00:06 - Peg Volak
I keep hoping they'd make a position in our Elem. buildings! Someday I hope!
00:08 - Peggy George
learning stations have been around a long time but not always used effectively! I remember when teachers used them as a place for kids to go when they finished their "work"
00:11 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Paula here from New Orleans. I teach 4th graders ELA and social studies.
00:31 - Susie @shighley
When I first read that, I thought it was "international" learning centers
00:36 - Peggy George
Hi Laura!!!! So happy you could join us today!! Thanks for sharing our show on Facebook with all of your followers!!
00:38 - Russel
Thanks...I'll take a virtual gold star...:)
00:50 - Peggy George
Hi Jo Ann! Welcome!
01:02 - Peggy George
You've got it Russel!! :-)
01:28 - Russel
Nice to get one so early in the day.
01:31 - Peggy George
We are thrilled to have Brittany here to share with us today! Love this topic!!
01:35 - Laura Candler 1
Hi Peggy! Sorry I'm late. I had trouble figuring out how to watch on my Mac because it asked for Adobe Flash. I had to switch to my PC because I didn't have time to troubleshoot the issue.
01:55 - Peggy George
interesting Susie!!! could also be international!!
01:57 - Brittany Miller
No worries! Thank you for joining us!
02:39 - Peggy George

02:47 - Peggy George
hearing you great Brittany!
02:47 - Anthippi Harou
yes
02:48 - Lorie Moffat
@Laura: The Collaborate app runs in memory, and now incorporates Flash.
02:54 - Patti Ruffing
I think of Lodge McCammon for Friday Institute

03:14 - Lorie Moffat
On a MacBook, I've had to use Firefox to run Collaborate.
03:27 - Peg Volak
@Laura ...on my Mac, if I select the short URL I get an Adobe message too. I click on full link now.
03:27 - Peggy George
wow Patti! I didn't make that connection! Great to know!!
03:41 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Wasn't Dr. Lodge part of the Friday Institute? I learned how to have my students make paper slide videos from him.
03:50 - Peggy George
Hi Kati Searcy! So happy you could join us!

Great intro Maureen! Thanks!!!
04:42 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Aww, Kati, the feeling is mutual.
04:55 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Hi Laura and welcome.

there's the connection with Lodge McCammon!! Flipped Learning :-)
06:01 - Susie @shighley
I don't think I've heard the term "enriched virtual" before

06:55 - Laura Candler 1
Thanks for explaining the different models because I wasn't clear about these terms.
07:08 - Peggy George
this is a great overview of the various blended learning models!
07:40 - @bcdtech Maureen
I hadn't realized that there were that many different models!
08:22 - Peggy George
I love that Brittany uses these models for PD so teachers get to see how they would work in their classrooms
09:17 - Peggy George
so helpful to hear how to respond to these myths today! I'm sure they will sound familiar to us!
09:31 - Peggy George
love Mythbusters! Yes Discovery!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MythBusters
11:15 - Peggy George
this is true for so many things with technology! Use it for what you're already doing to enhance it! Doesn't have to be considered an "add-on"

11:58 - @bcdtech Maureen
I like using station rotations to make a more UDL classroom. Stations can make it easier to be sure that no students are disadvantaged by one method
12:45 - Peggy George
great Maureen!!! Such a perfect way to differentiate learning for all!

