A2: Anti-growth mindset, test tunnel vision are the from the dark side!
A2: the other Evil Masterminds in Education - Fear, Lack of Courage, Ego, Uncertainty, Doubt, and blind traditionalism at times.
We attacked the villains by focusing on our Ss needs. We eliminated 64 paid textbooks for next year.

A2: book publisher companies, test standards, etc.
Evil villain mix of "we've always done it this way" standing next to a photocopier.
a2: for me, apple. high priced devices with poor to no management. walled garden.
I think it definitely serves a purpose there. Can we co-exist with GPA & Portfolios?
Q3: In what ways have you connected with other educators in order to create your "Super" team? https://t.co/8cIyxEQwin
or just portfolios GPAs can follow testing
Not much more evil than that. We need to look forward and outside the box.

Wife's from Grand Rapids & gave keynote there so I'm partial
Thanks Terry. Very proud to be part of this group. They helped me grow not only my PLN, but my edtech abilities
Thanks . Time for me to shuffle off. I appreciate the conversation.
a5: public shaming works for me
A5 looks like the sword method is working fine to me
A5: Ask questions, find their currency, develop a relationship, model a lesson. Sometimes it has to happen organically.
A5 personalize what you want to do to them. Same way you would do it with students
Got to love the snarky answers to Q5 -
A5: Start by listening to their WHY. Find ways to encourage them to move beyond their blockade. If no growth mindset - PLANK!
A5: this is a challenge. People have a hard time with criticism, yet at the same time, one person can really sink the ship.
A5 electro-shock therapy works wonders
Looking to Individual Learning Plans for Ts. Help support them in what they need.
I've found snark is the (not so) secret ingredient in !
Then my secret super power fits in nicely.
yes! But the problem with snark is it's hard to keep it secret! 😬
A5: ask questions, collaborate with them, tutor and help get them on board and swim to shore https://t.co/LmIVUZUWrA
Agreed. That 1 person running around starting fires on a wood ship needs their matches taken away.
A5 - In all seriousness...I tend to over use the "Yes,And" approach to get people on board in a positive direction.
LOVING the Memes and Gifs tonight too!
Heard great analogy of dad who swam kids out to isle He'd let them go 1/2 way there as they got to be better swimmers
I'm afraid & I would be strung up by our toes if some of our were recorded.
oh he's not name dropping, he's face dropping! Bam! is my hero!
We probably need to issue a snark badge to participants I'm sure could create 'em
would it be appropriate for him to create & win & wear them?!
Not like we'd have a choice. He's probably already doing that.
you missed at where I handed patrol badges
you folks are two years late
Actually...one of the best ways to get people together and happy is to feed them. Sugar helps. https://t.co/ZnPrJEPUra
A6: Weebly, OneNote, Lino.it, Today's Meet are my go to's for collaboration.
A6: When we need collaboration, I turn to Ts to help lead sessions & move to facilitator. Me standing in front doesn't help
A6: Twitter, GAFE, food, free stuff.
I have a new idea for a school activity the next time I come down
A6: Non-tech - Love doing to get people working together. Marshmallow Challenge is 1 of my faves for collaboration

A6: Starting to see the power of for asynchronous teamwork. Also, GDoc Edit/Suggest/View/Comment https://t.co/wPY23SbLwB
A6: The Google Form train took a life of its own at our school. Always getting feedback so we can work together/smarter

a6: took a couple years, but google forms are finally taking off. still see some emails that should be a form...but someday
