@HildaObeso @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @joceperezCSUB Hi Hilda,

I also said Google translate however I didn’t even consider duolingo. It’s such a big app that it would be perfect to get ELL students plugged in with that. What a great suggestion!

@kassidy_mason2 @Ststansberry @joceperezCSUB Hi kassidy,

I’ve heard really good things about Alexis. After reading your brief explanation I truly think I am going to looking further into. It sounds like a great tool that can be greatly beneficial to my future ELL students

[Josh Alva @JoshAlva__]

@Ststansberry @joceperezCSUB A3) I would use & equip my students with Google translate. It would help them gain a better understanding of the English language, as they can directly see what the English word would be. Once they get this understanding then they could fully succeed. @MaddernBryan

@KUTR_BCSD @csubted @doctor2pi @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @MaddernBryan Thank you for this amazing opportunity. It was a new and very interactive assignment. I read so many great options that I wouldn’t have without this assignment. #CSUBTED

@CDpanchi @MaddernBryan @SarahCeja03 @Ststansberry Hi Daniel,

I really like how you mentioned what type of learner you are. I also am best with visuals and I think YouTube is great for this. There are many students that these videos can be a benefit too. It also would just make learning much more creative and enjoyable.

@Mari05678 @MaddernBryan @SarahCeja03 @Duncannedd @csubted Hi Maria,
I wanna say how I think this is a great idea. There are so many kids who aren’t motivated to participate but I think listening to their music would help. However, I think schools fear what they would actually be doing as they can’t really monitor.

@MaddernBryan @SarahCeja03 A4) The technology tool that I wish was implemented when I was in school was Flipgrid. I love how this provides a face to face discussion without having to be face to face. It would have provided more interaction than discussion boards. @MaddernBryan #CSUBTED #CSUBEDTE4200

@gguerrero0305 @tom_karnes @CsubMadelyns @Duncannedd Hi Guadalupe,

Things like this really are a struggle for students. Teachers need to start finding alternatives. Some students already struggle financial and don’t need another burden. It’s sucks that assignments have to change last minute but us as educators need to plan ahead.

@HildaObeso @tom_karnes @CsubMadelyns @doctor2pi Hi Hilda,

My experience in high school was definitely similar. Whenever we tried playing things our schools wifi went down. I don’t think they really understood how many teachers depended on it. It was common for our tech supervisor to be called to fix the issue.

[Josh Alva @JoshAlva__]

@tom_karnes @CsubMadelyns A2) In high school I had to collaborate over Google docs with some peers. However we faced many struggles because some students didn’t have a laptop/computer or great wifi. The struggle was there and us as students struggled.

@Taralson @mumofdeux @doctor2pi I absolutely will! Thanks for helping provide this amazing tool

[Josh Alva @JoshAlva__]

@GridPalGeorge @mumofdeux @doctor2pi Thanks for the support. Keep up the amazing work you do at Flipgrid!

[Josh Alva @JoshAlva__]

@mumofdeux @doctor2pi Hey Elle,

Flipgrid is mind blowing. I discovered it last year and I love it. I really enjoy how it’s interactive. Unlike a discussion board we are getting to see the person and their visual emotions. Thinks a discussion board could never do. I’m very happy you brought this up!

@LYSS_GURON @doctor2pi Hi Alyssa,

I fully agree with you. Google classroom is such a great communication device. Students are so used to technology so we need to take advantage. This is a great resource as like you said assignments and grading are all done/seen online. Great Job!

[Josh Alva @JoshAlva__]

@doctor2pi A1) The technology recourse for me would have to be Kahoot. It’s a great way to get my students involved. Study guides for test can be useful but kids get bored of them easily. So this is a great way to make study fun and creative. @MaddernBryan #CSUBEDTE4200 #CSUBTED

@CsubMadelyns @Duncannedd @csubted @CSUBakersfield @doctor2pi @tom_karnes @Ststansberry @MaddernBryan @KUTR_BCSD @Katie_Padrick @SarahCeja03 Hey Madelyn,

Congratulations on your masters, that is a huge accomplishment. I originally wanted to do 8th grade but I have a heart for the littles and that’s what made me switch to elementary. I volunteer with the jr high at my church so I know how funny they are! Great job.

That’s so cool to hear how you are making a difference. I’m currently taking a language class here at CSUB. We are learning what you are currently doing, how to improve a students English. Great job and keep it up!

@Duncannedd @csubted @CSUBakersfield @doctor2pi @tom_karnes @Ststansberry @MaddernBryan @KUTR_BCSD @Katie_Padrick @CsubMadelyns @SarahCeja03 Hey guys, my name is Josh Alva. I am currently a senior here at CSUB and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m excited to graduate but also to be in a classroom. My ideal grade would be fourth but I’m okay with any in the elementary age. Im excited for this Twitter chat. @MaddernBryan
