I know the feeling.. True that it's awesome, true that it's a tough sell to many https://t.co/1SdHpWlhrS
A2: get on Twitter!! ;) it's sadly not usually accepted by many I speak with
Super easy to use and easy to learn, they have a great help/intro video sequence
A3: I may be blaspheming here, but, kinda.. Twitter. !!!
I think you need to expand on this.
Hi all! Kathi up late again in NJ. This is a fun chat!
I have a backyard FULL of weeds. Boo :(
A3: Once I get my Swivl there will be. *fingers crossed*
Pixabay is a great site to get copyright friendly vector graphics!

A2: get on Twitter!! ;) it's sadly not usually accepted by many I speak with
A2: Love sharing screencastify with peeps, got that gem from

Boom! Thanks for the tip Jessica!
you should see us PE folks at conferences we danced till they kicked us out in Santa Clara!!
Came in late and reading fast to catch up :) Laurie from San Marcos, CA
A3: the awesomeness of Google Draw and Slides
A3: Good Q. This is a hard one. I think everyone on will find this difficult since we’re all a sharing community
couldn't garden much last summer, had TKR
that stinks! Ts can bypass our filter for 90 min time chunks-as it should be!
horizontal and vertical flips are your friend for framing pics to fit your slide size
A3: If my budget would allow for a stand up desk, I would NOT share that sucker.
Ooooh I'd maybe keep this one to myself hehe
They're like $299 now. https://t.co/SEM2wbLXrr

It is so true... And when I suggest it I get looks like... "How old are you?? Twitter? Really??" https://t.co/KIMhDQFFJQ
A2: get on Twitter!! ;) it's sadly not usually accepted by many I speak with

A3cont: I’m interested in seeing what tools others will say is the tool they’d like to keep to themselves though.
Me too. I definitely want to check it out more.
got to play with recently with and it was awesome. So powerful.
A3: I don't have 1 to keep to myself, just the opposite, I have tools that I wish ppl would use instead of what they currently do.
Oh man. I can only imagine!
Super cool and powerful tool
A3: wish I could scoop up a class set of iPads from other classes that just use them for AR :/
We have 2 for our school. Love using Swivl
A3: Sometimes I think I am sharing but I get in my "geek zone" & speak too quickly that I might be keeping it to myself by default
True sign that spring has sprung
A3...well...sometimes my scarcasm. It doesn't always translate to 140 characters
I knew Ed would know the magic touch
That strikes me as odd. I get all my stuff from Twitter either directly or indirectly.
A3: Fun question! Honestly, there's no tech tool I want to keep. What makes my job awesome is being able to share "the light".
Our Math TOSA told me about DESMOS and it really is an awesome tool!
Have we started a Google doc yet?
I refer to Twitter so much per day/mtgs I FINALLY got a few coworkers to jump on board (prob just to shut me up)
It’s Kathi! Thanks for sharing up late with us!
I just dont understand how y'all have the time to explore all these tools.
great idea. My email is a mess!
A2: LOVE sharing with peeps. It lets me make things pretty.
That so sounds like what you'd do too (:
Everything that Ed touches turns to gold. Just saying :-P
https://t.co/zF7EeFFgYQ
A2: LOVE sharing with peeps. It lets me make things pretty.
Wow! It looks like an oasis. Garden party!
That looks amazing! Great area for hosting friends.
Hey, Mark! Glad you are here
A2: Shower rds used as various sized white bds. Bought 3 & LOWES cut into 24 (2ft x 2ft). Have sets to bring when coteaching
Thanks so much for the warm welcome! I think I'm on CA time! 😉
Seriously. I have a new tree to put into the ground.
About to lose Internet 'cause we're getting ready to land... It was fun while it lasted, !
seriously mark!! sometimes more is less!
I try to keep my inbox with 5 messages or less. Currently 28.
oh yes, for the vector graphics!
I love that pair! & Tab for a Cause - open tabs, donate to charity.
the more the merrier here!!
I feel exactly the same way. When eyes glaze over or they say "that's nice"
& it’s only a right-click (& submenu) away all the time.
