| SteveHayes_RB60 | Welcome to #BYOTchat – and a special welcome to #ISEDchat followers! Tonight “Differentiated Instruction in BYOT Classrooms” #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @lcarroll94 @MyTakeOnIt Which hashtag we using? #byotchat #isedchat |
| Edu_Thompson | RT @SteveHayes_RB60: Welcome to #BYOTchat – and a special welcome to #ISEDchat followers! Tonight “Differentiated Instruction in BYOT Classrooms” #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JamesDiGioia The topic is BYOT so I think we should use #BYOTchat but ppl should also include #ISEDchat when it applies |
| lcarroll94 | @SteveHayes_RB60 happy to be here! I usually try to follow both… it’s tough! #ISEDchat #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | “Differentiated Instruction in BYOT Classrooms ” begins now at #byotchat & #isedchat – 9pm EST |
| ZinkEd_u | I think the topic should be “adjusted” to BYOT makes differentiation in a classroom easier!  #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @SteveHayes_RB60 glad I could make this one! Two of my favorite topics #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt can we agree on one hashing or the other to increase the amount of characters for comments #BYOTchat #ISEDchat |
| lcarroll94 | @nathan_stevens use #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | Okay, executive decision: Please use the #BYOTchat hashtag for tonight’s BYOT/#ISEDchat cross-over chat |
| TeacherCast | RT @MyTakeOnIt: Okay, executive decision: Please use the #BYOTchat hashtag for tonight’s BYOT/#ISEDchat cross-over chat |
| jdferries | so nice to start #byotchat off with a discussion of parameters. haven’t had nearly enough of that @nflspeechdebate nationals #byotchat |
| georgia_techgal | Excited to learn! #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | +1 RT @nathan_stevens: @MyTakeOnIt can we agree on one or the other to increase the amount of characters for comments #BYOTchat #ISEDchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @nathan_stevens @MyTakeOnIt let’s stick with our baby #BYOTchat if everyone is cool with that. |
| MulveyBeth | I have no experience with BYOT, but my hunch is that it will force differentiation w/ Ss exploring lesson w/ multiple technologies #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | #isedchat folks wanting to join in… we are discussing Differentiated Instruction in BYOT Classrooms over at #byotchat. |
| nathan_stevens | Where do we want to start? #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @georgia_techgal Welcome to #byotchat Susan! |
| KJHigginbottom | Excited to be back after a 3 week hiatus due end of school year craziness! #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | RT @MyTakeOnIt: Okay, executive decision: Please use the #BYOTchat hashtag for tonight’s BYOT/#ISEDchat cross-over chat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Tailoring instructions to students connected via BYOT has tremendous potential #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MulveyBeth That is exactly what I find. In a BYOT environment, it’s differentiate or die #BYOTchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | RT @MyTakeOnIt: @MulveyBeth That is exactly what I find. In a BYOT environment, it’s differentiate or die #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | I think BYOT puts another spin on differentiation by making it more individualized instruction. #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | RT @MyTakeOnIt: @MulveyBeth That is exactly what I find. In a BYOT environment, it’s differentiate or die #BYOTchat TOTALLY agree! #isedchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Can we hear about some examples of differentiation with BYOT? #byotchat |
| jdferries | tchr in new #BYOTchat environment asks for PPT that is collaborative. Stdts introduced him to GoogleDocs — kids identify advantages. win. |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Thank you @lcarroll94 for arranging the collaboration of #BYOTchat & #ISEDchat #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @ZinkEd_u I agree! Especially when students can make their own learning goals and eportfolios #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | Had Boot Camp w/Counseling today…study skills summer program enhanced by BYOT environment. Exploring personal needs and tools #byotchat |
| georgia_techgal | @BYOTNetwork Thanks! Excited to be here and learn more #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | Ready for a great #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @BYOTNetwork I used the flipped classroom model to help differentiate #byotchat along with Khan academy too. |
| christensen143 | What is the subject for #BYOTChat tonight? |
| jdferries | my open project month: stdts create parameters, design objectives, pitch project, choose tech. http://t.co/FjxVV3nY #byotchat |
| cybraryman1 | BYOT definitely allows for more individualized learning and differentiation #BYOTchat #isedchat |
| lcarroll94 | @jdferries that is great ! Many of our students have figured out the tool to accomplish the task! #byotchat #isedchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @jdferries Also, tchr in #byotchat environment asks for video as final project, Stdts use not just camera but also iPad&photoshop. |
