Hi #FLedchat - been awhile, checking in from Seattle, good to see you https://t.co/57aZWbasAo

clrobin1914 Feb 17 @ 8:05 PM EST

Q1 The trend is heading towards tech in class. How do you integrate tech in classes to improve stud achievement? Flipped? Blended? #fledchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:05 PM EST

@dkonopelko Hi Doug! Hope things are going well in Martin County! #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:05 PM EST

It's so great to see so many back tonight. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:05 PM EST

@ohsoearly Welcome back, Aron (with 1 A). #FLedChat

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:06 PM EST

I can't wait to talk about cider blocks and beams and doors on #FLedChat

cybraryman1 Feb 17 @ 8:06 PM EST

@clrobin1914 The trend may be towards tech but many schools are not utilizing it or doing it correctly. #FLedchat

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:06 PM EST

@clrobin1914 a1 we use a semi flipped model where students learn to program at home and work on projects during class #FLedchat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:06 PM EST

A1. I think it depends on the group of Ss you have. Before the method of tech int. is chosen, get to know the Ss. #FLedChat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:06 PM EST

A1 - It is all about MEANINGFUL integration, and the model for integration has to suit the students/teacher/class #FLEdChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1: Tech is my class. I do wish we had a larger variety of options for my students. #FLedChat

ohsoearly Feb 17 @ 8:07 PM EST

@nathan_stevens quality manufacturing #FLedchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1 I flip and I have a set of tablets for class use. #FLedchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1: Our new focus is to use tech to help students become adaptable, communicators, and problem solvers. #FLedChat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1: Although difficult, the technology and integration must be differentiated, just like the instruction! #FLEdChat

clrobin1914 Feb 17 @ 8:08 PM EST

Q1. Can you give more details on a semi-flipped model? #FLedchat

cybraryman1 Feb 17 @ 8:08 PM EST

A1 We must keep in mind not all students learn the same way. eg My grandson did poorly in flipped math class. #FLedchat

ShanaVWhite Feb 17 @ 8:08 PM EST

Good evening everyone. Shana from Georgia popping in for a bit #FLedchat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:08 PM EST

Sean Richter. School counselor at Southwestern Middle @Smsvcs1 in @volusiaschools #FLedchat

DrHarrisonMcCoy Feb 17 @ 8:09 PM EST

Good evening. I'm Harrison from Arlington, Texas #FLedChat

ohsoearly Feb 17 @ 8:09 PM EST

Use the tech to enhance whatever good stuff you're already doing or ideally would do - flip it, blend it, teach it, make it #FLedchat

ShanaVWhite Feb 17 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: I'm not in a classroom, but encourage my Ts to use whatever is best for their Ss. Baby steps for some, giant leaps for others #FLedchat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:09 PM EST

#FLedchat Evan Robb checking in from VA-- my daughter lives in Fl!!1

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:09 PM EST

@cybraryman1 Definitely important to keep in mind. Which is why flipping is far more than videos, have to know your Ss #FLedchat

clrobin1914 Feb 17 @ 8:09 PM EST

@cybraryman1 What do you think schools can do to utilize technology in schools better and more effectively? #FLedchat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:10 PM EST

@DrHarrisonMcCoy great to have you on board with #fledchat tonight!!

marandavc Feb 17 @ 8:10 PM EST

Hey #FledChat I'm late to the party but excited to be here! Maranda from Iowa, principal & SpEd Director.

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:10 PM EST

@ERobbPrincipal Hi Evan! Glad you could join us. #FLedchat

inspiredAP Feb 17 @ 8:10 PM EST

Agreed! We must meet teachers were they are and coach them up! #FLedchat https://t.co/jRlDDfLjRn

ShanaVWhite Feb 17 @ 8:09 PM EST

Good evening! I'm Stephanie from NC. I am a HS Principal. #FLedchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:10 PM EST

@marandavc Hi Maranda, thanks for joining us tonight. #FLedChat

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:11 PM EST

@clrobin1914 we are higher Ed so it is a little different. Watching videos is not required but it might help them get done faster #FLedchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:11 PM EST

@marandavc Hey Maranda. Welcome! #FLedchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:11 PM EST

So many of my Ss, my class is their primary access to Tech. But we're working on that. #FLedChat

