@Emily30709309 @beckham6to4 @CarlonMariana I feel the same way! These tech nights can only do so much and it often only reaches a small percentage of our families so we have to know that most of them are in the dark #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

@visualprint_dt I was just thinking about this too! All of my friends who have posted their pictures of their aged faces now have all of their information freely given away! Scary stuff #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

@the_math_gal Exactly my same thoughts. I didn't even realize the tracking that was happening through "Big Data"! #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

A6: Marginalized students are often using supplemental technological programs to help bridge the gap, but are these programs being fully analyzed before placing students on them? Is it fully understood how the programs collect data on students? #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

A5: I absolutely think that most parents are unaware of all of the data collected not only by schools, but also by the online programs that their children use. I think that minority students have a further disadvantage because of the language barriers #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

A4: Like Bethany said, it starts with transparency and should be the first layer of protection for students. I liked how Reidenberg and Schaub stated that it should be an "integral aspect" instead of "afterthoughts" #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

A3: With more schools using social media and data collection programs, it is vital for parents to agree to whether or not their children will be shown on these platforms. With only opt out forms as Mariana shared, it alienates some families from truly understanding #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

A2: We use Aeries to record all of the students' data of personal and academic information from their entire time in LMUSD. Parents and students must sign an internet agreement each year, but this only involves access to the internet at school #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

A1: Similarly to the Zoom discussion members, I was clearly more unaware than I thought I was. I knew that when using different applications, I agree to certain data policies, but it is different with children. I hope it does not lead to tracking of private data #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

@DWhite90708442 Yes, my grade level partner has started a Google folder of all different EDC's that I can share with you!

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

A6. I love integrating more Engineering Design Challenges (EDC's). I keep finding more connections to social studies, science, and literature content and the students love them! Gets their mind going and puts their cooperative and engineering skills to the test! #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

@clemmywinebox I loved this one too, Alicia! I think that this would be an awesome connection for storyboarding with your students. How would you ensure that your EL students are supported in this collaborative activity?

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

@gogabbyteach Love this Gabby! Totally agree. How do you have your students collaborate using technology?

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

@SesseJanford It was awesome! This is how collaboration should be all the time, in any capacity that we are working in

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

A5. I loved seeing the "Introduction to Dynamic Land". This awesome computer is actually a piece of paper, but allows for people to interact with each other and the materials both digitally and physically https://t.co/MziCGqG5ax

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

@visualprint_dt It was so sad to hear! Transportation would have been an issue too, but the program costs over $100 so I don't know what scholarships were available. I'm hoping that she'll be able to participate one day :)

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

A1. One of my previous students was an artist. I tried to have her participate in a summer art program but with her parents both working and no scholarship, it was not possible for her. She could have vastly developed her skills into a very possible future career #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

A4. Teachers as "change agents" involves taking the time to learn how and when connected learning can take place in the classroom. Like @ms_stocking said, PBL can be one avenue to begin your journey to connected learning #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

A3. Loved the graphic of the intersection of student interests, relationship, and opportunities to create connected learning in our classrooms. It also really resonated with me when @ms_stocking said how all students should have this opportunity regardless of SES #SummerEdTech

[Alissa Case @AlissaCase16]

A2 As @visualprint_dt quoted, connected learning should allow technology to "support and wrap around the students" as they navigate communicating with experts, but not infringe on their privacy as students (@the_math_gal) I love being at an IB school for this reason #SummerEdTech
