Jumping in late- Mikaela, IL, music, and I eat fish bc I hate them. Vengeance for flipping out of our tank.
I lead middle school Linux club. Kids learn abt and use it to refurbish used PCs to give to needy families.
How can students to use tech to solve real world problems? “Use technology as a choice, not the answer.” –
A1 pre-service teachers need to know when tech is appropriate. need to make better evaluators
Does that mean you'll join chats a few times during the week?
It's Marla here...3rd grade teacher and lead campus tech guru
A1: My students used blogger to express their passion but most importantly their voice!
Thanks for joining, Barbara!
awesome x-curricular project!
A1 cont: Have to give a SO to Ss at one of my schools who created a weather station:
A1: First year actually getting tech, mostly here to listen.
that has to be the focus of we are going to be a country on innovators
Yes- have plans to 3- design & print molecules this year. Excited to see how it goes!
Also tech is just the means to the end-critical thinking involved is key-design thinking is a good model 2 guide the thinking
A1. Using video production apps to highlight the problem and generate proposal and solutions
Wonderful project that helps students understand the value of community service and helping others
Thanks loved all the different components integrated. something for everyone to do in the group. https://t.co/B42ojqGTSP
awesome x-curricular project!
MT How can students to use tech to solve problems? “Use tech as a choice, not the answer.” –
sometimes I'll just wander into one, I got on twitter to talk to Ts, I just didn't know there'd be so much clip art
Thanks, Sarah, for sharing, as usual.
A1 National Parks Prj. Kids became expert "Park Rangers" in celebration of NPS 100th. They used many GAFE tools.
we need pre-service teachers to build hand skill activities for their students
Last yr gave away 46 PCs to needy and provided 90 laptops for their middle school at NO cost to school
A1: we created infographics to communicate the
Blogs can be such a great teaching tool! Would love to see examples of how this played out in your clsrm, Valerie!
A1: Ss video + recorded their own jingle for a school bookdrive.
is now trending in USA, ranking 40
Hope you're enjoying the value of educator chats
Absolutely! I can see it catering to the critical and creative thinkers
Sts created digital informational campaign 2 inform voters>local races... ~
I've used various career interest surveys. Depends on which website was working that semester.
Q2 coming up in 1 minute…
Theme of tonight’s : Technology is a tool, not the answer. What’s key? Critical thinking + design thinking.
We created infographics to communicate the importance of scientific research
Loving all of these examples! If you can share links, resources, etc. that would be great!
Love to use video to collect student thoughts/ideas d as a way to share.
Relevant project in this election year
Happy to share what I have if you are interested...just shoot me a dm
That's definitely why we started it to not just talk about civic engagement, but actually do it from the classroom
Stealing this! "Creatively borrowing" please
We <3 this. Would love to see examples of how you used infographics in the classroom!
So are the students creating videos? Tell us more or share links
thanks, it was the students who made it happen in the first place
when kids speak up loud enough sometimes teachers (even mediocre ones like me) listen
A2: My 1st consideration for ANY learning experience integrating is DEVICE AGNOSTICISM. My 2nd is student choice.
On Edtech in the classroom: "We created infographics to communicate the importance of scientific research" ~
A2: I try and think of what tech they'll use again later and how it connects to the rest of the curriculum and beyond.
A1: The varied students' perspectives & how different students will react, allowing for flexibility in forms of responses
Teach use of tech as a skill is key. We created a toolkit for digitally literate-teachers + students: https://t.co/Ugsgnb0RfB
A2. Making sure the learning is the priority. Tech should help enhance the process, not overshadow it
A2 how to make it authentic, any potential risks/constraints
A2: Student created and let them drive the product. Watch and enjoy the journey!
What is the purpose of the project and how might tech support or extend it?
A1: created infographics using canva to communicate the importance of scientific research
A2 What skills and outcomes do I wish to see...then voice and choice based on the previous
A2 how is tech going to improve engagement, improve ss learning or make my job easier if answer is no I bail on it .
A2 Ss should be able to see the experience as relevant in their world as well as the classroom.
Don't forget to beg, borrow, and steal these great ideas!
I thought this chat was about edtech in teacherprep. Am I in the wrong place? Please advise;-)
I doubt that you are mediocre. :) Student voice & choice are so important and should always be heard. I love this!
A2 afford Ss the opportunity to do their own investigation, identity prob. or areas of concern, devise plan of action
Q2: What do you consider when designing learning experiences that engage students as active users of ed tech?
