@EdTechJoe Talking about the "Teachers Teaching Teachers Institute" in CA where they discussed the new tools etc.
Looking forward to the connected educator community and edu 'Crowd Leaders' meeting and collaborating with more people from the #Cmgr community. #ECGlobal
🎉👏🏻@GoNoodle gets students moving and learning to have fun! Brain research proves movement in the classroom increases academic performance! #goNoodleGlobal#ECGlobal
My building created a STEM lab that used to be a science room in the elementary school. All of our elementary schools this year are having STEM labs created. I piloted the STEM program in my building. We just finished writing the curriculum for everyone to use for September.
Share YOUR Favorite ECGlobal memories with us throughout the event by uploading your videos and images to https://t.co/tWiSrJKjfT#ECglobal is in full swing! First round of sessions is happening right now! visit https://t.co/EcryJt8NEq to join in the fun! @techamys
#Techinelem#ECGlobal#STEAM hello from India, we have a dedicated lab in school, but mostly it is in the classroom & I store the materials in the class cupboard
#gonoodleglobal@GoNoodle is set up in content areas making it easy to search for that perfect interactive video to get your S moving and learning! #ECGlobal
Hi @travellingtale! I just saw your website during #ECGlobal! I saw you try to match up similar age levels. I work with 5-8th graders. Would there be groups to match them up with or is it more elementary focused? Either way I'll pass it along to some folks I know. Looks awesome!
#Techinelem#ECGlobal#STEAM#GoogleEDU#Thinglink
Reflection via google forms that are attached to Thinglink with questions that review: Plan, what worked well, what didn't, how did you improve on your design/challenge?
"Standards are important, but it's called the World's Largest Lesson for a reason." "They're cross curricular, but you know life is cross curricular." Some good quotes during a session led by @edtechjoe and Barb Doten on #TeachSDGs. Lots of folks sharing. #ECGlobal
A.1 My STEAM lessons I conduct usually in my classroom, but I love to have workshops everywhere I could. About nature is the best learn in nature. I orginanize STEM workshops for children in Mensa Serbia #Techinelem#ECGlobal#STEAM
#Techinelem#ECGlobal#STEAM
I did as well, but then you always have the same kids answer, either via journaling or integrating a google form/questionnaire their VOICE is heard and gives you a better idea of their understanding!
"What are you doing to take action?"
via the Teachsdgs & the California Global Education Project
Loving hearing about the soft skills that are being incorporated into these young leaders of the future too!
https://t.co/fljbV3kFtO#ecglobal#DigiLearnScot#WeAreES
Change in Schedule- join @excoba on periscope (not flipgrid) for his session "If the world was my home!" next hour (12pm CST) - watch through Twitter, or Zoom in the Qiqo Chat Room #5! #ECGlobal#iftheworldwasmyhome
In class I usually follow Curriculum, but sometimes when is some event or important day for STEM I love to organize workshops out of my school #Techinelem#ECGlobal#STEAM
#Techinelem#ECGlobal#STEAM
Yes you can create in Google Slide then assign to each student so they have their own copy to submit. I would be happy to send you links to ones I've created and you could copy/manipulate as you wish!
All my classes are in a Google Classroom.
So - Digital Task Exit Ticket : Create a link in their classroom for them to answer specific reflection questions?
Those are great ideas. As well not everything needs to always be 'formally' assessed. My Ss' number sense and computational thinking has improved so much thanks to regular coding and bc of that they do better on traditional math work/assessments. #teachinelem
Educators advocating for their fav Tech and #EdTech tools without a sales rep or phone call in sight at #ECGlobal.
In #EdTech sales and/or making cold calls? Be afraid... Your future might be as bright as the gas lamplighters when electricity came along

