@PaulSolarz Hey Paul. Can't stay long tonight, but wanted to drop in for a few.

Thanks Paul, it's great to "see" you again. Thanks for being so open to comments. #learnlap

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

@PaulSolarz You too.

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

@PaulSolarz email me if you want to discuss Florida more. I've lived in the Tampa Bay area (different areas within it, which can be very different) for the last almost 58 years and love it here.

Right now, No. I do an in person PD most Tuesdays at the University and then I do some others face to face in my district. #learnlap

LAST QUESTION 18 (Open-Ended):
Do you participate in professional development on other social media? Which tools or groups are your favorites? What makes them most beneficial? #LearnLAP

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

Either works. #learnlap

[Paul Solarz @PaulSolarz]

If we switch to a 30 minute chat, would a 7:30pm Central start time work for you all? Then, it could still back up to the #tlap chat at 8pm. #LearnLAP

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

Some other formats, short presentations, or other alternating options might be nice to change things up. #learnlap

[Paul Solarz @PaulSolarz]

QUESTION 12 (Poll):
Do you prefer that #LearnLAP remains a Q&A format where we ask an open-ended question and participants reply with answers that are true for them, or would you prefer a different format? Explain in your post.

(Polling ends in one hour.)

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

If shorter (30 mins) maybe 7:03, the intro time is nice start. #learnlap

[Paul Solarz @PaulSolarz]

QUESTION 10 (Poll):
Should we start with the first question right at 7:00pm Central or is having that five minute buffer when people are introducing themselves useful to help allow stragglers a little time to arrive?

(Polling ends in one hour.)

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

If reduce to 30 mins maybe 7:03, it's nice to intro first.

@PaulSolarz I'm in New Tampa. Everything, everywhere is getting pricy. It is not as bad up here, we don't have the riverwalk but we have some really nice parks

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

If fewer questions could go to 5 or 6 mins, otherwise 7 is good. #learnlap

[Paul Solarz @PaulSolarz]

QUESTION 8 (Poll):
Do you prefer that #LearnLAP keeps posting the questions seven minutes apart or would you prefer that the questions are posted faster or slower?

(Polling ends in one hour.)

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

@PaulSolarz I'm in Tampa, lots of choices in the Tampa bay area, some more downtown some more rural. Sarasota is nice but tends to be more expensive. We also seem to be in the sweet spot for storms so we are very fortunate

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

I haven't used other social media for chats so not sure which is best, 30 mins w/fewer Qs, the day and time work for me. #learnlap

[Paul Solarz @PaulSolarz]

QUESTION 4 (Open-Ended):
As we look at the future of #LearnLAP, what changes might we consider making (e.g. length of the chat, number of questions, format of the chat, topic choices, day or time of the week, social media platform, etc.)? Please explain if possible. Thank you!

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

Love the reminds #learnlap

[Jocelyn M. @jocelynmsanders]

@PaulSolarz A2: This is the only Twitter chat I participate in because I get reminders😊It's also the same time as Monday night football. I keep coming back because it was my first ever Twitter chat 💪🏾& it's a sow-sih chat with relevant topics #LearnLAP

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

maybe 30 mins rather than 60, I'm so exhausted at night and then still have work to do for school the next day #learnlap

[Paul Solarz @PaulSolarz]

QUESTION 3 (Open-Ended):
What can be done to make the #LearnLAP Twitter chat more valuable to you?

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

@PaulSolarz You should move to Florida. Summer is hot, but we are prepared with good AC, and honestly Chicago gets just as hot. Winter is never below freezing and only lasts a couple days at a time.

[laura vonstaden @docvs1]

Used to do edtech after dark, NotatISTE, and a couple that my district used to host, tlap #learnlap

[Paul Solarz @PaulSolarz]

QUESTION 2 (Open-Ended):
Do you participate in other Twitter chats? Which ones do you enjoy? What is it about those chats that keep you coming back? #LearnLAP
