Twitter Chats - The ins, outs and my top 8 chats - 2 views

    Twitter Chats - The ins, outs and my top 8 chats Educational Twitter Chats are happening all the time on Twitter and as a globally connected educator - I LOVE IT! Every opportunity I can get I involve myself in the 1 hour twitter chats that surface themselves in my twitter feed. It gives me the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like minded educators, network with the best in the business and pick up new and interesting things to use to make me a better educator. PD in the palm of my hands (literally). For those that don't know what I am talking about - let me give you the low-down. Twitter chats take place on twitter at a certain time every week (click here for a complete list of education related twitter chats and their times). All chats use a certain hashtag to discuss a variety of topics with a education related theme. They provide a unique and eye opening opportunity for educators to connect, share and collaborate with others from all over the world. The best part about this virtual staffroom ….. it is FREE!

The Teacher's Guide To Twitter | Edudemic - 0 views

  • Twitter has proven itself to be an indispensable tool for educators around the globe. Whatever skill level you may be, Twitter is downright fun and worth your time.
  • For many teachers making a foray into the edtech world, Twitter is an excellent tool for consuming and learning.
  • Many are also harnessing Twitter as a part of their PLN (personal learning network) to connect, share, and network.

  • The best way to get the most out of Twitter is to use it.
  • When you’re just getting started on Twitter (or perhaps trying to add to or refine your feed), a resource for educational hashtags or guides to great accounts to follow are excellent resources to point you in the right direction.
  • If you always find interesting things on Twitter, such as lesson plans, don’t forget to share your awesome resources, too.
  • Just like going to the gym once every two weeks isn’t going to keep you in peak physical condition, participating in Twitter #hashtag chats and interacting only occasionally isn’t going to make your Twitter community very robust.

12 Effective Ways To Use Google Drive In Education | Edudemic - 3 views

  • I’d recommend using it as a useful tool for project-based learning where students can collaborate in real-time, hold chats, and even finalize a project from different locations.

      Fantastic applications of Google Drive in the classroom!
  • The other big way I’d recommend trying out Google Drive would be for mind maps. You can create mind maps using a presentation in Google Drive and work on it with others at the same time.

    I've begun a journey this week where my students and I are collaborating on PE "sportfolios". So, I guess what I am saying, is you can add e-portfolios to the list!

How Should Professional Development Change? | Edutopia - 1 views

    • David Byrne
       
      @Cohort21 - Looking at these numbers, I wonder what would happen if we were to spend 7.5 hours together every week!
  • The Shanghai teacher and Singapore teacher ratios of teaching time to collaboration time reveal even larger disparities. The Shanghai teacher reported teaching 15 hours a week and collaborating 7.5 hours a week. The Singapore teacher spends 18 hours teaching and 15 hours collaborating each week. Spending so much time collaborating with other teachers every week is not a reality for U.S. teachers who feel lucky to chat with their colleagues at lunch or in biweekly faculty meetings. The differences in professional development systems do not end here though. In Singapore, teachers are expected to do 100 hours of professional development (paid by the ministry of education) every year. That would be 500 hours in five years. In Shanghai, teachers are expected to do a minimum of 360 hours of professional development every five years -- compare that to the mere 120 hours of professional development that is typically required of U.S. teachers every five years.
