversations live with others and they share theirs #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@FLRichter agreed. So far, Twitter & Youtube is blocked for Ts and Ss in our district :( #Fledchat

kmhmartin May 18 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A1. We have aging textbooks that don't really support the FL standards. Lots of scramble to make sure T have materials. #fledchat

amybrowns May 18 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 @FLRichter palm meet face #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@FLRichter @amybrowns u mean talk as if I were sharing from a "live" T, instead of a "Twitter" T, so to speak? #Fledchat

kmhmartin May 18 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A2. I think they need them as guides, but as they get comfortable w/standards, then they don't as much if at all. #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:49 PM EDT

I find it interesting that we started talking about textbooks and now are talking about tech access. #FLedChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@TG_Neil LOL We do tend to wander in many directions, don't we? #Fledchat

kmhmartin May 18 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@TG_Neil ISTE Nets, AASL standards (library) are my guides. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 Natural progression I think. It's cool. #FLedChat

amybrowns May 18 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@TG_Neil B/c tech access is the real issue of the day...not textbook access...? #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@amybrowns Because without Tech many Ts feel they must rely on Textbooks. No other options. #FLedChat

mrj_rwp May 18 @ 8:51 PM EDT

#FLedChat Some sort of CMS or LMS to manage all of the links and collate them in one spot. Even just a blog. Benchmarks along the way.

A3. @OpenEd resources, my PLN on Twitter is an awesome resource. The Media Specialists in my district are also awesome! #fledchat

I am lucky to have a great team who likes to share what we find. #FLedchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:53 PM EDT

I don't know if we've answered any of the BIG questions but It has been a great conversation. Don't forget to follow someone new. #FLedChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:54 PM EDT

even now, I find myself anxious. Will I REALLY go back to archives and make notes to share with my Ts? #Fledchat

kmhmartin May 18 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@KristinCHarr Hey, Kristin! #FLedChat

dkonopelko - Moderator May 18 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@kmhmartin Hey Kim! I was late too :). #FLedChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@mrj_rwp maybe Live Binder would be a way to organize links..#Fledchat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:55 PM EDT

Connected Learning Communities is the same as what I was calling Communities of learning #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:55 PM EDT

I refuse to believe it's been an hour already :-| #Fledchat

kmhmartin May 18 @ 8:55 PM EDT

I share resources through Tweets, FB, post on website. #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:55 PM EDT

I think we may have a topic coming up in a few weeks about how to organize resources. #FLedChat https://t.co/YOhIGEoZkK

Looking forward to seeing our textbook circulation desks next week https://t.co/Rowg4idcwt #fledchat

bonnie_strohl May 18 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 Can you talk with them, get them to join next week's #FLedchat?

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@TG_Neil that would be an AWESOME and MUCH needed topic! Great idea! #Fledchat

kmhmartin May 18 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@KristinCHarr Board meeting still going on! Yikes! #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:56 PM EDT

Perfect timing :). #FLedChat https://t.co/9hZtAyg4Zc

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@KristinCHarr What is next week's topic? #FLedchat

kmhmartin May 18 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 @mrj_rwp Or One Note if your district uses Office 365. #FLedChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@bonnie_strohl some have tried to jump in. My buddy @iCoachElm does when she can, but a lot of Ts here are still Twitter shy #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@kmhmartin @mrj_rwp we're a GAFE dristrict. I've shared Docs with the district. Have no idea if it's utilized or not. #Fledchat

kmhmartin May 18 @ 8:58 PM EDT

So glad I popped in tonight! This other thing has been exhausting! #fledchat https://t.co/oEN4ZloB1U

jswiatek May 18 @ 8:58 PM EDT

Next #fledchat will take place on last day of school for students in @CitrusSchools. Will it be a celebratory chat? :)

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 @bonnie_strohl @iCoachElm If I can help in any way, let me know. Maybe a summer f2f session. I'm willing to drive #FLedchat

kmhmartin May 18 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 Hi Lisa! #FLedChat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@kmhmartin B careful--they might have voted you responsible for something ;) #Fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@jswiatek @CitrusSchools Possibly. :-) #FLedChat

FLRichter May 18 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@amybrowns @TG_Neil districts need to look at https://t.co/81TyCqHGKB & https://t.co/04exoYEHQB to find low cost wifi for families #fledchat

JenWiedenman May 18 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Sharing resources - word of mouth with high energy people, then they pass on. Sometimes email also #fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@TG_Neil @bonnie_strohl @iCoachElm that would be great! Maybe meet halfway for lunch and talk one day? #Fledchat

lisab_1964 May 18 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@kmhmartin Hey Kim! :D #FLedchat

TG_Neil - Moderator May 18 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@lisab_1964 @bonnie_strohl @iCoachElm Let's make it happen. Bring some friends along. #FLedChat