A3: just got 3 cases & assorted accessories, kinda not wanting to share those
I have one. Don’t use it much though.
So many things have become natural to me that I need to see what a tchr is trying to accomplish and recommend a tool to match.
Agree! That’s my answer— we are so we’ve got to share our tools!
Is someone making a list of all these tools?
me too!! I hear say awesome things about it!
I mainly use my gorilla grip tripod
I know Tom; it is hard to believe the snarly faces I get when I mention Twitter to some
A3: Don't want to hoard tech tools...but also don't want all Ts using the same cool tool all the time. Ss get bored
YAY! Have you ever lived in CA?
Hey my wife, who actually is a TOSA, wants to know who's using for PD or PLC she's not on
Hey my wife, who actually is a TOSA, wants to know who's using for PD or PLC she's not on
Question 4 is coming up! Only 1 minute until question 4!

A2: Alt+Shift+i on Chromebooks to submit issues
I’ve learned so much from the community! Definitely https://t.co/1mjp91jhsB
Agree! That’s my answer— we are so we’ve got to share our tools!
I shared this with and last night
A3: I wish I could keep my tech mistakes/failures to myself...oh no wait..nevermind, I want to share those too.
A3: sometimes I don't want to share Excel spreadsheets that I've created... Ts can mess them up and want me to fix the formulas.
I use GoogleClassroom for PD in my district
Q4: How do you deal when you’re told the edu equivalent of “No soup for you! Come back - one year!” https://t.co/48gJ8B8sK8
Ohhhhh... but it's not! It's BOTH! Ctl does the magic of just copying it to use (paste) immediately! https://t.co/om3zgN887X
Its just Shft-Cmd-4 (or 3). No Ctl
If we had more classroom Ts in the chat I think we’d hear this one a lot.
Not yet! Would love it, though!
I have baby one w my GoPro.
A3: I have FOMO, so everyone must share... 😂 https://t.co/cWDnjrj2gU
A3: Good Q. This is a hard one. I think everyone on will find this difficult since we’re all a sharing community
Want to apply for a TOSA position in my district?
is one of my favorite tools! I LOVE IT!
I agree, but Ts and admins who don't use Twitter don't understand. They only see teens following bands https://t.co/8Iol374Eoc
That strikes me as odd. I get all my stuff from Twitter either directly or indirectly.
A4: Say WHAT?! really loud in my head and think this...then come up w/ a new plan to get my way. https://t.co/WkLSF33OiL
A4: If it's in the best interest of Ss, I do it anyway!
This episode was on the other night. So funny.
That is remarkable...I like 15 or less, but I'm at about 300+ right now :( https://t.co/iioXuw2TCo
I try to keep my inbox with 5 messages or less. Currently 28.
A4 I definitely had this moment this year from a tech averse teacher. Be respectful, keep door open, move on.
A4: 1. timing is everything; 2. as TOSAs, sometimes we are ahead of our time; 3. Next year in Jerusalem https://t.co/lUX8zkBMCS
A4: Sneak in the backdoor and grab some for myself and share it with everyone who wants the magic stuff https://t.co/HZaKdioktp
Q4: How do you deal when you’re told the edu equivalent of “No soup for you! Come back - one year!” https://t.co/48gJ8B8sK8
A4 Find someone who DOES support you and get them to help. =)
A4:Oftentimes "relentlessness" is the only way to overcome obstacles. Stay strong and don’t stop pushing. https://t.co/73acFYK4BQ
A4: Usually it’s bc ppl don’t quite understand the idea. Identifying the need is the IMPT 1st part.
I did that for my summer job two years ago!
A4) You find someone else to help make your idea a reality.
A4: I find another soup restaurant..or another T who wants to try it. 1 of the v. FEW advantages of supporting 150+ Ts.
I try to go through it each night while watching TV. Great when I watch Seinfeld. :)
dang! If those are cherry tomatoes, I'll share my fave spicy spaghetti recipe w you! 🍅🍅🍅
I believe is...I know there are others but can't remember who...Why isn't she on?!
Bye Darin! Thanks for joining us tonight =)
A4: I tend to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.
