That was a great PD! I learned a lot and enjoyed moving around and learning with a team. We even got to play a game at the end! Fun! #rcstechchat https://t.co/Sx9kOQMr1n
A8-I am starting to incorporate stations into my PD sessions. I just did a Twitter sessions with teacher choice and a teacher station based on what the teachers wanted to learn. I want to do more PDs like that. #rcstechchat
A6-I have three different times during the day for 20 minute computer stations....am centers, Literacy stations, and Math stations. I only have four groups in my class, so almost all of my students get on each day. #rcstechchat
A5-I use student computers, iPads, and the Elmo. As far as organization, we go to student resources on our webpage. Thank you @Tibbstechcoach! #rcstechchat
A4-This is so sad, but if I don't to small groups throughout the day I go home and think....Did I even talk to (insert name) today? Small groups are great for instruction but also just to give our students our focused attention. #rcstechchat
@JillPippenger They tell me in the hall every day they have uploaded a picture to @Seesaw Next step we need to add some audio. We might be able to get 3rd grade or MS student to come show them how to do that. It might be fun! #rcstechchat
A3-Letting them choose the activity provides instant ownership and they are immediately hooked. Mine also like to take pictures of their work and upload it to Seesaw. They do their best work because it is going to be shared! #rcstechchat
A2-I use stations that have a variety of activities. They have a "job" and then a "game." They may not enjoy the job, but they will do it to get to the game. #rcstechchat
A1-My favorite part of blended learning is the small group instruction because so many students are intimidated by a whole class discussion. #rcstechchat
A8-Definitely going to check out class dojo. And, I want to make a sparkly poster of the word YET and explain to my kids why that word is so important!!! #rcstechchat
@JillPippenger YAY! I didn't know they did it today! I am so excited! You really just made my night. Those babies are so sweet. I can't wait to come in there again so they can show me their stuff. #rcstechchat
A7-@Tibbstechcoach is great at providing different tech tools for teachers to grow. And, she was just in my class last week showing my Kinders how to post to their SeeSaw folder! And they rocked it by themselves today! #rcstechchat
A6-Yes most definitely at school because a lot of students will not get it at home. We need to build these kids up and let them know they will fail in life, but don't stop! Keep going towards the goal! #rcstechchat
