A5- Just like w/ students, the expectation must be modeled. Provide the tools, resources, pd and empower the teacher.
A5 help them get started then share what you have been doing with them so they can use it as well
A5: Show them how simple it can be. It's worth any extra effort and even makes some things way easier. Plus the kids love it.
A5: Would you like it if a doctor today used the same techniques to operate on you as they did 100 years ago? It's about technique
A4: we have had teachers make short videos about both the tech and the WHY of using it. Yep, put in the smore
A5. YET. You are not a tech person yet. We should be lead learners. Model, coach, support.
Great point! https://t.co/jWhq8vuzyR

A5-Keep encouraging, keep facilitating, keep helping by showing your own examples of technology integrated into lessons/activities
A5 Sly ? Because the answer is we can’t! We have to be the models. If we aren’t willing all will pass us by!
Another great point -- YET ! https://t.co/mCWti6NXA5
A5. YET. You are not a tech person yet. We should be lead learners. Model, coach, support.
A5 I would say focus is everything. Choose one or two tools a year, and rock them until you're a master
A5: Baby steps can turn into unexpected leaps! It has for me!
A5 "I'm not either, so let's learn together" or "Let's walk through this together and hopefully fig. it out"
If we aren't there for the kids and meeting their needs, then why are we there? https://t.co/dHm1XBcDyS
Would anyone say it is not about you it is about the kids and how they learn? Just asking?
Encouragement is the name of the game! As is modeling.
A5: as it says in How can we ask kids to show up and learn everyday if we are not willing to?
Yes!! So very true. I don't know it all but I'm willing to try. https://t.co/9SeKIgecwd
A5 Model! I'm not an expert, I'm a risk taker.
A5: SAMR. If only substituting it's easy to say you don't need it. Tech matters when you do things you couldn't do without it.
I like that! https://t.co/zKOpmMzzYo

Not - controls the jeans passes - haha
I am very intimidated by technology, but I just ask my team to help me and show me and then I feel more comfortable.
A5: Focus on one thing at a time. Sometimes the kids can help teach us things we have never heard of.
Last question coming up soon!
A5 I'm the one that says those words so I just love to hear the words "I can help you", which always happens at Woodstone.
Um, NO! :) https://t.co/SJlKtRWjK5

A5 I was definitely one of those people, but having the encouragement from colleagues made me feel ready to try.
Sio you've just been playing us all this time??
- just hired at twitter high !
A5: I would say "let me show you!" Our students are worth it, and so is their engagement level. https://t.co/stLxMozbOE
Q5: How do you respond to an individual who says - I am not a tech person & can't integrate those tools?
A5 Spotlight Ts praise them for their efforts for the kids. We choose a "Tweet of the Week" spotlighting greatness in classrooms.
It's complicated only until it gets simple. https://t.co/N5ufgYcZCp
A5: Show them how simple it can be. It's worth any extra effort and even makes some things way easier. Plus the kids love it.
Q6: How can we leverage the power of Social Media and this group to truly transform our schools?
I really like that idea Carol!

A good reminder to start small. Find value and build a foundation. https://t.co/pGuCkdEbz2
A5 Remind them of growth mindset and encourage them. I'm doing that with Baby steps!
A5: Lets work together and achieve greatness for our students. Small baby steps are better than no steps at all.
A5: Continue to learn new things and incorporate them in class. Baby steps! Show kids what you learn and encourage them to use.
A6: Keep doing it! Don't let them momentum stop. Share topics and ideas for future chats. Message Tood or I.
A6 by learning from one another and incorporating new ideas into our classrooms
Great point. Sharing ideas and the value of a well planned lesson. https://t.co/wXsPJo5W9p
A5 help them get started then share what you have been doing with them so they can use it as well
A6: We all have seen the video of the guy dancing at the concert & soon everyone is dancing. That is us! Keep the dance going!
A6 Ts share their classroom stories on Twitter and parents love it. We retweet to grow the audience.
Great analogy! https://t.co/0I8ZBSwZKS
A5: Would you like it if a doctor today used the same techniques to operate on you as they did 100 years ago? It's about technique
A5 - take baby steps; you must try one new thing; expand your horizons; get support from others
A6: collaborate and plan with others outside the four walls of our home campus

Told you! https://t.co/jpYDAS0hoU
A6:Keep talking about it and encourage everyone to join. I've loved following this the past several months and joining in was fun!
When everyone is dancing, suddenly, no one is. They are all now doing the same thing that just feels natural.
A6 Learning from each other, taking little steps, not trying to do everything all at once.
A6: It's already happening... I'm an T and learned so much from our joint chat a few weeks ago, I had to pop in tonight.
Sometimes you just have to be willing to jump in. You never know until you TRY. Great point! https://t.co/AoTr9LCQdY
A5 "I'm not either, so let's learn together" or "Let's walk through this together and hopefully fig. it out"
I would love to have all of you attend my on 10/29 at Bradley MS
A6 I think we take advantage of the times we have to give an "elevator speech" about the power of social media and PD.
Yes! Why do we do what we do? We can't forget this. https://t.co/GGL6vFaiGX
If we aren't there for the kids and meeting their needs, then why are we there? https://t.co/dHm1XBcDyS
Would anyone say it is not about you it is about the kids and how they learn? Just asking?
Why use sticky notes for a parking lot at meetings when you have twitter to back channel?
A6- Effective pre and post conferences could be a great opportunities to promote resources such as this.
Walk the walk and show value! Lead by example. https://t.co/U82rStQ8XY
Encouragement is the name of the game! As is modeling.

I would love to have all of you attend my on 10/29 at Bradley MS
A6 encourage other educators to join in. making me want to blog...just a nervous to put myself out there.
Edcamps are like face to face twitter chats! Very positive and very productive!
A6: We "make time" for things we value. Some choose Real Housewives, NFL, etc. "Make time" for social media as it helps all.
A6: Kept hearing "I read it on Twitter" when I asked where her great ideas came from. Had to try. She was right!
Great point! Purposeful use of technology to more than possible before. https://t.co/uaEE4pfs9e
A5: SAMR. If only substituting it's easy to say you don't need it. Tech matters when you do things you couldn't do without it.