A3: I wish peeps, teens mostly would keep snapchat face swap to themselves
A4: I go back to the drawing board to figure out how I'm going to go about manipulating the situation. All we have is Influence!
A4: be really annoying until someone lets me do it just to make me go away
A4: From an Admin perspective, I implore you - KEEP ASKING. Our school needs TOSAs
A4) i used to ask a second time; now i whistle to myself.
A4cont: Present current situation w the need, ease into it by saying you have an idea to address this need.
A4: Thankful my peeps let me roll with MOST of my crazy ideas and don't deal w/ this. Need crazier ideas? https://t.co/DUsbVeibCK
made first flipped PD for Ts, posted it in Google Classroom and had teachers turn in work
I can not keep up. At all.
I 100% agree with this! So disturbing!
Nice Josh! Good strategy. Need more YELP type reviews of lessons in action. Reflect, share, repeat.
https://t.co/A9NiugINg4
A4: I find another soup restaurant..or another T who wants to try it. 1 of the v. FEW advantages of supporting 150+ Ts.
A4: search for another way, grant, a fundraiser, or just do it and prove its great! Or call Jackie Chiles https://t.co/qAbgTI5xYw
A4: LIke when I get told, "No more Conferences for you!" Then I look for another job
I agree! Getting others to see value, a need, and the ease of what you're trying to do!
When a door shuts and window open!! Great perspective Craig https://t.co/Z6cTf5Owvx
A4) You find someone else to help make your idea a reality.
Definitely! So glad I’ve connected w everyone on
A4 I have great leaders at in my district don't hear that word very often
just more time with the MS Sci Dept ;)
I need to purge and organize!
Q4: I go for it. Asking for forgiveness is easier than asking for permission.
Just another reason to use Google sheets! :)
Well said. Never a bad idea to start over to plan next steps.
A4: If told no on something I'm really passionate abt, I keep pushing issue, providing reasons why it will benefit Ss
Great Advice!!! https://t.co/8720CHiOby
A4: From an Admin perspective, I implore you - KEEP ASKING. Our school needs TOSAs
For 2yrs I tried to get my district to create a TOSA Tech position! I finally estab a sense of urgency and helped them understand
A4: Gentle relentless pressure. I'm trying to find that perfect line to walk. (eg: my district won't go GAFE. Grrrr.).
One of my Ts start suggesting I do reviews/testimonials from Ts I work w/ in my emails to them. It’s a good idea
When in a clssrm, I push I'm there on their time sched. No rush, no hurry. With kids, I sell their tchr as trying something new
not bad, plus it was good exercise
that and cleaning...I avoid at all costs, but it feels great when I do!
I'm lucky to I have an incredible admin at my site and great dist support in
Yes— ask for forgiveness, not permission.
I will be trying this tomorrow.
That’s great to hear. Present it with a NEED for that position & support for teachers!
A4: Haven't run into this much yet. I'm lucky the PD I do is all T choice. No one is forced to come.
So true. I love when Ts light up from learning something new.
You will appreciate it ;)
I'd suffer from FOMO for Mari's trainings.
https://t.co/N7yQDbV92O
A4: Haven't run into this much yet. I'm lucky the PD I do is all T choice. No one is forced to come.
They went 365 & it's killing me. It's been an absolute debacle.
Love this! My goal as and Admin. https://t.co/O0YGSc2hEo
A4: Haven't run into this much yet. I'm lucky the PD I do is all T choice. No one is forced to come.
That’s a challenging place to be in. Definitely in a place of influence. Hard bc we don’t make decisions.
A4 I am lucky to work with Ts who are open to trying something new and knowing it might not always work
just keep pushing!! great job Roni!!
A4: “When a door closes, another one opens.” OR you can just open the closed door. That’s how doors work. https://t.co/DroHOscvrV
I always tell people I’m a seed planter and a gentle pusher. Until I know you can take it and then I shove.
Laundry is on my list. :)
1 minute until question 5!
sometimes u need to do what is right for students
looks great! A friend dehydrated cherry tomatoes. Made great snacks.
sorry for the late arrival!
