    Q1: What methods do you currently use to effectively share your community's stories? Please share an example, too! #ADEChat
  • Welch_KOPR Dec 19 @ 9:05 PM EST
    Social media is a powerful tool. It can take some time to get teaches and admins on board, but it is the best way to tell your District's story! #adechat

  • theipodteacher Dec 19 @ 9:08 PM EST

  • APRedd Dec 19 @ 9:08 PM EST

    A little late, ryan here from NY. #ADEchat

    A1) Have a blog for my learning environ & Twitter account. Effectively? Families know it is there. Young adults can share their learning artifacts at home too. #ADEChat
  • theipodteacher Dec 19 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1: I love sharing with my community on Twitter as well. My twitter peeps are the best community I could be part of. #adechat
  • nhsdwelch Dec 19 @ 9:09 PM EST
    A1: My school & community uses YouTube & shorter Clips videos to spread news about what is occurring on a daily basis and long-term project updates and initiatives https://t.co/wCKaeVfq58 #ADEChat
  • sstudieschic Dec 19 @ 9:09 PM EST

    Tanya from Fraser, MI. Twitter is without a doubt my favorite way to show what my students are doing. Our district uses our own hashtag so we are searchable and can share our stories. #ADEchat
  • bbucktech Dec 19 @ 9:10 PM EST
    I'm doing a project with 3rd graders this week where they are putting together a Clips video with all the photos and videos from a chain reaction experiment. They are loving all the posters and labels they can add. #ADEchat

  • mr_meighen Dec 19 @ 9:10 PM EST

    I love talking about Making books. So, I’m always willing to connect. #ADEchat
    In reply to @brynmw
  • StirpeCon Dec 19 @ 9:10 PM EST
    A1: For our school we use film to build and create community. My students created an excellent documentary on how film helps to tell their stories. Check out “Behind The Scenes: Pave Film Season Two” https://t.co/SWgLrWqXNR #ADEChat
  • MrsTLeon Dec 19 @ 9:11 PM EST
    Tanya from Fraser, MI. #ADEchat SO excited for his topic today. Currently sitting on a bench in Kohl’s so I can participate!

    Fantastic responses to Q1. Q2 coming up in moments! #ADEChat
  • JeanneHalderson Dec 19 @ 9:12 PM EST
    We share our school story on iTunes. Every teacher in my school submitted something to the book. We used iBooks Author to put our story together. https://t.co/Rmh4pROCTV #ADEChat

    I️ would love to do this with our community! What a great idea! #adechat

    I like that. Master. Lol. #ADEchat
    In reply to @nhsdwelch, @brynmw, @BookCreatorApp
  • cicohen Dec 19 @ 9:13 PM EST
    I love using iBooks Author! Having multiple students contribute to one big work creates a bonding experience while Ss learn about the art of digital storytelling and the technical aspects of the tool. #adechat
    In reply to @ryanorilio
  • StirpeCon Dec 19 @ 9:13 PM EST
    Q2: What is the most important step (aspect?) for students when creating a story that will be shared with others? #ADEChat
  • ryanorilio Dec 19 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1: we’re just starting to leverage Facebook live for events at school. #ADEchat
  • Welch_KOPR Dec 19 @ 9:13 PM EST
    Love this! We use #koproud and so many of our staff use it in their tweets! #adechat

