<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">It's investigation time! Let's put on the detective hat and take a closer look! At what you may ask? Cue the suspenseful music </span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">(🎵🎵🎵)</span><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">.... Website privacy policies! </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "roboto" , , , "segoe ui" , "ubuntu" , "helvetica neue" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "roboto" , , , "segoe ui" , "ubuntu" , "helvetica neue" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">In an effort to keep my students safe, and to build my own knowledge (along with my (#ISTECert), I am taking a look at a few sites that I use in the classroom with my students. Specifically I am going to dive into their privacy policy hunting for acronyms likes<span style="color: #a00029;"> </span></span><span style="color: black;"><a href="https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/childrens-internet-protection-act" style="white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">CIPA (Child Internet Protection Act)</a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">, </span><a href="https://www.ftc.gov/enforcement/rules/rulemaking-regulatory-reform-proceedings/childrens-online-privacy-protection-rule" style="white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">COPPA (Child's Online Privacy Protection Act)</a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">, and </span><a href="https://www2.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html" style="white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act)</a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. I will keep me eyes out for these because they are the big three that I know of when it comes to keep students safe (and being as compliant as possible).</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "roboto" , , , "segoe ui" , "ubuntu" , "helvetica neue" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "roboto" , , , "segoe ui" , "ubuntu" , "helvetica neue" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The three tools I am going to check out are <a href="https://web.seesaw.me/privacy-policy/" target="_blank">Seesaw</a>, <a href="http://www.abcya.com/privacy.htm" target="_blank">ABCya</a>, and <a href="https://quizizz.com/privacy" target="_blank">Quizizz</a>.</span></span></span><br />

What grabbed my eyes first was their mission and the following bullets highlighting privacy. You can check out this screenshot from their privacy policy for maximum awesomeness. </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">From this screenshot, I found a new acronym which, I probably should have known already: </span><a href="https://www.eugdpr.org/" style="white-space: pre-wrap;" target="_blank">GDPR or The European Union General Protection Regulation</a><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">. This is one of the golden standards when it comes to protecting people's rights online. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "roboto" , , , "segoe ui" , "ubuntu" , "helvetica neue" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "roboto" , , , "segoe ui" , "ubuntu" , "helvetica neue" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Seesaw privacy policy is quiet extensive and they outline everything to how they use cookies, what information they do or do not share, and how to make sure to include Seesaw in your district technology policy. It is important to include this in your district policy because students under the age of 13 need parental consent. Luckily our district has this covered because of it's awesome student acceptable use policy. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "roboto" , , , "segoe ui" , "ubuntu" , "helvetica neue" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "roboto" , , , "segoe ui" , "ubuntu" , "helvetica neue" , sans-serif;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Overall, I feel my students, parents, and teachers, are very safe using Seesaw. I would recommend this as safe, with the caveat of including a consent form for students under 13.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "roboto" , , , "segoe ui" , "ubuntu" , "helvetica neue" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></h3>

<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "roboto" , , , "segoe ui" , "ubuntu" , "helvetica neue" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://www.abcya.com/" target="_blank">ABCya</a></span></span></h3>
<div>
<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first thing that jumped out at me was that this privacy policy is difficult to read because of the white font on the sky blue background with white clouds. Putting readability aside, this policy was updated on August 21st, 2018. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So out of all the safety acronyms listed above, the only one I could find two on the main page, which were COPPA and GDPR. Two out of three ain't that bad. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">One plus about this product is that they don't generally collect any names, addresses, or other contact information. Children may see ads on these pages, but they are "contextual and not interest bases advertising." I wasn't quiet sure what the word generally meant. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">So it seems the only way (that I found) to get children's information is if they have to login for an account. However, parents can request "to review and request that ABCya delete any personal information that the platform has collected and retained about their child (ABCya Privacy Policy). This piece made me wonder what parent's might find if they actually request any information, although this is a standard part of COPPA.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">All in all, upon reading this privacy policy it made me rethink using the site a little bit. I definitely a little skeptical about this information they "may" collect from paid accounts, but on the other hand, kids are exposed to ads if they don't have a paid account. I guess this is a good lesson on digital media, and how to spot "what not to click on." My advice is use with caution and monitor for ads as kids are playing. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">I immediately liked their policy because, like Seesaw, they outline some awesome points right at the beginning, and their policy was updated September, 5th 2018 which is super recent. </span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">As far as acronyms, I found COPPA and FERPA, but no GDPR. With Quizizz you may share information, like connecting to Google, but you can choose not to. The choice part of this was promising, plus they mention several times that they strive to gather the minimum amount of data necessary. In addition, they outline that they use the data they gather to do things like find the most popular quizzes. And the good news is they do not sell to third parties. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">After reading their privacy policy, I felt at ease with using Quizizz in the classroom, knowing that my students are safe. </span></div>