A2: Content creation, not content consumption!
A2: What Ss should be able to do as adults & how they can become responsible for their learning? Independence
Yes, ed tech really opens up new possibilities for how students might respond creatively & constructively
a2. What will the authentic audience be for their mediated communications
A2: I consider my Ss interests/preferences and give them options on collaboration tools.
A2: Ss must use tech to CREATE CONTENT.
Google Docs worksheets on Chromebooks are still WORKSHEETS!
https://t.co/FXe1v4pGDx
A2. The technology must support, be a critical and meaningful component. Not just for the sake of using tech.
A2: Desired learning outcome, appropriate structures, availability of resources, relevance, formative assessments 2 guide lrn
A2: I want to use it for Ss to record learning and self evaluate- Seesaw is gonna be great.
A2: focus should b on the standard and how can help enhance the learning experience and get Ss to mastery
Cat, could you explain more about “device agnosticism” for some newbies in tonight’s ? So important!
A2: Time is always a consideration.
Tech should be another tool or resource to enhance/deepen the project.
A2 our class is like an edcamp. Students pick the tech they want to learn.
Yes, using tech that is what students will continue to use in the future is important consideration
nope we use technology it's 2016. Using muscles is for Neanderthals. Soft and fleshy we continue
Grades are not goals. The steps we take to earn good grades are goals. The finish line is learning...not earning.
RT : A2. Making sure the learning is the priority. Tech should help enhance the process, not overshadow it
I am laughing uproariously at this! So true!
Q2: Give Ss real world tech experiences, not just canned lessons
A2 How can we provide students learning experiences that connect them with their community and the world
A2: (cont) Self reflection built in, flexibility to evolve as new information is gained/available...
I work in a bunch of school reigniting creativity
Coach K , , , Steele Johnson , , , DeAndre Jordan , Missy Franklin
Looks excellent & bookmarked you link for follow up. Thanks
ty. when I started those lessons there was no platform for Ss to be heard outside school. Kids called me out onit
A2: I think... Does the tech tool take the lesson to a deeper level that can't otherwise be achieved traditionally...
you all will be the first to go when the robot apocalypse comes
Steven Anderson - #
Great article: 11 Innovative Solutions for classrooms
"How can we provide students learning experiences that connect them with their community and the world?" ~
Or for younger students what they will use ed tech for now & immediate future
with edtpa students need all the video experience they can get
Making tasks authentic is vital
Hi, A2: Engagement happens when learning goals and assessment criteria are clear.
A2 cont'd as they go through process, they revisit goals and adjust procedures where necessary.
tech gives us a great opportunity to differentiate:what do we want kids 2 know,how will we know, how do we intervene?enrich?
No doubt. is a tool that gives students on demand info..just in time helps build a productive struggle
Yes, I don't want to just teach consumers
I cosign this A2 https://t.co/bkylcfHKZF
A2: Content creation, not content consumption!
A2- The edtech should be the tool that allows for connections to be made between many skills and cross content areas.
. Sure! Device Agnostic = FULLY accessible & functional on ANY device at ANY time https://t.co/E8lUeBGXB8
Cat, could you explain more about “device agnosticism” for some newbies in tonight’s ? So important!
Thanks for sharing, Keith! :-)
Do they share the videos with a broader audience?
graphic is askew. Free time is important. So is coloring for fine motor
Love . Connect students with real world problems and get out of the way. builds capacity to connect
Q3 coming up in 1 minute…
A2: create plans that extend the learning beyond the classroom
no way they will recognize me as an ally. I will change batteries, solar panels, fix chords etc
the future of students is coding
A2: opportunities for students to teach each other ... tech can often become the medium for THEIR teaching.
Yes innovation & creation are what distinguish tech including sharing w/ audience
A2b. we must really focus on the purpose of what we are asking students to do. Tech creates an infinite number of options.
EVIDENCE of LEARNING should be on a CHILD…
NOT on a worksheet!
We MUST teach Ss to CREATE content!
https://t.co/qD4kbLMqSU
And tying lessons to interest
Exactly, and one of the best ways to learn is by teaching others
students need to be any device welcome
A3: I find that reluctance goes away if they are working on solving a personally meaningful problem.
