@PACSSUNY @deborao60057418 @DanPardy What I liked about it is that it gets people to be concise. Can you explain something in less than 3 minutes? The activity becomes engaging and it prevents people from straying away.

@MichelsFabiola @DanPardy What I love the most about technology (and the list is long) is the access to information. Sure, I’d swap it for learning things “in loco”, but it ain’t everyday you can go to Mongolia to study what traditional apparel and rituals are like.

@AngieMidori @DanPardy Have you read about the project Hole in the Wall? It’s a lil different from the article you mentioned, but it is interesting to see how intuitive technology actually is when curiosity is replaced by demand. Personally, I feel I fall under the “anxiety” classification at the mo’.

[Michelle Mascarenhas Watkins @LibreLocaSoy]

@rosananaomimi @DanPardy The blank paper generates anxiety, so true! It is easier to be guided (not to be understood as a “moan+groan-free option”) because it pains to think! My art students freeze with freedom, which reveals how stifling education can be to creativity.

How can I access the impact of technology in my class? As an Art teacher, I frequently allow students to choose their media and many go for platforms such as MineCraft to create 3D models. They love the freedom to choose! #SUNYSNBR @DanPardy

@KeithRa43519167 @diegogconsider1 @DanPardy Great point! How are we preparing them and talking to children about digital responsibility and proper use? Most of their parents have no reference of what it was to be a kid with access to a device. I believe schools should be doing more.

@phoebesuny @poodlemominBR @DanPardy Oh my dearest Art friend... I hear you. Organisation is not always intuitive and I wish schools taught students more practical manners of keeping up with things. A special course for the artistic inclined. It seems that it is hard to be both - creative + organised.

Good presentation=objective info presented in engaging manner, visual reference, bring connection and real life scenarios (when fitting).I like using Prezi (different options of skimming through info while keeping it intuitive) started fiddling with KeyNote. #SUNYSNBR @DanPardy

@PACSSUNY @DanPardy Yeay! Love to know different platforms and opportunities to create and show Art. It helps to break the conception that Art in only in galleries and unattainable.

@KeithRa43519167 @DanPardy #VilemFlusser is a Check phylosopher that talks about the importance of reading and using images to convey ideas. Knowing how to express through adequate visuals is essential, however, it is important to teach our students to learn how to read an image well.

@marcoazzb @DanPardy @blenda_batista Duuuuude, I’m not even into humans that much, but what a smile... what a wink. Right back at you, you marvellous thing you!

[Michelle Mascarenhas Watkins @LibreLocaSoy]

@Meissa91293066 @DanPardy More than a list, I’d like to have successful case studies, specially ones involving low budget. I need to see real implication, how teachers use and combine tools. It’s dandy whey every student has an iPad, but how could technology make a difference in a public school?

[Michelle Mascarenhas Watkins @LibreLocaSoy]

When you think that your teacher is using a British reference but he actually meant ISTE Standards and not East Enders... Now I want crumpets with Marmite. My memories always have a corresponding munchy. #SUNYSNBR @DanPardy

[Michelle Mascarenhas Watkins @LibreLocaSoy]

@marcoazzb @DanPardy Humm... Focus has always been a major point in my class. Mindful mediation combined with Pomodoro (25 min working + 5 min free) were very impactful in my class and they both have apps to help. Can’t think anything godly that could help TRANSITION.

@taatiiany @DanPardy I absolutely LOVED this site! I am homeschooling Noah in English and this type of resource is amazing. It can lead to an infinite number of activities, games, plays, etc.

[Michelle Mascarenhas Watkins @LibreLocaSoy]

@Rislene11 @diegogconsider1 @DanPardy How can schools play a role regarding this issue? Shoulda institutions control the use more? Are we doing this? Are we instructing them on how to use it? Digital ethics and its harm?

[Michelle Mascarenhas Watkins @LibreLocaSoy]

How to change the digital dynamic? I wish I could NOT have a phone on me 24/7. People expect an instant reply and I’m just not one of those. I’m sure I’m not alone, but it’s still a hassle. #SUNYSNBR @DanPardy

[Michelle Mascarenhas Watkins @LibreLocaSoy]

WHy? How? What? Looking at @simonsinek’s TedTalk I can’t help but look back at how these questions might change with time. Maybe not completely, but it reformulates with maturity and depth. #SUNYSNBR @DanPardy

@MrReinaldo2 @DanPardy VR is fun, but it can’t replace the excitement of a real rollercoaster drop or a LIVE date! I saw this VR dating programe where the couple went for a VR dinner and went clubbing. Not as fun...
