MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:11 PM EST

@DaniKSloan #utedchat #westedchat "Learn from failures!" That sparks my joy to hear you say that!

mrlewisyoung Feb 24 @ 11:11 PM EST

@covili There's power in an online PLC. We've done a school-wide Google Classroom PD that has been eye opening. #utedchat

marlamcmaster97 Feb 24 @ 11:11 PM EST

A1 I'm excited to try social media in my PLN. I can't remember what a PLC is even though our instructor told us. #utedchat #westedchat

@mrlewisyoung That sounds amazing. Online PLCs have the ability to reach learning when it needs to happen. #westedchat #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Feb 24 @ 11:12 PM EST

@crossleyjs I've been wondering the same thing for the past few minutes. Is it a shared goal? #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:13 PM EST

@mrlewisyoung @covili That sounds interesting. Most teachers attended? #utedchat #westedchat

Online PLC opens you up to more choice, more answers, more ideas, more sharing, breaking boundaries of familiarity #utedchat #westedchat

mrlewisyoung Feb 24 @ 11:14 PM EST

@covili Gives people the wait-time they need, you hear from people that are quiet in group scenarios, and you get to do PD in PJs #utedchat

bwe545 Feb 24 @ 11:14 PM EST

@mrlewisyoung @crossleyjs always asking the hard questions. #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:14 PM EST

covili - Moderator Feb 24 @ 11:19 PM EST

@crossleyjs Great idea to have different PLCs meet in the same room. Like in edcamp, gives you chance to move around. #utedchat #westedchat

kiedew Feb 24 @ 11:19 PM EST

@crossleyjs That is awesome! We do cross grade level meetings once a month at faculty meeting. They are so valuable! #utedchat

mareharedub Feb 24 @ 11:20 PM EST

@johnemett definitely! #utedchat #westedchat

EdTecHakk Feb 24 @ 11:20 PM EST

bethtannerslc Feb 24 @ 11:20 PM EST

@crossleyjs I LOVE the common meeting place! #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Feb 24 @ 11:20 PM EST

@RigbyTami It was expensive to fund subs for each team monthly, but really worth the expense. #utedchat #westedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:21 PM EST

@crossleyjs #utedchat #westedchat So you all meet at once just in small groups in same area? https://t.co/1O0iaVaLFD

@MaripoZel @crossleyjs Yeah, exactly. #utedchat #westedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 24 @ 11:22 PM EST

@DaniKSloan @EdTecHakk I thought food was a requirement for a PLC. I’m eating right now…#utedchat #westedchat

marlamcmaster97 Feb 24 @ 11:22 PM EST

A2: when I taught we used video conferencing, email, and after school face to face. I'm not seeing any questions. #utedchat #westedchat

A2; As a substitute I work with the teacher and the principal. #utedchat #westedchat

EdTecHakk Feb 24 @ 11:23 PM EST

@crossleyjs @uenpd One thing I learned from @wardjhs during @CSDEdTech PD is that good food = good moods for learning. #utedchat #westedchat

johnemett Feb 24 @ 11:23 PM EST

@mrlewisyoung Wish this was in the school cal so not to fret about subs. Love it. During the year, you are in the thick of it. #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:36 PM EST

#utedchat #westedchat Add administrators to the PLC? Sometimes they seem so removed. https://t.co/urYvN2XMPx

Confession time - what are your unconscious mannerism while teaching? I say “does that work” way too much. #utedchat #westedchat

@MaripoZel Or create a fabulous YouTube channel? #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Feb 24 @ 11:36 PM EST

@crossleyjs @johnemett I agree that it can be. But during the year when you can talk about specific kids by name it steps it up. #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:37 PM EST

#utedchat #westedchat Need information or help about Twitter. Great ideas located here. https://t.co/Of4i89t0mW

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:37 PM EST

#utedchat #westedchat Learning Walks! Sounds great. @MrsGreenCSD https://t.co/IXuHVGF1CL

MrsGreeneCSD Feb 24 @ 11:30 PM EST

A3: When I taught in MD, learning walks happened regularly. It was very helpful. I'd like them in UT, too. #utedchat #westedchat

