Q6: Technology has the ability to allow students to work in an environment that is more comfortable to them. I need to become more knowledgeable with the tech so that I can meet their needs #MCtechsavvy
@MrsJessicaRyan Thanks I will definitely use this as I have been given our ELL students again next year. They were my hardest working students so I am really excited.
Q5: Technology should be considered a tool because it can be used and adapted to fit the needs of all types of learners. I had one ELL student who did not understand any English yet through technology I was able to teach him 6th grade math #MCtechsavvy
Q4: I believe that technology should be a vehicle for enhancing instruction. I still feel that the greatest gains are made with personal interaction whether it be between student and teacher or student and student. #MCtechsavvy
@MrsJessicaRyan I found that especially with my older grades and the chrome books that if I wasn't using go guardian to watch them they would stray from what I was asking them to do and use the time to search the web or play a game
Q3: Technology definitely excites and engages student. I think technology can be a distraction some times. Not everything in life will be a game and I often find students associate tech with games. #MCtechsavvy
@MrsJessicaRyan@edpuzzle I do because I get the feedback from the questions I embed. If I see the majority of my students did not get a certain question correct I can focus on that or I can pull a small group and address their needs based upon the feedback I saw.
Q2: I tech such as Smartboard to a website. I have begun to use EDpuzzle to flip some of my lessons. I really love that I can embed questions, add my own commentary and get feed back from the students that night to determine the design of my lesson for the next day #MCtechsavvy
Q1: Hi this is Kevin and I have been teaching middle school and high school math for the past 10 years. I have a 5-6 extension so all of those ten years I have had at least one 6th grade math class #MCtechsavvy
