Hi All! Cristin from Cobb County School District. #CCSDinTech team lead. #TECHtalkGA

cristin_kennedy Sep 11 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A2: Cobb supports BTOD on all schools. #TECHtalkGA

JustMewborn Sep 11 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A2: We've been working with BYOT for a while now. I've found that it is a useful tool if managed correctly #techtalkga

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:04 PM EDT

#TECHtalkGA Q2: What's your background with #BYOT?

MrsBayerLSMS Sep 11 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A2: was BYOT, then in a school with 1:1 ipads, and now BYOT in my new school (plus 10 classroom chromebookz) #TECHtalkGA

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:08 PM EDT

#TECHtalkGA A2: I've been in @FCSchoolsGA since 2000, so my only background is #BYOT, as designed by @BYOTNetwork for us way back when :)

#TECHtalkGA Q3: What's the worst way you've seen #BYOT being used in the classroom?

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Sarah, where were you with 1:1 iPads? Was that in Marietta w/@MandeeJablonski? #TECHtalkGA

In reply to @MrsBayerLSMS, @MandeeJablonski

cristin_kennedy Sep 11 @ 9:11 PM EDT

A3: devices playing music in class while doing 20th century assignments. #TECHtalkGA

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:10 PM EDT

#TECHtalkGA Q3: What's the worst way you've seen #BYOT being used in the classroom?

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT

#TECHtalkGA A3: So many, but worst is when devices are used as babysitters, not to increase engagement, learning, or human interactions!

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:10 PM EDT

#TECHtalkGA Q3: What's the worst way you've seen #BYOT being used in the classroom?

JustMewborn Sep 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A3: Free reign usage as a management tool. This is dangerous and doesn't fulfill an instructional purpose. #techtalkga

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:10 PM EDT

#TECHtalkGA Q3: What's the worst way you've seen #BYOT being used in the classroom?

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Right? Just play music! #TECHtalkGA

In reply to @cristin_kennedy

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Oh! Don't get me started! Tech use doesn't mean that the T gets to ignore basic classroom management principles! #TECHtalkGA

In reply to @JustMewborn

MrsBayerLSMS Sep 11 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A3: I'm not sure. Nothing's really coming to mind! #TECHtalkGA

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Yay! That's awesome! Hope to continue that! #TECHtalkGA

#TECHtalkGA Q4: Now on to the positive! What's the BEST way you've seen #BYOT used?

MrsBayerLSMS Sep 11 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A4: students post projects on class padlet wall, view each other's work, & give feedback #TECHtalkGA

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:18 PM EDT

#TECHtalkGA A4: Best I've seen is T who designed 4 diff stations, each w/a diff output (artsy, written, spoken, etc.) but let Ss choose how

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#TECHtalkGA Q4: Now on to the positive! What's the BEST way you've seen #BYOT used?

MrsBayerLSMS Sep 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A4b and my students LOVE playing quizlet live #TECHtalkGA

cristin_kennedy Sep 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A4: wow! So many good examples! Students showing what they know by creating, collaborating, and sharing to an audience. #TECHtalkGA

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:16 PM EDT

#TECHtalkGA Q4: Now on to the positive! What's the BEST way you've seen #BYOT used?

JustMewborn Sep 11 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A4: Hard to choose a best. Really like how teachers use it for creatove purposes, and to give another option to students. #techtalkga

#TECHtalkGA Q5: Now for the most important part - How do you coach Ts to get from those worst-case scenarios to the BEST-case ones??

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

#TECHtalkGA A5: I chose this pic b/c I think it includes so many good ideals: modeling, encouragement, setting goals, inspiring with WHY

cristin_kennedy Sep 11 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A5: #ccsdintech team has created a BYOD certification for Ts & Ls. Team uses coaching cycle strategies. Listening and modeling. #TECHtalkGA

#TECHtalkGA Q5: Now for the most important part - How do you coach Ts to get from those worst-case scenarios to the BEST-case ones??

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT

#TECHtalkGA Remember that coaching isn't limited to only "official" #edtechcoaches roles - if you do it, you can learn to coach it!

#TECHtalkGA Q5: Now for the most important part - How do you coach Ts to get from those worst-case scenarios to the BEST-case ones??

JustMewborn Sep 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A5: I love peer observations as a way to model good use of BYOT. It should be used to aid the lesson, not just to have tech. #techtalkga

MrsBayerLSMS Sep 11 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A5: sharing successes, having an example that applies to their content, offering to sit with them while they plan something new #TECHtalkGA

MmeBurgess - Moderator Sep 11 @ 9:28 PM EDT

Yes! Even as an #edtechcoach I hate to see tech for tech's sake! Focus on the learning goal, NOT the tech! #TECHtalkGA
