Left #ICE18 today & I can say this. I am on the right track, but I still have things to do. It is great when you hear things that you can take back right away. Then, hear things that make you realize how far you still have to go. Thanks @SmitJason@KingKellym I know where to go..
Today I spent the day at #ICE18. The day was full of ideas, inspiration, incredible people and I was reminded of how deeply lucky I am to be able to create and share what I am absolutely madly passionate about. It was a really great day!!
Keep the #ICE18 excitement & sharing going! Apply to present at #TECH2018 ! Share what your students are doing with tech with our State Legislators! See the pics for info!

Yep. If you are just doing assignments online and submitting online, what is the point? How is your tech amplifying learning? Adding something that could not be done before?

#ICE18 Q1 Why is it important for eduk8rs tob lifelong learners? Panel: A1 To feel cognitive dissonance of learning again; a mind in motion stays in motion; model learning to Ss; what T learned 20 yrs ago may have changed; how Ss learned 20 yrs ago has changed!

I channeled my inner @alicekeeler last night on my 6 year old trying to figure out how to earn a school fitness prize. The @ice_il math session was an awesome reminder to encourage kids to keep finding different ways to look a math, not just find the answers. #ice18
How do we go to students not dropping out and not being disenfranchised. This is a failure of the system. Not the teacher! Not the student. @k_shelton#ice18#ice18equity
Internet access should not depend on your SES. It is a right and our responsability should be to ensure that everyone has it. #ice18equity#ice18#d75learns
#ICE18#ice18equity Equity vs equality-equity means everyone has the same chance, equality means everyone is treated the same. Equity means some students might have more support or less depending upon need. What is more important in schools?
Being a leader and learner in a post-Ferguson era has taught us that having 20-25 young men without student voice is gasoline on a explosive situation. #ice18
Fair is not equal! Equality is giving every kid a laptop, equity is giving all Ss access to the internet and all resources that come with it. Our role as educators is to give every kid a fighting chance #ice18#ice18equity
Our students published restaurant reviews using @AdobeSpark to share with the community using a #googleEDU site. Weโre SO EXCITED to officially LAUNCH OUR SITE and share our experiences with the world! #innovate28#ice18

Equity vs Equality in schools. What does it look like and what do you focus on? Equality means giving all students the same resources. Equity means making sure all students have the same access to those resources. Reach for equity in your school. #ICE18

#ICE18 Day three panel addressing equity ๐Come visit me in Utopia C @ 10:15 to talk #PBL, #geniushour, & #GlobalGoals (ie how to teach w/ tech & purpose)
โNo child should have to do his homework at #McDonalds โ- Things heard at #ICE18 on internet access equality.
Can our kids at least settle for doing homework at #TacoBell ?
โA kidsโ zip code should not dictate the quality of their educationโ. - @thomascmurray quoting Arne Duncan #ICE18 Why is this still our reality? #INeLearn
Only 8:30 and already loving #ICE18! Grateful to @KeithMShaffer and @EastMaine63 for supporting these learning opportunities!
#ICE18equity panel: It's our job to "give every kid a fighting chance to be the next generation of thinkers, doers, inventors, and creators."
One beauty of technology is giving every kid a voice. Get them using a google slide to share their voice, not just information. #ice18#ice18equity@alicekeeler
Technology allows for all students to have a voice. Use Google Slides as a way for all students to respond throughout the presentation and give them that voice. #ICE18
What structures or accepted behaviors are built into our school organizations that create inequities? If they are hidden how do we find them? (Hint: look for them by asking questions and listening to a diverse audience) #ice18#ICE18equity@k_shelton
"It is embarrassing to send kids to McDonalds for Wifi (don't have it at home)...we shouldn't have to do that" @ideaguy42 Is this different from when I went to the library for internet access? I didn't see this a huge issue as a kid. It was expected of me #ice18equity#ice18
Every student now has a radio station, television studio, and a movie production facility in their pocket, we have to find way to bring these creative tools into learning to give our inivisible students voice. #ice18
If you give students access, you have given them a voice.
If you give a student voice, you have given them a choice.
If you give students choice, you unlock their true potential.
#d75learns#ice18#ice18equity
"What do you feel is your obligation to ensure that educators take the necessary steps to be equitable in the classroom?" @k_shelton asks a question that is about action. I like it. #ICE18#ICE18equity
What is our moral responsibility to ensure equity in education? -@k_shelton#ICE18#ICE18equity#edtech
โ๐ฟโ๐ฝโ๐พโ๐ผโ๐ป
We need to do more.
Our panelists are confirming that their children are set up for success because of the advantages their privilege provides. For the kids for whom that is not true, can that truly just be addressed inside the school? What else can be done?
#ICE18
I read this when I was a kid https://t.co/3aVn1mWtkr and it shapes my thinking today. Should we be responsible for every student creating more content than can ever be consumed? #ice18
The last day of #ICE18 has begun! Be sure to stop by #Trinity3 booth #907 to say hi to Scott and Chad and hear about our #ADP warranty. You can also enter to win a #Lenovo N23 Yoga #Chromebook! #edtech#k12
Is that assignment reach students and helping lift them out of poverty? Is it quality learning? Is it authentic? If it's not, why are you asking them to do it? h/t @alicekeeler#ICE18#esd20learns
Be flexible and responsive to what all students need. โDonโt have feelings about an assignment. Have feelings about how your students feel about an assignment.โ Via @alicekeeler#ice18#ice18equity
There is a lot of value for creating for ourselves, but to expect others will be able to sort through the noise to find your students work and find it valuable seems unlikely.