<span style="color: #a00029; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Overall, I feel good knowing that my students are generally well protected with the apps and programs they are using. I also feel more comfortable navigating privacy policies, and can better recognize a good one. My recommendation is even if colleagues are using an app or program, it's allows good to take a look at privacy policies. </span></div>

Have you ever had a question about GAFE and so you Tweet it out only for it to get lost in the abyss of Twitter and never get a response? Or if you do get a response, it is completely random and really doesn’t help? </span></div>

I must say that I agree with them wholeheartedly as I sit here three days later, my mind still reeling from all the learning that took place in Palm Springs.

As a TOSA, offering engaging and learner centered PD is a goal I strive for like a Mario for Princess Peach. Dan shared his self guided </span><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">PD which engages teachers in interesting content, while Dan differentiates and helps on an individual level (</span><a href="https://goo.gl/KgYCIT" style="line-height: 1.38; text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">https://goo.gl/KgYCIT</span></a><span style="font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">). Besides sharing awesome content, Dan schooled me on a few new Google short cuts and tips. We also had some interesting conversations about teaching theme through Star Wars and other multimedia. Scaffolding difficult concepts in text through multimedia is definitely high in the midichlorian count, and made the unconference room a place of improvisational awesomeness.</span></span></div>

Jon said something along the lines of “It doesn’t matter who gets the credit as long as it get’s done.” These attributes are a must for any successful teacher or leader. No one would have ever though all of this was the product of some hot air, a few balloons, and some great interactions.</span></span><br />

Podcasting has been one of my fascinations for a while. I do a low budget gig on Youtube called Coach’s Corner, which I am converting to podcasting. After CUE, I left with some awesome podcasts in my pocket. The first one I am digesting is “TOSA’s Talking Tech” with Tom & Mike (</span><a href="https://goo.gl/ekjK4R" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">https://goo.gl/ekjK4R</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">). This podcast was music to my ears, and made me wonder about trying to do a podcast for my district to supplement my weekly Edtech Newsletter. Like Brian Briggs, I am not sure writing is my greatest strength, but I do certainly love to talk. :/ Techlandia and EdTech TV are the next ones on my list. Here is a great list of some ear tingling podcast that Ryan O’Donnell recommends. Beyond, listening to these awesome podcasts. I am more motivated to keep moving forward with my own, podcast. There is just this pesky thing called time that keeps me from moving forward.</span></span></div>

Our discussion wondered around a bit from being #bettertogether, and finally wound up on the topic of servant leadership. It seems like a bit of an oxymoran, but it gave me some food for thought. How do we meet the needs of our stakeholders? What task is too small for us? It came down to the fact that a little bit of caring can go a long way. It also made me rethink the ways I approach some of the tasks I had before. Instead of getting grumping when I have to do some possible “techretary” (</span><a href="https://twitter.com/edtechari" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">@EdTechAri</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">) work for an admin, I should rethink my strategy; I should take time to work with the secretary to make my life and my possible admin’s life easier. Approaching the people I work with and for with an attitude or servant leadership will be something, I take back into my work.</span></span></div>

