lisasjogren Sep 25 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@bretdom Agreed. We need to challenge learners, move away from tech topics. I love when someone suggest a session that doesn't fit #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@amythuesen @jenhegna Yes. Also, how do we get it to the most people? That's how the learning spreads. #mnlead

amythuesen Sep 25 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@bretdom @lisasjogren Sometimes following that shiny object, though, is what gets them exposed to new ideas. It worked for me! #mnlead

LydoKane Sep 25 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2) I've done personal emails, or a face to face visit to encourage participation. Call out specifics that might be of interest. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2 First, invite everyone I know. We do better learning together! Just listening to ppl flesh out ideas for topics gets me thinking. #mnlead

@amythuesen @bretdom @lisasjogren Those who follow shiny objects might be first to edu breakthroughs! But it not for everyone #mnlead

talouis Sep 25 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2 - with anything New I encourage small steps w/big impact -teaching/learning in new ways can be scary, but invigorating! #mnlead

SupAnger Sep 25 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2) It is so important to create a culture of risk taking where success and failure is recognized w thanks #mnlead

lisasjogren Sep 25 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@bretdom YES! We need to talk about the stuff we don't want to talk about. Discomfort at #edcamp is okay. #mnlead

jenhegna Sep 25 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@amythuesen @bretdom We need to bring it back to PD! :) #mnlead

amythuesen Sep 25 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 Share my experience upon return, email/tweet out upcoming opps, encourage those 1 on 1 that I think would like it #mnlead

lisasjogren Sep 25 @ 8:22 PM EDT

MrLee1stGrade Sep 25 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2: You need to provide continued guidance after you first introduce something. #mnlead

jenhegna Sep 25 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2) I have had success in modeling innovative ideas. Depends on the goal of the learner! #mnlead

@tombrandtt How do you help them embrace discomfort in learning? #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:25 PM EDT

@amythuesen I started doing a weekly @smore w our staff. I shared out abt #edcampmsp. Invites, etc. Even if one attends, it spreads. #mnlead

tombrandtt Sep 25 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2. I always remind tchrs it's more fun to fail with another adult in the room #mnlead

bbucktech Sep 25 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A2- After they try something new, reflect with them on what went well, not so good & surprises. The will help them to try new again. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:26 PM EDT

@jenhegna Your personal growth plan and what you're doing w staff. That's innovative and modeling of risk taking. Loved seeing it! #mnlead

MarkJWestpfahl Sep 25 @ 8:27 PM EDT

If we want ourselves, students & colleagues to have #Growthmindset, we need to showcase vulnerability. #mnlead @bretdom @tombrandtt

@bretdom I love using @smore #mnlead

MrDataGuy Sep 25 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@lisasjogren Risk-taking is harder when schools are good, like Minnesota. Thinking Jim Collins here - "good as the enemy of great" #mnlead

Also, I had a former principal who dedicated weekly staff meetings to PD, rather than nuts & bolts. That's for email. #mnlead @bretdom

LydoKane Sep 25 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3) In LAPS we are moving further away from 'one size fits all' PL. T driven PL, T leaders & many choices in learning. #mnlead

@MrDataGuy @jenhegna @tombrandtt It gets tricky with the bar. How to we push all to get above it(or set it high enough)? #mnlead

millardamy2 Sep 25 @ 8:35 PM EDT

I consistently refer to this- allow Ts to lead PD-and explore/build their passions. A3 #mnlead https://t.co/fa8dDUSsXP

LauraGWillis Sep 25 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3) Quality PD always starts with knowing the needs and passions of the audience. #mnlead

@LydoKane Yes! Not everyone trusts it yet. I am excited for the opportunities. #mnlead

lisasjogren Sep 25 @ 8:36 PM EDT

@bretdom Choice is hard to measure and I think that is why you don't see large districts try to pull off an EdCamp style of PD. #mnlead

tombrandtt Sep 25 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A3. Unfortunately a system's perception of "quality" often eliminates "equality". Osseo is beginning to include more choice. #mnlead

MarkJWestpfahl Sep 25 @ 8:37 PM EDT

Yes. Hopefully staff can make own map about what they most need/desire for PD & admin/dist. can budget accordingly. #mnlead @LauraGWillis

amythuesen Sep 25 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A3 My fave thing about EdCamps is teacher leaders, which I think is critical to its success. We can do more of this at school too. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@tombrandtt And deciding how we set PD. Is it based on the laggards or those leading the charge? Can't always be equal. #mnlead

MrDataGuy Sep 25 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@bretdom @jenhegna @tombrandtt Not through asking for compliance. Has to be about building collective commitments - learning for all #mnlead

lisasjogren Sep 25 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@tombrandtt IMHO If we force choice into topics - that really isn't choice. #mnlead

