During my undergrad I was taking a 3D design course and basically couldn't use Maya, no matter how many times I tried or people attempted to help me. My brain didn't respond well to the interface and function of the program. Excel is awful in that way as well

@MrsBarryArt @sketchbookapp Me too! Such a great app with many tools and features for creating

I've have not had the opportunity to use a tech-tool independently as an educator (still in practicum), but I have seen JamBoard and Padlet used in some very engaging and easily implemented ways

@rebekah7mt I didn't realize that they were also providing cellular data so students without at home internet can still use devices. That's awesome!

Schools that are 1to1 with students and a device (laptop/tablet) goes a seriously long way to tech equity. The resources available to students in the libraries and computer labs addresses this as well. These efforts do not allow for connectivity in a students home

I will use presentation tech and digital submissions daily when I start teaching full time. So much of our regular and professional lives takes place around and within tech, students need as much educationally appropriate exposure as possible

As an art teacher balancing traditional methods and newer digital mediums is pretty easy. The skill used to create physically and digitally are essentially identical. The real trick is having the resources or funding for the digital technology and equipment

I have seen a google survey used to gauge students current emotional state, while also asking about their thoughts and feeling about their current project. Things were kept anonymous so students would be more likely to share their true feelings

Coding is the framework holding every digital interface together. Teaching students the "what" and "how" of coding is essential to their professional futures and will give them a better understanding of their digital experiences.

Intro: Neil Graham
Educational technology means any kind of physical device or digital organization used to aid the education of students and teachers. In our context this means, phones, tablets, computers and twitter.

A5 #TLDEUNO2022 The primary difference is the lack of physical interaction and singular room containment. Other wise is it quite similar. A shared sense of community and directions from the teacher and structure they have created for students to experience.

[Neil_J_Graham @Neil_J_Graham]

A4 #TLDEUNO2022 The physical and digital environment of learning will have a substantial impact of the resonance and efficacy of the content and curriculum. Someone can teach chaotic skills in a chaotic class room, not many students would learn quiet skills in a chaotic room.

[Neil_J_Graham @Neil_J_Graham]

A3 #TLDEUNO2022 Not only the prevalence of digital devices in our classrooms, but the skill-set it requires to maximize the potential of these devices is present in most if not all of our classrooms. Its on us as teachers to define and apply that skill within our content.

[Neil_J_Graham @Neil_J_Graham]

A2 #TLDEUNO2022 Learning is the intake, processing, and synthesis of new information and procedures. The learner is then responsible for the action and application of the provided content.

INTRO #TLDEUNO2022 Neil Graham, I am currently in my third practicum for Art education at Prairie Wind Elementary in northwest Omaha. I truly believe in the power and prevalence of Art. I want to help students harness their expressive potential.

[Neil_J_Graham @Neil_J_Graham]

A1 #TLDEUNO2022 I define teaching as the transfer of knowledge or process to another. Ideally the teacher is confident and capable in that information and skill, as this will resonate more with the taught.

[Neil_J_Graham @Neil_J_Graham]

#tldeuno2022 Social media will have a specific and regulated role in my Art room. Mainly for student initiated work publication (photo & audio-less video). Encouraging them to share and interact as they are comfortable, ensuring they have full control of their audience and works.