A4: Find avenues around, check in with to make sure idea is valid, and
Definitely IMPT to have teacher choice & teacher voice in PD. https://t.co/zz2H6x2gdF
A4: Haven't run into this much yet. I'm lucky the PD I do is all T choice. No one is forced to come.
Did I hear spicy spaghetti recipe?? Must have.
A4: I just do it and then ask for forgiveness later. Have to do some crazy things to get some crazy results. ;)
Hi Kelly! Late is JUST fine =) Jump on in!
love this infiltration model, and I love when people are ready for that push!
Q5: Think Festivus Feats of Strength. What tool(s) do you believe holds the most power for TOSAs? https://t.co/Ywx2x2gcvv
I like this https://t.co/2O2Ux8bulk
I always tell people I’m a seed planter and a gentle pusher. Until I know you can take it and then I shove.
I'm also back in grad school for admin. Hoping to have more of a voice for good change. https://t.co/J7WSjaYvPL
That’s a challenging place to be in. Definitely in a place of influence. Hard bc we don’t make decisions.
that is the one household chore I actually get done, though not so much the putting it away part
A4: I think I need to be bolder with my ideas. I'm not asking to share enough.
My district uses O365 for teachers. We also have GAFE. Best of both worlds.
I can't either! This is awesome and you are doing amazing!
So, so creepy. I swapped with my husband. Disgusting. My own kids were kinda cute. Couldn’t tell the difference.
…from a distance…with a rock that has no finger prints on it…wait, what are we talking about again? ;-)
A5 It's ALL about Relationships!
Do it! I'm in the same boat.
Great chatting, found out I have to play music for mass tomorrow, must check out!
A5: The power of relationships. No other tool works quite as well.
YES! recently said on our grp that we need to go into admin so we can change status quo.
Bye Elizabeth! Thanks for joining us. =)
A5) I think might be great to help share in the excitement. More contacts = Better, right?
A5: Any way to highlight actual Ts and Ss work: YouTube, Padlet, social bookmarking.
I'm working on b/c there is too much in my life to keep track of https://t.co/AG2sg0H40k
I'd suffer from FOMO for Mari's trainings.
https://t.co/N7yQDbV92O
A4: Haven't run into this much yet. I'm lucky the PD I do is all T choice. No one is forced to come.
A5: Dr Dweck's Book call "Mindset"-It's on Audible and helps understand where those we coach come from
Oh, and ironing my dress shirts. That’s not fun for me.
YES! Share the AWESOME!!!
A4: talked to a T about this today. We need to look for the "runners" and teach them new tips and tricks. They get others excited
Yes!!!! I tried to tell 'em dual platform can work... Deaf ears (for now). I keep plugging away!
A5 All social media. We're stronger together.
A5: A smile, some choco/coffee, a handshake, a note in a T's box! Anything that helps build relationships https://t.co/p8kSozJSuN
A5: The most powerful tool for TOSAs is connecting with other TOSAs & Coaches! PERIOD
we have both now. O365 was messy. Office staff will con't w/ it Ts will be weaned off it.
Great book! I'm about 1/2 way through. Also check local library digital collections on
I’m so far behind. Still trying though.
A5: I get my power from my pocket pals and that one group of folks who know who they are! TWITTER/VOXER PD https://t.co/agp617YevQ
thanks for the chat! Active group and great Qs tonight!
A5: Anything that will make a T's job easier. Might be Remind or Google Forms or Google Classroom or Padlet or ...
A5 not having classroom amnesia and using good teaching practices in PD that from the T side.
A5: open schedule, willing to co-teach the lesson the first time, listen to the failures and try to come up with the next steps
great to have admins in the positions for the right reasons!
I must say do rule! I use them 4 lab dissections then each grp puts there's on a class Padlet on haiku
Love sharing through Social Media... can you tell?
https://t.co/LN2NN4ZHFu
A5 All social media. We're stronger together.
Maybe it’s an issue of money. Always seems to be that way for most districts.
A5: Twitter+Voxer. Making connections w/ other to get ideas & encouragement frm each other is more impactful in the long run
A5: Listening with out judgement. I've found I need to open my ears and mind and shut my mouth.
