| MyTakeOnIt | RT @neene: Glad I remember #byotchat will be hosted in a few minutes |
| MyTakeOnIt | I was getting sucked into this BYOD video: http://t.co/qHZ5ytJu but it’s probably time to start tonight’s #BYOTchat, huh? |
| MyTakeOnIt | Who’s here for tonight’s #BYOTchat: Revisiting the importance of PD in a BYOT program. http://t.co/ySaglUzX |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @MyTakeOnIt  #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 Hi Steve! #Byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Welcome to #BYOTchat – Tonight back, by popular demand! Professional Development & BYOT #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @MyTakeOnIt Ready to talk about PD #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | lets talk some PD #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | So what does PD look like for BYOT? #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @BYOTNetwork You’re lookin’ at it, Tim! #BYOTchat |
| neene | PD from those who understand concept of #byotchat -Essential. Recently was @ conference. Presenter/vendor 4 wireless called it distractions. |
| ZinkEd_u | First, mind shift and then learning with devices, very hands on. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @BYOTNetwork Twitter is excellent free always available & often just-in-time PD & #BYOTchat is a great place for BYOT |
| nathan_stevens | @BYOTNetwork byot PD takes something teachers alreadyknow and add technology to it #BYOTchat |
| JanetLDee | @MyTakeOnIt Ready to talk about PD in #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | Does PD focus on devices, tools, good teaching practice, 21st century skills, something else, everything … ? #BYOTchat |
| Sgaglione | @neene ironic, no? #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | past 2 weeks PD is faculty by dept. in circle, sharing curricular objectives…. enhanced by tech in student hands. And food #BYOTchat |
| neene | Demonstrate how to done on own device for comfort will help strugglers adopt #byotchat and then bring others onboard |
| MyTakeOnIt | @neene As @mluhtala & I always say: Empower your students with BYOD so that the learning distracts from the technology! #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Does anyone have any big summer PD plans for BYOT? #byotchat Personal goals? |
| ZinkEd_u | I also think best way to learn is seeing it in action. Teachers then are ready to try it on their own. They love BYOT tours. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SrtaLisa more on tools that are non-device specific #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JanetLDee Hi Janet. Seeing you at #BYOTchat reminds me of another excellent source of FREE PD: #EdCamp. |
| SrtaLisa | @ZinkEd_u You mention learning with devices – is it the devices the students would have or the teachers own devices? #BYOTchat |
| neene | tech toys should be outlets for learning not just devices plugged into outlets #byotchat The teacher will make the difference. |
| 40ishoracle | What BYOT PD looks like… Science Dept Boot Camp #byotchat http://t.co/NMfrelOQ |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SrtaLisa Good PD takes it all into account, I think. #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt so true. I try to get my BYOT team to participate in these chats as much as possible. I know they are lurking. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @BYOTNetwork big goal of the summer – is preparing to teach music theory /history online at my high school #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JanetLDee If you’re in the Boston area, #EdCampBLC will be on Monday, July 16. I hope to see you there for a LIVE #BYOTchat!!! |
| neene | Effective PD for byot should be as individualized as the device. Each user may need a different approach. But similar skill set. #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @SrtaLisa I think it’s all about quality of instruction, not devices. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt @neene @mluhtala allow students to play and then the distractions will become less #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MyTakeOnIt Hi Jeremy! I agree that getting teachers to use SM and Twitter is a good first step for PD in BYOT! #BYOTchat |
| christensen143 | I’m late to the #byotchat what is the subject tonight? |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @40ishoracle I’ve seen a picture of this room before – so nice that you such a room for your staff! #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | too busy mixing a title sequence, late for #byotchat…but it is Awesome |
| MyTakeOnIt | @christensen143 We’re revisiting the importance of PD in a BYOT program. http://t.co/ySaglUzX #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | Star w/verbs…what is learning objective? What do should students be doing, engaging, exploring? Then find tools to facilitate #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @SrtaLisa teachers very own. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @christensen143 And welcome back! #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 Do your summer plans in teaching music involve BYOT, Steve?  #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @BYOTNetwork I’m attending ISTE – the best professional development. Planning to have BYOT open house for students this summer #BYOTchat |