SkylockSocial Feb 24 @ 11:37 PM EST

A4: Absolutely. #UTedChat is huge opportunity to connect & learn. Also, up-to-date. #WestEdChat

kiedew Feb 24 @ 11:37 PM EST

A4. Absolutely! We are collaborating around a common interest "PLCs." We are brainstorming and sharing ideas. #utedchat

bethtannerslc Feb 24 @ 11:37 PM EST

A4: Yes! We are professionals, learning, in a community WITH a set agenda each week. I learn something applicable each week. #utedchat

ksteedtech Feb 24 @ 11:37 PM EST

A4: #UtedChat is a PLC if people are sure to reply to each other and make a learning experience out of it. Otherwise, no. #WestEdChat

A4 Q4 in #westedchat #utedchat https://t.co/YGd0i2Stcc

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:35 PM EST

#utedchat Q4 Are #utedchat and #westedchat PLC? How so?

ckirgan5 Feb 24 @ 11:37 PM EST

a4 I think they are. I've got lots of help from #utedchat that I shared to my school. Love it. #westedchat

tbarnlrn Feb 24 @ 11:38 PM EST

A4 edchats are definitely PLC! Now I need to convince admin of that... Twitter is blocked @ school. #utedchat #westedchat

mareharedub Feb 24 @ 11:38 PM EST

@covili my students always make it a point to tell me my weird mannerisms. Like looking up weridly when I laugh. #utedchat #westedchat

RichardMcMast10 Feb 24 @ 11:38 PM EST

A3: I learn a lot from observing other teachers and try to incorporate their teaching styles into mine. #utedchat. #westedchat.

PLN or PLC is what changed my mind about using Twitter. Once I connected with others is when Twitter took off! #utedchat #westedchat

DaniKSloan Feb 24 @ 11:39 PM EST

@covili Jazz hands. I use way too many jazz hands while I teach. #westedchat #utedchat

crossleyjs Feb 24 @ 11:39 PM EST

@covili I'm still not sure. Are PLN and PLC synonymous? #utedchat #westedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:39 PM EST

#utedchat #westedchat Probably really depends on the principal. Some are warmer than others. @SkylockSocial https://t.co/hPECwTt5bg

SkylockSocial Feb 24 @ 11:34 PM EST

@kiedew @MaripoZel Principals had chilling effect, when joining one brainstorm session with teachers. #UTedChat #WestEdChat

ksteedtech Feb 24 @ 11:39 PM EST

@averyteach Exaclty! Without followup questions and answers, we aren't putting much into it. #UtedChat #WestEdChat

covili - Moderator Feb 24 @ 11:40 PM EST

@crossleyjs I am treating them that way. I look at them both as groups of learners with a common purpose. #westedchat #utedchat

tbarnlrn Feb 24 @ 11:40 PM EST

@covili I tend to wander around too much. #utedchat #westedchat

mareharedub Feb 24 @ 11:40 PM EST

A4: If we only used our in-staff PLC, us "inactive" educators would be sad. #utedchat #westedchat

EdTecHakk Feb 24 @ 11:41 PM EST

A4: Escheats like #utedchat and #westedchat are PLCs, hyper PLCs or “MicroPLCs” - fast and furious, and self selected.

FarrBfarr Feb 24 @ 11:41 PM EST

@covili I agree... my PLN has increased substantially through twitter and such chats #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:41 PM EST

@RichardMcMast10 Q3 Do you get to observe other teachers and would that be valuable? Q4 Are #utedchat & #westedchat PLCs?

StottTeach Feb 24 @ 11:41 PM EST

@covili I agree, having a network of like minded educators made my Twitter PLN Tanner off #utedchat

RichardMcMast10 Feb 24 @ 11:42 PM EST

A3: I really learn a lot from observing other teachers, and try to use their ideas in my teaching. #utedchat #westedchat.