It has to come back to Ss. They hold the key!
School-to-work transition rates vary by state, most require additional support resources for learning and working life.
A5, for me, it's better understanding of & soon so I can help Ts
A4 ask for rationale and explain my position. 9/10 I'm successful the other one I figure out a way around the no
I don’t really use much of O365. Use it only bc calendar is on it.
I always check tags, don't buy if it's dry-clean only!
A5 from the TOSA side Ts can be the worst Ss you'll ever have so patience and treat teach them how you'd want to be taught.
It really is an excellent tool!
calendar is what i want off esp when we move to gmail. still need a plan for that...
A5: great inquiry skills, listen, &try to send them to the right experts if it's not you! Don't always try to have all the answers
A5: Stay connect, sharing our EDUwins & EDUfails & EDUopportunities, asking Qs, sharing resources, … Power of PLN!
I'm not sure Googlesheets can do everything I'm doing. Vlookup, conditional formatting. I need to play w/ it more
Aprill is a great resource for O365.
I think GAFE is cheaper in every way, right? I'm pretty sure.
I love idea! Looking for ways to push my way in next year and add goodies to make it special!
A5: GoogleClassroom has been awesome lately. Ss add my class, instant assignments/polls
A5: Google Forms and my PLN
Oh ha! Sweet! Wish you could come to SD! I’m thinking about doing an online training this summer on SAMR via Classroom
Sorry I'm late, Chris from Arizona, wanted 2 join you all sense my 1st experience. You all are
absolutely! So much stronger together.
I don’t have many dry-clean only things. Ironing shirts still suck for me though.
Wait...what...um...do you have SB HW for you
Need to get better about curating resources. Started with Pinterest, but not accessible enough to all.
thanks much!! kindness goes a long way for sure
Excuse my lack of tweeting.. watching Seinfeld on
Good perspective on the soft skills https://t.co/P0kkUEcKhf
A5: open schedule, willing to co-teach the lesson the first time, listen to the failures and try to come up with the next steps
A5: We all need relationships.
Sry. This is one of my favs - had to try and get it in somehow. https://t.co/ES3NwTMnG7
I’m so thankful for each of you. Can’t wait to get together again.
They just added a "Feedback" feature! So great for instant feedback for Ss!
I'm pretty alright with . Need to work on .
My supt calls them the 'heat-seekers' i <3 that term.i like 2 think i'm still a heat seeker cuz i'm on fire! lol!
Hi Chris!! So excited to have you here with us. Late is JUST fine in !

A5: Adaptability, Understanding, Ability to build, trust, friendship, camaraderie, confidence, and empowerment, be a great COACH
OMG, so glad you said I love that book & its power to shape! https://t.co/T82LtGbmzb
A5: Dr Dweck's Book call "Mindset"-It's on Audible and helps understand where those we coach come from
Preach! https://t.co/CqcTr8il9I
A5: The most powerful tool for TOSAs is connecting with other TOSAs & Coaches! PERIOD
Yes! Know and admit what you don't know, and help find the right person/solution/path! https://t.co/1ntjbg5teR
A5: great inquiry skills, listen, &try to send them to the right experts if it's not you! Don't always try to have all the answers
great foundations & knowledge to build upon! understanding SAMR & TPACK helps w the big shifts in pedagogy...
Luckily, I don’t deal w the finances of it. Would probably give me white hair.
I'm so impatient with ironing...those items would just never get worn for me ha.
A5: Oh, I'm sounding like a broken record... . Great way to organize training, info, collaborate, search function amazing.
A5: is still at the top of my list. So many uses!
Me too! Need to start curating better for my Ts.
WOW! That's a lot of awesome rolled into one Tweet! https://t.co/lPxnlJek2u
A5: Adaptability, Understanding, Ability to build, trust, friendship, camaraderie, confidence, and empowerment, be a great COACH
Actually, even Ts add my class so they know what's up
if you mean cheaper as in FREE, then yes.
Question 6 will appear in 1 minute!
I can imagine that. I have a pile of shirts to iron. They’ve been sitting there for 4 months.