A2: make sure the technology is the right fit for the project, and that students are comfortable using it
A3 Students fall on a spectrum and everyone learns differently, embrace the difference and plan for alternate learning paths
. I very much agree. Students need to cultivate a fluidity between devices, tools, and services
A3 I share success as well as failures. I always offer to help, co-teach, support Ts and Ss in new & old ventures.
Q3. What are tangible strategies you’ve used to engage reluctant users of edtech?
Would love to hear how Ts and faculty have worked with reluctant colleagues esp. around collab. projs https://t.co/3PZGIuij2Z
A3 I often make tutorials with quicktime, screencastomatic, to improve success with tech for students https://t.co/QRuyVH966C
A3 I like to ask them for their strengths and challenges and see if/how tech fits in to make them better.
A3: We have a strong coaching model. Ts get support and guidance when they are wanting to try new tech.
A: Integrate tech in seamless non-threatening, playful ways, complementing learning goals
A3: Is this other Ts? I just asked my P for a meeting and showed them how to use Class Dojo but let them play around too
A3: I have found increasing learner agency through increases enthusiasm for learning
The desired outcome and assessment is so important
What are strategies to engage reluctant users of ed tech? Do these strategies differ for reluctant teachers vs. students?
A3. I find that bringing your own enthusiasm can win over reluctant teachers or students.
A3: Publishing their work for school and neighborhood community to see
A3 let them use low tech. They will choose tech when they are ready.
Q3: I provided choice... didn't force it. Reluctant Ss saw other kids engaged using tech so they eventually tried it too
A3: Model, Question use, Encourage: X-curriculum integration, Taking risks, and Collaboration.
Q3: Reluctant writers feel empowered & encouraged when they blog and see that ppl from all over world might respond.
A3 I ask them to bring their favorite lesson and I augment it. That a how buy-in is built
A3: We have created dozens of projects, embodied them in open badges, and let learners choose what to work on.
A3: Took time to find out why they were reluctant, removed any apparent barriers, paired them with sts who were confident
A3:Favorite strategy 4 those uncomfortable = to learn alongside with them - respect, encourage, support - Our kids deserve it
Hi Toutloule, just saw you jumped on to See you often online
A3 when the learning becomes personalized students are less reluctant
A3. As P, let Ts dip their toes into EdTech. Help them explore and try to guide them towards integrating into lesson design
someone called me that 4 years ago and it stuck
A3 the reluctant users most of the times aren't "Ss" & the few there are, finding interest and easing to tech frm known-unkn
A2: Here's an example that worked well https://t.co/tIEhv6hY0u … … engaged students, preservice teachers, and grad scholars
Hello, Tina, 5th grade teacher from WI, sorry I'm late! Classroom of 1:1 iPads
Hey great seeing you here
A3- Collaboration is encouraged but not required. Playing off of group strengths makes a difference.
A3: I don't have the platform to show other Ts- I have multiple schools. I have to try to push it into a meeting :-/
Empathy empathy empathy https://t.co/xOWnDhORnf
A3:Favorite strategy 4 those uncomfortable = to learn alongside with them - respect, encourage, support - Our kids deserve it
but what about students who are not motivated by badges/reward-based incentives?
A3: Provide a bridge with tech that is familiar and comfortable for them
A3 For reluctant Ts, ENCOURAGE EVERY STEP AND KEEP EQUIP WORKING FOR THEM!!
A3: Reluctant Ss come around when we identify and celebrate their strengths and help them set goals.
Choice for students is essential!
"One should also consider ease of use for students when incorporating tech." ~
Often ... Or they just they you are in a cult :) https://t.co/CHnBzLbiMd
A3. I find that bringing your own enthusiasm can win over reluctant teachers or students.
Consumers vs. Producers
Anyone can CONSUME content. Be an INNOVATOR and CREATE it!!
MORE >> https://t.co/hMgdYWjVEn
Q3: let's learn this technology together, we are a community of learners together we are stronger !
A3. Giving concrete examples of how much more is possible with tech. Works for students and teachers. Meet them, shift them
A3: For reluctant , my fav method is the "Surprise!" model: Host unrelated PL w/ tech embedded to show how great it is
(2/2) but what about students who are not motivated by badges/reward-based incentives?
A3: let students play with the technology in a no risk environment first, before they have to use it to create s product
A3: constant support. Continual check-ins to make sure they are understanding and able to use it.
A3. Target their strengths, cross Curricula and shedding light in fun yet engaging ways of using tech that marries the two
A3: My Ss want tech all the time and it kinda bothers me how much they need it to be engaged.