| BYOTNetwork | @40ishoracle I’ve noticed that BYOT offers differentiation opportunities due to students making choices. #byotchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | RT @jdferries: my open project month: stdts create parameters, design objectives, pitch project, choose tech. http://t.co/FjxVV3nY #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | Comp Apps t’cher this morning mentioned high functioning student works ahead at own pace in flipped environment on own device #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | BYOT gives the high achieving Ss a chance to go farther and the lower achieving Ss more opportunity for success #BYOTchat |
| CShoeITS3 | BYOT gives authenticity and choice! Differentiated by interests. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @BYOTNetwork Classroom walls fall down when stus R out in the field: taking video, interviewing ppl, writing, etc #BYOTchat |
| Sgaglione | @Edu_Thompson I am preparing to flip in 4th grade for math this year. Excited for differentiation possibilities with byot! #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | I think it really brings it all back to the learning goals that exist… instead of teaching a “tool”. #isedchat #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | With so many apps, BYOT allows any student to show what they know #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @PaulElevenXXI loved watching a photoshop kid help a pwrpt gameboard student with special effects on board design.. #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @BYOTNetwork Agreed! And empowering choice encourages exploration beyond the prompt. Higher levels of engagement and learning. #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @lcarroll94 @jdferries STs choosing tool is the core of byot. #BYOTchat |
| georgia_techgal | Differentiate- Common goal but students choose the best tools to get there- apps, resources, devices. Share and learn= win #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @christensen143 Tonight is a #BYOTchat/#ISEDchat cross-over chat discussing differentiated learning in a BYOT classroom. |
| PaulElevenXXI | @jdferries students used photoshop, powerpoint, iPad apps&iwork recording to complete video project. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @christensen143 Welcome to “Differentiation in BYOT!” #byotchat |
| Sgaglione | @SteveHayes_RB60 provided that there are high expectations from the teacher, no? #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @SteveHayes_RB60 Great way to say it! #byotchat It also builds the middle students confidence as well. They aren’t ignored |
| lcarroll94 | @JamesDiGioia I still find that I have a wide range of students… some can choose tool, others are overwhelmed. #isedchat #BYOTchat |
| cybraryman1 | BYOT allows for more student creativity & ability to work by themselves or to collaborate easily with others #BYOTchat #isedchat |
| nathan_stevens | @BYOTNetwork @40ishoracle not just opportunities, but increase the ability to be creative on their own terms #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @nathan_stevens So true. And they take such pride in showing what they know and the tool they found. As we all do. #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @jdferries That was a really interesting post btw. Getting to see everything in action. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @lcarroll94: I think it really brings it all back to the learning goals that exist… instead of teaching a “tool”. #isedchat #byotchat |
| MulveyBeth | YES! RT @georgia_techgal: Differentiate- Cmn goal but Ss choose best tools 2 get there-apps, resources, devices. Share&learn= win #byotchat |
| PennyLatimer | Does someone have specific lesson ideas for using flipped classroom/differentiation? #byotchat |
| jdferries | @lcarroll94 i find that is part of #byotchat instructor-as–guide. Set outline fr students & when you see struggles, help them narrow down |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @nathan_stevens: “With so many apps, BYOT allows any student to show what they know” #BYOTchat … Using the tools of their own choosing! |
| ZinkEd_u | BYOT allows teacher to step off the stage and work with stdnts individually, addressing their needs right then. It’s heart of D. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | What are some practical tips for setting up differentiated learning in a classroom? #BYOTchat |
| CShoeITS3 | I’ve heard BYOT really helps students with Autism show learning! #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @Edu_Thompson I would like to know more about how you organized your flipped class! Did you blog about it? #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | I love seeing independent school students participating on tonight’s #BYOTchat even after school’s out! #ISEDchat |
| jdferries | @PennyLatimer my blog has some practical applications of flipclass. usually titled “practically applied” or “flipclass diary” #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @MyTakeOnIt @nathan_stevens Right and they can also make their own goals and track their progress in eportfolios #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | Different devices = must differentiate. If teachers are strong to resist, BYOT initiative dies quickly. #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | @jdferries I agree… but some teachers are more comfortable with the range of tools than others. Do you find that? #byotchat #isedchat |
