Hello, I am Mr. Humes and I am a seventh grade ELA teacher for an amazing district. I enjoy teaching literacy skills to my students using various technologies.
RT I always believe collaboration is key... in modern times, more than ever. Technology is not easy, so the more hands on deck #thebetter#EDLR795#edtechchat@DrVirtuality
@ISTECommunity@DavidJLockett@eTwinzEDU@jasontries @TaraLinney @timneedles@MrsKannekens@DrVirtuality @TLJamesA @gret @kendreperry A3. Collaboration is key! Working together towards goal achievement,using the school strategic plan as a true north while being flexible and making adjustments when necessary, making data-driven/informed decisions that will have a positive impact in students' leaning.
@ajpodchaski A6 @DrVirtuality this is something I can definitely do a better job with. I would say the implementation of online modes of learning to create arguments based on evidence. #EDLR795#edtechchat
@ajpodchaski Use of technology can drastically reduce the amount of paper and ink that are being used by eliminating the need for textbooks, workbooks, and copies from a copier.

A3: I think we need to have the discussions about refresh cycles on equipment - why do we need a new device every year that drains the world of precious resources. How do we charge using renewable energy? There are more #edtechchat
@ajpodchaski A1 @DrVirtuality as a building... nothing. However, as a grade level we are planning a field trip to Penn State Behrend for a trip that ties engineering and the environment. #EDLR795
@ajpodchaski A2 @DrVirtuality for my three years in the classroom, I have implemented argumentative writing pieces. Students have to access online articles through Scholastic Scope and utilize Google docs and Google slides to relay there debate. #lookingformoreprojectbasedideas
I believe as leaders, we have the responsibility to ensure that our staff are properly taught the best strategies in regards to implementing digital citizenship practices for our students. Social media if used properly, is an amazing ed tool #edchat#teachertwitter@DrVirtuality
Give @MsZunic a follow. Not only is the material insightful, but the quotes she finds remind me why I want to teach/lead. I would also follow @MrsKannekens because you will find webinar opportunities to expand your network #EDLR795#edchat#satchat#engchat@DrVirtuality
Sharing this article due to the fact that I teach in a Vocational High School! We do very well with getting our students out into our local community. @DrVirtuality#EDLR795
