@MrsKoehler2 Such a great reminder! We don't need to fix what isn't broken, if it works then it works and just keep experimenting with other tools in smaller increments on the side!

[Miss Denker @Miss_Denker]

@MissNeidig I love that you made sure to say that #edtech is here to support our students and not just for our students to use it

[Miss Denker @Miss_Denker]

@natalierenee316 It can be so nerve wracking to jump in, especially as a young teacher. I always learn the most from my kids when I do though because of their understanding and grace when things go wrong!

Wrap Up:
Take it slow and make sure you take the time to understand the #edtech you are implementing before you try to teach it to kids.

@MsLewis37427418 @MissNeidig Even a document with all the #edtech tools teachers have access to would be super beneficial!

@SNickolaison I love this idea! Do you know if there is a way to scaffold this to fit into a morning meeting with elementary students?

[Miss Denker @Miss_Denker]

@LakinMacgregor @demigilman We have a schedule that I created that we stick to very strictly. I usually go on Pinterest at the beginning of the week to find crafts and activities to do that relate to the themes for each week I have planned. It's a lot of repetition and prep work. I also sing a LOT!

I would love to have access to a computer so that I could use more #edtech in my classroom, however for security and safety purposes we cannot have one in each classroom. I cannot wait to be in an OPS school and have access to more #edtech daily!

Schools can prepare students for #edtech by ensuring they have access to appropriate sites/apps and going over digital citizenship with students every year

@natalierenee316 I hope to have such an amazing resource like your librarian when I get into OPS!

@AliBamHer Time seems to always be more needed than given! It's so hard to introduce tech into the classroom without having enough time to figure it all out first

[Miss Denker @Miss_Denker]

@MrsKoehler2 My inner Leslie Knope will gladly channel anything binder related lol! Thanks for the intro video :)

[Miss Denker @Miss_Denker]

@MrsKoehler2 @HannahRothermu1 I'm in the Elementary ACT program and it has been great! I love it and would love to let you know more!

[Miss Denker @Miss_Denker]

@KelsySherwood I haven't heard of this one before, I definitely think I'll look into it. Is it similar to ClassDojo?

[Miss Denker @Miss_Denker]

@natalierenee316 I love this idea! I've been learning about portfolios in my assessment class and this sounds similar and easy to use!

[Miss Denker @Miss_Denker]

A1:
One #edtech resource that I love is SlidesGo. It is a free resource that connects to your gmail account and gives you access to hundreds of Slides templates. It is great when you want to spice up a presentation for a lesson or professional development!

@MsLewis37427418 There are so many more than I could have ever imagined that I have learned about in this class!

Introduction:
My name is Grace Denker. I teach PreK at Behaven Kids. I currently find most of my #edtech resources in the masters classes I am taking through UNO.

@KelsySherwood Where do you go to find resources on your own? Is there somewhere specific or do you just browse?