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:11 PM EST

@sayscye Yyyyeeeeaaah another NC person in #FLedchat

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:11 PM EST

Darrell, #CTE #STEM Focus Teacher in North Carolina saying hello "alil" late, but never #fledchat

cybraryman1 Feb 17 @ 8:11 PM EST

@clrobin1914 They have to get out of the lock-step test prep & have admin that promote being connected & integrating tech #FLedchat

DrHarrisonMcCoy Feb 17 @ 8:11 PM EST

@TG_Neil Mine, too. It's different when you teach tech. I find I reverse integrate -- integrate geo, bio, Eng, etc into my class. #FLedchat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:12 PM EST

@clrobin1914 @cybraryman1 A1 #FLedchat Adopt a philosophy that tech should be used to not only enhance learning but transform learning

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:12 PM EST

NC taking over #FLedChat that is what's up

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:12 PM EST

#FLEdChat so true, this is such a great time to be in tech as well... we are making huge strides this year!

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:12 PM EST

A1- Flipped classrooms could allow for more time-on-task for #teacher to get more bang for buck in delivering instructions #fledchat

clrobin1914 Feb 17 @ 8:13 PM EST

Q2. How do you effectively incorporate a Maker Space/ STEAMLAB to keep students engaged? What skills are needed for Ts & Ss? #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:13 PM EST

.@DrHarrisonMcCoy My primary focus is Microsoft Industry Certs. Makes it more difficult to integrate when its skills focused. #FLedchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:13 PM EST

@dwalker_l Hi Darrell! Glad you are with us tonight! #FLedChat

inspiredAP Feb 17 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: Personalized learning is what our students need. 1 size does not fit all. Use technology as the tool to enhance learning #FLedchat

cybraryman1 Feb 17 @ 8:13 PM EST

@dkonopelko Great to have you there as they were in Stone Age before you came. I was in the schools & saw tech just gathering dust #FLedchat

marandavc Feb 17 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: Allowing Ss to solve problems, investigate problems, and bring tech into the classroom is how I see it happening. #seemless #FLedchat

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:13 PM EST

@clrobin1914 A1 we play tech roulette and student get to spin for tech. Not the stone tablets again. #FLedchat #Glittersnark

paulemcneil Feb 17 @ 8:14 PM EST

Ed Tech used to inform learning, teaching, leadership Ed Tech used to inc academic achievement #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:14 PM EST

@nathan_stevens NC just wants to be #FLedChat Come on Down! :-)

sayscye Feb 17 @ 8:14 PM EST

A1. I believe it is dependent on the comfort level of the teacher 1st, then you move the students. Flipped classes are great! #FLedchat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2. My #makerspace is coming along--now to get scheduling down so the Ss can come & create! #FLedChat

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:14 PM EST

A1cont- Allowing Ss to create more self-made videos to reach as many modalities as possible including the #21stcentury learner. #fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2 - martin county is relatively new to the makerspace world, the toughest part is integrating it into the curriculum #FLedchat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:15 PM EST

@ERobbPrincipal @clrobin1914 @cybraryman1 However Tech is a tool;4 tech to transform; Ts must be constantly trained on tech in PL #fledchat

marandavc Feb 17 @ 8:15 PM EST

A1: Inquiry should drive this process. Ss voice is a powerful tool to use in design and structure. #FLedchat

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:15 PM EST

@clrobin1914 A2 our class is a 10000% maker. We let students pick the project and the best tools to complete the activity #FLedchat

inspiredAP Feb 17 @ 8:15 PM EST

I want to hear more about how you made this happen #FLedchat https://t.co/qUVr38Fe6d

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2. My #makerspace is coming along--now to get scheduling down so the Ss can come & create! #FLedChat

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:15 PM EST

@KristinCHarr Thank you & glad to be here!! #fledchat #collaboration #pln

cybraryman1 Feb 17 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2 Here in Polk County administrators had no idea what Makerspaces were. #FLedchat My Makerspace page https://t.co/z0DHTTx5zq

paulemcneil Feb 17 @ 8:15 PM EST

The #makerspace is bridging communities & schools #FLedChat @clrobin1914 @NMHS_lms

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2 - The biggest part is that Ts have to be ok with the fact that they may not have answers and have to learn along with the Ss #FLEdChat

ShiftParadigm Feb 17 @ 8:16 PM EST

ONLY A FEW teachers teach us about teaching. Who were yours? Read about mine -> https://t.co/WV4Db6cvQb #FLedchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: We're not incorporating Maker Space YET. Plans for next year. #FLedChat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:16 PM EST

@clrobin1914 A2 #FLedchat transformed 1/3 of my library to a makerspace- most popular space in our school!

