    Is twitter the best place to share ideas? If so, why is it not your school/department? #ASEChat

    Twitter is a good place to share. I used to share via email at school and yet sporadically do share at school #asechat

    informally - most days as we all meet at lunchtime and talk. Staff freq seek advice from others too and we share a lot. #ASEchat

    #asechat @hrogerson Twitter good but face2face better so school and department first place. Need good shared space & time to share expertise

    While Twitter and #ASEChat are good ways to share ideas, even better is that it builds networks you can meet IRL at #ASEConf & teachmeets
  • rbegum2013 Feb 13 @ 3:05 PM EST
    yes i do that but find new staff not as much any ideas how to get them more talking and sharing #ASEChat

    informally a lot. Formally-a weekly T & L idea on intranet page for staff.Also mini-insets often to share between dpts. #ASEChat

    How do you make sure twitter sharing is evidence based and not just opinion/the loudest voice/the current 'fad'? #ASEChat

    #asechat Surprised so many teachers use twitter, but what hashtags do you use for science?
  • ViciaScience Feb 13 @ 3:13 PM EST
    I would go beyond twitter and suggest other 'social media' such as blogs need careful evaluation #ASEChat #nopeerreview

    #asechat @ViciaScience @MaryUYSEG All online fora #asechat @pedagoo etc all quickly lead to demand for face2face and added dimension.

  • ViciaScience Feb 13 @ 3:15 PM EST
    For some teachers twitter, teach meets, blog and occasional conference is a great set of tools tokeep up with external developments #ASEChat

    We have free online resources for schools, including Sciberbrain => https://t.co/aZApqhn3Jy #asechat #ScienceEducation
  • ashl3ylaw Feb 13 @ 3:15 PM EST
    #asechat also use paired collaborative observations in department which rotate each term.
  • hrogerson Feb 13 @ 3:15 PM EST
    I feel that there is a real danger of this. #asechat

  • ViciaScience Feb 13 @ 3:16 PM EST
    why rotate every term? Depends on structure of dept, but pairings could be most successful? #ASEChat

    Does the sharing of practice have any impact? What is the last change you made that 'stuck'? #asechat

    Wold you create a google drive account for the dept for this purpose? #ASEChat

    I use this one #asechat and #physics. I loved to have more science teaching ones
    In reply to @stormeducation
  • hrogerson Feb 13 @ 3:18 PM EST
    I do feel that although there are those of us who enjoy external CPD, you should be able to learn what you need to in school. #asechat
  • stuartphysics Feb 13 @ 3:18 PM EST
    I have recorded a show for @edutalkr on professional learning, PLC, teacher collaboration, see https://t.co/IpigjQGGC0 due 21 Feb #asechat

  • hrogerson Feb 13 @ 3:19 PM EST
    It isn't easy to make changes to your own practice without access to resources that do what you are trying to. IMHO #asechat
  • NgeeOg Feb 13 @ 3:19 PM EST
    Do paired drop in session with a focus. Pairs discuss and share good practices found All #ASEChat
  • MarcNeesam Feb 13 @ 3:19 PM EST
    When a teacher shares but you think 'that doesn't sound like great practice' how do u challenge? Not just the sharing but talking #ASEChat
  • Mr_Misquitta Feb 13 @ 3:19 PM EST
    I normally use teaching ideas from twitter any long term changes need to be evidence based #asechat
    In reply to @hrogerson
  • Newmanphysics Feb 13 @ 3:19 PM EST
    #asechat Long may it continue, bet it is all outside of school time and on the excellence of the individuals?
    In reply to @aegilopoides, @JonScott46
  • ViciaScience Feb 13 @ 3:19 PM EST
    I would agree in 'dynamic' schools, but much more risky in 'stagnant' departments #ASEChat
    In reply to @hrogerson
  • hrogerson Feb 13 @ 3:20 PM EST
    This is true. Having twitter to get access directly to the information on the current changes has been invaluable. #asechat
    • MaryUYSEG Feb 13 @ 3:01 PM EST
      it’s good to get ideas from others outside school, otherwise it can become sterile. #ASEChat
      In reply to @hrogerson
  • ashl3ylaw Feb 13 @ 3:20 PM EST
    might focus on a particular yeargroup so may depend on who teaches which groups. Discuss then at dept meeting #ASEChat
    In reply to @ViciaScience
  • Mr_Misquitta Feb 13 @ 3:20 PM EST
    That is a great idea and I should try and make this happen at school :) #asechat

    Agreed. Everything is context dependent - there is no single answer to success #ASEChat
    In reply to @ashl3ylaw
  • hrogerson Feb 13 @ 3:21 PM EST
    up to SLT to challenge and provide the opportunities. Surely everyone wants to get better, just need the climate? #asechat

    I think school culture can be such a minefield when sharing practice. Some people can be held up so much that it sidelines others? #asechat