I'm proud of the work the educators @SkokieSD69 have done to try to celebrate and support the culturally diverse students of our community. From supporting families, empowering parents, and adjusting instruction to address the strengths and weaknesses of each individual #ICE18
I think Midas World was spot on, in relation to social media creation. https://t.co/3aVn1mWtkr We all can create copious amounts of sm work, but should we? Should we encourage our students to do that too? #ice18#edchat
All kids, not just kids who live in affluent districts deserve quality education. We can all reach out and see what we can share and offer to help. Love that suggestion from @ideaguy42. โค๏ธโ๐ฝโ๐พโ๐ผโ๐ป #ICE18#ICE18equity#edtech
Getting everything set for my 9 AM #ICE18 session, "From Tutorials to Instructional Strategies: Shifting Instructional Coaching Conversations about Tech." #207now
Author of "Ditch That Homework" shares that once students leave our buildings, they no longer have an equitable learning environment. Those with least privilege have the hardest hill to climb. #ICE18
The #1 reason to stop pushing homework is because the moment students leave the classroom, they enter into an inequitable environment. Some students will the supports to succeed, and others will be set up to fail. @alicekeeler#ICE18#ICE18Equity
@alicekeeler gives powerful reasons to #ditchhw "When the students cross that threshold and leave our classroom, they are instantly in an inequitable environment." And, "All students should have the privilege of their highly qualified teacher." #ice18#ICE18equity
@ideaguy42 Thank you for sharing your perspective on spreading equity by reaching out to the underserved to share services and resources! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ#ice18equity#ice18
Homework is fundamentally an #equity issue. Regardless of what we do in schools, the external world is inequitable for students, support, time & opportunity to compete it. - @alicekeeler#ICE18#ICE18equity
Nope, the number one reason to stop using homework is that we have no right to dictate what kids do outside of our classroom. Number two is because every hour we take is an hour they can't learn what they want to learn. #ice18 cc @alicekeeler
"Walk into almost every advanced computer science class in our high schools- you will see that the majority of students will be white males." @thomascmurray That is hard to hear- but a reality- We have a responsibility to change that narrative #ICE18@briangio3
Great topic by @k_shelton on examining status quo policies in school. This is a discussion that needs to continue in schools across the nation.#ICE18#ice18equity
Our parents have a wealth of knowledge that they can share with their students. Parents and their second language is a strength that students can benefit from, not a weakness! #ICE18#ICE18equity@alicekeeler
Panel discussion about equality vs equity in education and how can technology help bridge that divide. Very powerful! @ice_il@LDLOVEL#ICE18#tricopioneers
Also, they work all day long at school. Who wants to work for 4 more hours after work? If they're not working during school, then we need to rethink our instructional approach. #ICE18
An observation that many in my experience have not considered with homework, that is until chromebooks were present. Another example of tech sparking the conversation for improving the educational opportunities for our kids! #ICE18
Random thought of the day, โtechnology isnโt the thing. Itโs the thing that gets us to the thingโ - Joe McMillen, Halt and Catch Fire. Very applicable to #edtech#ICE18#edtech#ice2018
So true. Whenever I present I think that people won't come because it's something they already know or have done, but to my surprise there are still Ts who haven't learned or done before! If I have given just ONE T an idea then I have done what I came to do! #ICE18#hyperdocs
Good morning #ICE18 -huge thank you to all who have stepped up to present/share ideas- For those of you holding back, think about this, โwhatโs obvious to you, is amazing to othersโ. - Derek Sivers Obvious to you. Amazing to others. - by Derek Sivers https://t.co/pLpbkUK4ej

