@MeaghanDrew Using technology in this way is a great way for students to visualize their work and really make it come to life in a way that works for them!
This teacher created a digital menu of digital tools for different math topics for her students to practice! It allows extra practice and it works to meet specific needs of the students as it covers plenty of topics. #gilmaned210
@JuliePurtschert This is a very interesting tool, and I think it is definitely important to note that technology resources and tools can be found for any topic!
This tweet goes along with my SMART goal of gaining confidence about using technology in the classroom. It shows the different steps of hesitations and growth to ultimately comfortably use technology to enhance my lesson plans and activities in the classroom #Gilmaned210
...celebrate these successes. You adapted to the process using technology to teach your pupils and maintained those all important connections. This needs to be acknowledged. Teachers are amazing. Thank you 🙏 10./
Interactive learning menus can help engage students in the work they do by allowing them a choice in their work.Allowing a choice leads to better performances on work as the students will choose what they are the most interested in, motivating them to do a better job #gilmaned210
@kwatt581 I agree that student choice is a key factor in what leads students to learn to the best of their ability! When UDL works to meet the needs and desires of each student, they can accomplish great work.
@SophiaW29792602 I like how you included that scaffolding in this case isn’t just used for those with IEPs, but they allow equal support for all students which is what UDL is all about!
This tweet shows specific examples and ways to incorporate each principal of UDL in classrooms (engagement, representation, action/expression). Schools have been working and discussing the best ways to implement UDL in their classrooms, & this is an example of that. #gilmaned210
We are learning how to implement UDL in our classrooms using engagement, representation, action & expression. Using 🎳, we are striking out the old and bringing new choices using UDL. UDL is right up our alley! 🎳#zepsuseUDL
@KatieBlouin02 I also am planning on using a simulation in my lesson, and I think this article is definitely truthful when it explains how engaging and hands on simulations are for students.
I want to use a simulation in my lesson,& this article does a great job explaining how useful simulations are in the classroom, how to use and find them, & how to introduce them to students. It explains how simulations get students involved and engaged in their work. #gilmaned210
Interested in using simulations in your online classroom? This guide will help you understand what to look for when selecting a simulation and how to leverage the experience to maximize learning and student engagement.

This infographic shows ways that each part of the SAMR model can be actively used in the classroom. I really like the specific examples it gives and inspires me to think further into ways I can use technology in my own classroom. #gilmaned210
This article and video talked about using the 4 C’s in education through technology. It discussed how educators can use resources like google drive in their classrooms two encourage connections, communication, and creativity. #gilmaned210
@maureen_gilman This addresses how being a life long learner requires society the ability to stay up to date with new technology. He also highlights that we must "turn learning into an iterative process more than just a test and move on practice".#gilmaned210#transformativeteaching
After COVID happened and the clear digital divide some students faced due to not having equal technological resources as their peers was exposed, different foundations took notice and schools are working towards equal access and resources among their students. #gilmaned210
With the return to schools, we can't lose sight of the digital divide in education that the pandemic exposed. Lack of broadband access and lack of access to devices impact educational equity. https://t.co/r8rEuFKx8S
This article talks a lot about students being distracted in the classroom- whether they’re on their phones or on random websites. It talks about a program teachers can use- a browser that allows teachers to limit students to the specific website they’ll use in class #gilmaned210
With the surge in classroom technology use, a few edtech companies have stepped up to combat the issues schools are facing on a daily basis. Learn how this EdTech startup helps teachers solve the digital distraction problem -> https://t.co/LlaK4tlTTI
This tweet relates to my SMART goal of getting more comfortable with technology & using its resources. The use of technology has been extremely relevant recently especially with COVID&quarantine, & teachers had to adjust & get more familiar with technology to succeed.#gilmaned210
