sjvalentine Jul 14 @ 9:09 PM EDT

#isedchat I follow mostly educators but am nourished almost daily by @austinkleon, who is a great twitter teacher. His tweets = a mini MFA.

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:09 PM EDT

richard_royal Jul 14 @ 9:15 PM EDT

#isedchat - what's q1? I can't find it. (I'm in Denver, CO. At an Int. School)

skeeTX Jul 14 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@reshanrichards does the layout change daily? #isedchat

reshanrichards Jul 14 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Hey @richard_royal - the q’s are coming from @Blendingleaders - we’re up to Q2 now though Q1 is there if you search! #isedchat

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:17 PM EDT

a2 Twitter chats. Thoughtful, maintained blogs. Love how these can flatten typical hierarchy. #isedchat

JosieHolford Jul 14 @ 9:17 PM EDT

I was sent a free mega box of Hot Wheels thanks to Twitter. Made all the difference to the space. #isedchat

skeeTX Jul 14 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: work on teams to design faculty workspace, library redesign and digital portfolios #isedchat

reshanrichards Jul 14 @ 9:17 PM EDT

This was for a 1month intensive course @skeeTX they moved stuff occasionally, but once they got it set up way they liked it stuck #isedchat

EricAfterSchool Jul 14 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1.5 The big firehose is full of surprises. Can filter the stream to suit my needs. I'm the curator, not some MSM editor. #isedchat

richard_royal Jul 14 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2 - #isedchat - I like to try and avoid hierarchy in my office. No visible desk (so I can't hide behind it)

kevinjruth Jul 14 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@blendingleaders A2. Care is central, irrespective of physical or virtual location. Jesuits call it #curapersonalis #isedchat

reshanrichards Jul 14 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A former principal (now asst supt.) @patrickmlarkin moved his desk into the school’s main hallway! @richard_royal #isedchat

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@skeeTX They have worked well, haven't they? And our whole iPad program rolled out that same way. #isedchat

richard_royal Jul 14 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1 - #isedchat - I make sure I read @kevinjruth 's ECIS blog. I also keep up-to-date with @MISBOconnects

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:20 PM EDT

a2 Well designed, maintained spaces, on or offline, encourage people to engage and flourish there. #isedchat

skeeTX Jul 14 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@crottymark Absolutely!!! Many Ts collaborating in concentrated effort to better serve our community #isedchat

blendingleaders Jul 14 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Question number 3 in one minute! #ISEDchat

@blendingleaders A2 I look at a lot of spaces and combine the best parts for students #isedchat

blendingleaders Jul 14 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Q3: How have you used, or seen others use, online tools to extend or articulate the missions of their organizations? #ISEDchat

JosieHolford Jul 14 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Blimey @blendingleaders Now there's a question! #isedchat

reshanrichards Jul 14 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: On Twitter - people participating in things like #isedchat - mission are reflected by simply being present IMHO

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:23 PM EDT

a3 @dmonaco does a great job of this. #isedchat

richard_royal Jul 14 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3 #isedchat - twitter feed of @BISB_School is outstanding at promoting the brand. Kudos to @watershed_co too.

ckoos1 - Moderator Jul 14 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: I have another account @MrsKoos that I use to communicate w/school families. Helps define our culture. #isedchat

blendingleaders Jul 14 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@JosieHolford hi - we tried to time them 8 minutes apart - but we can certainly shorten the interval if others also agree! #isedchat

JosieHolford Jul 14 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A 3 One way @blendingleaders has been to make actual global connections and use the tools to connect students with world resources #isedchat

nathan_stevens Jul 14 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@blendingleaders there are great tools for making short magazines that show small snippets of shool's activities #isedchat

Have to run! Our new nephew was just born!!!! #isedchat

kevinjruth Jul 14 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@blendingleaders A3 I see much variation in this space, some schools excel, others struggle. Much to learn about social capital. #isedchat

reshanrichards Jul 14 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Can you share some of those tools? @nathan_stevens @blendingleaders #isedchat

EricAfterSchool Jul 14 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Our school's blog does this well. (Recent posts mostly about service trips.) https://t.co/OggYlojXgr #isedchat

nathan_stevens Jul 14 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@blendingleaders A3 use tools that tell your story. It is ok about knowing which items best illustrate that #isedchat

nathan_stevens Jul 14 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@reshanrichards @blendingleaders I am trying to think of the one use #isedchat having a brain fart

JosieHolford Jul 14 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A 3 #isedchat Also access to resources of those who think deeply about such things as school missions. what they should say and how written.

reshanrichards Jul 14 @ 9:26 PM EDT

When I make a word cloud from tonight’s chat I am glad that ‘fart' will be one of the words @nathan_stevens @blendingleaders #isedchat

nathan_stevens Jul 14 @ 9:27 PM EDT

@reshanrichards @blendingleaders I do what I can. Looking for application. #isedchat

