Welcome all--let's get started. Q1: How do you like learning in the summer? Independently? Structured PD? Experiential? Reading? #isedchat

laneyoung Aug 4 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@sarahhanawald Read books and Twitter and then talk to colleagues about ideas I glean #isedchat

mthayer_nj Aug 4 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1 Generally, I prefer self-directed - I’m learning about synthesizers and history. I’m glad to do focused PD as needed too. #isedchat

ajpodchaski Aug 4 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: I have done some reading, some museum and exhibit visiting, some making, am hoping to make an edcamp before it ends #isedchat

lizbeck_ Aug 4 @ 9:10 PM EDT

#isedchat This summer's learning: Lots of #maker stuff: karkuri, arduino, fixed a laser cutter & reviewing all the #ecatd retreat takeaways

sarahhanawald Aug 4 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@KateGeorgeBRP Oh wow--tell us more about #cyberpd. It's new to me #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Aug 4 @ 9:10 PM EDT

@laneyoung @sarahhanawald What was your best reads this summer, Lane? #isedchat

KOgden97 Aug 4 @ 9:10 PM EDT

Comvinced the hubs to pit the boys down so I could play! #mommywins #isedchat

laneyoung Aug 4 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@KateGeorgeBRP read the middle school version of power of words which was disappointing but reminded me of how good original is #isedchat

sarahhanawald Aug 4 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@lizbeck_ Nice list! How did you fix the laser cutter? #isedchat Tools involved?

sarahhanawald Aug 4 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@ajpodchaski What reading have you read that you'd recommend to others in #isedchat?

ajpodchaski Aug 4 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@sarahhanawald @lizbeck_ and what kind was it - looking to see if we can get one for school #isedchat

lizbeck_ Aug 4 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@sarahhanawald - tools = customer service + YouTube + my bare hands. There's a definite learning curve... #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Aug 4 @ 9:13 PM EDT

#isedchat Teachers from all over read DIY Literacy in July and shared reflections (many thru multimedia) on Google + https://t.co/Ul2JSfBy35

lizbeck_ Aug 4 @ 9:17 PM EDT

I haven't had the pleasure of dealing with our 3D printer yet...the main issue with the laser was mirror alignment @laneyoung #isedchat

sarahhanawald Aug 4 @ 9:17 PM EDT

Q2 coming up, but I have to ask, did anyone else learn a new game? I definitely got into Pokemon and some card games too. #isedchat

laneyoung Aug 4 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@sarahhanawald that’s something I could be better at - sharing my forward. #isedchat self reflection an impt part of summer learning for me.

laneyoung Aug 4 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@ajpodchaski launch was supposed to arrive today but um well I forgot to click the last button to order so now it’s coming Monday #isedchat

ajpodchaski Aug 4 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@sarahhanawald That design thinking and engineering/IT project management cycles are very similar - I know more than I thought #isedchat

ajpodchaski Aug 4 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@lizbeck_ @sarahhanawald what brand is it? Does it work well overall? #isedchat

sarahhanawald Aug 4 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@laneyoung happens to all of us! I'm thinking I'd better go order Launch by the end of #isedchat!

sarahhanawald Aug 4 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@ajpodchaski That's always a good feeling. There are so many times when I learn that I don't know anything. . .#isedchat

laneyoung Aug 4 @ 9:21 PM EDT

Launch getting lots of love tonight on #isedchat @spencerideas https://t.co/cyIYIMXNjj

@sarahhanawald We are playing pokemon go, a card game called Machi Koro. And looking for a new board game to play. #isedchat

sarahhanawald Aug 4 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Q2 What’s something cool you’ve learned this summer? #isedchat And how should we define "cool"? Something that impresses a middle schooler?

ajpodchaski Aug 4 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@laneyoung I am reading digitally - but stopped due to workload about halfway through. About to start again this weekend #isedchat

ajpodchaski Aug 4 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@sarahhanawald didn't say I wasn't learning :) but makes me feel better that teaching isn't as foreign as I fear #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Aug 4 @ 9:24 PM EDT

We love The King of Tokyo #isedchat https://t.co/V2roQFjZeS

@sarahhanawald Loving it! My whole #HTEA faculty read it. Hoping @SirKenRobinson will cohost #isedchat one day!

sarahhanawald Aug 4 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@ajpodchaski yes! I'd also argue Pokemon Go has taught my kids more about map reading than all the photocopies in their binders. #isedchat

KateGeorgeBRP Aug 4 @ 9:30 PM EDT

#isedchat A2 I learned how to use twitter to learn new things! :)

sarahhanawald Aug 4 @ 9:30 PM EDT

sarahhanawald Aug 4 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@hinduja How do you like to incorporate storytelling into lessons? #isedchat

sarahhanawald Aug 4 @ 9:34 PM EDT

Q3 coming up. Anything else this summer that made your inner middle schooler's eyes grow big? #isedchat

sarahhanawald Aug 4 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Q3 Did you learn something new that was personally fulfilling (not necessarily professional learning)? #isedchat

KOgden97 Aug 4 @ 9:36 PM EDT

There is a Harry Potter joke somewhere in that... #isedchat https://t.co/ZUkh1v7jEE
