A27: Biggest Takeaway overall is the new way of looking through tech with the Triple E Framework lens to be sure to put the learning first. Learning is the goal. Tech use is one avenue to approach the goal.#124chat
A26: Using the Triple E Framework to evaluate tech resources is a helpful way to get to the nitty-gritty of how the tech can be useful and not get caught up in unnecessary “bells and whistles” or false promises. #124chat
A25: Some (many?) tech tools do not have collaboration naturally built into them. Co-use creates collaboration and increases the 4Cs with students. Also co-use reiterates the social and emotional aspects of academics and technology for students. #124chat
A24: I use a combo of T think aloud and Guided Release of Responsibility the most. Thinking aloud shows Ss how to think through problem-solving. Release of resp builds in practice for Ss while they’re still practicing and not fully letting them go until the’re ready.#124chat
A23: Shout out to @kcmel75 and @MsDavis_Teaches for their consistently amazing tech lessons that they use with Ss! High green on the Triple E Framework scale for engaging, enhancing, and extending learning with their Ss! High five, girls! #124chat
A22: The All-American Road Trip is a great case study full of S choice and engagement! This would be so interactive and interesting for Ss and has authenticity and so many standards looped in here! I would love to facilitate this! #124chat
A21: reading & interacting w/Learning First, Tech Second would be the ultimate way to build schema. Using case study examples online & in ch.8 would be helpful, along w/comparisons of Triple E to SAMR, TPACK, or other tools Ts might be using. #124chat
A19: Great finds from https://t.co/kAx3EnoGYC-examples of Inst Strategies under each “e” & printable lesson planning template that has ISTE S standards and a clear and easy to use format! #124chat
A18: For the 2nd Grade unit on geo, I think it would be a great extension to use the Google My Maps for Ss to map out places around the world & directions to the places from Belton.This provides connection to real world for Ss & helps them to see context of the world.#124chat
A17: Communication is developed as students see that they need to convey info to others, especially others who may not be right there, face to face. #124chat
A17: Collab & communication are the most important soft skills, IMO, that kids need. Tech helps w/collab by co-useof tech and working on projects together,whether it be at the same time or different times. To be continued #124chat
A16: Ss need to have learning that is relevant 4 now & 4 future.Being authentic w/tech integration means using tech that connects to real life 4 kids & gives them tools & skills they may not otherwise have.Doing something b/c it’s cute is not going to be create learning #124chat
PDF Candy, that amazing website that offer numerous ways to manipulate PDF files for free just added a dandy of a feature. You can now send PDF Candy a PDF scan and it will perform OCR on the pdf and turn it into a text file 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
A15: Coding w/code.org or Scratch are both examples of tech tools that promote enhancement. Higher-order thinking skills, supports built in if extra help is needed, & S creation of ideas promote enhancement. #124chat
A14: Ss reflect w/other Ss through discussion and turn & talk. Ts have Ss reflect on how they are growing as thinkers. Ts must ask Qs about the process and how the process can help Ss become better learners. #124chat
I have mentioned the great app Notable Women before. It uses Augmented Reality to show you the faces of important women through history on todays US currency. Was really happy to see they added a For Teachers area to their site with lesson plans and more: https://t.co/VQdx8qG93T
A13: Ss are moving from passive to active learners by showing their learning, taking time to communicate, and listening to others. Only doing work for teachers or just to get it done is passive learning. Creating and communicating is active! #124chat