| MulveyBeth | ? for BYOT veterans-who decides who & how many teachers “pilot” BYOT? Criteria? or do all jump in at once? #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @lcarroll94 And that’s where the teacher steps in – ask about goals, provide potential tools, STs evaluate + select. #BYOTchat |
| ClaireElliott3 | @SteveHayes_RB60 Thank you for posing the Q. I have a hard time because I’m one teacher with 23 kids doing different things. #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | RT @ZinkEd_u: Different devices = must differentiate. If tchrs r strong to resist, BYOT initiative dies quickly. #BYOTchat AGREE! #isedchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @BYOTNetwork You know I did. I have tried it now for two years and think I have finally got it down to where it works for me. #byotchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @MulveyBeth Most of the time teachers volunteer for a #byotchat pilot class |
| MyTakeOnIt | @lcarroll94 @JamesDiGioia Good point. Teachers & admins need to model/teach how to choose tools appropriately #BYOTchat #ISEDchat |
| BYOTNetwork | RT @MyTakeOnIt “Classroom walls fall down when students are out in the field: taking video, interviewing ppl, writing, etc” #BYOTchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | RT @cybraryman1: BYOT definitely allows for more individualized learning and differentiation #BYOTchat #isedchat |
| CShoeITS3 | I’ve heard students with Autism can learn a lot using BYOT. #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @ZinkEd_u Watched t’cher yesterday meet at tables with independent groups. No lecture, focus on personal relationship w/student. #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @40ishoracle @nathan_stevens because they OWN it. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @lcarroll94 yes! teachers choose the amnt of guidance. some teachers comfortable letting students choose IF they want to deviate #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | @MyTakeOnIt Modeling is essential! couldn’t agree more! #BYOTchat #ISEDchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @Sgaglione I like @showmeapp better then the others because you can embed them into your wiki/blog or email them, user friendly #byotchat |
| PennyLatimer | @jdferries thank you. I’ll look there #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | Do u find that sometimes the diff tools set students up w/ unfair advantages… iMovie vs. online video editor, for ex. #isedchat #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @lcarroll94 modeling is important, but matching the app to what they are already doing really drives it home. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | also, a no/low-integration teacher open to etexts, dig.notes, collab.docs will have increased integration w/o tools expertise. #byotchat |
| ClaireElliott3 | @Edu_Thompson @BYOTNetwork would you mind posting your blog site Jill? i’m new to this #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @MyTakeOnIt @lcarroll94 @jamesdigioia Modeling in mtgs, halls, class, extra-curricular. Great conversations re device & tools #BYOTchat |
| CShoeITS3 | @lcarroll94 I think students are flexible and find ways to work around that. #byotchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @Edu_Thompson @Sgaglione @showmeapp Have you tried Explain Everything? #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @Edu_Thompson @showmeapp really like showme, talked with them about adding multiple slides #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @lcarroll94 @jdferries I have seen that some teachers and students are uncomfortable in making choices. They need to learn how! #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | @SteveHayes_RB60 I like collab apps like voicethread or gdocs so sts can share work and learn from each other’s strengths.#BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @PaulElevenXXI @Sgaglione Very little, it is on my summer to do…do you like it? #Byotchat |
| jdferries | @lcarroll94 quality.variance certainly there. try to have enough choice to accommodate range. also, schl keeps labs for high end. #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | @CShoeITS3 I agree that MANY students are, but there r always a few who struggle w/working it out ( at my school) #byotchat #isedchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | The older a S is the more responsible they need to be for their education, BYOT gives Ss the power to accept that responsibility #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @SteveHayes_RB60 preassessment’s powerful.Then plan instruction and think of different ways for kids 2show their workl.#BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @lcarroll94 @jamesdigioia Start small w/ daily activities…note taking and calendar. Then move forward to larger choices. #BYOTchat |
| willremmert | @MulveyBeth What is the discussion around on #byotchat? |
| BYOTNetwork | @Edu_Thompson Where’s the link to the post? #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | @BYOTNetwork that is a real skill in life! making choices. #isedchat #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @lcarroll94 @jdferries I see that all the time. It canbe hard, but take it slowly: Focus on 1 or 2 tchrs at a time. #BYOTchat #ISEDchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @JanetLDee I need to learn voicethread #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @Edu_Thompson @paulelevenxxi @sgaglione explain everything is nice with Dropbox uploading with multiple slides #BYOTchat |
