Working with the cubelets was a lot of fun. I enjoyed that we were able to build several different robots with only a few cubes. #edps3140

Trying to make a bridge out of cards and paper clips was very frustrating. I think letting your students get frustrated in an activity, such as this one, it good because it allows your students to gain motivation skills to persevere when faced with difficulty. #edps3140

Making a catapult out of Popsicles, rubber bands, and binder clips was extremely difficult. Although, I liked that the activity pushed us to use our imagination. #edps3140

Trying to figure out how to get Ollie to make a good triangle was hard. But it was a fun experience any way. #edps3140

I think a lip sync battle or a big game of twister would be pretty fun. I don't know, it might just be me thinking it would be funny to see. #utedchat #edps3140

A Lip sync battle would be awesome! 100% would be up for that! #utedchat #edps3140 https://t.co/i9TMpQxMVu

A5: I would like to attend a speech from Morgan Freeman or Malala Yousafazi. If I could attend one from both of them that would be even better! #utedchat #edps3140

@vb_kristin I couldn't agree more. It would amazing, to say the least.

A3: It's important to have a PLN because than you create a stronger and more supportive bond with the educators you work with in the group. Getting to work F2F also helps for working with others on ideas. #utedchat #edps3140

I just realized I forgot to introduce myself. Hi my name is Hannah and I'm a freshman at the University of Utah. I'm planning to major in elementary education! #utedchat

A2: My favorite place to learn about others is in my education classes. There are so many people that come from different backgrounds and walks of life. There are also people of different age groups so I get to learn even more about people! #utedchat #edps3140

A1: It's definitely still important to attend physically conferences because then you get to understand others teachings in person. You can also bounce off ideas with others better in physical conferences! #utedchat

A3: Modeling how to use social media would allow students to understand the appropriate ways to use it. This could be useful at any age since social media is commonly used now. #edps3140

[Hannah Abarca @HannahAbarca3]

A2: I think the most used social media platform that parents would already be on is Facebook. It is easy to use and most of them have probably had an account for a while so they understand how to maneuver on it. #edps3140

A1: Using a PLN would allow me to get in touch with other teachers and collaborate with them. I could also share and gain new ideas with them. #edps3140

Hi my name is Hannah and my favorite animal is a panda. #edps3140

Personally I didn't really like making the SAM video because it was a long process. It took a long time and I had to take a lot of photos. Although, I do think students would be able to show their creative side with this and they would enjoy it. #EDPS3140

[Hannah Abarca @HannahAbarca3]

Making an educational video that could relate to our students was a great a experience I had today. We made stop motion videos about the growth of plants and the parts within the plants. #EDPS3140

[Hannah Abarca @HannahAbarca3]

I think the problem teachers have with personalizing lessons for students is that every student is not on the same academic level. Students could be put into groups that would be more focused on what they need help on but it isn't focused enough for each student. #edps3140

[Hannah Abarca @HannahAbarca3]

I think that both a quiz and a blog could be beneficial as a formative assessment. But I think that a blog would be a better way to get more insightful feedback.Students could have access to their teacher and answers to their questions within the discussion board. #edps3140
