Q2: What types of technology are your students using successfully in your classroom? #kcpstechchat

jalfonsoKCPS - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2: I see students using SnapChat quite a bit as well as FB. I am sure they are using some I don't even know exist. #kcpstechchat

acooktweet - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:18 PM EST

Vine has kind of died but Snap is hot with most S's. #kcpstechchat

I find that at the elem schools teachers struggle to find ways 4 early grade students to use technology outside of a program. #kcpstechchat

jalfonsoKCPS - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:19 PM EST

@acooktweet I would agree! #kcpstechchat

Digital citizenship is huge! Students dont realize how serious their digital footprint is. I call it a digital tattoo. #kcpstechchat

I think we should have a PD session on Twitter. I think we have T's that use it as a resource but we could teach others. #kcpstechchat

Q4: How do you encourage resistant tech users in your building? #kcpstechchat

Leadership in action. Miss seeing you! @jalfonsoKCPS #kcpstechchat

kcgirlbn Feb 23 @ 9:36 PM EST

Great idea! We were connecting with Literacy Leaders at one time via Twitter. #kcpstechchat

jalfonsoKCPS - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:37 PM EST

We need to get the content leaders on Twitter and help them use it as a platform to connect with Ts in their bldgs #kcpstechchat

We appreciate all you do for schools in KC. You are putting KC on the map for sure! #kcpstechchat

kcgirlbn Feb 23 @ 9:38 PM EST

I think PD could help with this as well. Identify the reluctant ones and then start with something easy for them to implement #kcpstechchat

jalfonsoKCPS - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:38 PM EST

Exactly. The more we take the time to teach them, even in small doses, will help us turn the tide. #kcpstechchat

Do you think we could get Nick in this summer to do some Pear Deck workshops too? #kcpstechchat

A5: For Ts I think it can be a challenge to engage Ss with the tech they use. It's like you're playing on their turf w/o ctrl #kcpstechchat

acooktweet - Moderator Feb 23 @ 9:48 PM EST

Yes there will be. We should look at having a KCPS Ed Camp as PD. This will give T's the power to choose what they need. #kcpstechchat
