I have such amazing memories of connecting with great educators and discovering that so many of us have the same issues no matter where we are from.

Hello all. What's on your mind tonight? #edtechchat

We survived!

Hey. I'm Tammy from northern Florida. Needing some love tonight. #edtechchat

How my day started.

Looking for ideas for 15 minute timed builds in Minecraft Edu. We're trying to get enough that our middle school students don't repeat their builds each week. That's 3 years worth of ideas. We have a small platform for them to build in, so we have to be careful what we ask.

Having some fun today. When the students are caught up on their code, they get to come to me and call me a 'toe sniffer'. There has been tons of laughter today already.

Until tonight I didn't even realize it was March Madness season. Yes, I knew it is March. I just don't focus on anything but esports. #edtechchat

I'm here and running behind. #edtechchat

So many students don't know how to analyze text for themselves. Relying on AI will only weaken these skills. Much like using a calculator before you understand arithmetic can keep a person from learning higher level math. The underlying learning is key to advancing. #edtechchat

A4: We have to first understand that true learning is more about the individual and less about the subject. Learning is a deeper understanding. Content creation doesn't have to have any substance to go viral. #edtechchat

School was about a collective knowledge base. There is a true need for our citizens to have a basic understanding of the world around them. Hopefully, some of them even begin to realize that true learning is up to the individual, not the school/teacher/college. #edtechchat

Even when I was in school, I don't think school was truly about learning. The learning happened outside of school. #edtechchat

A3: We change the type of activities. We have to ask the higher order questions. Support our students as they dig deeper. Most of us have never experienced true learning. It's not so easy. A person must be dedicated to doing the work of learning. #edtechchat

A2: Learning is often messy. Not necessarily on paper, but in the mind. Putting the pieces together so they make sense often starts with just a pile of information.

#edtechchat

A1: Teaching should be about sparking the desire to learn. When all you do is test prep, remember that isn't true teaching. #edtechchat

Good evening! I'm Tammy from North Florida. #edtechchat
