A5. Personally, I listen to music to get pumped up for something or to wind down after a long day. My kiddos and I love to get silly with @GoNoodle , @Flocabulary , or just fun games/songs in our morning meetings! Really sets the tone for a fun day! #2PencilChat
A4. I am a very goofy person! I definitely bring that to my classroom and try to build a relationship using that aspect with each of my students. I feel that being completely open and silly with my students has allowed even the shy kiddos to come out of their shells. #2PencilChat
A3. I think learning through play shows students that they can have fun while learning! I also think it opens doors for our students to be unique, original, and creative. When we play while teaching, our students are more engaged and excited to learn. #2PencilChat
@MagicPantsJones A2. 2020 has definitely been a whirlwind so far.. I think taking those breaks to laugh about the small stuff, and integrating fun into our teaching keeps things lighthearted. #2PencilChat
@MagicPantsJones A1. Jumping in here... brain breaks, getting out the wiggles, and other recharging breaks are imperative for our students to remain active and alert. This way they are ready to jump back into a lesson and be engaged -especially my Kinders! #2PencilChat
@nathan_stevens Q7. Due to remote learning, our students are able to take back to the classroom the platforms we as teachers have implemented to use weekly and only grow their knowledge of technology. Ex: @googleclassroom , @Screencastify , @padlet , @Flipgrid #edtechchat #5612
A6.I feel that remote learning has only widened the tech gap between the “have’s and have nots’”. In the future I feel it is vital for all students to have the capability to log on to educational resources remotely in order to advance their education. #edtechchat
A4. I don’t think we should limit our students to any one technology. Using any resource available to them, like google classroom, to speak up and make their voice heard. #edtechchat
A3. Again, I believe it’s imperative that we integrate technology in our teaching. By applying apps, chromebook testing, or any other platforms that prepare them for widely applicable skills #edtechchat
@nathan_stevens A2. I know I teach the Little’s but I think that it’s imperative that our students understand how to leverage messaging and meeting applications like Microsoft Teams, Skype, and Zoom. #edtechchat
A1. I personally love integrating technology into learning. Teaching lessons to my Little’s and then sending them off to do lessons on @readingeggs or IREADY was our jam 🎉
