Fall 2013 Chat Schedule

#NCed Fall 2013 Chat Schedule

Parent Communication Recap

The September 17 #NCed chat focused on the topic of Parent Communication.  Understanding how to build partnerships with parents is such an important component of educating the whole child.  Although most #NCed Chat participants are proponents of using technology to connect with parents, most overwhelmingly agreed that face-to-face contact is best when possible. However, during the chat Tuesday, some amazing online resources and innovative ideas were shared.  Here are a few of those ideas:

·         Jessica Luby in Newton-Conover City Schools uses Facebook to connect with parents, to provide a platform for questions, and to address concerns.

·         Cheryl Rhea in Hickory City Schools uses Edmodo as a secure platform that only the teacher, students, and parents can access. 

·         Dayson Paison in Alamance-Burlington Schools uses Twitter, Instagram, and Vine to connect with parents.

·         Ashley Hurley suggested hosting a parent edcamp.

·         Chris Casal from the New York City Department of Education shared he is getting ready to use Google Hangout for parent conferences and does Twitter PD with parents.

·         Jeannie Smith in Jones County Schools shared that one of her colleagues uses QR codes to share video podcasts (created with Voc-A-Roo) that her students record with parents.  She also shared Teacher Kit app for iPad.

·         Angie Sigmon in Newton-Conover City Schools uses Remind 101 to send text reminder to the parents of her second grade students.

·         Jill Thompson in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools shared this resource which includes several digital platforms by which to connect to parents.

·         Raymond Giovanelli is a principal in Charlotte who does coffee chats, video records them, and uploads them to YouTube for parents who cannot attend.

·         David Schouweiler in Newton-Conover City Schools has created a Google Community for parents to connect with him.

A variety of non-tech strategies to connect with parents were also provided.  Some participants send greeting cards and letters to the homes of students to share positive behaviors or notes of welcome.  Others do tea and cookies with parents quarterly.  Jan King, Regional Lead for Regions 7 & 8 from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction shared that it is important to take the educational jargon out of our conversations with parents.  The concept of building strong, quality relationships was prevalent throughout the chat.  Building trust and compassion and following-through with ongoing communication are keys to developing a partnership with parents.

National Board Chat

Amid all of the unfortunate legislation in North Carolina, one bright spot is the decision to continue National Board pay for teachers.  The process of self-analysis and reflection as well as the emphasis on classroom instructional design and pedagogy are second to none in terms of educator growth.  In 2001, I began the National Board process because the 12% pay increase was appealing.  I had no children, and it seemed like a great time, six years into my career, to pursue this certification.  What I did not expect was an incredible, eye-opening learning experience that changed the way I thought about my students, my teaching, and my instructional choices forever. I have heard many NBCTs share the same sentiments about the process.  The design of the entries, the pouring over video footage of my own instruction, and the deep analysis of my instructional choices were eye-opening.  I honestly believe that my National Board journey was the first step in my evolution as an instructional leader.

Tonight's #NCed Chat will feature Beth Edwards, former NCDPI National Board Coordinator.  Beth still works for NCDPI as a Professional Development Consultant in Region 1, and she still works with National Board to support teaching and learning in North Carolina.  I have had the distinct honor of working with Beth for the past few years, and she is passionate about National Board and committed to serving educators across our state who seek this prestigious certification.  Currently, Beth is enrolled at the University of North Carolina - Wilmington - seeking an Ed.D. in Curriculum and Instruction.

During our August 6, 2013 chat, we will share and solicit information from North Carolina National Board Certified Teachers about how the process affected teaching and learning in their classrooms, structures in place for support for NBCTs across our state, and resources available to support candidates.  Join us at 8 pm as we explore the world of National Board Certification.

#NCed Chat Reaches Beyond State Line

Last night's #NCed chat was full of powerful insights and useful resources from educators from across North Carolina, the United States, and around the world.  For our fifth consecutive chat, #NCed chat trended on Twitter, and educators from seven states, Canada, and New Zealand shared their perspectives on PLCs - what makes them work, what makes educators buy in, and how to improve their quality. 

Dr. David Stegall, Associate Superintendent in Newton-Conover City Schools, and Amber Humphrey, Instructional Coach in Newton-Conover City Schools posed questions an honest and knowledgeable group of stakeholders who shared some of the following sentiments:

"PLCs are not meetings. They are communities of educators working together consistently to help students and educators alike. " - @WPrettyman

"The difference to me between PLC & other meetings revolve around action research/improving your craft while helping teammates improve." - @davidstegall

"PLCs should make practice public. #nced teachers should move beyond polite chat about teaching & dig into what happens inside black box." - @doccarpenter

"More than I can say, PLC have made me a better educator, I learn new ideas all the time - My best PLC is #nced and #21stedchat." - @EduThompson

"PLCs provide a place and time to say 'I need help.'" - @WilfongBrittany

"All begins with people & not programs. Spend time building trust so everyone views the Ss as everyone's responsibility to succeed." - @mattwachel

Our chats are becoming richer each week, and we are so excited to build our PLN with so many educators from around our state and beyond.

