A18. I am still working on incorporating extension. One of the ways my students are blending their learning between schools is by creating a personal dictionary. They find pictures online & create personal meaning with words. They can use these dictionaries at GES & MC. #124chat

A17. Students can learn how to adapt to change with technology. Technology doesn’t always work the way we think it should. Technology gives students safe environments to practice working in different groups, managing projects and experimenting with problem solving. #124chat

A16. Students need to see value in what they are learning and make connections to tasks they do in their everyday lives. Authentic learning creates a bridge between what is being taught in the classroom and problem-solving in real life situations. #124chat

A15. With Google My Maps, students can use co-use to modify maps based on real time experiences. They can share their maps and make edits anytime to change the number of people or places as needed. #124chat

A14. Students can use self-reflection to discuss what they are learning while using technology tools. #124chat

A22. I love all of the components that went into UN Poets on p. 117. I referenced Learning First, Technology Second in my blended learning research paper for my Ed.S. degree. I am hoping that I can design a lesson that seamlessly blends technology and learning standards. #124chat

Thanks to @ivytechy for setting up this book study. I have become a better learner and educator by reading this book and participating in this book study. #124chat

A27. This book has lots of great thoughts about how to teach with technology. It has a great deal of content, but it was written in a way that is easy to understand and implement. I am going to work on incorporating the Triple E Framework in my lessons. #124chat

A26. We can’t assume that all technology resources are great for teaching kids what they are expected to learn. As educators, we have to remember to be diligent and deliberate about the technology tools we use with our students. #124chat

[Jenny Mosakowski @Mosakowskibsd]

A25. Students need opportunities to collaborate with each other. They also need moments to practice using the technology and reflect upon what they are learning. Co-use strategies provide opportunities for students to use those strategies. #124chat

A24. I use a combination of guided practice and teacher-think alouds. I teach kids who are learning how to navigate the English language. They are typically quick to learn how to use technology, but they need more scaffolded language to successfully understand directions. #124

A23. (2nd reply) The fifth grade team at Hillcrest STEAM Academy uses technology in a way which incorporates different aspects of innovative technology. Way to go Tasha Zismer, Ken McCrary, & Nathan Mattson!! #124chat

A23. (1st reply) Megan Watts in an innovative educator whose is always finding ways to incorporate technology. Way to go, Megan!! #124chat

A21. The Triple E Framework would provide great PD for peers. The best presentation would be to design an example lesson which relates directly to standards taught in a particular grade level. Then, peers could brainstorm ideas incorporating enhancement & extension. #124chat

[Jenny Mosakowski @Mosakowskibsd]

A20. Yes, having a discussion Q&A with an author who could be anywhere in the world promotes the triple E framework. Students are engaged and authentically learning about writing from a famous author. They can relate to the author from their own perspectives as authors. #124 chat

A19. trippleeframework has lots of helpful tools for classroom learning. One of the tools I appreciate most is the feature which lists the research behind using the Triple E Framework. #124chat

Q13: Students become active learners when they participate in small group, whole group, or paired conversations. They pay more attention to the activity they are completing rather than staring into space or looking around the classroom. They ask questions. #124chat

A12. A Google presentation using Slides could reach the highest level of Schlechty’s model. Presentation example: Students research an important person and create a presentation that includes facts, pictures, and a short video of a student acting like that person. #124chat

A11. My students love Brain Pop ELL. Everyday, they ask if they can watch BP ELL. With this program, they watch several interesting videos that teach them about grammar and vocabulary. Afterwards, they take a 10-question quiz. This program provides lots of engagement. #124chat

@gnigro1124 I love white boards and expo markers. They make editing student writing much easier. My students each get a piece of the white board and let their creativity flow. My first grade students created and edited their math story problems on the white board before writing on paper.