Teachers and administrators everywhere are battling with implementing these initiatives within their schools and across classrooms. It's a battle because there are always a few eager individuals that implement in their practice, but the struggle lies in implementing and building capacity across a school site. <div><br></div><div>This specific post focuses on one such method of capacity building. Although focus is specifically on listening and speaking, it could be applied to various entry points. <br>
<br>
It all began during the 2015 school year when the Alisal Union School District hired Dr. John Nelson, Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Services and Support at Chula Vista Elementary School District, to work with leadership groups. Dr. Nelson spoke about the notion of lead learners, growth mindset, and the vision of shared leadership to accelerate capacity building and fidelity. These notions spoke to me deeply and influenced much of the work our school was invested in. Besides these key ideas, Dr. Nelson also emphasized that one needs to be careful about overloading the system with too many initiatives.<br>
<br>
With these guiding thoughts, the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TiburcioVasquezElementarySchool?fref=ts" target="_blank">Tiburcio Vásquez Elementary School</a> site leadership decided that we needed to have strategic entry points for implementing Common Core across our site. We chose to focus on the listening and speaking strand in part because of the work of <a href="https://twitter.com/dfishersdsu" target="_blank">Doug Fisher</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/NancyFrey" target="_blank">Nancy Frey</a>, and also it was also one of our District entry points. Further, we felt this strand was important because discussion and collaboration seemed to be integrated into of many of the Common Core State Standards; the metaphorical blood that flows and sustains the academic system. Lastly, we felt that our high population of ELLs also needed the extra support and scaffolding in listening and speaking.<br>
<br>
Now it wasn't enough just having a strategic entry point: we needed a plan. We needed to figure out how we were going to build capacity in all our classrooms not just a few. Thus, enter the <a href="https://goo.gl/ahULcl" target="_blank">Listening and Speaking Matrix</a>, grade level collaboration teams, and the shared leadership model. <br>

The backbone to our plan was the blank matrix to the left. This matrix was to be built and rebuilt by our staff. We decided to create two matrices: one for 3-6 and one for K-2.<br>

In grade level collaboration teams, we started to think about what listening and speaking might look like in our classroom, and what we <i>wanted</i> it to look like. We used the CCSS <a href="http://www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/SL/K/" target="_blank">Speaking and Listening Standards</a> as a starting point to spring board our discussion. We brainstormed what scaffolds would be in place to get students across the continuum. We discussed seating formations, classroom set-up, sentence frames, discourse and social norms, and put all those ideas in the matrix under the relevant columns. Meeting after meeting each grade level team built on the previous team's ideas. During this process, we stressed that this was a living document that would change over time, and would be revisited throughout the year.<br>

Finally after each team had added its thoughts, I categorized the ideas as best as I could into groups like seating, body language, and collaboration. You can take a closer look at these iterations, by clicking on the links in the captions.<br>
<br>
Our next step in the process was bringing the first iteration back to subsequent grade-level team meetings. As a cohort we looked at the matrix and discussed any possible changes that needed to be made. Each team was then given time to reflect on its own teaching practice and pick one area that each individual was going to focus on. We followed the self-reflection with discussion on how we could support students to meet our goals and move across the matrix. If you would like a specific example of how teachers supported students, check out my blog on <a href="http://coachbenstechadventure.blogspot.com/2015/09/in-classroom-4-levels-of-language.html" target="_blank">Building Student Discourse</a>.<br>
<br>
We went through this same process over several team meetings, each time reflecting on where we were, and how we could move forward. We also made minor changes throughout the year as our understanding of the matrix and our practice grew. As the year moved forward, our students were gaining what we referred to as "<b>active listening and speaking</b>" skills. Students were speaking loud and proud, in complete sentences, and were using precise vocabulary. At one point we participated in a district learning walk, and one of the group's notices was the rigor and quality of academic language across classrooms. I mention this because for us, this helped validate the work we were doing.<br>

Finally the year was winding down, and it was time to revisit the L & S Matrix as staff cohorts of K-2 and 3-6. The cohorts worked within the groups to revise and modify the matrix. During this work, the matrix changed significantly as staff truly took ownership of the tool. With the final revision of the year, we sent the second major iteration to Kinkos and blew them up as large posters to display in a few rooms throughout the campus.<br>
<br>
Now this year the process is continuing with a different staff and a new and awesome instructional coach (I am now a District TOSA focusing on EdTech). The matrices continue to be reiterated and improved to meet the teachers' needs. For your viewing pleasure, you can view the live versions of the <a href="https://goo.gl/DO0ETY" target="_blank">K-2 Matrix</a> and the <a href="https://goo.gl/VQ9hk0" target="_blank">3-6 Matrix</a>. For this ongoing work, I would like to commend the teachers and staff involved in forming this tool. This list does not name all the staff involved, but the brave ones who are on Twitter. These teachers are great additions to your #pln.<br>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #616161; font-family: Electrolize, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">This post was previously written after my first Computers and Coffee Klatch. Hopefully, it will give you some tools and resources to plan your own digital coffee klatch. I updated a few sections.</span></h4>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fIyVOwj20Bk/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fIyVOwj20Bk?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #616161; font-family: Electrolize, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">On Friday, April 24, 2015 at Tiburcio Vásquez, we had our first Coffee and Computers Klatch. Our topic was digital citizenship, and what conversations we need to start having with our children. Our introduction was a Powtoon in English/Spanish posted on Youtube. This gave parents a bit of background on what digital citizenship is, and why it is important. we then followed the video with a conversation guided by</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #616161; font-family: Electrolize, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> a </span><a href="http://prezi.com/izp_elh-sxfl/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy&rc=ex0share" style="font-family: Electrolize, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;" target="_blank">Prezi</a><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #616161; font-family: Electrolize, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">. This helped facilitate the dialogue between parents in English and Spanish. We discussed the questions in small groups, and shard out as a whole.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #616161; font-family: Electrolize, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Overall, our Vasquez parents were engaged and had wonderful comments and dialogues. They were able to connect with other parents and share ideas and beliefs around digital citizenship. We had a small group, but something we could build on.</span></span></span></div>