| MsATesta | Do you find sts more focused on the different apps than the content? How to manage that? #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @byotnetwork @lcarroll94 @jdferries A habit that should be broken, no? How does one function w/o making choices? #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | RT @nathan_stevens: @Edu_Thompson @paulelevenxxi @sgaglione explain everything is nice with Dropbox uploading with multiple slides #BYOTchat |
| anganaghate | @SteveHayes_RB60 teach 2standard not indiv skill allows all lrnrsrot growr, BYOT allows many avenues for indiv momentum #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MulveyBeth If everyone is enthusiastic, that’s fine. If only 1 or 2, start w/ them. BYOT pilots & scales easily #BYOTchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @Edu_Thompson I used @showmeapp and @Educreations , Explain Everythings is better for me and more detailed. #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | @SteveHayes_RB60 I love @voicethread. Can use with many devices! “VT as assessment tool” http://t.co/HEYZ2U1K #BYOTchat #isedchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @nathan_stevens @paulelevenxxi @sgaglione Interesting, except we are blocked from dropbox.  #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @nathan_stevens I agree Explain Everything teamed up with Dropbox is awesome! #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MulveyBeth it’s all about instruction. We chose teachers who know the work and already tach kids the 4Cs. #BYOTchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @nathan_stevens @Edu_Thompson @sgaglione And drawing staight lines as well. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 @janetldee if you do not have access to voicethread, try fotobabble #BYOTchat |
| cybraryman1 | @SteveHayes_RB60 My Voice Thread page: http://t.co/WdEbXHzC easy to use! #BYOTchat #isedchat |
| jdferries | @MsATesta when students go off task, they lose out on input.teacher, collab help frm peers, content in class. shows in assessment #byotchat |
| CShoeITS3 | @lcarroll94 That’s true, but that is true any class assignment. #byotchat |
| MulveyBeth | @willremmert Discussing implementation, but not sure who 2 start with-need 2 help Ts get beyond using smartphone 4 internet search #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | In BYOT envir. more opportunity for eBooks. Dictionary feature supports slow readers. Suddenly they can keep up. Empowering #BYOTchat |
| MulveyBeth | RT @ZinkEd_u: @MulveyBeth its all about instruction. We chose teachers who know the work and already teach kids the 4Cs. #byotchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @Edu_Thompson @nathan_stevens You can also upload it to youtube or save it to camera roll. #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @lcarroll94 My opinion: No more than when you tell a student “you must use iMovie even if you prefer online editor” #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @ClaireElliott3 @SteveHayes_RB60 I think grouping students strategically can be helpful, too. #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MsATesta This focus on apps wears off over time especially if the teacher has high expectations for student work. #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @mytakeonit @lcarroll94 @jdferries Start small is how I’m approaching SM at my new job. It’s relevant with everything. #BYOTchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @Edu_Thompson @nathan_stevens @sgaglione It also works with evernote. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @Edu_Thompson @paulelevenxxi @sgaglione you can export videos out, the Dropbox integrat. is nice feature, but I am more of showme #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | @JamesDiGioia agreed. it’s hard to make choices… Just look at how hard it is for seniors to make college decision. #isedchat #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @cybraryman1 Thank you! You Sir, are an amazing wealth of knowledge!! #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | Also, anecdotal admittedly, if everyone has a device, student needing device assisted learning is just like everyone else. #BYOTchat |
| cybraryman1 | The teacher in a BYOT environment must be very flexible & allow students to choose best way to facilitate their learning #BYOTchat #isedchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @JamesDiGioia @byotnetwork @lcarroll94 @jdferries Sometimes the hardest part of a project is choosing how to begin! #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @40ishoracle oh, man, my hear is growing wings! It’s so powerful to observe in a classroom. I want my son to be in one of those! #byotchat |
| Sgaglione | @ZinkEd_u amen to that! #BYOTchat |
| cybraryman1 | My Differentiated Instruction page: http://t.co/NiGw2UaK #BYOTchat #isedchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @PaulElevenXXI @nathan_stevens @sgaglione On no!! Evernote is where my heart is so you know I will be trying that!! #byotchat! So excited! |
| georgia_techgal | We have so many parameters and strict guidelines. The discomfort s’s & t’s feel= growth and learning. #byotchat |