Quite an impressive bit of coding magic! @alicekeeler takes questions via Google Form and then created code to take the responses and split each into a separate slide embedded inside the current presentation. SO then the audience questions BECOME her slides. MAGIC! #ICE18
"Why" is the important question to ask when you are creating a "maker" experience. Without a good answer to this, it may be a "craft" and not provide a vehicle for learning. #ice18#d75learns

If you change nothing and just ditch homework, you are doing a disservice to students. You have to change the structure of learning during classtime! @alicekeeler#ICE18

If every student has a story to tell how are they telling it and are we giving them the ability to do so? Literacy is nothing more than effective communication via @K_shelton#ICE18
Whatโs your why? Feeling incredibly inspired at #ice18 by my very own colleagues as they share their journey individually and as a whole @KomenskyLions#d100pride#d100pride
Does it make sense to teach stuff that kids can learn by asking their watch? Excellent point by David Thornburg in "Why Technology is Shifting Education from Nouns to Verbs." #ICE18

Wanted to give @amber_heffner a huge shout out. As the executive director of @ice_il, the responsibility of the conference falls on her leadership. She has CRUSHED IT. #ICE18 is well organized, well run, with amazing opportunities for educators. Proud to be here!
From gaming, students have learned that FAILing is a part of learning! They may not get it the first time, but they are not discouraged. They try again and again till they get it. Seriously, How long do people spend a level of candy crush??? #ice18

"I don't know" from a student is an invitation to a conversation, not a low grade. Help them find the answer themselves. Don't do the thinking for them! @alicekeeler#ice18
โItโs not my job to rescue you from thinking.โ โI donโt knowโ can be a great way to start the conversation, instead of a simple 0. Focus on their learning instead of the points. #ICE18

Peer feedback and giving critiques is a vital life skill and links directly to critical thinking. Make sure you teach them how to give good feedback. Itโs a process. #ICE18

Food for thought from @alicekeeler with a little remix from me: if the technology becomes ubiquitous then it is not technology or innovative anymore-rather it is an accepted tool #ICE18
Learning about culturally relevant & responsive environments from @k_shelton. Itโs important to provide students with a voice and to include everyone using a variety of tools! #ICE18
We all come from different places and have different experiences. Our perspectives are built by individual and shared experiences and this cannot be ignored by educators. https://t.co/carBzZWnvR#Empathy#ICE18
Letโs be Culturally Responsible Edus... Letโs look at our students from a strengths perspective. โOur Students are an asset not a liability!โ @k_shelton#ICE18
I think we can let them fail as long as we don't have that failure be the end of the story. Sometimes we need to help them learn from struggle and let them try again! #ICE18#kidsdeserveit

Fueled my fire for relevant pedagogy. Itโs not 21st Century Skills. Itโs Essential Skills. Look at backgrounds as assets, not disabilities. Before we ask Ss to tell their stories, have we given them the tools to amplify voice? Great session with @k_shelton#ICE18
At #ice18 , I have been asking/observing those that are using Microsoft and Apple devices if they were using chrome. 78% said Yes. About 55% said they rarely if ever use any other app, just Chrome. Are schools buying these devices only to end up with expensive chromebooks?
Great #ICE18 session on personalized PD and badging with @mikewielgus and @AdamGeisen. Process for earning badges leads to generating artifact-based evidence for Danielson Framework @dg_fft. #EDUcoach support key. #207learn

3 small moves from ##ICE18
1. Trust @southjoseph 2. Remember that all kids have greatness inside them and it is our job to find it. @E_Sheninger 3. Know your WHY
RT alicekeeler: It's not whether we teach students Google or Microsoft or any other tech tool... Can they adapt to ANY new tech tool. Essential skill. #ICE18https://t.co/bI0IzY4vVR

