Hello everyone! I am Jenna Scott and I am a current #IM421 student under the direction of @000Dave! I am majoring in Elementary Ed and am completing a SPED minor this fall. I am looking forward to getting to know you all! #ClassOf2022
For my student teaching in a third grade, relatively white classroom, my co-teacher and I want to incorporate a read aloud book that highlights the perspective from a person of color. Any good recommendations I could look into?
I found this article that covers tips for teachers working with digital content. I specifically like the "plan for interaction" aspect this article discusses #IM421

Book Creator is an app where students can create their own books by inserting text and images. This is a great way for the students to be in control of the digital content they create. #IM421
@MaiYangXiong5 I love this question! Technology can look like all different things, not just computer technology. Technology is using science and engineering to improve practical living, and so I think I would want to live with it!
@001haley I love listening to podcasts, but this was the first time I made one myself! It was interesting being on the other side of things and having to dig deep into a topic. Its a unique, tech forward way of presenting information and I really enjoyed that!
@laurenillies I personally prefer live meetings because it better allows me to connect with my teacher and classmates! I know for classes where I have just have to watch videos, I have not been as focused and tend to wonder while watching them :/
Cognitive flexibility is another skill that can be useful to teach students. Here is an article that explains the importance of having flexible thinking and some tips on how to develop this with students. #IM421 https://t.co/d7YpMXgtpe
I would love to teach my future students this skill. Reducing self-doubt and negative thoughts can develop a positive outlook and is a skill that I believe will be beneficial throughout their whole lives. (2/2) #IM421
My college volleyball coach emphasized having positive self-talk. This was a skill I had not worked on previously, so it was challenging at first. After continually working on it (still to this day), I noticed an improvement in the way I played and how I lived my life (1/2)
A large belief of mine is to teach and instill curiosity in my students. I believe this skill is so important because it can develop a life-long love of learning and I'm all for that! #IM421
@MaySher46708760 Being able to work and collaborate with peers and others is very important! I like how you were able to reflect on your learning experience and find an area that you wish to improve upon for your future students!
@LovegrenKatie@LINDSEYWELKER6@FritzlineR@MissStrecker One of my favorites from this list was film-making! I remember I would create my own videos with my friends and I loved it. Now would be a great time for kids to use today's technology to create silly videos with their family!
@8erikarose I believe students need to learn flexibility skills in order to adapt and conquer the constantly changing learning environment. This skill will help get them through this pandemic and will be useful throughout their life
Its interesting to see pictures of elaborate makerspaces and hear what some people had growing up with them. I cannot recall having a specific area dedicated to creating, but I'm definitely excited to incorporate a makerspace into my classroom #IM421
I do not have any experience with makerspaces, but this article really broke down what a makerspace is, why its important, and different examples of them. #IM421

@Jesenia53570145 What an amazing opportunity and experience your school was able to provide you with! I would have (and still would) loved to be able to use a 3-D printer as a student!
