#ncadmin I'm going to start w/ Question 1 [Q1] Aug is Connected Ed mon, have you started a new practice to get connected?
A1: I have been incorporating the hashtag #gcsk12 to promote connectivity within my own county. #Ncadmin
@davidstegall and I recently led a training in Davie to share PLC process w/ school & district admins. #ncadmin
#ncadmin A1 Yesterday at WCHS was our first faculty meeting...we will be using twitter as a PLC tool this year, goal is 85%
A1: The challenge is getting colleagues to begin the process. With limited budgets, establishing a PLN to get connected is vital.#ncadmin
#ncadmin Jeff link our Principal, who is on this chat has a goal of 85% of the faculty to join twitter. Great start I think.
@CraigStyron emailed out to faculty an article that was posted on twitter last night concerning technoogy uses in schools #ncadmin
@LinkJeffery great idea; I have really promoted twitter for my teachers, the challenge lies in how to properly utilize for PLN's.#Ncadmin
Unfortunately, too many admins see the position as the destination. Growth and connectedness must become a priority. #ncadmin
A1: I will be using Edmodo this year as a tool to connect student teachers, cooperating teachers, and University supervisors.#ncadmin
We had our opening meeting for our district and many of our principals shared video links on the power of twitter and FB to staffs#ncadmin
Our instructional facilitators are leading a PD session later this week, and I encouraged our teachers to attend. #Ncadmin
@davidstegall Agreed! I can't speak enough of how my Twitter PLN has made me a better School Leader. #Ncadmin
As an LEA we will continue the practice of a Collaborative Arts PLC between 14 districts' teachers that we host thx2 @jaymelinton#ncadmin
#ncadmin We have a tech instruction facilitator position, I want to use that position to help faculty grow their use of twitter as PLC tool
Great sharing so far! On to Q2: Please share a story how being connected has made an impact on your practice? #ncadmin
@LinkJeffery I'd be glad to have our district instructional facilitator match up with yours to plan some ideas. #ncadmin
@davidstegall @LinkJeffery Definitely sounds like u all r on the same page as far as innovative practice! #ncadmin I hope others see & share
A2: For @jaymelinton and I, twitter has led to published articles, book chapters and training of other districts thx to connections #ncadmin
A2: Twitter connections led to publication of an article & book chapter with @davidstegall. #ncadmin
A2: I created my school's first Twitter account, @AshbrookHS, to simply promote the good news of the school. #Ncadmin
a2: as a result, other groups within the school @AshbrookBooster,@AshbrookFB, @AshbrookRelay have followed along. #Ncadmin
A2: I've connected w/ others in higher ed via Twitter and shared practices for improving teacher preparation. #ncadmin
I've just started my new school but I plan on continuing using Twitter to connect to my community! #ncadmin
A2: Had the opportunity to co-teach an EdS course w/ IMPACT admins and shared power of Twitter. Many now use Twitter.#ncadmin
Through commenting and sharing on articles, led to sharing of resources and personal contacts from Oregon/Washington area#ncadmin
A2: My list @CSmithGoBlue/ncadmin has hopefully connected those state-wide looking to create a PLN. #Ncadmin
Being an active member of my PLN has allowed me to share middle school education ideas & utilize documents in my new job. #ncadmin
@mccoyderek When you shared that at Pinehurst, I set out to use, but never put into practice- but will. #ncadmin
Using social tools to develop my PLN has allowed me to collaborate & learn from amazing educators across NC & the world! #ncadmin
My PLN allows my blog, along with the blogs of others, to be shared easily with the focus of professional growth and leadership.#Ncadmin
#ncadmin My new staff has expressed an interest, and some anxiety, about learning new tools! I'm sharing this chat to demo the growth impact
Let's keep the conversation going Q3: We hope #ncadmin chat will help u in ur practice - what topics would you like to see covered?