The instructions to </span><span style="background-color: white;">signing up are attached; however, this remind account is no longer active, we have created a new one. I wanted to keep this in here as an example. With Remind, we were able to send texts to parents' phones with information on digital citizenship and reminders about future meetings.</span></div>

That way we could plan future meetings based on the parents need and interests. </span></span></div>

Academic and professional discourse and group collaboration is integral for students to be able to succeed in the classroom, meet the rigor of the Common Core State Standards, and most importantly prepare students for life. This is a challenging and daunting task, and one that I am very passionate about in my teaching. Because of this, over the years I have found some tips and strategies that help scaffold students for success. This series <i>In the Classroom</i> will explore some of those tips and strategies.<br />
<br />
First many of my ideas are based of off <a href="https://twitter.com/dfishersdsu" target="_blank">Doug Fisher</a> and <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/102569615062048846210" target="_blank">+Rick Morris</a> -- two of my favorite educational presenters. If you ever have a chance to see either of them, I would strongly recommend to do so. Also I love to use many <a href="http://spencerkagan.weebly.com/" target="_blank">Spencer Kagan</a> strategies and structures as well throughout my teaching to further engage students.<br />
<br />
Getting down to business, this first post will focus on how I used a rubric and the Class Cards App to build language into my classroom. If you are asking what class cards is, simply follow the <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB8QtwIwAGoVChMI9d2x38DhxwIVkC-ICh05CAF1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DqZ2qSyMS5eQ&usg=AFQjCNE3Zi2HWIB0GDP52XL_NCWvl_4jdQ&sig2=8RD2-7k6z0G5NvkaaP0-kw" target="_blank">link</a>. If you already know what is it, just keep on reading.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPqEnuGydOP4H-FKv8pyCQ0mr8lBsJ34cBfBRTcgGS10dlFn7dEsQ7r5rYVrRlii1Re9veEesxTeF0rgfbLBKSoGkNJR3KFa84GFCNIS1oeP8wUNJBMlac6Af4m-VNd7MVDslgi4EGO1M/s1600/IMG_0026.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPqEnuGydOP4H-FKv8pyCQ0mr8lBsJ34cBfBRTcgGS10dlFn7dEsQ7r5rYVrRlii1Re9veEesxTeF0rgfbLBKSoGkNJR3KFa84GFCNIS1oeP8wUNJBMlac6Af4m-VNd7MVDslgi4EGO1M/s320/IMG_0026.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
It wasn't until after the second <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/102569615062048846210" target="_blank">+Rick Morris</a> training that I really got into class cards, and at that point I was going full bore with the <a href="http://www.newmanagement.com/products/clip_chart.html" target="_blank">clip chart</a>, <a href="http://www.newmanagement.com/downloads/choices.html" target="_blank">choices program</a>, and <a href="http://www.newmanagement.com/handbook/handbook_07.html" target="_blank">numbers</a> in my classroom as well. After really using the app for a few weeks, I had immediately run into a problem. I loved the random selecting of students to check for understanding, but I was not sure how to grade the students' responses fairly. How could I determine if their answer deserved the score of an A, B, C, or D? Some responses sounded like As and some like Cs, but it didn't feel consistent all the time. Not only was I unsure of what to score the students really deserved, but the students also had no clear idea of the criteria/significance of their grade. I did not feel successful with my Class Cards integration. What to do?<br />
<br />
My next step of course was to go to Dr. Google and consult the internet. Specifically, I was wondering if I could find any rubrics on speaking that could give my students a general guide of how to compose their responses. I found some great rubrics from many different sites, but none that really fit the bill. So the next day in class, I decided to create my own with the help of my class.<br />
<br />
First of course, I presented them with my conundrum of not being able to fairly score them on class cards. Therefore, we decided we needed a better way. We started by finding some videos of eloquent kids giving speeches on Youtube. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/soulpancake" target="_blank">Kid President</a> was our first stop, and a good resource for you to check out if you haven't already.<br />
<br />

