https://t.co/6QF4D9C3b3 So many schools and programs could take note from this incredibly positive AT experience! When people are dedicated to making sure students have the proper AT and the teachers, aids, etc have the proper training change can really take place #elmsedu

@Mrs_HollyHunter These tools can make such a difference in a child's academic life! I would have loved to use electronic worksheets in elementary and middle school. I wonder if they could be modified to meet early childcare needs? #elmsedu

[Jacki Hymanson @HymansonJacki]

@Ms_Gaschott I love how accessible and informative this website is! The video especially clarified various kinds of AT and explained very well the potential outside of computers and tablets. #ElmsEdu

[Jacki Hymanson @HymansonJacki]

@Miss_Kelly_P Love these tips! Having multiple ways of communicating instructions can be especially helpful in a large class full of varied learning styles and stages. #ElmsEdu

[Jacki Hymanson @HymansonJacki]

https://t.co/2hPozbZPIE Here are some great examples of UDL in the classroom! I especially feel having flexible work spaces is necessary to foster all learning styles. #ElmsEdu

@Ms_Gaschott These are so great! I love the idea of using Skype for virtual field trips, too! All of the options Skype provides sound really interesting! I especially liked the idea of visiting the dinosaur fossil museum when we were doing that assignment last week. #ElmsEdu

@Mrs_HollyHunter Great article! A lot of people tend to focus on the detriments of technology to children, but this pointed out some benefits I didn't even think about. Mainly, it helping with motivation to finish tasks. Very good points! #ElmsEdu

https://t.co/htbK4dtETJ This article has a lot of interesting ideas for using Google Maps in the classroom. Most of these are for older grades but I feel could easily be adapted for younger classrooms! Lots of great ideas here! #ElmsEdu

[Jacki Hymanson @HymansonJacki]

https://t.co/yOOkYK0V7T So many great ideas for using Skype in the classroom! I had never even heard of Mystery Skype before but having children use critical thinking to figure out where in the world a classroom is located is brilliant! #ElmsEdu

[Jacki Hymanson @HymansonJacki]

https://t.co/O00OeIWpzi Virtual Field trips provide endless opportunities for adventure inside the classroom. I especially love how VR sets can be adapted to the classroom rather than just for gaming purposes. Lets students feel as though they are really on the trip! #ElmsEdu

[Jacki Hymanson @HymansonJacki]

@Ms_Gaschott Social and emotional skills are so important! Especially in young children. This is such a great way to build both in any classroom. The focus on empathy is fantastic. #ElmsEdu

[Jacki Hymanson @HymansonJacki]

@Miss_MorseCode Connecting with different cultures and places is my favorite part of the online world. Being able to bring that into the classroom via Virtual Fieldtrips is such a great way to open up the world to our students. Love it! #ElmsEdu

[Jacki Hymanson @HymansonJacki]

@Mrs_HollyHunter I love how this article breaks down exactly how the 4 Cs can be applied in the classroom. I would love to try the Garden mural, too! #ElmsEdu

[Jacki Hymanson @HymansonJacki]

@Miss_Kelly_P "Creative thinking encourages children to feel safe taking risks" honestly that is so important to building self confidence and knowing their ideas, talents, and passions have value. #ElmsEdu

[Jacki Hymanson @HymansonJacki]

https://t.co/rOwFlXk1Dz This article discusses two philosophies to implementing technology in the classroom. The SAMR model seems to be useful in determining the impact of technology in the classroom but realize it's up to the teacher to bring meaning to it. Thoughts? #ElmsEdu

[Jacki Hymanson @HymansonJacki]

https://t.co/gYkGfFGDXT This article does a great job explaining the most important aspects to being a digital citizen as a student: being safe, social, and savvy. I especially enjoyed the positive emphasis on the social possibilities while encouraging caution.

@Miss_Kelly_P Technology can be so beneficial to those with learning disabilities. I struggled with note taking due to fine motor issues as a kid. With the help of speech to text programs and such accommodations are much less obvious. #ElmsEdu

[Jacki Hymanson @HymansonJacki]

@Ms_Gaschott This is a great example of ways the iPad can be used as an accommodation and not just a means of entertainment. This very much reminds me of the tablets used by some relatives of mine to communicate because they are nonverbal. So many possibilities. #ElmsEdu
