The #INeLearn hashtag is used for both asynchronous sharing and synchronous conversations. Include #INeLearn in your tweets if you want to share resources or questions with Indiana educators and school leaders. Asynchronously, the #INeLearn hashtag provides educators across the state of Indiana a central space for sharing. On Thursday evenings beginning at 8 CST/9 EST when you use the #INeLearn hashtag, you are joining a live conversation--the #INeLearn Twitter Chat. For one hour, we interact in real time having a virtual discussion.

    R1: The big thing is making the online exp exciting and not just a place for dumping info and documents. #INeLearn

    I just came across the Veg intros on this chat. What is INeLearn? #INeLearn
  • SEANJFAHEY Feb 9 @ 9:11 PM EST
    I would say for my situation is Ss not exposed to enough in a meaningful way & some Ts are fearful or not wanting to jump in & use #inelearn
  • micheeaton Feb 9 @ 9:11 PM EST
    So far we have engagement, screen fatigue, organization, accessibility, pedagogy shift... #INeLearn
  • mr_lambright Feb 9 @ 9:11 PM EST

    R1: We assume Ss know how to navigate and use online content b/c this is the "digital age" but they actually haven't been taught #INeLearn
  • shighley Feb 9 @ 9:12 PM EST
    R1: E: All of the above. #INeLearn

    Q2: Accessibility was mentioned. What specific problems do you all see in terms of accessibility? #INeLearn
  • SEANJFAHEY Feb 9 @ 9:13 PM EST
    Really you have to constantly tweak in some way & make it seem new & exciting each time & that can be exhausting #INeLearn
    In reply to @Pike_ICP

    Yes, @mr_lambright it must be in order to effective! It helps if the pedagogical shift comes first #INeLearn

    A1: Some problems that we face with the iPads are that they do not allow Adobe Flash Player. A lot of good items need A.F.P. . #INeLearn
  • micheeaton Feb 9 @ 9:14 PM EST
    R3: For me, I think a lot about design... how things like color in our online courses makes it difficult for everyone to access. #INeLearn
  • SEANJFAHEY Feb 9 @ 9:15 PM EST
    "But we are using technology!" #INeLearn

  • Miss_Siefert Feb 9 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A2: In our school all S's are 1:1 but not all students have internet at home which makes access more difficult for after school #INeLearn

    Q3: What small adjustments can we make to current classes to improve accessibility? #INeLearn
  • SEANJFAHEY Feb 9 @ 9:18 PM EST
    R2 accessibility is suppose to help "level the playing field" but many Ss in rural area are still w/o reliable internet at home #inelearn
  • mrg_3 - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:18 PM EST

  • Pike_ICP Feb 9 @ 9:19 PM EST
    R3: chunk your lessons or the content into subject matter then creating an easy to use navigation page to get to the content. #INeLearn

    R3: Whatever content you have now, view it from a student device and a cell phone. You'll see so much that needs a facelift. #INeLearn

    R1: Not even knowing where to begin or turning worksheets into digital worksheets and calling it digital content. #INeLearn
  • mr_lambright Feb 9 @ 9:25 PM EST

  • 3DChampion Feb 9 @ 9:27 PM EST
    Big question is whether the tech enhances or hinders lesson. Easy to use or do you spend more time teaching the tool than lesson?#inelearn
  • shighley Feb 9 @ 9:27 PM EST
    R4: Rather than simply presenting content, impt part of pedagogy is Ss searching for answers on their own, evaluating info #INeLearn
  • SEANJFAHEY Feb 9 @ 9:27 PM EST
    R4 the shift is in how teachers teach. We're no longer the gate keeper of knowledge, we are the guides. We have to get Ss doing #inelearn