SocialAssurity Jul 14 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 Our social media activities can impact the way people perceive the organizations we represent whether intended or not #isedchat

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:27 PM EDT

a3 My goals is to do better at this. I tend to cover vast ground rather than specific about my school. Guess it occurs via assoc. #isedchat

JosieHolford Jul 14 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Q3 Online tools have enable schools and teachers to close the gap between rheotic and reality and actually LIVE their missions #isedchat

blendingleaders Jul 14 @ 9:28 PM EDT

We’re halfway through! #ISEDChat Please check out our book https://t.co/JV89XuN2X4 & sign up for our newsletter: https://t.co/ArfRa79PJm

reshanrichards Jul 14 @ 9:28 PM EDT

I think its more than just association - its more like a conduit that does not require explicitness @crottymark #isedchat

blendingleaders Jul 14 @ 9:29 PM EDT

Question four is coming up! #ISEDchat

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:29 PM EDT

a3 the aforementioned @bivey is another who does this very well, on Twitter and his blog #isedchat

reshanrichards Jul 14 @ 9:29 PM EDT

blendingleaders Jul 14 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Q4: Have you attended or held a meeting recently that used technology to break from the traditional meeting mold? Describe it. #ISEDchat

sjvalentine Jul 14 @ 9:30 PM EDT

Excellent point #isedchat https://t.co/AakCGTjHvK

sjvalentine Jul 14 @ 9:30 PM EDT

a4: I'm in one right now. #ISEDchat

nathan_stevens Jul 14 @ 9:31 PM EDT

@blendingleaders A4 yep paper. It is all the rage and making a comeback #isedchat

reshanrichards Jul 14 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: I heard an interesting suggestion from someone about doing a twitter chat (public) and a Hangout (private) at the same time #isedchat

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:32 PM EDT

a4 I guess post-its count as technology...#isedchat

nathan_stevens Jul 14 @ 9:32 PM EDT

@reshanrichards we have some that for #Edtechchat #isedchat

JosieHolford Jul 14 @ 9:33 PM EDT

What your tweet review? @crottymark @blendingleaders #isedchat

reshanrichards Jul 14 @ 9:33 PM EDT

I agree (to a degree) that collaborative sketching and brainstorming on large paper is quite useful @nathan_stevens #isedchat

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:34 PM EDT

a4 Actually in off-line meetings often don't use much tech. Want lively, direct interaction as much as possible. #isedchat

sjvalentine Jul 14 @ 9:34 PM EDT

a4: Today I watched someone start a meeting with the wallet project (https://t.co/5Rv6klE4Z1) 1/2 #ISEDChat

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@JosieHolford @blendingleaders Do you mean give a tweet length review? #isedchat

JosieHolford Jul 14 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Classrooms are technology @crottymark #isedchat All the systems and structures

sjvalentine Jul 14 @ 9:35 PM EDT

a4: He then asked us to use the design thinking process to solve a problem we were currently struggling with (2/2). #ISEDChat

blendingleaders Jul 14 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Fifth question in one minute #ISEDChat

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@JosieHolford Good point! Why we missed you in these. #isedchat

blendingleaders Jul 14 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Q5: How do you use technology to increase sharing and diminish knowledge hoarding WITHIN your school? #ISEDchat

JosieHolford Jul 14 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Surprising that is still lurking about @sjvalentine DT is a really useful tool. Not sure wallet making matters a lot though. #isedchat

nathan_stevens Jul 14 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@blendingleaders A5 I think the answer to that is google docs #isedchat

JosieHolford Jul 14 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@blendingleaders https://t.co/225HM4XcAX are really useful. #isedchat

sjvalentine Jul 14 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@JosieHolford Wallet making might not matter, but moving from that problem to a school problem is good for teams (I have found). #isedchat

reshanrichards Jul 14 @ 9:38 PM EDT

I have found that collab. docs, 1 person (at least) needs to “own” cleaning up format/style/punct. @JosieHolford #isedchat

EricAfterSchool Jul 14 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Not well enough, but lots of committee minutes posted to intranet, lots of dedicated discussion boards, etc. #isedchat

JosieHolford Jul 14 @ 9:39 PM EDT

You need to have a purpose for the end result. If you want an end result that is. @reshanrichards #isedchat

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:39 PM EDT

a5 we use tech to share much more before meetings so that they can be more meaningful. #isedchat

kevinjruth Jul 14 @ 9:40 PM EDT

#isedchat Sorry, all, need to sign off! Thoughts are with those who experience violence in our otherwise beautiful world.

JosieHolford Jul 14 @ 9:40 PM EDT

Yes. But you don't have to. @crottymark @blendingleaders was just interested in your thoughts. #isedchat

crottymark Jul 14 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@JosieHolford @blendingleaders I'll take the challenge! Watch for it. #isedchat
