@heidi_kedrowski@heidi_kedrowski Your comment truly resonated with me. I'm 43, so one would think I'd be over the fear of failure by now. I need to practice what I preach. I always tell my students that part of learning is failing, yet on a personal level, it terrifies me. #6710DB2
@Maisy10112008 So true! While there are still traditional elements that are valuable for kids to learn in school, educators need to be progressive in order to foster the best learning opportunities for students. #6710DB2
@Maisy10112008 I need to make this shift as well. Cell phones are not going away, and when used appropriately, they can be useful resources for students. #6710DB2

In order for my classroom to change, so must my mindset. When I graduated HS in 1996, there was an expectation that teachers knew more than students. Not anymore. I accept this reality and understand my role as more of a facilitator rather than an all-knowing teacher #6710DB2
@dthornburg spoke about the need for educators to do different things rather than do things differently, and it was just what I needed to hear. Rather than staying stagnant with learning activities, I am going to step out of my comfort zone - bring on student blogging! #6710DB2
To help students work on being concise when writing, this year, I'm going to have them condense long paragraphs into Tweets of essential information only. #EDUC6710
@Sant_Educator The implications of observational learning in a digital world makes me worry for kids. In the past, parents couldn't completely shield children from questionable individuals on television or in magazines, but today, kids are bombarded with information through media. #6711SM6
@Sant_Educator In some ways, this article reminded me of the Kivunja article we read. Using social media in the classroom would definitely increase student engagement. Additionally, since students would be aware of a larger audience, they would probably invest more time in their work.#6711SM6
@MsChong12 The paragraph about building students’ self-efficacy through encouragement is interesting. It is difficult to see individuals with a weaker sense of self-efficacy avoid activities for fear of failure. If providing such students some encouragement would help, why not try? #6711SM6
This article discusses how social learning tools can benefit the learning experience. While learning is a cognitive process, it is a social process too, which is why there is value in learning through social media and social networking sites. #6711SM6 https://t.co/GeVX9xe9OS
This blog post focuses on how to apply Social Learning Theory for successful e-learning. It also points out that individuals learn through observation, imitation, and modeling. Even with e-learning, such things are possible! #6711SM6 https://t.co/jEnxl0tJLo
This article provides a definition of Social Learning Theory and explains elements of the theory. Additionally, it includes the processes of observational learning and explains the Bobo Doll experiments. #6711SM6 https://t.co/bwwlcckT3K
This source shares the principles of Connectivism Learning Theory & suggests schools should take advantage of the interconnectedness the internet can offer, noting that educators should encourage collaboration through connected environments #6711SMS6 https://t.co/ZzH1ZQOoXI
