I teach math at MC2 in Manchester, NH. 19:03:02 From Christina Segura : Christina Segura, Media Specialist, NC 19:03:03 From Laura Armstrong : Laura Armstrong, Math Teacher, NC 19:03:06 From ncarle : Nathan Carle- Physics, Robotics teacher from Amherst, NH 19:03:07 From Lauren Schultz : I'm Lauren Schultz, Media Coordinator, NC 19:03:08 From Gail March : Gail March NH Coordinator 19:03:08 From Keiauda Tennant : Keiauda Tennant, Biology, NC 19:03:09 From Justin : Justin Pierce / Design / NC 19:03:10 From Beth Slater : Beth Slater, Media Coordinator, NC 19:03:10 From Swift : Charles Swift, I teach Physics and Engineering in Amherst NH 19:03:11 From Lisa Petrie : I'm Lisa, the Library Media Specialist from Souehgan HS, in Amherst, NH. 19:03:11 From Kortney : Kortney Kavanagh, Science, NC 19:03:19 From daniellegasser : Danielle Gasser, Science (Biology), NC 19:03:26 From Lori Zeman : Lori Zeman / Media Specialist 19:03:26 From Beth Slater : @bethsyrmls 19:03:27 From Caitlin : Caitlin Gately, Biology Teacher, Memorial High School Manchester NH 19:03:28 From Lauren Schultz : @LRSchultzMLIS 19:03:30 From Lisa Petrie : Lisa Petrie @lisajpetrie 19:03:33 From Amy Moore : @BHSCreativeChem 19:03:34 From robinc.williams : Robin Williams, Media Coordinator, Charlotte, NC @rcbrucker 19:03:37 From Keiauda Tennant : @keiauda 19:03:40 From Joanna Schimizzi : Joanna Schimizzi - @mrs_schimizzi 19:03:42 From Laura Armstrong : @LEArmstrong1 19:03:49 From Lori Zeman : @LoriZeman_Hough 19:03:50 From Christina Segura : @mchlibrarylady 19:03:50 From Alaura Carson : Alaura Carson, Math Teacher, Making Community Connections Charter School, Keene NH 19:03:54 From Kristen Johnson : Kristen Johnson, Media Specialist, NC, @DubCLions (IG & T) 19:04:24 From Susan Ballard : Susan Ballard, Program Director MSSL. Granite State College/USNH 19:04:33 From Kim : Kim Carter, Library Media Specialist, Making Community Connections Charter School, NH 19:04:40 From Joanna Schimizzi : NH discussion board - https://www.oercommons.org/groups/new-hampshire-stem-educators-y3/1339/discussions/317 19:04:43 From jen : @JenSpoerke 19:04:52 From Susan Ballard : My twitter handle is @NHOLB 19:04:58 From Joanna Schimizzi : NC discussion board - https://www.oercommons.org/groups/north-carolina-stem-educators-y3/1340/discussions/318 19:06:29 From Lisa Petrie : I like how Lori Zeman said that "writing our learning objectives gave us a real path to follow for our anchor and supporting texts." This is great, because it's tempting to put the text before the SLOs. :-) 19:06:30 From Susan Ballard : Finding a quality anchor text is a running theme. 19:06:36 From Caitlin : Finding and anchor text that is open content, working together, getting ready for the lesson 19:06:49 From Amy Moore : it wasn't obvious (even after watching the "terms of use" videos on their website) if we could use/share/modify this article as part of our lesson on OER Commons........ 19:07:14 From Alaura Carson : The more we added and collaborated, the project began to feel real and so did our excitement for the task 19:07:20 From daniellegasser : @missgasser for Twitter! 19:07:21 From Christina Segura : after finding an anchor text coming up with the questions to inspire inquiry 19:07:33 From Laura Armstrong : Looks like most were similar to ours - finally finding an anchor text and inquiry questions 19:07:40 From Anne Bucci : I love that the first one I read was about another team who struggled with creative commons licensing and reached out to the author on Twitter. We have had the same issue and emailed the Smithsonian. It has been frustrating that the licensing is not obvious. 19:07:53 From Lauren Schultz : I like how Jen chose to focus on questions that promoted inquiry. It was a challenging task coming up with quality questions based upon our text to make sure students understood the content and it that it was meaningful questions as well 19:07:58 From Kim : I like and echo Lori’s statement “The more we added and collaborated, the project began to feel real and so did our excitement for the task. “ 19:08:00 From Alaura Carson : The greatest success in part 10 of the template in our group was all of our strengths coming together 19:08:47 From robinc.williams : I loved Caitlin's post about being done with 10! :) Very honest and true! We too struggled finding texts initially! 