In this episode of “ Ask the Tech Coach (https://www.teachercast.net/episodes/ask-the-tech-coach/) ,” Nick and Jeff take a look at the many ways that school districts can assess the technology skills of staff members.

In this episode of the TechEducator Podcast (https://www.teachercast.net/tep) , we discuss how Social Media can be used as a positive thing in the classroom environment.  In this episode, we discuss: Google I/O ConferenceNew Google Assistant can make phone calls for you New Gmail Features Is this the end of the world? Social Media in the ClassroomBest Practices for Social Media Account Creation 11 Tips for Social Media Success by Sam PattersonOnce a day, share something specific. Take a close up picture of one kid’s work, get their hands in there. Don’t engage the current debateThat new thing everybody is ranting about? Ignore it, it isn’t important. The debate is more energy than it is worth. Follow widely unfollow freelyIf you are a teacher, follow teachers. If you are running a classroom account, follow classroom accounts. Unfollow at the first sign of trouble. Never feel guilty about unfollowing. Don’t show your students the raw feed unless you have a good reason. Expect your kids and parents to read your feed They won’t read all your posts, but they will see every mistake you make. Make the right ones. Lift up someone else’s workShare the work of the teachers and classrooms you follow. This is an easy way to stay active and share positive. Ask questions If you see a project you like, ask a question. People love to answer questions about what they shared. Everybody learns from good questions. Chats aren’t required People can get really excited about Twitter chats, you don’t have to. They can be overwhelming and they are not for everyone. Turn notifications off Seriously, evil corporations are reshaping your brain’s chemistry through notifications. I am not kidding, turn that crap off. Use threads to tie together a group of examples Post a “Title tweet” that has the name of the assignment and then “thread” the rest of the examples as replies. Interact with those who feed your practice. If you find someone’s tweet useful or inspiring, tell them. Don’t just RT it, say “thanks” it matters. Never forget these platforms were built to monetize outrage and disagreement, don’t make money for them. We left 3 important points off of this list. . . . . What are they?

On this episode of the TechEducator Podcast (https://www.teachercast.net/tep) , we reflect on a recent workshop that I attended that focused on best practices for providing professional development sessions to adults. Many of us have experience getting up in front of students every day and know how to create a dynamic lesson in our classrooms, but do we really know how to present to adults in a way that allows them to walk away feeling good about a multi-hour workshop? In this episode, we tackle several strategies for creating a seamless presentation with helpful resources for an audience of all backgrounds.