DrHarrisonMcCoy Feb 17 @ 8:16 PM EST

@TG_Neil Mine is IC3, but my curriculum is mostly about MS Office + digital citizenship and computer hardware. We should visit. #FLedchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:16 PM EST

I agree Doug. I have more experience with #pbl and find it easier to integrate with standards. Love the idea though :). #FLedChat.

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:16 PM EST

@inspiredAP I found a corner of the MC I could dedicate to it. I did a lot of PD and I have used book fair money to start. #FLedChat

clrobin1914 Feb 17 @ 8:16 PM EST

Q2. @FLRichter The one thing teachers say they need more of is time. How do you find the time for technology training? #FLedchat

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:16 PM EST

@dkonopelko your teachers have been doing maker before there was a name. If you need help integrating let me know #FLedchat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:17 PM EST

@clrobin1914 @FLRichter we've moved some of our tech training to Saturdays... pretty good turnout so far #FLEdChat

paulemcneil Feb 17 @ 8:17 PM EST

MakerSpace, "It is about the philosophy, not the stuff." @pottsedtech. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:17 PM EST

@DrHarrisonMcCoy Yes, we should. I'm supposed to add IC3 next year. Would love to chat sometime. #FLedChat

KRenaeP Feb 17 @ 8:17 PM EST

Ss need to be able to collaborate and share what they've learned. Ts need to be able to step back and allow Ss to fail and learn. #FLedchat

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:17 PM EST

@cybraryman1 that is sad. #FLedchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:17 PM EST

@FLRichter @ERobbPrincipal @clrobin1914 @cybraryman1 or at the very least PD on the tech that's already accessible to them. #FLedchat

clrobin1914 Feb 17 @ 8:17 PM EST

Q2. @ERobbPrincipal What does the 1/3 of your library look like? How do the students utilize that space? #FLedchat

inspiredAP Feb 17 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2: Looking at the structure of your schedule and making it a priority for students to take part. #FLedchat

ShanaVWhite Feb 17 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2: Be creative. Make it worth their time. Allow them to tinker with the technology. #FLedchat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:17 PM EST

@marandavc A1 #FLedchat Great ideas! All future focused- We need to prepare students for their future nor our past!

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:18 PM EST

@dkonopelko you have to be ok with the co-learner model. It doesn't matter is it work or doesn't. You have to tell why #FLedchat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:18 PM EST

@paulemcneil @pottsedtech Absolutely! I want to see my Ss creating--in lots of forms. #FLedChat

DrHarrisonMcCoy Feb 17 @ 8:18 PM EST

@marandavc I was unhappy with full on flipping because it minimized the inquiry stage. I'm inquiry flipping now. #FLedchat

TeachingFactor Feb 17 @ 8:18 PM EST

#FLedchat #tcrwp #engchat #elachat Mark your calendars for this Sunday 2/21 9PM EST when #ISTelitchat unleashes the poetry across Twitter

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2- Legos, duct tape, rubiks cubes, old computer, & other manipulatives can engage learners, even reluctant ones #fledchat #spatial #kinesio

cybraryman1 Feb 17 @ 8:18 PM EST

@Celeste_Clemons @FLRichter @ERobbPrincipal @clrobin1914 I witnessed school board refusing to spend money to bring in trainers. #FLedchat

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:18 PM EST

@ShanaVWhite you have to allow students time to play to experience what a tool can and cannot do #FLedchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:18 PM EST

@dkonopelko Yes! This is so hard for many Ts. Gotta let go....and then learn. #FLedchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:19 PM EST

We don't fail in my class. We make TONS of mistakes but failing only occurs when we give up. #FLedChat https://t.co/MTd1VbJxLT

paulemcneil Feb 17 @ 8:19 PM EST

Classrooms are a place of HOPE not fear Flexible spaces @pottsedtech. #FLedchat @kmhmartin @pottsedtech

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:19 PM EST

@dwalker_l and paper. Don't forget paper #FLedchat

clrobin1914 Feb 17 @ 8:20 PM EST

Q2. Saturdays for training? That is interesting.Are the teachers being paid? How do you get so many teachers to come voluntarily? #FLedchat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:20 PM EST

@FLRichter @clrobin1914 @cybraryman1 A2 #FLedchat I agree-- PD and resources like an ITRT in each school make a real difference!

