@MrsNovotny98 @BirkholtzB That's a great point about all apps not being right for all students! I had students who would ask for alternative assignments to FlipGrid for this very reason! #tldeuno2021

My final thoughts on the future of educational technology is that it is ever-changing. There will always be a new tool, but the important thing is finding the RIGHT tool for your population at the time. Different tools work better for different students. #tldeuno2021

Q4: I think teachers need to be open minded about implementing technology in the classroom. Furthermore, we need to be more flexible in where our inspiration comes from. PD is great, but I've learned more tech tips on TikTok &Twitter than I had in 2 years of meetings #tldeuno2021

@AlyssaJ87428916 Apple Classroom is a LIFESAVER with middle schoolers! I love being able to lock them into certain apps! #tldeuno2021

@SNickolaison Privacy is a HUGE consideration! #tldeuno2021

Q3: Teachers need to be very cognizant of technology becoming a barrier to learning. It can be a great tool when used effectively, but we shouldn't use it when it's not needed just for the sake of "implementing technology" #tldeuno2021

[Ms. Bond @MsBond18]

@MiZ_JS_ @MrWennstedt I've never heard of this one! I'll have to look into it! #tldeuno2021

[Ms. Bond @MsBond18]

@LudlumClaire @MrsNovotny98 My students love the matching and test features of Quizlet, as well! #tldeuno2021

[Ms. Bond @MsBond18]

@SydneyZerzan I just wish my district would buy the school subscription because almost every teacher in my grade uses it! #tldeuno2021

[Ms. Bond @MsBond18]

Q2: My favorite EdTech Tool is Google Forms! I love that my students get instant feedback instead of waiting for me to grade things! I've even discovered how to create a "Matching" style quiz #tldeuno2021

[Ms. Bond @MsBond18]

@KoltasLindsay @MsSchense Clips was a student favorite this year! They wanted to use it for every project or presentation we had 😂 #tldeuno2021

[Ms. Bond @MsBond18]

@SydneyZerzan @MrThome4thGrade Mine love the comment feature, as well!

[Ms. Bond @MsBond18]

@LakinMacgregor Technology is a GREAT tool for increasing student engagement! #tldeuno2021

[Ms. Bond @MsBond18]

@missgoaley This is such a good point! I feel like nowadays it can be overwhelming for teachers to keep up with the sheer amount of tech tools, but there are so many resources to help! #tldeuno2021

[Ms. Bond @MsBond18]

@LudlumClaire Yes! I love using technology to stretch my creativity! #tldeuno2021

[Ms. Bond @MsBond18]

Q1: To me, educational technology is the use of technological tools to help improve teaching practices and to help facilitate student learning #tldeuno2021

[Ms. Bond @MsBond18]

@SydneyZerzan I feel like whenever I'm relying on technology to work, that's when it always let's me down and I have to improvise! 😅 #tldeuno2021

Wrap Up. I think twitter is a good form of collaboration in education. It is a quick and easy way to see new ideas and share your own. Teaching is all about collaboration and social media and twitter make it more accessible to everyone. #tldeuno2021
