@mrbartucz A5: an important part of equity is recognizing the value of diverse abilities, so I will attend as many extracurricular functions like sporting events, meets, and performances as I can to show students that all of their passions are valuable #ci5307 @MrMonsonTech

@mrbartucz A4: I think @Sci_Phile is absolutely incredible. His YouTube channel is a great mix of fun applications of science to pop culture, as well as deep dives into pressing topics like climate change and nuclear energy. #ci5307 @MrMonsonTech

@mrbartucz A3: I wish our program went more deeply into student assessment. We've had lots of discussion on highly effective pedagogy that challenges traditional assumptions, but little discussion on assessment to match. #ci5307 @MrMonsonTech

@mrbartucz A2: This year I will use Jamboard to give students hoice and voice. Jamboard gives students a variety of tools with which to express their thinking, leaving behind the restrictiveness of text-only, and allows their ideas to be shared publicly with the class #ci5307 @MrMonsonTech

@mrbartucz A1: I will focus on designing lesson plans that meet the needs of learners who need more time to learn while giving high achieving students materials to keep them engaged. #ci5307

@missalytru @MrMonsonTech I've been thinking too about how not all students will have equal access to tech and how that can affect equity. In these situations we really have to stretch ourselves for how we can still incorporate tech. Could bringing in our (teachers) own devices be part of that? #ci5307

@MuinBanyal @MrMonsonTech This is definitely still an important skill, and it's only getting more important in the age of asynchronous learning. It can also be a useful skill to have for fun and hobbies. Additionally, how could you incorporate video editing into a physics class? #ci5307

[Jared Sorensen @JaredSorensen]

@GQuin3088 @MrMonsonTech There will be variation in the tech skills of your students, which makes engaging prior knowledge of tech just as important as prior knowledge of content. You could plan your lessons where you include tech accordingly, focusing more on aspects where your students struggle #ci5307

@swabludude @MrMonsonTech Big yes to tech hobbies as sources of learning. I've learned some basics of coding from making mods for videogames. I've also learned puzzle solving and even communication skills from videogames. It would be great to find ways to work these ideas directly into class #ci5307

[Jared Sorensen @JaredSorensen]

I think students learning 21st century skills is essential to science education because these are skills they will need regardless of what career they pursue, but especially careers in STEM. Use of technology for data analysis and communication are just a couple examples. #ci5307

YT video applies principles of biology to LotR. It's great practice because the science is sound, but also brings in student interests. Without the internet though, students can't find content like this. What are some other examples of content like this? #ci5307 (2/2)

[Jared Sorensen @JaredSorensen]

https://t.co/kAZvjSJDaF One of the core parts of 21st century learning is of course the internet, giving students access to more information than ever before. This can create opportunities to allow your students to connect their interests to class content. For example, this (1/2)