Educators join me today, Friday, July 20, 2018 @8 pm EST for my session "Empowering Students" based on the April release of Seven Insights for Teaching Success.
We will be using Twitter Chat and https://t.co/fxMK3UZ3oO#ECGlobal@EdChangeGlobal@7Insights
Hello, Meredith Schnick and I am a #dlpcoaching or digital coach. This will be in 10th year in education. 9 years teaching math and this is my first year as a digital coach #ECglobal#TsSharePT
A2: https://t.co/G7ph6ngAr5 saves grading time. All Ts at our school require students to submit written assignments through @grammarly b5 turning in. If we think it hasn't been, we return and don't grade until it is. #ECglobal#TsSharePT
#tssharept#ECGlobal A1&2:
Noel, Secondary ELA Teacher from NC.
Google Forms help with productivity. Answers go straight to a spreadsheet--easy to track.
Much respect to people who are comfortable with video, technology and multi-tasking... Mention this today for no reason what's so ever.
Has nothing to do with #ECGlobal, Zoom or Twitter ;)
Agree, I feel like I have gained so much time since using Classroom. Ss are helped as well as all resources for a class are found in one location. #ECGlobal#TsSharePT
A3: Extensions are my favorite! I think I have a slight addiction to them, LOL. My favorite Productivity ones for Ss are Homework Tracker, Block and Focus (warns if you open a marked website), Tab Resize (splits screen), and Save to Drive. #EcGlobal#TsSharePT
Keep has saved me sooooooooooo much time. I love sharing shopping lists with my husband, to-do lists with my IA's, and storing IEP text I use over and over! #TsSharePT#ECGlobal
Q3: I am not sure of the Chrome Extension I use but there is one attached to our online gradebook- using the tab button moves from one student record to the next- super easy and helpful! I would love to hear about other helpful Chrome Extensions out there! #tssharePT#ECGlobal
A3: For Ts I love @alicekeeler Quick Share Screen Shot (auto save to Drive and copies url to clipboard) and Print Friendly and PDF (Turns webpage text into pdf form - and you can delete chuncks) #ecglobal#tssharept
A4. My favorite is in Forms, the "Go to Section Based on Answer" feature when you set up can take a student to a tutorial if answer wrong or extension if correct #TsSharePT#ECGlobal
A4: From the Tools Menu, Explore is my favorite. Research, drag text/images, and cite - all without leaving your document, slide, or drawing! Such a time saver! #TsSharept#ecglobal
Hello, I am from Serbia. I am primary teacher who love STEAM and coding- unplugged, with robots or with educational games for coding #Techinelem#ECGlobal#coding#STEAM@chuttonMES
#Techinelem#ECGlobal#coding
So very true, the most important thing, regardless of the profession is PS and collaboration! Coding even helps our little ones learn to take turns and look at one another when they speak!
Q2 I think it's important for every S to learn to code even if that doesn't mean they'll have a career later that's directly related to it. Coding is such a great life skill with problem solving, collaboration, number sense, computational thinking, etc. #Techinelem
It is easy to use. When you are on a website or an article that you want to read, you click the pocket icon. It then saves it to a list for you to read at your convenience. #TsSharePT#ECGlobal
A4: From the insert menu in Docs, you can insert a Table of Contents. It instantly Creates a clickable link to each heading in a document. Great for lots of notes with sections, etc. #ecglobal#tssharept
If using Google Classroom, there is a new feature to lock student screens when taking a Quiz in Google Forms. A much needed feature for tests. #tssharept#ecglobal
A4: Using the response validation in Google forms (lower right hand corner when creating questions). Students can't move on until they enter the answer correctly. Will give hints and color signals to students. #ECglobal#TsSharePT
A5: So remember that table of contents thing I shared about Docs? There is an add-on that will turn the TOC into a sliding side bar so those links can be seen from anywhere in a document. BOOM! #tssharept#ecglobal
A5: Tools for Docs and Power Tools for Sheets provide lots of options for manipulating text and data in those applications. So many time savers! #ecglobal#tssharept
Q.1: No I don't think that. Coding is only instrument for development of algorithmic thinking. It is a 21st century skill that will not have all children in the world... :-( #Techinelem#ECGlobal#coding#STEAM@chuttonMES
When you have time, bahahahah, I know, what time, go to the add on store for each app and just look around. It is amazing what all has been created, and so many people don't even know they exist! #ecglobal#tssharept
Is everyone aware that with the Quiz feature in Google Forms, it auto grades and puts everything into a Google Sheet, so you don't actually need Flubaroo anymore? Unless there is something I am missing that Flubaroo does that the Form Quiz wouldn't. #tssharept#ecglobal
Global learning community from the comfort of your own home or on the go #ECGlobal. Learning basic design and types of Infographics and how to use @easel_ly
I am still learning how to use Google Forms to its greatest potential- being able to put everything into a Google Sheet will be a time saver. #TssharePT#ECGlobal
@Ozobot and Edison robots are also great to use with or without tech. It's neat the different code designs Ss can make with markers and the Ozobot can perform the code or the Edison will respond to clapping #Techinelem
A6: I have the Gtasks App on my phone. It syncs with Google Calendar, specifically the "tasks" calendar everyone is given, and allows you to enter tasks from your phone. Helps so much having everything connected on all devices! #ecglobal#tssharept
#Techinelem#ECGlobal#coding
Has anyone tried Bloxels yet, I purchased them at the end of last school year and am looking forward to working with them, @BloxelsBuilder just came out with a teacher manual / lessons this past summer!
Yes, there are limitations to the Quiz feature, so sometimes I still have to use Flubaroo. I'm blanking on the specifics at the moment, but I will try to remember them and let you know . #ECglobal#TsSharePT
FREEBIE TIME! Here is a link to a slide presentation with all of the tools I shared today plus many more I didn't have time to mention! Hope you find it useful. #tssharept
A1. Hi! I’m JoyAnn, a teacher librarian at a 5-8 in Indiana. I started getting more interested in #globaled last year during @globalreadaloud and hope to do even more with it this year. #connectglobalEDU#ECGlobal
A2. Students having global connections provides them authentic audiences, exposes them to other points of view, teaches communication skills, and opens their eyes to the world outside of the town in which they reside. #ECGlobal#connectglobalEDU
A1) William from Scotland - not an educator but my 7yr old son turned Pirate Sky Guy last yr by skipping school to go to another where a Skype call was taking place.
He's now trying to think of ways to get his class and school connected #BeMorePirate#ConnectGlobalEdu#ECGlobal
A2: I love how connecting outside of our school helps Ss feel compassion as well as realize how alike they are to the same age Ss in other states and countries. They learn so much! #ecglobal#connectglobaledu
A2) Based on personal experience I've helped educators and their communities to work on all kinds of projects through Twitter and collaborated with Silicon Valley startups because of and facilitate by tools like Skype. #ConnectGlobalEDU#ECGlobal
A3: I have a wide range of Ss - some who are scared completely of web sharing, and some who aren't cautious enough. Teaching Good Digital Citizenship Skills and showing samples of good connections is important b4 having students connect. #connectglobaledu#ecglobal
A3) Contrarian thought. The only Scottish eg in @ThisIsNewPower is a school girl who became an ISIS recruiter
If we're NOT teaching them these tools in edu are we keeping students safe? If marginalised IRL, do they find belonging in the wrong places? #ConnectGlobalEDU#ECGlobal
A3. We need to be aware of who will have access to things and who the audiences will be. Some things may need passwords or an extra layer. Teaching kids to keep private information out of the conversations. #connectglobalEDU#ecglobal
I do believe that, as educators, we are responsible to educate students to navigate the world they live in (even the digital part) If we aren't teaching them appropriate ways to use digital tools, they are likely learning inappropriate ways from peers. #connectglobaledu#ecglobal
A4 The first time I had a socially challenged young person come up to me and thank me for helping him make his first real friend, I was hooked. How can I deny that opportunity to any of my Ss. #ecglobal#connectglobaledu
A4. After we had our school participate in Global Read Aloud last year with A Long Walk to Water, one group of 6th graders were so inspired by the experiences that they started Wishes 4 Wells and working to raise money to help others access water. #connectglobalEDU#ECglobal
I have decided to always teach SDGs after being introduced to them through the #sos4loveproject last year. My students did amazing things and met amazing people! #connectglobaledu#ecglobal
So cool! I have it on my list to figure out @cospaces_edu, but haven't gotten it done yet. You are inspiring me to move it to the top of my list. #connectglobaledu#ecglobal
A1 Hi everyone, sorry for being late. I am Christiane, elementary teacher grades 1-3 from Berlin, Germany.
I love to connect my students to classes around the world #connectglobaledu#ecglobal
A4: I watched a student demo our VR Field Trip to Pakistan project and his reaction was "huh, the only thing I've heard about Pakistan is that there are wars there but that didn't look like war." He wasn't even connected to #PenPals yet + still his perspective shifted! #ECGlobal
A2: I support teachers all over the world and they all tell me the same thing - "My kids go from school to home and that's their whole world. They need to know what else is out there!" #ECGlobal
A5: By far the easiest is @bellylaughday Global Belly Laugh Day. Stop what you are doing for 1 minute and let out a huge belly laugh! #ecglobal#connectglobaledu
A5: I'm also always impressed at the connections Ts make over Twitter. Even connecting your students to an author, educator, or expert from another country is a great way to bring a global perspective into your classroom! #ECGlobal
A5: @PenPalSchools has connections for Ss and Ts - it's always inspiring to see the different ways that Ts connect to expand their collaborations! It's the easiest way to dip your toe into the #GlobalEd pool (or dive straight into the deep end, tbh) #ECGlobal
So many things you can do with it. Last year My students created main characters for a book they then wrote about the adventures of that character in @bookcreator Also brought characters to life through 3Dpens. #connectglobaledu#ecglobal
Hope to see you wonderful #collaborators for my @EdChangeGlobal session Life Beyond the Classroom. We’re talking self care and creativity too.
Well be using @Flipgrid so we can share, learn, grow. #ecglobal I’ll use #LifeBeyondECG2018 to share updates on Twitter
Sometimes there's a privilege to have a presenter 1 on 1 and learn all you need about Podcasts for Learning! Let's have our Ss create #podcasts and have them published on the page we're building as support for #textbooks#ECGlobal
A5 We participate in @globalmathtask - #gmttc
it is up to you how often and how much students engage in the challenges and very easy to integrate in your lessons #connectglobaledu#ecglobal
Hope to see you wonderful #collaborators for my @EdChangeGlobal session Life Beyond the Classroom. We’re talking self care and creativity too.
Well be using @Flipgrid so we can share, learn, grow. #ecglobal I’ll use #LifeBeyondECG2018 to share updates on Twitter
A6: Creating Connections that last beyond a project is a wonderful thing to do, but requires commitment from both teachers. It is work, but, in my opinion, well worth it! Friendships will form that last beyond the school year. #ecglobal#connectglobaledu
#ECGLOBAL#ConnectGlobalEDU Thank you for sharing! I am compiling collection to share with others! Please feel free to contribute and find some more ideas here: Community Collaborations https://t.co/QewUwnKIv0
A6: The Global Read Aloud (deeper connecting), Teach SDGs, SOS4LoveProject (students organizing solutions for SDGs), Reach out through FB and Twitter asking for Ts who want to connect. Make it happen. #ecglobal#connectglobaledu
This so aligns to something @ShakeUpLearning talks about - make learning dynamic. Give kids room to continue exploring beyond the due date. Help them own their learning. Be committed to facilitating and not controlling the process. #ecglobal#connectglobaledu#shakeuplearning
A6: I am constantly dreaming of a class Twitter feed to share work with a global audience, connect with experts, and conduct research. Poll & comments are great to capture perspectives + opinions! Hashtags make it easy to target specific countries or industries. #ECGlobal
Follow me on Twitter as I share what I love about connecting globally often. I've found some new people to follow as well. Hope the rest of your #ecglobal experience is amazing! #connectglobaledu
Looking forward to reading through these as it’s something I want to share with educators in my district as a way to help make reading/writing even more relevant. #connectglobaledu#ecglobal
A6 we take part in a very interesting project for the third time next year: app 10 classes around the world create+share books made with book creator. Topics are introducing the own country and school, typical feasts and festivities #connectglobaledu#ecglobal@mshsimpson1
Andplusalsotoo @Flipgrid can be accessed anytime anywhere. It’s asynchronous. So even if you can’t join us at 4 you can join anytime today or in the future because it will be available as a resource for you to learn, grow, & connect. #ECGlobal#LifeBeyondECG2018#flipgridfever
Yes!! It’s the kind of reading that invites you to participate in the educational shift that needs to happen so we can better serve our students. Change our mindset we must! #ECglobal#ConnectGlobalEDU
To live a life beyond the classroom is to actively, thoughtfully, & intentionally engage in teacher self care. I’ll share a few resources you might find useful. Don’t forget the @Flipgrid session too. More information @Flipgridhttps://t.co/HRUvUY3vVT#LifeBeyondECG2018#ecglobal
Challenge #2 is starting Now! To find out who won our first challenge, and what the next challenge will be, join in here! https://t.co/lZfIGiTsxF#ECGlobal#challenges@techamys will be broadcasting at 4:30pm CST!
A twitter chat I can celebrate, join this one to find the question and ours next Thursday to chat about the formative assessments. #EducatorFirst#testing#EdNetworkChat
#cncting4kids Goes Global tonight at 10 PM EST on Twitter. If you’re not out on the town living it up, come party with @Katiemc827 & I at #ECGlobal. One Question, One Challenge, Endless Possibilities. Qs here: https://t.co/GXqZ0Wk8VX
Totally OK. Let me know if you figure out how to stay quiet. I am so high on #ECGlobal I feel like, ideas popping in so fast I can hardly keep track with my own thoughts. #teachersteachingteachers
Right!! It can literally knock the wind out of your zeal and passion for the work. It’s good to talk about the entirety of what this work requires. Heart and soul and compassion but also good #selfcare#LifeBeyondECG2018#ECglobal

