@mr_isaacs @edtechjam @Flocabulary I need to get back on the words with friends tip.. been awhile since i've played #edtechbridge

TaliaArbit May 11 @ 7:04 PM EDT

Maybe we should have an impromptu #CoffeeEduNJ :) #edtechbridge

edtechjam May 11 @ 7:05 PM EDT

Excellent word choice. I’m a fan of “dilly dally” (although I guess that’s two words?). #edtechbridge https://t.co/Pq0oFHRGRu

kristawelz May 11 @ 7:05 PM EDT

@katyamuses Krista from North Bergen, NJ. I'm a Media Specialist. Favorite word is "lollygag" LOL #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:06 PM EDT

Actually in honor of today's chat we should all be playing words with friends, right? @edtechjam and there's an EDU version! #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:07 PM EDT

Q1. What kind of #edtech is best for teaching/learning ELA and vocabulary? #edtechbridge https://t.co/nH3plBo4ex

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:09 PM EDT

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:09 PM EDT

A1. I played with the Forest Flyer app today with a kindergartener and thought it would be a fun one for finding new words #edtechbridge

Aussieleigh2 May 11 @ 7:10 PM EDT

A1 Hi #edtechbridge Lynne from W Oz...love @wonderopolis for exposing Ss to new words

TaliaArbit May 11 @ 7:10 PM EDT

A1 It's imp. for #EdTech #ELA tools to go beyond mere memorization of a word's definition, focusing on the word's application #edtechbridge

edtechjam May 11 @ 7:11 PM EDT

Yup - context is key. Which is why I remember so few of those SAT words. -_- #edtechbridge https://t.co/z02kzKeCIU

@edtechjam, exactly. Or why I'm afraid to use those long, fancy vocabulary words in sentences #edtechbridge

kristawelz May 11 @ 7:13 PM EDT

@AlexVKluge @mr_isaacs @edtechjam I've played this game! Your friends can really see the dark side of you in this game! Ha! #edtechbridge

edtechjam May 11 @ 7:13 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs @AlexVKluge Umm… we gotta change that. I’ve seen @BookofMormon with @iwearthecrowns, we can play CaH. :) #edtechbridge

MGrundel May 11 @ 7:13 PM EDT

I have used @BlackRocketLLC #theGRiD to create spelling and vocabulary games. #edtechbridge https://t.co/y8K7uaWDRy

alexstubenbort May 11 @ 7:14 PM EDT

A1: Using @aurasma to augment S vocabulary sheets brings words (and a Ss connection w words) alive! #edtechbridge

edtechjam May 11 @ 7:15 PM EDT

A1 @Flocabulary has 10 levels of vocab videos, makes it easy for Ts to differentiate and assess. And those songs! So catchy :) #edtechbridge

MCollinsELA May 11 @ 7:15 PM EDT

A1- Simple, but my students use Google to look up Greek/Latin roots- good for recognizing patterns in language. #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:17 PM EDT

A2: Games, especially those rich in narrative definitely help with ELA regardless of what class they are used in (or not) :) #edtechbridge

minnie0672 May 11 @ 7:17 PM EDT

A2 - I observed a teacher using QR codes for vocabulary - students scan the QR code and it brings the student to more info #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:17 PM EDT

@iwearthecrowns @mr_isaacs Hello, Love :) #edtechbridge

AlexVKluge May 11 @ 7:17 PM EDT

TaliaArbit May 11 @ 7:20 PM EDT

@meloniewallace, can you expand on that? It's a great point! #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:21 PM EDT

Q3. What #edtech tools/programs are good for learning/practicing vocabulary? Why? #edtechbridge https://t.co/8L4JO6FqLX

dominic_pirrone May 11 @ 7:21 PM EDT

A2 tech allows lrng to continue. Ss curiosity peaks w/what interests them. Provide those tools for any sub & lrng will happen #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:22 PM EDT

A3. I'm also curious to hear what apps you use for vocab even outside of the classroom . . . #edtechbridge

edtechjam May 11 @ 7:22 PM EDT

A3 Y’all know I gotta give a shoutout to @Flocabulary! Engaging educational hip-hop videos w/ assessments+activities to boot. #edtechbridge