not just for elementary!! :-) great for all levels in K-12 and the university too!
13:24 - Laura Candler 1
Thanks Peg Volak for that tip!
14:04 - Suzanne Sallee
Video play from Catlin Tucker on Blended Learning: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYmYDLb2oJqGQOvjZHPhO4ulIuiUvNYNS
14:25 - @bcdtech Maureen
We did this as teachers in our "coaching" sessions.
14:38 - Peggy George
fantastic Suzanne! I love Catlin Tucker!!! She is such a fantastic teacher!
15:01 - Susie @shighley
It's a good way to organize things if you do not have enough materials for each student to do an activity at the same time. For example, when I taught science, there might be expensive equipment at one station
15:10 - Peggy George
Hi Sawa! Welcome! Thanks for joining us!
15:30 - Sawa
Hello Peggy! 😀😁
16:05 - Laura Candler 1
Love Padlet!
16:05 - Peggy George
great point about assessment in each station!
16:15 - Peggy George
http://app.wizer.me/ (Wizer)
16:22 - Peggy George
Wizer is a new tool for me!
16:24 - @bcdtech Maureen
I would add flipgrid to my list :-)
16:37 - Anthippi Harou
It is an awesome tool!!!
16:50 - Peggy George
I agree Maureen! Flipgrid is a great tool!
17:04 - Anthippi Harou
I like the audio feature it contains!
17:08 - Kati Searcy 1
My students (upper elem) love responding in Flipgrid.
17:08 - Peggy George
that's a real bonus with wizer.me--foreign language support!
17:16 - Suzanne Sallee
Padlet has added so many new features!
17:41 - Peggy George
Anthippi! Do you use wizer.me?
17:46 - terrischulz
flipgrid? what's that?
17:55 - Peggy George
https://padlet.com/ (Padlet)
18:09 - Peggy George
https://goformative.com/ (Formative)
18:25 - Peggy George
https://info.flipgrid.com/
18:30 - Peg Volak
Wizer.me keeps popping up on my calendar to check out...I guess I heard of it one time and wrote it down to investigate! Have to check it out!
18:37 - Peggy George
I'll add Flipgrid to our Livebinder after the show :-)
18:44 - Peg Volak
Socrative
19:04 - @bcdtech Maureen
Padlet gets better and better
19:05 - Peggy George
fun Peg!!! What a great way to remember what you wanted to check out!
19:07 - Sheri Edwards
I like Socrative
19:33 - Peggy George
I agree Maureen! Padlet is really becoming such a valuable, diverse tool for so many kinds of sharing and collaborating!
20:00 - Jessie McKinley
Love goformative for the realtime feedback
20:23 - Peggy George
Jessie did a webinar for us awhile back with several colleagues from his district that was all about formative assessment tools :-)
21:20 - @bcdtech Maureen
I just bought some pegboard to use in my makerspace...thinking marble runs, etc. But first I need to have the kids design pvc stands to hold them...
22:17 - Kati Searcy 1
Poll Everywhere has added a ton of new tools to mini-assess students. https://www.polleverywhere.com
22:46 - Peggy George
written conversations :-) need that link :-)
23:08 - @bcdtech Maureen
sounds like thinglink... only analog
23:20 - Peggy George
Maureen I love how you make student voice/choice integral in your teaching!
23:27 - Anthippi Harou
@Peggy One of the wizer.me worksheets I have created in preview mode https://app.wizer.me/preview/TVQA7R
23:40 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Have students compose a tweet (now 280 characters) to sum up what they learned at the station.
23:51 - Peggy George
going great Brittany :-)
24:09 - Peggy George
Please post any questions you have for Brittany and Lorie will ask her during the Q/A
24:12 - Susie @shighley
I like the way you have given us so many examples for activities
24:15 - Sheri Edwards
Thank you Anthi !
24:18 - Peggy George
amazing multitasking Brittany!!!
24:29 - Kati Searcy 1
Visible Thinking Routines are great. http://www.visiblethinkingpz.org/VisibleThinking_html_files/03_ThinkingRoutines/03a_ThinkingRoutines.html
24:31 - Peggy George
thank you so much Anthippi! I'll add that to our Livebinder!
24:41 - Brittany Miller
Written Conversations: http://bit.ly/2hzRhnn
24:42 - Peggy George
oh great link Kati!!! Thank you!
24:48 - terrischulz
I like...I wonder- awesome simple way to gather student feedback and get them reflecting on the learning! thx-
24:49 - Anthippi Harou
I have no problem, Peggy!
25:05 - Peggy George
wonderful Anthippi!
25:15 - Jessie McKinley
Awesome slide!
25:16 - Peg Volak
Love the add-on Anyone Can View....to share to everyone by Alice Keeler! (Maybe Matt Miller too??)
27:06 - Peggy George
This was the webinar that Jessie & Madison colleagues did back in 2015 re digital assessment tools & strategies http://live.classroom20.com/archive-and-resources/digital-assessment-tools
27:16 - Peg Volak
Teaches them to READ and follow directions!
28:03 - Peggy George
they talked about Plickers, Socrative, AnswerGarden, Kahoot, and Google Forms :-)
28:09 - @bcdtech Maureen
Do you ever use a Hyperdoc to start off ... then students choose stations to engage with? Rather than rotate, rotate, etc. Probably not with littles, but upper elem and up...
28:11 - Peggy George
I love this activity!!
28:25 - Sheri Edwards
Yes And link is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe2a3ppacUk
28:41 - Jessie McKinley
Improv game!
28:44 - Susie @shighley
Using "Yes, and.." stressed several times at the recent AASL
28:44 - Peggy George
video instructions for Yes, and... http://bit.ly/2y4ttm4
29:06 - Peggy George
so much better than saying "yes, but..."
29:10 - @plnaugle (Paula)
@Peg V - When my students do a BreakoutEDU game, they get stumped often because they do NOT read and follow the directions. But they soon learn how important that is if they want to open the locks.
29:13 - @bcdtech Maureen
Love this game
29:15 - Jessie McKinley
Thx Peggy!
29:42 - Peggy George
excellent point Paula!! I know a lot of adults who have the same problem in life!! :-)
30:03 - Anthippi Harou
That's true!
30:06 - Kati Searcy 1
genius idea - move the station!
30:10 - Jessie McKinley
Cool tip!
30:12 - Peggy George
http://app.wizer.me/learn/81T1SG (Collaborative reflection link on her earlier slide)
30:18 - Peggy George
love that tip!!!
30:29 - Peg Volak
So true @Paula! However, I put up AM directions and they never read it!