| neene | Focus on the skills not the tech. Many apps and many devices for accomplishing the same thing. That is the beauty of byot #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | @MyTakeOnIt I am already signed up for #edcampBLC I look forward to a live #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @SteveHayes_RB60 Yeah, I don’t get out much but having good physical space is part of PD plan. #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @neene agree, and a similar goal, focus. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JanetLDee Great!! I really enjoyed the live #BYOTchat at #EdCampBOS—I hope we have an equally successful chat at #EdCampBLC |
| BYOTNetwork | @JanetLDee Good idea for planning lessons in PD. Teachers need the practice for BYOT! #BYOTchat |
| Sgaglione | @ZinkEd_u I wonder who else is lurking alongside us? #BYOTchat |
| christensen143 | @MyTakeOnIt I think it is important to get teachers on mobile devices. We gave all teachers iPads to take home for summer. #byotchat |
| neene | @SrtaLisa Can’t wait for ISTE. Love learning from my peers in RL. We need 2 model collaborative learning RL and VL as part of PD #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @jdferries Oh goodie. Can’t wait to see what you’ve. Created we made a #BYOT Vlog #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Any ideas/suggestions on ways to get teachers motivated to learn new tech skills over the summer? #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | RT @neene: tech toys should be outlets for learning not just devices plugged into outlets #byotchat The teacher will make the difference. |
| MyTakeOnIt | @christensen143 Yes: Simply putting tech tools in the hands of teachers is a great way for teachers to learn! #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @40ishoracle think you’ll like. spent 1.5 hr on titles. should probably edit the content a little next #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | Our teachers are excited about connecting in Edmodo. I’m planning to set up a BYOT group in it as well since it’s a hot topic. #byotchat |
| MulveyBeth | @christensen143 Having a school-provided mobile device is ideal-definitely gives teachers the fever. Ipads for all! #byotchat |
| neene | Hope to continue an Edmodo group this summer to discuss some of these concepts. Just hope to get people to participate. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @neene I like to begin PD by having teachers explore & create a project on a topic they choose with their own devices & share out #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @SteveHayes_RB60 we introduced a curriculum improvement grant program a few years ago that helps a lot #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 bring in current lesson that they really like and add devices to them #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @BYOTNetwork Excellent question! I think there are two separate issues: PD for teachers and skill (vs mindset) development for ss #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | Does anyone have any favorite blogs from which they learn a lot about BYOT? #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @MulveyBeth we’re moving a teacher chooses device model for the upgrade cycle for teachers. now if i can only pay for it. #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | @SteveHayes_RB60 I just created Diigo group for my teachers. I hope they share what they find this summer. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u Great idea! @edmodo is easy to use and fun – and once tchrs are used to it, they’ll see applications with ss too #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @Sgaglione they will jump in when they are ready…you did. #byotchat |
| christensen143 | @MyTakeOnIt plus it takes a lot of pressure away doing it over the Summer. You would have thought it was Christmas. #byotchat |
| MulveyBeth | RT @nathan_stevens: @SteveHayes_RB60 bring in current lesson that they really like and add devices to them #byotchat |
| cybraryman1 | @MyTakeOnIt My BYOT page: http://t.co/gvHoiZym #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @trescolumnae So true. I am frustrated reading about systems buying the tool first. Curriculum should drive decision making. #BYOTchat |
| neene | Don’t overlook lowtech 2 get teachers. Printable Twitter temp might be less scary 4 teachers. Then show the fun of posting live. #byotchat |
| christensen143 | @ZinkEd_u love the idea of using Edmodo as a PD tool. #byotchat |
| neene | Live fosters life to posts when other comment #byotchat This spurs more posting. |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MulveyBeth @christensen143 One of my librarians, @libelee, has been instrumental in getting teachers to take iPads home #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @christensen143 @MyTakeOnIt Great idea! Unfortunately, my district decided to provide laptops for all tchrs … at START of sch yr #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @trescolumnae It seems that PD in BYOT has to include teachers giving up control and learning alongside students. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @40ishoracle Yes! It should – but it’s easy to buy shiny new toys, harder to ask tough questions about purpose #byotchat |
