#digcit tip #1: change your passwords often and don’t use the same password for everything!

I love this idea! It’s a great hands-on way to teach students how to responsibly use social media.

We partnered w/ @CUSocialMedia to create this online simulation that allows MS students a chance to explore a social media interface without actually having to create a social media account. Check it out! #DigCit #DigCitEveryday #distancelearning https://t.co/jr8sS9TYjb

Between today’s lesson on virtual reality in #HONS283 and scrolling through @JaimeDonally’s posts, I am definitely ordering a #googlecardboard for myself!

[Alexa Trax @AlexaTeachTrax]

I wish I could have tried this in high school! I definitely want to incorporate #VR into my classroom so my students can explore different cultures without even leaving the room! #HONS283

I had no idea Google Earth had pre-made tours. There’s a tour of traditional homes around the world that would be interesting to introduce students to other cultures.

@aheeleyRIBA @DrVirtuality That’s very true, I never thought of it that way. Thank you so much for educating me.

[Alexa Trax @AlexaTeachTrax]

@PerplexedSeal @DrVirtuality Thank you for your perspective. I have always been taught that PFL is the correct way, but then again, I only ever heard that from neurotypical people. Thank you for helping me to understand.

[Alexa Trax @AlexaTeachTrax]

@aheeleyRIBA When I was a part of Best Buddies we were taught that PFL was more inclusive because it emphasizes that we are human beings first and a diagnosis doesn’t have to define us.

[Alexa Trax @AlexaTeachTrax]

@aheeleyRIBA @DrVirtuality Thank you for sharing that perspective! I can see where you are coming from. I never thought that PFL implied autism is a negative thing.

[Alexa Trax @AlexaTeachTrax]

Awesome resource! Thanks @DrVirtuality 😊

@CLebbo @SpecialEDChat Functioning labels are disliked by the autistic community because some appearing to be 'functioning' well tells you nothing about their internal processes and how they foe outside of that one context. Functioning is now seen as a spider web.

@hablackburn20 @DrJacieMaslyk @IssuesInEdu @etr_in @iste @Eduporium @DrVirtuality Very helpful! Thanks Hannah!

[Alexa Trax @AlexaTeachTrax]

@mssciandmath Wow, they have a lot of great tips for pre service teachers on getting certifications in many different subjects! Thanks Halleigh!

[Alexa Trax @AlexaTeachTrax]

@Hannah88332451 I loved reading the “My Weird School” series by Dan Gutman in elementary school. My first grade teacher would read them aloud in class and I liked them so much I started reading them on my own.

[Alexa Trax @AlexaTeachTrax]

Wishing you luck on your first day of preschool Mrs. Trax! I hope I can be as great of a teacher as you some day! Keep on smiling under your mask😁 #firstdayofschool2020 #pstpln

[Alexa Trax @AlexaTeachTrax]

@acoustimac Thank you so much!

[Alexa Trax @AlexaTeachTrax]

Does anyone in the #pstpln community have any suggestions for early childhood educators to follow on Twitter? I’m looking to build my professional learning community!

[Alexa Trax @AlexaTeachTrax]

@acoustimac Thanks for the tip! Right now I have a Diigo account to save all of my resources to.