patrickfhansen Feb 17 @ 8:20 PM EST

@Celeste_Clemons @ERobbPrincipal @cybraryman1 Seems like a no-brainer right? Why even invest if you are unconcerned with usage? #FLedchat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:20 PM EST

Maybe I'm just a big old nerd, but if I want to learn about something I will make the time. #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:20 PM EST

@clrobin1914 Check out @EdCampStAug or @EdcampBranford Lots of great learning on Saturdays around FL. #FLedChat

KRenaeP Feb 17 @ 8:21 PM EST

Failure is sometimes part of the process. Prototypes fail. Inventions fail. Trials fail. Failure should be an optionl #FLedchat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:21 PM EST

@TG_Neil @clrobin1914 @EdCampStAug @EdcampBranford I can't wait! #FLedChat

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:21 PM EST

@cybraryman1 they have to see that engagement in real tools will raise student knowledge #FLedChat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:21 PM EST

@clrobin1914 We are paying them for a full 'cycle' of PD. Saturday session, video of integration, collaborative reflection session #FLEdChat

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:21 PM EST

@Celeste_Clemons @ShanaVWhite you also have to work on your question asking skills. Ask questions with multiple outcomes #FLedChat

patrickfhansen Feb 17 @ 8:21 PM EST

@Celeste_Clemons @dkonopelko Good point. A shift in mindset can be a difficult process #FLedchat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:22 PM EST

@clrobin1914 Let's get Ss/Ts to make videos, #videoconference about tech usage to train teachers "at" school. #FlippingTheFlip #fledchat

clrobin1914 Feb 17 @ 8:23 PM EST

Q3. Block Schedule vs 6/7 Period vs A-B Scheduling. What is the most effective way to have students retain and apply knowledge? #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:23 PM EST

@DrHarrisonMcCoy Lynda is good but intrinsically motivated Ts will use it; how do you move & train the less motivated? #fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:23 PM EST

@dwalker_l @clrobin1914 and then take this flip, flip it, then flip it over, and begin flipping #FLEdChat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:23 PM EST

@kmhmartin Ditto! #FLedchat

ShanaVWhite Feb 17 @ 8:23 PM EST

@nathan_stevens @Celeste_Clemons yes, big difference between highway thinking and tunnel thinking...lots of paths or just one #FLedchat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:23 PM EST

A3. Since I do elem., I really don't have a clue! #FLedChat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:24 PM EST

A3: I've taught in all three. I don't really see one as more effective than the other. Depends on implementation and expectations. #FLedChat

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:24 PM EST

@dkonopelko @clrobin1914 Indeed!! #fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:24 PM EST

A3: I enjoyed our modified block, which was really A/B, gave more time for PBLs, and some serious DEPTH to a lesson #FLEdChat

paulemcneil Feb 17 @ 8:24 PM EST

Being a connected educator has eliminated time as an excuse for PD #FLedChat

cybraryman1 Feb 17 @ 8:24 PM EST

@nathan_stevens They are only concerned about school rating & test scores. Prevent staff & students from innovating & connecting #FLedchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:24 PM EST

A3: Coming from elementary background, I would go with Block. #FLedChat

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:25 PM EST

@cybraryman1 then students are doomed #fledchat

patrickfhansen Feb 17 @ 8:25 PM EST

@TechCoach_Holli Agreed! I'm in the process of beginning that journey with my Ss. Any tips or pitfalls to avoid? #FLedchat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:25 PM EST

@clrobin1914 A3 N/A to me so how about a funny meme #FLedchat

KRenaeP Feb 17 @ 8:25 PM EST

@kmhmartin Those are updates and improvements. Not always failure. We shouldn't fear failure; we should absolutely learn from it. #fledchat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:25 PM EST

@KristinCHarr That does make sense as that's how we structure our days. #FLedChat

A3 However found this and find it interesting-each class 3x a week plus collaboration time & tutoring #fledchat https://t.co/fWoqu6XjWe

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:28 PM EST

A3- Yikes those EC Ss & Reg. Ed Ss have a time with those schedules. They #learn best by doing, record, build, model. #KitchenSink #fledchat

cybraryman1 Feb 17 @ 8:29 PM EST

A3 The most effective way to have students retain & apply knowledge is to emerge themselves in learning. #FLedchat https://t.co/fx5QKrYynW

KRenaeP Feb 17 @ 8:29 PM EST

@marandavc That's a hard discussion because the answer may be different that what has always been done. #fledchat https://t.co/beKeFXNMo1

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:29 PM EST

@FLRichter I can't imagine this in practice... so much to keep track of... #FLEdChat

patrickfhansen Feb 17 @ 8:29 PM EST

@nathan_stevens @cybraryman1 I think Ts need 2 be shown the value of the tool & given support towards successful implementation #FLedchat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:29 PM EST

@inspiredAP @marandavc A3 #FLedchat Right on!!Our interest in people or leaders stems from us getting their "why" they do not what they do!