Love Canva and allow Ss to use the tech to communicate learning
Agree, set them up for success by having some support/comments ready to go!
A3 simply create a learning environment where it's easier to use the Tech than not, then provide PD to upskill.
A3 give them a job. Let them build ownership of an idea, not a tool.
Students are motivated by the options---increases learner agency, which is motivating. Badges=options
Love it! Sneaky PL w/ ! https://t.co/XsVTA0VaLw
A3: For reluctant , my fav method is the "Surprise!" model: Host unrelated PL w/ tech embedded to show how great it is
Another wonderful post from & check his others for innovative approaches
nice. And such a modern design on the visual. I like it.
Hey great seeing you in here
A3: Choice is important. Ss help e/o & talk-write-move. Ss are accountable for their learning. Empower-Encourage Curiosity.
Students are motivated by the options---increases learner agency, which is motivating. Badges=options
How do you incentive reluctant ed tech students? Let students investigate new tools in a low/zero risk environment.
Srsly tho choice solves like 62% of teaching problems https://t.co/3bUVuUwkb9
Q3: I provided choice... didn't force it. Reluctant Ss saw other kids engaged using tech so they eventually tried it too
Ss begged me for more time They were eager to research didn't see this enthusiasm & committed b4
also have to have patience. Lots of patience and a few back up plans
Great point. I do usually start with pairs. There is comfort with peers!
Exactly, empathy, understanding, encouragement: ease the persons in gently at their own pace
#2 I believe Ss should be able to create, collaborate, and communicate to grow as learners. These are real world skills.
I think it depends on how are used. Many use them for gamification that doesn't really motivate.
Assess with and https://t.co/bltDQRFspT
A3: constant support. Continual check-ins to make sure they are understanding and able to use it.
But when the badges represent REAL learning options and REAL learning accomplishments, they are motivating
A3: Let students do as much of the design as possible, not necessarily just what's practical. They make adjustments
use hooks to help student get on to a tool
Yes! Good to let others know that failure happens... and that we, as fans, have failed, too! https://t.co/fu0YsyxUNu
A3 I share success as well as failures. I always offer to help, co-teach, support Ts and Ss in new & old ventures.
Q4 coming up in 1 minute…
yes sometimes grappling w/new tech along w/new content is alot=learning new language on an unfamiliar device 4 us
100% agree and also seriously love this graphic. Great to see complex topics so easily visualized.
A3: Gamification, choice, finding things they’re interested in.
depends what ur job is. Gen Ed arent tech teachers
I think it's a luxury many don't have at home and they just want to play with it. Ss need time to get the play out.
A3 So important to model that "failure" is an opportunity to learn. Learners of all ages need to know this!
That’s a great point, – ESL and ELL students have a secondary hurdle with new tech.
Q4. How might faculty better support pre-service teachers to actively use edtech in their P-12 classrooms?
Choice: also encouragement of choice; let go of your own predictions. See what the learner chooses to create
A2: Also, teaching digital citizenship skills are necessary now & as adults.
3. I find it helpful when administration models best practices & demonstrates usefulness
Thank you! It's a fun approach, too (at least for me!).
We’d love to see some tangible, real-life examples of how faculty can better support — send them our way! cc:
A4: Model appropriate tech use for learning experiences whenever possible
A4 Give the pre-service Ts time to play with the tech and explore. Give ideas for implementation and have them find their own
Hey see you a lot of places as well
Connecting with classrooms outside your state is amazing & powerful for Ss.
A3: Is allowing a reluctant learner follow their own curiosity a strategy?
A4 If not already, get off campus and into K12 schools to see what tech is in the classroom.
A5. Guiding them on efficient and effective use. Keeping it wide enough for movement but not so wide they get lost.
A4 Provide Skills, model skills, give space for risk taking and repeat
A4 Would love it if Unis sent preservice Ts to tech Ts to learn from. Not all faculty share our passion!
Perfect graphic to illustrate the approach
A4. PD should use tech to help enhance communication. They will see the benefit
About exploring ... my teachers get to play in the "tech petting zoo" once done with their final
A4 create assignments that force them to use it.
How can faculty better support preservice teachers’ use of edtech?
Model model model model model.
Yes I'm thinking of doing a pd on the subject
In other words, is it strategic for a teacher to just cede power, and not force a kid to do a task?