DaniKSloan Feb 24 @ 11:42 PM EST

A4: Yes, absolutely. But in my experience In schools it felt like admins dictated the meetings, in my PLN Ts dictate the learning. #utedchat

EdTecHakk Feb 24 @ 11:42 PM EST

A4: Edchats like #utedchat and #westedchat are PLCs, hyper PLCs or “MicroPLCs” - fast and furious, and self selected.

crossleyjs Feb 24 @ 11:43 PM EST

Nice description. #utedchat #westedchat https://t.co/iEtvckOvJ0

mareharedub Feb 24 @ 11:43 PM EST

I like the self-selected part @edtechakk, and the pajamas. #utedchat #westedchat

crossleyjs Feb 24 @ 11:43 PM EST

@EdTecHakk But I was wondering what escheats were. #utedchat #westedchat

tbarnlrn Feb 24 @ 11:44 PM EST

@DaniKSloan Proximity, yes, inability to stay still longer than 5 seconds, not a good thing. #utedchat #westedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:44 PM EST

#utedchat Question 5 coming up in one minute. #westedchat https://t.co/dWaZJzuDXS

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:44 PM EST

Sharing is definitely part of the SAMR model! #westedchat #utedchat @ckirgan5 https://t.co/KX8JuPcZqH

ckirgan5 Feb 24 @ 11:37 PM EST

a4 I think they are. I've got lots of help from #utedchat that I shared to my school. Love it. #westedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 24 @ 11:44 PM EST

@EdTecHakk Like the term “microPLC” - almost like a micro burst that describes a quick moving storm. Lots of energy. #westedchat #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:45 PM EST

@SkylockSocial Which one? #utedchat #westedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:45 PM EST

#utedchat Q5 How do you document, share or archive resources with members of a PLC that aren’t present? #westedchat

RichardMcMast10 Feb 24 @ 11:45 PM EST

A4: Looks like it is to me. Discussing ideas with one another. #utedchat. #westedchat.

FarrBfarr Feb 24 @ 11:45 PM EST

A3 As a district instructional coach, I'm constantly looking for educators for my first year educators to observe/powerful tool #utedchat

tbarnlrn Feb 24 @ 11:45 PM EST

@MaripoZel What is the SAMR model? #utedchat #westedchat

marlamcmaster97 Feb 24 @ 11:45 PM EST

A4: Looks like it to me. It's nice not to feel isolated. #utedchat #westedchat

mareharedub Feb 24 @ 11:46 PM EST

A5: I think that's the easy part-- when it's saved digitally-- on my twitter feed, email, fb, it's accessible always! #utedchat #westedchat

FitsumFAbebe Feb 24 @ 11:47 PM EST

A4: PLC became a lifelong learning experience with the help technology:-) #UTedchat #TEAC880j

mareharedub Feb 24 @ 11:47 PM EST

A5: PINTEREST is the freaking best! #utedchat #westedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:47 PM EST

#westedchat #utedchat Have you tried Storify? https://t.co/2zFn0BVbHx https://t.co/8dnzeQoKGY

SkylockSocial Feb 24 @ 11:47 PM EST

A5: I've been sharing links & resources to our social media pages & blogpage. #UTedChat #WestEdChat

hiccupc Feb 24 @ 11:48 PM EST

A5: Google Forms -> Google Sheets. Easy to share with missing members or admin. #westedchat #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:48 PM EST

#westedchat #utedchat Continuous and ongoing has a profound impact on teacher, student &&&& ADMIN learning. https://t.co/zDvsuM8Mdt

StottTeach Feb 24 @ 11:48 PM EST

@covili @MaripoZel A4 definitely PLN. It's better than in school PD cause you can choose way you want to learn! #westedchat #utedchat

kiedew Feb 24 @ 11:48 PM EST

A5. Each grade level has a note taker. That note taker types notes and saves them on the shared drive. Easy access! #utedchat

FarrBfarr Feb 24 @ 11:48 PM EST

@mareharedub Agree with you! More accessible, the better #utedchat

RHSTheatre Feb 24 @ 11:49 PM EST

#westedchat #utedchat So have I. Thanks everyone for sharing. Btw, just got home from tutoring Native Am. Kids. https://t.co/W2BT1wUvVW

a4 I think they are. I've got lots of help from #utedchat that I shared to my school. Love it. #westedchat

ckirgan5 Feb 24 @ 11:49 PM EST

a5 Usually take notes on a doc then share it to those who were absent. #utedchat #westedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:49 PM EST

