Wow, that is a lot of snow. Good to be chatting with you again.

-
welcome! How are things there?
-
welcome! How much snow for you?
-
Welcome, glad to have you!

Good evening! Mel from Suffolk; my snow vacation ends tomorrow. Back to fourth grade reality.

cold, but beautiful. We were due for a good storm.
-
-
Tiawana, AP from Richmond sounding off.
-
let me know if you have any questions.
-
So, did you even get the day off with that dusting.
-
John in Charlottesville with just under a half a metre of snow :-)
-
that is insane amount of snow
-
We have 30 - I wonder how long we'll be down
-
-
Hi all! Missie from Falls Church, VA & really no idea how much snow - just know it's one more day not w/my students :-(
-
hey phil! Looking forward to modding!
-
fourth graders are the best tho! Welcome
-
-
I am back tomorrow and ready. Exhausted from snow play with my 4 kiddos. Need to go back to work for rest.
-
you and your Irish ways. How are you, my friend?
-
-
-
what snow? We got a dusting Fri. but the bigger issue was sleet. A good dusting on Sat. w/a few icy streets still!
-
tell me about it! was working overtime
-
MA guy, so I know the deal!
-
VA is beautiful, we camped there years ago. Love the smell of the trees and the sounds of the winding insects!
-
-
Always taking up a teachable moment :-)
-
sad to miss then! You can always do a GHO with them. I did today!
-
Get ready to fix things. Q1 is coming in one minute.
-
nothing but 70 degree temps down here in Texas. I'd take some snow. At least to make it feel like something other than summer
-
you can have some of my 30 inches
-
I agree! My 3 kiddos keep me rolling nonstop on snow days!
-
-
-
Oh we were hammered. The dig out has begun. https://t.co/4kAfC6gmII
-
-
what snow? We got a dusting Fri. but the bigger issue was sleet. A good dusting on Sat. w/a few icy streets still!
-
-
-
they still havent even cleared my complex parking lot!
-
David ITRT for Dept of Juvenile Justice. 20 inches of snow.
-
-
A1: I think it can feel VERY overwhelming at first. I participate b/c it's fun and I always learn something new.
-
-
A1 I've kinda stopped bc I really want TOOLS & practical ideas for class, not necessarily all the cheerleading
-
absolutely. Can be very fast paced!
-
A1 I join Twitter chats to learn new things, be inspired, & connect. Others may not join due to unknown/fear of speaking out
-
A1 Well, I this is my first twitter chat and I am in an EDS program and it was an assignment, so that's why I am participating.
-
that's what we're trying to fix here tonight. Good to see you auntie.
-
A1: Participate to learn but many don't because they don't understand the value or the real purpose behind chats.
-
No snow plow in sight. More time for me to connect with my PLN https://t.co/sPYMgNFgeQ
-
-
they still havent even cleared my complex parking lot!
-
A1: many chats move to fast. Not using a third party client to manage flow. Not ready to take risks and make their voice heard
-
interesting assignment. What are you hoping to get?
-
-
A1: It can be intimidating but hopefully after a but of lurking, they'll jump in!
-
A1: Sometimes Q's are phrased to seek one answer. Some Ts may also fear not being expert enough, or having unpop/old school opinion
-
A1- Bad timing, worry about "how to" chat, or afraid they won't sound knowledgeable.
-
-
A1: fear. People are afraid to be perceived as wrong. Especially educators. We hate asking for help. Never want to feel incompetent
-
A1: I'm going to second the client comment. I'd never be able to keep up w/o TweetDeck.
-
If I didn't have Tweetdeck there is no way I could participate fully.
-
A1: Twitter chats have a learning curve to master: pace, lingo, hashtags. Once you get in the swing, they are addicting!
-
Third party clients def help
-
....or fools seldom differ :-)
-
A1 Sometimes the Qs all sound the same! Ugh!