A4: Offer new Ts support by modeling, create individualized learning plans & times to play and ask Qs around what they need.
An excellent point! For the most reluctant, it may take their leadership doing it for them to do it https://t.co/9oUK4a38xG
3. I find it helpful when administration models best practices & demonstrates usefulness
It must be modeled by teachers too!
A4: Don't hide the resources. Share the tech and the knowledge. They don't know what they don't know.
with all the tech they have heard about, but not probably had a chance to use. Exploration is important!
Q4. I think the basics must be covered first- classroom mgmnt, strategies, technology should be a tool
I'm going to be starting a blog on it. Keep an eye out for it! https://t.co/up7ssywxXH
can you provide links to learn more? This sounds fascinating!
A4: Step 1 - create a vision for edTech for school and then support individuals regardless of title
Yes, this graphic works well for teacher prep and teacher ed programs
A4: Modeling is impt! Be sure faculty knows & uses tech tools... stay current
A4: Offer lots of PD and training during work week for new and veteran Ts
A4: Create experiences where they can simulation tech integration in a classroom setting out using newer AR/VR virtual spaces
A4: faculty must mode to preservice teachers using ed tech just like we model when teaching our students
Strategies for Ts to use tech with P12 students should align with strategies for faculty to use tech with P12 prospective Ts.
Tricky thing w/ exploration is quantifying value so admins will buy tech with no plan to use it other than for "exploring"
Such a great idea! Tagging https://t.co/7g1GMN1bc9
About exploring ... my teachers get to play in the "tech petting zoo" once done with their final
Large tech conferences should embrace preservice and new Ts as well! https://t.co/GGlJ1G0sH3
A4 Would love it if Unis sent preservice Ts to tech Ts to learn from. Not all faculty share our passion!
A4: Support them in the thinking behind the tools. The tools will always change.
Gracious, yes! One can't happen without the other in a clsrm. Symbiotic relationship
A4 integrate in their classes. Do not rely on one class to teach everything.
Expose pre-service teachers to many resources, let them play... Encourage them to use what they're with
To close the digital use divide among students, Ts must also have opportunities to actively use tech https://t.co/2Q5sjgYg4n
This is so true! At least I am lol https://t.co/a4el7bNeF8
Yes, "play time" for trial and error and practicing. We are just big kids! 🙂
Do they really want it all the time? Surely, they are engaged in learning in other ways
A4: Give digital natives license to unleash the digital skills with which they've grown up.
Profs CANNOT stay siloed as academics in ivory tower. They must be in districts still learning. https://t.co/LPMCB7Ix8r
Of course! I only had SmartBoards for tech and we had games. Fulfilled visual and kinesthetic needs.
And what happens when the S just doesn't want to do the task
A4 Are we pre-supposing that they need support? Synthesise existing with new, learn from each other.
Agreed! Pre-service teachers are not getting the exposure they need!
we researched modeling and we found that students with positive models have tech success
Expose pre-service teachers to the SAMR model, TPAC and Have them self asses...
Q4: invite teaches in to observe and interact with students engaged in a project
Good point https://t.co/H1DRXhr72b
A4: Step 1 - create a vision for edTech for school and then support individuals regardless of title
A3 Ss & Ts need to embrace failure. Creating opportunities to learn from failure fosters usage and comfort.
Do NOT make edtech requirements WITHOUT adequate time for Ts to learn & explore.
Q4: We need to see faculty across curriculum, not just in ed, model effective tech integration to help pre-service teachers
A4: Give prospective ts plenty of room to experiment (and sometime fail) with ways to apply new tech
A3:Made this poster this week.Some Ss are afraid of technology. Need strategies to help problem solve https://t.co/z1uLNfj1bt
A4: We like this video that shows a simplified version of SAMR/RAT easy for teachers to grasp/apply https://t.co/d3TzZ3eUJh
right, that's what I'm saying, is admitting that the task may be wrong for a S, an option?
Q4. Tech can enhance collab & communication. Use tech to mentor preservice t's & video obs for reflection
A4. Nothing says get your feet wet than .
Important to note: tech always changes, but the critical thinking behind it doesn’t. Focus on the skills + thought processes.
Absolute truth! We learn through play. Why stop when we get in front of the kids.
His book is coming out soon. I can’t wait!!
