@jennygr4 Thank you for moderating this Jenny!

A5: Social Media also creates a PLN where we can turn to ask specific questions and have excellent and thoughtful answers #edtech207

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

@jennygr4 It depends on the day!

A5: Cons to SM: I am managing social situations from outside school time, there is a lack of civility in general that I contribute to SM, have I mentioned I waste time? ;) #edtech207

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

A5: There are pros: connections to other teachers/librarians, connect to authors, great ideas and connection to global community.

@jennygr4 Thought I would use my time wisely Since I can't get the videos to play...

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

This evening I followed the #edchat chat... it was active. I suggest it if you are looking for another chat to join #edtech207

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

@RCassmaine I agree... I am concerned about privacy and very careful what I post and what students are connected to. I also wonder about the time... since it can be such a rabbit hole.

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

@RCassmaine @jennygr4 I love the title!

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

When communicating with families I found FB worked the best. Most parents are on their already. I used a private group and it was the most efficient #teched207

I find when I am on SM for ed that I am overwhelmed with self-promotion and selling. But, I do find some valuable nuggets that have helped with my teaching and led to new connections #edtech207

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

@RCassmaine @jennygr4 I am wondering if blogging might be a better fit for the work you do. You can limit followers and share information. #edtech207

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

A3: For my PD I follow a few groups on FB where people share ideas, I follow librarians and authors on IG. I used to just use Twitter for PD but needed to stream line my time on SM... I still do! #edtech207

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

@ErinDrouin2 @jennygr4 I need to check out Bloomz! #edtech207

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

I think my first step will be to do a skype with an author or a guest reader. It shows them we can connect through social media in a positive way #edtech207

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

A2: I am not currently using social media. My students are so young and have had way too much screentime over since 3/20 #edtech207

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

I'm Diana a new school librarian in a K-2 school in Maine. #edtech207

Subs have shared with me that the amount of plans and materials they receive is all over the place. Some teachers leave nothing and others leave plenty of work. There needs to be a set expectation by admins on what is expected for sub plans. #edchat

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

Students need to be taught explicitly how to behave for a sub/guest teacher. I teach students how to make a sub feel welcome. If a sub has a difficult day, there are logical consequences which involve apologiaing and making a plan for next teim. #edchat

[Diana Marc-Aurele @marcaureled]

The sub situation as it is now leaves us open to a mixed quality of sub. Some are amazing retired teachers and others are people who have the college credits but no experience subbing. Permanent subs would allow for consistency #edchat