When you know you have a winning concept for topic
Also check out Mandinach and Kline's Teacher Confidence model https://t.co/b3jQYLaabs
I'm pretty alright with . Need to work on .
Might have to make a master Padlet, and then link "sub padlets" to diff categories...
Our job is more impactful when we ask more questions than provide answers.
LOL Joe! I just wear them first... and then worry about ironing later
https://t.co/2c5GCUvrfr
I can imagine that. I have a pile of shirts to iron. They’ve been sitting there for 4 months.
my best tool is my integrity. I practice what I preach and value what the Ts and Ss do
no worries Chris! better late than never and we're here every Monday at 8 pm PST. You're always welcome!
Hahaha. That’s true. Luckily, it’s been somewhat sweater weather some days.
A5 I agree, it is all about relationships. We get invited into classrooms by Ts. There has to be trust and respect on both sides
A great tool to have! https://t.co/dgMsWchjH6
my best tool is my integrity. I practice what I preach and value what the Ts and Ss do
Kelly, how was O365 messy? Starting it in our district.
Falling down the Seinfeld rabbit hole?
That's what my I.T. dept thinks, too. On the edu-side, I see much greater potential with GAFE.
Sounds like you read John Wooden's playbook (: well said
Must find us some minions...which would be a great chat topic.
That's what I was just working on! A more organized . Would love to connect on this!
agree completely MaryFran and thanks for joining us BTW
Yes! GAFE has really opened doors for collaboration.
A6:usually not this. I try to stay positive & try to find/teach one thing they can use tomorrow. https://t.co/8sMBOwT2Yo
Before every one starts to fade.. I wanna throw out that we are hosting an edcamp in Santa Maria on April 23rd, if you are close!
A6) Meet anti-techites where they are at... Reel them in with something simple... i.e.
A6: I remind my anti-techites that they didn't learn to drive a car/ride a bike overnight-it took a lot of practice & patience
A6: start small, I teach the tech skill in my class so Ss already have skill & all other T has to do is facilitate the lesson
A5 Go slow and keep it simple. Let them lead. Ask them what they WANT to use tech for.
A6: Probably not the best thing, but I ignore them and focus my limited time (.2) on those that want to learn
Hence the problem w/ non-cred ppl making final decisions that affect classroom We teach S, not tech
A6 be a good leader, let them learn at their own pace, answer their questions and don't push too hard
A6: I try to find a slightly-more techie friend from same grade level or dept. Peer pressure/Peer power https://t.co/FPjDmiH8il
A6: First, make sure wifi is working well...then take away all other concerns by showing it can be done
A6:Start w showing how it can impact their personal lives. When they make tool personal they connect w it & then goes professional
I just opened it. Brilliant. World domination with Padlet!
My district used Blendspace a lot & recently moved over to Padlets.
Exactly what I do too! Start out fun & simple!
Also, some of you are coming to # STEAMpunk in a couple weeks. will host on Saturday evening!
A6 encouragement, warmth, no judgement! Ask what they want to do/goals.
who to find minions.. i am working on 4 of my own!! mwmahahahaha
A6 Empathy. Asking what they need and sneaking in by supporting that.
And Ben said I can mod sometime because I want my sticker!!!
Choose a lesson that needs a makeover and add an easy tech element. When a bad lesson becomes better, you become a believer.
Oh, the trust and respect is the most important part. without it, we can’t do our jobs.
Hook them in with something that the kids can help to create. Hand hold them if needed
https://t.co/e5ocgGhi0w
A6:Start w showing how it can impact their personal lives. When they make tool personal they connect w it & then goes professional
that's our plan-take over the tosa world w/ padlets. winner gets more padlets!
A6 Teach them to start with 1 thing and then build from that...I really use a lot. Ask
A6: Patience, calmness (neither of which com natural for me) Introduce them to other converts
https://t.co/60mh66pT8W
Yes! 1 more thing: I’ve always consider my a teacher who uses tech vs a tech teacher.
Teachers love , especially when they can search through all the great question sets already made and shared
ONE PADLET TO RULE THEM ALL!