And I would love to see Ts embracing a role of "fellow learner" w/ Ss instead of "knowledge keeper". https://t.co/mGiwD0tzoZ
To close the digital use divide among students, Ts must also have opportunities to actively use tech https://t.co/2Q5sjgYg4n
A4: Pre-service Ts need more varied teaching experiences with different types of “experts,” not just classroom Ts.
A4 Modeling followed with practice with a purpose. Paired with a mentor Ts to observe and model
Yes, they do. I have witnessed iPad hoarding. I was upset. Trying centers to reduce the dependence.
A4: Be okay not having all the knowledge.
A4 handle the administrative elements and talk about why rather than how! Discuss value-added pedagogies, not substitution.
integrated or forced? I give low tech options
also say "must want to actively use tech that students use"
A4: Opportunities for individual support can be helpful. Some Ts are overwhelmed in lg group tech sessions.
project-based learning for adults as well? I don't like to sit in lectures. had PD course like that this summer
A3 We have tech buddies. Intermediate students work with primary.Pair teachers also.
Ed tech needs to be embedded in students' whole program so it becomes natural way to learn
nice and don't forget 100 slide PPT
Or lower the barrier and have Ts use the tool first before implementation
A4- There has to be a removal of the stigma attached to "failure". Must be seen as learning from an attempt.
. So often I hear that we teach the way we were taught-So... let's teach the way we want them to teach
화끈올탈인사~ 강남풀싸롱01021543560 강남야구장 강남풀사롱01021543560 ^^
.: Could you speak from experience w/ your preservice Ts ? How do you support their use of edtech?
so true! Adult learning should be considered.
I enjoy poster sessions at tech conf. I get to see (& sometimes chat) with Ss about their project. https://t.co/8ToMwhXvFY
Q4: invite teaches in to observe and interact with students engaged in a project
Perhaps learning objectives need to be re-evaluated. Also, age of students might be a factor
ok, almost like, it would be better if lesson plans weren't terribly linear to begin with, right
A4. Cont'd facilitate/coordinate 4 Ss and Ts alike. Separate and with a mix of Ss facilitating Ts and vice versa
Likely some of both. Good models are imperative!
Q5 coming up in 1 minute…
A 4. Those of us that know how to use the tech need to step up and mentor those that don't!
Hey tell us more in terms of what you are asking? do DTers use tech during Empathy?
Linear lesson plans without some flexibility appear outdated
Love the comment this is what I was thinking for my last post
With my preservice Ts, I do lots of tech integration, tho it isn't a tech course.
A5 - same thing as K-12 teachers. We need more time to prepare, more time to tool up, more $ for tech to just simply explore.
fail=1st attempt in learning, we all need multiple tries to master tasks!
One example, using Prezi concept maps to build networks of knowledge throughout term.
It's hard when you only see them once a week for 45 min, hopefully things may change with that group.
Q5. Modeling, modeling, modeling!
Yes. Less focus on hooking the kid on my thing, and more focus on choice
The question is: Are PSTs getting this from their profs?
Ts and Ss need to feel comfortable taking risks. Learning comes as Ss move forward from the flop. https://t.co/DWniFeQ0Cw
A4- There has to be a removal of the stigma attached to "failure". Must be seen as learning from an attempt.
A5: Effective use of tech needs to be embedded in P & T & aligned to research areas of interest to get faculty on board
A5 have staff to support their classes. Faculty can't be on an island
A5: talk with the neighboring schools where they will student teach. align their tech w/ school resources.
A5. does excellent job of using tech to help facilitate learning and using as a forum to demonstrate learning
A5: Staff needs to embrace 21st Century Tech skills. Talk to Ts who are integrating technology in the classroom.
Have them judge whether the strategy was effective
A5 Start by asking how individ faculty feels about using in their courses. Understand where they're at.
My preservice Ts also write a lesson plan paper, but they do it in a Google Doc over the term, bits at a time, w/my feedback
A5: Becoming a more prominent participant in the current edtech world so they are an active partner w/k-12 in career pipeline
A3: Ease (for Ss and Ts), utility, engagement are trifecta of converting non tech users. Offer to set it up for reluctant Ts!
A5. It is facilitating the willingness to break the mold and do something new/different with tech. Motivate and support.
A5: Teach them how to utilize tech shortly before they student teach, it helped me!
A5 faculty are worried about too many other things. Help them with a person
My preservice Ts use video to record themselves teaching before the term and @ the end of term, to reflect on their growth.
