It’s Day 1 of MASTERClasses. First up - stop motion animation and drone classes. Excited to have T’s here ready to dive in to learn how to use these tools to help students meet tech standards and demonstrate content knowledge. @fcpsoit @Frizzle_of_FCPS @JerryBroyles1 @lmsbarcus

These @FCPSKY educators took their teaching to new heights today with drones! We had such an array of different grade levels and content areas represented, and all walked away with a way they could implement #drones in their classrooms. @DroneBlocks @fcpsoit @JerryBroyles1 – at Kentucky, USA

The Lamest Excuses: The IT Department Won't Support It. Combat this by: * Give Tech Support enough notice; they want to say "Yes"! *Explain why *Give examples of how others are using the tech @fcpsoit #ISTELive @teach42 @Rodney_Crouse @kimberlywright1 @andrewtwallace

Lamest Excuses in Edtech: The IT Department Won't Support It Bridge divide between Edtech and Tech Support @FCPSKY is great at this thanks to @fcpsoit #ISTELive

Lamest Excuses: There's not enough time • Don't say "I have something for you to use" • Tease, don't tell; show end result • pick moment; not busiest time of year • Swap something; don't add • Make it easy • Don't force rubric change • Brag; give teacher credit #ISTELive

Great session by @TigheTweets on best practices for using @GoGuardian in the #classroom. It shouldn’t be a”gotcha” tool. Interact with #students who don’t want to publicly ask questions. #ifllex
