@AliBamHer I do! Our district offers some really great PD especially in the summer. #tldeuno2021

@mrs_rutledge37 I love this! There are sooo many tech tools out there that it would be impossible to learn them all and to utilize them well. Much better off just getting to know a couple really well! #tldeuno2021

@MsLewis37427418 All great points! We should never use technology just for the sake of using it. #tldeuno2021

A4: Advice for new #EdTech - be familiar with privacy policies & terms of service before using a new app with students or/and check with your district for a list of approved apps & the process for getting apps approved.

@SNickolaison Are you in an elementary school? I'm in a middle school but would LOVE it if we had a homeroom for even 20 minutes a day for things like this! Great idea! #tldeuno2021

[Laura Rigoni @LauraRigoni9]

@HannahRothermu1 I also wonder if it's a good idea to let the students keep their devices over the summer. My district doesn't do this but some districts do. #tldeuno2021

A3: Ideally to best prepare students for #Edtech they would have a class focused on #Edtech including digital citizenship & the 4C's - Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, & Critical Thinking.

@HannahRothermu1 Yess!! I wish PD was offered for going in and observing each other! In my role, I'm fortunate to get to visit lots of classrooms; I learn something every time I'm in a new room! #tldeuno2021

@natalierenee316 #tldeuno2021 That's fantastic!! Librarians are such a great resource for #Edtech

[Laura Rigoni @LauraRigoni9]

@AliBamHer Finding that time to play around and learn is soooo hard to find!! #tldeuno2021

A2: My district provides wonderful #EdTech support through our Help Desk, Matrix of approved apps, and Professional Development options. Our tech team is always willing to help!

[Laura Rigoni @LauraRigoni9]

@Miss_Denker I'll have to check this out! Thanks for sharing! #tldeuno2021

[Laura Rigoni @LauraRigoni9]

@natalierenee316 Hi Natalie! I LOVE Padlet, but I've only used it for student interactive purposes. I can't quite picture how else it can be used - I'd love to learn more! #tldeuno2021

A1: #EdTech I plan to use next school year is Book Creator. Fun way for students to turn their writing into a creative digital book & easily share it with their teacher & peers.

[Laura Rigoni @LauraRigoni9]

@MsLewis37427418 I find colleagues to often be one of our best resources! #tldeuno2021

[Laura Rigoni @LauraRigoni9]

@MsBond18 I agree! I probably wouldn’t use it with my students. Maybe if I taught high school... #tldeuno2021

[Laura Rigoni @LauraRigoni9]

@MsLewis37427418 I agree! Endless resources!! #tldeuno2021

[Laura Rigoni @LauraRigoni9]

@amwest95 I’m so excited to use this as a professional resource! #tldeuno2021

[Laura Rigoni @LauraRigoni9]

@razorsenglish I agree! To me Twitter is not as user friendly as Facebook or Instagram. tldeuno2021