A4: I hear what you say, but I DO what you DO. Change the way we teach Pre-Service teachers
How much effective exposure to ed tech pre-service teachers gets varies among institutions
Absolutely. Failure doesn't happen until we refuse to get up. 1st yr Ts need to know its okay to fall
Very interested in Q5. I learned very little edtech through undergrad and graduate school. Would love to see it taught.
A5 SOEs can facilitate co-learning, collab opportunities for pre-service, in-service AND faculty in P-12 schools on
A 5. Instead of PD. Have a tech savvy teacher pilot a program to show others how to do it and that it's not scary.
A5: 1) It starts with hiring profs. 2) Have Schools of Ed host EdCamps for region. Great publicity! https://t.co/ITO60DEWxr
A5:If there is shared understanding of what looks like colleges/districts can work together 2 ensure this 4 all
A5 If we know where faculty is in terms of , we've got a better chance to move them to next step.
So true… which leads us to Q5!
I guess it comes down to us being intentional, deferring can be strategic, if T plans/prepares for it
We often can't predict where a student teaching placement will be, so need to prepare more globally
A5: by PD committee and tech dept. on standby for support through trials. Ensure they are able to fly on their own.
pre-Ts write there own material. LMS is blank. Students need to research and create
A5: Hire P-12 teachers to teach integrated methods at the college level
Hi Stacy. Have you been here all along? Just catching you now.
A5b. I also think that t's getting out of the way and shifting the challenge to s's can be a powerful way for all to learn!
A4:I helped to brainstorm tech ideas for a friend to use in her pre-service course for student teachers. We exchange ideas.
and be prepared for the urban experience
Give learners choice love it
Yes, LMS can be inhibiting instead of promoting innovation, choice, & creativity
...they should be leading the edtech conversation and being the liaison in educational community
yeah not sure that one is going to happen
who said anyone was uncomfortable? Tech is not always the answer. Low tech works as well
profs seems more top down, while edcamp is grassroots, right? Seems you need both
A5 why would our approaches to Higher Ed faculty be any different to teachers in classrooms? Are they 'different'?
A5 SOEs should encourage collaboration across PK-16. More faculty in schools and more Ts in prep courses exchanging ideas.
Also, we need to prepare preservice teachers to understand power of tech to connect globally
A5: Allow profs to be facilitators of creative applications of instead of conveyers of technique or knowledge.
It's interesting that professorships are modeling behavior we don't want in schools. Why is that? https://t.co/9XGTTq1IMq
profs seems more top down, while edcamp is grassroots, right? Seems you need both
Q6 coming up in 1 minute…
A5: powering teachers to embrace their creativity .... https://t.co/eBBoylH1Kx Creativity and community are the nature of oer
That is great in theory but when research is being pushed by universities teaching falls to 3rd on the list
A5: powering teachers to embrace their creativity .... https://t.co/1V9MLkrvxG Creativity and community are the nature of oer
A5. Afford Ts the opportunity to create or devise a mini program within the SOE that integrates varying tech cross Curricula
Hmm.. Why? No place in academia?
Professors often fall into the trap of teaching the way their own profs taught
can you expand on that? Do you mean tenure? focus on publishing?
Yes, but are we preparing 4 the tech or the integration and problem-solving of using available tech?
- interesting point. I think as Ts of new Ts, we should hold them to a higher standard. https://t.co/EdqN7RZfkA
A5 why would our approaches to Higher Ed faculty be any different to teachers in classrooms? Are they 'different'?
A5: Allow faculty to experiment & fail while trying to integrate technology. Allow them to see Ts using it in their classroom
And they find the answers and assess their own learning
A5 I would say go from the ISTE teacher standards and work from there.. as a framework at least. https://t.co/Zae7HeijyX
A5 Encourage teachers to explore availability of resources if schl that hires them does not have tech. Don't just accept it!
A5 Teach#edprep profs to help prospective ts asses learning value of applications.
A5: Relevant, timely, ongoing. Find tools that help make their lives easier…then encourage them to grow.
full profs take those courses. Adjuncts would get 2nd year classes at most
We need to use seamlessly in our ed programs tech tools that model global connecting
Plus lms goes away at graduation https://t.co/ejlN1bYwp4
Yes, LMS can be inhibiting instead of promoting innovation, choice, & creativity
Don't forget the buy in from the Ss
Q5. Give some love to teacher prep programs who are providing authentic experience for preservice Ts to actively use tech.
