A1: It's been a mix of frustration and professional growth. But TN Ready has left a bad taste in a lot of Ts mouth. #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Mar 1 @ 8:06 PM EST

A1: My Ts feel very removed from the testing process. Younger grades did feel need for "practice" but we aren't high stakes #tntechchat

@tcarey98 #tntechchat Hi everyone, Rachelle from Pittsburgh, in for a bit, A1 Mixed feelings, some like #edtech but tech probs cause havoc

mbswoods Mar 1 @ 8:07 PM EST

@TeachTnTech my Ts hated leaving their rooms for tests. I got to babysit Ss and Ts had off period. No more! #tntechchat

1DanLawson Mar 1 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1) High quality instructional delivery has little relationship to an inferior online test experience. #TNTechChat

tcarey98 Mar 1 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: Online Testing pushed districts to invest in new tech. The failure of TN Ready has caused doubts in that investment by Ps. #tntechchat

mbswoods Mar 1 @ 8:09 PM EST

@tcarey98 so are many of your test digital? In TX our STAAR test is still paper #tntechchat

I've been very interested in how testing has caused parent groups to advocate for their children. #tntechchat

oodlesofteach Mar 1 @ 8:11 PM EST

@tcarey98 We need to show Ps that investment in tech is not a waste. Sts need to learn how to use tech as a tool for discovery. #tntechchat

a5: I love @TechGoesHomeCHA to create equitable opportunities. Right @Gregbagby ? #tntechchat

TeachTnTech - Moderator Mar 1 @ 8:42 PM EST

A5: Verizon providing hot spots for Ss' homes on 2yr basis 4 free. Ts mst apply with Admin support. More like progs on the rise. #tntechchat

mrscparr Mar 1 @ 8:43 PM EST

#tntechchat I liked the idea of kiosks accessible. Or extended hours at school with Ps access to tech. https://t.co/HZk87Xv9fE

Q5: How can we advocate for low-SES groups or those with limited connectivity? #tntechchat

B_Castelluccio Mar 1 @ 8:43 PM EST

A5: Through technology, learning becomes accessible for building background knowledge for low-SES #tntechchat.

tcarey98 Mar 1 @ 8:44 PM EST

@chargerrific @TeachTnTech but so many of us, even me, have accepted that as the norm for pioneering innovation. #wecandobetter #tntechchat

B_Castelluccio Mar 1 @ 8:44 PM EST

@TeachTnTech I am going to look into this! #tntechchat

1DanLawson Mar 1 @ 8:44 PM EST

A5) Imperative to provide voice for voiceless. We rolled out 1:1 insisted on wifi for public housing...made the case, won. BIG! #TNTechChat

A1:⬆️receptive, as long as⚡️Voldemort isn't disturbed A2: It's Silicon Valley A3: iDo PD A4: Show improvement in TestScores BOOM!#tntechchat

@B_Castelluccio Schools around me have been awarded the hot spots - I know it can happen. Good luck! #tntechchat

B_Castelluccio Mar 1 @ 8:45 PM EST

@1DanLawson Congrats! Awesome to hear this happening! #tntechchat

tfuhrman Mar 1 @ 8:45 PM EST

A5: Demonstrate the need by explaining human capital in terms that make sense; show potential payback of #edtech investment. #tntechchat

Rdene915 Mar 1 @ 8:45 PM EST

@tcarey98 #tntechchat A5 Be knowledgeable abt resources avail, how Ss and families can access in community, continue to advocate for tech

1DanLawson Mar 1 @ 8:45 PM EST

A5b) and we can't hold back because all don't have the same...some ride the bus while others have a car. FUNCTIONAL #TNTechChat

@TeachTnTech Thanks! I agree- anything to get tech into hands of Ss! #tntechchat

chargerrific - Moderator Mar 1 @ 8:48 PM EST

@tcarey98 @TeachTnTech Is tech still "pioneering innovation"? If it is considered that, there's the district issue. #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 1 @ 8:49 PM EST

Q6 coming up in 1 minute… #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 1 @ 8:50 PM EST

Q6: How are you teaching advocacy to students? #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 1 @ 8:50 PM EST

A5: After 10 years in Title I, the most important thing we did was bring families into the building. F2F still important. #tntechchat

@B_Castelluccio @TeachTnTech iPersonally hate Verizon. They purposely mess w/my📲so iHave to 📞+speak to make reps. #tntechchat But this👂🏼gr8!

TeachTnTech - Moderator Mar 1 @ 8:51 PM EST

@chargerrific @tcarey98 Still considered "pioneering innovation" by some, but should be considered "essential tool" - sad/true. #tntechchat

8blahblahblah8 Mar 1 @ 8:52 PM EST

@B_Castelluccio @TeachTnTech Hope it's not a ploy to talk to young, vivacious and unsuspecting teenage girls. #tntechchat #Verizon ^EW

chargerrific - Moderator Mar 1 @ 8:52 PM EST

a6: me to Ss: "If you find value, tell your Ps, Ts, Admin." "Prove that it is helpful by appropriate use." "Ask for options" #tntechchat

tfuhrman Mar 1 @ 8:52 PM EST

A6: @chris_tenbarge @kathylynnpryor @lancerkey and I had the opportunity to bring Ss to LEAD conference to share their learning. #tntechchat

tntechgal Mar 1 @ 8:52 PM EST

A5: rural area, very few businesses, challenge for access, several homes/schools dont' have it,state sld look at equity access #tntechchat

1DanLawson Mar 1 @ 8:52 PM EST

A6) has to be relationship based not "high tech" but "high touch," our newest #OER incorporates student video instead of KHAN #TNTechChat

chargerrific - Moderator Mar 1 @ 8:53 PM EST

@TeachTnTech @tcarey98 Playing the devil's advocate there. I deal with that mindset 2. Still feeling like we must PROVE worth. #tntechchat

1DanLawson Mar 1 @ 8:54 PM EST

A6b) imagine the advocacy that takes places as a fifth grades teachers her peers in the curriculum, as a 9th grader reads to 1st.#TNTechChat

A6 in special ed we teach the first step, communication, which will lead to advocacy. How is based individually #TnTechChat

tcarey98 Mar 1 @ 8:55 PM EST

@chargerrific @TeachTnTech right, and that's where i feel the advocacy comes in. Innovation should be rule not the exception. #tntechchat

TeachTnTech - Moderator Mar 1 @ 8:56 PM EST

@chargerrific @tcarey98 Agreed and Amen!! #tntechchat

chris_tenbarge Mar 1 @ 8:56 PM EST

@1DanLawson This is perfect! I hope in the near future, you can showcase this to a wider audience #tntechchat

tcarey98 Mar 1 @ 8:57 PM EST

A6: I was never prouder of my students then when they showed off our 3rd Printer at a PBL Expo. They felt like rockstars! #tntechchat
