| MyTakeOnIt | Welcome to tonight’s #BYOTchat! The topic: “Using 21st Century Tools to Strengthen 21st Century Skills” |
| MyTakeOnIt | Who’s joining us tonight? #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | RT @MyTakeOnIt: Tonight’s #BYOTchat starts in just a few minutes: “Using 21st Century Tools to Strengthen 21st Century Skills” #edtech #edchat |
| SrtaLisa | #BYOTchat I’ll be joining in 10 minutes |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt I am around #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @nathan_stevens Hi Nathan! #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | #byotchat not gonna lie, finishing the video game episode of community. 21st century skill = timeshifting |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jdferries Hahaha! #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MyTakeOnIt How does everyone define 21st Century Skills? #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt I guess the first ? Is what do you consider a 21st cent tool? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | I think my favorite 21st century tools are those that allow for easy collaboration across short and long distances #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | We’re going to be discussing the 4 Cs of 21st Century Skills for #BYOTchat over the next 4 weeks. http://t.co/8wuIGs9C First, Collaboration! |
| PaulElevenXXI | @MyTakeOnIt I might (not all the time) #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @jdferries The Video Game episode? Which one was that? #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @jdferries I thought it was called multi-tasking!  #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @PaulElevenXXI Great! I hope to see you on #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt a 21st tool is something that a stud can use in school and is transferable to the real world #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @nathan_stevens Is that different from a 20th century or 19th century tool? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @nathan_stevens I think it’s a great question, but I’m really struggling to define “21st century tool” #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt I think the 21st tool has more of a global use #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @BYOTNetwork in the 21st century, we need to teach how to choose when to multifunction & when not to. #presentinthemoment #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | I noticed that #isedchat is discussing use of wikipedia in the classroomÑthat’s an awesome 21st century collaborative tool! #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @mytakeonit @nathan_stevens It’s kind of a nebulous concept but something along the lines of digital, social, internet-enable tech #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jdferries @BYOTNetwork Yes! My of my favorite things to teach students is how to use the OFF BOTTON on tech!! #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | #isedchat and #byotchat are talking the same thing. #worldscolliding |
| lcarroll94 | @MyTakeOnIt we are also discussing strenthening and assessing 21st C skills! #isedchat #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | Teaching 21 cent. skills with tools of 20th cent. is as much effective as asking teachers 2 stop copying worksheets using copier. #byotchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @nathan_stevens @mytakeonit and more techy and convenient #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | so lets go meta. 21st century skills are those that allow us to function (or function better) in the world that is changing… #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @jdferries @BYOTNetwork You read “The Flight from Conversation” in NYTimes? #BYOTchat http://t.co/97J3ECoP |
| MyTakeOnIt | @PaulElevenXXI @nathan_stevens You both are on a similar path: Something that can be used equally in class and out #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | knowing when to TURN OFF the tech. identifying reliable sources of information, finding and strengthening friendships #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @jdferries Totally agree! I’m having difficulty now with powering down. BYOT actually encourages those discussions in context. #BYOTchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @MyTakeOnIt Wikipedia is not 100% correct, not even 90%. It has more data but less accurate than other encyclopedia websites. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jdferries I think we’re getting closer with that. #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | Another 21C skill is figuring out which tool best fits the task. With more #BYOT that choice is left to the student. #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @paulelevenxxi @MyTakeOnIt AFAIK wikipedia is pretty accurate – they did a study comparing to EncBrit and found less errors #BYOTchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @MyTakeOnIt @paulelevenxxi @nathan_stevens yes, there isnt a device that can only be used in classroom and as effective as other. #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | If most teachers are shaped in 20th century, are they able to teach skills of 21 century? How do we “update” teachers? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @PaulElevenXXI But Wikipedia still has value: 1. A great place to start when LOOKing for info. 2. A great place to SHARE info #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JamesDiGioia @paulelevenxxi Oooh, I’d LOVE to see that study. Let me know if you find a link! #BYOTchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @JamesDiGioia @paulelevenxxi @mytakeonit that was my research in October, it is outdated but it was once less accurate. #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt @nathan_stevens I think it is.”Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time” #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MyTakeOnIt @paulelevenxxi So it sounds like collaboration via the tool of a wiki to me. #BYOTchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @MyTakeOnIt @paulelevenxxi yes, our conclusion of wikipedia was that we need multiple resources to compare data. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @ZinkEd_u @nathan_stevens Right, but isn’t a pencil a tool that can (and could) be used equally in and out of class? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @PaulElevenXXI Most wikipedia articlesÑespecially GOOD onesÑsite multiple sources. #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt but the pencil leads to accessibility problems #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @mytakeonit @PaulElevenXXI #BYOTchat http://t.co/gWT7S3V2 This is the Nature study I remember – from 2005 tho. |