| ClaireElliott3 | @ZinkEd_u @SteveHayes_RB60 By putting a tech-savvy student in each group I guess? #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | @ClaireElliott3 that’s a great strategy! #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @willremmert @MulveyBeth Tonight is a #BYOTchat/#ISEDchat cross-over chat discussing differentiated learning in a BYOT classroom. |
| JamesDiGioia | @byotnetwork @lcarroll94 @jdferries Most certainly the hardest part of writing! #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | RT @anganaghate “BYOT allows many avenues for individual momentum” #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @Edu_Thompson @paulelevenxxi @sgaglione I have Evernote since it came out, big fan of the trunk features #BYOTchat |
| JanetLDee | @SteveHayes_RB60 VT not for droid yet but ios app is good and web 2.0 is excellent. Helped tchr use it for bio lab report. #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @lcarroll94 Do we care about tech polish? What really matters? I look for the “meat” of a project and preach it to my teachers. #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | @nathan_stevens thx that’s helpful. #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MulveyBeth @willremmert That’s why there has to be a hand-in-hand implementation of BYOT and PBL. #byotchat |
| WanderingEds | RT @IamOkema @cybraryman1: Thurs. Chats: #SAchat #isedchat #mathchat #onecom #ukedchat #langchat #psychat #BYOTchat #edblogs #EdBlogs |
| MyTakeOnIt | @MsATesta Tchrs fall prey to that too. It’s human nature—apps are shiny! When the project is interesting it trumps the tool #BYOTchat |
| georgia_techgal | RT @cybraryman1: My Differentiated Instruction page: http://t.co/NiGw2UaK #BYOTchat #isedchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @Edu_Thompson @PaulElevenXXI @Sgaglione I LOVE it. Worth every penny. #byotchat |
| Sgaglione | @Edu_Thompson @PaulElevenXXI @nathan_stevens I love being able to access Evernote on my phone, too #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @ZinkEd_u @lcarroll94 Totally agree, if the content is there and they are trying something new they will learn for the next time #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @Sgaglione @PaulElevenXXI @nathan_stevens Yes having it on iphone, ipad and web makes it very nice! #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @Edu_Thompson @paulelevenxxi @sgaglione since we have gone to google docs, eats into my use of Evernote #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | @Edu_Thompson @ZinkEd_u AGREED- as long as it is a well designed project w/ rubrics that assess the “meat”. #byotchat #isedchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @MsATesta I believe rubrics with high expectation for content can set the boundaries. #byotchat |
| MissDSciTeacher | #BYOTchat great topic tonight! Thanks |
| Sgaglione | @BYOTNetwork agreed, PBL and byot are a match made in a thinker’s heaven. #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @MyTakeOnIt there are so many apps the are nice and do similar things, the key is being to find the one you need #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | Has anyone done any formal training w/ differentiation in a BYOT environment? #isedchat #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @edu_thompson @ZinkEd_u @lcarroll94 FWIW, I would mention a “clean” or “polished” presentation is important in “real-world” #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @lcarroll94 I have trained others but have only learned through trial and error #byotchat |
| MulveyBeth | RT @MyTakeOnIt: @MsATesta Ts fall prey 2 that too. Its human nature—apps r shiny! When project is interesting it trumps tool #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @nathan_stevens It’s hard to beat Evernote for collecting / organizing content. Also works great with Explain Everything #BYOTchat |
| Sgaglione | @lcarroll94 @Edu_Thompson @ZinkEd_u yes, the focus needs to be on the meat of the thinking! #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | Do you teach teachers how to build great projects w/ rubrics that assess the “meat”. Share and learn from each other? #isedchat #byotchat |
| jdferries | does anyone have the app that handles getting frozen yogurt for melting down 3yo whle watching duo finals? thats differentiation! #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @lcarroll94 Yes, I used one app a month to do this #byotchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @SteveHayes_RB60: @cybraryman1 Thank you! You Sir, are an amazing wealth of knowledge!! #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @Edu_Thompson @lcarroll94 same. I’ve trained teachers, but learned myself through playing #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @ClaireElliott3 that’s too. Or should we say “meat” savvy? #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | @Edu_Thompson I agree.. trial/ error/ playing does take time. a precious commodity for teachers. @SrtaLisa #isedchat #BYOTchat |