-
A1 It was difficult to figure out how to get connected at first
-
This. It's easy to get isolated in education. Chats can help keep us connected and open to new ideas. https://t.co/JMA6cwPtp4
-
-
A1 I join Twitter chats to learn new things, be inspired, & connect. Others may not join due to unknown/fear of speaking out
-
definitely timing is an issue
-
A1: B/c it's interesting and useful ideas are freely shared. B/c they have other stuff going on in the evenings.
-
-
In my position I hold T PD sessions so I always throw in the value of Twitter but they have to jump in.
-
A1: Just recently started to participate in twitter chats & I didn't start sooner due to feeling overwhelmed.
-
right - we want to avoid the echo chamber
-
A1: Twitter can also feel like something adults don't do.
-
A1: Constantly challenged to learn and expand.
-
Welcome to your first Twitter chat! We are happy to help you along!
-
A1: is relatively unknown unless you are a twitterer. I have shared this with tons of people and converted them to it!
-
how do we break this down?
-
A1: To connect/exchange ideas w/people they share a common interest with, to learn. Don't b/c twitter is public. Or they forget :(
-
-
A1 to find other passionate teachers ! And find what is going on with schools all around The world!
-
don't worry it can be overwhelming at first, but it can get addicting after the initial shock
-
A1. Many ppl don't understand the power & value. Intimidated by quick pace, amount of info.
-
-
Don't want to offend either.
-
A1 Many Ts are intimidated by the firehose stream of info on here
-
me either. It's absolutely essential.
-
well you got here now! How did you figure it out
-
It is intimidating at first but totally worth growing your .
-
-
-
for sure. Life saver for me in chats.
-
-
very hard to keep up - how do you manage
-
-
I agree! It took awhile to learn I could take focus on what was good for me and think about the rest later. https://t.co/W91WLuj7HU
-
-
A1 Many Ts are intimidated by the firehose stream of info on here
-
Voxer is a great way to connect!
-
A1: Afraid to answer things incorrectly/ not give enough info & also frequent forgetters of hashtags in responses LOL me today!
-
especially when the Qs are released
-
So true. Always makes sense to start out smaller (like )
-
A77 questions can be restrictive ... I join for side conversations ... A8 and sometimes i'm a rebel and don't put A1 by my answers
-
haha not gonna point fingers
-
. I love Tweetdeck. Makes it easy.
-
A1 sometimes The language.. Im francophone i quite understand english but sometimes its hard to express what i realy wanna say
-
True! I've learned to create a separate column for the moderator in a busy chat.
-
A1: Twitter chats helps build community & is real time P.D. Ppl stay away from the unknown or unfamiliar
-
-
I heard a lot about Voxer but really haven't used it yet.
-
looking like today might be a good day for that
-
interesting. Never thought of that
-
when everyone had the same answers it is difficult to stand out or disagree.
-
Q2 is coming in 1 minute.
-
A1: Most of us like to stay in our comfort zone. Twitter may be uncomfortable for some.
-
A1 Participate for the chance to network & learn new ideas. Not participate because we fear the response we may get to our thoughts
-
-
A1 I think there are different levels to participation. From lurking to moderator different engagements lead to different outcomes
-
What about our careers? We have seen what happens when a "negative" tweet goes viral..
-
A1 We've done Twitter sessions to encourage T's and P's to use it. Some think of it as one more form of SM to deal with.
-
If a tweet is tweeted, but not favorited or retweeted was it heard? It is ok you will survive ...
-
when I first started I was super nervous what I said wouldn't make sense. Got over that quick. Haha
-
exactly. Which do you prefer?
-
A1 chats can feel as if everyone is in the "know" like a neighborhood party & youR new neighbor - Imp to reach out to new members
-
right - needs to be about saying what you feel
-
-
Delete it quickly!!! hahaha
-
LOL, I am crazy. I usually use my phone!
