@mpmccreery @brans_unlv Better to sacrifice arithmetic to learn Algebra? Or better to develop number sense and integer operations? 🤔 #CIT667

@mpmccreery @DanielsZaira The power of AR was seen this summer with PokemonGo. Imagine harnessing that in the classroom for learning #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@mpmccreery @DanielsZaira Not only his cane, but his smart watch, FitBit, glasses, bluetooth, and other wearables. Many extensions! #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@mpmccreery ! Only half our kids have smartphones? I was surprised at the quoted figure. I find it much higher in my classroom. #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@mpmccreery =) The difference between "replacement" and "cognitive" tool is a good one. The former outweighs the latter as of now. #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@mpmccreery <-> Weston and Bain is similar to Fullan. The idea that technology advance must support pedagogy advance is revisited. #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@reinhar6 @mpmccreery When the results are used to punish, it doesn't foster truth in reporting. Hence the need for social reform #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@JoanSYork @mpmccreery Tech isn't often made with teaching in mind.The needs of a classroom are different than the needs of business #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@WizardTalbot @mpmccreery I think we have to adapt technology to great teaching, instead of adapting our teaching to include tech #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@WizardTalbot @mpmccreery It's like composing the score of a film without watching it. It's still music, but it doesn't make sense. #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@DRWatUNLV @mpmccreery Who says they will? The govt places external pressure on teachers. We need to up intrinsic motivation instead #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@mpmccreery We need a formative feedback loop as teachers. How do we assess ourselves? How do we improve? How do we help each other? #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@mpmccreery One of the most illuminating articles I have read so far. Succinct in laying out what'll work and why what we have fails #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@1LTJEGREEN @mpmccreery Familiarity. PowerPoint = conduit. It is known and well used. With time, more tech will be this way too. #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@lzoumberis @mpmccreery Students need a foundation. If basic skills are second nature, cognitive load is freed up to construct ideas #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@JoanSYork @mpmccreery That program tracks more how a student learns than what they learn. Clicks, timing, links, etc. all analyzed #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@JoanSYork @mpmccreery Depends on what it tracks. If math modeling, then maybe deep learning. If drill and kill, maybe not. #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@JoanSYork @mpmccreery I've never gotten much out of online discussions. They're always forced/awkward. Group projects are better. #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@mpmccreery Learner tool choice=decision trees. Can learners construct good solving choices in math without deep understanding? #CIT667

[Danielle Head @LadyArchimedes]

@sjalene1 @mpmccreery Formal: write up of who did what/rate your team. Informal: twitter timeline in a group hashtag. Assess tweets? #CIT667
