@MsVanBalkom @bcedchat Sorry--missed this. It can be videos or pictures of what students are participating in. #bcedchat

@technolandy @bcedchat @Seesaw Thank you for enlightening me! #bcedchat

@technolandy @bcedchat @Seesaw Why is having US storage an issue? #bcedchat

[Karen Wikkerink @KarenWikkerink]

@JanetChowMSc @miss_lsauser @bcedchat @JanetChowMSc -- I was not aware of that. Thanks! #bcedchat

@jfprovencher27 @jfprovencher27: pardon my stupidity, but what was does "Coding to do what you want" mean? #bcedchat

@bcedchat Q1: I try and find an app that is simple-ish to figure out as I'm not super comfortable with technology. It also needs to have a clear purpose that will allow my students to learn and explore.#bcedchat

@JanetChowMSc @bcedchat Thanks @JanetChowMSc . I'm looking forward to seeing how this works! #bcedchat

@HeidiVanweelden @Josie_V_S_ I prefer learning from other educators because they have the background knowledge and experience to know what works (in most situations) and what doesn't. #DC508

@JennHarink If we were to take teaching back to its bare bones, what one thing would improve student learning?

[Karen Wikkerink @KarenWikkerink]

@dvmmoe @UitermJ The heart of education, I believe, is relationship--no matter how much technology infiltrates our classrooms.

[Karen Wikkerink @KarenWikkerink]

@UitermJ @FaithBierma That's just it--we learned how to problem solve!!! Do our students have the same ability to do so? #DC508

@pattilvk Is this any different than companies monitoring how people use their phone's data or web use? We are being constantly monitored. How many times do you do a google search and then see ads for the product or location or ... that you have just searched? #DC508

Couros: "The personalization of learning creates the opportunity for more depth and authenticity, whereas “personalized learning” seems to be more about knowing the “stuff”." I love this!!!! #DC508

Morrison: "It is not the technology itself that is important, it is how it is used." Exchange, enrich, enhance, extend, empower...powerful words in the world of education. #DC508

[Karen Wikkerink @KarenWikkerink]

Morrison: "It is not the technology that makes a difference, it is the teachers[!]" We play a huge part in the lives of our students and without personal relationships and community that are built in the classroom, learning would suffer. #DC508

Gannon takes a hard view in removing all forms of tech from his classroom (and his teaching) claiming tech to be distracting to the learning that should be taking place. I disagree--tech can be good if used appropriately and may actually prevent distraction. #DC508
