mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:01 PM EDT

Hey now #ATchat Excited to have @possbeth lead the discussion tonight about Data Driven AT Service.

specialtechie Oct 5 @ 8:01 PM EDT

Hi #atchat Pam, SpEd Tech Specialist in Charleston, SC.

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:01 PM EDT

@KarenJan Glad to be here from Maryland! #atchat

EGraniero Oct 5 @ 8:01 PM EDT

Emily, AT grad student from CT #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:02 PM EDT

@possbeth Thank you so much for leading this vital discussion. We have much to learn and share! #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:03 PM EDT

We will use the Q1, A1 format today. Don’t forget to include #atchat hashtag

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:03 PM EDT

@specialtechie @EGraniero Welcome to tonight's #ATchat Pam, are you right in the line of fire with the hurricane?

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:03 PM EDT

@possbeth Before we get started, would love to hear what motivated you to lead this chat topic. #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:04 PM EDT

@KarenJan We need to make data based decisions, and too often I see AT's using their gut or instinct #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:05 PM EDT

Q1: How are you using data to inform your use of AT with students? #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:05 PM EDT

@KarenJan @possbeth I agree. Great topic. Looking forward to all the ideas and strategies #Atchat

specialtechie Oct 5 @ 8:05 PM EDT

Only time will tell. Hopefully it stays off the coast! #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@KarenJan do you find T's are collecting data regularly and in a quantifiable manner? #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Always working hard to remind staff members about collecting this important data so we can determine effectiveness #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1 - when it comes to LD issues, look at change in quality, quantity, time on task, Ss response to tech use, etc. #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@possbeth No. They typically see an immediate change and stop collecting data. #ATChat https://t.co/vjxmONs1MZ

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:08 PM EDT

@KarenJan do you find T's are collecting data regularly and in a quantifiable manner? #atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:09 PM EDT

@mmatp need T's need to know what is important to collect data on! #atchat

specialtechie Oct 5 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Can someone clarify the difference between AT & Integrated tech for S's? I seem to get a lot of mixed opinions. #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:10 PM EDT

Keep the convo going. Join our #ATchat Facebook group. https://t.co/Ab65dJGMNY

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@specialtechie in a perfect world (with UDL) there is not much difference. Legally, AT is what is needed to access curriculum, etc #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@possbeth good point. Need to support the team when determining what data to collect #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@specialtechie There is a federal definition of AT. Not sure what integrated tech is. #ATchat… https://t.co/auU81PvAZg

specialtechie Oct 5 @ 8:09 PM EDT

Can someone clarify the difference between AT & Integrated tech for S's? I seem to get a lot of mixed opinions. #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@mmatp @possbeth How do you determine what data to collect? #ATchat https://t.co/55eMi4d1Oi

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:10 PM EDT

@possbeth good point. Need to support the team when determining what data to collect #atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@KarenJan @mmatp it needs to be based on what do you want students to be able to do #atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@KarenJan @mmatp and then, what are they doing now #atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Keep answering Q1, but I am going to post Q2! #atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Q2: What tools do you use to collect and analyze data? #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Worked w a S who had significant written output issues.Introduced Clicker Connect w/ instant excellent results.Do we need more data? #ATchat

specialtechie Oct 5 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@possbeth That's where lines are starting to blur. Integrating tech of any kind can do that, where AT sounds more device related. #ATchat

@possbeth sorry I'm a bit late. Prepping for a hurricane here in FL. #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@KarenJan what about success over time? Will this just be the new thing or will they continue to succeed with it? #atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@wernedat glad you are here and hopefully staying safe! #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@possbeth It provides scaffolded support and bypasses his significant output issues. Why use a method that is unsuccessful for him? #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@specialtechie it can be devices, but it can also be software, or even low tech #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@wernedat Scary. Where are you? #ATchat https://t.co/VNscRiO48D

wernedat Oct 5 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@possbeth sorry I'm a bit late. Prepping for a hurricane here in FL. #ATchat

wernedat Oct 5 @ 8:17 PM EDT

@KarenJan data across dif. kinds of assignments/env. can help. #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@KarenJan I meant continue to collect data on success with this tool--to ensure it keeps working--and proves he is accessing curric #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: Nice forms on the NATE website: https://t.co/8EwDNU5PEm #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 - Use PAR and WPP (renamed but prefer the abbreviation) to drive some decisions. work w/ S, observations, review of work #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2 my fav tools are ones built into tech--history in GoogleDocs, use of track changes in Word are great for keeping data on writing #atchat