Congratulations @fergask you've won a 1-year subscription @Belouga_ Continued Learning Community for participating in #ECGlobal. DM me to claim your prize. WOO HOO!
Getting ready to talk easy tech tools to bring into humanities classes. Here's my presentation (aka just a list) in case anyone wants it https://t.co/O0YyJOCc5U#ECglobal
So fun playing @GooseChaseEDU Gave me ideas of how I can use this tool to elevate some lessons. Thanks @EdChangeGlobal team for putting together a great challenge that also teaches! #ecglobal
Oh My! How many @EdChangeGlobal sessions can you do at once??? LOL Twitter Chat, Voxer, and Zoom. Why Yes! Yes, you can. That, my friends, is the power of these here internets.
#alwayslearning#happylearner#ecglobal
Hey @MattEduTech thanks for the informative presentation! I had no idea @google photo could do all those things. Whew! Can't wait to try it out. #ecglobal
Welcome! Before we start learning more about #globaled, let’s learn more about each other! Where are you from? What do you teach? If you could take your students anywhere in the world, where would you take them and why? #PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchool
We went a bit overboard on the hashtags (just so excited!) So let’s use #ECGlobal as the main one. Our Tweets will include #PenPalChat and #PenPalSchools so folks can find the chat, but feel free to only use #ECGlobal in your responses! #sorry
Welcome #ECGlobal! I hope you're excited to share and learn more about #globaled! First, introduce yourself - where are you from? What do you teach? If you could take your Ss anywhere in the world, where would you take them and why?
Welcome! Before we start learning more about #globaled, let’s learn more about each other! Where are you from? What do you teach? If you could take your students anywhere in the world, where would you take them and why? #PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchool
A1: Ss are exposed to different ideas, beliefs, histories, and perspectives when they connect with people who are from different places than they are. #ECGlobal
A1 to empower and make them aware that even though they are young, they can still work with other students around the world to bring awareness to Global Problems #penpalschools#ECglobal@TeachSDGs
A2 We manily use @SkypeClassroom , but also @Seesaw Blogs, OneNote, Google Hangouts... we are willing to learn any TOOL in order to enable powerful collaberations!#ECGLOBAL#PenPalCHats
Hi I am a 1stGrade Teacher in Texas, If we could go anywhere, it would be to visit sea turtles and see first hand the efforts being made to save them. #penpalchat#ecglobal

So fun playing @GooseChaseEDU Gave me ideas of how I can use this tool to elevate some lessons. Thanks @EdChangeGlobal team for putting together a great challenge that also teaches! #ecglobal
A4 Mainly student ownership of their learning! They are invested when they are empowered as Solution Solvers and not information absorbents! #PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchools
#GlobalEd isn't just about engaging students or developing #empathy. Think about your learning goals - how can they be improved by connecting to global perspectives? #ECGlobal
A5 You have to be super tech savvy to connect your students. Not true! There are easy-to-use resources AND you can always learn alongside your students. #ECGlobal
A5 You have to speak the same language to connect. Not necessarily! You can learn languages through connections, or there are tools available to translate. #ECGlobal
A5 Biggest myth that prevents connections: GETTING STARTED! We need to stop thinking of all the ways it could go wrong and start giving ownership of learning to our students! We never stopped using pencils because they are sharp, or did we? #PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchools
Brian Costello says "Be braggy. You’ve done something special. Don’t feel ashamed to tell people, to be proud of what you’ve done." What a fabulous message to all our #gamechangers@EdChangeGlobal today! Enjoying my first #VoxerChat Aspiring Authors #ECGlobal
🙌 I feel like this could apply to SO MANY awesome teaching practices/strategies/tools. Getting started is often the hardest part when you're doing something new in the classroom. But I always remember that we challenge Ss and ask them to do new things everyday! #ECGlobal
A6 Research is always an easy way to start. If you're not ready to build in a #global connection, ask your Ss to find them! Challenge Ss to consider a global perspective. Google is all you need! #ECGlobal
Did you know you can mute/unmute tabs in Google chrome?!! How cool is that and something I'll use because I move across tabs during presentations. Thanks for this great tip @MattEduTech#ecglobal#learningAHA
A7 If you're already doing #PBL and you haven't connected your project globally, you're too close not to! Find a global audience, collaborators, or new friends to learn from. #ECGlobal
Be sure as you are all sharing and participating in our challenges that you're tweeting out your creations using #ECGlobal please! and share them on @instagram we well.. to build a buzz and excitement the #globalcollaboration and #friendlycompetition!

Thank you for participating with me this Friday. Please let me know your name, where you are located and what you wish to gain from our Twitter Chat session on Empowering Students.
Q1: Who are you? Where are you located? What would you like to gain today?
After a few years of participating, I just finished my first #ECGlobal session as a facilitator! Whew. Here's the link to the slides (lots of stuff within the slides are linked too). https://t.co/I5GFlAbWsZ#gra18
#PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchools A1 I want to connect my Ss with their peers around the world because they like authentic scenarios and audiences so full of diversity and cultural bonds.
Hi Donna, I’m the principal & curicullum designer @CEBCroatia. I am also Teacher Trainer & Consultant. I’ve recently finished and loved #7insights. Thank you ❤️ #ECglobal
We are live on the Twitter Chat. Let me know who you are, from where you are joining us, and what you hope to gain from our session on Empowering Students.

That’s a great way to empower students by allowing them to take on responsibility in learning environments. In my experience this gives them incentive to come to class early and allows them to take pride in the operations of the class.
In reply to
@Butkovicedu, @ladyflyer7, @CEBCroatia
#PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchools A5 One misconception is overlooking the enhancing and inspiring side of diversity working collaboratively and cooperatively.
Absolutely. I believe that it is imperative that in 21st Century classrooms the teacher should take a facilitator role and assist the students in their unique educational journeys. #7insights#ECGlobal#EmpoweringStudents
#PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchools A 6 They can work on PBL applying Design Thinking skills on real world problems to solve them and develop awareness regarding global issues.
#7Insights#EmpoweringStudents#ECGlobal
Q3: Thinking about the presentation of your classroom, does the design, decoration and organization of materials encourage students to be creative and innovative?
#PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchools A7 Global collaboration can help find different ways of applying stages of design thinking in PBL : Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test with feedback and reflection.
If you are up at 10pm CST check out @teachermike72's third session about active listening for #ECGlobal ! I l learned so much I can take back to my classroom!
#PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchools A8 Global connections in authentic scenarios have helped my students learn vocabulary , grammar and global learning skills in context.
A3: If I was back in the classroom, I would focus more on getting my kids involved in the design process and space instead of focusing on a particular theme. The last few years in the classroom I started to implement #flexibleseating, and we loved it! @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
#7Insights#EmpoweringStudents#ECGlobal
Q3: Thinking about the presentation of your classroom, does the design, decoration and organization of materials encourage students to be creative and innovative?
A3. I’m trying to redesign the #Makerspace a bit to display some student work and resources. Trying to think of a way to put some of the materials in the main part of the library. Also want to declutter some of the library decor this year and simplify a bit. #7insights#ECGlobal
Seeing educators get excited about doing PD on their own time makes me do a happy dance (and I did my own to JLo's Let's Get Loud for the GooseChase Challenge) @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
#7Insights Students must know that you care about them as individuals before they will allow you to shape and mold their minds with your information. It is also really important that you relay to them why what you are teaching matters to them! #ECglobal
Welcome! This chat is a #collaborative brainstorm! We’ll be providing questions stems and asking you to design Qs that you can use in your class. By the end of this chat, you should have a LOT of great ideas for next year! #PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchools
Icebreaker: What is your favorite thing about project-based learning? Or, if you’re new to PBL, what about PBL are you most excited about? #PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchools
Q4: In what ways do you communicate with your students, parents and community about what is going on in your classroom? #7Insights#EmpoweringStudents#ECGlobal
Hi! I'm Jessica, the Community Manager at @PenPalSchools! Former high school #sped teacher in NYC. I love how #PBL helps students learn how to take ownership of their own learning! #ECGlobal
A1: Well written essential questions are important to maintain the focus of the project. Students should always be able to real themselves back in by going back to the essential question. #ECGlobal#PenPalChat
The essential question frames the exploration, investigation, creative work and collaboration--it opens the door to the possibilities and promise of PBL #penpalchat
A1 An essential question provokes thinking and curiosity. What can be learned without that? However, in the #ibpyp we use a range of questions mostly generated by students based on a central idea - kind of like an enduring understanding. #PenPalChat#ECGlobal
The essential question frames the exploration, investigation, creative work and collaboration--it opens the door to the possibilities and promise of PBL #penpalchat
Enduring understanding - that idea is definitely going to stick with me. How do you support students to generate their own questions? #ECGlobal#PenPalChat
A2 An essential question should be debateable, not ‘yes/no’. It also shouldn’t be value-laden or leading to a specific answer or goal. #PenPalChat#ECGlobal
Accept all suggestions at first, then revisit throughout the inquiry. Evaluate each question, toss some out, elevate some to ‘essential’ status, revise. #PenPalChat#ECGlobal
We often share the topic's big idea, rationale, examples a week or so ahead to give Ss time to explore on their own, then we begin class exploration. #penpalchat