<br />
We then discussed what made them sound intelligent, and why we liked them. In addition, we talked about the difference between classroom talk and playground talk, and how we needed to increase our awareness. This had been an ongoing discussion from the beginning of the year. Next, we broke a piece of chart paper into four sections and discussed what a scholar would sound like when he or she was speaking. We labeled the top part scholar and agreed what to write in that section. We then moved to the bottom row and filled that in as a class. Swiftly, we moved to the middle sections and filled those in using similar language throughout. Finally, we came up with names that we thought appropriate for our class. Not all might think them appropriate, but we agreed that they fit our class. Viola, our rubric was complete.<br />

After a few days, I felt that not only were we aware of how scores would be distributed on Class Cards, I could also hear the students pushing themselves to speak more precisely, confidently, and with increased academic language. I could truly hear the students striving to sound like scholars.<br />
<br />
Let me clarify that this was not the only piece that helped my students be successful linguistically, but it was one of the scaffolds that helped. Plus when paired with Class Cards, it gave me actual data to share with students and parents about their participation and speaking ability.<br />
<br />
Let me end by presenting you with the slightly modified original poster. The greatest thing about it is I have seen so many other versions of this poster. My goal is to email those who have adapted this work and include their awesome ideas in this post as well.

<br />
When I went to my first <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/108293807580940280788" target="_blank">+EdTechTeam</a> Summit and looked at the schedule, I thought to myself, "Thirty minutes seems awfully long for a break; couldn't we be doing something better with that time?" Of course I no longer feel this way, but this is where I started. And thus begins the narrative of my 20% Time Project at the <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/108293807580940280788" target="_blank">+EdTechTeam</a> Summit.<br />
<br />
So I would love to say that the first inspiration for this project came from an <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/108293807580940280788" target="_blank">+EdTechTeam</a> Summit, but alas it actually started at ISTE from some conversations with <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/105169764415498444793" target="_blank">+Levi Valdois</a> about a leadership project he is working on called "51 Flavors." At the same time, I was realizing the value of connecting with people and picking their brains. I had a chance to engage in a few conversations with +<a href="https://plus.google.com/107191215621360482175/" target="_blank">Thomas Whitby</a> around coaching and professional development. I took a few notes on his key points, but many of the gems I wanted to remember slipped past me. How, pray tell, could I catch these insights and cement them in memory?<br />
<br />
Enter the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu509N4WrAvFsVUcSQzz8RXWAvmvBQX3i">Coach's Corner Youtube Series</a>. I wanted to capture as much knowledge on becoming a District Wide Technology Trainer as much as possible. So I went to the <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/108293807580940280788" target="_blank">+EdTechTeam</a> Team Gafe Summit in Palo Alto. I sat down in the Gunn High School auditorium and listened to Ms. <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/114011018303647213309" target="_blank">+Jennie Magiera</a>'s amazing keynote on taking risks and choosing not to be bothered by failure. So I thought, why not take a risk this very moment? Here at the <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/108293807580940280788" target="_blank">+EdTechTeam</a> summit, I was surrounded by people with tons of experience training teachers. This was a golden opportunity to grab them for a moment and ask for advice.<br />
<br />
I just needed to figure how and when I was going to ask and work up the courage to do so. As I was cogitating about this, I walked into my second session, and who was sitting there -- Ms. <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/114011018303647213309" target="_blank">+Jennie Magiera</a> herself. I had time before the next session started, so I thought why not? I must have looked like an awkward teenage boy at a middle school dance as I went up to her and asked her if I could do a quick impromptu interview. I struggled through the interview as I held up my iPad and recorded the video arm extended. Boy was my arm tired after six minutes!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I went through the same process with <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/103908813801529842316" target="_blank">+jeffery heil</a>, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/112712478247628173008" target="_blank">+Lisa Highfill</a>, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/106794326183323106872" target="_blank">+benjamin friesen</a>, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/117352546500654253244" target="_blank">+James Sanders</a>, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/104199523024246237037" target="_blank">+Kasey Bell</a>, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/100967632979469276225" target="_blank">+Michelle Armstrong</a>, and <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/101888710521521718392" target="_blank">+Mark Wagner</a>. Suddenly, thirty minutes wasn't enough time. I would pick my session, throw my bag down, and proceed to do as many interviews as possible. In between the interviews, I used those few minutes to do the best editing in the time I had. Of course after rewatching the videos, I found many errors, but the message remained the same. This became my 20% Project not because of the time I allocated to the project, but because of the spirit behind the project. Because of the thirty minute break, I was able to engage in my own learning and professional growth based on my own needs, while possibly helping some others along the way.