#GraniteTechChat Archive: “Tech in 20” Training Ideas (4/23/15)

April 2015Josh Whiting

The Granite Education Technology department sponsors a monthly twitter chat on teaching with technology called #GraniteTechChat. This chat is open to any interested parties, but is especially focused on the participation of school technology specialists and library media educational technology specialists in Granite School District.  Archives of these chats are kept on this website using the Storify service.

In the April 2015 chat, technology specialists discussed strategies and ideas for engaging teachers with optional educational technology trainings, often called “Tech in 20” trainings.  These were the questions:

Q1: How do you get your teachers involved in trainings you offer?

Q2: How do you select relevant trainings you offer to your teachers?

Q3: How do you evaluate the quality of the trainings you offer?

Q4: Tell about the most successful training you have conducted with your teachers.

See the full archive of the chat below.

Tweetdeck (https://tweetdeck.twitter.com/) is a customizable, multi-column interface for Twitter that makes it easy to follow twitter chats, hashtags, or events as they happen in real time.  Users can set up as many columns as they choose, showing not only the regular timeline of updates from people they follow, but also hashtags or other search results, twitter lists, notifications, and much more.

We are featuring TweetDeck today because it is a simple tool for following a twitter chat (such as the upcoming #GSDEdTech Chat.)  Here is a quick video that shows how to sign in to TweetDeck and quickly set yourself up to follow and participate in the #GSDEdTech chat or any other Twitter educational hashtag chat.