| jdferries | @PaulElevenXXI cross reference data and not presuming authority based on name or look is an excellent 21st century skill #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt Anything available to kids today at home or school, from pencil to iPads. Difference is the variety of today is huge. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u That’s a great question (sorry to jump in late – coming from daughter’s chorus concert). Depends: do they want 2 update? #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Hi Everyone – I believe that these 4C’s are critical for today’s students because of the global work environment. #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | We are going districtwide with several collaborative tools next year – @voicethread @edublogs @wikispaces @edmodo #BYOTchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | @BYOTNetwork @jdferries Should we encourage tech free moments in the day? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @ZinkEd_u THERE we go: 21st century tools are inclusive of all tools from the start of history to the present! #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @jdferries @PaulElevenXXI Wikipedia is a good starting point but need to think critically bout info #BYOTchat esp w lots of sources |
| trescolumnae | @MyTakeOnIt @PaulElevenXXI A couple of thoughts: 1) nothing is 100% accurate 2) there was that study of rel accuracy W vs Brit #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | yes RT @MissDSciTeacher: @BYOTNetwork @jdferries Should we encourage tech free moments in the day? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @MissDSciTeacher: @BYOTNetwork @jdferries Should we encourage tech free moments in the day? #BYOTchat ABSOLUTELY!! |
| trescolumnae | @jdferries @PaulElevenXXI Yes, definitely! And that’s another great use of Wikipedia (with or without factual errors in articles) #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @trescolumnae @PaulElevenXXI Yup, @JamesDiGioia Just shared the link: http://t.co/fnxgzJew #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | Not the tool but how it’s used. Can make pencil a 21st c tool with right activity or make a tablet a 19th c tool w/ poor activity. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @MissDSciTeacher im more obnoxious. teach kids when to be presentinthemoment & choose to unplugged. show qualitative difference. #byotchat |
| SrtaLisa | @MissDSciTeacher yes, there is value in tech free moments, lets the students interact face to face #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MissDSciTeacher @jdferries Good question! I think you should use the tech if it is a natural outcome of the work. How about you? #BYOTchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | @SteveHayes_RB60 Absolutely! Global work environment is constantly changing – constantly changing tech models adapting to change?? #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @40ishoracle i think we can retire whip braiding outside of a few specific uses. I would be ready to give up cursive writing too. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | via @JamesDiGioia Study from Nature showing similar accuracy btwn Wikipedia & Encyc Brit: http://t.co/fnxgzJew #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @MyTakeOnIt @MissDSciTeacher @BYOTNetwork @jdferries Yes – when tech-free is best, most appropriate choice. Key: thoughtfulness #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt absolutely. Kids need to be able to choose a right tool for a task. Don’t use tech for the sake of using it. #BYOTchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @jdferries correct, but a lot of students are just using Wikipedia and copy paste to do their homework. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | Clearly a key 21st C skill is knowing what tool to use, when to use it, and when to NOT #BYOTchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | RT @SrtaLisa: @MissDSciTeacher yes, there is value in tech free moments, lets the students interact face to face #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | FWIW, one of the points made in “Flight from Convo” is that “tech free moments” don’t really address the lack of conversation #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | “group work” in a non-BYOT school is limited and not a true representation of today’s world – collaboration w/ BYOT is real world #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @jdferries @40ishoracle Do you two just crack each other up all day? Is it part of your 21st century collaboration? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @40ishoracle Right: That’s the difference between the tool and the skill #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u @MyTakeOnIt And my fear is that so many tchrs say “use this tool” not “choose a good tool” – I’m guilty of that too #byotchat |