LoringandSmith May 11 @ 7:22 PM EDT

A2- my ELL Ss use their Chromebooks all the time,constantly searching for what they don't know it supports their learning. #edtechbridge

@edtechjam @mr_isaacs Yeah, but she's a heck of a lot cuter!!! #edtechbridge

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:23 PM EDT

A3: The tech would need to have voice-over for robust vocabulary, or done with a parent/older sibling/advanced peer. #edtechbridge

MrPChick May 11 @ 7:23 PM EDT

A3 some of our Ts and Ss are using gflash+ app on ipad for vocab #edtechbridge

edtechjam May 11 @ 7:24 PM EDT

A3 I’ve heard positive things about SpellingCity from some of my teacher friends, too. #edtechbridge

@minnie0672 only thing I don't like about Quizlet is that Ss Google answers to assignments & many are listed on Quizlet. #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:28 PM EDT

Q4. What should language tool/app creators know about how ELA/vocabulary is taught in schools? #edtechbridge https://t.co/8wnlNE3KK6

TaliaArbit May 11 @ 7:28 PM EDT

@kristawelz @minnie0672, good point. And I felt their games were too focused on memorization vs. comprehension + application #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:28 PM EDT

Q4 in the house! #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:29 PM EDT

A4. Vocab isn't just taught as word lists, spelling tests, etc. It's more effective when taught in context #edtechbridge

dominic_pirrone May 11 @ 7:29 PM EDT

@kristawelz @minnie0672 ss always seem to know how to find the answers. I've seen programs to solve some pretty adv math probs #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:29 PM EDT

Is @newsela with us tonight - great topic for them :) #edtechbridge

mzgrz May 11 @ 7:29 PM EDT

A4 vocabulary is taught within subjects so it needs to be cross curricular #edtechbridge

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:30 PM EDT

@katyamuses Yes, in context, and better yet in dialog. #edtechbridge

nathan_stevens May 11 @ 7:30 PM EDT

@katyamuses A4 that students like to move and dance. Put vocabulary to a rhythm. Or just ad Lego figures #edtechbridge

kristawelz May 11 @ 7:30 PM EDT

@katyamuses A4: There aren't as many #CommonCore ELA websites or apps out there. Ts struggle to find them. #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:30 PM EDT

@katyamuses That's why I wish I read more - what a great way to learn vocabulary - luckily I get my story in narrative games #edtechbridge

nathan_stevens May 11 @ 7:31 PM EDT

@katyamuses A4 anything with jelly beans is automatically fun including vocab #edtechbridge @edtechjam

alexstubenbort May 11 @ 7:31 PM EDT

A4That writing and reading are no longer seen as separate entities;and creation and publication should be to a global audience #edtechbridge

kristawelz May 11 @ 7:31 PM EDT

@TaliaArbit @minnie0672 again, it's not #CommonCore friendly. Many schools are on Common Core. Need more websites & apps. #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:31 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens @katyamuses @edtechjam put your vocabulary on your jellybeans - taste much better than flash cards! #edtechbridge

edtechjam May 11 @ 7:32 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens We have a large jar of jelly beans in the Flocab office. ^_^ #edtechbridge

TechieTcher May 11 @ 7:32 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs @Newsela has become my favorite in the past month. Daily topics already in the news at Ss reason level? Yes please! #edtechbridge

dominic_pirrone May 11 @ 7:32 PM EDT

A4 vocab is not just about memorization. Please please develop ways to make using in context fun & interactive. #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:32 PM EDT

@edtechjam @nathan_stevens now you tell us :) Do you see this @leilaboo215 ? #edtechbridge

TaliaArbit May 11 @ 7:32 PM EDT

A4: The more #edtech tools move beyond mere definitions to the real 'what' and 'why' of the word, the better. #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:32 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens @edtechjam truer words were never spoken #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:33 PM EDT

@dominic_pirrone I have an answer - GAMES! but only if it's done in authentic way - we don't need games that teach vocabulary #edtechbridge