| christensen143 | @MulveyBeth we cannot expect teachers to embrace byot or mobile Ed in general if the aren’t comfortable with the devices. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @neene Yes! I often tell people too check out the archives on http://t.co/ksJC2Z4d before they join #BYOTchat in realtime |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @cybraryman1: @MyTakeOnIt My BYOT page: http://t.co/gvHoiZym #byotchat |
| SrtaLisa | @JanetLDee I’m also a big fan of Diigo for PD #BYOTchat – I have groups for everything and share with everyone |
| cybraryman1 | RT @CZawatski01: Q5 Has your district approached or embraced Bring ur own Tech (#BYOT) 2 schl? thoughts? #nyed #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @40ishoracle @trescolumnae doubt that model ever change, when you have spend, you have to spend it #BYOTchat |
| MulveyBeth | Love this idea! RT @BYOTNetwork: Begin PD by having teachers explore & create project on topic they choose w/ own devices & share #byotchat |
| jdferries | @BYOTNetwork on of most common themes in the PD has been letting go & what it could look like. some anxiety relief, some pushing #BYOTchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | It’s an important first step to show what tech can do in the classroom. #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @christensen143 @ZinkEd_u That has really made a difference here. Tchrs were skeptical of laptop initiative till @edmodo grps 4 PD #byotchat |
| christensen143 | @neene that is the tough part. A lot of people (for good reason) check out during the Summer. #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @stevehayes_rb60 A healthy PD budget…so when teachers see cool conference they think “I can!” rather than “how can I?” #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @BYOTNetwork @trescolumnae Since teachers need to learn alongside students, PD should open up and not just be ‘professional’ #BYOTchat |
| MulveyBeth | Seeing a lot of PD with Diigo. What are best features of this? #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | Do any of you have strategies for encouraging teachers who approach PD reluctantly? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @SrtaLisa @JanetLDee I agree – I like Diigo – very useful. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @BYOTNetwork: @trescolumnae It seems that PD in BYOT has to include teachers giving up control and learning alongside students. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @BYOTNetwork YES! But that is terrifying for a lot of tchrs – the ones who wanted to be The Expert Source of Knowledge #byotchat |
| neene | @christensen143 Agreed many check out during summer. But many felt too stressed during school yr. So have fingers crossed #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt I love Learning in Hand. Very hands-on ready to use ideas. http://t.co/zN8cQuYb #byotchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | We also need to put focus on how technology can make teaching more simple. #byotchat |
| jdferries | @MyTakeOnIt reluctant PD: individualize. start in their comfort zone. focus on student learning. introduce and build off that. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @BYOTNetwork As the paradigm changes on Knowledge Source tchrs, we need to understand & validate feelings, but help them change #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @ZinkEd_u: @MyTakeOnIt I love Learning in Hand. Very hands-on ready to use ideas. http://t.co/zN8cQuYb #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @nathan_stevens @trescolumnae But I am seeing write the grant, buy the tool, then advertise for curriculum development. Backwards #BYOTchat |
| JanetLDee | @SrtaLisa great. I hope it catches on with my teachers. I am tired of using email threads to share ideas. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MrBrianBobbitt Yes, modeling good tech use is always a good thing to do! #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @nathan_stevens @40ishoracle Good point! One thing that CAN help is to have the conversations first, then when $$ appear …. #byotchat |
| christensen143 | @trescolumnae @MyTakeOnIt we were fortunate to have bond money and did both for teachers. I’ve made mobile a priority at Addison. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @MulveyBeth Diigo social bookmarking – joining other groups – sharing resources — add the browser extension #BYOTchat |
| neene | @MyTakeOnIt #byotchat Yes, I send personalized invitation 2 sit down w/ me to try it together. Some like the pretty invite 2build interest. |
| 40ishoracle | @jdferries @mytakeonit The joy is everyone around the table realize the student is the priority. Common goal motivates change #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @trescolumnae it is a HOT tool right now, $ I’m hoping summer will not let the spark die. Tchrs have great ideas for next year. #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @SrtaLisa @BYOTNetwork I am 100% with you, Lisa, but know a LOT of teachers who are terrified to learn along with their sts. Sad. #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | RT @MrBrianBobbitt: We also need to put focus on how technology can make teaching more simple. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @40ishoracle @stevehayes_rb60 I find that even when I offer PD: conferences, in-house, 1on1, etc… Many teachers are reluctant. #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @trescolumnae @40ishoracle not just a conversation, have a goal to everyone feels that they can achieve #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @MrBrianBobbitt Yes – absolutely! Reluctant tchrs are often wary b/c “burned before” by tech that didn’t work or ate up many hrs #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @trescolumnae: RT @MrBrianBobbitt: …. more simple. & efficient #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @40ishoracle @stevehayes_rb60 I’m tempted to try bribery next year: A stipend for teachers who attend PD #BYOTchat |