19:09:10 From ncarle : I like comment This is critical as it really serves as a foundation for the rest of the project. I also thought our collaboration on parts 1-9 was great and showcased our individual strengths within our team. 19:09:46 From Swift : I like Kristen Johnson quote “we are gaining insight on our individual strengths & weaknesses and working through them to create an engaging experience” 19:10:11 From Kim : @kimQED 19:16:43 From Lauren Schultz : It treats text as a foundation for inquiry in STEM...that's actually a unique thing! 19:17:07 From Amy Moore : It treats literacy as a way to inspire learning instead of as a task to accomplish 19:17:08 From Lauren Schultz : Texts aren't the side piece. they provide the context for everything 19:17:17 From jen : It’s making me think of ELA first and mathematics second, instead of mathematics only. 19:17:43 From Anne Bucci : Literacy is fully integrated instead of being a separate piece. 19:17:49 From Laura Armstrong : it’s more than just reading… it requires a higher level of thinking and digging deeper to combine lots of aspects of learning 19:18:28 From egaides : We are constructing a shared meaning of concepts and experiences, drawing on each others’ experiences, reflecting on our thoughts. 19:18:51 From Lori Zeman : It makes breaking down and understanding text the focus of the lesson as opposed to just a way to move on to the 'real part' of the lesson once the text is used 19:19:19 From Christina Segura : literacy is thought of first and then the STEM content instead of trying to add literacy as an extra piece in STEM 19:19:37 From Alaura Carson : It is showing that math is not a stand alone subject. ELA is intertwrined with math. Being able to read a graph and understand what it means is important for everyone to know to be more informed. 19:19:38 From Joanna Schimizzi : love “hands-on literacy” - the idea of actively working with circuits and actively working with texts. 19:20:21 From Kristen Johnson : shared planning & teaching of literacy concepts 19:20:24 From Joanna Schimizzi : Yes that we need to check our assumptions about if students really know how to grapple with complex texts 19:21:06 From Kim : I think it also elevates the role/purpose of text-based information as a partner in learning. 19:21:43 From Susan Ballard : Love your take on that, Kim. 19:21:47 From Lauren Schultz : It gave us a structured approach to planning. 19:21:52 From Anne Bucci : It provides a structure and framework and focus for our work. 19:22:07 From Kim : The template helped give us a structure for our collaboration. 19:22:16 From Lori Zeman : It helps break down the project in a manageable way and provides guidance and structure 19:22:18 From lindahedrick : I agree, it really helped to give structure and a focus to what we were trying to achieve 19:22:20 From Lauren Schultz : I also felt as though it gave us a distinct goal every time we meet. 19:22:38 From robinc.williams : The template definitely acted a great guide... 19:22:43 From Kim : We each have different approaches to how we plan, and we could use the template as a third point, focusing our different types of thinking. 19:22:55 From Alaura Carson : It makes you think about what you plan to teach and find a text that alligns to the standards v. finding a text first and teaching to the text. 19:22:57 From Caitlin : Gives me more organization and allows you to see start and finish on the same document 19:23:00 From Christina Segura : It made us think of the standards first and then add the text to support those standards. 19:23:08 From Kristen Johnson : structure and focus 19:23:31 From egaides : Accommodations for Diverse Learners supports all students. 19:23:43 From Amy Moore : It keeps us organized and gives us a flow to follow which really helps make sure work is being accomplished 19:23:49 From daniellegasser : Helped “chunk”! The template made the entire task less overwhelming….a great guide for ALL units 19:26:30 From Lauren Schultz : Time management! 19:26:59 From egaides : Use Google Groups1 19:27:02 From Kristen Johnson : yes Lauren definitely!! 19:27:06 From Alaura Carson : meeting virtually and using google docs to add comments and have converstations with each other 19:27:23 From Joanna Schimizzi : What does time management look like Lauren and Kristen? **Please teach me** :) 19:27:33 From Anne Bucci : As a media coordinator I'm really good about finding resources for students to use. I've already gone ahead and shared a great long list with my team. Now I'm working on a resource for our student projects. We were all working in a shared document today and that real time work and feedback was extremely helpful. 