Paperless Is Not A Pedagogy
A Twitter chat is usually exactly 1 hour with a structured set of questions. This is a great way to engage with other educators and have a dialog around different topics. I have a guide to participating in a Twitter chat. If you are looking for Twitter chats check out bit.ly/educhatcalendar. Tweetdeck I use Tweetdeck to…
How Do You Learn New Ideas? There are so many new possibilities for teaching. Blended learning, Common Core, DOK levels, Project Based Learning (PBL), Minecraft, Standards Based Grading (SBG), Student-centered classrooms, BreakoutEDU, making global connections, collaboration techniques and of course just using new technology. Teaching is too hard to go it alone. #stealEDU In the…

UN-CHECK this in Settings / Account pic.twitter.com/DnreYqNoCJ — Jonathan Rochelle (@jrochelle) May 1, 2016 Twitter Timeline Twitter has decided to take a lesson from FaceBook and manipulate your timeline to not be in real time. I use Twitter to engage in conversations with…
Getting Into Twitter This morning at #coffeeEDU in Melbourne Australia we were chatting about how to get into using Twitter. A couple of teachers said they have a Twitter account but do not check it very often. I have a Remind group I created for teachers in the United States to send out a text…
Moderating a Twitter Chat Twitter chats are great ways for educators to connect. Moderating a Twitter chat is definitely rewarding but requires some organization. Since “the answer is always a spreadsheet,” I created a template to facilitate the process for being a Twitter chat moderator. Template alicekeeler.com/tweetmod Chat Information After making a copy, fill out the…
A couple of weeks ago myself and some amazing educators were invited to the Department of Education to talk with acting Secretary of Education John King.

Blog Post – Sharing is Caring By Guest Blogger Victor Kass When I broke into the teaching ranks in 2006, I never imagined how important sharing is within our profession. As a newbie, I figured I would be constructing most of my lessons and assessments from scratch and, as a result, the first few years would…
If you follow me on Twitter you know that I am constantly sharing whatever resource I am using, keyboard shortcut I am rocking, or snippits from conversations I am having. If it is helpful to me I figure it might be helpful to someone else. There are some things we take for granted that everyone…
While some schools and classroom ban social media, others are embracing the power of social media. You may be thinking “My students do not need to see pictures of tacos” or “There is a lot of inappropriate stuff out on social media, I don’t want to expose my students to that.” Yes, there is inappropriate…
Previously I had posted some blog posts on having a class Twitter account. This can be a good way to share the awesome things going on in your classroom, give parents a window into what fantastic things their child is doing all day, provide an audience for your students, and to connect with other classrooms…
An easy way to hit R on the SAMR model is to have your students interact with people outside of your 4 walls. It is 2015, with social media it is incredibly easy to connect with students outside of your school. In designing your lesson and projects, consider how students are interacting with the world….
I have yet to make a perfect lesson. Lesson planning is hard. There are a lot of ideas for lessons that other teachers are doing that I do not know about. Lesson planning for 2015 is different than lesson planning for 1980. When I started teaching in 1999 I did not have to think about…
If you are using tech to teach, I can pretty much guarantee something is not going right. You WILL have questions. Who do you ask? Who on your campus is a ninja at that technology? Who on your campus is a ninja at that technology and wants to be bothered with questions 24/7 from all…
I have really enjoyed chatting with teachers on Twitter lately about DOK (Depth of Knowledge) levels. Part of what I teach in my college class to pre-service teachers is DOK levels. We have been tweeting out our learning objectives and discussing what DOK level it is. Sometimes it is really clear what the DOK level…