| neene | Funny this yr reluctant ones in Edmodo group were more active then “tech adopters”. But guess they joined not too reluctant #byotchat |
| christensen143 | @trescolumnae @40ishoracle It is important to remember that no matter the device it is only a tool. The tool can motivate as well. #byotchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | My experience with PD on social media is that many fear it. Seems better to start with simple tools then build social media in. #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @trescolumnae @nathan_stevens When I was still in PubEd I had catalogues marked w/curricular wish items. Ready for $$ drops #BYOTchat |
| neene | @MyTakeOnIt Call it positive reinforcement not bribery lol #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SrtaLisa @BYOTNetwork @trescolumnae Good point: Students provided instruction to teachers is excellent PD! #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @christensen143 @MyTakeOnIt Good deal! Best of all worlds. And it sounds like you also prioritized helping & training #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork they still control willingness to learn. Just giving them devices will not make tchrs excited about possibilities. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MulveyBeth The second thing that I like to do is have teachers create a Twitter account and participate in a chat. #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt @40ishoracle @stevehayes_rb60 several grants have stipends built #BYOTchat |
| christensen143 | @neene catch22! #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @MyTakeOnIt: @40ishoracle @stevehayes_rb60 Im tempted to have a staff PD cookout over the summer – my patio is wifi #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u Yay! Good news! If they have access over the summer – and relaxed atmosphere to play & explore – spark should survive #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @neene ha! #BYOTchat |
| butwait | RT @neene: tech toys should be outlets for learning not just devices plugged into outlets #byotchat The teacher will make the difference. |
| ZinkEd_u | @christensen143 @MulveyBeth but we can expect them to try though. I think BYOT dares us to be risk takers every minute of a day. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @40ishoracle @trescolumnae i keep a list but tech changes so fast , list gets out of date fast #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @MulveyBeth You can highlight/comment on shared articles. Discussions around research can happen when you aren’t in the same place #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @SteveHayes_RB60 @40ishoracle Summer PD cookout! LOVE IT!! #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @christensen143 @40ishoracle Good point! And it can be motivating to remember that it IS just a tool – or to figure out how 2 use #byotchat |
| neene | #byotchat PD in less professional setting a great idea. We have a great courtyard. May start doing that. |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JanetLDee @SrtaLisa I’ll second that, Janet! #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SrtaLisa @trescolumnae My goal for my next PD (next week) is to learn alongside the teachers, too! #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @nathan_stevens @40ishoracle Yes – achievable goals are as important for teachers as they are for other learners #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @MyTakeOnIt @stevehayes_rb60 Stipend does validate time and talents. Teachers aren’t getting enough pats on the back lately #BYOTchat |
| MulveyBeth | @MrBrianBobbitt My school started summer PD tweet chats w unique hashtag. #10TuesTweets. 2 weeks in and seems to be going well! #byotchat |
| christensen143 | @trescolumnae @MyTakeOnIt timing was key for the iPads. Basic training up front and then a summer of play. #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MrBrianBobbitt agree. First, why, then what and how. Mind shift, examples, observations, and then implementation. #byotchat |
| Sgaglione | @trescolumnae I think if anything, this time for me has increased my excitement for the possibilities for next year! #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @neene: @MyTakeOnIt #byotchat Yes, I send personalized invitation 2 sit down w/ me to try it together. Some like the pretty invite 2build interest. |
| JanetLDee | Our tchrs who piloted BYOT this yr are psyched to run PD for others. They want to share what they have figured out. #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @BYOTNetwork @SrtaLisa Now, that is powerful! When the “expert” is also learning, that makes it OK for participants to learn, too #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @neene That’s great. Looking someone in the eye to invite them to participate always works better than inviting a group. #BYOTchat |