@tbarnlrn #utedchat #westedchat SAMR is sort of like Bloom's T but is specifically about tech. https://t.co/jaxvz4O5Vl

MrsGreeneCSD Feb 24 @ 11:49 PM EST

#utedchat #westedchat A5 We use GoogleDrive for a lot of our sharing

covili - Moderator Feb 24 @ 11:49 PM EST

Used Google Drive to takes notes for #edcamput in Oct. Gave others a chance to read what we discussed in the session. #westedchat #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:50 PM EST

We met people from #utedchat and #westedchat tonight. Are we learning yet? Oh, yeah. Science Rules! https://t.co/Va7Slc5htm

RichardMcMast10 Feb 24 @ 11:50 PM EST

@MaripoZel Yes I observe other teachers and it is valuable. #utedchat #westedchat

tbarnlrn Feb 24 @ 11:50 PM EST

A5 I liked using a shared google drive to share and document PLC. #utedchat #westedchat

bethtannerslc Feb 24 @ 11:50 PM EST

A5: Minutes via email. Not as helpful as a a video or a Twitter chat. #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:51 PM EST

#utedchat #westedchat @DebbieWSanchez I think there may have to be a space between the two hashtags.

crossleyjs Feb 24 @ 11:51 PM EST

totally agree @bethtannerslc #utedchat #westedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 24 @ 11:53 PM EST

@bethtannerslc Good point - I often wonder who reads minutes from a meeting. Much rather watch a video. #utedchat #westedchat

RichardMcMast10 Feb 24 @ 11:53 PM EST

A5: Facebook. #utedchat #westedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:53 PM EST

@crossleyjs Oh yeah. I just heard of that! #Westedchat #utedchat

RichardMcMast10 Feb 24 @ 11:54 PM EST

@averyteach @crossleyjs Yep. It worked pretty well. #UTedChat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:54 PM EST

Hey, when does #westedchat normally have its chat? #utedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:55 PM EST

Q6 Have you ever considered a SLC? What would a Student Learning Community look like? #utedchat #westedchat

tbarnlrn Feb 24 @ 11:55 PM EST

@covili @bethtannerslc I would rather read info than watch a video. Maybe just me. I read faster than a video plays. #utedchat #westedchat

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:55 PM EST

@tbarnlrn @covili @bethtannerslc #westedchat #utedchat I am with Tasha on this.

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:56 PM EST

#westedchat #utedchat https://t.co/QJwWam4BoT Students SLCs? https://t.co/QJwWam4BoT https://t.co/c6vYBp8WJ4

EdTecHakk Feb 24 @ 11:56 PM EST

@MaripoZel My guess is a SLC would look like a city around a big church in between huge mountains and a salty lake. #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 24 @ 11:56 PM EST

@tbarnlrn Good point Tasha - there are times reading notes is faster. Usually just have video playing in background. #utedchat #westedchat

mareharedub Feb 24 @ 11:56 PM EST

A6: would teachers be involved, or in what capacity would a slc be used? #utedchat #westedchat

RichardMcMast10 Feb 24 @ 11:57 PM EST

A5: Facebook and Twitter. #utedchat #westedchat

kiedew Feb 24 @ 11:57 PM EST

I like the sounds of SLC. A student led learning community? Where students work together to accomplish a goal? #utedchat

mareharedub Feb 24 @ 11:57 PM EST

sounds perfect! @EdTecHakk #nailedit #utedchat #westedchat

tbarnlrn Feb 24 @ 11:57 PM EST

@MaripoZel Glad I'm not the only one! #utedchat #westedchat

DebbieWSanders Feb 24 @ 11:57 PM EST

A6: SLC that is an interesting concept, particularly in sped. Worth thinking about for sure #utedchat #westedchat

marlamcmaster97 Feb 24 @ 11:57 PM EST

A5 #utedchat #westedchat I've also used google drive but found it slow during the last 1/2 hour of school when I needed to use the resources

MaripoZel Feb 24 @ 11:58 PM EST
