@AdamsEmilylynn I don't always have time to play games with my MLL students, but with my older students, I have used Kahoot. They love it! I have not used Gimkit or Blooket, but I know they like those and use them in their classrooms. #wuedt6020

@Mysticnocturne I'd say 4th grade should be able to navigate online platforms successfully. Kids can easily learn and figure out how things work, and 9/10 is a good age. For something like Blogger, I'd say age 12/13 due to its complexity to create from scratch. #wuedt6020

@KviiilynM I think AI is a great way to support struggling teachers! AI helps save time with creating, and auto generates a many things for you. You can use it for report card comments when you're stuck, and it can be a great tool when you're in a pinch. #wuedt6020

@emily_osterman1 I have small groups and it's much easier for me to monitor students online. In regular ed classrooms, our district utilizes Securly Teacher, so we can monitor tabs that students have open while working. I think it is a great tool to have! #wuedt6020

@CmfFisher @CmfFisher yes! Sciences would be awesome to try it out with! There is so much that can be done with it. Have you had any experience with VR/AR before? #wuedt6020

[Beth Farrell @B_Farrell9]

VR, anyone? #wuedt6020

[Beth Farrell @B_Farrell9]

@K_Correll1001 Karley- The ones we have, come with an iPad, and the app is d/l on it for us. Teachers choose which VR activity to do, and it syncs with the class set. (Easy!) Each student follows along with their phone and headset. Teachers control it all! #wuedt6020

@emily_osterman1 I can definitely see money as an issue. I think ours was through a grant. I wonder if you could make a donors choose to raise $ for a class set. Worth looking into! #wuedt6020

@KinderJM24 I started in my current district a year ago. My 5th graders finished a lesson on animals, and I was talking to a coworker about how awesome it would be to do VR. She told me that our school has a class set that we all share. The kids LOVED it and it was easy!

[Beth Farrell @B_Farrell9]

@KinderJM24 @KFranklin923 We have VR headsets and use the app Expeditions Pro. Google Earth is another great place to "see the world." Also, if you google "virtual field trips," you will find some great ones! Good luck! #wuedt6020

@ldlred4 @KFranklin923 I love this idea. If you do this, I bet students get a lot of exciting recipes to try and maybe even a story to go along with it. Great way to connect globally! #wuedt6020

[Beth Farrell @B_Farrell9]

@MeganBarne83105 @KFranklin923 We do the same in my school and it seems to be working. I know on social media, parents can change the language to suit their needs, which is a great way to increase parent involvement. #wuedt6020

[Beth Farrell @B_Farrell9]

@emily_osterman1 @KFranklin923 I thought the exact same thing about pen pals. For my daughter's Girl Scout troop, we learned about writing to a certain troop via social media. It's really a great tool. #wuedt6020

@AdamsEmilylynn @KFranklin923 I have never used Blooket, but the kids talk about it often. What kinds of assessments did you use A.I imaging for? How did the kids stay engaged? #wuedt6020

[Beth Farrell @B_Farrell9]

@AlexisWilmu6020 @MeganBarne83105 @KFranklin923 I love your ideas! I agree, anything tech based holds students' attention. I wonder how hard using AI would be in classrooms. I don't know much about AI, but would love to learn more! I think it's great to be able to reach students in new and creative ways! #wuedt6020

[Beth Farrell @B_Farrell9]

@KviiilynM @KFranklin923 I have not heard of any of those except Minecraft because my son plays it. How difficult would it be to tie into your curriculum? Would you play them often, or just once for students to try? #wuedt6020

[Beth Farrell @B_Farrell9]

@KviiilynM @KFranklin923 It's a hassle free way to take a field trip and never leave the classroom!The kids are engaged and it's all they talk about for days.
