cybraryman1 Jun 4 @ 8:18 PM EDT

My Student Tech-Help page https://t.co/sgULo25AgO We do realize students grew up in the digital age & many know more than we do #APChat

cybraryman1 Jun 4 @ 8:18 PM EDT

My Student Tech-Help page https://t.co/Fg4w7MhPEI… We do not realize students grew up in the digital age & many know more than we do #APChat

hollymarcolina Jun 4 @ 8:19 PM EDT

I've never heard the term techspertise, but I'm going to use it! Great point #apchat

In reply to @cybraryman1

ryanrismiller Jun 4 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2: we need to encourage practice in use. Can be easy to get lost with the abbreviations. Being a native allows proactivity #apchat

MrRedmondAP Jun 4 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2: tiered PD for staff, realizing that most younger staff are digital natives. Possibly use Ss as tech liaisons to help Ts #APChat

derwood73 Jun 4 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2: I try to become familiar with various digital media to communicate with my own children as well as students. #APChat

hollymarcolina Jun 4 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2: Encourage staff PD with things like this! Real life, relevant practice with the tech #apchat Never just assume familiarity

hollymarcolina Jun 4 @ 8:22 PM EDT

Great point #apchat

In reply to @MrRedmondAP

derwood73 Jun 4 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: It is amazing what you can learn when you talk with students about their interests. #APChat

ryanrismiller Jun 4 @ 8:23 PM EDT

It would be great if more used the student skill set in the classroom not just with tools but to create #apchat

In reply to @cybraryman1

ryanrismiller Jun 4 @ 8:24 PM EDT

By knowing their terminology and being accustomed to their tools, it can build digital awareness and prevent situations #apchat

In reply to @AmberSchroering

derwood73 Jun 4 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2: I also enjoy watching students teach lessons (or parts of lessons) using their technology of choice. #APChat

jcwastler - Moderator Jun 4 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Q3: What steps can we take to ensure that our digital natives remain "bilingual;" able to have effective face-to-face communication? #APChat

ryanrismiller Jun 4 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3: they need to see it modeled. In some situations they need coached to understand body presence and nonverbals #apchat

derwood73 Jun 4 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Modeling expectations and norms is the key in most situations with students. #APChat

In reply to @ryanrismiller

hollymarcolina Jun 4 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3: crafting learning experiences to ensure development of those "soft skills"-eye contact, public speaking, active listening #apchat

MrRedmondAP Jun 4 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3: utilize tech as the "hook" to get a classroom conversation started, create back channels to help all Ss contribute safely #APChat

AmberSchroering Jun 4 @ 8:33 PM EDT

Wondering less about what we are doing in the classroom and more about how we are connecting on deeper levels with our students. #apchat

derwood73 Jun 4 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A3: Allow students to take the lead as teachers in the classroom. #APChat

jcwastler - Moderator Jun 4 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Q4: Ss sometimes sometimes forget their digital footprint. How can we effectively help them to build a positive footprint? #APChat

ryanrismiller Jun 4 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A4: sometimes to get to the positive footprint they need to see what their footprint is by googling themselves #apchat

ryanrismiller Jun 4 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A4.1: they could Google their favorite celebrities and make Ss expert panelists by allowing them to create suggestions of phrases #apchat

hollymarcolina Jun 4 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A4-Establishing social media handles, accts, with approp name and postings--especially in light of college admissions/job recruit #apchat

MrRedmondAP Jun 4 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A4: I struggle with this, always seeming to have the conversation in reaction to a negative event, instead of being proactive #APChat

jcwastler - Moderator Jun 4 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Q5: How do you maintain a pulse on student climate in a time when much of their interaction occurs in a digital space? #APChat

ryanrismiller Jun 4 @ 8:49 PM EDT

I worry a lot with understanding of impact of pictures and videos; then showing them what it means to them if they're in possession #APChat

A5: As an aspiring admin, this is something I wonder about with disciplinary issues...when digital things impact the edu environment #apchat

AmberSchroering Jun 4 @ 8:53 PM EDT

This past spring, we saw too many fights happen during the school-day that started on social media. #apchat

MrRedmondAP Jun 4 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5: making sure school digital presence models the positive, create trusting relationships with Ss so they feel safe in coming to me #APChat