Larry Ferlazzo always has the best resources on his blog!!! Fabulous for ESL teachers!
32:42 - @bcdtech Maureen
but no more than x amount of students at each station...

33:48 - Peggy George
I used to use the Kagan overhead timer in meetings with teachers. It works great! But the online tools are always available and also work great!
34:19 - Peggy George
https://www.kaganonline.com/catalog/ETT/
34:48 - Peggy George
having a timer keeps the teacher from constantly talking and "nagging" :-)
34:54 - Suzanne Sallee

35:08 - Peggy George
thanks Suzanne!!! That's a new one for me!
35:26 - Suzanne Sallee
Peggy, you will love it!
35:48 - Peggy George
be sure to post your questions for Brittany here in the chat and Lorie will ask her during Q/A if she hasn't already answered it
36:43 - Peggy George
and I found that once they were familiar with the routines for learning stations it didn't require detailed explanations every time!
37:06 - Peggy George
Hi Dejan! I didn't see you come into the room! Thanks for joining us every week!!
37:11 - Kati Searcy 1
@Suzanne - Classroom Screen looks awesome !!! Thanks for sharing

You are welcome, Kati.
37:41 - Kati Searcy 1
fabulous, Brittany - I have so many new ideas now
37:54 - Peggy George
Brittany, can you give us some specific examples of how you have used stations with your teacher or administrator PD?
38:02 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Do you do station rotations every day?
38:25 - Peggy George
Are administrators reluctant to participate in hands-on learning centers or excited?? :-)
38:37 - Peggy George
I love Hyperdocs!!!!!
39:07 - Peggy George
https://hyperdocs.co/
39:11 - Kati Searcy 1
I'm going to use this in PD classes, too
39:16 - Peggy George
Yes!!! TPACK! SAMR! :-)
39:59 - Peg Volak
Thank you so much!
40:09 - Peggy George
I think any time you can get them moving with hands-on activities and conversations they learn more and use it after the experience :-)
40:20 - Peggy George
thanks Brittany! great examples!

40:53 - Russel
With regard to the 4 C's can you recommend an online whiteboard app for sharing re collaboration
41:02 - Brittany Miller
Aww app!
41:06 - Peg Volak
I like 3, 20-minute stations for my 2nd graders. The first rotation is always the roughest! They are excited!
41:20 - Peggy George

42:10 - Jessie McKinley
Aww can be shared with students
42:11 - Russel