A6: I’ve got lots of love for - took computers for the classroom from Dr. Granger in 1995-6
Talking wld be a start, but courses taught by teachers who use tech seamlessly wld be more powerful
that sounds good. But cause u found that doesn't mean all ts are uncomfortable nor does ever lesson need tech
Yes, many are doing that as adjuncts and they have much credence
Q6. Building a PLN & demoing use of social media for learning is a way for preservice t's to start!
A5 cont'd these programs can be existing Ts spearheading for peers and new teachers alike. Each one, teach one
so really it's not about ceding power, but sharing and building communal power in classroom
What do you mean by wrong for a S
A6 full props goes out to and
We find many adjuncts teaching grad courses; those with K-12 experience have much credence
the idea that teachers should hold power comes from the flawed banking model of edu
First Attempt In Learning...FAIL I teach this to my Ss.
A6: Sending 3> to who are awesome advocates for their institutions!
we build all out materials in a wiki. Need to have portfolio builders
Yeah. Is publishing most important for a School of Ed to do? Most books read by Ts are written BY Ts. https://t.co/wBusJS3e6v
can you expand on that? Do you mean tenure? focus on publishing?
A5 and that Prog should extend up and down the academic ladder PreK-Adult
They might see a LMS in their teaching but it won't be the same & it will not encourage creativity
Hi, friend! Not a Q, a fact! If it can play a part, tech can reveal deep context: Social Media for ex
classrooms can be places where we build new power, if Ts learn how to defuse their authority
A5 Grant opportunities are always a great way to encourage T's and further their skills using tech.
A6: Also, much love to b/c I know from working with that great tech is instilled in pre-service Ts!
As much as I like tech, I need to have low tech options to not stray from music standards.
A6: Shout out to that had us take a tech class well before it was thought as necessary by other universities!
yes agreed. But giving low tech options allows ss to choose their comfort and progress at their rate.
Sometimes we have to move out of the way of the learning
My dream would to be a prof part-time and a T part-time. My adjuncts were the realest education. https://t.co/wBusJS3e6v
can you expand on that? Do you mean tenure? focus on publishing?
A6 Giving a huge shoutout to one of my committee members . I learned so much from him.
I don't have data on that, I think after Freire most important teacher book is prob 's
oh very much so what was the Q from that spurred your answer?
an LMS should only point to items outside of the system
we do decent job @ Elon U w/ helping PSTs to start using social media professionally/ educationally https://t.co/xBRyDALM4J
a LMS should only point to items outside of the system
I teach & & loooove tech. Time and place for all
A6 Microsoft offers great opportunities to T's to participate in authentic learning experiences for S's and T's.
lessons should have options for S creativity and improvisation I've found more open ended is best
Forgot to add to trying to bring the state together! Thanks sir. https://t.co/HKklHSlt8U
A6: Sending 3> to who are awesome advocates for their institutions!
nah I lied book is important but so is , both in classroom so it proves your point
A6: Connect the teacher prep programs to PreK-12 schools often starting early on
Right. Based on what I see on friend's teacher shelves, it's teachers writing for teachers.
With appropriate scaffolding
Shout out to for Tech Awards and positive faculty encouragement w/
Thank you to & for the excellent discussion on tonight
When student Ts enter a classroom they need to embrace technology.Some do not realize it is the future of ed.
you said it, we can drop the mic on this chat right here
Well, , Q1 asked to describe a project where Ss used tech to solve real-world problems. DT all over!
Special thanks to and for leading us tonight. Join us next week for another chat
Thanks for joining this week’s ! Don’t forget to follow your new connections from tonight!
a LMS should only be a starting point of learning not the sole source
is an example of a program that uses tech & SMedia to build b4 graduation Fndation 4 growth
A special THANK YOU to for moderating an excellent chat on Active Use of in Teacher Prep
And that is most important. More partnerships! Don't just send teacher candidates to us -come and join in!
It is all about the classroom community and the role Ss play in the community
Thanks for a great discussion!
A very fast chat but filled with great thoughts and educators. Thank you & for the marvelous .
Or doesn't know how to use the LMS to replicate what is happening in Prek_12
Big thank you to + for tonight’s
mic drop https://t.co/70caNmvRwe
Yes Elon does! Especially DC. I was antitech and now I am its biggest fan! Use it in my classroom daily!