19:27:39 From jen : Alaura and I meet with FaceTime 19:27:41 From Kristen Johnson : time management, google docs, texting 19:27:42 From Kim : Google Docs has been really valuable for us as our team has some distance in it. (We’re working across 60 miles.) 19:27:42 From Amy Moore : Using Google document suggestion features throughout the day just having it open today has inpsired our whole team to keep working on it here and there and has really helped up come up with some cool ideas! 19:27:53 From Lauren Schultz : Haha I'm magical. I just make sure that I follow my goals and stay focused on the task during the limited time we have. 19:28:05 From Lori Zeman : Making time to meet in person and keep the teaching chemistry between our group alive 19:28:07 From Lauren Schultz : (magical part was sarcasm ) 19:28:12 From lindahedrick : We used a Google doc and that was very helpful for sharing ideas, links, etc. 19:28:18 From robinc.williams : we collaborated a lot via google docs... asking each other questions and highlighting things.... it has been great 19:28:20 From Lauren Schultz : OH YES the teaching chemistry! Love that Lori 19:28:31 From Caitlin : having materials ready for certain dates, using google docs, being flexible, making meeting dates at end of previous meeting 19:28:31 From Justin : making different kinds of time… meeting formally, tweeting at each other, roundtable two at a time..etc. 19:28:57 From Joanna Schimizzi : Love the idea of making your meeting date at the end of the each meeting. Thanks Caitlin! 19:30:35 From Joanna Schimizzi : WOW! What a valuable way to share and use your concerns. Talk about building each other up. :) 19:32:49 From Kim : The “yes and” also opens space to appreciate and discover the gifts in each other’s approaches, perspectives, and styles 19:33:25 From Lauren Schultz : Lori, Justin and Kortny do a great job of maintaining FUN and joy in their planning. 19:34:44 From Lori Zeman : We do - thanks! We are at our most creative when we're laughing and enjoying each other. 19:36:13 From Kim : Daniel Goleman’s book Focus is a good partner for The Distracted Mind. 19:36:27 From Kortney : Agreed! You have to enjoy the process, when that happens everything falls into place 19:36:30 From Lauren Schultz : an audiobook is better than texting. 19:36:32 From Lauren Schultz : ;) 19:36:48 From Lisa Petrie : Audiobooks are great. I can sometimes focus better when I close my eyes and listen. 19:37:19 From Kim : A1: time and distance 19:37:36 From Kim : A2: scheduling, prioritizing 19:37:38 From robinc.williams : time for sure! 19:37:41 From Lauren Schultz : Perhaps setting meeting norms 19:37:48 From Alaura Carson : Q1: Not enough time 19:37:51 From egaides : A1 Focus and Time 19:37:54 From Amy Moore : A1 - not recognizing/establishing meeting norms 19:37:54 From Lori Zeman : A1: communication 19:37:54 From daniellegasser : Main barrier for collaboration is availability between all members 19:37:55 From robinc.williams : honestly the deadline have been a great motivator... 19:37:58 From Anne Bucci : clear purpose 19:37:58 From jen : Q1: roller derby 19:38:03 From jen : hahahahhaha 19:38:09 From robinc.williams : LOVE That Jen!!! 19:38:10 From Amy Moore : A2 - creating meeting norms 19:38:23 From Alaura Carson : Q2: try virtual collaboration if teacher B is comfortable and often using tech 19:38:29 From Kim : Addenda to A1: it takes time to get to know each other’s style, need more processing time than it feels like we have 19:38:55 From Lori Zeman : A2: Make sure you are both invested in having the same outcomes for your goals 19:39:08 From jen : Q1: Seriously though, too many demands on time. 19:40:00 From Laura Armstrong : Q1: time and focus on this when what’s right in my face are all of the papers I need to grade and lessons I’m teaching this week 19:40:12 From Laura Armstrong : Q2: I need to do better on my part! 19:40:21 From Beth Slater : definitely what others have said - too many responsibilities on each person's head and making sure to dedicate the time to meet 19:40:50 From jen : I taught all day, had a staff meeting after work, had a 1-on-1 meeting with a derby colleague, have this webinar, and I’m going to a league meeting (that also started at 7pm) as soon as the webinar is over. 19:41:00 From egaides : A2 Google Calendar with reminders 19:41:13 From Anne Bucci : We've had a lot of teacher workdays and these have been great for our team to work on this project. 