@LutzSchool @MrsLakesClass @marimancusi @hubofschool @DalyLutzK8 @aralwood Wow!

@ajpodchaski Using tech tools like #noveleffect can bring students into read-alouds who normally wouldn't be as engaged.

@KathrynMannes @ajpodchaski Searches are often lifesavers!

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@jchristie23 Sometimes written notes are best. However, using Google Keep on their smart devices can come in as a close second.

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@ajpodchaski @GetRocketbook Looks interesting!

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@StateDept @SecBlinken @UN @ZelenskyyUa Is it just me, or does @SecBlinken look very tired? I sincerely hope he's getting enough sleep. Also at 1:13 he makes a good point--peace by acknowledging conquest is no peace at all.

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@sarahhanawald I'll second that!

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@ajpodchaski At least you got to the goal! Sometimes what we think we need to achieve something is different from what we actually wind up doing. #edtechchat

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@ajpodchaski A1: I'd have to say I'm more goal-oriented. I prefer to arrange edtechnology to reach an objective, rather than use it for its own sake. #edtechchat

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

I'm Ed, a Ed Tech III at a elementary/middle school "learning commons"--our STEM-inspired library. #edtechchat

Welcome to #edtechchat! Please introduce yourself and where you're joining us from!

@OpenAI Seems to be advancing rapidly from a chatbot to an actual general AI assistant of sorts. Something far more capable than a simple Siri. #AI

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@FixingEducation Frightening that someone is even attempting to market this. Doesn't seem like a real solution--just more instruments to throw at a problem other societies have solved (or don't have at all). #yikes

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@AggieAshley Agreed. Can very quickly lead to burnout. It's also a reason we need to practice self-care so often! #edchat

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@mamalita64 @mackinclassroom It's part of the school. We are a center of lots of forms of learning, from STEM to themed reading! #edchat

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@HarveyAlvy1 I wish there was more support in relation to socio-emotional learning, especially post-covid19. Alot of what we do now is related to that, as without good socio-emotional skills, learning doesn't happen! #edchat

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@MstrJayWill I agree with the point about staff environments--a bad environment can quickly burn even the best teachers out! #edchat

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@Teachers__Unite Very true, lol. Teachers/education professionals often work far past their scheduled hours to go above and beyond for their charges! #edchat

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@HarveyAlvy1 @DianeRavitch @MonteSyrie Elementary library/learning commons aide here. Meetings can be useful, if focused on a relevant topic. #edchat

[Ed Frankonis @EdFrankonisIII]

@AggieAshley Elementary library aide here. How do we get the public to embrace that shift? And where should the shift happen first? #edchat