| jdferries | @40ishoracle oooh. #19thcentryipadskills — i am sensing a meme. #byotchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | RT @MyTakeOnIt: Clearly a key 21st C skill is knowing what tool to use, when to use it, and when to NOT #BYOTchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | @MyTakeOnIt I think you have nailed it there! It is all about choosing the right tool for the job! (An old idea really!) #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @MyTakeOnIt @PaulElevenXXI Thanks @JamesDiGioia for the link – hoped someone had it handy. In some ways W is peer rvw on steroids #byotchat |
| SrtaLisa | @MyTakeOnIt addition: what tool to use, when to use it, how to use effectively, and when NOT #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | RT @MyTakeOnIt: Clearly a key 21st C skill is knowing what tool to use, when to use it, and when to NOT #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @theASIDEblog its against #BYOTchat. have to pick my poison. #isedchat |
| trescolumnae | @PaulElevenXXI @jdferries Which says a lot about the quality of those homework assignments, doesn’t it?  #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Teachers shouldn’t assume that since a student owns technology, they are productive with it. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @trescolumnae @ZinkEd_u I think “Try this tool” would be better instruction: Introduce tools & options & model the process #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @jdferries: @40ishoracle oooh. #19thcentryipadskills — i am sensing a meme. #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @trescolumnae @PaulElevenXXI @jdferries +1!! If you can copy + paste, and hand in, the assignment doesn’t require thinking #BYOTchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @trescolumnae @jdferries yes, there is a meme for that, the ones who created that seemed to be proud of it. #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 I also see that teachers that collaborate before BYOT are more able to adapt to using BYOT effectively. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @MyTakeOnIt Teachers modeling use of the tool – very important #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @BYOTNetwork Oh no @jdferries- He’s on to us. Yes, this is pretty much our day. Unless one of us is acting like a stressed admin #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jdferries @40ishoracle So #19thcentryipadskills would have us use iPad battery to start a fire? #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @PaulElevenXXI have you read my 1st #flipclass diary? on research skill teaching in a new paradigm. not just wikis getting copied #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MissDSciTeacher It’s all about instruction. I’ve seen molasses classes with tech. on & transformational lessons with tech off. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @MyTakeOnIt @ZinkEd_u Yes – agree completely. Or, depending on the students, “Here’s an interesting tool – figure it out” #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @trescolumnae I agree because I can’t pick out a time of day that should be tech free. But I can think of moments. #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | READ: Is actually working  RT @40ishoracle: … Unless one of us is acting like a stressed admin #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MissDSciTeacher Right? 21st C skills just add new toolsÉ and new tools. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @MyTakeOnIt i was picturing the trace the cursive letter app. the duck calls for hunting app #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @JamesDiGioia @PaulElevenXXI @jdferries Exactly! But my colleague Ms X is incensed: sts are “cheating!” because … (1/2) #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @40ishoracle Agree. It’s all about instruction, not a tool! I often reffer to BYOT as bring your own teacher! #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | So can we argue that a tool NEW to the 21st C allows better collaboration & communication across great distance? #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @JamesDiGioia @PaulElevenXXI @jdferries (2/2) they downloaded the answer key to the worksheet! From the Internet!! Bad them!!! #byotchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | @SteveHayes_RB60 Many students with new tech often don’t know how to use it effectively for work. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 And students shouldn’t assume that because a teacher uses a tool THEY are modeling how to use it best #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @BYOTNetwork Yes – and those moments are part of the ebb and flow of interaction among st, tchr, and subject #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | Ok class, use your device to hold down your papers down … It’s time for state testing! #19thcentryipadskills #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @trescolumnae @ZinkEd_u Love those three words: “Figure it out.” OIr two words: “Try it.” #BYOTchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | @SteveHayes_RB60 With BYOT students need to COLLABORATE so that they learn from other students (with same tech) tips/tricks #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @mytakeonit @SteveHayes_RB60 That’s a hard mindset to change – sts are used to looking up to teachers, rather than working w them #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @40ishoracle: Ok class, use your device to hold down your papers down … Its time for state testing! #19thcentryipadskills #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @SteveHayes_RB60 Such a great point! Sts have a “pervasive tech” mindset, but that doesn’t = skillful/proficient/productive #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @MissDSciTeacher: With BYOT students need to COLLABORATE so that they learn from other students (with same tech) tips/tricks #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @MyTakeOnIt @SteveHayes_RB60 Excellent point! Always room to learn from each other #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @BYOTNetwork @jdferries if you can’t find joy in your day… It’s time for another job! #BYOTchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @jdferries I’m just saying that a lot of students do that. #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @trescolumnae I think it is that collaboration within the context of the BYOT tools that helps to build the learning community. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @MyTakeOnIt @ZinkEd_u Yes, those two words are great, too. #byotchat |