| MulveyBeth | Great thing about tweet chats for PD is any time, any where. In your PJs? No problem! In line at the grocery store? That’s good 2! #byotchat |
| jdferries | @MulveyBeth love that. going to start getting traditional awesome teachers to dip their hashtag toes in the waters #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @christensen143 @MyTakeOnIt Great model! Basic training, then chance to play. Will remember that. #byotchat |
| christensen143 | @ZinkEd_u …cont) #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @MulveyBeth Summer PD tweet chats – great idea! #BYOTchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | Also important to celebrate what staff has implemented. #byotchat |
| MulveyBeth | MT @MyTakeOnIt: RT @neene: @MyTakeOnIt I send personal invite 2 sit down w/ me to try together. Helps build interest. #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @Sgaglione Good! Some exposure + some early success + chance to reflect and experiment = foundation for success #byotchat |
| MulveyBeth | @SteveHayes_RB60 Thanks! Anyone is welcome. Talking BYOT this Tuesday. #byotchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | I have been doing some virtual PD with teachers. Fits schedules easier. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @ZinkEd_u But teachers need to learn and experience how students feel about their devices. #BYOTchat |
| neene | @MrBrianBobbitt #byotchat good point to reference prior knowledge and build on recent success |
| christensen143 | @trescolumnae @40ishoracle The bat was nothing without Babe Ruth’s swing. Teachers are key to the value of the tool. #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | @BYOTNetwork @zinked_u agree, teachers need to be supported around equity issues as well #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @MrBrianBobbitt Is your virtual PD 1:1? skype? #BYOTchat |
| Sgaglione | @trescolumnae doesn’t hurt if you’re lucky enough to work with @ZinkEd_u too! very applicable, relevant PD for byot. #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @christensen143 @trescolumnae Nice #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MulveyBeth Right! I was on my iPhone in the car for our #BYOTchat (wife driving). Finally made it home – it is easier on the computer! |
| trescolumnae | @christensen143 @40ishoracle Love the analogy! #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MulveyBeth I love catching up in my learning while in PJs just before bed or after wakeup. Flipboard FTW! #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @christensen143 not sure if thats always. Tchrs have to not be barriers to use but stdts are capable at some lvl w/o instruction #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | part of this summer plan is build blog that that list apps and accessories similar to wiki site that may be easier to use #BYOTchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | @SteveHayes_RB60 Some virtual PD is over Skype, Anymeeting (webinar), sometimes I just upload a lesson to YouTube. #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @Sgaglione @ZinkEd_u I admit I’m jealous #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @MrBrianBobbitt Do you follow up face2face then? Or are the virtual sessions quick hits to introduce new tools? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | Cool! @MulveyBeth will be talking BYOT w/ her teachers this Tuesday at #10TuesTweets. Hopefully some ppl from #byotchat will join |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MulveyBeth @MrBrianBobbitt What time? #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MyTakeOnIt @mulveybeth Me too! I love my little bits of PD with the iPad when I’m having my morning coffee! #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork yes, but they have to be willing to do that. I think it’s the most difficult hump to get over for many tchrs. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @MrBrianBobbitt We have a #BYOTchat wiki. Would you be interested in sharing some of your materials? #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @nathan_stevens Check out http://t.co/HTgabqUJ – a teacher created it for teachers to collaborate on a list of useful apps #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @ZinkEd_u Right! During the school year, I like to invite students in to give the PD – I try to model learning from them. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @MrBrianBobbitt The link is at http://t.co/wDb0tkXO website #BYOTchat |
| MulveyBeth | @MyTakeOnIt Flipboard-got me hooked on SM 4 PD. Made like People mag! Since Twitter, set alarm 4 #satchat 6:30am-who does this 2? #byotchat |
| jdferries | @christensen143 agreed. and not consistent whole #digcit crse is abt civilizing natives. but not evry tchr has to model 4 success #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | Have tried some on demand tutorials-other than quick “click here” for universal tool (e grades) not much excitement w/ virtual PD #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SrtaLisa i know the guy that made it. He made that one after seeing my site http://t.co/kVX9mNbW #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @Sgaglione I’m trying to model relevant teaching! LOL! Thanks, Scott. #byotchat |
| jdferries | @MulveyBeth just cannot get into flipboard and the knockoffs. too much realestate to pix. like my RSS feeds #satchat #byotchat |
