Throughout the course of the class we've used a lot of different digital tools. What were some if your favorites? #IM422

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

I think that the continues creation of new and fun digital resources is gonna be a big part of education. For my other IM students, do you guys have any you've created that you wanna share?#IM422

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

I know a lot of people use google tools to create content and resources. How do you guys feel about google?#IM422

@alfobee @canva Looks good to me. Well done.

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

@alfobee I think it's kind pf hard to say that one is more effective than the other.

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

@EmileyHoffman Interesting read. Worth taking a look at.

@AaronSoderholm This was pushed on me heavily throughout my schooling so this shined a new light on the concept for me. Have to wonder why we push this concept so heavily despite it having no real support.

@AlexPankratz3 I've noticed all too often that creators get carried away with what they can do with their content and not how others interact with it.

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

Give this article that I found a look. I think it had a lot of good ideas https://t.co/c9uzgq9Ruw #IM422

I'm fairly new to digital content so I was wondering if you guys had any tips? #IM422

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

@logan_payne00 Good list of tools I'll be sure to use!

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

I think that a good tip for making digital content is to make it interactive. If it's boring then it won't make much of a difference. #IM422

@kohn_evie Personally one of the skills I think we don't emphasize enough is leadership. Everyone can be a leader but often times in classrooms one or two people will always take the lead.

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

I think incorporating technology into lessons can also be a great way to teach them new skills. We can ue it to teach them anywhere from tech skills to collaboration and critical thinking #IM422

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

When I was in school, I always wished there was a heavier emphasis in connecting content to the real world. Does anyone else feel this way? #IM422

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

@AlexPankratz3 Asking questions was a big one for me. When I was in high school I really struggled to seek help when I needed it. Enouraging students to seek help is very inportant.

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

Aside from out content areas, what do you think are the most important skills for us to teach students? #IM422

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

@kohn_evie Agreed and I still didn't get my cursive perfect 🤷‍♂️

[Ethan Murphy @EthanMu04176503]

Tools in the classroom are important for students and teachers. What're some tools you think are good to help teachers stay organized? #IM422