@Jessicaraealt, @BarMillEDU, @PenpalSchools
A3. How can we improve the plight of refugees? How can the school welcome students who are new to the area? How can students improve how they embrace other cultures? How can world improve things for refugees? We’ll be reading Refugee for #gra18. #PenPalChat#ECGlobal
#PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchools A2 A great essential question may consist of an identified state of affairs , an empathetic approach to it and a goal oriented quest to set the ground for hypotheses and subsequent queries.
A3: How can fertilizer improve soil? How can vegetation improve water quality? How can emuslfiers improve salad dressing? How can carbon improve steel? #ECGlobal#PenPalChat
These internets are on fire today. Hard to keep up, but worth it to listen, learn, collaborate, dream, & remember.
Just keep showing up. Keep doing good work. Keeping fine tuning. Keep pursuing. Keep sharing. Keep on keeping on!
#ecglobal#lifebeyondECG2018#myreadingpln
A5. What impact does fake news and inaccurate resources have on us? What impact do quality resources have on your learning? What impact do the books offered have on your learning? What impact does GRA have on you and others around the world? #PenPalChat#ECglobal
It's a pleasure Kathryn! Hope you find the visual data useful... Hope that we can develop the map in ways that will help the #ECGlobal community in a number of ways.
Thank you Erika! It was my first time to design a grip and I definitely had some mishaps, but it seems to be working out now. Excited to hear your thoughts. So much learning and collaborating. It's amazing! #ecglobal#alwayslearning#lifebeyondecg2018
And we have our winners! Not only the top 1-2 leaders but because of all of the great participation, we're giving away a lot of prizes! DM @DebAtchison for instructions about claiming your prize! #ECGlobal
A7. If you were in charge of the library, what would you change? In charge of the Makerspace? In charge of GRA? In charge of the school? In charge of SLT? In charge of equity or PAWS initiatives? In charge of the community? In charge of the country? #PenPalChat#ECglobal
10 Minutes until "#cncting4kids Goes Global" at #ECGlobal! We hope you'll join us for one question, one challenge and great connections and conversation!
Looking forward to attending @kat_goyette@techcoachjuarez session about making professional learning great again!!! This is a session that I have been wanting to see for a while!! They will be in Room 3, in about 10 minutes! Join here https://t.co/kfd0MBXGdZ#ECGlobal
#PenPalChat#ECGlobal#PenPalSchools A 4 How would you design a new learning scenario that would make learning more enjoyable , practical and socially relevant ?
A8. How might your community change if it was located in another country (insert name of country relevant to the learning)? How might your community change if you found a cause you’re passionate about? #PenPalChat#ECglobal
Brian Costello says "Be braggy. You’ve done something special. Don’t feel ashamed to tell people, to be proud of what you’ve done." What a fabulous message to all our #gamechangers@EdChangeGlobal today! Enjoying my first #VoxerChat Aspiring Authors #ECGlobal
INTRODUCTIONS - Share your name, location, role and what other #ECGlobal sessions you enjoyed already or look forward to later on. Bonus: Add a GIF that shares how you are feeling about this weekend ahead. #cncting4kids
Mike, Tech Integrator/TOSA from Lake Shore CSD in NY. I am just joining into the #ECGlobal fun now after a day of travel with family. Can’t wait to join more sessions over the remaining time. As for the weekend ahead...#cncting4kids
I’m Steve, a Tech Integrator from Canandaigua, NY. I’m excited to participate in this #ECGlobal chat, and to watch some baseball this weekend! #cncting4kids
QUESTION - We often ask students to stay curious as we help them become lifelong learners. Curiosity is often the first step toward learning. What are you most curious about related to the future of education and/or learning? #cncting4kids#ECGlobal#CBLchat#staycurious
A - I have LOTS of curiosities but am most curious about what professional learning will look like 5-10 years from now. How will technology impact this? #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
Woot woot! I am more of a #cncting4kids party crasher. #ECGlobal seemed like a great place to share the awesome hashtag and the great conversation you all bring to the table each month!
Shoutout to @Jessicaraealt and @PenpalSchools for leading a great #penpalchat during #ecglobal. I loved the stems as prompts. It was great practice for me to think about how to design essential questions in my role. Thank you! (Go check out their stems using #penpalchat.)
So excited to be giving out amazing prizes from our #ECGlobal sponsors! Make sure to participate in the challenges and tweet out your favorite things from @EdChangeGlobal to win prizes.
Most curious about how we will find ways to bring the world and connect with Ss and Ts all over the world through advancements in VR. It’s already so incredible. I also wonder if professional learning for Ts will be more hands on to help model it for Ss. #cncting4kids#ECglobal
That bell can get in the way of so much. As they say, the most dangerous phrase in education is "we've always done it that way." #WhatIf there were no bells? I assume most would cringe at the thought but imagine if we made a list of what could go right! #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
I am the most curious on how to keep changing with our students and to constantly adapt try new things to keep kids actively engaged #cncting4kids#ECGlobal#CBLchat#staycurious

Right there with you on ALL of this. I also wonder at what point students can become a bigger part of the PD process. As in giving them more of a voice to empower them. Are we listening enough? Can we do better? #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
YES!! I am SO curious to see how the #TeachSDGs movement continues to make a difference in the world. I LOVE that you brought up the equity piece. Especially in the area of coding! #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
One step at a time, one day at a time. We can't do it all but we can keep chipping away. Joining conversations like these and events like #ECGlobal gives me much hope. #cncting4kids
I agree how many of us have students, maintenance, food service staff on our professional development committee they all should have a voice #cncting4kids#ECGlobal#CBLchat#staycurious
So much love here for student edcamps! Hoping that our school can get to a point where it isn't just a one day event in June. Talks are underway about having one in December as well. They went over so well. #cncting4kids#ECGlobal

@kylelaurie, @Katiemc827, @ynkgrl1, @MissConsaul5
My What If: #WhatIf all PD was personalized? #WhatIf events like #ECGlobal were more well known by educators? What could that do for connected learning? #cncting4kids
Love that @EdChangeGlobal & @reeder_cassie are modeling risk taking & demoing new tech! The Chrome extension Cassie just used to give a website step by step tutorial for a #ecglobal challenge could be a game changer. Excited to try it out! @ioradhttps://t.co/xGw3oyUIOS
Also, "#cncting4kids Goes Global" is back again tomorrow at 8 AM EST, 7 AM CST, as we continue the conversation. One new question. One new challenge. Great company with some inspiring educators. Hope to see you there. #ECGlobal
Just half an hour until Next Level Student Voice starts over on @FlipGrid at https://t.co/kUEiVziKcF password: nextlevel In this chat you will find 3 questions and 3 explorations. Jump in anytime! No time limit necessary! See you there! #ECGlobal#OrEdChat#epsd9#tlap
LOVE this!!! Time zones definitely hold us back but there are so many dedicated and passionate educators across the globe that somehow manage to defy them pretty well. It would just be so awesome if we didn't have to work so hard to do it :) #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
I think it is safe to say that some of the old ideas are also very effective. The so called latest isn't always the greatest. However it is important to let go of some of the old ideas that need to be ditched! #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
Determined to stay up late enough to watch my awesome friend, @Butkovicedu 's presentation! Maybe I can keep my eyes open long enough to see @LanguageToolbox at 3am cst! #ECGlobal
Yes, another what if too! What if they were all of our Ss regardless of the town they reside in but rather attended the school that connected with interests? #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
The amount of knowledge, love, and passion that these educators have for making cultural connections is so amazing! Y'all inspire me! @msdaniels@edtechjoe#ECGlobal
Thanks @sutoriapp for the free 1 year upgrade subscription to your platform provided through @edchangeglobal#ecglobal. Gotta get my learn on, as I am a Sutori newbie!

