@BrittanySantoni Remind has been my favorite parent/teacher communication tool. I love being able to send out group messages, scheduling messages ahead of time, and even being able to send pictures of paperwork coming home. #wuedt6020
@yulievazquez Remind has been my favorite parent/teacher communication tool. However, screencasts have been great for differentiation during small group rotations. #wuedt6020
@Annaa_Mitchell While I think using social media for in school communication/activities has it merits, there is also a great chance for misuse. I feel there would have to be a lot of communication with district personnel before this could be considered. #wuedt6020
@Annaa_Mitchell I like that you use schoology for both individual and group needs. Students individual needs are met but they can also be working as a group as well. #wuedt6020
@SKashner Being able to take verbal answers also allows for more explanation on the students end that you can't get from written or typed responses. I always hear students say, "What I meant was..." when referencing written answers. #wuedt6020
@Santoro_Wilmu I haven’t used either of those programs but will definitely be checking them out. I like that they not only allow students to move at their own pace but they they have extra support materials as well. #wuedt6020
@EdTechJen My district uses Dreambox too. Students can use it at school or home to reinforce the skills from class. It also allows me to check student progress immediately. #wuedt6020
@Hannah08CH@Seesaw I like the idea of students and parents being able to preview information but also that they have the ability to look it over multiple times to grasp the concept. #wuedt6020
@SKashner I’ve had students type up their papers but haven’t tried doing a recording of their work before. I think students would really enjoy this option. Thanks! #wuedt6020
@CanfieldBlaise@RoeEDT I love the idea of students being able to share how they learn and practice different math skills. Students learning from one another globally would be a great academic and life experience. #wuedt6020
@gattuso_ms@RoeEDT Thanks for blog resource tip on Quadblogging. I like that it allows everyone to share their ideas/input but also to be the focal point as well. #wuedt6020
@CaitlinWilmu@RoeEDT Exposing students to different classrooms and cultures around the world will help expand their background knowledge for the future. Great points! #wuedt6020
@RoeEDT I still receive letters requesting to be pen pals with other classes. Using one of the many video chat options my students could see, speak to, and learn from students and teachers from around the world. The life experience and diversity would be great for my kids! #wuedu6020
@RoeEDT Totally missed answering the 2nd question. The place I would use a Virtual Assistant the most would probably in writing. I know it would be very helpful during our research writing unit, as well as helping my students with spelling.
@RoeEDT I’m going to look into add into Virtual Assistant to my classroom when I return. With the help of my tech team, I think my students could really benefit from this technology. #wuedt6020
@BrittanySantoni Mobile learning is a great trend to ass to your classroom. I love that you pointed out how parents will be able to be a part of the learning as well. #wuedt6020
@Mgray0012 I agree that gamification would be a great addition to any classroom. Students tend to be very competitive and often don’t realize how much they’re learning when play games. #wuedt6020