MarkJWestpfahl Sep 25 @ 8:38 PM EDT

Certainly can change the vibe & encourage staff. Also shows admin value staff's time. #mnlead @amythuesen @bretdom

Speaking of #mnlead online & f2f PLNs colliding, @LydoKane- I think I met you at the last Lakeville T&LAC & didn't even know it!

jenhegna Sep 25 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A4) Effective coaching/PD strategies and change leadership. Mostly because these are some of my passion areas! :) #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@travislape Well, I am looking forward to it. When we all sit together and talk it turns to action. We become problem solvers! #mnlead

tombrandtt Sep 25 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A4. Wow. We just about have an EdCamp schedule build :) #mnlead

travislape Sep 25 @ 8:50 PM EDT

#mnlead can you share on my @flipgrid Why being a connected educator is so powerful to you. https://t.co/02gpCsgfhx

jenhegna Sep 25 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@MrDataGuy Oooh. I would love to talk about that too. Also would like to discuss different assessment models (whole child) #mnlead

@tombrandtt @lisasjogren That's why having @edcampMSP here on #mnlead helps. Gets the thinking juices flowing! Yeee Haaaahh! #mnlead

@tombrandtt Want to take bets on how fast we fill it? We have come a long way from freaking out at #1 of not filling it. #mnlead

talouis Sep 25 @ 8:51 PM EDT

I was just thinking the same thing--this chat is like "pre-edcamp" @edcampMSP #mnlead https://t.co/01F7F36nEa

tombrandtt Sep 25 @ 8:49 PM EDT

A4. Wow. We just about have an EdCamp schedule build :) #mnlead

lisasjogren Sep 25 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@bretdom @tombrandtt Yes, I like doing this before the event, get people ready. Instead of after. #mnlead

lisasjogren Sep 25 @ 8:51 PM EDT

Q5) #EdCampMSP uses session notes, that are editable/accessible. How do you learn and contribute information and ideas? Answer w/A5. #mnlead

bbucktech Sep 25 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@bretdom I want to know how we get Ts to do this more, Admin and Digital Coaches are better at connecting outside of district #mnlead

mrericcameron Sep 25 @ 8:52 PM EDT

As long as I am thinking about edcamps during the #mnlead discussion- Has @EducationMN ever considered doing an #edcamp for Union topics?

lisasjogren Sep 25 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@mrericcameron @EducationMN we have invited them to #edcampmsp and some presidents have attended. They provide amazing perspective #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@mrericcameron @EducationMN I know @edcamptc used to fall on the same weekend in the spring. It's a good idea. Still abt choice. #mnlead

talouis Sep 25 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5 the sharable #googledoc is the manna from heaven at #edcamp - always can refer back to ideas and resources #mnlead @edcampMSP

tombrandtt Sep 25 @ 8:54 PM EDT

Q5) The #EdCampMSP afternoon session will focus on skills. What skills are necessary for teacher success? Answer w/A6. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5 I'll bring my device, brain and voice. From there we will plug and play as needed. Can't wait to share and learn. #mnlead

jenhegna Sep 25 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5) My phone has become one of my greatest tools to gather evidence and share ideas. Pictures and videos are worth a 1000 words! #mnlead

lisasjogren Sep 25 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@talouis and to think when we did our training on how to facilitate edcamp - we focused on paper. No place for technology there. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@jenhegna I keep finding more education pics than family on my phone in the last few years. So many ideas & things to share. #mnlead

mrericcameron Sep 25 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A5: google docs shared notes + schedule + my phone + twitter app + tweetdeck = the curse of 1000 tabs! Too much awesomeness #mnlead

lisasjogren Sep 25 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@bretdom @jenhegna I am so glad I am not the only one! #mnlead

talouis Sep 25 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A6 a T that sees themselves as a "forever student"-always learning and growing-is the mindset to begin with-the rest will come #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Sep 25 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@mrericcameron Isn't it funny how we get good at managing all that? #mnlead

MrDataGuy Sep 25 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@jenhegna Love this. Thats why I backchannel during events, see and hear what others are doing. #mnlead

tombrandtt Sep 25 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A5. I'd put mindset before skills. Tchrs need ABC - "Always be Curious" #mnlead

mrericcameron Sep 25 @ 8:57 PM EDT

@bretdom I know! I even took a 20 min break from #mnlead to put daughter to bed & caught up w/o missing a beat!

jenhegna Sep 25 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@MrDataGuy Rolling out ePortfolios K-12 this year. Competency-based! Here is the MS ePortfolio https://t.co/wHEtgZoNBQ #mnlead

jenhegna Sep 25 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@bretdom Back them up to Google Photos and Google will do magical things with your Pics - like create videos! #mnlead

lisasjogren Sep 25 @ 8:59 PM EDT

CTA) How will you think differently about professional development? Or attend #EdCampMSP https://t.co/qX6Gq5OKpt Answer w/CTAA #mnlead
