@SEANJFAHEY Isn't it crazy to think that #ditchbook was written before GC? So much changes so fast!

sandyrotto Jul 14 @ 10:12 PM EDT

@MindyRoidt I think 3rd grade. My 6th graders loved it. #ditchbook

jghfoundation08 Jul 14 @ 10:12 PM EDT

I wish more schools would use Google Classroom. But districts wish for Ts to use their systems. #ditchbook https://t.co/geYT8vSUIH

I use Symbaloo too. I embedded it into my class website & have Ss bookmark it for easy access #ditchbook https://t.co/FJ4izAa1g1

JoyousScience Jul 14 @ 10:08 PM EDT

District website is a little clunky. Used @Symbaloo to get around that this year. #ditchbook

mrterborg Jul 14 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@MindyRoidt I've used it with 3rd graders. They enjoyed it. You could go lower too. #ditchbook. Note, there's an annual fee now.

andytadlock Jul 14 @ 10:13 PM EDT

@emosier3 @jmattmiller @mistymitchellm Eternally grateful, Evan! I am a sponge tonight at #Ditchbook great ideas to take this fall

#ditchbook I have used classroom when my Ss have access to it, I like @SILibraries Learning Lab, and I simply use my browser history ....

JudiHolst Jul 14 @ 10:15 PM EDT

@sandyrotto - Inspired by @erik_palmer, no doubt. Created most of my own units/lessons with the Ss help along the way. #ditchbook

SEANJFAHEY Jul 14 @ 10:15 PM EDT

.@jmattmiller @TTmomTT a list of what I did to create a Home for my stuff after rereading #ditchbook last spring https://t.co/YT8m28eJ4d

TTmomTT - Moderator Jul 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2: creating content allows you to tailor it to your Ss, differentiate, and making is just plain BETTER. #ditchbook

ChristineMonge Jul 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2 I teach video production which changes with the wind. I can update and curate to stay current. #ditchbook

emosier3 Jul 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2: Creating LA content and ditching Txtbk is great! I can customize sents and phrases to fit Ss interests! #ditchbook Learning CAN be fun!

LScumpieru Jul 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2: Making own content makes the Ss see Ts strengths and interests (both #DitchBook and #TLAP references).

kellyrobson Jul 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Q2: No text books = creative solutions, more variety, relate to the Ss, Ss find/ research #ditchbook

StantonAlana Jul 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

#ditchbook A1 Alana from Dacula Georgia. I use symbaloo to hold the sites I want the kids to explore.We also have eClass here in gwinnett

MonicaLTaggart Jul 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2) Obvious advantage is creating more engaging and up to date content. Textbooks outdated and missing information. #ditchbook

WPMadden Jul 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2: Making learning relevant to my students #Ditchbook

TTmomTT - Moderator Jul 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

@SEANJFAHEY @jmattmiller I love your notes in the book! #ditchbook

jmattmiller - Moderator Jul 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Creating your own content: Up to date. Personalized. Interesting. Don't have to dig for content online that only sorta works.. #ditchbook

MistyMitchellm Jul 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2: creating content lets u digest & consider it first. To teach content passionately have 2 understand it and B connected 2 it. #ditchbook

jghfoundation08 Jul 14 @ 10:16 PM EDT

A2: Creating your own contents keeps the learning content in real-time. Needed because our Ss are digital learners and seekers. #ditchbook

@SEANJFAHEY @TTmomTT Nice Sean! #ditchbook

mrsbieler Jul 14 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2: Personalization. Textbook authors don't know my kids like I know my kids. #ditchbook

LScumpieru Jul 14 @ 10:17 PM EDT

A2: Making one’s own content gives emphasis on skills that may be lost due to no creativity in chapter reviews, worksheets, etc. #DitchBook