| neene | #byotchat Always seek feedback and share the positives. 1 pers love for something may bring another on board. This happened with Edmodo. |
| MulveyBeth | @jdferries I see your point-I’m using TweetDeck a lot more lately it seems. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SrtaLisa I am in the middle of reworking my wiki that matches apps to chapters of core textbooks #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MulveyBeth @jdferries I use TweetDeck for realtime, but Flipboard for my time. #BYOTchat |
| JanetLDee | @BYOTNetwork @zinked_u we are bringing stdts in for our summer PD. They have such grt ideas and info – just need an audience. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @MulveyBeth but Flipboard is MUCH less intimidating for introing people already suffering from infowhelm #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork and I do “learning walks”. we observe tchrs teach & then provide feed back on how to make lessons transformational. #byotchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | Sorry had to step away with my 4 year old. #byotchat I always follow up with PD face to face. |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @JanetLDee WOW! Awesome – that your are bringing students in for summer PD! #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @JanetLDee @BYOTNetwork @zinked_u Excellent idea! In a relaxed, summer atmosphere, tchrs should enjoy learning from their stdts #byotchat |
| SrtaLisa | @nathan_stevens that sounds like a huge undertaking with great potential use for teachers #BYOTchat |
| MulveyBeth | @MyTakeOnIt I agree – Flipboard is always good for “casual” reading before bed. Tweetdeck loaded on the PC all day. #byotchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | Here is my YouTube channel if you want to see some things I’ve done with staff. http://t.co/a6CsOhum #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @JanetLDee @zinked_u Good idea! I should have each teacher bring their own child along for PD in BYOT! Bring Your Own Tutor #BYOTchat |
| MulveyBeth | @jdferries Agreed – that is why I liked Flipboard when I started on SM journey for PD #byotchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | I really want to do more work with blogging next year. Think it would really boost Language Arts. #byotchat Anyone blogging with students? |
| 40ishoracle | @BYOTNetwork @zinked_u We started chalk talks for students and teachers to share ideas. Not perfect but good conversation started #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u @BYOTNetwork One key, I think, is leadership – both at building and district level – leaders as learners, too #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @MrBrianBobbitt: Here is my YouTube channel if you want to see some things Ive done with staff. http://t.co/F14H6Nip #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | Powerful! RT @JanetLDee:we are bringing stdts in for our summer PD. They have such grt ideas and info – just need an audience. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MrBrianBobbitt Same here. I’ve been doing some blogging with students this year but I want to do much more #BYOTchat |
| christensen143 | I’m off to do some non-digital reading. Thanks for the #byotchat everyone! |
| nathan_stevens | @SrtaLisa i have almost one subject done for one grade level. Taking much longer that i though when i first started. #BYOTchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | Great idea to bring students in. @ZinkEd_u #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MrBrianBobbitt So right! – to follow up PD with F2F – makes the learning relevant and offers support. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @christensen143 THanks for joining #BYOTchat again. Always good to see you. |
| Tekkietalk | RT @JanetLDee: Our tchrs who piloted BYOT this yr are psyched to run PD for others. They want to share what they have figured out. #BYOTchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | PD must be continuous and always supported. #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MrBrianBobbitt these look great. I will definitely look closely at these after the chat. Thanks for sharing. #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @40ishoracle @zinked_u Are chalk talks face-to-face? #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u @BYOTNetwork Great idea! Learning walks are powerful, especially when there’s time for everyone to process and reflect #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork yea -BYOCH. Sound funny! #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @christensen143 Thanks for joing us – If you have any ideas for future BYOTchat topics, tweet them to us. #BYOTchat |
| JanetLDee | @trescolumnae @byotnetwork @zinked_u listening to stdts share the apps they use for school work is grt motivator for everyone. #BYOTchat |
| neene | Thanks for the #byotchat everyone. I’m always so tired when I first login but energized as we sign out. Ty. Good luck implementing. |
| MyTakeOnIt | @ZinkEd_u @BYOTNetwork @JanetLDee I LOVE learning from my students—an EXCELLENT vehicle to PD #BYOTchat |
| Sgaglione | @MrBrianBobbitt I am very interested in blogging with my 4th graders reg nxt year. Gives stds authentic audience for their work. #BYOTchat |
| MulveyBeth | @JanetLDee: How many/% of teachers piloted BYOT during your first year? Any conditions to be a “pilot” teacher? #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @neene Thanks for joining #BYOTchat again. Good to see you! |