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:30 PM EST

Another one #FLedchat https://t.co/RLTvNB2Q2e

nathan_stevens Feb 17 @ 8:30 PM EST

@patrickfhansen @cybraryman1 students know more about tools then we expect them to. Let them drive the class. #FLedchat

clrobin1914 Feb 17 @ 8:31 PM EST

Q4 Sports have a profound effect on S performance.What is the impact of incorporating intramurals(All Ss) vs Team Sports(tryouts)? #fledchat

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:31 PM EST

@FLRichter Looking at that schedule is gonna make me go get a XL pizza, heavy toppings :) #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:31 PM EST

@dkonopelko similar to a rotating period schedule--benefit-Ss who don't do well in the am will not have the same am class each day #fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:31 PM EST

A4 - haven't seen a lot of IMs used in schools as yet... interesting thought @clrobin1914 #FLEdChat

KRenaeP Feb 17 @ 8:32 PM EST

@nathan_stevens @patrickfhansen @cybraryman1 Love this. We need to be like Elsa and let it go. Our Ss can do it. #FLedchat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:32 PM EST

A4. I'm for both--that way Ss can have the opportunity to participate if they wish. #FLedChat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:32 PM EST

@clrobin1914 A4 #FLedchat The more connected and involved students are to school the better they do! Build team and community- school pride!

cybraryman1 Feb 17 @ 8:32 PM EST

@nathan_stevens @patrickfhansen Yes! #stuvoice #FLedchat https://t.co/j3cKePhzBp

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:33 PM EST

@dwalker_l maybe but Disney Imagineers use Blue Sky moments-time when nothing is discredited & has merit-so why not that schedule? #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:33 PM EST

A4: Not all students want to participate in sports. Learning about health yes, but required to participate with a team - no. #FLedChat

DrHarrisonMcCoy Feb 17 @ 8:33 PM EST

A4: As an early college high school, all we have are intramurals that we share with a community college. It's refreshing! #FLedChat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:34 PM EST

A4 #fledchat https://t.co/bfad1Yiqlq

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:34 PM EST

@clrobin1914 Movement stimulate those #neurons in the brain improving cognition. Intramurals gives all Ss a chance, team dont. #fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:34 PM EST

Good classroom management is important in differentiating between student-centered and teacher-absent. #FLEdChat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:34 PM EST

A4 #fledchat https://t.co/v2AhvxIrP7

patrickfhansen Feb 17 @ 8:34 PM EST

A4: Both are great for school culture. So much to be learned from being on a team in general, no matter the context #FLedchat

KRenaeP Feb 17 @ 8:35 PM EST

Q4 is an interesting question, and I have no answer, but it's cool how NFL teams got their names. #FLedchat #WhoDat https://t.co/cP3HPlb9Oo

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:35 PM EST

A4 Consider when deciding the benefits of physical activity #fledchat https://t.co/UijV9t5qm6

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:35 PM EST

@TG_Neil A4 #FLedchat The connection is the key- chorus- band- flag Corp- clubs- intranurals- team sports!

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:35 PM EST

@FLRichter And they are doing it for FUN--not aiming for a scholarship. #FLedChat Kickball anyone?

