@BarnellNicole @csubted Thank you to the #caubted professors for putting on the #edte4200 slow chat! It was a great way to connect with and learn from and with all my classmates and other #edte4200 peers @Duncannedd

@RalphZellers @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes I think gamification really helps students stay on-task and engaged! Making learning fun is super important at any age. You can also use gameification techniques for assessments, such as Kahoot.

@lawsonp2024 @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes Pamela, sharing their presentations on PowerPoint is a great way for students to share their projects while also showing individuality! Google Slides is a great alternative for group presentations. There are also tons of presentation sites like Canva.

@Ststansberry @doctor2pi @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes A4) I’ll use technology at the elementary level to enhance students learning with sites like Kahoot, EdPuzzle, & Khan Academy, while also increasing my classroom management with sites like ClassDojo #CSUBTED #edte4200 @Duncannedd

@JHrnandzVilla @tom_karnes @Duncannedd Technological literacy is a big issue. I know my local library offers free courses on basic computer skills and there’s a few computers there available for public use.

[Emily Leighton @Emily_L4200]

@Salto_Leydi @tom_karnes @Ststansberry Great idea! Partnering with these places is much less expensive than hand outing technology and hotspots and eliminates the risk of students not being technology back. Schools can also recommend places that already have tons of resources like public libraries.

@mportillo7673 @doctor2pi Marina, I like that in addition to using Google Translate as a writing tool, ELLs can also use the microphone button to say unfamiliar words. Some languages also offer pronunciations of the translations, as well as the ability to copy or search Google for the translations.

@KierstenSCSUB @doctor2pi I've never heard of FlipGrid. I will have to add that to my list of resources! Thank you for the suggestion.

@doctor2pi @Duncannedd A2) Grammarly can help ELLs. It easily be used as a website or an extension. Grammarly helps with spelling and different grammar conventions. They also explain why they are suggesting changes (redundancy, improper tense, etc.).

@tom_karnes A3) Barriers to tech include no: devices, wifi, & info about tech. We can help through devices & hotspots at school (potentially sent home), remind community members of public resources (ex: libraries), & teach students technological literacy #CSUBEDTE4200 #CSUBTED @Duncannedd

@RaquelVal_ @Duncannedd @csubted @CSUBakersfield @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @jse_CSUB Nice to meet you Raquel! I’m also in my post baccalaureate program prepping for the multiple subject program. I was a preschool teacher from 2014-2020. In 2021-2022 I was bumped up to student support for 4th grade. Definitely different, but still rewarding!

[Emily Leighton @Emily_L4200]

@ellyyssssaa @BarnellNicole Elyssa, great idea! Websites like ClassDojo and their point system would be a good tool for this.

[Emily Leighton @Emily_L4200]

@dobbyysock @BarnellNicole @doctor2pi Madison, great ideas! I also like that tech allows students to send peers (and teachers) messages. That takes off some stress and can lead to getting to know how we learn and build relationships better.

[Emily Leighton @Emily_L4200]

@BarnellNicole A1) Technology can be used to foster relationships w/ students by allowing students to send messages to you & other students, collaborate on assignments, work together to build a positive classroom environment, & help make learning fun! #csubedte #csubedte4200 @Duncannedd

@Duncannedd @csubted @CSUBakersfield @BarnellNicole @tom_karnes @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @jse_CSUB Hi everyone! My name is Emily. I’m taking this class with Dr @Duncannedd to prepare for the multiple subject credential program. I’m hoping to teach lower elementary (K-3). I currently substitute teach. #csubted

This is my first tweet for #CSUBEDTE4200. I've already learned so much about how to use technology in the classroom and found some great resources. At first I was nervous since I didn't grow up with technology in the classroom. Now I'm excited to see what I can do next! #csubted