specialtechie Oct 5 @ 8:20 PM EDT

The definition explaining service and device clears it up a little. I guess I'm thinking of how it would look on an IEP. #ATchat

wernedat Oct 5 @ 8:20 PM EDT

@KarenJan Gainesville... Should be OK unless it turns but all my family is right in its path🙃 #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@KarenJan that is the question to ask--Where is the data? Is worksheet telling them anything useful? #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@possbeth Yes, I review the Detailed Revision History with Ts. They are amazed to see minute by minute data #ATchat https://t.co/hrQDbrOsYx

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2 my fav tools are ones built into tech--history in GoogleDocs, use of track changes in Word are great for keeping data on writing #atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 Google Forms lets you collect and analyze data with the click of a button! #atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@specialtechie if its on an IEP, it would either be a supplemental aide and service and/or AT #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@KarenJan @possbeth This feature is not used as much as it should be. Always excited to show this to Ts #Atchat

wernedat Oct 5 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@possbeth and using gdocs for Collaborative data collection in shared file or folder... #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Modeled Detailed Revision History today with a team of teachers. They had a huge "aha" moment! #ATchat https://t.co/djLWuUi96s

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@KarenJan @possbeth This feature is not used as much as it should be. Always excited to show this to Ts #Atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:23 PM EDT

@wernedat yes--being able to share data easily is so important! #atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:25 PM EDT

going to use it for collecting data on core word use #atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:27 PM EDT

#atchat friends--feel free to join in the convo @mkeeneyAT @mwilliamsAT @attipscast

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:27 PM EDT

In Autism programs, there is SOOO much data collection. Aides walk around with clipboards recording everything. Is that overkill? #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Q3 What are the challenges of collecting relevant data? Keep reflecting on Q1 and Q2 too! #atchat

Going to #atia17 ? Join us for @edcampaccessint Fri night 1/20/17 https://t.co/DOerIDWfNh #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3: @KarenJan 's question came just a couple seconds too soon! I have seen teams collecting tons of data w/o clear purpose #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:29 PM EDT

@possbeth good point. And limiting generalization across environments. #ATchat https://t.co/GqSOEKpMQr

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:28 PM EDT

@KarenJan sometimes I think that in looking at the minutae they might miss opportunities for interaction, but not my specialty...#ATchat

KaraGuiff Oct 5 @ 8:30 PM EDT

There is a Google add on for docs that allows you to collect and save all cimments, but I don't recall name #ATchat

specialtechie Oct 5 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A3: Doing something with the data. I've seen T's collecting data, but then they don't use it to guide teaching or make changes. #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@mmatp @edcampAccessInt I will be there!!! #atchat #atia17

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:30 PM EDT

A2 #spedchat I use Google forms, like rt sales and rubrics

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:30 PM EDT

@possbeth @edcampAccessInt It's gonna be even better than last year! #ATchat

wernedat Oct 5 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@KarenJan If they actually analyze/make changes based on what's happening it's worth it, but imo that rarely happens #ATchat

specialtechie Oct 5 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@possbeth @mmatp @edcampAccessInt Just looked it up. I'll be at #fetc shortly after, so I wouldn't be able to go. Sad... #ATchat

mwilliamsAT Oct 5 @ 8:31 PM EDT

@possbeth Listening to it and giving my mobile a workout. Good topic. I'll go over it when I park. Love android voice access. #ATchat

KaraGuiff Oct 5 @ 8:32 PM EDT

Q3...being honest ...so busy teaching and helping kids keep up...data collection takes precious learning time #ATchat

rtopp Oct 5 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3 #ATchat keeping up and checking the data olin a timely manner. Too much data and your overwhelmed and quit

wernedat Oct 5 @ 8:32 PM EDT

Great point. This is why data collection needs to be quick and painless. Google Form? Quick tally sheet #ATchat https://t.co/1Zxm0w4UeC