Day 2 of #ICE18 takeaway: Empowering staff who attended ICE to share their takeaways. During the staff meeting-small group mini ice sessions were created-Ts could choose & then came back to share w/team. Takeaways shared on @Flipgrid! Such an awesome meeting! #osd135#hptpride
Wow! The #ICE18 conference was packed with exciting ideas to bring new learning opportunities to students. Thank you for sharing such compelling ways for students to lead learning! Pumped to get back into the classroom with new ideas! @FPMS_D91
Thank you @k_shelton for your thought provoking sessions that led us to reflect on our own pedagogy today at #ice18. You empowered us, to empower our students! Letโs light up their brains as we teach them the art of intentional storytelling #createtheculture#techquity
Good PD is energizing, motivating, exciting, amazing, and just a bit exhausting. SO many ideas I want all my students to experience RIGHT NOW; better to do one or two things well, and build. Thanks, @ice_IL! #ICE18! #everymeansevery
Iโm so glad for the learning I was able to do at #ICE18 this week! I love connecting with amazing educators. Equity and inclusion are big on my mind and in my heart more and more lately...so here are some thoughts as I reflect.
There were panels instead of keynotes every morning. The first two days, it seems like they worked to be inclusive of people of color in the panel. The third day, when equity was the topic it wasnโt as apparent. #ice18#ice18equity
During the equity discussion, there was talk of reaching out to districts and schools and offering help. Yes, keep connecting. But why not help by elevating the voices of poc color who are doing good work in education? #ice18#ice18equity
Thank you to the #ice18 family for such a memorable experience. Moderating the panel was beyond an enjoyable time on a great topic. To all the attendees, thanks for the support, convos, and time!! Much Love!! ๐ค
Speaking of connecting...we all have to examine who we follow and connect with on social media. Are we learning with a diverse group of people? Especially if your colleagues and/or students look like you, tech lets you broaden your perspective. #ice18#ice18equity
.@k_shelton talked about how he connects virtually with a class so they have the opportunity to have a role model who is African American. This is an example of how we can use tech to connect to expand and deepen our experiences in and out of school. #ice18#ice18equity
Ken on a scale of 1-10 you did an 11. Thank you so much for valuing equity and bringing this to the larger audience. It was amazing and it was an honor and privilege to be included! #ICE18
@southjoseph Thank you for your important points at today's closing of #ICE18. @lmontgomery67 heard and acted by sharing them with me. It's a team that helps each other... Thanks for being my team!
Equity doesn't have to be color. ALL students deserve, as @E_Sheninger says an ,"AMAZING EDUCATION." Really appreciate the amazing @k_shelton for taking the lead on valuing equity. This panel was not originally an equity panel, but so happy that this was the topic. #ICE18
In reply to
@mentortexts, @E_Sheninger, @k_shelton
if you were at #ICE18 but unable to see the amazing Learning Tools in action, take a moment and see the possibilities for inclusive teaching and learning, #OneNote is free for educators & a breakthrough assistive technology #LearningTools#ImmersiveReader#edtech

Overall...#ice18 was good. Good sessions, ideas, and energy. But educators in general need to continue to look around and think about who is invited, who is asked to keynote or be on a panel, who attends, and whose voices we are working to raise and celebrate. #ice18equity
And we should be doing this at every conference we attend. Equity and inclusion should always be part of decision making from the classroom level to professional learning at conferences. #ice18#ice18 equity
Thank you @techmaverick, for facilitating the conversation today with our #ice18 colleagues! We look forward to continuing to learn from their efforts and collaborate on further #esports endeavors.

I started my #ICE18 conference with dinner on Monday and ended my conference with dinner tonight at Giordano's Pizza (16 locations). Nuff said. #cvtechtalk@techcoachjuarez#122edchat

March is reading month for my third grader & his teacher @DonnaHynek has challenged him and his classmates to read more. I love the idea so Iโm going to join him and get back into reading starting with @Hack_Leadership#ICE18 inspired me!

Can one be exhausted from learning for three straight days at a tech conference? Just ask any attendee at #ICE18 . So many ideas, thoughts, and movements. Best takeaway: Use technology in meaningful ways to have a positive impact on society, your school, and your students.
One final #ICE18 takeaway: as we roll out new tech into our classes, are we adding new instruction and integration, or merely replacing something old with something shiny? In essence, are we replacing worksheets with digital worksheets? Or are we utilizing tech to its potential?
Embedding maps into lessons completely transform the learning! Instead of looking at the colorful flat map that hangs on a wall, swoop into the spherical globe and explore the actual places that are being explored. Can't wait to get more ideas from your book!

Gotta give a shout out to @edcampchicago for awesome #edcamp experience this fall where I won a 2day pass to @ice_il#ICE18 and thanks to @AddisonSD4 for supporting me. Not sugar-coating. Out job isnโt easy, but experiences like this week make that mountain more fun to climb.

Great #ICE18 session on personalized PD and badging with @mikewielgus and @AdamGeisen. Process for earning badges leads to generating artifact-based evidence for Danielson Framework @dg_fft. #EDUcoach support key. #207learn
Thanks @Mr_B_Ed_Tech! That was how we started the process ourselves. Figure out what PD should look like, then go make that! Definitely better than evaluating what you have and trying to fix it. Just blow it up and start over! #ICE18
@mikewielgus@AdamGeisen What is important for Teacher PD? These were audience generated responses. Great way to start, get on the same page with your audience ๐ #ice18#edtech
Thanks Megan for coming to our presentation this afternoon! You hung in there during the last session of the day, and we really appreciate it ๐๐๐ฝ! Saw your tweets re: shopping spree earlier - have fun with that cart full o' AR! #ICE18#99learns@IllinoisCIC#augmentthisreality