I just want to say that I absolutely love this & you guys are really all awesome & inspirational. A brilliant group!
we'll put you on the schedule! you deserve a mod sticker!
Good call! Start w/those that want do something new Those on far end of adoption curve will join eventually
A6: I'm hoping by sharing my tech fails they'll be willing to try! Great convos with our student Ts lately on how my 1st yr sucked
Any time you invoke the mighty Lisa, you're on the right track. Great point
A6: I feel like tech scares a lot of folks try to stay calm and patient, and not be like George https://t.co/S2VupSyv1A
A6) We can't worry about the so called "anti-techies." We should help all who want help. We are servants.
A6: Choose a lesson that needs a makeover and add an easy tech element. When a bad lesson becomes better, you become a believer.
Yes! Let’s get Mari on the list!
Pressure from Ss can push reluctant Ts too. If Ss are excited/eager/ready/able, T might take the plunge
A6: Am a huge proponent of . Share SHORT videos to help colleagues learn tool on their own time & own schedule
Put tech in the hands of kids. Let them lead us.
I'LL BE AT in 2 weeks! YAY!!!!!!!
A6: I use a lot. I demo desmos lessons which helps Ts learn the program too. . 2 birds 1 stone
A6 Most Ts that are apprehensive get too overwhelmed and are a bit afraid of change...be aware of that.
I'm in. I don't see an iPad-centered one, so I'll get working.
Wonderful focus on LIFESKILLS! https://t.co/4Rc9etAmSL
my best tool is my integrity. I practice what I preach and value what the Ts and Ss do
Love that gif! So glad someone was able to work it in.
Woot woot! That's because we have the GREATEST group ever! Go ! Welcome to Kathi =) https://t.co/N6HWy9iutF
I just want to say that I absolutely love this & you guys are really all awesome & inspirational. A brilliant group!
Oh my gosh, so much love from you all!
A6 remember that Ts are Ss
You’re a rabid anti-dentite!
we're so glad you joined us! dm me if you're on voxer and want to join that learn by fire hose group!
! That's what we are all about =)
A6 I start with something small and fun for Ss, maybe Google Draw, when Ts see their students engaged, it is a toe in the door
That's something our Genius Bar Ss are creating. I should also make a few https://t.co/WA5nTrxeZz
A6: Am a huge proponent of . Share SHORT videos to help colleagues learn tool on their own time & own schedule
validate validate validate. Once see you're not the boogeyman there's room to join them
Or make custom screencasts for individuals. Thoughtful and personal. Legit too. https://t.co/V3MCMMWOm7
A6: Am a huge proponent of . Share SHORT videos to help colleagues learn tool on their own time & own schedule
According to Innovation Adoption, it’s the right thing. focus on where you will make an impact. others will follow.
I love this! I admit when I don't know things (a lot) & share failures, too. It comforts 'technophobes'!
At a previous school I taught at, we had a MouseSquad that did that. knows about that.
Peer pressure is a powerful beast.
I don't even know what that means. Is it a Seinfeld thing?! 😆
YES! Sometimes the Ts just need to see their own kids actually accomplishing the task. https://t.co/cYAWXCYUD1
A6 I start with something small and fun for Ss, maybe Google Draw, when Ts see their students engaged, it is a toe in the door
yes! this is what i'm doing w/ my old 3rd gr team! 2/3 are using classroom. the last one will call soon! https://t.co/Q90yANklCz
A6: I try to find a slightly-more techie friend from same grade level or dept. Peer pressure/Peer power https://t.co/FPjDmiH8il
A6: Ask questions, be patient w/ theirs; go slow & keep it simple. But I firmly believe they must stretch too. comfort=stagnation
BONUS QUESTION ARRIVING IN ONE MINUTE!
I like to show that I don't know everything. We all have room to grow
Thank you so much! I'm kerszi on Voxer. If love to be added!
Really?? Well, that makes me feel better about my work
A6: I approach hesitant Ts via their passions. Figure out what they care abt and share a tool that might enhance that lesson
Yes. Don’t worry Ann. We’ll have a Friends-themed soon
Well all, I still have a lot to get done for tomorrow, so happy break or back2school
stay classy... https://t.co/u5ynrmbRlb
A6: Celebrate the small steps they make, support them in and out of the classroom (jumping back in after putting kids to bed!)