| Sgaglione | @Edu_Thompson thanks for sharing, look forward to reading after the chat. #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @lcarroll94 @SrtaLisa Right that is why I share what does work to save others time #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | Collaboration among teachers must happen in order for effective differentiation to take place. Tchrs must build a true community. #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @ZinkEd_u @lcarroll94 Polish considered only if objective-ie film class the tech IS learning objective. Otherwise content is king #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | With so many great free online tools – I don’t think a student w/out “iMovie” (example only) is penalized #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | RT @georgia_techgal: We have so many parameters and strict guidelines. The discomfort s’s & t’s feel= growth and learning. #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | Stdts with their own devices have powerful organization tools, helping them be more prepared for learning. #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | Love it! RT @Sgaglione: @BYOTNetwork agreed, PBL and byot are a match made in a thinker’s heaven. #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | what online video editors do people use? do they require an email address? struggle for lower grades… #isedchat #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @lcarroll94 it takes time, so teachers need the enthusiasm to play on their own. Success happens when device used in own life 1st #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | agree! RT @40ishoracle: @ZinkEd_u @lcarroll94 Polish considered only if objective… content is king #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @ZinkEd_u Right! The community has to be built among teachers and also among teachers and students. #BYOTchat |
| ClaireElliott3 | @ZinkEd_u Yes! Unfortunately, they’re not always synonomous #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @lcarroll94 What’s the gDrive integrated video editor? @jdferries? I know you know #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @JamesDiGioia @edu_thompson yes, but I would prefer to focus on “meat” in elementary and make it a habit. Polish can come later. #BYOTchat |
| PaulElevenXXI | @lcarroll94 if it’s just simply trimming, I use iDevices. Don’t really know about online ones. #byotchat |
| Sgaglione | @ZinkEd_u that adds layer to byot, Ts sharing what works and what doesn’t work with others. Old adage, work smarter, not harder. #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @lcarroll94 I’ve seen great videos edited in YouTube including “choose your own adventure” style video with clickable areas #BYOTchat |
| anganaghate | @lcarroll94 @ZinkEd_u it’s true collaboration, our ITS wrks w/us 2create/tweak high expect rubric from beg.”meat” 2 presentation. #BYOTchat |
| MulveyBeth | RT @SrtaLisa: @lcarroll94 it takes time, teachers need enthusiasm 2 play on own. Success happens when device used in own life 1st #byotchat |
| jdferries | @JamesDiGioia ive been playing with wevideo, but it requires gdrive or email. for lower grades i would look to app or prgrm #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @lcarroll94 try as much as I can. Usually one teacher at a time. #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | @JamesDiGioia tried that… requires google account. our lower school students don’t have email until gr 6. #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @lcarroll94 I have a set of dummy email accounts that students can borrow if they don’t have their own. #BYOTchat |
| Sirotiak02 | RT @cybraryman1: My Differentiated Instruction page: http://t.co/NiGw2UaK #BYOTchat #isedchat |
| BYOTNetwork | How could a teacher truly differentiate if he/she doesn’t really know or understand the learning needs & interests of the stdnts? #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @mytakeonit @lcarroll94 You see the CYOA-type video on “Think Before You Send”? Pretty powerful. #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @MyTakeOnIt @lcarroll94 Thats cool. I have the kids make choose their own adventure in PP, never thought about it with Youtube #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | @ZinkEd_u that’s the approach I’ve been taking w/ twitter.. one teacher at a time.. #BYOTchat |
| Steph_SMac | @lcarroll94 we video is a great tool to edit videos online #BYOTchat |
| MsATesta | @40ishoracle @ZinkEd_u agreed that content is key, but shouldn’t tech be assessed too. Don’t we check for grammar why not tech? #byotchat |
| jdferries | @BYOTNetwork it always starts with context of the students. learning is connection of context and experience through reflection #byotchat |
| Sgaglione | @ZinkEd_u @JamesDiGioia @edu_thompson easier to focus on polish after the fact than other way around perhaps? #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @40ishoracle very true. #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @BYOTNetwork That is why fornal and informal assessment is key along with also having the students track their own learning too. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | with some tools that require email accounts – could it all be the same account they use to login – classroom email acct?? #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @MsATesta @zinked_u @lcarroll94 Always consider academic objective. I don’t grade grammar in reflection b/c ideas are objective. #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @ClaireElliott3 then the two are perfect to be in the same group. #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @sgaglione @ZinkEd_u @Edu_Thompson Definitely – getting good @ “meat” is def harder. #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | MT @MsATesta: @40ishoracle @ZinkEd_u …shouldn’t tech be assessed too? Don’t we check for grammar why not tech? #byotchat #isedchat |
