3 - Something Learned: 20% of tweets on Twitter are education related.  

3 - Something Learned: The Tweech Me App has a google calendar link with educational twitter  chats going on at any giving time that you can add to your personal calenar.

3 - Something Learned: Within the Tweech Me App there is a Twitter Mentor Program to help facilitate using Twitter for educators for educational purposes.  ]]> 2018-03-26 19:40:54 UTC https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246268366 coverbee https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246269306 2 - Things to Share: The Tweech Me App is a video based App that was created 'to demystify Twitter for educators and connect teachers with resources on the social media platform."  

2 - I like the phrase stated at the end of the podcast by Vicky Davis with Every Classroom Matters, "You innovate or you depreciate." Neat phrase to remind other colleagues of.  ]]> 2018-03-26 19:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246269306 coverbee https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246270490
1 - Plan to Use:  Plan to look into twitter mentor program link.

1 - Plan to Use: Even though it is not free, $0.99 is pretty inexpensive to get the Tweech Me App, and May consider adding. ]]> 2018-03-26 19:47:48 UTC https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246270490 coverbee https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246277643
3 - Something Learned: Podcasts are another medium to voice things to educators. The recommended following House of Ed Tech.  

3 - Something Learned: Through their Google Teacher Tribe, they are collecting a practical lesson plan database. It will be available to their podcasts listeners as a lesson plan idea resource. It will also be searchable. This is a powerful way to connect teachers with content specific lesson plans across the globe.  

3 - Something Learned: Previously I was not aware of what the Google Teacher Tribe was or that it even existed. Interesting network to learn about and use its resources. #GTTribe 

3 - Something Learned: Learned about a new Google Update in Google Docs. They explained the steps or process to cite sources within a google doc as a footnote using MLA or APA format etc. ]]> 2018-03-26 20:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246277643 coverbee https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246278936
2 - Things to Share: Google Classroom Features has made some updates. Among those is the ability to differentiate assignments within the google classroom. You now have the option when using Google Classroom to assign assignments to all students, a single student, or a specific group of students; a feature that did not exist before.

2 - Things to Share: Google Classroom Features has also made an update regarding the ways you receive notifications to help you manage student work. You can now get a notification when a student submits work after the assigned due date as well as if a student re-submits his or her work. ]]> 2018-03-26 20:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246278936 coverbee https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246280521
1 - Plan to Use: Kasey Bell's Blog post regarding 17 Things for Teachers to Try in 2017. She shared two things that peeked my interested to explore or try. 
 1.) Google Cast In Education for Chrome, allows students to cast from any device to the teacher.  
2.) Google Keep is a google to do list manager.

3 - Something Learned: Interesting Statistic: Only Up to 25% of schools teaching coding to students.  

3 - Something Learned: It is possible to help students with computer coding.  One of the more basic things teachers can do is to go through what you are coding ahead of time yourself. (Practice it as the teacher, on your own, ahead of time.) Just getting the students on the resource is not enough. This way you are able to anticipate mistakes, etc, and learn before they do.

3 - Something Learned - There are simple ways for math teachers to incorporate coding into the classroom and they start by looking at possible standards that would easily translate into a coding activity.

2 - Things to Share: Something to share among Elementary Teachers, is that he stated it was a lot easier to see several ELA and Literacy Standards met more easily through coding than other subject areas. 

2 - Grant Smith is the consultant and trainer for coding in this podcast, that is something one might want to keep in mind and look into his research if interested in coding in the future. ]]> 2018-03-26 20:42:22 UTC https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246286562 coverbee https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246286992 1 - To be honest, coding is not something I have ever thought of or planned to use in my math classroom. However I did bookmark the website as she suggested toward the end of the podcast for a future resource and reference in regards to the best approaches to teaching coding in the classroom. 

