@HymansonJacki I like how this article breaks UDL down into simple ideas. Ear buds for a more quiet, less distracting, work time would have helped me as child.

@Ms_Gaschott I love how this video breaks UDL down. As a visual learner myself, it helped me understand UDL a bit better!

Good tips on creating lesson plans for little learners using UDL!

@Mrs_HollyHunter I've never thought of breaking down technology into electronic and non-electronic. Using non-electronic tools innovatively is still technology! The electronic toy laptops are a big hit in my childcare as well as toy cell phones during free play.

@Ms_Gaschott Using technology in the classroom so much more than just iPads. Making connections with parents through an app is wonderful . I can send messages, post pictures and reminders, and even add pictures of their work to a digital portfolio! With this tech, parents can see our day!

Although this article is aged a bit, it is still relevant today. This article touches on the importance of using technology to expand your lessons, and make sure it doesn't replace hands on learning. #ElmsEdu

This article gives insight on ways to use Skype in your classroom. From science experiences to helping the children learn languages! Remember to always be mindful and safe when using Skype in the classroom, make sure parents are on board. #ElmsEdu

@Ms_Gaschott This is an interesting and different way to explore learning opportunities for social and emotional learning. I signed up for the email updates and am going to take a virtual tour myself to see if it is something I could use in my child care. #ElmsEdu

[Kelly Powers @Miss_Kelly_P]

@Miss_MorseCode Virtual field trips are going to be a new favorite in my child care. What a great experience it will be for the preschoolers to see and for me to expand on their learning experience. They could draw pictures of what they are learning as a way of documenting their lessons.

[Kelly Powers @Miss_Kelly_P]

Know any kids that would love to go on a trip to outer space?! How about the ocean or a farm? This article has some great virtual field trip ideas for those curious little ones! I am especially excited to try the trip to the moon in my class. #ElmsEdu

@Mrs_HollyHunter This is an amazing representation of using the 4cs in preschool! I love letting the students take the lead to create and show what they have learned.

[Kelly Powers @Miss_Kelly_P]

@HymansonJacki I really like how this article breaks down SAMR. It provides plenty of examples, including links, on how to use it in the classroom. I would like to save this and check out all of the links that could be helpful in the classroom.

[Kelly Powers @Miss_Kelly_P]

This article explains the basics of the 4 Cs in education. I love that we are implementing this in classrooms. I am always asking questions and seeing if my preschoolers can elaborate on a topic. Their explanations are the best! #ElmsEdu https://t.co/02lA1h9juH

[Kelly Powers @Miss_Kelly_P]

@Mrs_HollyHunter I love this article! It is full of engaging ideas for the classroom. Taking the old phones or iPads outside for documentation and letting them take apart old computer items are some things I'd like to do in my class.

[Kelly Powers @Miss_Kelly_P]

@Miss_MorseCode I completely agree with this article. Teachers can add to their lessons when using technology intentionally. Some sites offer fine motor practice, memory, music, and we love researching animals and seeing them in a natural habitat. Not so easy to do in real life!

[Kelly Powers @Miss_Kelly_P]

Technology in the classroom has come a long way! Making it easier and less noticeable for students with disabilities to get needed help during the school day and feel included and more confident. #ElmsEdu

@Miss_MorseCode @Mrs_Finnerty I agree with benefits of adding technology to the classroom, but don't feel that it should replace hands on manipulatives. I love the idea of the children seeing real time zoos or other adventures. Communication apps let parents see into our day. @Mrs_Finnerty #ElmsEdu

[Kelly Powers @Miss_Kelly_P]

@Ms_Gaschott This a great article about learning and coding in a playful way @Ms_Gaschott. I use these techniques in my program and the children really enjoy playing games such as Candyland and Chutes and Ladders. I really love the idea of making a grid on the floor and letting then lead!