| lcarroll94 | @Steph_SMac thanks. I’ll check it out. #BYOTchat |
| MulveyBeth | Any links to PBL info? Would like to see more thoughts & ideas w PBL/BYOT together. #byotchat |
| JamesDiGioia | @msatesta I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “assess tech” – have an example? #BYOTchat |
| MyTakeOnIt | @JamesDiGioia @lcarroll94 Dunno if I’ve seen it. Do you have a link? #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 I make generic class accounts in g,ail and use those sites that need email #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | @SteveHayes_RB60 I think that will work with some online tools, but not all. #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @Edu_Thompson How do you have the students track their own learning? #BYOTchat |
| Sgaglione | @Edu_Thompson I was thinking about using electronic portfolios with my 4th graders this year, any experience with those? #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @lcarroll94 i check for tech when its in objective: “effectively use multimedia to support message.” “formats page correctly” #byotchat |
| georgia_techgal | @MulveyBeth http://t.co/65Nk0r8l Great site! #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @anganaghate @lcarroll94 true collaboration means be honest with feedback, too. Then quality will improve. #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @BYOTNetwork I teach them to use the objective boxes I create on the tests I make & then we conference once a week in all subjects #byotchat |
| MulveyBeth | Ss given choice & tech combined to reach learning goal = ultimate way to track their own learning-as long as goal is clear! #byotchat |
| jdferries | @lcarroll94 @SteveHayes_RB60 yeah, email is becoming ticket…competing with FB or other SM login. particularly for Freemium progs #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @BYOTNetwork @edu_thompson you could use showme to record student’s explain and annotate to show what they know #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @BYOTNetwork @edu_thompson Practice journals in GDocs works great for students tracking – I can check progress and comment too #BYOTchat |
| MsATesta | @JamesDiGioia make sure they understand what they doing,how they are sharing, move beyond basics if used app a few times #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MulveyBeth Transformational gaming project on the 2000′s http://t.co/NCpnoISD Student choice/Interests/Needs #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork she/he can’t. Then admin and instr. couches need to differentiate prof. learning with the staff. #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @Sgaglione yes I use…suprise Evernote #byotchat |
| MulveyBeth | @georgia_techgal Thanks for the link! #byotchat |
| 40ishoracle | @msatesta @zinked_u @lcarroll94 But if objective truly calls for polish or method, hold accountable. But be ready to explain why #BYOTchat |
| Sgaglione | @Edu_Thompson the wonders never cease tonight! Looks like I have some work to do….. #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @SrtaLisa @BYOTNetwork That is awesome, except we are blocked ;-( #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | @Edu_Thompson blocked from googledocs? #byotchat |
| jdferries | @Edu_Thompson buy the techs donuts and redbull? #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | If “assessing tech” means how “professional” the final project looks, then it remains me: of http://t.co/AFd8gy2a #BYOTchat |
| MsATesta | @Edu_Thompson blocked from both google and Dropbox? #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @lcarroll94 yes students are blocked only teachers can view. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @lcarroll94 @Edu_Thompson – blocked from google docs – and didn’t you say dropbox – that’s sad #BYOTchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @JamesDiGioia @msatesta I’m not sure what would be the purpose? #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @jdferries I am doing a summer intership there and hope to work some magic.  #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @MsATesta Yup!!! #byotchat |
| jdferries | @Edu_Thompson let me know if you need #geektranslation advice. #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | @Edu_Thompson what’s the reasoning there? #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @Sgaglione @Edu_Thompson love the idea. And make them reflect on their work and progress make it even more powerful. #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @SteveHayes_RB60 @lcarroll94 Yes, it is something we are working one! #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @jdferries I might do that! Thanks! #byotchat |
| Sgaglione | @Edu_Thompson just read about Evernote in your blog post, cannot wait to start using Evernote! Thank you so much for sharing… #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @lcarroll94 That they can get any docs that are out there and it won’t be ‘filtered’ #byotchat |
