How can streaming and interactive video be used in education?

4 C’s are huge here - Using video to encourage communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity and encouraging learning to happen not only inside of the school building or district, but also globally.
Streaming/Interactive video helps increase engagement and ultimately comprehension
Live Streaming brings experts in the classroom and enhances the learning process.
“Virtual Field Trip”
Lends to various learning styles
Offering courses in a district across campuses where a teacher may only be available at one building and not another
Being able to offer coaching services to teachers across a district when an instructional or tech coach is not always available in every building / IT Support could also be done in this way
Interactive Video
- Flipped Classrooms
- Flipped staff meetings
- Flipped PD
  - So many times teachers use the time factor to say they don’t have time to attend a PD after school that is face to face. Using interactive video in combination with choice boards is a great way to offer PD. Count the time by using an application that will show that they have watched it and answered some questions about what was presented.
- Backchannel and / or reflection tool
- Feedback tool for providing feedback to students
Streaming Services that include many paid subscriptions are great for enhancing content presentations

Applications

Streamyard - Livestreaming, shareable studio right within your browser
Streamable Learning - Live, Interactive video highlighting K-12 curriculum...contact Matt for more info: friedman98@me.com
Zoom - Video Conferencing -Free up to 100 participants and 40 minutes
Google Hangouts / Meet
Skype
Edpuzzle - Make your videos your lesson or presentation by annotating and adding questions to your videos and check that your students have watched and engaged
Playposit-Live interactive video platform...a lot like EdPuzzle but more interactive
Insert Learning - Chrome extension that allows you to make any website a lesson, and in connection with today’s topic allows you to add your own video discussion or video annotation to a website
FlipGrid
Dubb - www.teachercast.net/dubb
VoiceThread - Response tool for students participants to respond on articles, blogs, video. Responses can be in the form of text, audio, or video.
HippoVideo - Screen Capture tool
Screencastify
Screencastomatic
Screenr
Loom

Do You Have a Question For Us?

www.TeacherCast.net/VoiceMail
Twitter: @AskTheTechCoach
Email: feedback@teachercast.net

How are you building your tech coach brand?

How do I, as a coach, want to be known?
What do I want to be known for or known as?
- Am I the Google lady? Am I the Microsoft Guru? Am I the BreakoutEDU lady, etc., etc.?
What do your teachers or administrators say about you when you enter the room or get introduced at a staff meeting?
Have a niche, know your staff (avatars as Jeff refers to) and what they need and what you can offer them.
Make it about your “client” - the teachers you work with - find something that will make what they already are doing easier or more efficient.
Don’t be afraid to make connections with vendors for products that you use and promote as a tech coach to your teachers.
Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there, it’s not bragging - It is letting people know how you can help and where they can go to find help.

Ways to build the brand?

Tech Coach Website - What is on it?
- Be intentional about having your teacher visit your site. Make it hub that you direct them to with personal follow later
- Susan’s Example
Blog
Video Tutorials/YouTube Channel
- Personal video vs. self-made general tutorial
- Susan’s YouTube Channel Example
Social Media
- Use of private group to encourage all teachers in your building/district to share good things going on
Newsletter, “Potty PD” or variation

Do You Have a Question For Us?

www.TeacherCast.net/VoiceMail
Twitter: @AskTheTechCoach
Email: feedback@teachercast.net

How To Gather Feedback From Your Professional Development Sessions

Why is it important to gather feedback?

Get a feel for where your attendees are either before or after a session
Figure out where to go next with a particular group or individual
For your own personal reflection as a coach to determine how the session went and if it was successful

How do you gather feedback?

Watching faces, body language, verbal comments from group/individuals during the sessions - This will tell you a lot about if they are “getting it”
Beginning of year Professional Learning Feedback form - Sample from Susan
Exit Slip - Paper or digital - Much like we do with students in the classroom at the end of a lesson, why not use exit slips with teachers in a PD session? - Sample from Susan
Parking Lot - Paper or digital - teachers have the ability to place questions, comments, concerns on a paper or digital area
End of Year/Term/Semester Feedback Form - Sample from Susan
Follow Up Discussions - Verbal and using a school/local hashtag on Social Media through a FB group or Twitter Chat, learning management system, etc.