-
I think you think before you Tweet. Most of the negative tweets were way over the top and usually about Ss.
-
Its great for slowing down the conversation and getting to know the people behind the handles
-
It's like a walkie talkie. U can leave audio, listen on your own time, or talk back &forth
-
Yes, the platform, esp. for education chats, is very English dominant.
-
I have tried that and get so frustrated I have to find my laptop.
-
best 24/7/365 PD around. How can we get more people on board? . Slow and steady grassroots method
-
A2: It means everyone is agreeing w/ each other. No one is willing to tackle a difficult subject (hard in 140 characters).
-
absolutely. About making connections
-
while some are inspired by the knowledge ... like an adrenaline rush ...
-
Some people are more interested than connecting than others - many just see Twitter as a bullhorn https://t.co/M9KQkj7dyl
-
-
Its great for slowing down the conversation and getting to know the people behind the handles
-
A2 More of the same. We don't need 15 chats on why it's important to become connected. Repeated topics.
-
A1: Educators want & need to connect to be inspired! Why don't they chat? Don't know or are afraid to put themselves out there!
-
how do we tackle tough subjects then
-
And I find my level of involvement can differ from chat to chat...and that is okay.
-
Like our Richmond friend??
-
how do we educate them about this?
-
But, we can make mistakes.
-
A2 Everyone saying the same thing, not much "meat"
-
A2: I think that's a misconception. Many ppl find twitter a safe place to learn and fail forward through discussions, blogs, & bks
-
-
Hey from Richmond! Sorry I'm late
-
A2: Repeated topics or no new learner that hasn't been heard or shared somewhere else.
-
A1: The quick pace is intimidating! Just when you're done typing - everyone else is 3 answers past! https://t.co/37Eyz21p0T
-
-
A1. Many ppl don't understand the power & value. Intimidated by quick pace, amount of info.
-
A2: I've only been on Twitter a year. I've seen this said a lot, but I am not there yet. If the ideas are good, that's what matters.
-
-
If the truth hurts it still needs to be said ... we may not always agree, but we can be professional
-
-
I think did a good job of it talking about arming Ts. Need devil's advocate. Be careful about judging.
-
I think did a good job of it talking about arming Ts. Need devil's advocate. Be careful about judging.
-
A2: Lots are full of fluff- "Here's what I do" or "___ is great!"-no detail, no nitty gritty. Ppl want to share victory-not struggle
-
BOOM! I mean really a family writer complaining about spending time with her family...
-
A2: I take this to mean regurgitating or saying something outside of reality. Speaking of the quintessential perfect classroom.
-
you owe us cookies then :) welcome!
-
I always get lost in the side conversations.
-
A2: And if I can add, it's darn tough to come up with chat topics that aren't repetitive and producing the same old stuff
-
We have to keep asking ppl what they want to learn more about. https://t.co/kzbUvfAoVs
-
-
best 24/7/365 PD around. How can we get more people on board? . Slow and steady grassroots method
-
However, with new Ts joining every day, they may miss it the first 14 times. Should we stop...or continue for them?
-
agreed. I missed that one, but I read after
-
I've gotten so many valuable ideas from my PLN. The beneficiaries are students. I'm not that creative but my PLN sure is!
-
It is all about the new learning that will help you grow as an individual.
-
A2: echo chambers.Everyone saying the same thing. Chats can & should be about pushing each other. Challenging thoughts,respectfully
-
You and are topic rock stars!
-
exactly the struggle im facing while moderating
-
A2: Some people tweet to impress or fit in, reluctant to disagree. Some chats can be redundant esp if no side convo
-
A2: I'm not sure that's true. It is hard to say much of substance in 140. But people also say stuff on twitter they'd never say f2f.
-
it is like jumping into the fast lane the first time ... just step on the gas and enjoy the ride.
-
John Bennett, Emeritus in CT tonight, arriving late.
-
A2: could it be also the design of the question and the topic? Poor topic, something that doesn't challenge us or our thinking.