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:33 PM EDT

@TaliaArbit 100% right! #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:33 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens @edtechjam Will we be seeing you at #ISTE16 ? #edtechbridge

@kristawelz @minnie0672, true. And #edtech is moving away from #CCSS bc of all the controversy. But Ts still need resources! #edtechbridge

nathan_stevens May 11 @ 7:33 PM EDT

minnie0672 May 11 @ 7:34 PM EDT

A4 - I really think they need to be connected to #ccss so that teachers feel more free to use the tools #edtechbridge

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:34 PM EDT

@dominic_pirrone Yes! Real games. #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:34 PM EDT

@DennisDill Images help and animations/movies help too! #edtechbridge

dominic_pirrone May 11 @ 7:35 PM EDT

@minnie0672 @kristawelz exactly, smart searching. Love when ss navigate and find appropriate sources #edtechbridge

nathan_stevens May 11 @ 7:35 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs @edtechjam if o can figure out this funding problem that I have. I am presenting 5 times #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:35 PM EDT

Q5. How can #edtech tools assess vocab understanding? Which tools do you use for vocab assessment? #edtechbridge https://t.co/i7o1gDxPsC

minnie0672 May 11 @ 7:35 PM EDT

With the new ESSA technology is built in - I think we will see more tech used - or at least I hope so! #edtechbridge https://t.co/t76aqnujkk

TaliaArbit May 11 @ 7:33 PM EDT

@kristawelz @minnie0672, true. And #edtech is moving away from #CCSS bc of all the controversy. But Ts still need resources! #edtechbridge

MCollinsELA May 11 @ 7:35 PM EDT

A4: Language is relative. Word meanings can change bc of context. Learning relationships b/w words can help Ss learn meaning #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:35 PM EDT

@nathan_stevens @mr_isaacs @edtechjam Wow! #GetNathantoISTE16 #edtechbridge

jrochelle - Moderator May 11 @ 7:35 PM EDT

@TaliaArbit @kristawelz @minnie0672 Is there real data to say "EdTech is moving away from #CCSS" ? #edtechbridge

edtechjam May 11 @ 7:35 PM EDT

Great perspective. #edtechbridge https://t.co/eHIdoUjGyD

minnie0672 May 11 @ 7:34 PM EDT

A4 - I really think they need to be connected to #ccss so that teachers feel more free to use the tools #edtechbridge

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:35 PM EDT

My daughter has to suffer through a boring vocabulary worksheet workbook. Zzzzzz....just matches with barely any cognition. #edtechbridge

Q5. How can #edtech tools assess vocab understanding? Which tools do you use for vocab assessment? #edtechbridge https://t.co/i7o1gDxPsC

minnie0672 May 11 @ 7:36 PM EDT

A5 - I'm not in the classroom right now but I've seen Ts use several tools - a fun low tech tool is @plickers #edtechbridge

nathan_stevens May 11 @ 7:37 PM EDT

@katyamuses A5 allows more personalization to the learning process. Also makes it a game #edtechbridge

kristawelz May 11 @ 7:37 PM EDT

@minnie0672 yes! #CCSS wouldn't be so intimidating if there were more online tools to help Ts access complex units and vocab. #edtechbridge

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:37 PM EDT

@katyamuses Yes, images they can relate to, within their experience. #edtechbridge

alexstubenbort May 11 @ 7:37 PM EDT

A4: A Ss ability to merely wrote doesn't cut it. Creation of digital content means graphics, embedded video,etc. New basics! #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:37 PM EDT

A5. Student choice! Ss can choose vocabulary from many contexts and collect words they want to learn/practice #edtechbridge

minnie0672 May 11 @ 7:37 PM EDT

@jrochelle @TaliaArbit @kristawelz I haven't seen it if there is - would be interesting to research #edtechbridge

TaliaArbit May 11 @ 7:37 PM EDT

@jrochelle @kristawelz @minnie0672, this is based on what I've observed and heard from the #EdTech companies I know/worked w/ #Edtechbridge

