@berrybeautymua Well said! Especially since our world was digital this past year, it has changed a lot of how things are done in our day to day life.

[Amber Nightser @MrsNightser]

Wrap up: My final thoughts for the future of EdTech is that it is becoming more and more ingrained into our day to day life. We need to teach how to use it well, and how to have a good balance with it. #tldeuno2021

[Amber Nightser @MrsNightser]

@SydneyZerzan Yeah, that would definitely be frustrating! I'm the same way with planning though too. Haha

[Amber Nightser @MrsNightser]

@razorsenglish Agreed! It needs to be used correctly and not JUST to be something for fun.

[Amber Nightser @MrsNightser]

A3: Teachers should consider the level students are at with computer knowledge. Some catch on quickly, while others need more guidance. It will take time and practice before they can do it well independently. #tldeuno2021

@tierra_hills Mine did that the last week of school. Otherwise they did multiplication facts during recess! I was all for it! Haha

[Amber Nightser @MrsNightser]

A2: One of my favorite EdTech tools is Blooket! I learned about it last semester and brought it into my classroom. My students thought it was so much fun! It was great engagement and nice for data! They even asked to play during recess! #tldeuno2021

@AlyssaJ87428916 I've never heard of this! I'll have to check it out!

[Amber Nightser @MrsNightser]

@berrybeautymua I like Canva to create things! Super easy to use and they look so nice!

[Amber Nightser @MrsNightser]

@tierra_hills I like how you added teachers into this! We definitely get a learning experience with it too!

[Amber Nightser @MrsNightser]

A1: For me, Ed Tech is when you are integrating technology into your classroom to boost student engagement and their knowledge. #tldeuno2021

[Amber Nightser @MrsNightser]

@Miss_Denker Go slow. And you will need a lot of patience. We worked a lot on typing and that got way better by the end of the year. And just like anything else, you'll have some who catch on quick and others who take more time, so use those early finishers to help!

My name is Amber. I 3rd grade teach at Wildewood Elementary. I feel pretty comfortable integrating technology into my classroom. This year kind of forced it a bit more!

Grateful for our awkward, brave and kind community today. Happy Friday!

Great read talking about being culturally responsive! #tldeuno2021

[Cult of Pedagogy @cultofpedagogy]

"In reality, culturally responsive teaching is less about using racial pride as a motivator and more about mimicking students’ cultural learning styles and tools."

These are such a great way to bring coding into the classroom with any subject area! Really want these for my classroom! #tldeuno2021

We had a blast in our educator workshop last weekend. Nadine said she was new to our invention kit, but she still took on one of our fav projects. Check out Nadine's pixel art finger-paint project coded in Scratch!

Love this! #tldeuno2021

An effective system of interventions is built upon the assumption that even the most at-risk students are capable of learning at high levels, and that the educators can collectively achieve this outcome for every student. #atplc

@missgoaley Agreed! It's a nice new tool to put in our toolbox of ideas! #tldeuno2021
