@DMSIrish French class virtual trip to Paris, @Plessed2Teach NASA VR in math, and @erms_DCSD to watch Shark Tank presentations to community members!?....#NoCoastingInMay

To quote the great Ric Flair, "S.R.O.! Standing Room Only" @lindie_DCS had them hanging from the rafters in her presentation about the importance of technology coaches to a packed house @itipohio

Awesome to see @DMSIrish @haas220 incorporate Augmented Reality w/@MergeVR on the body systems project, and then show off their findings with a gallery walk

Got to see @kmmc94 in action promoting student choice with class book clubs, then worked with students on creating their own digital bookshelf! Excited to see this project through - creating Sites for each class with rec's and summaries! @DublinSchools

[Jason Parsons, DCS Tech Coach @JParsons_DCS]

@DublinSchools @DMSIrish Davis librarian @MegganAston created a dynamic map via ThingLink for Read Across America with books set in all 50 states! Not only that - book trailers, author talks, and cover art! 🤯 What a creation! https://t.co/uJ3jTPrHiy

@fetc Introduced me to @Flipgrid Immersive Reader and Mic only mode 🤯 Excited to promote these tools for inclusivity!

[Jason Parsons, DCS Tech Coach @JParsons_DCS]

Mad dash for the @DMSIrish book fair! These students were practically busting down the door this morning before school to get new books to read - awesome to see @DublinSchools

[Jason Parsons, DCS Tech Coach @JParsons_DCS]

@DMSIrish French students reading about culture in France -- what better way to extend the lesson than an immersive experience where they can see what they are learning about!

[Jason Parsons, DCS Tech Coach @JParsons_DCS]

@kmmc94 tested out Gimkit Ink today for student feedback - kids loved that their writing had an audience of their teacher AND peers!

[Jason Parsons, DCS Tech Coach @JParsons_DCS]

HUGE thanks for the anonymous parents that bought @KarrerMS lunch! So grateful for your generosity -- everything is better with pretzel buns!

[Jason Parsons, DCS Tech Coach @JParsons_DCS]

Combined Gimkit w/Schoology breakout rooms to play team-style review today & communicate w/team members only. Students requested it and I'm a man of the people!

[Jason Parsons, DCS Tech Coach @JParsons_DCS]

Based on conversations & impromptu trainings I've had with people over Facetime, Google Meet, email, text and good old fashioned phone call, Dublin teachers are doing whatever it takes to make the best of this uncharted territory

[Jason Parsons, DCS Tech Coach @JParsons_DCS]

@KarrerMS @wilch_beth students brainstorming cheers for Andrew Jackson as part of their GooseChase. Quote of the day: "What rhymes with common man?"

[Jason Parsons, DCS Tech Coach @JParsons_DCS]

@gmsDCSD Nickel & Jesenovec's classes - 7 stations, including this religious diffusion game that students loved! Awesome Google Tour of religious sites created by @tecarp! #TheDublinDifference

[Jason Parsons, DCS Tech Coach @JParsons_DCS]

@gmsDCSD 6th grade science cell cake! 👀

@LIVinOn_Aprayer @DMSIrish This was my favorite one - "Hey, the nucleus!"

[Jason Parsons, DCS Tech Coach @JParsons_DCS]

@KarrerMS Mrs. Taylor's students reviewing anonymous peer responses about dialogue in a story using Pear Deck. This learning environment is so cozy & welcoming it's hard for me to leave!

[Jason Parsons, DCS Tech Coach @JParsons_DCS]

@KarrerMS @heath254 Students using @MergeVR to look at Plate boundaries and visualizing the "pieces of the puzzle" - huge variety of instructional tools used in this lesson including awesome shape spelling of vocabulary to demonstrate knowledge of concepts 👏
