MSSGregory: @CatieWood good idea #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:51:54 pm

mthman: I plan to look for school/community "math problems" for Ss to work on...#midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:50:32 pm

CatieWood: @MSSGregory theres a teacher at myschool that made a fan page for students & parents to like and get updates, but dsnt require it #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:50:27 pm

padgets: #midleved well my friends time to go, thank you all for the great chat take care stay safe tweet you all soon :) Fri Jul 22 - 8:48:43 pm

mrsdkrebs: @mthman Great idea to involve parents and perhaps really help them solve a problem. #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:47:25 pm

mthman: My math priority is to get parents to share their work-related "math problems" for Ss to struggle with...develop solutions. #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:46:08 pm

glamrat: No Google apps access here or Skype or FB or Twitter. I hunt for Web 2.0 resources that are not blocked such as Edmodo. #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:46:02 pm

mthman: @rachelacraig Same here...always seems to be a timeliness issue. I need to engage them on their SM/tech level #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:44:33 pm

padgets: #midleved for me once I showed how I used it......it became a priority to make it easier to use Fri Jul 22 - 8:43:44 pm

Twilliamson15: @MSSGregory def check district policies on friending students...esp. Since they are under 13 #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:43:21 pm

rachelacraig: @mthman not as often as I should -- this is an our our whole school needs to work on #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:42:48 pm

mthman: @vswinger @padgets Our district would allow Skype if it wasn't such a "bandwidth issue!" Ugh! #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:42:29 pm

mthman: Do you use parents in your class...ask for input/feedback? #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:41:31 pm

rachelacraig: @Twilliamson15 that is a great idea because it helps parents become more invested too! #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:41:23 pm

MSSGregory: @Twilliamson15 they all have accounts but I wasn't sure if it would be appropriate to use with 6th graders #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:41:19 pm

mthman: @mrsdkrebs @padgets I try to have Ss update our FB page from my computer. #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:40:52 pm

mthman: @mrsdkrebs I maintain a class FB account via my login, Ss cannot access FB via theirs! #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:40:25 pm

padgets: @rachelacraig #midleved very easy to use great support and looks like Facebook Fri Jul 22 - 8:39:40 pm

mrsdkrebs: :( Surprised FB but not Skype RT @mthman: @padgets district will not allow Skype. We can FB, twitter, blog, etc., but not Skype! #midleved Fri Jul 22 - 8:39:35 pm

mthman: Always ask the Ss!