| jdferries | @trescolumnae weve been doing a lot of talk abt how #digcit skills require new ways of assessment & pedagogy. letting go is a part #byotchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @JamesDiGioia @trescolumnae @jdferries thus the students learn nothing from whatever class they’re taking. #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | RT @40ishoracle: @BYOTNetwork @jdferries if you can’t find joy in your day… It’s time for another job! #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @jdferries Parent asked me if BYOT kills penmanship skills. I said we’ll stop typing soon- too many tools with voice recognition! #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @40ishoracle AGREE – If you don’t love your job – you shouldn’t be teaching! #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @JamesDiGioia @mytakeonit @SteveHayes_RB60 And tchrs are used to thinking of sts as products/customers, not collaborators #byotchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | @MyTakeOnIt Valid argument. 21st century difference is the ability to learn across a distance from a greater range of people #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @ZinkEd_u We all have to converge on a conference together. What a mindtrust! #BYOTchat …or we could just start a charter school |
| BYOTNetwork | @MissDSciTeacher @trescolumnae But what if I need to use the app on my device to calculate calories? Or share an idea? Or… #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MissDSciTeacher Right? 21st C skills just add new toolsÉ and new SKILLS. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @BYOTNetwork Yes – collaboration around tools (not tools as end in themselves) DOES help to build community #byotchat |
| jdferries | @trescolumnae my recent trending theme has been that #dignative does not equal #digcit. they have to be guided to develop skills #byotchat |
| SrtaLisa | @trescolumnae I’ve always thought of them as collaborators – in the past it was just on hw and sneekily, now it is in the open #BYOTchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | RT @ZinkEd_u: @40ishoracle Agree. It’s all about instruction, not a tool! I often reffer to BYOT as bring your own teacher! #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @trescolumnae @MyTakeOnIt @SteveHayes_RB60 It’s kind of a social problem too – the need to learn from > work with experts #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @BYOTNetwork @jdferries @40ishoracle LOVE the #21stcenturyipadskills meme on #BYOTchat!!!! |
| jdferries | @trescolumnae to be fair, when our evals are based on student scores, were no longer asked to see them as ppl, just number mkrs #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @40ishoracle YES!!! #BYOTchat #21stcenturyipadskills |
| JamesDiGioia | @trescolumnae @MyTakeOnIt @SteveHayes_RB60 At the same time, it becomes harder to recognize “experts” #BYOTchat collab even more necessary |
| trescolumnae | @jdferries Agree!! #dignative is mindset, #digcit is skillset. I’m a “car native” but my grandfather, b 1906, was better driver #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @trescolumnae that’s why tchrs must state learning goals of a task, not the tools. Does it matter what tools kids use to present? #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @jdferries Good point! Sad, but true #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | collaboration AKA working together is a skill that is separate from technology, we need to teach collaboration w/ today’s tools #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Ò@JohnWink90: @cdsmeaton @tchmathcult Collaboration must be the active ingredient to autonomy to benefit all kids. #atplcÓ #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @JamesDiGioia @MyTakeOnIt @SteveHayes_RB60 Good point – “expert” vs “novice” shifts depending on the specific task #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @40ishoracle @ZinkEd_u Love the idea of converging on a conference! ONE school isn’t enough!! #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @SteveHayes_RB60 like all good set dscrptns, there are elements. identifying others’ strengths, discrete task setting, negotiation #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u Excellent point! And yet for so many tchrs (not just re tech), it’s all about “follow these steps.” Need 2 chg mindset #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @trescolumnae @MyTakeOnIt @SteveHayes_RB60 And being able to recognize that shift is a 21C skill #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I’m in! RT @MyTakeOnIt: @40ishoracle @ZinkEd_u Love the idea of converging on a conference! ONE school isnt enough!! #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | I think I like the term “Progessive Education” better than 21st Century. It implies something more cumulative. #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt @trescolumnae so true. Teaching them about the variety is our responsibility as tchrs, specially in elementary. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | who’s going to ISTE? i say we take over a place and drink to @40ishoracle ‘s health! #byotchat (student followers: geeks drink redbull) |
