  • JennFisk Jan 7 @ 10:09 PM EST

    I like this. #NVedchat
    In reply to @BDicksonNV
  • JennFisk Jan 7 @ 10:10 PM EST

    I’m Tammy and I teach Kindergarten. I’m excited about all of the possibilities this new 2019 year can bring, especially with technology thanks to some @DonorsChoose projects that were funded! #NVedchat

  • Battecm Jan 7 @ 10:11 PM EST
    A1: Would like to hear others educators talk about that new website https://t.co/clafbzILVO and talk about his attempt to blog and advice to make those blogs better and ideas for new blogs #NVedchat
  • SJteaches Jan 7 @ 10:11 PM EST
    A1: is love to chat about improving and supporting the health and wellness of our teachers and staff. Both physical & mental. #nvedchat
  • LCHS_Bio Jan 7 @ 10:11 PM EST
    KC has no defense. Our defense is better than most that KC has seen. And of course KC IS 0-4 all time against the @Colts in the payoffs. #NVedchat
    In reply to @Snehalstocks, @LCHSBears, @Colts, @Chiefs, @Colts
  • BDicksonNV Jan 7 @ 10:12 PM EST
    I have no real idea of what those topics could be ;) but love the idea of a little controversy #nvedchat
    In reply to @LCHS_Bio
  • LCHS_Bio Jan 7 @ 10:12 PM EST
    A1: How about grant writing ideas and places to get funding for any “side” projects we want to do. #nvedchat
  • JennFisk Jan 7 @ 10:12 PM EST
    Could get quite interesting. I’m in!! #NVedchat
    In reply to @BDicksonNV, @NevadaEdChat
  • MaggieJCox Jan 7 @ 10:12 PM EST

    In reply to @JennFisk, @MaggieJCox
  • Battecm Jan 7 @ 10:13 PM EST
    I am creating a PD about embracing failure and the importance of it in education. Failure is sometimes looked at as a worse word than that other F word. That would be a fun topic #NVedchat
    In reply to @BDicksonNV
  • thedullguy Jan 7 @ 10:13 PM EST
    R1: We just did "advice to our high school selves" at a @valpohs411 PD. Maybe flip that on it's head: our high school selves give us advice that we can use in the present day. Classroom-related or not. #NVedchat
  • NevadaEdChat - Moderator Jan 7 @ 10:13 PM EST
    Q2-What is a "classroom" topic you would like for us to chat about that is different, unique, or not talked about much at all? #NVedchat
  • BDicksonNV Jan 7 @ 10:13 PM EST
    love the idea of addressing the mental health of ourselves and our colleagues- we work in a stressful environment & this is a topic that seems to be overlooked #nvedchat
    In reply to @SJteaches
  • LCHS_Bio Jan 7 @ 10:14 PM EST
    Hot button issues like evolution taught in school. Protecting DACA students. LBGTQ rights. There are a couple. #NVedchat

    A2 what are the merits of testing? this seems to be a regularly vilified topic in the edutwitterverse but there can be positives #nvedchat

  • JennFisk Jan 7 @ 10:15 PM EST
    A2: How to reach “that” kid or fun quick mini lessons? I’m reaching here. First day back is kinda hard to dive in deep and think. #NVedchat
  • LCHS_Bio Jan 7 @ 10:15 PM EST
    A2: ideas for recreating schools. Developing community schools partnerships. Branding of schools. #nvedchat
  • BDicksonNV Jan 7 @ 10:16 PM EST
    Yes! we reward success with grades & promotions but often ignore that failures are where the learning happens #nvedchat
    In reply to @Battecm
  • tammyjill825 Jan 7 @ 10:16 PM EST
    A2: A classroom topic that can help new and veteran teachers would be engagement tips for specific subjects such as Math or sight words. I think it’s good to switch things up and try diff things that work for others. #NVedchat
    In reply to @NevadaEdChat
  • thedullguy Jan 7 @ 10:17 PM EST
    Awesome. The #INeLearn chat just organized their regular Thursday night sesh around a series of tweet-ups statewide. The IRL component lit a fire under an already powerhouse chat. #NVEdChat
    In reply to @itchcompsci, @NevadaEdChat
  • Battecm Jan 7 @ 10:17 PM EST

  • SJteaches Jan 7 @ 10:17 PM EST
    A2: Id love to hear how other educators address “whole child” learning— arts, humanities, as well as core subjects. #nvedchat
  • Snehalstocks - Moderator Jan 7 @ 10:18 PM EST
    I'm happy to meet up with anyone and chat Google Suite + Starbucks! #NVedchat
    In reply to @Battecm
  • BDicksonNV Jan 7 @ 10:19 PM EST
    A2 lets start talking about creating math instruction that looks like ELA instruction-small groups, independent Math work, fluency practice, foundational skills #nvedchat
    In reply to @NevadaEdChat
  • NevadaEdChat - Moderator Jan 7 @ 10:19 PM EST
    Q3-What is an educator/admin professional development topic that you would like for us to tackle in a future chat? #NVedchat

