A Combo Twitter & Hangout Chat on Project Based Learning Coming Soon



Something new is happening this month with #edchatHI, the monthly educational Twitter chat for Hawaii.

 Ta-dahhh! -- it's a combination Twitter and Google hangout chat!

 The topic? Project-based learning. 

 Here are the questions to ponder: 
Q1: What is PBL?
Q2: Why go PBL?
Q3: How do you roll out PBL to your teachers?
Q4: What barriers do you anticipate?
Q5: How will you measure the success of your PBL program?
Q6: What are some PBL resources, PBL practitioners to follow?
Resources to check out before the chat?
How School Leaders Set the Stage for PBL Success by Suzie Boss 
PBL Planning via Edutopia (½ way down page are PBL videos)
Special guests on the hangout will be Buffy Cushman-Patz (@buffycushman) and Nate Malinoski (@NateMalinoski), two educators who have a lot of experience with project-based learning.

 You can view the hangout, and ask questions live, here. 


Or you can watch the hangout and tweet away using the #edchatHI hashtag on Twitter.
Or you can do both. ☺

When will all of this happen?  

Mark your calendars: September 14, 2015 at 6 - 7 pm Hawaii Standard Time.

Please join us! 

Special mahalo to +Michael Fricano II, +JoAnn Jacobs, and +Michelle Carlson Colte for setting up this special event.

3 #GR8GoogleFinds #ThisWeek 05.01.15 - Textbooks, Google+ on Twitter, and Reference Users Wanted


It happened again -- all of my #GR8Finds #ThisWeek have to do with Google. What can I say? I find Google utterly fascinating. ☺

1. Textbooks using Google Docs

Can't wait to see more schools doing this!

2.  Google+ on Twitter

Google+ says this is its first tweet, but there were 36 previous tweets. It joined in 2011, and has 16k followers.  I guess Google+ is getting serious about participating on Twitter. I think this is a good thing!



 Here's +Martin Beck's take on the situation: Signs Of Social Life At Google+? Network Sends Out Its First Tweet

 3. Google is looking for reference users

Perfect for librarians, imo.

For Teachers: Harnessing Twitter with Paper.li -- an Interactive Newspaper


Many educators are sharing their Twitter content daily (twice-daily, or weekly) using paper.li, an interactive newspaper. SmallRivers is the Swiss-based company that created paper.li.

 Anyone can easily create (and delete) a paper, which could make for a transient experience. However, there are some Tweeters you can count on being there. And papers created from solid educational hashtags like #edchat and #edtechchat will always be around.

 Paper.li content can come from a variety of sources:


The possibilities and purposes are endless.

Could paper.li be used in the classroom? Of course! Think a student newspaper, a compilation of student writing/multi-media projects, for starters ...

 Here are some education-related dailies already on paper.li that I recommend:

Hashtag-based:
paper.li/tag/artsed The #artsed Daily (Arts Education)
paper.li/tag/cpchat The #cpchat Daily (Connected Principals)
paper.li/tag/edapp The #edapp Daily (Educational Apps)
paper.li/tag/edchat The #edchat Daily
paper.li/tag/edtech The #edtech Daily
paper.li/tag/education The #education Daily
paper.li/tag/elearning The #elearning Daily
paper.li/tag/elemchat (Elementary Ed)
paper.li/tag/engchat The #engchat Daily
paper.li/tag/globaled The #globaled Daily
paper.li/tag/gtchat The #gtchat Daily (Gifted and Talented Children)
paper.li/tag/lrnchat The #lrnchat Daily (similar to #edchat)
paper.li/tag/mathchat The #mathchat Daily
paper.li/tag/midleved The #midleved Daily (Middle School)
paper.li/tag/mlearning The #mlearning Daily (mobile)
paper.li/tag/musedchat The #musedchat Daily (music education)
paper.li/tag/ntchat The #ntchat Daily (New Teachers)
paper.li/tag/parenting The #parenting Daily
paper.li/tag/ptchat The #ptchat Daily (Parent-Teacher)
paper.li/tag/science The #science Daily
paper.li/tag/socialmedia The #socialmedia Daily
paper.li/tag/sschat The #sschat Daily (Social Science)
paper.li/tag/scichat  The #scichat Daily (Science)
paper.li/tag/tlchat The #tlchat Daily (Teacher-Librarians)
Created by influential individuals/organizations:
The classroom-teachers Daily (Free Technology for Teachers author Richard Byrne's classroom-teachers Twitter list)
The Steven W. Anderson Daily (Web20classroom author)


Want more? Find more papers or people at the paper.li newsstand.

 I recommend that you subscribe to paper.li newspapers, for most efficient use of your time. Receive a daily email containing the updated issue, and peruse the paper at your convenience. So convenient!


YES, I did create two papers myself: 

 The #GTANY Daily, which looks like a hashtag-created newspaper, but is really a newspaper created from Danny Silva's public list of Google Teacher Academy New York attendees. I must keep up with the doings of my cohort!

 And I just created The Teacher-Librarians Daily, from my public Twitter list of 435+ teacher-librarians that I continue to grow. "Checking the Twitter pulse of school librarians, daily" is of utmost importance to me.

 Paper.li is one of my favorite ways of harnessing Twitter. I highly recommend it!

 What about you? How do you tame Twitter?