    In reply to @nhsdwelch
  • sstudieschic Dec 19 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A2 - The most important aspect of a story is the HUMAN part. We touch others with our humanity. No one is perfect and we are all in some type of quest to become. It is our humanity that connects us. #adechat
  • mr_meighen Dec 19 @ 9:14 PM EST
    Thanks! Same to you! #ADEChat 🍎
    In reply to @VTruchan
  • nhsdwelch Dec 19 @ 9:15 PM EST
    How is that working out? Any concerns with what may occur in a "live" setting? #ADEChat
    In reply to @ryanorilio
  • theipodteacher Dec 19 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A2: For any sharing, it’s important for the message to be clear. You have a story to tell. Make sure everyone gets it. #adechat
  • cindyherren Dec 19 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A2: taking the time to focus on the process of telling a good story with depth and emotion and voice. The details in the process are important #ADEchat
  • mr_meighen Dec 19 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A2: I think it’s important for students to recognize their audience when telling a story. #ADEChat
  • ryanorilio Dec 19 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A2: perhaps the actual structure of compelling stories... we use the story spine as a tool for writing all the time, but students often struggle with selecting which story to tell and even sometime, what the story itself is. #ADEchat
  • cicohen Dec 19 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A2: Having Ss experience the steps of the writing / storytelling process authentically. #adechat
    • StirpeCon Dec 19 @ 9:13 PM EST
      Q2: What is the most important step (aspect?) for students when creating a story that will be shared with others? #ADEChat
  • KMillerSAIL Dec 19 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A2) If young adults do not make some sort of plan it often falls apart before their can create their story. #ADEChat
  • StirpeCon Dec 19 @ 9:16 PM EST
    Bianca @sstudieschic ...That is most certainly getting "borrowed" and posted in my classroom. #ADEChat

  • VTruchan Dec 19 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A1: My team leader uses Apple Clips to keep parents connected with what is happening on our team. They love something more interesting than just an email. #ADEchat
  • cicohen Dec 19 @ 9:16 PM EST
    Let me know if I can be helpful. #adechat
    In reply to @sstudieschic, @ryanorilio
  • ryanorilio Dec 19 @ 9:16 PM EST
    Yes, definitely concerns. And we’ve only just started to use the tool, but we have had a good response from the community, and were being pretty selective with which “events” are stream-worthy. #adechat
    In reply to @nhsdwelch
  • theipodteacher Dec 19 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A2: Passion! #adechat
  • LLacrosse Dec 19 @ 9:16 PM EST
    A2: Helping students share their voice and finding connections to other learners. #ADEchat
  • RTexter Dec 19 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2: considering their audience #ADEchat
  • nhsdwelch Dec 19 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2: The key is purpose. Why are they sharing a story? I worked with @VTruchan and students to bridge age/community gaps. Their product: https://t.co/vAvIY9fWF8 #ADEChat

    @mr_meighen, @GingerLewman wrote an excellent blog "5+ Reasons to Publish Student Work | LifePractice Learning" https://t.co/mX5pRtSuzI #ADEChat She addresses this. You are so right, audience!
    • mr_meighen Dec 19 @ 9:15 PM EST
      A2: I think it’s important for students to recognize their audience when telling a story. #ADEChat

    Is a good story without passion a good story? #ADEchat

  • JeanneHalderson Dec 19 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2: The most important aspect of creating a story is the process. The product doesn't have to be perfect. Students learn from the process. #ADEChat
  • cicohen Dec 19 @ 9:19 PM EST
    Yes! The best part of the tool is how it allows for all different types of media to work together to tell the story, and it becomes clickable and interactive for the audience. #adechat

    I haven’t read this post but I agree. Three days after iBooks Author was introduced, my students published a book. It made all the difference to them. #ADEchat It’s still the story I share everywhere. #MyPassion
    In reply to @StirpeCon, @mr_meighen, @GingerLewman

    I’ll have to check that out. Thanks for sharing! #ADEChat

    Can you tell a good story without passion? #adechat
    In reply to @theipodteacher, @nhsdwelch
  • bethany_nugent Dec 19 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A1: I use Clips to share what our Ss are up to on a daily basis! :) The parents love it and it has helped their classroom Ts keep up-to-date with what's up in art! I also use time-lapse to show the process! :) We primarily use Facebook to keep families in the loop! #ADEchat
    In reply to @nhsdwelch
  • StirpeCon Dec 19 @ 9:20 PM EST
    I tell my students all the time, all stories have a purpose and a passion. Otherwise, why right. Amazing point Jon! #ADEchat

  • theipodteacher Dec 19 @ 9:21 PM EST
    I don’t think so. #ADEchat I see teachers telling “good stories” all the time without passion. Kids don’t buy it. #ADEchat
    In reply to @ryanorilio, @nhsdwelch
  • StirpeCon Dec 19 @ 9:21 PM EST
    Excellent point. It does not have to be perfect! #ADEchat Adding that to the poster too!