    I guess I’m out then.... #NVedchat
    In reply to @Snehalstocks, @Battecm
  • BDicksonNV Jan 7 @ 10:20 PM EST
    A3 having hard conversations in a way that keeps relationships enacted but doesn't gloss over issues that need to be addressed #nvedchat
    In reply to @NevadaEdChat
  • BDicksonNV Jan 7 @ 10:21 PM EST
    YES! I am super stoked for that idea! I spent weeks on a google form for walk throughs for my teachers & I'd love to know some easier ways #nvedchat
    In reply to @Battecm, @Snehalstocks
  • LCHS_Bio Jan 7 @ 10:21 PM EST
    A3: data analysis. We have all this data from formative and summative assessments, but (being realistic) few know HOW to use the information to make substantial change in the classroom with this stuff. #nvedchat
  • itchcompsci Jan 7 @ 10:21 PM EST
    A2-Community Partners who can come into our classrooms or can virtually speak to our students about topics applicable to our students/lessons. #NVedchat
    In reply to @NevadaEdChat
  • MaggieJCox Jan 7 @ 10:22 PM EST
    A2 I have been more & more intrigued by video & #YouTube content, & how we can reach our students would love to see @The1Shipp lead a chat & share some of her research #NVEdChat
    • NevadaEdChat - Moderator Jan 7 @ 10:13 PM EST
      Q2-What is a "classroom" topic you would like for us to chat about that is different, unique, or not talked about much at all? #NVedchat
  • SJteaches Jan 7 @ 10:22 PM EST
    A3: defining scaling “teacher leadership”. Building and supporting a more diverse career ladder. #nvedchat
  • thedullguy Jan 7 @ 10:22 PM EST
    R3: Dveloping teacher-leaders in a building - Ts bringing their confeeence presos to monthly faculty meetings. Kick-starting #ObserveMe in a building. How to organize IRL PLCs in a building. #NVEdChat
  • JennFisk Jan 7 @ 10:23 PM EST
    A3: Starting a professional learning community, or even how to be a leader at your school without being an admin. #NVedchat
    In reply to @NevadaEdChat
  • BDicksonNV Jan 7 @ 10:23 PM EST
    great idea-how can we use Youtube to engage our students & get them creating rather than just consuming #nvedchat
    In reply to @MaggieJCox, @The1Shipp
  • NevadaEdChat - Moderator Jan 7 @ 10:24 PM EST
    Final Question! Q4-What non-education, fun, or interesting topic would you like to learn more about? #NVedchat
  • LCHS_Bio Jan 7 @ 10:24 PM EST
    R3: mentoring of teachers. This can be teachers who are new to profession or veterans needing a spark. #nvedchat
  • thedullguy Jan 7 @ 10:24 PM EST
    Right? So many teachers present at conferences, what if they were given a platform to share their learning in their own building. #NVEdChat
    In reply to @MaggieJCox, @The1Shipp
  • BDicksonNV Jan 7 @ 10:25 PM EST
    A4 true confession time! we all have a pretty good idea of each other in a profession light but lets get personal...just a little maybe #nvedchat
  • tammyjill825 Jan 7 @ 10:26 PM EST
    A3: I would like to see who has ideas whether it is Donors Choose for PD or some other way to attend these high priced https://t.co/XJdUeFezjb school has been lucky enough to go to 1-2 days at SDE. I would love to go to the SD one or attend the full week at the Venetian #NVEDCHAT
    In reply to @NevadaEdChat
  • BDicksonNV Jan 7 @ 10:27 PM EST
    Agreed! I would love to see a way to get teachers in the North meeting face to face with teachers in the South #bettertogether #nvedchat
    In reply to @tammyjill825, @NevadaEdChat
  • MaggieJCox Jan 7 @ 10:27 PM EST
    A3 I have enjoyed @GotCoreValues that my school was using last few years to build values & improve culture. It’s been nice to have admin & teachers talking through tough topics together. Maybe they would moderate with suggestions #NVedchat
    In reply to @NevadaEdChat, @GotCoreValues
  • Battecm Jan 7 @ 10:27 PM EST
    I am teaching a community partnership class starting next week! Or check out this really cool article chrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/https://t.co/IyzbCY9zYF on page 52-55 #NVedchat
    In reply to @itchcompsci, @NevadaEdChat
  • SJteaches Jan 7 @ 10:27 PM EST
    A4: it would be nice to meet educators as their out of classroom selves. Maybe a chat where we share hobbies, projects, family, adventures, etc?#nvedchat
  • thedullguy Jan 7 @ 10:27 PM EST
    Well, that was a powerhouse chat. Get a bunch of smart teachers in one place. Let them brainstorm, and blow the roof off. Thanks for having me, #NVEdChat. Have an awesome week & we'll chat again soon.
  • LCHS_Bio Jan 7 @ 10:28 PM EST

    Everyone have a good week! #nvedchat

    #truth data overload is too real-what is good data & what can we ignore or at least not spend so much time trying to analyze-what is data that equals true student growth #nvedchat

  • thedullguy Jan 7 @ 10:30 PM EST
    I swear my typo rate triples when I try to do an educhat on my phone. Sorry, #NVEdChat, brain's faster than my fingers sometimes.
  • BDicksonNV Jan 7 @ 10:31 PM EST
    Thanks so much #nvedchat peeps #teachNVchat will be back on the 20th & we'd love to get some crossover with #nvedchat
  • thedullguy Jan 7 @ 10:33 PM EST
    For real. That's a piece of our evaluation rubric, but I agree that very few teachers have been taught to analyze data and use that knowledge to adjust instruction. #NVEdChat
    In reply to @LCHS_Bio
  • LCHS_Bio Jan 7 @ 10:40 PM EST
    Data is a big piece on the RISE eval/whatever Indiana schools are calling it today. #NVedchat