A6: I want to turn a few of my antitechies around who r great GLAD teachers. Any tips on how to break away from the wall posters?
Now do the screaming goats version of this tweet. ;-) ;-) ;-)
But I worry for their students and have a hard time giving up https://t.co/HqOjru7GaT
A6) We can't worry about the so called "anti-techies." We should help all who want help. We are servants.
Q7: George leaves when he’s made an impact.
How do you “end on a high note” when working with Ts or Ss? https://t.co/FaEyqgujdN
My quest for minions is relentless! Can mod with me?
Next week is even BETTER!
A6, not sure there's really anti-techies, just those who have not been awakened yet (Matrix) also, have the helps
haha! GOOD! Means I can justify staying up for the 11pm rerun!
Tonight’s moderated by is amazing. Trending yet?
A7: I ask ts & Ss next steps. what do they want to do next how will they use it and if they had fun! https://t.co/RY0Bef8Ki0
You nailed it Chris! True that!
my favorite is to tell Ts I'm not going to take their pencils. It's the right tool for the right job
I did this! I created a whole digital badge system (w/vids) for my district. Tech PD on their own time! https://t.co/V4F1xYsGEa
A6: Am a huge proponent of . Share SHORT videos to help colleagues learn tool on their own time & own schedule
can i just come for the bbq? i miss good tritip, ranch beans and salad w/ ranch dressing...
Keep the posters, enhance w/QR codes or Make posters interactive!
A7: Continue the partnership w emails, phone calls, 1:1 visits - so the work never ends. Keep it going.
Free online graphing calculator? pls tell me I won't have to buy a new 1 for my kid who just broke theirs! https://t.co/jFBJRWFbQe
A6: I use a lot. I demo desmos lessons which helps Ts learn the program too. . 2 birds 1 stone
...went to great session at on this topic :)
You rock for that answer!
This is my goal this summer so I can roll out 2016-17. Any advice?
A7:Celebrate today and look forward to tomorrow…what are we going to celebrate at the end of tomorrow? :)
By sharing the AWESOME that they are doing! =)
Tried a new tech tool with my lesson today...complete failure. Try again tomorrow! Can't wait to share w my Ts!
A7: there is no end, share more w/Ss or Ts, how can we use again or take it to the next level? what ideas do YOU have?
A7) Im a high five and fist bump guy. I like to start and end on a high note and have one in the middle too.
One of the lines I use most often - “I don’t know. Let’s learn it together."
High Note: This was so awesome! TY! Did I see correctly, there would be an Excel SprdSht?
We can all use more high fives!
https://t.co/pAST5burNc
A7) Im a high five and fist bump guy. I like to start and end on a high note and have one in the middle too.

You speak the truth Kim!
https://t.co/igCp6KPqe4
A7: there is no end, share more w/Ss or Ts, how can we use again or take it to the next level? what ideas do YOU have?
Show them the power of collaborative tech tools like for observation charts. Go from there
I saw that there was a presentation. So want the notes! Seriously could turn around my school. Hope to see it at ISTE??
Ok glad to talk about "nothing" with you all tonight! Now, back to mindset! 💕
Would love any and all advice you can give! That is my goal for my district!!
A7: Actual applause and brag on those Ts to their peers.
It’s student tech support for elementary.
It's a national and state tech club. I run the squad at our school.
A7: show my students I am excited as they are! Talk about how well things went make a point to tell them 1 on 1
nothing’s funnier than that video!
You can def find slides on the Sched
A7 I nominate A LOT of Ts & staff for awards they deserve!
Moving from one screen to the next adios
I also used to do digital observation charts from time to time
Yes! is a free online calculator. It's AWESOME. No need 2 spend $$. Buy yourself something instead :)
Thank you all for your incredible insights on . Remember to continue to build your PLN & follow others.
ABQLove doing this at the end of working in a class.Everyone ends up feeling good and we all leave smiling https://t.co/jUm6ISze9N