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what were my big take aways and key insights into EdTech coaching? The Worldle above represents a loose transcript of all the answers that the <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/108293807580940280788" target="_blank">+EdTechTeam</a> members gave me. To me it represents how I should proceed with my coaching: my first steps. Moreover, it summarizes my big take aways from the summits. Those thirty-minute intervals between sessions afforded me the opportunity to pursue my own personal and professional learning and create a historical record of the summit that can be paused, rewound, shared, and reviewed. This was the cherry on top of the sundae; perhaps the most valuable piece of my GAFE Summit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At a this point, I should stop because I must thank each of the interviewees who took the time to humor me in my project. Thank you, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/114011018303647213309" target="_blank">+Jennie Magiera</a>, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/103908813801529842316" target="_blank">+jeffery heil</a>, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/112712478247628173008" target="_blank">+Lisa Highfill</a>, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/106794326183323106872" target="_blank">+benjamin friesen</a>, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/117352546500654253244" target="_blank">+James Sanders</a>, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/104199523024246237037" target="_blank">+Kasey Bell</a>, <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/100967632979469276225" target="_blank">+Michelle Armstrong</a>, and <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/101888710521521718392" target="_blank">+Mark Wagner</a> (this interview is missing one component and has not yet been released); you have provided me with inspiration, confidence, direction, and agency in my immediate future educational endeavors. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
By the way, if you are interested in the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLu509N4WrAvFsVUcSQzz8RXWAvmvBQX3i">Coach's Corner Series</a>, its simply a click away. I hope it is as helpful to you as it was to me. You can even check out the two bonus videos by my own daughter, former principal, and my wife, whose video is forthcoming.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Shameless plug aside, I need to end this post by expressing my gratitude to the <a class="g-profile" href="https://plus.google.com/108293807580940280788" target="_blank">+EdTechTeam</a> for scheduling the <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">thirty minutes between sessions, which ultimately allowed me to create my own 20% Time Project.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I told my brother he needed to respect my Minecraft world...and he did."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is an actual quote that my seven-year-old daughter said t<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">o me about my five-year-old son </span>after discovering the ability to play Minecraft in the same world in the iOS pocket education. I think this quote exemplifies the idea of a digital playground and represents the central theme around this series of blog posts. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now, is everything all bubbles and flowers in the Cogswell household? Of course not! Less then five minutes after demonstrating such wonderful digital citizenship, my son and daughter were arguing about whose Minecraft world they were going to play in together and next yelling about not accidentally smashing the world in with bricks. There was whining...crying...and unrest as they navigated whose will would overcome. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here's my point...children learn many social skills when they go to places such as the playground. They learn how to make news friends, play collaboratively, and resolve conflicts. And, when kids can't resolve their conflicts, we as parents are there to step in to help facilitate. On the same note, how often do we give kids a chance to interact or play with each other online? I say this because much of the time when kids are on devices, they are simply interacting with the device itself. Subsequently, when they do socialize online and a conflict arises, no one is available to help resolve their issues. And of course, when you add a level of anonymity to the online interactions, that's when trolls and cyber bullies pop up. So boomeranging back around, how are we teaching kids online social skills and digital citizenship, and when do they have a chance to play on the digital playground?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">B<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">efore I move on, I must provide a disclaimer. I am an advocate of balance and moderation. In the 1:1 classroom, students get time on devices, but they also need time with peers, paper, and pavement. Just like at home, we can't just always hand children a device when they get grumpy to pacify them. We need to let them be grumpy, kick them outside to physically release that energy, or have them take some time to chill. Of course sometimes as parents, we need a break and the tablet is right there. Give it to the kid, but not all the time, not even most of the time, we need to choose our battles. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Back to the questions above. How do we teach kids digital citizenship on the digital playground? The same way we teach them everything else: we give them opportunities to explore in a safe environment while under supervision. We allow them to not only interact with the device, but other people through the device. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One great place to go is <a href="http://artsnacks.org/" target="_blank">artsnacks.org</a> by Kevin Honeycutt. Children can learn how to draw and interact with others online. They can even post their artwork!!! <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Another resource provided by Kommein.com is <a href="http://kommein.com/8-safe-social-networks-for-kids/" target="_blank">8 Safe Social Networks for Kids</a>. This resource gives a few options on various social media sites. Also, a third is <a href="http://diy.org/">diy.org</a>, which is a online community for creative kids giving kids chances to participate in a DIY camp online. If you are looking for even more, just use Google. There are a bunch out there.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the end, it really doesn't matter what app or program it is. I would just encourage you to give your children the chance to engage online with other kids under your supervision. Build a digital citizen that can look both ways when crossing the Internet. Even better -- you can get in the digital sandbox with your child.</span></div>

