love it! librarians the secret weapon!!
11:00 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Yes, that is great Peggy.
11:03 - Susie @shighley
I was going to say that too, Peggy
11:06 - Peggy George
:-)
11:12 - Susie @shighley
How great to include preservice teachers
13:08 - Susie @shighley
Are there advantages to PlayPosit over EdPuzzle?
13:22 - Peggy George
I agree Susie! They get to learn alongside the veteran teachers and get such a great start with developing a professional learning approach to their teaching.
14:16 - Susie @shighley
That's amazing. How cool!
14:19 - Peggy George
what an exciting reason to use PlayPosit :-)
14:20 - Patti Ruffing
we had them on the show when they were called EduCanon
15:02 - Peggy George
https://sites.google.com/psdschools.org/edtech/resources/digital-tools-catalog (PSD EdTech Digital Tools Catalog)
15:20 - Peggy George
that's right Patti! I hadn't made the connection between EduCanon and PlayPosit!
15:29 - @plnaugle (Paula)
That's a great community outreach using the people from PlayPosit.
15:35 - Susie @shighley
As a librarian, I would have loved to test drive, too
16:14 - Peggy George
Are all of those tools able to be used on both computers and mobile devices?
16:41 - Peggy George

16:41 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Are any of your schools 1:1? What devices are available in your schools?

what an awesome service!!
20:22 - @bcdtech Maureen
I was also going to invest in more Cubetto for K-2 Very successful last year
20:54 - @bcdtech Maureen
Do you use makerbot or?
21:18 - Peggy George
Hi Peg Volak! So glad you could join us! :-)
21:57 - Peg Volak
Hello! Need more time in the day!
22:02 - Peggy George
How does your reservation system work? How long can teachers check an item out?
22:05 - @bcdtech Maureen
I love the little mouse bots- waaay cheaper than beebots too
23:01 - Patti Ruffing
Am I understanding correctly that in Mike's district there are tech coaches who push into the classroom to help guide activities or do they just train teachers and teachers conduct the activities themselves?
23:29 - @bcdtech Maureen
Is the Sparkfun redbot like the Edison robots or more advanced?
23:43 - Peggy George
Mike, are your teachers evaluated on their use of technology in their classrooms? Is it a required school/teacher goal/objective?
25:41 - Peggy George
this is the link for the page Mike is showing us now so you can explore it more later. https://sites.google.com/psdschools.org/edtech/resources/digital-tools-catalog
26:01 - @bcdtech Maureen
what kinds of kits do you use that are aligned to elementary science standards?
26:34 - Peggy George
that is a great question Patti! I'd love to hear more about how that works.
26:54 - Peggy George
just learning about cospaces! amazing!
27:53 - Peggy George
https://cospaces.io/
28:35 - @bcdtech Maureen
@ Peggy I tried out cospaces with a small group of kids last year- they liked it, but our bandwidth doesn't really support it - very laggy. Altho it may be better now- cospaces has evolved pretty quickly
29:25 - Peggy George
very interesting Maureen! Thanks!
30:47 - Peggy George
They have some great tutorials for these tech tools on their site: https://sites.google.com/psdschools.org/edtech/resources/tutorials

32:19 - @bcdtech Maureen
Do you have teachers who say that they do not "have time" to integrate the tools you demo/teach? Or has your community become more comfortable and adept at adaptations to typical curriculum.
32:35 - @bcdtech Maureen
*comfortable
32:39 - Peggy George
that sounds like an awesome day! Are you streaming any part of it for people who don't live in one of those districts?
32:59 - Doug Henry (San Leandro, CA)
Do you use any online learning for teachers or students?
33:16 - Peggy George
Hi Wes! So glad you could pop in :-)
33:28 - @wfryer Wes Fryer
:-)
34:02 - @bcdtech Maureen
yes
34:52 - Peggy George
that's definitely encouraging to have your teaching colleagues show how they use tech and are willing to partner with you to support your learning!
35:37 - Peggy George
wow! awesome to be able to provide some financial incentive for teachers to share their stories! very rare!

Do teachers have regularly scheduled meetings with the tech coach or do they just schedule a meeting as needed?

I really like this idea.
38:20 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Invited my new assistant principal to my class as we did a Google Hangout with two other classes to stack our Oreos for Jen Wagner's O.R.E.O. Project (http://theoppbj.weebly.com/) and then we played a competitive Kahoot game which I screen shared. The Kahoot game was on the flavors of Oreos (15 of them). She loved it.

40:00 - Peggy George
Do teachers see each other's Lesson Refresh ideas so they can help each other (like finding videos for her project)?

I taught science before I was a librarian-- never had resources like this, although I'm trying to picture a district of 50 schools. We have few in our state that are that large
43:22 - Peggy George
how expensive is it Wes?
44:25 - Peggy George
I love the consistent use of the term "partnerships" in everything they do!

45:34 - Peggy George
Our Town could work as a model for any town :-)
45:50 - Susie @shighley
Great idea. Our district tried something like that, but the follow through and time were not there
45:55 - @bcdtech Maureen
Just looking thru the LSOP stuff and http://www.cmmap.org/ Cool stuff! Love the flash science videos.
46:42 - Peggy George
How long did it take to actually create Our Town? Was it primarily done during the summer? Were teachers paid to participate in the curriculum development?
46:45 - @wfryer Wes Fryer
Not sure on $ now but need to revisit that
47:06 - @wfryer Wes Fryer
Love this "our town" project!!!!
47:15 - @bcdtech Maureen
@Susie- My district is 2 schools- preK-6 and 7-12... about 600 kids total. Hard to get groups of teachers out of their little bubbles when there are so few.
47:21 - Peggy George
Maureen that link didn't work. Can you check it?

@Peggy- cannot get that one to open... but it is referenced here http://www.sciencebuzz.org/buzz-tags/cmmap

Do most of your teachers use a learning management system such as Edmodo or Google Classroom?
56:43 - Peggy George

57:32 - @bcdtech Maureen
Edison - low threshold and inexpensive
57:54 - @bcdtech Maureen
those little learning resource mice are easy cheesy too
58:27 - Peggy George
thanks Maureen
58:49 - Peggy George
I'll add that to the Livebinder
58:53 - MFosterPSD
I love the Mice
59:23 - Peggy George
Foss kits are so expensive to maintain with the consumable materials
59:37 - @bcdtech Maureen
Perhaps too specific, but do you use American Button Machines or another make? Putting together a request and have not used them...

wonderful concept! Little Shop of Physics that travels around to districts!

St Thomas squishy circuits
1:01:31 - @bcdtech Maureen
@Peggy- I'm asking for $ for the consumables from a local foundation. It's hard to replace all the stuff. I also want them to take stuff home. Altho the catapults we made the other day I kept at school- thought the bus drivers would be upset

I used squishy circuits in 4th grade. They love it too. Now that I have a STEAM space I plan to do a lot more with it
1:02:29 - Peggy George
great idea Maureen!
1:02:49 - Peggy George
Thanks Mike! That would be awesome!! Would love to see some of the conference!

I love how much financial support they have for teacher participation in these projects! Very rare (especially in AZ)!!
