Today was the last day for our student-teacher, @Ms_KPanetta @deSalesTCDSB ...My Grade 8s had 4 #AwesomelyAmazing weeks of learning with her! We wish her a great future as a teacher & know that her dedication & commitment to teaching will be a blessing for her future students!

Filled with gratitude for my wonderful final practicum experience at @deSalesTCDSB Thank you to all the dedicated staff, amazing students, and to my wonderful associate teacher @TeachVocation who supported me and has helped me grow as a teacher! #gratitude #classparty

The culminating activity to this extremely engaging #VideographyWorkshop! Grade 8s @deSalesTCDSB creating their own videos, getting help from the professionals, some ready to launch on their own! An #Incredible day of #Learning! Thank you @Ms_KPanetta @APriorityTO

Interesting that BC and Nova Scotia have recently announced that they will be adding some form of computer coding to the K-12 curriculum. I wonder if and when Ontario will follow suit? #week6tech252

[Kristen Perri @Mrs_KPerri]

I like how Makerspace culture promotes several 21st century skills and behaviours such as risk-taking, problem-solving, perseverance and collaboration. These are also skills that relate to many of the learning skills on the Ontario Elementary Report Card. #week6tech252

In many cases, assistive technology (AT) can benefit ALL students. Students should be provided with opportunities to use AT in cases where it can benefit them as well. This may help normalize AT and reduce perceived barriers and stigma. #week5tech252

Disabilities are not always visible. Improving accessibility should be a focus for all businesses and service providers so that everyone has access and opportunities! #week5tech252

Collecting and using data in the classroom is something that all teachers should do. I think that there should be professional development opportunities to help teachers understand how to use data effectively and for the purpose of helping students achieve! #week4tech252

[Kristen Perri @Mrs_KPerri]

https://t.co/jVeWNv9b0V A great watch! Khan discusses that video content can be used by teachers to supplement lessons. There are a lot of great resources for teachers out there and I think teachers should work together to collaborate and share resources even more! #week4tech252

[Kristen Perri @Mrs_KPerri]

Really interested in learning more about e-portfolios in the classroom. I think in order to be effective, they would need to be used frequently and would require computers for each student. How can we make this work for all schools, including those with low SES? #week4tech252

[Kristen Perri @Mrs_KPerri]

It’s shocking that some children spend an average of 7 hours each day on entertainment media! Emphasizes the need for parents and adults to try to be role models and put down our own devices at times to make sure we have opportunities to fully engage with others. #week3tech252

[Kristen Perri @Mrs_KPerri]

A great read for parents, educators or anyone who works with children on some of the potential benefits and risks associated with screen time. Everything in moderation as the saying goes! #week3tech252 https://t.co/BuYPL6jYvN

I’ve been hearing more about the concept of instant gratification as a consequence of our increasing digital world. I feel that while teaching digital literacy is extremely important, we also need to help students develop growth mindsets and learn how to “unplug”. #week2tech252

[Kristen Perri @Mrs_KPerri]

Helping students develop digital literacy skills is vital for success in our digital world. I wonder if schools should teach a technology curriculum where digital literacy skills are taught and issues related to online privacy/safety are discussed. #week2tech252

[Kristen Perri @Mrs_KPerri]

Great point made that educators need to incorporate ALL 7 principles of learning. Given that most new Ontario teachers supply for several years, I wonder how to work toward incorporating these principals as a supply teacher, working with different students each day. #week1tech252

[Kristen Perri @Mrs_KPerri]

Great video! Ken Robinson suggests a possible connection between the current education system and a decrease in divergent thinking. I wonder how to encourage divergent thinking in my classroom within a system that may be modelled differently. #week1tech252 https://t.co/YEnzJsYpCQ
