  • sratanguera Mar 19 @ 8:08 PM EDT
    Most of my resources come from digital communities like #langchat or #mfltwitterati . Great lurking for WL, even if not an active participant. @actfl is my professional org of choice for resources, and I also use communities around tools like @Flipgrid or @nearpod #JCPSChat

    Q1. A1. I have a daughter who teaches in NYC and I used to teach in Orange County, CA so I stay in contact with those teacher/colleagues who have a larger ESL population to see what is working with their scholars and see if it is a fit. #SIOP18 #jcpschat

    Q6: From @teacherladyKY - How can we leverage technology beyond just a ‘giver of information’ to deepen student learning through synthesis & creation? #JCPSChat #KyTechChat
  • JCPSHealth_PE Mar 19 @ 8:42 PM EDT
    Believe or not, @GoNoodle has some great mindfulness resources #JCPSChat
  • RobFulk Mar 19 @ 8:43 PM EDT
    A5.2- and as I think about it more this is a real that quality training for the GCCs to master specifically from a digital/ online perspective to them train team leads and DCs. #jcpschat
  • Stella_Pollard Mar 19 @ 8:43 PM EDT
    A6: Let technology be the tool that helps you identify the strengths and weaknesses in your students’ learning. Technology can be so powerful for individualizing lessons when it is used correctly. #JCPSchat
  • h2ocasa23 Mar 19 @ 8:43 PM EDT
    A5: It requires plenty of sifting through the online resources and regularly unpacking the standards. For science, @PhETsims align well with NGSS standards. #JCPSChat
  • dperkinsed Mar 19 @ 8:43 PM EDT
    A5 Assuming you've aligned smartly, does it (or they) help answer the questions students need to know? #jcpschat

    A6.1: getting out of our comfort zones as teachers! Trying new things and viewing tech as a tool for specific end goals but not something to use bc we can and it’s sometimes “easier” on us. #jcpschat
    In reply to @jcpsforward, @TeacherLadyKY
  • sratanguera Mar 19 @ 8:44 PM EDT
    A6.1: My technology evaluation answer is always "What can it do better than just paper and pencil?" Technology as a mere analog for something else does not promote grown in students or teachers. Instead, before use, it should be evaluated for its built in Inquiry...#JCPSChat
  • dperkinsed Mar 19 @ 8:44 PM EDT
    A6 That depends...where did you ask students to start on Bloom's Taxonomy? If you've asked them to start at "create" then the #edtech flows much easier into synthesis and creation. #jcpschat

    EdTech is a powerful tool to deliver knowledge. It is not the solution to every problem. A bad lesson is still a bad lesson even if it is in a google classroom. We have to keep that in mind. #jcpschat
  • melisdav Mar 19 @ 8:45 PM EDT
    A6. Trust or learners. They dominate with tech and we should be listening to them and use sound pedagogy that teaches them how to use that tech savvy to synthesize, create, learn! #JCPSChat

    A6:Be discerning. Don’t choose and use all new tech that you find. It’s overwhelming for students. Push yourself to find new ways to use one piece of tech in as many ways as you can. I just rolled out @Flipgrid and have used it to create and evaluate across subjects #JCPSChat

  • Justus2Teach Mar 19 @ 8:49 PM EDT
    A6 - With technology, you've got to be purposeful in it's use. Technology must be "value-add" and not the "thinker" of the lesson/activity. Many times it's used because it's just FUN. #JCPSChat
  • jvanhKY Mar 19 @ 8:49 PM EDT
    A6 i’d love to see our schools do more partnering with international partners. I earn is one way if you can’t do it on your own. They’ll match you with the school for a specific project. That depends the learning and broadens the network for your learners. #jcpschat
  • mikepaul Mar 19 @ 8:49 PM EDT

  • ChanThaMann Mar 19 @ 8:50 PM EDT
    #jcpschat I think we are all "woke" to this idea in general but it is the implementation, the "how we get from A to B" that keeps me up at night 🤔 Well, that and the occasional case of heartburn but that is neither here nor there... 😄