Seeing educators get excited about doing PD on their own time makes me do a happy dance (and I did my own to JLo's Let's Get Loud for the GooseChase Challenge) @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
@kat_goyette@techcoachjuarez This is a question that was posed in the Zoom chat: What do you recommend if you're in a system that's more about the test than the wholeness of the students? How do we coach beyond that? @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal

Yep 4am UK time... Running out of blinks, so time for a nap I think. Have fun #ECGlobal people.
Regardless of the different time zones and languages etc... one thing seems to be universal: Getting buy in from senior managers and the 'unconnected' is a challenge

Thank you @quivervision for supporting @EdChangeGlobal and for the free download of Quiver Education I won during one of their challenges tonight. I've been playing around with some of the other Quiver apps this summer and am super excited to try this one out next! #ecglobal
WOW!!! The Next Level Student Voice chat on @FlipGrid was off the hook! 4.52 hours of engagement in under an hour! Now that is impressive! Feel free to jump in anytime and add to the convo at https://t.co/kUEiVziKcF password: nextlevel #ECGlobal@EdChangeGlobal
Hey @microbit_edu! @DenisecWright's session for #ECGlobal about how to program in middle school featured the beauty of Micro:bits!! You guys have me so inspired to play with mine and get more for my kiddos:)
Here is the link to the Slides presentation that shows how we're beginning our journey with our ed tech studio at the university. https://t.co/YKMXEG01mx#ECGlobal#TeachTech
A2: I don't teach math but I sucked at Geometry as a student & that quiz...Total Fail! I wanted to rebuild those linked things with something I have around here so I could manipulate it. #ARVRin3DGeometry#ECGlobal
Welcome, Amir! The students you guide and the teachers who follow you will end up thinking and caring even more about the world.
Who will be next to take the #TeachSDGs pledge at https://t.co/CSV9K4lhMN?
Q3. How does a teacher and a learner know that the learner is developing these capabilities? What do we look for and when? #ECGlobal#futureready#shapingedu
Q6. “If we trust teachers with the lives of our children, shouldn’t we trust them with a lesson plan?”
How do we allow teachers to really make learning personally relevant for every student? #ECGlobal#futureready#shapingeduhttps://t.co/YgmuC5ffTR
Q7. If self-directed learners are the goal.. how do we accommodate the shift to Heutagogy in a system geared to Pedagogy?
#ECGlobal#futureready#shapingedu
Q8. I was reading an article the other day about whether the "gig economy" should be a consideration in schooling... I wonder if our omissions are part of a bigger problem in not trusting the capabilities of young people? #ECGlobal#futureready#shapingedu
A6 Should anyone even be in a position to ‘allow’ teachers to do anything? If it’s a profession, then autonomy, responsibility, and authority are implicit. Doctors, lawyers, and plumbers go into business for themselves. What does a teaching license or credential mean? #ECGlobal
So it's Saturday, and it's 8am, and I'm awake! What an amazing session last night at #ECGlobal! I couldn't miss @Butkovicedu talking on the topic of textbook creation!! https://t.co/xTyJAIT0n3 Come join us!!!
it's getting late here, but this group of folks, and the discussions here are waking me up for sure! So happy to be connected with you and able to learn from you all during this "quiet time" before #ECGlobal gets crazy again! @EdChangeGlobal round 4 #itsgettingbettereveryyear

Thanks everyone for joining my sessions @EdChangeGlobal. This was my first presenting #ECGlobal and I loved it! Loved my #globalaudience If you have any Q feel free to contact me, I'll be happy to help.
Hope I'll be able to join more #ECGlobal sessions today... but had a couple of things come us so may not be able to attend as many sessions as I would have liked.
The crowd this year is so impressive! I've learned so much on every session. So many ways to move teaching a step up and get even closer to Ss & parents... #ECGlobal
"Why" the crux of science - ss learn better when they understand why it shd matter 2 them session by Tilka Brown on including the "Why" in language -4dluv of languages #ECGlobal
.@dpskamal we love your animated gif for the #ECGlobal challenge and sure would love to share with everyone else. It so captures the excitement around this great @EdChangeGlobal event!
"Learning a language is all abt communication & yet we structure our classrooms to discourage communication" I reflected after session by Tilka Brown #ECGlobal
It's 5AM EST & I am super excited to be here helping to guide a #ECGlobal convo RE: #TeachSDGs and our roll as edcuators in bringing them into our learning spaces. #ActionSDGs
A few notes to help you out below along w/ a link to the slide deck with all of the Qs and weblinks. Please remember to use #ECGlobal & #ActionSDGs w/ your tweets.
A1 I would focus on cleaning up our waterways. I feel that is something doable on even a small scale towards the bigger picture and is so important for our survival as humans #ECGlobal#ActionSDGs
Absolutely. @Alex_Verbeek posted a really neat video from the World Economic Forum on creative ways people are reusing plastics. Ultimately, we need to reduce our use all together - @lillyspickup would probably agree :). #ECGlobal#ActionSDGs
In reply to
@suemcl1, @Alex_Verbeek, @lillyspickup
#ecglobal#ActionSDGs for me #Women in history were in silence and focus the #SDGs5 Gendre Equality working with 15-18 years old Students. and SDGs4 Education
So excited to see you joining us! #GlobalGoal5 I just finished re-reading Chimanada Ngozi Adichie's 'We Should All Be Feminits' & how her essay helps elevate bringing this goal to life. #ECGlobal#ActionSDGs
It truly is a great starting point for anyone who is not aware of the #GlobalGoals. So appreciate your time to be in this chat with us by the way Sue! #ECGlobal#ActionSDGs
Q3 has a few links that can be accessed in my pinned tweet in case you need them. It is through our actions that the #GlobalGoals can be achieved. Excited for your responses! #ECGlobal#ActionSDGs
A2 I see the goals as a bridge between Local & Global big picture for Students Staff Board & Community.
Allow us to use relevance for all in context and understand how we impact within & outside our immediate communities
Its about creating a movement #ecglobal#actionSDGs
A3 Making our community and Ss aware of the #SDGs is the first step, then supporting their steps to make changes through small projects and then sharing these with others #ECGlobal#ActionSDGs
@MarviaDavidson I hear your pain 😂. Had 3 hrs of sleep before my sessions and I just keep going. And still no way I can attend everything I want. Maybe next year have a few days of an event? #ECGlobal
In reply to
@MarviaDavidson, @EdChangeGlobal, @MarviaDavidson
Personally I think that is a great idea. My Ss started on personalized research projects RE: the #GlobalGoals of their choice. Plan on doing the same this year & growing from there. #ECGlobal#ActionSDGs (Note I work w/ Ss age 12-13)
A3 Comes back to relevance, modelling how it fits and showing the connection subtly and blatantly, locally and globally. Empowering through knowledge for action with Moral courage. #ECGlobal#actionSDGs
This is awesome! @lillyspickup - I'm sure you have heard of these awesome enviro heros but just in case, see link below. Thanks for sharing the good news @suemcl1#ECGlobal#ActionSDGs
https://t.co/isFa3Z7V40 ♥️
A bit out there but for me this is #Goal4 So far to go even in the places in the world where we think we are getting it right
'Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all'
#ECGlobal#actionSDGs
Thank you for sharing this needed reminder Katrina. Thrilled to see that our passions can help make the #GlobalGoals a reality through our research & further actions. #ECGlobal#ActionSDGs
As daybreak starts to roll around here in the EST time zone, I'm thankful for your participation @suemcl1@Angelssoriano74@kat_vb Hopefully we can connect on some projects & bring the goals to fruition. #ECGlobal#ActionSDGs

GOOD MORNING #ECGlobal! It’s not snowing, but made this video with my daughter a few months back. Thought the song was appropriate to jump start the day :) (If you’re just waking up like me) -> https://t.co/jilrmeBtnK
10 Minutes until "#cncting4kids Goes Global" at #ECGlobal! We hope you'll join us for one question, one challenge and great connections and conversation!