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:35 PM EST

@FLRichter Just humor but thanks! #fledchat #FlexGrouping #Accommodations

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:35 PM EST

A4: I think providing a choice of physical activity. Intramural sports are great, but hard to keep up with for life-long fitness. #FLedChat

ShanaVWhite Feb 17 @ 8:36 PM EST

A4: Sport is a selling point for many Ss but not all. As a former H/PE Ss making healthy choices is huge but did not stress sports #FLedchat

marandavc Feb 17 @ 8:37 PM EST

@clrobin1914 I think schedules R built w/ here is our chunk of time, how many period does that give us, & then the sched is made. #FledChat

patrickfhansen Feb 17 @ 8:38 PM EST

@ShanaVWhite Plus you see too many HS Ss focus so much on sports as a future career and then crash hard when it doesn't work out #FLedchat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:39 PM EST

https://t.co/HbQ2OiTNq6 Some school even use stationary bikes to increase S focus & physical activity #fledchat

clrobin1914 Feb 17 @ 8:40 PM EST

Q5. How do you design media centers to effectively meet the constantly changing needs of students (21st century skills/tech/ECT)? #fledchat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:40 PM EST

@patrickfhansen @ShanaVWhite A4 #FLedchat I agree-- student athlete- not athlete student!

GruntledChalkie Feb 17 @ 8:40 PM EST

Hi #FLedchat Carl from Emerald Australia

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:40 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie Hey, Carl! #FLedChat

GruntledChalkie Feb 17 @ 8:41 PM EST

A personal observation. My daughter became much more engaged in school when she realised it could lead to a sports career #FLedchat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:41 PM EST

@kmhmartin many great lessons learned in intramural; teamwork;supporting others; taking the lead; learning to follow;humility, etc #fledchat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:41 PM EST

@clrobin1914 We are building one now!! So exciting!! Space for collaboration, hands-on interactive technology use, makerspace, etc #FLEdChat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:41 PM EST

A5. Flexible seating w/instructional area, comfy reading spaces, areas for group work, & places for Ss to create! #FLedChat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:42 PM EST

@kmhmartin I'm supervising a private study session. They don't want me to interact so here I am trauling twitter #FLedchat

A5 Make sure you're in good standing with the media specialist... #sacredspace the "shhh no talking" space #FLedchat

KRenaeP Feb 17 @ 8:42 PM EST

@FLRichter I've read about the stationary bikes (and treadmills) and wondered just how practical it was. #FLedchat

patrickfhansen Feb 17 @ 8:42 PM EST

@ERobbPrincipal @ShanaVWhite definitely! Love when schools/coaches have policies that send the clear message- school before sports #FLedchat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:42 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie Welcome Carl! #FLedchat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:42 PM EST

@Celeste_Clemons I have the absolutely noisiest Media Center! #FLedChat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:42 PM EST

A5: Flexible learning spaces for collaboration and independent learning, variety of tech and research tools, space to create #FLedChat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:42 PM EST

A5 Posted this before but still good to see #fledchat https://t.co/Tg6OWW1ARf

GruntledChalkie Feb 17 @ 8:43 PM EST

Plus sports has taught my daughter much more about resilience than school could. then applies to school #FLedchat

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:43 PM EST

@clrobin1914 #MediaCenters are the hubs of a school's #literacy prog. Every1 must be on board for change. #DigitalHighways #fledchat #ByIn

TechCoach_Holli Feb 17 @ 8:44 PM EST

A3: Personally, I don't feel that a schedule determines whether or not a student retains or carries knowledge over. #FLedchat

GruntledChalkie Feb 17 @ 8:44 PM EST

@Celeste_Clemons Hello Celeste. Hope you're having a great day #FLedchat

patrickfhansen Feb 17 @ 8:44 PM EST

@TechCoach_Holli So what are some things you would do differently to develop a vision/philosophy? #FLedchat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:44 PM EST

@kmhmartin A5 #FLedchat Love the concept of redefining space-- we all grew up with rows- that does not make them good-

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:45 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie Absolutely; but we need to also consider alternatives for Ss who are not sports inclined...consider the arts etc #fledchat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:45 PM EST

@ERobbPrincipal @kmhmartin I keep moving books around--especially after I ask Ss what would make their searches easier. #FLedChat

patrickfhansen Feb 17 @ 8:46 PM EST

@FLRichter @kmhmartin Great points! And doing it all as a part of something bigger than yourself! #FLedchat

KRenaeP Feb 17 @ 8:46 PM EST

@FLRichter @FLedChat I understand that schools have seen success. Just wondering what that would actually look like in classroom. #FLedchat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:46 PM EST

A5 - We're putting in a presentation space, 2 interactive whiteboards, one that can lay flat, computer lab, flexible seating, etc #FLEDchat

patrickfhansen Feb 17 @ 8:46 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie @kmhmartin sounds engaging! :) #FLedchat