KaraGuiff Oct 5 @ 8:32 PM EDT

Q3...being honest ...so busy teaching and helping kids keep up...data collection takes precious learning time #ATchat

rtopp Oct 5 @ 8:34 PM EDT

. @possbeth @KarenJan #atchat I only use worksheets to give me data. No time fillers. I put the information usually in @ClassDojo

mwilliamsAT Oct 5 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@KarenJan Direct responses get read to me since they're alerts. I'm using voice to reply. For general feed I have it read latest. #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@specialtechie @possbeth @edcampAccessInt Awesome! I am presenting a session Tues @ #fetc17 The AT Top 10 #ATchat

wernedat Oct 5 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@KarenJan @KaraGuiff we are def. using photo and video as data... Set it up to auto backup to Google photos #ATchat

specialtechie Oct 5 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@possbeth @mmatp Forms are the best! Pretty data without the work. Sheets has some great templates too now. #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@possbeth I save Google Form links to home screen of mobile device. Then they can use small device (iPod Touch / iPad Mini) #Atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@KarenJan @KaraGuiff and nothing like masking tape on your pants, or adding paperclips to a chain! #lowtech #atchat

adaptechcf Oct 5 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@KarenJan @KaraGuiff I like that idea, a picture is sometimes worth a thousand words! #atchat

wernedat Oct 5 @ 8:39 PM EDT

@possbeth @mmatp what kind of stuff are you tracking in Google form? #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:40 PM EDT

rtopp Oct 5 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A3 Getting ready to make google forms and use boomerang to send out emails to collect data from regular ed teachers #atchat

specialtechie Oct 5 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@possbeth @adaptechcf @KarenJan @KaraGuiff the program. Do you use a QR scanner for Chromebook? Looking for a good one. #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@KarenJan I know we use it in our district! Not me personally--my kids too young right now #atchat

specialtechie Oct 5 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@rtopp Our district won't let us access gmail, so boomerang doesn't work. Unless you know of a way? #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:47 PM EDT

Last question from me! Q4: How can we support T’s in collecting relevant, ongoing data on use of AT? #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@possbeth @specialtechie @adaptechcf @KarenJan @KaraGuiff Use camera on old iPod Touch/ iPhones. Upload using wifi to Google Photos #ATchat

rtopp Oct 5 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@specialtechie #ATchat we are a GAFE school

wernedat Oct 5 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@KarenJan yes.... Definitely good data sources. UPAR has been eye opening for admins. #ATchat

adaptechcf Oct 5 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@KarenJan I use WPP all the time. Gives a nice baseline for the team and I like how it addresses WPM based on task performed. #atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@specialtechie @adaptechcf @KarenJan @KaraGuiff https://t.co/oHtMzYK8DE #atchat

specialtechie Oct 5 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@KaraGuiff @possbeth @adaptechcf @KarenJan it's tough with the one sided camera. #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@rtopp what is Boomerang? #atchat

rtopp Oct 5 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@possbeth #atchat it's an extension to chrome that schedules emails

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@pbuckingks Agree! (Remember to add the #ATchat hashtag) :-) https://t.co/z66etetI4K

pbuckingks Oct 5 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@KarenJan People knowing the "why" of data collection is important. Data to just take data is pointless- use the data and change instruction

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:50 PM EDT

Don’t forget-we are always looking for guest moderators. Fill out the form: https://t.co/wUQEjE6Lej #ATchat

rtopp Oct 5 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@possbeth #atchat keep it simple

mkeeneyAT Oct 5 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@possbeth by helping them see it actually can reduce stress, not be another source. #atchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@rtopp oooh! I have to check that out! Love automation! I think you can also in Outlook? #atchat

wernedat Oct 5 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@mmatp great minds think alike :) I posted the exact same thing! #ATchat

@mkeeneyAT and kids who feel successful--most important of all! #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@KaraGuiff @possbeth Thanks - didn't know about that. I know you can review the comment history. #ATchat

wernedat Oct 5 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A4: I have been thinking abt dev. a repository of short videos of types of data and what they would mean for a Ss's goals/progress #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@KaraGuiff sounds like a great way to save comments for data when a doc is out of draft form and you want to keep an ongoing record. #atchat

KaraGuiff Oct 5 @ 8:55 PM EDT

can u explain boomerang? @rtopp. #ATchat

possbeth Oct 5 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@wernedat please do so and please share! #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Oct 5 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@wernedat That sounds like a great project. Would be so valuable #ATchat

wernedat Oct 5 @ 8:55 PM EDT
