@EtheridgeMaria @AdamHillEDU I’d forgotten about that bit!!

@AdamHillEDU and during a fire drill ;) #HOW #SYD19 #SYD19OneYearOn

This day last year, May 1st 2019, was Day 1 of the Google Certified Innovator Academy in Sydney. We laughed, we bonded, we designed and, most importantly, the House of Wombat shook some serious booty! As I said last year, we had our reasons... #GoogleEI #SYD19 #SYD19OneYearOn

#SYD19OneYearOn hard to believe it all started a year ago today! #SYD19 #GoogleEI

@mcdonald_kecia @padlet @Flipgrid Definitely agree re scaffolding the skills required! #MediaByExample

A3 some skills such as peer feedback, appropriate commenting, practicing what to post and when, and handling feedback when you get it can happen in safe platforms like Google Classroom, @padlet or @Flipgrid. Start small and build capacity #MediaByExample

@MediaByExample To utilise of a range of ideas and opinions. Can supersede the 'echo chamber' at times.

Q2: Social media offers a global audience and many connections. In what ways can these be beneficial? #MediaByExample

@MediaByExample Kia Ora, Sarah joining from NZ. giphy.com/gifs/dancing-h… #MediaByExample

Thanks for joining this #MediaByExample chat about social media classroom integration. We’ll be using the Q and A format. Q1 is on the way. In the meantime, introduce yourself and, just for fun, use a GIF to show how much you appreciate your PLN during this challenging time!

@MediaByExample @Zyatica Definitely agree here - knowing the purpose can make a big difference! #MediaByExample

@Zyatica Good point! The purpose is really important. #MediaByExample

Q4: What benefits does an authentic audience offer to student learning? #MediaByExample

@Zyatica @MediaByExample Agree - just like outside of the digital realm people need to find the area that can create in, sometimes it is about find the right space, platform, tool. #MediaByExample

@MediaByExample @spencerideas @ajjuliani Q1 - I think is very concerning and I liken it to the comments I get from some students about art 'I am not creative' 'I am not an artist' - when in fact everyone can create. There needs to be away to bridge the gap and make #MediaByExample

Q1: In #Launchbook, @spencerideas and @ajjuliani talk about a new digital divide - or Creative Chasm - between those who create and those who only consume. How concerning is this? #MediaByExample

@MediaByExample Kia Ora! Sarah, coming in from Auckland, NZ. Finally not on a plane for one of these! #MediaByExample

Thanks for joining this #MediaByExample chat on content creation. We’ll be using the Q and A format. Q1 is on the way. In the meantime, please introduce yourself and share a GIF to represent one of the ways that you demonstrate creativity. Don’t forget the hashtag in your tweets!

@MediaByExample @EtheridgeMaria With senior students it’s can be a very teachable moment regarding comments and also the systems for reporting inappropriate content #MediaByDesign

@NZSarahD @EtheridgeMaria The comments are very often toxic, even in the most innocent videos. Why is this? How should we address it? #MediaByExample

Q3: What are your concerns regarding YouTube in education? #MediaByExample

@msosbornc @varga_mel Hi Christia 😀

@NZSarahD @varga_mel Hi Sarah! #MediaByExample

A2- Google Slides allows you to determine a specific start time; this allows you to skip unwanted material and get right to the good stuff. #MediaByExample

@EtheridgeMaria @MediaByExample And the comments! There can often be something inappropriate in there. Particularly if students are watching independently. #MediaByExample

@MediaByExample A3: As others have said some schools restrict access. It is also essential to watch through YT video to ensure appropiate content all the way through. We must remember it is a open public forum, therefore quality and content need to be checked.#MediaByExample

@MediaByExample A2: Turning subtitles on so the content can be accessed by all learners. #MediaByExample

Q2: What YouTube tips or tricks do you have for maximising learning? (Please remember to include the hashtag so we don’t miss your tweets!) #MediaByExample

@MediaByExample Kia Ora. Sarah from Auckland, New Zealand.

Thank you all for joining this #MediaByExample chat on YouTube in Education. Q1 is coming up very soon. Please introduce yourself and share a GIF to represent how you feel about YouTube in our profession. Remember to use the hashtag in your tweets.

@MediaByExample @EtheridgeMaria Excellent use of the wrong # by me! #MediaByExample

@MediaByExample Thanks all. Looking forward to the next #MediaByDesign chat on the 17th! Off to enjoy some sunshine now! (@EtheridgeMaria you were too quick with the #SYD19!)

And just like that, the hour is over. Thanks for joining the first #MediaByExample chat! We really appreciate your support and encouragement. Join us in two weeks for the next chat (Nov 17th). One final job: give a shoutout to members of your PLN! Who should we all connect with?
