QUESTION #1 #safeschoolschat @DavisWelcome https://t.co/sJC7vF0Bly

resourcedmich Jan 31 @ 3:12 PM EST

A1: Sets expectations for relay of information for all. Allows parents a channel to receive quick, reliable info #SafeSchoolsChat

RobynCharb Jan 31 @ 3:12 PM EST

You don't want misinformation getting out. Keep rumors at bay & just get out official word! @teresagross625 @DavisWelcome #SafeSchoolsChat

JKatzaman Jan 31 @ 3:12 PM EST

A1 A crisis is not the time to make things up as you're going along. You need a plan in place to start from. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:13 PM EST

@RobynCharb @DavisWelcome Great point! #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:13 PM EST

@resourcedmich Excellent! #SafeSchoolsChat

BBDaneDell Jan 31 @ 3:13 PM EST

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:14 PM EST

@BBDaneDell Exactly. #safeschoolschat

LauraGWillis Jan 31 @ 3:14 PM EST

A1: Tech protocol is crucial since Ss can either discover or spread facts or rumors faster than Ts, especially at a1:1 site #SafeSchoolsChat

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:14 PM EST

@BBDaneDell @teresagross625 Fantastic, Dane! #SafeSchoolsChat

nyrangerfan42 Jan 31 @ 3:14 PM EST

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:15 PM EST

@LauraGWillis Wow!! Very true, Laura! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:15 PM EST

@Mr_Lucena Great point, Ron! #SafeSchoolsChat

mtartaro Jan 31 @ 3:17 PM EST

A1 - #safeschoolschat It is important to know what technology is available to utilize it to maximize response to a critical situation.

greatergoodgeek Jan 31 @ 3:18 PM EST

A1 - Very. And before a crisis too. I worked at a IHE school that had tests of the tech alert system (cell / email/phone) #safeschoolschat

FoleyKev Jan 31 @ 3:18 PM EST

A1.Always have a plan for the unexpected.Be prepared and the crisis fades #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:18 PM EST

A1: It ensures that everyone is on the same page with the multiple methods of communication that are being sent out. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:19 PM EST

@greatergoodgeek Yes! Any drills/practice beforehand are critical! #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:19 PM EST

@FoleyKev Be as prepared as possible! #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:19 PM EST

@mtartaro Great point, Marc! #SafeSchoolsChat

FoleyKev Jan 31 @ 3:19 PM EST

A1.We use text a parent for instant communication #SafeSchoolsChat

LCS_ProfLearn Jan 31 @ 3:20 PM EST

#SafeSchoolsChat technology can be a useful tool for communications; also can expedite misinformation delivery. How do you control flow?

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:20 PM EST

@greatergoodgeek Absolutely! #SafeSchoolsChat

@FoleyKev Very nice! #SafeSchoolsChat

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:22 PM EST

@LCS_ProfLearn So true! #SafeSchoolsChat

JKatzaman Jan 31 @ 3:22 PM EST

A2 Make sure technology is compatible -- that different communications systems can talk with each other. No more 911s. #SafeSchoolsChat

mtartaro Jan 31 @ 3:22 PM EST

A2 - First and foremost one must have a plan for the technology NOT working! #SafeSchoolsChat

GJW_Principal Jan 31 @ 3:22 PM EST

Q2- It is important to be as transparent as possible but not give too much information. Social media is a huge obstacle. #SafeSchoolsChat

LCS_ProfLearn Jan 31 @ 3:22 PM EST

#SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/IwsgrPO8rW

sdgalich Jan 31 @ 3:22 PM EST

A2: cell service being slow, Internet speeds being slow due to high volume, misinformation sent out #SafeSchoolsChat

BBDaneDell Jan 31 @ 3:23 PM EST

Capability, comfort level, understanding, and desire are all obstacles to tech use. Only magnified in a crisis. #SafeSchoolsChat

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:23 PM EST

@JKatzaman Very important point, Jim! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:23 PM EST

A2: one obstacle might be keeping relevant and accurate information being dispersed to parents, community, etc. #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:23 PM EST

@sdgalich I was JUST thinking this! Absolutely! #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:23 PM EST

@mtartaro LOVE THIS!! #SafeSchoolsChat

JeremyDBond Jan 31 @ 3:23 PM EST

A2) Tech not used regularly before a crisis. Parents, school staff may not be accustomed to it. #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/Fso0gas4CB

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:20 PM EST

QUESTION #2 #SafeSchoolsChat @DavisWelcome https://t.co/m78CapHX1c

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:24 PM EST

@GJW_Principal It sure can be! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:24 PM EST

@GJW_Principal Absolutely. So difficult to control information. #safeschoolschat

greatergoodgeek Jan 31 @ 3:24 PM EST

A2-Have guidelines to determine if it is safe to TALK on the cell phone (instead of texting 4 help). Silence may = safety. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:24 PM EST

Excellent point! #safeschoolschat https://t.co/KkLj84smbP

mtartaro Jan 31 @ 3:22 PM EST

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:24 PM EST

@sdgalich You got it! #SafeSchoolsChat

RobynCharb Jan 31 @ 3:24 PM EST

A2: Some obstacles could be overload of cellular service. Others could be lack of tech. by some parents. #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:25 PM EST