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:38 PM EDT

@alexstubenbort That's a great answer. #edtechbridge

kristawelz May 11 @ 7:38 PM EDT

@TaliaArbit very interesting. This would be an excellent research study. #edtechbridge

MGrundel May 11 @ 7:38 PM EDT

DennisDill May 11 @ 7:39 PM EDT

@katyamuses a link to more information or a link to a map ... #edtechbridge ... make it interactive

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:39 PM EDT

A5: Assessment should be PFL, stop with the matching! #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:39 PM EDT

@jrochelle @TaliaArbit @kristawelz @minnie0672 Is it ok for me to say that I don't think that's a bad thing? #edtechbridge

sdanisha May 11 @ 7:39 PM EDT

A5: Allow a student to explain their understanding in natural language to a AI bot. Which will then assess the learning. #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:39 PM EDT

@MGrundel @BlackRocketLLC Is their gamemaking tool proprietary or do they use 3d party products? #edtechbridge

edtechjam May 11 @ 7:39 PM EDT

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:41 PM EDT

Matching? :( #edtechbridge

dominic_pirrone May 11 @ 7:41 PM EDT

A5 always have ss write across the curric. Using #gafe tools to collab, share, edit & group while using new vocab in context. #edtechbridge

nathan_stevens May 11 @ 7:41 PM EDT

@edtechjam Jam Out #edtechbridge

cvarsalona May 11 @ 7:41 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs @katyamuses @edtechjam No I am not someone else (LOL) #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:42 PM EDT

Q6. How can #edtech help educators differentiate teaching vocabulary? #edtechbridge https://t.co/vAsgv5vtId

jrochelle - Moderator May 11 @ 7:42 PM EDT

@TaliaArbit @kristawelz @minnie0672 Interesting and somewhat sad. The tests spoiled the value in my view. #edtechbridge

cvarsalona May 11 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@alexstubenbort @noredink @Newsela is great. Who is familiar with @Wonderopolis? Great free site for reading, vocabulary... #edtechbridge

MrPChick May 11 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@sdanisha forgive my ignorance, but is this tech already available? #edtechbridge

summer_2012baby May 11 @ 7:43 PM EDT

vocab is not just memorization! There needs to be fun and interactive ways to learn vocab in context. #edtechbridge

kristawelz May 11 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@jrochelle @mr_isaacs most of the content Ts access to enforce CommonCore is found online now. But need more digital tools. #edtechbridge

cvarsalona May 11 @ 7:43 PM EDT

@TaliaArbit Absolutely. Students need to use the new voc to make it stick. #edtechbridge A1

summer_2012baby May 11 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@WiseDad_Games Yes! I love this, sometimes the most learning happens when you don't even know it is happening #edtechbridge

cvarsalona May 11 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@summer_2012baby ENLs learn voc through pictures, visual interpretation, use. #edtechbridge

sdanisha May 11 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@MrPChick No but I'm working on laying the foundation for it. Looking to work with others to make it a reality. #edtechbridge

minnie0672 May 11 @ 7:44 PM EDT

A6 - So many ways - use of multiple choice, word banks, cloze strategies - #edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:45 PM EDT

@summer_2012baby @WiseDad_Games I love the term 'stealth learning' #stealthlearning #edtechbridge

nathan_stevens May 11 @ 7:45 PM EDT

@jrochelle @TaliaArbit @kristawelz @minnie0672 bad implementations spoiled ir in my view #edtechbridge

MrPChick May 11 @ 7:45 PM EDT

@sdanisha amazing! I look forward to it. Best of luck! #edtechbridge

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:46 PM EDT

Q6: Apps can use voice-over to differentiate text to allow weaker readers to have the same vocabulary exposure. #edtechbridge

nathan_stevens May 11 @ 7:46 PM EDT

@katyamuses A6 there are so many ways to learn vocab, can personalize easily #edtechbridge

dominic_pirrone May 11 @ 7:46 PM EDT

A6 okay s's. Use the clues in the following gif to define the meaning of the word: applause #edtechbridge #edtech https://t.co/TSuj6oqaNn

kristawelz May 11 @ 7:46 PM EDT

@katyamuses @Newsela is fabulous at differentiating. Visit my #PARCC ELA resources here: https://t.co/U07kgyYchQ #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:46 PM EDT