Welcome to #cncting4kids! Thanks to all who joined yesterday. If you are just landing on #ECGlobal for the first time now, there are still many great sessions left to check out.
Hello, everyone! Welcome to a special #ProDriven Twitter chat as a part of #ECGlobal. We will be talking about what it means to be Professionally Driven. Let’s use the Q1:A1 format as well as BOTH hashtags.
10 Minutes until "#cncting4kids Goes Global" at #ECGlobal! We hope you'll join us for one question, one challenge and great connections and conversation!
INTRODUCTIONS - Share your name, location, role and what other #ECGlobal sessions you enjoyed already or look forward to. Bonus: Add a GIF that shares how you feel about this year’s EdChange Global. #cncting4kids
My name is Jarod Bormann. In my 12 year in education. I’m a Learning Designer and Educator Empowerer, Blogger and Author of Professionally Driven. Right now, it’s 7:00AM in Iowa. #ProDriven#ECGlobal
Mike D, Tech Integrator/TOSA from Lake Shore CSD in NY. I enjoyed catching some of @iamvlewis session on the power of live video streaming in education. Here's my GIF for how I feel about @EdChangeGlobal. #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
Hi, I'm Kathryn & I'm at #ECGlobal headquarters in Scottsdale so it's 5 AM. Usually I'm in Dallas where it would be 7 AM. 😴I'm a digital learning consultant for a regional service center #r10tech
#cncting4kids#ECGlobal this is my first event. I've been out of the loop this summer (on purpose) so I just happened to see my two favorites were moderating and thought I'd join in!
Thanks for coming back bright and early after a late night of #ECGlobal awesome, Steve! Keeping with the C theme, we're switching from curiosity to connections (although they pair together quite well). #cncting4kids
QUESTION - Those here for #ECGlobal are connected educators, learning and sharing globally. In what ways might educators create these same powerful learning opportunities for students to learn by connecting and sharing globally? #cncting4kids
#TeachSDGs is a movement that cannot be stopped. Especially with dedicated educators like you and students around the globe taking charge. #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
Good morning, checking in from Pittsburgh PA, teach Spanish and STEAM, enjoyed Teaching Foreign Lang, also @techyturner Finding your tribe , and now @jbormann3#ECglobal#ProDriven
Well now that one of our favorites is here, the real fun begins! Love the staying out of the loop on purpose part. Intentional recharging. Keep sharing those amazing sunsets. #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
#cncting4kids#ECGlobal this is my first event. I've been out of the loop this summer (on purpose) so I just happened to see my two favorites were moderating and thought I'd join in!
We also did a mystery Skype with some elementary students from different countries. My HS kids were blown away with the great things the young ones were doing! #ECGlobal#cncting4kids
A1: Typically, I’ve heard educators describe PD as boring, dull, time-sucker, etc. In most cases, the letters carry negative connotations. #ProDriven#ECGlobal
#ECGlobal#ProDriven A1. GEC, ECGlobal, Coursera & other online courses, most important twitterchats Why? because they allow choice - time, place, pace & modules
As #ECGlobal wraps up in a few hours, don't forget to share your favorite learning experiences / memories / collaborations with us ! Upload videos / resources to https://t.co/tWiSrJKjfT@edchangeglobal
Q2: When I say the words Professionally Driven, now what words/phrases come to mind? What kind of educator qualities (teacher and/or admin) come to mind? #ProDriven#ECGlobal
Those are some great ones! This year I picked up a subscription to @neprisapp. I also love what @Flipgrid does with the Explorer Series! Can't wait to see what they come up with this year. #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
In reply to
@Rdene915, @edmodo, @Flipgrid, @neprisapp, @Flipgrid
A1: (stumbled over the chat for 1st time today) 1st thoughts were being a dynamo not a cruiser or a loser per David Maister's terminology in True Professionalism, an amazing book, I highly recommend for all professionals #ProDriven#ECGlobalhttps://t.co/nzbwniNZ05
Michael, director of Fill the Gap Learning. I had planned to take part in 4 of these, this is my 8th I think, and I still have to present. #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
A2: An Educator who is concerned not only with daily lessons but with the bigger picture of the pedagogy, course, discipline, the school, and outwards. #ProDriven#ECGlobal
A2: someone on a relentless adventure/quest to know and apply more and to encourage those they are educating/working with to do the same, to be a role model re do as I do not do as I say #prodriven#wol
CHALLENGE - Think global, act local. Set the connection and collaboration wheels in motion. Tag someone (or multiple people) outside of your school with whom you would love to collaborate with on an activity or lesson this upcoming school year. #cncting4kids#ECGlobal

Hi, I’m Vlatka Butkovic. I’m from Zagreb, Croatia, currently relocated to Istria for the summer. Principal at Butkovic Education Centre, curriculum designer, teacher trainer, ESL textbooks author. #ECGlobal organizer. I believe the future of edu lies in #globalconnections. 2:20pm
A1: I worry that there is such a prejudice against any PD we offer on our own campuses Ts may never receive it well. I also feel doubtful about PD. #ProDriven#ECGlobal
Definitely! Nice work @MsDanielsStormy. This falls right in line with the global goals that have been coming up again and again in #ECGlobal. #cncting4kids
Thanks for being honest, because this is what I hear a lot. I believe it’s at no fault of the educators though. This is a mindset that they have been conditioned into through years of mediocre PD that feels irrelevant. #ProDriven#ECGlobal
Yes! With this, I am tagging @Butkovicedu for my #cncting4kids challenge! I would love to find a way to collaborate with her students in Croatia and our students in NY @LakeShoreCSD. #ECGlobal

A3 I like that. It speaks to how there is always room for improvements how can we work together to fill the glass. What steps we can take to do that. #ProDriven#ECGlobal
A3: And once a glass is full, a nProfessionally Driven educator will pour that one into a larger glass and ask, “How can I fill that one.” And the process continuous. #ProDriven#ECGlobal

A3: I can always do better. (But do be proud of what you do) It's like design thinking-- There is a constant iteration process. Keep the pearls. #ECGlobal#ProDriven
Q4: In order to empower adult learners to be Professionally Driven, we need these three ingredients. Which of these three are included in your district and how? Which ones are missing and why? #ProDriven#ECGlobal
Thanks so much Joe! #cncting4kids is always a quick, #sparkPD chat. Usually 15 minutes. We made a special exception for #ECGlobal and took it to 30 and added a challenge. Post anytime. Here is the Q: https://t.co/uid8Q54ROW

