“Simply adding technology to the classroom, but changing nothing else, is absurd. Focus on instruction and creating the conditions for powerful learning before anything else. So when we do use technology, it will be your rocket fuel” (#SeymourPapert). #engagingmolloy @kemnitzer3

#Google offers so many tools to help teachers prepare, plan and organize lessons. From google docs to google slides, the tools are endless. I am a fan of collaborating with my science department at #THMS to create and plan lessons! #engagingmolloy @kemnitzer3

#Buncee is such a great tool to utilize in the classroom to promote student engagement, active learning and building knowledge on a specific topic. Challenge students to research a topic and create a Buncee presentation. #engagingmolloy @kemnitzer3 https://t.co/IizTq0MfIo

Promote Moonshot Thinking in the classroom! Provide students with opportunities to explore the content and curriculum rather than learn everything directly from the teacher. This teaching strategy promotes critical thinking and autonomous learning. #engagingmolloy @kemnitzer3

Landline teaching strategies and advanced Wifi students?🤔 This disconnect in education is real and we must act to rectify the problem. Let’s promote the use of technology in the classroom to meet our Wifi students at their learning levels and styles. #engagingmolloy @kemnitzer3

Turtle Hook Middle School #scholars taking on the role of paleontologists and archaeologists as they create their own fossils in Living Environment. #brandyourclassroom #schoolbranding #engagingmolloy @kemnitzer3

My students using #Peardeck in their 8th grade Living Environment class! What a great tool to actively engage students in the learning process while also strengthening knowledge on content specific vocabulary. #THMS #engagingmolloy @kemnitzer3

Flip the grid with #Flipgrid in the #classroom! Promote student choice and voice in the classroom with this social learning platform. Have students collaborate with one another on a short video or allow them to create their own exit ticket! #engagingmolloy @kemnitzer3

Societal issues exist in today’s world, unfortunately. BUT! As educators, we can provide students with the tools and technology necessary to educated and enlighten themselves on the issues we face. #technologyforall #engagingmolloy @kemnitzer3

[Jamie Corrao @JamieCorrao2]

Technology is a great tool to utilize to close the achievement gap. Often times, lack of achievement stems from students’ lack of interest/motivation. By simply utilizing technology, we are addressing the gap issues by implementing tools students are interested in. @kemnitzer3

@kemnitzer3 @thms Yes! This is a community and district wide #brand. All members of the community including teachers, administration, and parents are now referring to all Uniondale students as #scholars.

[Jamie Corrao @JamieCorrao2]

All students @THMS are valued scholars that are capable of achieving success and it starts with being a #scholar who demonstrates #character. THMS is terrific (trustworthy, empathy, respect, responsibility, integrity, fairness, interdependence, compassion)! @kemnitzer3 #THMS

Why haven’t we changed our relationship with knowledge? #BillBrennan discusses how our youth are growing up in a digitally dependent world, yet we have not changed our relationship with knowledge to match that of a digitally dependent world. Where is the disconnect? @kemnitzer3

[Jamie Corrao @JamieCorrao2]

What is intelligence in the 21st century? #BillBrennan brings up many good points on defining intelligence. In such a digitally dependent world, measuring intelligence has evolved immensely. Can we solely rely on standardized tests to measure intelligence? @kemnitzer3

[Jamie Corrao @JamieCorrao2]

Interdependence is an understatement. Watch #macrowikinomics #murmuration by @dtapscott to fully grasp how powerful interdependence can be among Starlings. As individuals, Starlings can be considered doomed. But as a whole, they are a force to be reckoned with. @kemnitzer3

[Jamie Corrao @JamieCorrao2]

Collaboration at its finest! @dtapscott #macrowikinomics #murmuration. Starlings demonstrate one of the most impressive displays of murmuration, where they collaborate for protection, communication and maintaining body temperature. #collaboration @kemnitzer3

@LRuggiero221 @MrsJessicaRyan I do the same! My science department colleagues are so interested in what I am learning in this class. They are just a little nervous about actually using it themselves in class. But once I show them, they are so relieved. #brandyourclass

Q5. I take the time to introduce and show colleagues how to use the technology. When they see it in action, especially how easy it makes the lessons run, they are usually more apt to try it. Technology can be scary, but seeing it work always helps. #brandyourclass @MrsJessicaRyan

[Jamie Corrao @JamieCorrao2]

@LRuggiero221 @MrsJessicaRyan I have heard of padlet and have seen it in action before, I have just never utilized it in my classroom. I will definitely try it! #brandyourclass

[Jamie Corrao @JamieCorrao2]

Q2. Currently my digital tattoo is mediocre. After this class, I feel as though my digital tattoo with definitely grow in my classroom, which I am very excited about. I currently use #PearDeck in my classroom as well as #Remind. #brandyourclass @MrsJessicaRyan

[Jamie Corrao @JamieCorrao2]

@LRuggiero221 @MrsJessicaRyan I also use google drive to create and share lesson plans. It is such a great tool to collaborate with colleagues on lessons. As for Pinterest, I am always looking for new science experiments I can implement in the classroom! #brandyourclass

[Jamie Corrao @JamieCorrao2]

Q6. The platforms involving social media and interactive technology are important trends in educational technology. We are moving towards a more tech savvy and tech centered classroom, where students rely heavily on social media for communication. #brandyourclass @MrsJessicaRyan