@JKatzaman Yes, technology is only as good as it works! #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:25 PM EST

@BBDaneDell This is a great point! Underscores the need to practice! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:25 PM EST

greatergoodgeek Jan 31 @ 3:24 PM EST

A2-Have guidelines to determine if it is safe to TALK on the cell phone (instead of texting 4 help). Silence may = safety. #SafeSchoolsChat

PughP13 Jan 31 @ 3:25 PM EST

@teresagross625 good point. Although tedious, it's important to make sure we have accurate info from our stakeholders #SafeSchoolsChat

GJW_Principal Jan 31 @ 3:25 PM EST

Q2- the use of video footage and cell phone pictures could also be useful. Can give vantage points that we don't have. #SafeSchoolsChat

FoleyKev Jan 31 @ 3:25 PM EST

A2.A major obstacle for me is connectivity #SafeSchoolsChat

LauraGWillis Jan 31 @ 3:26 PM EST

A2: Connectivity, compatability, consistency of communication method. #SafeSchoolsChat

Gregbagby Jan 31 @ 3:26 PM EST

A2) Availability of connectivity #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:26 PM EST

@JeremyDBond @teresagross625 Excellent point, Jeremy! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:26 PM EST

@JeremyDBond The more we practice, the more prepared we will feel. #safeschoolschat

LCS_ProfLearn Jan 31 @ 3:26 PM EST

#SafeSchoolsChat A2: If depending on video monitors to help inform staff, how do you ensure access and contingency for system breakdown?

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:26 PM EST

@greatergoodgeek Yessssss! Excellent! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:26 PM EST

@LauraGWillis The consistency is so important! #safeschoolschat

BBDaneDell Jan 31 @ 3:27 PM EST

@DavisWelcome practice in a real way to. Use the tech for non-crisis means if possible. Make it a part of normal workflow #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:27 PM EST

@RobynCharb So true, Robyn! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:27 PM EST

@GJW_Principal That's an interesting thought. #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:27 PM EST

@BBDaneDell Amen!!! #SafeSchoolsChat

JeremyDBond Jan 31 @ 3:27 PM EST

#SocialMedia is always an opportunity first. It's an obstacle without proper #DigitalCitizenship. #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/olnmk5DKOL

GJW_Principal Jan 31 @ 3:22 PM EST

Q2- It is important to be as transparent as possible but not give too much information. Social media is a huge obstacle. #SafeSchoolsChat

Mr_Lucena Jan 31 @ 3:28 PM EST

A2: Since information is sent out to a mass number of people, we need to ensure whoever is doing it is tech competent. #SafeSchoolsChat

MGrundel Jan 31 @ 3:28 PM EST

A2: Misinformation, or too much info, some of which may be inaccurate, or dangerous to vicitims #SafeSchoolsChat https://t.co/o1ryM6lf1m

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:29 PM EST

@LauraGWillis This is a big one! #SafeSchoolsChat

MGrundel Jan 31 @ 3:29 PM EST

Too much info could overload and potentially shut down a system/server or jam it up #safeschoolschat

mtartaro Jan 31 @ 3:29 PM EST

A2 - Also compatibility plays a role. Make sure that all the devices being used are able to "communicate" with each other! #SafeSchoolsChat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:29 PM EST

Q3 coming up in a moment....... #safeschoolschat @DavisWelcome

mtartaro Jan 31 @ 3:32 PM EST

@teresagross625 #SafeSchoolsChat Definitely not! Even using different browser, say @googlechrome vs. @InternetExplo__ can make a huge diff.

RobynCharb Jan 31 @ 3:32 PM EST

This is unfortunately something we have to work on more in our school. COMMUNICATION IS KEY! #SafeSchoolsChat

JeremyDBond Jan 31 @ 3:32 PM EST

@GJW_Principal @Mr_Lucena not that there aren't obstacles, just that there's so much we haven't figured out. That's on us. #SafeSchoolsChat

sdgalich Jan 31 @ 3:33 PM EST

A3: communicate ahead of time, memos sent home with St., Parent meetings, phone messages. #SafeSchoolsChat

bowlingtotheend Jan 31 @ 3:33 PM EST

A2) with so many security breeches from top level companies, that is definitely a concern #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:33 PM EST

A3: despite the method, consistency and accuracy are critical components of communication #safeschoolschat

DavisWelcome Jan 31 @ 3:33 PM EST

@MGrundel @teresagross625 Very nice! #SafeSchoolsChat

JKatzaman Jan 31 @ 3:33 PM EST

A3 Technology protocols need to be transmitted to players *before* a crisis. Waiting until crisis to transmit is too late. #SafeSchoolsChat

Gregbagby Jan 31 @ 3:33 PM EST

A3) We have a robo- call out systems , and then we communicate via back channels such as @TodaysMeet and @voxer #safeschoolschat

teresagross625 Jan 31 @ 3:33 PM EST

@mtartaro @googlechrome @InternetExplo__ Absolutely. I have found this even in classroom use. #safeschoolschat