  • LLacrosse Dec 19 @ 9:22 PM EST
    I share my work (and struggles) with them a lot. I also acknowledge how I’m trying to improve with whatever. I think it helps to build in front of and with students. #cocreators #ADEchat
    In reply to @sstudieschic
  • sstudieschic Dec 19 @ 9:22 PM EST
    They can see through you like glass. I find my best lessons are ones that I am giving my all in. The students respond to passion not a puppet.. Good point Jon #ADEChat

    Q3: What resources can schools offer to the community to give voice? #ADEChat
  • RTexter Dec 19 @ 9:22 PM EST
    Curious how storytelling affects the way teachers arrange their room. #ADEchat
  • bbucktech Dec 19 @ 9:23 PM EST
    LOVE! #ADEchat
    In reply to @bethany_nugent, @nhsdwelch
  • theipodteacher Dec 19 @ 9:24 PM EST
    A3: I e thought about the idea of creating a district @Flipgrid so parents and community members can have a voice. #adechat
  • sstudieschic Dec 19 @ 9:24 PM EST
    A3- I enjoy story core and I think if communities had some type of place where people could share their stories uninhibited, it would create an even greater sense of community! I'd love to have a Confession Cam (like the Bachelor or ANTM) at our school #ADEChat
  • bethany_nugent Dec 19 @ 9:24 PM EST
    A2: Feeling comfortable! Ss must feel safe to take the risk of sharing their story, esp. when it's personal. It's important to give them some structure & allow for peer review/edit so they're confident with the results - that way they'll continue taking ed. risks! :) #ADEChat
    In reply to @StirpeCon
  • theipodteacher Dec 19 @ 9:25 PM EST
    Room changes based on purpose rarely happen from what I see. We are working on it but we have a long way to go. I love the idea of fluidity in the classroom. #adechat
    In reply to @RTexter
  • ryanorilio Dec 19 @ 9:25 PM EST
    A3: through proper storytelling, schools can give their communities something to be proud about. #ADEchat
  • LLacrosse Dec 19 @ 9:25 PM EST
    That’s a fantastic idea! #adechat
  • nhsdwelch Dec 19 @ 9:25 PM EST
    Could you imagine doing this during board meetings? Reactions to concerts? During open house? Could be very cool! #ADEChat
  • sstudieschic Dec 19 @ 9:25 PM EST
    I love it. I have a @Flipgrid topic for new teachers that i haven't implemented yet.. I guess I better get on it huh? #ADEChat

    A3: Some might not have the video or tech resources to not only archive their story, but, to get it to audiences that will long outlive them. Schools do. Students do. Use the opportunity to serve that purpose! #ADEChat
  • cindyherren Dec 19 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A3: A couple years ago my students created a multitouch book and content for visitors to the zoo. Great to see the process of purposeful research and the perspective voice that young learners give #ADEchat
  • Welch_KOPR Dec 19 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A3: Opportunities for the community to participate in lessons, discussions, projects, curriculum development, etc. People like to give meaningful input and see their ideas come to life. #ADEchat
  • bethany_nugent Dec 19 @ 9:27 PM EST
    So true! Even in art, it's way more about the process & Ss perseverance than it is about the final piece they put on the refrigerator! That's one of the biggest reasons I share time-lapse and clips of work in progress - so Ss understand the importance of the journey! #ADEchat

  • APRedd Dec 19 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3: lots of parent/teacher communication. The school as a whole communicates through social media. The most post engagement is on Facebook #ADEChat
  • KarrinBurns Dec 19 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A1: I just published our first book using iBooks Author today! Written collaboratively with my students- still under review #ADEChat
  • StirpeCon Dec 19 @ 9:28 PM EST
    I agree Jeanne. I also find that for some this can also be the scariest step, trusting in the voices of the students. I think this is what helped so many of us to become ADEs #ADEchat