Play to win! We are giving away a #breakoutedu full Platform Access at 11AM (CST) today. To enter the drawing, play our Breakout game located on our Flipgrid. Be sure to Introduce yourself & give your information in the FG Topics: https://t.co/5Msi6VQHzt#ECGlobal#LoyolaET
Q4: In order to empower adult learners to be Professionally Driven, we need these three ingredients. Which of these three are included in your district and how? Which ones are missing and why? #ProDriven#ECGlobal
That’s awesome because I include a whole chapter on Professional Development and Sustainable Autonomy where I talk about renewable resources in my book! #ProDriven#ECGlobal
I am so lucky to have amazing friends who are so smart and helpful! Seriously enjoying @educatoralex's session on how to become a Lvl 1 Google Certified Educator!!! #ECGlobal
A4: The one I often see missing is Sustainable Autonomy. In most districts, the autonomy is treated like a one-time learning event, like an in-district EdCamp. #ProDriven#ECGlobal
A3: I am a glass half-empty person generally and specifically, for some that is a bad thing but for me it motivates me and spurs me on to learn, apply, do more in everything I do in every area of my life #ProDriven#ECGlobal
Q5: (Extra time to watch video 1st -> https://t.co/oAfx5BPEXf) How are we suffocating educators’ intrinsic motivation? Instead, how can we fan their flames to empower them to be Professionally Driven? #ProDriven#ECGlobal
A4: IMO, we spend time developing “skills” - not necessarily these three foundational traits. We, mistakenly, assume ppl just have them... #ProDriven#ECGlobal
A4 for us growth mindset is there most people want to improve intrinsic motivation can sometimes get bog down as school year moves on so its important to reflect and help boost it . The last on is tough I would be interested to see what others do to get it #ProDriven#ECGlobal
My big project this year is to have my Ss @5thGradeConnect create and lead our school podcast: Global Education Radio. Where we connect with other schools around the world Hope you all can join us! #cncting4kids#ECGlobal
A4: IMO, we spend time developing “skills” - not necessarily these three foundational traits. We, mistakenly, assume ppl just have them... #ProDriven#ECGlobal
A4: We don't take time to reflect and take action on what we learn. Pressed for time, benefits of reflection are not readily apparent. I incl work time when I design PD but sometimes forget deep reflection vs. Simple exit ticket #ProDriven#ECGlobal
Yes, but the goal every year is, “Positive effect on Learner outcomes.” This is the goal of every Professionally Driven educator because it never changes during the course of an educator’s career. #ProDriven#ECGlobal
I brewed mine here in the Chemex and never even had a chance to fill up. I am on it now! Thanks again, Joe! Look forward to connecting for sure. #ECGlobal
A2: #ProDriven makes me think of professional learning that is specific to the educator..that the educator has a say in what they learn and how they learn. And by educator, I mean all educators! #ECGlobal
Q2: When I say the words Professionally Driven, now what words/phrases come to mind? What kind of educator qualities (teacher and/or admin) come to mind? #ProDriven#ECGlobal
Q5: (Extra time to watch video 1st -> https://t.co/oAfx5BPEXf) How are we suffocating educators’ intrinsic motivation? Instead, how can we fan their flames to empower them to be Professionally Driven? #ProDriven#ECGlobal
A6: This past year, to me, it definitely felt more like the training side. In fact, we had dialogue, as a staff about this (last year) to find some common understandings. The goal is to move the needle, this year. #ProDriven#ECGlobal
A6: My district provides self driven PD opportunities in an environment called mypln @LASchools Most facilitators are classroom teachers / instructional coaches that along with district mandated PD is a happy medium. #ProDriven#ECGlobal
I suspect I am a #masterlearner ;) I stumbled into my 1st MOOC 6 years ago, MIT's Learning Creative Learning, life-changing, my learning since documented in this continually-updated post
https://t.co/nOBp4x0ptw#ProDriven#ECGlobal
Yes, I never advocate for 100% Personalized PD time during contract time. There are the have-to’s that we need to address in education, for sure. #ProDriven#ECGlobal
A6: I am proud of how my district has embraced different styles and practices. We have had more voice and choice, an ed camp style training, different configurations of schedules to accommodate a variety of learning styles.#ProDriven#ECGlobal
A6 good stuff really makes you look at how things are done. Traditional pd large group easier to roll out to masses with less moving parts learning pd small groups would need more involvement from more people but would be more relevant and worthwhile . #ProDriven#ECGlobal
Great for you! I have participated in 1 MOOC and would like to try another. It's about priorities, self discipline, the learning hunger, and, as you pointed out, designing your life! #ECGlobal#ProDriven
In my schools grade level and team planning time we allow for one hour of admin topics a month and the other 3 hours are driven by for teacher team chosen topics #ProDriven#ECGlobal
Welcome to my #ECGlobal session about #MysterySkype! We will be using Twitter this morning to share and learn. Please introduce yourself and where you are from! @EdChangeGlobal
Starting in one hour!! Join the @edchangeglobal#ecglobal#MyReadingPLN chat this morning! We learn, share, collaborate and rethink what it means to build a professional & personal library. Build your #PLN today. See you soon!!!
Thank you, everyone, for joining this special #ProDriven Twitter chat as a part of the #ECGlobal conference. Join us every Tuesday night for our regular #ProDriven chats. This week’s will feature @bkulak11.
#ProDriven#ECGlobal that’s what I was thinking when I saw that. Grade level and department time would be great for this. It would take someone who is fired up to help lead this but would be easier because it’s topic the group really wants
A6: what Eric said. And also maintaining an attitude that makes people want to be around you, be receptive to you. Doesn't have 2b bright and shiny, just accepting and...comfortable. #ECGlobal#ProDriven
Q1: #MysterySkype is described as a "global guessing game that gets kids learning about geography, culture, and the similarities and differences of how children live all over the world."(Skype) How have you connected your classroom beyond your 4 walls? @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
A1: Finding a classroom is your first step in starting a #MysterySkype! Using resources like Twitter and @SkypeClassroom allow you to connect with classrooms around the world! Once you get connected, it's time to plan for the game! @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
Let’s do it, Joe! Will be reworking units to #TeachSDGs and start to use @Flipgrid. One of my units has line of inquiry: ‘Human impact on the balance of nature’ and is scheduled for early spring. #ECGlobal
A1: I have helped teachers get in touch with experts in their field. Be it an author, or other professional that the students would like to have an expert talk to them and ask questions #ECGlobal#mysteryskype
Q1: #MysterySkype is described as a "global guessing game that gets kids learning about geography, culture, and the similarities and differences of how children live all over the world."(Skype) How have you connected your classroom beyond your 4 walls? @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
A1: Honestly I haven't done much of this. My Ss created websites, but they probably weren't seen by anyone outside of our school. Looking forward to making it my goal this year to break down our classroom walls.Twitter/Skype are two ways we'll do it. #ECGlobal#mysteryskype
A7: although book is aimed at the commercial world, reading True Professionalism with colleagues should certainly address complacency issues and the necessity for never being satisfied with your performance else you are going backwards #ProDriven#ECGlobalhttps://t.co/KKAXE61uli
A1: When we pursue our own learning in order to improve our teaching, we serve our Ss in a selfless way that will pay dividends for years to come. #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
A1 I’ve connected my (and now other teacher’s classes in my new role) beyond our school building through #MysterySkype , virtual field trips, guest speakers, and collaborations like our EPIC time with @bmilla84#ECGlobal
Q2: Once you connect with a class, you will start to plan for #MysterySkype. Each class will ask yes or no questions back and forth until you can guess where they are located in our world! What are some questions your students could ask? @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
A7: even as I was tweeting that my mind is engaged in what parts of True Professionalism are directly- or less-relevant to educators BUT where students have the choice of where they study may be more relevant than I thought re market for education services #ProDriven#ECGlobal
A2: Some examples of questions that can be used during #MysterySkype are "Is your state landlocked", "Does your state border the Gulf of Mexico", "Do you live east of the Mississippi River?" @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
As #ECGlobal wraps up in a few hours, don't forget to share your favorite learning experiences / memories / collaborations with us ! Upload videos / resources to https://t.co/tWiSrK1UEt@edchangeglobal
A2: I responded to a tweet from @sdtitmas to have our classes do a #globalcollaboration! By taking that risk, it inspired a yearlong journey to connect w/ ALL 50 states & 3 countries! It was AMAZING! Resulted in lots of learning & real friendships! #LeadLAP#KidsDeserveIt
A1: We serve our students by facilitating experiences. Connecting them with experts, collaborating to do something special, opening doors for them! #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
Q2: Once you connect with a class, you will start to plan for #MysterySkype. Each class will ask yes or no questions back and forth until you can guess where they are located in our world! What are some questions your students could ask? @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
A2 We play Mystery Skype: Word Edition.. such a powerful way to assess my 1st graders developing phonemic understanding Q:Does your word start with a vowel..soon becomes,,,Does your word start with a Digraph Can be adapted for any words or vocabulary :) #ecglobal#mysteryskype
A2: Developing relationships with our Ss will help us create a classroom that feels like a piece of home, and give them a teacher who they look to as family. #WeTeachuN#ECglobal
A2: With older students it might be fun to see if they can guess which state they are speaking with by asking about favorite foods, dialects, etc. #ECGlobal#mysteryskype
A2) Ts who have knowledge about their students will be better able to teach them, can create environments more helpful to learning and meet students' developmental, emotional and educational needs #ECGlobal#weteachUn
A2: Relationships with our students allow us to create an environment that is more open to educational risks, creativity, and failure to succeed. Ture learning can take place. #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
A2 Relationships are in important because students don't learn from people they don't like. You need a good relationship to get past the walls sometimes #WeTeachUn#ECGlobal
A2: This question is right up the connections-based learning alley! As James Comer said: "No significant learning occurs without a significant relationship". Relationships are huge! #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal#TeachCBL
#WeTeachuN#ECGlobal A2. I truly believe this, if ur ss like u, they will model ur behaviuor & learn better - just like us, we model people v admire as adults.
Q3: #MysterySkype is full of critical thinking and collaboration! What other skills are your students exposed to when experiencing a #MysterySkype or when connected to another classroom? @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
A3: Total engagement! The energy and excitement is high when students are involved in a #MysterySkype! It transformed the way my students learned about the world! @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
She is best for connecting with students and teachers!!! She showed how to participate in a #MysterySkype with some teachers at a training, and it was so much fun!! #ECGlobal#MysterySkype
Mystery letter- @bmilla84 made a “letter line” that has all the letter a-z. Vowels are red. Kids ask questions like- Is you letter in the front of the alphabet, is it a vowel, does it make a sound like d-in dog, does it have curves, straight lines, slants. It’s AMAZING! #ECGlobal
A3: A bit Obvious but so needed in #kinder ... Oral language development... how to ask and answer questions. How to use complete sentences. How to be brave and speak up when curious! #MysterySkype#ECglobal
Q3: #MysterySkype is full of critical thinking and collaboration! What other skills are your students exposed to when experiencing a #MysterySkype or when connected to another classroom? @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
A3: When we are willing to adapt as times change, we will go from being a ‘giver of information’ to being a provider of wisdom, a facilitator of knowledge, and a sharpener of skill, which will impact our Ss in a powerful way as they head into their future. #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
A3- Communication and collaboration thrive during #MysterySkype. Not just between the kids in the same classroom@but also on the other end of the Skype. Even better- it’s natural. They have a goal and they NEED to work together. I’m very hands-off. #ECGlobal
Q3: #MysterySkype is full of critical thinking and collaboration! What other skills are your students exposed to when experiencing a #MysterySkype or when connected to another classroom? @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
Well said! I remember as a child responding w/a wrong answer & my 3rd grade T was still encouraging me to think it thru & to re-evaluate, help me to see that it’s not all about being right or wrong but understanding it all #weteachUn#ECGlobal
Totally agree with you, particularly around digital portfolios. We can't ask students to blog or create digital portfolios if we aren't willing to do that ourselves! #WeTeachuN#ECglobal
A3: I am a firm believer that growth occurs after we have triumphed over conflict. Change in the classroom creates conflict that allows students to grow. #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
A3) Change is always occurring, whether in the classroom or in life, nothing stays the same, modeling positive attitudes towards change can help learners feel more confident, at ease, makes us dig deep and think critically about what we are doing #weteachUn#ECGlobal
Q3: #MysterySkype is full of critical thinking and collaboration! What other skills are your students exposed to when experiencing a #MysterySkype or when connected to another classroom? @EdChangeGlobal#ECGlobal
I hope you were able to learn something new this morning, and I appreciate you sharing your experiences with us! Let's work together to get our kids connected! @edchangeglobal#MysterySkype#ECGlobal
A4: We can put Ss 1st by being a mentor who is willing to allow them to take ownership of their learning in order to help them fully grasp what they are capable of accomplishing. #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
A3: As educators, we need to think critically about change. Embracing change that leads to better relationships and learning makes it better for our students. Change for change sake won't necessarily do that. #WeTeachUn#ECGlobal
A4: Through PBL and design thinking we design relevant and meaningful experiences FOR the students, not the content. They take the driver's seat in the learning process. #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
#WeTeachuN#ECGlobal A4. I feel we shd give them some freedom (of choice perhaps). Once they think they've chosen something, it given them ownership. Ss r most likely 2 feel responsible 4 'what they own - in this case their own learning
A4) One way is to increase the amount of open-ended questions (limit 1 correct answer Qs), this guides their learning, and helps build their stand on issues, Another is increase the amount of individualization, b accommodating to their passion #weteachUn#ECGlobal
A4: Connect students with the community, experts, organizations, and classrooms around the world and then open the door to their response. Amazing things can happen! #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal#CBL
A5: When we come alongside our Ss as they fail, we help them push through the barriers they face at each crossroad. We become the ally they seek to help build confidence, and we offer them the belief they need to learn from the mistakes they make. #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
A5 I think the best way to convey making mistakes is okay, is by publicly acknowledging our own mistakes and modelling not giving up on solving them #WeTeachUn#ECGlobal
A5: When we fail, we give permission for the students to fail too. We let them know we are humans that make mistakes. They see us recover and realize they can work through it too. #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
#WeTeachuN#ECGlobal A4. Allowing ss time to reflect upon their failures & reattempt the task with the new learning till they attain mastery also helps foster ownership of their own learning
Would have Loved! Loved! Loved! to have gone on virtual field trips like this when I was at school... Would Love for my kids to be able to go on these trips today, what's preventing this from happening?
https://t.co/RpCqgMOPwJ#ECGlobal#mysteryskype#WeAreES
A5: Not sure we can eliminate the fear of failure. Fear happens. With the right relationships and environment, though, we can help students act despite the fear. This builds resilience in our students which is such an important trait. #WeTeachuN#ECglobal
A5 Failures contribute to our personal growth, I always point out how many times my kids fell when learning how to walk... it didn’t stop them from learning... they walk great now! 😂😂 #ECGlobal#weteachUn
A6: When we are willing to share our stories, our hobbies, and pieces of our lives with our Ss, we become people they want to be around. They look forward to seeing the teachers they know are invested in them and are willing to be real with them. #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
A6: I try to make my class different from other classes. I want them to look forward to a unique experience in which they walk out of the room feeling like they've picked up something for life. #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
We’re in a smaller room at #ecglobal mission control. Doesn’t it look great?! 🤓 It takes at least 15 devices and 4 giant screens 😳 to manage this event.
Funny how our mind tries everything in its power to prevent us from doing something that makes us feel bad—even if it will benefit us in the long term #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
#WeTeachuN#ECGlobal A6. make the learning relevant to ss, ans d "why", surprise them, provide a safe environment for them to experiment, support them if they fail by modelling resilience
Thanks so much #weteachUn#ECGlobal for a fantastic chat this morning, got my creative & intellectual juices flowing this morning 😍 Have an AMAZING day!
Teachers must share enthusiasm for being present in their own classrooms! Teachers must thrive in & nurture an excitement in #learning. As learners, teachers must not be risk adverse, must model respect, must embrace humanity. Create a life-giving space.
A6 #WeTeachuN#ECGlobal
Yet another reason why I LOVE #ECGlobal so much? I can watch a Periscope, listen to a session, talk to friends across the world, and feed my chickens/take out the recyclables at the same time! YES!
Welcome to the global online learning @EdChangeGlobal#ecglobal#MyReadingPLN chat! We'll learn, collaborate, & rethink what it means to build a professional & personal library.
Intro yourself, where you're from & share w/us one of your favorite leisurely things to do.
Morning #collaborators & #gamechangers!! So glad you're here for @EdChangeGlobal PD. I'm a high school curriculum coordinator in Texas, & one of my fave activities is walking. I also enjoy hand lettering.