| georgia_techgal | @ZinkEd_u @Sgaglione @Edu_Thompson Love this as well! #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @Sgaglione No problem, glad it can help! #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | So- if you introduce a project and talk about the learning goals, do you introduce any tools as available choices? #isedchat #byotchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @Edu_Thompson @Sgaglione we have so many tools to choose from. From Wixie to Edublogs. Pick their poison. #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @ZinkEd_u @Sgaglione Right, I like edmodo and kidblog too #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | I just have to say that I’m pretty proud of my FCS folks for turning out in droves for #byotchat tonight! |
| nathan_stevens | @Edu_Thompson @lcarroll94 in NC, we have to filter to keep our Ed grant funding #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @Edu_Thompson Let me guess they block youtube too? How about google images? #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | @nathan_stevens we have to filter for e-rate funding but we don’t have to filter EVERYTHING. #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @nathan_stevens @lcarroll94 I am in NC too! #byotchat |
| jdferries | @lcarroll94 i generally incorporate suggestions into the flips…sometimes give some testing objectives (like w/ notetaking apps) #byotchat |
| SrtaLisa | @lcarroll94 yes I provide some options, but tell them if they know something else and it would work they can use it. #BYOTchat |
| MsATesta | @ZinkEd_u @JamesDiGioia gaining solid fluid digital literacy. Holding accountable for interdisciplinary work. #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @SteveHayes_RB60 LOL, you tube was opened this year only for teachers and yes, google images is blocked! #byotchat |
| georgia_techgal | Thank you, all- Look forward to the next chat! #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @Edu_Thompson that is why I made the comment, you are a few hours away #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | @jdferries @SrtaLisa Great! I agree that students need to have some idea of what’s out there, esp the younger students. #isedchat #byotchat |
| ClaireElliott3 | @BYOTNetwork Thanks for the invite. Great PD class today, too. Lots of good ideas and connections tonite! #byotchat |
| jdferries | @lcarroll94 @nathan_stevens i’m surprised how little you have to filter for e-rate. as long as you can explain reasoning. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @lcarroll94 I think you have to propose some choices so students develop some new strategies and also give open choice. #byotchat #isedchat |
| ZinkEd_u | @BYOTNetwork I am too! And there are so many of mine! proud of you, guys! #byotchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @nathan_stevens Oh yes, that is right! I love your city and NCTIES! #byotchat |
| Sgaglione | @Edu_Thompson think @edmodo has enormous potential in my classroom this year! Flipping, literature circles, parent involvement #BYOTchat |
| SrtaLisa | @lcarroll94 @jdferries projects have been equally impressive and well done when from a recommended source or independent #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | This hour went by fast – it’s great to spend it with some many amazing engaging educators – thank you for joining us! #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @jdferries @lcarroll94 @nathan_stevens Right! Tech people need to let us make the choices & differentiation! #BYOTchat #isedchat |
| lcarroll94 | @SteveHayes_RB60 thanks so much for moderating! #BYOTchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @BYOTNetwork @lcarroll94 I agree because that is also how we as teachers learn new sites etc. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @Sgaglione You are going to love evernote – phone, ipad, laptop #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | @SteveHayes_RB60 couldn’t live without @evernote! #isedchat #BYOTchat |
| 40ishoracle | @SrtaLisa @lcarroll94 We’re building digital toolbox w/ general and department specific suggestions. Helps Ss and Ts get started #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @lcarroll94 Thanks for joining us – Let’s do it again sometime! #BYOTchat |
| georgia_techgal | Techie Homework=Evernote (love it!) #byotchat |
| lcarroll94 | @SteveHayes_RB60 can you share archive of #BYOTchat w/ #isedchat too! I will link it to our Ning! THANKS SO MUCH! |
| jdferries | @BYOTNetwork @lcarroll94 @nathan_stevens mean old tech people. http://t.co/KasYlWj6 #byotchat |
| cecigomez_g | RT @cybraryman1: BYOT definitely allows for more individualized learning and differentiation #BYOTchat #isedchat |
| Edu_Thompson | @Sgaglione used it for all those things & this summer I tried doing a tcher summer PD and it is working out well #byotchat |
| ClaireElliott3 | @Sgaglione I’m looking foward to Edmodo too. Lots of opportunities there! #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Thanks for a great #BYOTchat & #isedchat! This topic of differentiation is definitely not finished! Maybe we can revisit it sometime! |
| lcarroll94 | @SteveHayes_RB60 thank you! what a great hour! maybe we can do this monthly! #BYOTchat |
| JamesDiGioia | I think I can sum up tonight’s #BYOTchat – “I love me some Evernote!” |
| Edu_Thompson | @nathan_stevens next year you need to go to NCties, it was awesome! #byotchat |
| Sgaglione | Thanks for a great chat, always feel so invigorated after a #BYOTchat |
