@Bethany01028629 @tom_karnes @doctor2pi @DrEddiesClass @Tech_Buddha @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole Hi Bethany! This is a wonderful idea. Using Flipgrid to allow students to create and share their lessons is an excellent way to integrate technology into this type of experience. @DrEddiesClass #CSUBTED #EDCI6610

@Burgin4Jessica @tom_karnes @doctor2pi @DrEddiesClass @Tech_Buddha @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole Hi Jessica! Allowing students to connect their lessons to their passions is a wonderful way to ensure student engagement. By connecting it with social apps, they can also share that passion with their peers. I love this idea! @DrEddiesClass #CSUBTED #EDCI6610

@tom_karnes @doctor2pi @DrEddiesClass @Tech_Buddha @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @BarnellNicole A4) My students and I thoroughly enjoy using Classcraft to gamify our classroom. Students are eager to learn content and interact with each other when I start rewarding them for doing homework, answering questions, and being team players to level up their avatar. @DrEddiesClass

@SusanBarrera42 @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @DrEddiesClass @Tech_Buddha @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole Hi Susan! I love using Nearpod to keep students engaged with the content and to check for prior knowledge. It is also useful for checking for understanding throughout a lecture. @DrEddiesClass @csubted

@Burgin4Jessica @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @DrEddiesClass @Tech_Buddha @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole Hi Jessica! Allowing students to present information in this way has proven to be very effective in my experience, especially when allowing them to teach their peers using their presentation. @DrEddiesClass #CSUBTED

@Ststansberry @doctor2pi @DrEddiesClass @Tech_Buddha @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole A3) I use science simulators to help students manipulate conditions and analyze the results through inquiry. They can be more useful than traditional labs as they are easily resettable and students can re-run the experiment as many times as they need. #CSUBTED @DrEddiesClass

@AVasquezEdu @Tech_Buddha @doctor2pi @DrEddiesClass @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole @CSUBakersfield @csubted @CSUBEdAdmin Hi Andres! Mixing up the types of examples and activities is a great way to try to reach all students. Videos are a great way to connect the content to the world around them while games can provide that extra motivation to learn the content. @DrEddiesClass

@ERodriguez_117 @Tech_Buddha @doctor2pi @DrEddiesClass @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole @CSUBakersfield @csubted @CSUBEdAdmin Hi Emma! Have you checked out Edpuzzle to keep students accountable for watching videos and checking for understanding? I use the site frequently in my flipped classroom and it has really helped to keep students engaged. #CSUBTED #EDCI6610 @DrEddiesClass

@Tech_Buddha @doctor2pi @DrEddiesClass @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole @CSUBakersfield @csubted @CSUBEdAdmin A2) I use https://t.co/XAsxJ6aUc6 to watch students work on problem sets. It allows me to see their individual screens and intervene with students who are struggling. This was a lifesaver during distance-learning too. #CSUBTED #EDCI6610 @DrEddiesClass

@EddwwiinO_o @doctor2pi Hi Edwin! The student interaction part of Google Classroom is often overlooked. I have frequently had students collaborate on building a collective study guide by posting them to Google Classroom. The best part was, they did it spontaneously! #DrEddiesClass #CSUBTED #EDCI6610

@j_reyna12 @doctor2pi @BarnellNicole Kahoot is a great way to build community among students in the classroom, plus the competition motivates my high school students to want to know the content so that they can score higher than their friends. #CSUBTED #EDCI6100 @DrEddiesClass

@doctor2pi A1) Mentimeter is a great tool to survey students in order to identify prior knowledge and misconceptions, to provide students with a platform where they can share their thoughts on a topic, or to assess students informally via exit ticket. #CSUBTED #EDCI6100 @DrEddiesClass
