@MJ196620 @feltnerm @smwc It is both a site and app

@mrsgrassick @feltnerm @smwc I think there is a benefit to looking back and seeing how new technology could have been used to improve your schooling. To think back to old projects and see how tech can be used to complete that now. #smwced115

[LindsayNNagle @Nagle1N]

@CPogueArtTeach @feltnerm @smwc I think the teachers need to be 100% behind using tech too. I'm sure many resist change, but I think applying SAMR can help educators who are reluctant to change. #smwced115

@AubrieInboden @haley_thomas03 @feltnerm @smwc I feel the same. Coming from a non-teaching background and being out of school for a while, none of these programs existed when I was a student. This class has introduced me to many I want to further explore.

@CPogueArtTeach @feltnerm @smwc Now that people are using AI to create art, music and literature, it'll be interesting to see what the future of art will be like if it loses the human touch.

@haley_thomas03 @feltnerm @smwc Before this course, I had never heard of IXL. Once I learned of it, I thought it would be a great resource. I'm glad to see some positive reviews from those who used it.

[LindsayNNagle @Nagle1N]

@feltnerm @smwc A5 Honestly, I’m not too familiar with a lot of apps/sites yet, but from the apps/sites I have tried out, I think I would use IXL because it offers math lessons for all grades. So, those above-level can move ahead with their math learning #SMWCED115

@feltnerm A4 The danger of not including differentiation is that you risk a few students being left behind or you risk holding the majority of the class back to prevent a few from being left behind. Either way, no one wins. All students deserve equity when being taught #SMWCED115

[LindsayNNagle @Nagle1N]

@feltnerm @smwc A7 We don’t need to overcomplicate tasks. Certain tasks may call for a more traditional teaching method. Not using newer ideas or tech doesn’t mean learning isn’t taking place. Sometimes tried and true is better than a new gimmick #SMWCED115

[LindsayNNagle @Nagle1N]

@haley_thomas03 @feltnerm @smwc On top of that, I think some concepts aren't meant to be T/F or multiple-choice questions. Some concepts need to be explained or demonstrated.

[LindsayNNagle @Nagle1N]

@feltnerm @smwc A6 Auth. assessments make students demonstrate their understanding of a topic. Acing a written drivers test doesn’t show that one can parallel park & not being able to recall historical dates doesn’t mean one fails to understand the implications of historical events #SMWCED115

[LindsayNNagle @Nagle1N]

@AubrieInboden @feltnerm @smwc I, too, come from the gen of limited tech. I remember the struggle from lack of availability to tech. With how accessible and easy to use tech is now, it seems like a no-brainer to use tech in the classroom over traditional means.

[LindsayNNagle @Nagle1N]

@feltnerm @smwc A1 SAMR helps educators identify what technology best fits the lesson and how it should be used. Technology shouldn't solely be used just for the sake of using it. Instead, educators need to use it for a purpose, and SAMR can help find the purpose #SMWCED115

[LindsayNNagle @Nagle1N]

@feltnerm @smwc A2 Adding tech w/o a plan may end in poor use of that tech which can detract from student learning. Or you can miss a chance to use tech to elevate the lesson, resulting in a dull/unengaging lesson. SAMR helps you plan an engaging lesson #SMWCED115

[LindsayNNagle @Nagle1N]

@feltnerm @smwc A3Since my schooling predates most new tech. Tech use was limited to the S&A of SAMR. I want to push myself to use M&R. Those stages offer more challenging/engaging activities. To go beyond just report writing, which bored me. I want to avoid what bored me in school #SMWCED115