@WiseDad_Games Yep. Multiple modalities will help many learners #edtechbridge

MsDrasby May 11 @ 7:46 PM EDT

@kristawelz @jrochelle @mr_isaacs Isn't the tools that is needed or the PD on how to use the tools one has? #edtechbridge

summer_2012baby May 11 @ 7:46 PM EDT

A4: vocab is not just memorization! There needs to be fun and interactive ways to learn vocab in context. #edtechbridge

TaliaArbit May 11 @ 7:48 PM EDT

@jrochelle @kristawelz @minnie0672, agreed. The tests shifted the conversation entirely and spurred insurmountable negativity #Edtechbridge

mr_isaacs - Moderator May 11 @ 7:48 PM EDT

agreed! #edtechbridge https://t.co/JL39HBM4ei

summer_2012baby May 11 @ 7:46 PM EDT

A4: vocab is not just memorization! There needs to be fun and interactive ways to learn vocab in context. #edtechbridge

MsDrasby May 11 @ 7:48 PM EDT

@kristawelz @jrochelle @mr_isaacs Why is it proponents of CCSS is always connected to the "Tests"? EDTech isn't about tests #Edtechbridge

mzgrz May 11 @ 7:48 PM EDT

Or find a gif that demonstrates the meaning of the word applause. #edtechbridge https://t.co/18EnBitIhL

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:49 PM EDT

Q7. What is missing from ELA / vocabulary tools? What would be on your wish list? #edtechbridge https://t.co/1OvJNLpNiK

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:49 PM EDT

Themes: vocab in context is key, memorization/matching is no bueno, vocab practice is found in tech/apps not meant for vocab #edtechbridge

kristawelz May 11 @ 7:49 PM EDT

@MsDrasby @jrochelle @mr_isaacs because when most of us hear Common Core, we think of PARCC. #edtechbridge

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:51 PM EDT

Has anyone had administrative support to expunge their vocabulary workbook and replaced it with project and good tech?? #edtechbridge

cvarsalona May 11 @ 7:51 PM EDT

#edtechbridge Thank you for the conversation.

@WiseDad_Games Are vocab workbooks required? #edtechbridge

minnie0672 May 11 @ 7:52 PM EDT

A7 - More than just matching - using words in sentences, cloze strategies, close reading to name a few #edtechbridge

sdanisha May 11 @ 7:53 PM EDT

A7: Tool where TV Shows, Movies, Youtube, Music vid are index'd where Ts & Ss can search for examples & see usage in context #edtechbridge

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:53 PM EDT

@katyamuses They are in my district. #edtechbridge

MsDrasby May 11 @ 7:53 PM EDT

@kristawelz @jrochelle @mr_isaacs Association is sad and #EDtech shouldn't be taught to meet the testing standards #edtechbridge

mzgrz May 11 @ 7:53 PM EDT

@WiseDad_Games we don't have vocab workbooks but also don't have A replacement we get to choose #edtechbridge

TaliaArbit May 11 @ 7:53 PM EDT

@minnie0672 @dominic_pirrone, agreed! So engaging but also shows Ss the real-world application of the word! #edtechbridge

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:53 PM EDT

@mr_isaacs Thank you. :) #edtechbridge

TaliaArbit May 11 @ 7:54 PM EDT

@WiseDad_Games @katyamuses, those things are the WORST. What a way to turn kids off to the joy of learning new words! #edtechbridge

cvarsalona May 11 @ 7:54 PM EDT

@WiseDad_Games I encourage active use of vocab as opposed to skill/drill of voc bks that doesn't have lasting effects. #edtechbridge

katyamuses May 11 @ 7:54 PM EDT

@WiseDad_Games What would you replace the vocab workbook with? #edtechbridge

WiseDad_Games May 11 @ 7:55 PM EDT

@katyamuses Active learning: projects, cooperative group activities, digital game-based learning. #edtechbridge
