Infographic to show why students prefer digital content! #TEC207

@casti15186 @ScottRRocco Completely agree. Its okay to have fun on social media but its so important to know where and when to draw the line

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@ScottRRocco A16: I think the best way to get this message across is genuinely by reinstating that a digital footprint is real and everything you put on the internet will not go away regardless of you delete it. So it is incredibly important to be mindful of what you put out there #TEC207

@ScottRRocco A15: This statement means to me that when students see a post their first instinct won't be "Wow this must be true! Let me share it with the world" but instead will be thinking more critically ab whether it is true or false. I think this can be possible with the right training

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@ScottRRocco A14: It is important for students to learn social media literacy because it will help students in differentiating between what is real online vs. what is exaggerated or fake. #TEC207

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@kangelucci7 @ScottRRocco Honestly this is so real. Completely agree

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@ScottRRocco A13: I think the best way to move on from comments made online is to just not take it personally and to understand there will always be trolls and angry people on the internet. #TEC207

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@ScottRRocco A12: This allows for an administrator to focus in on what they are truly saying and have a more personal interaction with said person. There is more tonnage and you can come across as more sincere. #TEC207

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@feinerja @ScottRRocco Yes I agree completely. Like the author said, its important not to say anything online that you wouldn't say in person.

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@ScottRRocco A11: I actually have always used this strategy with any type of conflict. It allows be to take a step back and reflect on the true reality of what ever a person may be upset about, then deal with that reality in a professional manner. #TEC207

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@ScottRRocco A10: I think having a strict routine in the classroom is good for classroom management. So I will utilize tech resources to make sure everyone is on the same page and gets everything done for the day #TEC207

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@damien_schRider @ScottRRocco Yes! Absolutely we as educators need to take accountability and make the adjustments that are necessary for our students.

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@ScottRRocco A9: This question about collaboration is also so important because it is imperative for adolescents to collaborate and be social with their peers. It is good for development and good for motivation and engagement if students can work with their friends #TEC207

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@ScottRRocco A8: This question is so important because as teachers this is the fundamental question we should be asking in our classroom regardless of using tech. If these tools don't help check for understanding then how will we know our students have learned something? #tec207

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@DevonCannon02 @ScottRRocco So true about the organizational aspect.. Keeps everything together and not overwhelming!

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@ScottRRocco A7: I believe that the author suggests this because having students and teachers reuse the same tools allows them to become experts in using them. This would help teachers and students because it allows for new opportunities to be used with those tools. #TEC207

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@WallaceLyd62696 @ScottRRocco I love the idea of brain breaks Lydia! Great point!

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@ScottRRocco A6: Cauliflower is used very innovatively in society. It can be used for many things and the author compares this to ed tech because these techs can be used in a variety of different ways that are different from its original purpose. Ex. Using Powerpoint as a game slide #TEC207

[Alexander Laurella @LaurellaMath]

@ScottRRocco I will implement EdTech choice in my classroom by allowing students to turn in assignments using a varity of tech resources, whether that be through jam boards or power points, or videos and flip grids. #TEC207