-
A2: Also many chats recently have someone trying to sell a book- everything points to self-promotion
-
Comments are shared so quickly and many participants have the same comment
-
-
that's what chats like would be good for
-
A2- Same topics, same stuff. People staying in a comfort zone, and afraid to venture out.
-
A2 I want to leave a chat w TOOLS & ideas - not just being told how great it is that I'm "connected" lol
-
Yes!! No nitty gritty...Love that. https://t.co/zgFzRIKfs6
-
-
A2: Lots are full of fluff- "Here's what I do" or "___ is great!"-no detail, no nitty gritty. Ppl want to share victory-not struggle
-
we do have to be careful. I try to assume my boss may read anything I type.
-
is one of my 2 favs. Even still. I participate or lurk because I love your authentic mojo & amistad. A1
-
one difference between Irish/UK chats and US is they don't tend to have set questions-a topic title but conv moves around
-
A2 nothing but feel good, pat yourself/each other in the back chat. No meat to convo or growth happening.
-
exactly, they just keep talking and don't actually interact.
-
A2: Side convos & connections are often the most important parts of the chat.
-
that's def part of my "beef" with chats. Ts just need to be real. Failure, making mistakes, & being honest are ok.
-
Everyone saying the same thing. It can seem like no one wants to rock the boat or challenge one another. https://t.co/ORRPcN8O8R
-
-
A2: It means everyone is agreeing w/ each other. No one is willing to tackle a difficult subject (hard in 140 characters).
-
or it could be not having any background knowledge on the topic being discussed.
-
A2: One of the great things about twitter chats: If you don't like the topic, you don't have to participate
-
curious - whats the other?
-
Imagine Doug speaking up about something!
-
are you lost? or were you found? the side convos are the best ... commonalities are discovered ... friendships born
-
Sorry I'm late. Rebecca, elem principal. I lost track of time as I was losing to my kids at another snowed in family game night!
-
interesting. How does this affect the chat?
-
it does require regular attendees to step up to the mark & get conversation started
-
(1) I've done staff meetings now at a handful of schools (2) One teacher at a time, tell how beneficial
-
altho, that might be really important to some people....
-
side convo is where the learning happens.
-
no problem - glad you're here.
-
or just not comfortable with speaking your mind... A2
-
Talk is cheap! Do what you say you will do! Dont see a lot of Twitter folks truly living it -lot saying the same thing again & again
-
Chats have lead to books & blogging. Through blogs ppl have found their voice and passion. personalized PD https://t.co/gcYrm9fVS6
-
yes they are! It's like at a conference when the best convo come during transitioning, lunch etc.
-
A2: Just because you retweet doesn't mean you thought of it or internalized it.
-
A2. I think some of this can be avoided by the way q's are designed for a chat.
-
but does that make it right?
-
-
Doug probably has opinions on this but he just got home from work
-
It's tough to put yourself out there for the "world" to see...I've become better with it with age
-
A2b: Truth? Here b/c there are good ideas & like-minded Ts. I can find other more negative interactions IRL. I'm here to breathe.
-
Side convos are very vital to chats.
-
A2: It took me quite a few chats before I was comfortable sharing more than an "I agree".
-
very true - that's why I joined.
-
depends on how you define "helpful" - some Ts might need the affirmation they don't get at school...?
-
-
-
anything divergent discouraged. Not all authors do this. Thinking spec. of a few that talk circles around their text
-
A1 That is best - going in to understand & work w/other cultures to see how they work & help in their area! https://t.co/vZl2WRmQqn
-
-
A1 sometimes The language.. Im francophone i quite understand english but sometimes its hard to express what i realy wanna say
-
I just started , it's small, but some ppl really appreciate it. Should I stop b/c a few tweeps think so?
-
and offer up PD for Ts can learn the ins and outs. I'd argue more are ready but need a slight nudge with the tool.