| ZinkEd_u | @trescolumnae Amen! Leaders should not only explain why something is important, but model what is expected by acting in that way. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @Sgaglione @MrBrianBobbitt I blogged with 5th graders this year… a little tough at times, but overall we’re happy with how it went #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @BYOTNetwork @zinked_u No- time shifted. Big sheets of paper w/guiding questions/ideas posted in hallway. Love 2 do f2f in future #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | RT @trescolumnae: “@ZinkEd_u One key, I think, is leadership – both at building and district level – leaders as learners, too #byotchat†|
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork @40ishoracle what exactly chalk talks? #BYOTchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | Trying to decide whether to student blog with something like My Big Campus, Edmodo or go all out with Blogger – any ideas? #byotchat |
| trescolumnae | @ZinkEd_u Agree 100%! That’s an essential characteristic of great leadership, I think – “walking the talk” #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @zinked_u This is a great idea for you to post along the way to your 21st Century Media Center! Looks good on tour! #BYOTchat @40ishoracle |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MrBrianBobbitt I am really glad I used blogger. The ability to centrally manage from Google Apps was helpful. #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MyTakeOnIt @Sgaglione @MrBrianBobbitt can we see examples? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MrBrianBobbitt I haven’t used My Big Campus, but EdModo isn’t really a blogging tool. #BYOTchat |
| Sgaglione | @MyTakeOnIt would appreciate any tips, suggestions you could share to help me prepare! #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | @JanetLDee @byotnetwork @zinked_u Yes, definitely! So important for tchrs to hear, from sts, what ACTUALLY works #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | RT @MyTakeOnIt: “I LOVE learning from my students—an EXCELLENT vehicle to PD #BYOTchat†|
| JanetLDee | Thanks for a great #byotchat tonight. Now it is time for a Celtics rally…I hope. |
| MyTakeOnIt | @ZinkEd_u @Sgaglione @MrBrianBobbitt Sure. SteppingStone Foundation CSA studnt blogs: http://t.co/N5tyJCtc #BYOTchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | My Big Campus has a blogging system built in. I really prefer blogger. Any help on the Google Apps central control? @MyTake OnIt #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork sure, add it to my list to do! No, seriously, I like the idea. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @Sgaglione Build in playtime—that was something our sched didn’t allow for, and I regret it. #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @ZinkEd_u Guiding questions on big sheets paper taped to wall.Walk w/markers quietly and respond to prompts http://t.co/npGhWIq8 #BYOTchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | You could always “intra-blog” with Google Docs. #byotchat |
| Sgaglione | @MyTakeOnIt thanks, will look at it! #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @Sgaglione Try to find other classes in other schools who are blogging—team up w/ them. Comment on each others’ blogs #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | We’re hoping to tweet out a poll (similar to edchat) for everyone to vote on a topic. If you have ideas for topics, tweet them #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @ZinkEd_u @40ishoracle I love the idea of a list of suggestions/ideas that both teachers and elem students add to in the hallway! #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JanetLDee Good to see you on #BYOTchat again, Janet. Can’t wait to see you at #EdCampBLC!! |
| 40ishoracle | @BYOTNetwork @zinked_u It is a nice visual of conversations. Gets parents talking too when they see. #BYOTchat |
| Sgaglione | @MyTakeOnIt so important in all dif areas of tching, often most skipped as well will def build in that time, impt for success #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @40ishoracle thanks, do you mind I’d I adopt the idea? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MrBrianBobbitt Google Apps allows me to reset students’ password if they forget, etc… #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MrBrianBobbitt Also, I have my students make me an author/admin of their blogs so I can help them edit before they post #BYOTchat |
| trescolumnae | Thanks to all for another wonderful, inspiring #byotchat – see you next week! |
| 40ishoracle | @BYOTNetwork @zinked_u Lower elementary could do picture talks w/ cut outs from magazines or self made clip art #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MrBrianBobbitt My 5thgraders write in GoogleDocs, I comment on their writing, they edit, & then they copy to blogger #BYOTchat |
| MrBrianBobbitt | Please vote for my friend @twilhelmus “Web Tools for Teachers by Type” Livebinder. Great resource of tools. http://t.co/XXjGApuq #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Thanks for another awesome #BYOTchat. I have some new ideas for PD and my own learning! “See” you next week! |
| 40ishoracle | @ZinkEd_u Not really my idea. Observed our Spanish teacher using in class with vocabulary building. I stole from her #BYOTchat |