What types of questions do you ask on feedback forms?

How has the session been beneficial?
Have they had ample opportunity through the year for the training they need?
From George Couros and included and referenced in my sample Exit Slip- “Two Questions to Ask At the End of a Professional Learning Day-
- What did you learn today?
- How Will your students know and benefit?
Other exit slip questions
- Name 1 new skill or idea you learned today you will try in your classroom within the next month.
- Name 1 thing you would like to learn more about from today’s topic.
What other training on tools or concepts would they like to have in future sessions?

Applications to help you gather feedback?

Padlet
Jamboard
FlipGrid
Slido - during a presentation to gather feedback
YoTeach
Nearpod
Peardeck

What do you do after you receive survey results?

FOLLOW UP!
- Use the I DO-WE DO-YOU DO approach to encourage teachers to try the skill after watching the tech coach model it, then collaborate on a lesson together, then have the teacher do it for themselves to gain confidence
  - This is a huge component of follow up whether it is from a large group PD session or a one on one/small group - continue the learning with Job-Embedded PD

Does feedback really do anything to your PD sessions?

Use the feedback you are given. Don’t just ask for it and then let it sit. Tailor your coaching to individuals and make them feel that they have a voice and part in their own learning as you give them what they need.

Do you share the feedback with anyone?

How Do You Come Back To Reality After A Conference?

REST
- - Get some sleep, calm your mind from all of that information and excitement racing around in your brain.
REFLECT
- - Take time to actually go through your notes while the learning and excitement is still fresh
PRIORITIZE
- Get rid of items (notes, business cards, brochures, etc.) that you know you will never use and find 2 or 3 things you are excited and dedicated to trying in your classroom
- Whatever you try in your classroom or coach a teacher to try, be willing to share that at the next opportunity whether it be a PLC/Team meeting, staff meeting, or a PD Day

Tech Coach Tip of the Week

When attending conferences such as FETC, TCEA, or even ISTE it’s important to wear multiple hats. As a Tech Coach representing your district, you should keep your eyes open for what will be useful with your teachers. As a Connected Educator, you should be reaching out to network with other Tech Coaches. Most importantly, you are going to the conference to learn how to be a better professional development provider so take advantage of everything that you have access to while at the conference.

How To Tech Coach At A Tech Conference

Make a list of sessions you wish to attend and add it to your Calendar

Add sessions that are both Tech Coach focused as well as sessions that might benefit your district and teachers
Attend sessions of “rockstar educators” to learn how others present both workshops and lecture sessions
Talk to your Administrators about what will be happening and what type of recon you could be doing for the district-let them know you are going to the conference

Prepare to do a TON of Networking-social media, face to face

Do your homework before you go
Hangout near the Press Room, Bloggers Cafe, and walk the vendor floor

Take Notes

Use an App such as Evernote to take notes during the conference.
Notes can be video, audio, or written
Crowdsource your note-taking with others in the session or at the conference
If you can’t attend a session, seek out the presenter links from the conference website

After the Conference- Pay it forward with staff

Connect with presenters
Create Twitter Lists
Share your curated resources

About Our Guest: Brianna Hodges

Brianna Hodges is committed to helping educators positively transform the story of school. Pulling from her experiences as a marketing & PR executive, an English teacher and district administrator, Bri shares how story serves as the foundation of learning, the cornerstone of culture, and the catalyst to transformation. Having learned, listened, and led in classrooms and central administration since 2009, Bri is widely recognized for her superpower for storytelling, capacity for connection, and commitment to empathy and equity. Noted for her innovative approach to learning, Bri was named K12 Administrator to Watch (2018) and Texas EdTech of the Year (2017). She serves as national advisor for Future Ready Schools and spokesperson for Future Ready Coaches. When Brianna isn’t leading a session, diving into strategy, or waiting to board an airplane, you can find her pacing the sidelines at her son’s games, encouraging her daughter’s affinity for slime and YouTube, wrangling longhorns and horses at her family farm, or finding moments of laughter and connection with family and friends.