@mccoyderek I hope to provide an informal PD in September to any staff interested in learning. #Ncadmin
#ncadmin My new staff has expressed an interest, and some anxiety, about learning new tools! I'm sharing this chat to demo the growth impact
The ideas, resources and support that I receive daily from my PLN is so valuable to the work that I do everyday! #ncadmin #ce12
@CSmithGoBlue I'm going to be leading PD for tech credit on PLN building! Maybe we could do something statewide thru #ncadmin
By having PLN, I’m not limited to discussing ideas in my district, I can access a group of connected educators across the globe. #ncadmin
#ncadmin master scheduling and empowering teachers in this process. Also, allowing them to see how difficult this is
@CSmithGoBlue starting 1st with staff interested is the way to go, takes out fear of unknown, slow wave of curiosity can develop#ncadmin
A future topic could be application of technology into various curricular areas. Best practice of implementation in your building.#ncadmin
A3: I'd love to explore the flipped faculty mtg concept (see @plugusinblog posts http://bit.ly/RyLAnR) #ncadmin
A3: Creative ideas for dropout prevention, ELL strategies, and teacher empowerment ideas are all ideas I'd love to discuss#ncadmin #ce12
A3: Agreed on everything CCSS/NCES; I would like to dIscuss various parts of the NC Teacher Evaluation and rubric. #Ncadmin
A3 Keep them coming! Anybody else interested in alternative discipline, creative scheduling and community partnerships#ncadmin
@ChrisStogdill In our district we gave EVERY employee a technology test & tiered their PD to their level. Put in Strategic Plan #ncadmin
@CSmithGoBlue: Yes some great events occurring during Connected Educators Month. http://connectededucators.org/cem/#ce12
RT @mtngirl3323: All for flipping the meeting! Any good experience with it? #ncadmin | I'd love to hear some local success stories
@ChrisStogdill Now our strategic plan states all employees have 2 do at least 4 tech PDs per year that we offer (tiered 2 needs) #ncadmin
The idea of flipped meetings sounds very interesting and I would love to hear more about it! #ncadmin #ce12
Flipped Meeting may be a good topic down the road, after we get an opportunity to implement first. #Ncadmin
#ncadmin we have a child and family support team that monitors this. Might need to include all faculty members in this #ncadmin
kelli howe @mtngirl3323
kelli howe @mtngirl3323
We are looking for some great things with #ncadmin and want to be impactful to more people - any suggestions for reaching more?
Just read about flipped faculty meeting...sounds like a good way to empower teachers, makes the admin a facilitator, not dictator#ncadmin
#ncadmin like mr. Link and I posted, make it a big deal at your school. 85% goal. Share articles that r shared here. Sparks interest
@davidstegall: Great idea! Would love to hear more about your PD plan and the response from your employees! #ncadmin
@nmangum For most, like many new things, they were resistant, but w quality sessions they saw value & began implementing. R in Yr 2#ncadmin
My goal for this year is to get my staff to utilize online collaborative tools like twitter and diigo to enhance our PLN's! #ncadmin #ce12
@mccoyderek: I think #ncadmin chat is a great idea! Maybe selecting alt day or time might help draw in more people...Tues is also#edchat
@CSmithGoBlue A4: Someone had a great idea about using the NCDPI list server, and how about NCASA? #ncadmin
All: Your homework assignment is to invite someone to the next#ncadmin chat, and they HAVE to participate. #Ncadmin
I'm going to dive into Pinterest! I think its a high interest piece I can capitalize on some teacher's curiosity! #ncadmin
@mccoyderek: Yes! Pinterest is something that many tchrs are already using in their personal lives so it would be an easy segway!#ncadmin
@mccoyderek I agree. Most of your teachers are probably using it already. I'm using it in one of my courses this fall. #ncadmin
Thanks @mccoyderek and CSmithGoBlue for organizing this chat. It's gonna be a great learning experience. #ncadmin
Really enjoyed the ncadmin chat tonight. Some really good stuff!
