Right now, No. I do an in person PD most Tuesdays at the University and then I do some others face to face in my district. #learnlap
LAST QUESTION 18 (Open-Ended): Do you participate in professional development on other social media? Which tools or groups are your favorites? What makes them most beneficial? #LearnLAP

Either works. #learnlap
If we switch to a 30 minute chat, would a 7:30pm Central start time work for you all? Then, it could still back up to the #tlap chat at 8pm. #LearnLAP

Some other formats, short presentations, or other alternating options might be nice to change things up. #learnlap
QUESTION 12 (Poll): Do you prefer that #LearnLAP remains a Q&A format where we ask an open-ended question and participants reply with answers that are true for them, or would you prefer a different format? Explain in your post. (Polling ends in one hour.)

If shorter (30 mins) maybe 7:03, the intro time is nice start. #learnlap
QUESTION 10 (Poll): Should we start with the first question right at 7:00pm Central or is having that five minute buffer when people are introducing themselves useful to help allow stragglers a little time to arrive? (Polling ends in one hour.)

If fewer questions could go to 5 or 6 mins, otherwise 7 is good. #learnlap
QUESTION 8 (Poll): Do you prefer that #LearnLAP keeps posting the questions seven minutes apart or would you prefer that the questions are posted faster or slower? (Polling ends in one hour.)

I haven't used other social media for chats so not sure which is best, 30 mins w/fewer Qs, the day and time work for me. #learnlap
QUESTION 4 (Open-Ended): As we look at the future of #LearnLAP, what changes might we consider making (e.g. length of the chat, number of questions, format of the chat, topic choices, day or time of the week, social media platform, etc.)? Please explain if possible. Thank you!

maybe 30 mins rather than 60, I'm so exhausted at night and then still have work to do for school the next day #learnlap
QUESTION 3 (Open-Ended): What can be done to make the #LearnLAP Twitter chat more valuable to you?

QUESTION 2 (Open-Ended): Do you participate in other Twitter chats? Which ones do you enjoy? What is it about those chats that keep you coming back? #LearnLAP

With the changes to twitter, I have basically stopped using it. I used to get a lot out of chats, but it is difficult to follow and use now and more frustrating than fun after a long hard day at work. #learnlap
QUESTION 1 (Open-Ended): What do you get out of Twitter chats? What makes them valuable enough for you to keep coming back? #LearnLAP

Twitter has limited me and I can't reply anymore, so thanks for a good chat. #learnlap

student's assign roles and responsibilities before they start, they aren't allowed to "drive in the wrong lane" teammates can ask for help, but they aren't allowed to do it for them #learnlap
Q5) There is often disparity in the amount of work everyone does in a group. How do you make that more fair? #LearnLAP

I stole from @PaulSolarz and I teach, rock, paper, scissors, take turns, and choose kind. Teach listening skills & have to focus on evidence #learnlap
Q4) Disagreements can be a rubbing point for groupwork. How do you get students to compromise? #LearnLAP

start by teaching respect with sentence starters "I disagree because ______ (evidence)" "I agree and think ____" Also use talking chips. Have each write their input, group come to consensus then share others idea (not own) #learnlap
