In my ideal classroom, technology would be used constructively everyday. Students will have their copy of the lesson on their iPads. Students will be able to use different apps across the year such as: FlipGrid, Explain Everything, Touchcast, etc. #MCtechsavvy2

@LotitoMs Thanks for sharing Flip and your feedback! We are all about student voice and choice! 💚

A5: What I hope to get out of this online course is to gain knowledge in the online tools to benefit my students. The use of these tools in the classroom assist with differentiating instruction for successful student learning. #MCtechsavvy2

[Mrs. Di Stefano @LotitoMs]

A4: Technology enhances project-based learning because it can deepen a students connection to a topic. It can also showcase a students work beyond the walls of the classroom and steam line the feedback and revision process. #MCtechsavvy2

[Mrs. Di Stefano @LotitoMs]

A3: I would describe the technology as being able to use the tools to convey the lesson and interact with the students. These different types of technology will allow the students to be the epicenter of teaching and learning. #MCtechsavvy2

[Mrs. Di Stefano @LotitoMs]

A2: Flip grid builds and strengthens the social learning community as the students discuss their ideas. This tool amplifies the students voices and supports student development as they immerse themselves in each others learning.

A1: A collaboration tool that I have successfully used with my students is flip grid. My students enjoy sharing their ideas and building upon their peers experiences. #MCtechsavvy2