| M_chirinos | RT @ZinkEd_u: @40ishoracle Agree. It’s all about instruction, not a tool! I often reffer to BYOT as bring your own teacher! #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | +1 RT @stevehayes_rb60: I’m in! @MyTakeOnIt: Love the idea of converging on a conference! ONE school isnt enough!! #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @MyTakeOnIt @byotnetwork @jdferries From the 12 yo…Use glass on tablet to reflect sunlight…morse code #20thcentryipadskills #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @ZinkEd_u How did your BYOT Parent Night go tonight? #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @JamesDiGioia @MyTakeOnIt @SteveHayes_RB60 Yes, definintely – and that brings us back to early point abt 20th c tchrs, right? #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | .@jdferries You say this b/c I am in Wisconsin that week w/ Jesuits! Maybe FETC? #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u @MyTakeOnIt Most definitely! And for secondary tchrs, I think it’s impt to have sts discover & show us new tools #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @JamesDiGioia The 21st Century Tools like Skype can give stdnts greater access to experts. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @trescolumnae @JamesDiGioia @SteveHayes_RB60 SoÉ a 21st C Teacher is not afraid to pick up a new tool and attemp to use it #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @BYOTNetwork @ZinkEd_u I’d love more details on your Parent Night. School wants to try that instead of traditional BTSN next fall #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt @SteveHayes_RB60 yea! That’s the 20 century believe! #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @BYOTNetwork @JamesDiGioia Not just EXPERTS: Skype can give you access to OTHERS #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | Nice @MyTakeOnIt: I think I like the term “Progessive Education” better than 21st Century. It implies something more cumulative. #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @MyTakeOnIt @trescolumnae @JamesDiGioia @SteveHayes_RB60 a 21st C teacher also not afraid to defer to the wisdom of students #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Agree! RT @SrtaLisa: @MyTakeOnIt @trescolumnae @JamesDiGioia a 21st C teacher also not afraid to defer to the wisdom of students #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | This convo begs the question: “What are we preparing our students for?” #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | final projects due: 3 students working w/ another to make her project better. overcoming limitations and changing parameters #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | RT @MyTakeOnIt: This convo begs the question: “What are we preparing our students for?” #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt @trescolumnae they = C#1 of the 21 century skills- critical thinking. I love “here’s an idea. Now make it happen” #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @mytakeonit I think part of the problem is how much teaching is “disembodied knowledge” – esp in math #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @MyTakeOnIt @JamesDiGioia @SteveHayes_RB60 Right – b/c a 21st c tchr (or learner) doesn’t have to be perfectly right all the time #byotchat |
| jdferries | @MyTakeOnIt isnt this where someone quotes “for jobs that dont exist using skills unheard of?” — #21stcenturycliche #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @SrtaLisa @MyTakeOnIt @JamesDiGioia @SteveHayes_RB60 Most definitely! A 21st c tchr is eager to learn from sts #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @40ishoracle I’m in! #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u @MyTakeOnIt Yes – so true! Love that too. My Latin IV sts are doing an “impossible” task this week for that reason #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jdferries This is often that place, yes. #BYOTchat Always falls flat though, doesn’t it? #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @jdferries @jamesdigioia He’ll be on beach w/ @eecastro. While I will be discerning the use of tech in future of Jesuit education #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | Looks like there is a lot of talk here on #BYOTchat of a #BYOTcon |
| BYOTNetwork | @trescolumnae @srtalisa @mytakeonit @jamesdigioia @stevehayes_rb60 And alongside students. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @MyTakeOnIt @jdferries Oh, and don’t forget “in situations we can’t even imagine.” Cue the inspiring music #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @zinked_u @40ishoracle #BYOTchat Charter Network? Has a nice ring to it… |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I vote for a BYOTchat summer conference in Chicago – great food, drinks and baseball! #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @MyTakeOnIt its too abstract. only appeals through implied fear. better to say that the future is here and X is what has changed #byotchat |
| SrtaLisa | @MyTakeOnIt Prepare sts to “identify your limitations – then ignore them” David Shenk #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jdferries Well, if we teach our students how to learn: How to take a calculated risk, attempt, fail, & how to try againÉ #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @MyTakeOnIt Totally envision #BYOTcon … All we need is a student to design a killer logo #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @BYOTNetwork @srtalisa @mytakeonit @jamesdigioia @stevehayes_rb60 Yes, definitely alongside as well as from #byotchat |
| jdferries | @MyTakeOnIt i love the idea of calculated risk and failure recovery as skills to be taught. thank goodness for the apple newton #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @40ishoracle @SteveHayes_RB60 I think #BYOTcon may already exist in #EdCamp modelÉ #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork it was full of positive energy! Kids were amazing. They impressed many not-so-sure parents. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @jdferries The Apple Newton epitomizes #19thcenturyipadskills!!!! #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | Congrats. @ZinkEd_u: @BYOTNetwork it was full of positive energy! Kids were amazing. They impressed many not-so-sure parents. #BYOTchat |