19:41:37 From Swift : laughing helps to make you look forward to the meeting. 19:41:51 From Caitlin : time! - group goals and outcome. 19:42:03 From jen : Q2: Understanding of busy schedules and a commitment to stay focused on the task at hand. 19:42:36 From Swift : We also leave with meeting by saying what each of us is going to be working on until we are able to meet again. 19:42:56 From Lisa Petrie : "Commit to a small win." I like that. :-) 19:44:32 From jen : Q1: Different understandings of the outcome 19:44:35 From Alaura Carson : Q1: Teacher D may have been teaching for a longer period of time and has more experience to back up their thoughts. 19:44:51 From Kim : (Sorry, I’m stuck on thinking of this as a math problem… ) 19:44:54 From robinc.williams : Again, just time - and location - none of us are in the same building on an open campus and none of us have the same planning. But we meet online, we meet after school, it works. 19:45:04 From Kim : :-) 19:45:14 From jen : Q2: Make sure that the end goal is clear 19:45:17 From Lauren Schultz : A1: Sometimes it's simply a personality difference. People have different personality types and part of collaboration is learning to work with those different types. 19:45:26 From Christina Segura : A1: it may be that teacher E and LMS F aren't familiar enough with the content of teacher D 19:45:26 From ncarle : Often better communication of ideas is the solution 19:45:32 From Alaura Carson : Q2: Having norms that include being more open and using active listening 19:45:36 From Kim : Asking questions to understand Teacher D’s perspective can be impmortant 19:45:40 From Amy Moore : A1 - It is possible that Teacher D feels that their ideas are not being really values and feels the need to defend or really dig into to their own opinion because it may be that without realizing E and F are dismissive. It could also be that E and F could listen and find ways to incorporate D's ideas but also incorporate their own ideas as well 19:45:46 From Lauren Schultz : I like that Kim --- ask questions. 19:46:03 From Amy Moore : Asking questions, providing opportunities to compromise 19:46:04 From Lauren Schultz : Also, try compromising. Take small steps, not necessarily big leaps. 19:46:18 From Justin : I agree back to norms that set stronger boundaries/guidelines 19:46:19 From Kristen Johnson : is she really not willing to compromise or are the others forcing their opinion? 19:46:33 From Caitlin : see if there is a personal reason behind teacher Ds opinion. If not try to find a new middle ground to bring everyone together 19:46:48 From Beth Slater : perhaps needing to listen more instead of thinking what we're going to say while our colleagues are talking, etc. Asking questions to clarify and even though it's teacher D who is stuck in her own opinion, maybe the other two aren't listening to teacher D to really get what they're trying to say and so that teacher is "stuck" on that opinion 19:46:56 From egaides : Ask follow-up questions to keep discussion moving forward. 19:47:38 From Joanna Schimizzi : Ah! When I feel like I have to advocate really strongly, I need to slow down and inquire and ask questions! 19:47:41 From Lisa Petrie : "Balancing advocacy". 19:47:48 From Lisa Petrie : I haven't either, Joanna! 19:47:53 From Kim : Balancing advocacy and inquiry 19:48:04 From Lauren Schultz : I like Beth's suggestions...listen REALLY listen instead of thinking about your own opinion 19:48:12 From Lisa Petrie : I love that, Kim! 19:48:28 From daniellegasser : Thank you! 19:48:35 From Kim : Thank you all! 19:48:38 From Christina Segura : Thank you!! 19:48:42 From robinc.williams : thank you for sharing the insight of two years! helpful!!!! 19:48:47 From Amy Moore : thank you! 19:48:49 From Susan Ballard : Bravo, Souhegan Team!! 19:48:57 From Kim : Nice to meet y’all NC folks! 19:49:07 From Lauren Schultz : Nice to meet you as well, Kim. 19:50:20 From Lisa Petrie : Thanks, Susan! And thanks for facilitating this entire process. It's been so great for us! 19:50:28 From egaides : Thanks, everyone! 19:53:11 From Swift : Thanks everyone, happy wednesday! 19:53:15 From Beth Slater : Thanks! 19:53:17 From lindahedrick : thank you 19:53:17 From Amy Moore : Good Night! :) 19:53:20 From Gail March : Thanks all! 19:53:24 From Laura Armstrong : thanks! 19:53:26 From jen : G’Night! 19:53:26 From Kristen Johnson : thanks!! 19:53:29 From robinc.williams : NH forlks enjoy spring break! 19:53:30 From Susan Ballard : Bon Soir!