A Moderator's Perspective: Reflections on our First #NCed Chat

Co-moderating the inaugural #NCed chat on Twitter with Andrew Thomasson @thomasson_engl was quite an honor for me and exhilarating beyond words.  In my role as a Regional Professional Development Consultant for the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, I have been charged with the great responsibility of serving educators across our state and providing them with resources, information, and support they need to meet the needs of all students.   

Several educators joined us for the Tweetup at the Koury Convention Center at #13CCSA.  Many thanks to @jenniferlagarde and @mcdh109 for your support at the Tweetup.

 

As I worked with my #NCed team to prepare for our first Twitter chat, I couldn’t help but grow more and more excited about our goal to provide a platform for teachers across our state to grow their personal learning networks (PLNs), to share best practices and resources, and to provide opportunities for support and guidance.  Not only was I excited about the chance to connect virtually with educators across our state, but I was genuinely touched by the excitement around the chat.  

One of the greatest accomplishments of #NCed is that it is truly a collaborative effort among public school leaders, leaders in higher education, and leaders from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction.  We know that to meet the needs of our teachers and leaders, it takes all voices to gain perspective and to provide the best resources available.  Tuesday, March 26 was just the beginning!  We plan to continue to support NC educators through building this PLN to meet their needs.

If you missed our chat, here are some of my favorite Tweets.  

If you want to revisit more of the conversation, visit the March 26 archive to review the discussion.

Several educators have shared with me that they want to get involved but need more support about how to use Twitter.  If you would like to review more resources to support you as you use Twitter to build your PLN, you can review this self-paced Twitter professional development resource.  

As we continue to learn and grow as an #NCed team, our goal is to support you – educators in North Carolina – by providing topics that are meaningful to you.  Please share our Smore and our blog with your colleagues.  Take a moment to complete share topics you would like to explore with us on our Get Involved page. 

First #NCed Chat a Success!

Last night was the first ever #NCed Twitter chat. The conversation was rich! One hundred nine educators from across the state and outside the state actively participated, and several others lurked and learned. We had such great participation, in fact, that #NCed was the number 1 trending topic on Twitter last night around the world! If you missed the first chat, you can read the archive here. Participants shared tons of great ideas and resources for teaching the 4 Cs of 21st century learning: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication.

Some of you may be wondering about how the #NCed chat originated. The idea for #NCed first came up in a Google chat conversation between Dr. David Stegall and Jayme Linton, who are both strong believers in the power of a Personal Learning Network (PLN) and advocates for Twitter as a tool to build a PLN. They've worked to connect with other educators and districts face-to-face through conferences, meetings, and professional learning communities, but this networking is limited by time and distance. A PLN removes those barriers and allows us to connect with educators around the world. Through Twitter, their group of go-to educators changed from a handful of local folks to hundreds of exceptional educators around the world, most of whom they would never have had the opportunity to interact with otherwise.

The co-founders of #NCed often participate in Twitter chats that are targeted to specific populations and felt that there was a need to connect practitioners across the state of North Carolina. David and Jayme are both regular participants in #ncadmin, a bi-weekly chat for North Carolina educators, and they've experienced the power of connecting with others across the state. They wanted to do something similar and include educators at all levels - classroom teachers, curriculum specialists, administrators, teacher educators, pre-service teachers, and state-level educators - in order to broaden the scope of connections and conversations that are already happening in many districts. #NCed is all about building collective capacity across the state.

In Google chat on January 29, 2013, the idea for #NCed was born. Soon after, David and Jayme reached out to Heather Mullins and Cindy Geddes to be part of the #NCed team. Through Heather, the #NCed team was able to get the support of the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. NC DPI has been instrumental in advertising for the chat across the state.

If you enjoy participating in #NCed, visit the "Other Chats of Interest" to find other great educational Twitter chats you may be interested in joining. Mark your calendar for the next #NCed chat on April 9th at 8:00 pm EDT.

Y'all Ready for This?

Video created by Cindy Geddes

Welcome to #NCed Twitter Chat!

Welcome to the site of the #NCed chat, a bi-weekly Twitter chat for North Carolina educators. #NCed Chat will provide an opportunity for North Carolina educators to grow and develop their personal learning network (PLN) by connecting to other NC educators throughout the state .  The chat will create a forum for North Carolina educators to come together once every other week in a public Twitter conversation around topics that pertain to their work and connect with other educators with similar interests. The chats will be primarily moderated by school and district level practitioners. By incorporating the NC Department of Public Instruction into the chats, NCDPI can receive real-time feedback from educators across the state on issues that they are facing and best practices that are yielding positive results. Additionally, incorporating NCDPI into the chats will allow NCDPI to provide expert insight into issues, strategies, resources, etc. that are being shared and discussed in the chat. The chat is not intended to be a NCDPI responsibility, but instead it is intended to be a peer sharing approach for NC educators that NCDPI can supplement.


Here, you can find topics for upcoming chats, archives of previous chats, and resources shared by #NCed participants.

If you're an #NCed participant, please sign our Guest Book by visiting the tab at the top of the page.
