#IDedchat Archive - April 22, 2015 - Summer Learning and Connected Educators.

Tonight we discussed what summer learning means - professional and personal. We also discussed what it means to be a "connected educator" - both with and without technology tools. There are some tweets missing from the archive due to protected accounts.

#IDedchat Archive - Feb 4, 2015 - Using Tech in the Classroom and a #IETA15 debrief.

Tonight's chat focused on new things we have been trying in the classroom. OR, new things we plan to try in the classroom. Many #IDedchat tweeps recently attended the IETA conference; so, we also used this chat to process learning from that event. Two huge take-aways from that conference: 1. When it comes to tech in the classroom, the learning has to be the focus - not the tech. 2. Connections and Relationships with like minded educators deepen learning! It was fantastic to meet face to face with so many educators that we interact with all the time virtually!

#IDedchat Theme Song: B52s "Your Own Private Idaho" ;-)

Simon Miller (also known as @LeadEdTech) and I decided that this should be the theme song for our statewide PLN - #IDedchat.  We are growing - so our "private" Idaho is getting more visibility; but, this video is a blast from the past that is just....well...FUN!

Don't forget to join us for our weekly #IDedchat chat - Wednesdays at 8:00 MST.  Check Twitter for topics.  Once a month we join a six state collaboration (Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Nevada) called #westedchat.  See you on Twitter!!