<i>So first off, let's get things straight. This blog post was inspired by <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLyzas11KuPpmLgJSKWI_QpmeUAgBNATe" target="_blank">Kevin Honeycutt</a>, a super awesome educational technology guru and inspirational speaker. I had the privilege of watching him speak while attending the Alive Conference at <a href="http://mvcs.org/" target="_blank">Monte Vista Christian School</a> near Watsonville, California, and his insights on digital fatherhood and the digital playground resonated with me as a teacher and a father. Thus the story begins...</i><br />

Uncharted territory lays ahead of us. As parents most times we have more experiences to draw from than our children. We can prepare our kids for life, warning them of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIyVOwj20Bk" target="_blank">potential pitfalls</a> based on previous experiences. We teach them the basics like to never talk to strangers and to look both ways when crossing the street. We do our best to raise successful people trying to instill morals and values based on our experiences. Fast forward...<br />

Now, the game changer -- the Internet -- which opened our world by connecting us in new ways. In 1990, when <a href="http://www.history.com/news/ask-history/who-invented-the-internet" target="_blank">Tim Berners-Lee </a>invented the World Wide Web, I was 8. I experienced the Internet as a child and had limited supervision when I was on the digital playground. I made some poor decisions online, nothing major, but the scope of viralness was severely limited back then. I had a chance to play in the digital sandbox, learning along the way.<br />
<br />
Now, excuse the cliche, but times are a-changin; mistakes are broadcast within seconds, and can go viral in minutes. On the other side, children, like <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/EvanTubeHD" target="_blank">EvanTubeHD</a>, make millions on YouTube, while still having time to play!!! Our lives are becoming more and more public and viewable. Our children's pictures are no longer just on the four walls of our house, but shared across screens and devices. Families are connected; people are connected. The internet is a place of great power, which of course can be used for great good or for great evil.<br />
<br />
This takes us back to this post's driving questions: who is on digital recess duty and what is our responsibility as digital parents? With this series of blog posts, I hope to explore my journey into digital fatherhood as a father and a teacher. Please add your thoughts and comments below and join me on my journey.<br />

On Friday, June 5, 2015, at Tiburcio Vásquez Elementary in Salinas, California, there was a celebration of grit and determination. Sixty-one bikes and sixty-one helmets were given away for reaching perfection,<br />
bringing sixty-one smiles to sixty-one students' faces.<br />

So how exactly did these students attain perfection? It was not based on grades or merit, but simply showing up: a demonstration of grit. <a href="https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8#q=grit%20definition&es_th=1" target="_blank">Google</a> defines grit as courage and resolve and strength of character. I think this definition brings to light the characteristics such as resolve and strength of character that the recipients of the bikes demonstrated throughout this school year. Further, <a href="http://academiccommons.columbia.edu/catalog/ac:126480" target="_blank">Romero and Lee</a>'s (2007) article exhibits the importance of attendance on student academic success. Formalities aside, it was a day filled with excitement.<br />