]]> 2018-03-26 20:44:31 UTC https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246286992 coverbee https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246292746 3 - Something Learned: Sketchnoting is a visual way to take  notes for students using images, drawings, color, shape on paper or tablet that is visually appealing and makes the content meaningful for the note taker.  I did not realize this was an actual thing, lol! I have used pre-designed "doodle notes" is what I called them as guided note resources off line here and there in my math classroom because the students seemed to like them, but I did not realize it was an actual thing! 

3 - Something Learned: The resource Sketchnote by Mike Rohde is an awesome resource for those interested in sketch-nothing. She references it several times in the podcast. He shared that sketch-noting "is ideas not art and a way to layout words visually." 

3 - Something Learned: Stacey discusses how sketch-noting starts with basic shapes like circles etc and you build from there. I am a visual learner so I really needed to see what she was talking about in her examples in the podcast. I googled her and looked at her you tube videos! So neat to see how the sketch-note process visually unfolds with basic shapes as she stated, but also the content underneath! ]]> 2018-03-26 21:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246292746 coverbee https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246293784
2 - Things to Share: Would like to share resource with EC/intervention specialist. We often look for intervention strategies for the "off task student" that might help them be more successful, whether they are a kid with ADD, EC, etc. Sketch - noting is a great tool almost like an outline or mind map to organize thoughts for those type of students .  Great intervention strategy to try! 

2 - Things to Share: Would also like to share resource with team. "Doodling" in margins is not always a bad thing. Sometimes even though those students appear to be "off task" they can quote whatever item we were just presenting on perfectly even thought hey were "doodling" instead of taking notes the traditional way. So Why not harness that into sketch nothing and make it more than "doodling" but engaging in the meaning of the notes with drawings? ]]> 2018-03-26 21:15:33 UTC https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246293784 coverbee https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246294632
1 - Plan to Use: I love this idea! Like I stated earlier, I have used online pre-made resources that were guided notes but also had doodles within them regarding the content. I had no idea it was an actual thing! This might help students who have that geometric background as a successful outlet to take notes. Would like to research and find some pre-designed sketch-notes for upcoming units that I will be doing, or definitely over the summer break, for next year. Note necessarily to do every day, but as a neat tool to add in there or there as an additional fun but meaningful note taking strategy. ]]> 2018-03-26 21:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246294632 coverbee https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246296333
3 - Something Learned: New Chrome Books coming out soon. Two types the ACER Chromebook Spin 11 and the ASIS Chromebook C213.  Both will have stylist capability.  They will also have world facing as well as forward facing camera features.  You will also be able to, as the admin, use approved android apps on these chrome books.  

3 - Something Learned: New really creative Apps In Chromebooks offer neat feature through the updates in Google Classroom within the Android APPS and with the help of the new stylist enabled Chromebook students can now complete assignments, homework, annotation, etc in classroom app. This is a neat crossover point with the tablet and Chromebook usage. 

3 - Something Learned - Kasey Bell on the Podcast is creating a searchable educational database of educational hashtags used on Twitter.   This would be helpful in finding educational topics you are interested in.

2 - Things To Share: I have a teacher at another school I am friends with that uses Google Sites, and I need to share these updates with her: Google Sites has a new drag and drop interface like what I used to use (and they did too) in Weebly.  They also have now added an auto-save function, that was not previously there.  

2 - When looking at writing technology grants with my team or even for myself in the future..... I need to consider less grants for Ipads but possibly now grants for some of the new Chromebooks that have these innovate tablet and Chromebook joint features. More bang for buck, with new innovations and changes Chromebooks are making! ]]> 2018-03-26 21:39:01 UTC https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246298519 coverbee https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246300325
1 - Thing Plan to Use: I do not use google sites at all. Our team decided to use CANVAS this year. However, in the future that decision might need to be re-visited for next year. The new options in Google sites are interesting and very user friendly. As they stated, the ability to share with the authentic audience is really neat. I need to remember the possibility of using google sites in the future. ]]> 2018-03-26 21:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/coverbee/lwdy12rx4dke/wish/246300325