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:47 PM EST

@FLRichter @GruntledChalkie Sean I agree with you. Im sure Ss #surveys would help to improve learning for #visual Ss & so forth #fledchat

clrobin1914 Feb 17 @ 8:48 PM EST

Q6. Common Planning (subject or team)? How do you organize planning so teachers can collaborate and use data to drive instruction? #fledchat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:48 PM EST

@kmhmartin @E_Sheninger at #FETC shared schools using yoga balls not chairs/tables not deskscouches for Ss with + results #fledchat

GruntledChalkie Feb 17 @ 8:48 PM EST

@FLRichter Agreed The Arts can be seen in same light as sport. It boils down to helping S learn about themselves through passion #FLedchat

GruntledChalkie Feb 17 @ 8:49 PM EST

@patrickfhansen @kmhmartin I think it's not meant to be. #FLedchat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:49 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie Absolutely--Ss must be invested no matter what is being taught for it to truly be effective #fledchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:49 PM EST

A6: It's more about building the realationships between the Ts first. Collaboration will occur naturally when teachers bond. #FLedChat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:49 PM EST

A6. At my school grade levels have common planning & every other Monday after school is PLC time. #FLedChat

patrickfhansen Feb 17 @ 8:50 PM EST

A5: Thoughts on a makerspace in the media center vs. in a (currently) empty classroom? I'd have much more space in a classroom #FLedchat

KristinCHarr - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:50 PM EST

A6: Aside from the PLC Model, we are all using @OneNoteEDU for asynchronous planning among teams. #FLedChat

Techy_Margaret Feb 17 @ 8:50 PM EST

This is SOO important! Always build the #relationships first! Takes time but the payoff is HUGE #fledchat @TG_Neil

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:50 PM EST

@KristinCHarr @OneNoteEDU Same thing can be done with Google Docs. #FLedChat

dwalker_l Feb 17 @ 8:51 PM EST

@GruntledChalkie @FLRichter Let's #dance to incorporate the arts & activate cognition in those brains! #Kinesthetics #fledchat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:51 PM EST

@clrobin1914 /A6 #FLedchat Prioritize collaboration it happens if we make it a priority we expect kids to engage as staff we should do same

KRenaeP Feb 17 @ 8:51 PM EST

@patrickfhansen My answer: Why not both? #fledchat

GruntledChalkie Feb 17 @ 8:52 PM EST

@Techy_Margaret @TG_Neil Without relationships there is no teaching #FLedchat

dkonopelko - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:52 PM EST

Alright #FLEdChat, I'm out. See you next week!

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:52 PM EST

KRenaeP Feb 17 @ 8:53 PM EST

@Celeste_Clemons @FLRichter @FLedChat Did the kids bike and do instruction at the same time? #FLedchat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:53 PM EST

@patrickfhansen We all meet in one room in grade level groups. Coaches & admin circulate, listen, & offer ideas. #FLedChat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:54 PM EST

A6 no matter what you choose it should be based on what is in the best interest of the Ss #fledchat https://t.co/6RlPhgYOWa

KRenaeP Feb 17 @ 8:54 PM EST

@Techy_Margaret @TG_Neil Absolutely. Leaders often forget to build relationships and trust. Big Mistake. #FLedchat

ERobbPrincipal Feb 17 @ 8:54 PM EST

@patrickfhansen A5 #FLedchat I think of the library as the hub of the school- makerspace a perfect fit!

@ERobbPrincipal Yea that is what I am thinking, but it is hard to reimagine the space #FLedchat

clrobin1914 Feb 17 @ 8:56 PM EST

Q7. What is one takeaway from tonight's discussion? #FLedchat

kmhmartin Feb 17 @ 8:57 PM EST

A7. Get to know your Ss, be flexible, work toward providing Ss opportunities to create. #FLedChat

FLRichter Feb 17 @ 8:57 PM EST

@dwalker_l don't forget the middle; often the system focuses on 2 extremes & the middle is lost;a little push & mid Ss could excel #fledchat

ShanaVWhite Feb 17 @ 8:57 PM EST

@patrickfhansen my plan is to have one in the media center next year. #FLedchat

TG_Neil - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:57 PM EST

A7: There are many options. Work with others at your school to find the best fit for your students. #FLedChat

Celeste_Clemons - Moderator Feb 17 @ 8:57 PM EST

@KRenaeP @FLRichter @FLedChat 2 weeks bike safety,2 weeks riding lessons, 2-4 weeks incorporating bike rides through the community #FLedchat