-
The value for me has come from connecting with people I meet in the chats more than the chats themselves.
-
hmmm interesting. I wonder if I can think of them
-
A2: Echo Chamber = Everyone's ideas on repeat. I like the support & positivity but need to be pushed to grow.
-
I moderated a chat 4 a chronic illness and all were first timers for chats. I chose to respond to all tweets to welcome.
-
A2: How do you get people to drop the act and get real though in a no personal forum such as Twitter?
-
-
-
Me, too! I feel comfortable with putting out there anything I would say in person. Old age helps. :)
-
not at all. But the bigger chats should have a responsibility to have more real conversation
-
This topic is awesome! I am so glad that my very first chat is on the very topic itself
-
agreed, but if that is all you strive for your truly missing out on benefits of chats & being connected
-
-
A2: And when we think about it, some of the same answers keep coming up because much of education comes down to handful of things
-
ALL voices are valid. no 1 should feel intimidated by another. no mtter how many followers they have.
-
this is where I think forming connections is helpful
-
also just like packaged PD- when Q's are generated to create specific conversation to sell, not always authentic.
-
Yes. I have facilitated a district pd for school administrators. It was a hit, and has transcended learning. https://t.co/87IATIf9F3
-
-
and offer up PD for Ts can learn the ins and outs. I'd argue more are ready but need a slight nudge with the tool.
-
A3: I don't want everyone to agree with me. I want ppl to tell me I'm wrong and why. Make me think about what I do & why.
-
true! But not all chats are meaty... =)
-
Welcome Rebecca! I lost tonight at sight word bingo, lol.
-
right - we need to grow, not just pack on back
-
-
A3 We don't grow as individuals or as a profession.
-
Leslie, I have been working on a Soanish Ed chat. Will let you know if we get it going.
-
I've done chats that way-- just flowing convo-- they also are good, bc some get lost in the questions.
-
That is part of it for me too. I've never been good at selling myself. I'm trying to grow.
-
Very true statement https://t.co/ovUcRslQN5
-
-
A2: One of the great things about twitter chats: If you don't like the topic, you don't have to participate
-
exactly. This is come up in Q6 more
-
this so true! But we keep finding ways to complicate it!
-
HAHA love it!! Thank you!! =)
-
-
I've lost at Life, Monopoly, and now Price is Right.
-
that is the main problem of it though
-
A2 An echo chamber chat means the mod didn't write good questions and the participants aren't trying to break it.
-
exactly. Twitter gives voice to all
-
A3. When moderators try to fit in too many ?'s & don't allow enough time for responses & convo.
-
A3: Questions don't always ask for depth, partially bc platform makes it hard, only 140 characters, after all.
-
-
nice. Happy to hear. I've done some building and district training. Good momentum, but hoping for more.
-
Need my PLN to keep me from thinking crazy all by myself. I don't mind being crazy but I need my tribe! https://t.co/Hlf2ws7v2o
-
-
A2b: Truth? Here b/c there are good ideas & like-minded Ts. I can find other more negative interactions IRL. I'm here to breathe.
-
very true. THis is why I love expacting into side DMs and Voxer
-
A2 The best are chats about being different where everyone is saying the same thing
-
of course...but there has to be a balance
-
what would be an ideal number for you?
-
better late than never! Jenn here, 3rd grade T from DE
-
-
A3: as a moderator, I have at times gone with a fluffish topic instead of a harder hitting one becaus emore people tend to join in
-
A2/A3: Edchats can be repetitive, but sometimes we need the reassurance & reminders about what's best for kids!
-
AMEN! Ideas should be exchanged ... I like to push convos ... new ideas ... sometimes it gets me blocked?
-
I think it's going well tonight
-
I think that everyone should chat about what they want to chat about. Twitter is glorious b/c we are free to do so!
-
Relationships. Good teaching. Importance of equality.