The day started out with a surprise helicopter visit as Officer Todd Brethour flew Salinas Police Chief Kelly McMillin and landed on Vásquez's sports field. Students watched in amazement as the wind from the rotor blew them back a bit. The Salinas Police Officer's Association came with a full brigade of cars along with their police truck. Alisal Rotary Club members as well as Salinas City Council representative Kimberly Craig joined the Salinas Police in the presentation of bikes.<br />

<br />
As Dr. Roberto Núñez, principal of Vásquez, read each winner's name, the students bounded over to the zoo of bikes looking for the one that called their name. Other students cheered with exuberance with the hopes of attaining perfection the next year. Overall, smiles were seen on the faces of all.<br />
<br />
Thanks to all of those who helped make this event possible, especially the Police Officer's Association, the Alisal Rotary Club, and Councilwoman Kimbley Craig. A huge kudos to our fearless leader and principal Dr. Roberto Núñez who coordinated the whole event. Of course, a huge thanks to the behind-the-scenes crew; there were many hands involved to make this event a success.<br />

It feel that curriculum is inauthentic at times and does not always target real world skills. I have been working on more projects that connect students to the real world. For example, publishing videos on youtube with a real audience, or sending a picture across the internet to teach a lesson on digital citizenship and communication.</span></div>

Technology makes checking for understanding easy, but many of the curriculum embedded assessments need extra effort to turn digital. Another challenge I have had this year has been not having my own class. Often times I am not in a class long enough to give formative assessment. However, I think as I get to know the curriculum better it will be easier to help create formative assessments that fit into the curriculum.</span></div>

Teaching with an iPad has changed my teaching and almost every lesson models some kind of digital age work and learning.</span></div>

I love trying and learning a new app or a new way of teaching with technology. As I mentioned above, having so many teachers around to collaborate with helps keep the apps we are using current and fresh.</span></div>

This year, I started using Remind to connect with parents, but I did not have too many parents sign up. Last year, I used email, but only about half of my parents had email. I would like to better leverage social media to reach out to more parents.</span></div>

Both of my lessons were focus on digital citizenship. However, elements of digital citizenship can be found throughout the modules as it is always important to keep students safe when online.</span></div>

I was able to have Parent Coffee Klatches, which targeted digital citizenship. Also I personally feel that this is one of the bases we must start with and target our students to teach them about being safe online. Technology is a tool that can be used for good or for evil.</span></div>

I feel I do a good job with a few limited cultures, but I would like students to be able to have more of a world view. I think it would be great to connect with another class in another country or on another continent. </span></div>

The modules made me reflect and think on items and topics that I may have not engaged in. I tried apps I might not have tried, I participated in a hashtag chat, and curated numerous sources. </span></div>

All of the lessons I participated in we modeled in front of other teachers. I am also in the position to provide professional development to many people in my school.</span></div>

I read plenty of blogs and many articles, but few a of them seem to be strongly based in research. I think this would help strengthen my practice. </span></div>

I think these will help me to stay fresh and develop my knowledge. I will also be able to continue to connect with other educators if I participate in these avenues. In my opinion, connecting with others in the edtech field is the best way to develop constantly stay fresh and grow professionally.</span></div>

I found the course to be challenging, reflective, refreshing and inspiring.<br />
<br />
From this course, I feel I developed a passion for growing a person professional development system. For example, I have grown in my understanding of curation and creating through social media. I am able to find my own resources, and have start my own personal on line library of media. I have started to navigate hashtag chats, building playlists of videos, and of course, when in doubt stick a pin in it. I feel I still have much more room to grow in the world of social media, but I now know where and how to find the answers in the twitter-verse.<br />
<br />
Further, my eyes have been opened by participating in the lessons, the learning, and the activities. Through the lesson planning process, I become more familiar with the various <a href="http://www.iste.org/standards">NET</a> standards, and embedding them in my instruction. I got to better understand the <a href="http://www.tpack.org/">TPACK</a> model through applying my own environment to a triple Venn Diagram. I had a great time smashing iMovie and an app called <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/green-screen-by-do-ink/id730091131?mt=8">Green Screen</a> into the <span id="goog_835076796"></span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbB3Sxrm4lA">Evolution on Communicatio<span id="goog_835076797"></span>n</a>. This was definitely a smash I may have never tried without the course.<br />
<br />
Mostly, my eyes have been opened to all of the digital possibilities out there. I am now more confident in trying even more new possibilities that haven't even popped out into the digital world.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16617582169048289601noreply@blogger.com0
