A7: I tried to use the GooseChase app for a library scavenger hunt, a way for new students to get familiar with the layout of the library and what it offers. It fell flat. ๐ #tldeuno2022
@tmbuchholz I'm not familiar with Poll Everywhere, but I'm intrigued. I'd like to start using more digital tools to assess the well-being of students. #tldeuno2022
A6: Book Crawler is something new I'm trying. It's a way for students to tell others what they reading, share their thoughts, give reviews, etc. #tldeuno2022
@MrsBarryArt Yes! I'm so thankful our school is 1:1 (a recent development) but many students cannot use their devices outside of school hours because they lack internet access at home. #tldeuno2022
A5: I'm not sure how barriers to my district are being addressed. Many of our students do not have access to the internet outside of our school building, which leads to unfair gaps in learning. #tldeuno2022
A4: As a librarian, I use technology with students every day. We use the following platforms frequently: Destiny Catalog, Destiny Discover, Destiny Collections, Google Classroom, Nebraska Access, and Gale. #tldeuno2022
A3: I structure my classroom after the gradual release model. Do I include the following: guided instruction, collaborative learning, and independent learning? Guided instruction leans traditional, whereas collaborative learning makes use of technology. #tldeuno2022
A2: I have a corner of the library dedicated to SEL resources: books, mindfulness apps, and games to help students manage their emotions. I haven't used tools beyond informal/unobtrusive conversations to monitor
studentsโ well-being. #tldeuno2022
A1: Coding improves critical thinking and problem solving skills. Many students will need the skills used in computer coding for future careers. #tldeuno2022