Re: The Build A Better Library #ECGlobal session...
Here's a link to my @Goodreads with all those AMAZING books I've read. If it's on my Fav/5* shelf then I simply cannot recommend it highly enough!!
https://t.co/BeWOaWzBoS
I'm Kerry, and I am a high school science teacher in Dallas, Texas. One of my favorite leisurely things to do is drink wine and share a cheese plate with friends! #ECGlobal#MyReadingPLN

Q1
As educators we never stop learning, and in some ways we’re required to earn continuing education hours.
What does your professional library currently look like and how do you build it?
#myplnreading#ecglobal
A1: Until this last year, I never really read educator books. I just kick-started my professional library. Most books are about creativity and design. I'm building is from recommendations by fabulous educators at #coffeeedu#myplnreading#ecglobal
Q2
21st century learning seems to demand we change with the times and stay in-the-know at all times.
Should professional development for educators require outside reading personal or professional? Why? Why not?

#myplnreading#ecglobal
A1: I have read some books with my team and a few on my own. But the book usually only gets read if I have a partner or a group! I like collaboration and a deadline... #ECGlobal
And here we go!!

#myplnreading#ecglobal
A2: Just like students, some educators embrace required things, some comply with it, and others reject it. I think book clubs are the way to go. They are fun learning experiences whose members aren't usually quiet about what goes on in the book club! #myplnreading#ecglobal

Q3
Teaching is both art and science, creative and pedagogical. It can be life giving or not.
What are you reading now that is giving your educator heart life and energy?
#myplnreading#ecglobal
@MarviaDavidson knows this well, but I am reading LAUNCH by John Spencer and A.J. Juliani. I love the plethora of methods they present for teachers to facilitate each step in the design thinking process. #myplnreading#ecglobal

#myplnreading#ecglobal
A3. I started The Innovator’s Mindset and plan to read Insprining Curiosity: The Librarian’s Guide to Inquiry-Based Learning and Makers with a Cause next. I also read lots of #mglit and #yalit to recommend to kids, and I enjoy them. #myPLNreading#ECglobal
Give me ALL the ideas and ways of collaborating. I think thats key to finding and fluffing out what does and doesn't work for you and your #pln. Ya know? ;-) #myplnreading#ecglobal
A3: Started @ShakeUpLearning book. Kasey's frankness about her process inspires me to put my work out to share with others, not just my Ss or my team. In class and in life, just go for it! Let your light shine, ya know? #ECGlobal#myreadingpln

Q5
Sometimes we learn from unlikely sources and that includes books and other forms of media.
What books do you suggest every educator read or consider reading? Why? It’s okay if it’s not directly related to education.
#myplnreading#ecglobal
A5: Hmmm...I think that every science teacher (at least in the U.S.) should read Dan Brown's Origin. It does a great job of bringing perspective to some hot-button issues like religion, science, and technology. It may be fiction, but it makes you think. #myplnreading#ecglobal

Q6
When it comes to building a PLN or library, there are no hard and fast rules that MUST be followed. You gotta do what is best for you to learn, grow, and develop.
How do you grow your reading/library?
#myplnreading#ecglobal
A5. I felt like I learned a lot when I read Dweck’s Mindset which is where a lot of the #growth mindset stuff we see stems from. Lots of #mglit and #yalit like Amal Unbound, All American Boys, and Save Me a Seat can impact teachers. #myPLNreading#ECglobal
A6: Almost every conference and PD I go to has at least one speaker who shouts out some books. Start a list, write them down, order when ready. It takes time, you don't have to do a thing right then...curate! #myplnreading#ecglobal

#myplnreading#ecglobal
Q7
Consider your use of 21st century digital media in your library.
What platforms are you experimenting with to further develop or grow your professional learning/reading? How so?
#myplnreading#ecglobal
A7. IBooks and Kindle to buy and read some. Occasionally I’ll get lucky and my local public library Overdrive or Hoopla will have one. Goodreads to curate and see what others are reading. Twitter gives me ideas too. #myPLNreading#ECglobal
A7: I'm experimenting with books on Kindle. Fiction seems to be fine, educator books make me want to write and highlight. I just love paper for that. I want to grow my professional learning with book studies on Twitter chat or Flipgrid #myplnreading#ecglobal

FINAL THOUGHT
To build your library, consider taking up a new social platform. Try something different. Connect & engage on a local, regional, national, or global level because you already are by taking part in this tweet chat.
What would you add?