-
-
A3 sometimes its going fast.. Some new followers need to know thats tools like tweetdeck for example can help
-
My friend and I lead & & we try to stick to 5 for the hour.
-
has always taken risks, wrestled with the uncomfortable & I appreciate that.
-
A3: some chat are too vague. Must be meaningful to the person. some great ones , , .
-
-
Que bien! Creo que seria bueno para los maestros afuera de los EEUU.
-
very true! We're free to choose which we want
-
-
A3. 140 characters isn't always enough. Also just like email emotions or words are misunderstood.
-
Yes, it is absolutely about finding your tribe. Don't have one where you are? Get one on Twitter! Simple!
-
Twitter ... where the crazy, envelope pushing, can do educators hang out ... no one says "can't" here.
-
Sometimes being challenged causes me to think through my thoughts more deeply. Sometimes I do get upset tho but still reflect.
-
I enjoy when others comment or question what is written either by myself or others. I think this helps us dig deeper.
-
what are some problems with twitter chats? why are they problems?
-
A4: I feel the speed and the constant refreshing keeps Ts from participating. No Chance to really absorb and reflect
-
Amen for tweetdeck. I had a hard time following chats until I found tweetdeck.
-
that's how growth is formed
-
I have gotten tons of ideas from my PLN.
-
Hey Jennifer, thanks for joining us...Spent a year in Bridgeville at a now defunct school
-
A3: I struggle w/times of Twitter chats - right smack during bedtime or family time. I feel bad dropping out of chats
-
important to remember reflection is on the way
-
It goes a lot faster than I was expecting
-
that's a good perspective to have. We preach being constant learners. We need to practice that, too.
-
A3: I can reach out to ppl in my PLN through DM, they have shared advice over the phone Thx & so many more.
-
A3: Feeling afraid to ask a question when the chat is talking about something you don't know anything about
-
A3: My biggest issue- and one I may do a on is the fact that we don't get credit for the independent were doing.
-
hadn't considered that, I don't want the conversation to lag and usually prepare more than needed.
-
A3: It can get confusing to follow, with side convos, some people on Q1, others on Q3.
-
This also helps build relationships as these are the people that I tend to talk to outside of the chat.
-
-
Let the kids stay up later! Priorities ....HaHa
-
true story. This is an hour of PD we are working on
-
I used to teach in Bridgeville! Now Lewes
-
A3: Doesn't exactly answer the ? but the way is posting the ?s solves a problem. I can can scroll down &see it easily.
-
I think it just takes some getting use to. I know I will participate in more, I like this so far
-
it is a challenge at times!
-
Completely agree. 4-5 good deep questions with a lot of conversation. Trust your group and your Qs.
-
that's one thing I struggle with too. Don't want to see incompetent in a chat about the topic
-
A3: As self motivated learners we have to convince districts to support our learning. Diff Learning works for kids but not adults?
-
A3: I love learning about new resources!
-
Enough with problems. Q4 is about solutions. Coming up in 1 minute.
-
We can in Albemarle County Thanks
-
We try to stick to 5 really good ones & maybe have one extra just in case. We do abt 10 min per ? & it works well.
-
i'll be honest ... i get annoyed by some Eds who only share blogpost but never join in convos.
-
-
It is is but I look at it as learning, rather than getting credit for learning. S/t I try to teach Ss.
-
I know, but we notice...I notice.
-
first time tuning in! Kindergarten teacher from Suffolk!
-
A3: Hard to fit all the chats in that I would like due to timing sometimes. Family/Bedtime during my fav chats.
-
-
Hi, Amy from Front Royal. ITRT in Fairfax Co. Sorry I am so late! First time here!
-
is now trending in USA, ranking 47
-
Chats that encourage us to talk about what is happening in our buildings help me think of ideas or things differently.
-
-
what if their blog is the way they join convo?
-
I agree. I like for moderator to interact & push thinking (Like )
-
-
