@jordanmeng_ @StephenieWeaver @feltnerm @smwc I love pinterest! I use it all the time for my preschool classroom. So many neat ideas for free or at a low cost. So thankful for it especially when I'm in a pinch for an idea.

@feltnerm @smwc A8: I love Pinterest and TeachersPayTeachers. Both have wonderful resources, units, lesson plans, learning tools and ideas. These resources are either free or available at a low cost.

@jordanmeng_ @feltnerm @smwc I would like to use this tech tool as well! I'm not familiar with it but I have heard so many great things about it.

[Tabatha Provines @ProvinesTabatha]

@feltnerm @smwc I would use Google Classroom. I am more familiar with it. It would also be a benefit for myself because I can connect with students, share our ideas and complete tasks together. It is also a great organizational tool.

@AshleyDowns @feltnerm @IXLLearning @smwc I love how children can access books through iPad or other technology tool!! It opens a whole new world for them! I have a lot of students who love to listen to books online.

@feltnerm Tabatha Provines, I'm a wife, mother, teacher, and online student. I don't have a favorite digital resource but I do enjoy using Google Docs, iPad in the classroom and Smart Board.

@StephenieWeaver @feltnerm @smwc I love it when my children's teachers inform me of things happening in their classrooms! Its considerate, helpful, and informative. It helps the parents as well as the teacher. And benefits the students since everyone is on the same page.

@feltnerm @smwc A5:Including, meeting, and explaining to the parents about the learning environment and the technology tasks being presented benefits the students, teachers and parents. Informing parents of everything that is happening in the classroom is a huge help.

@StephenieWeaver @feltnerm @smwc I love all your ideas Stephenie!! Looking up a students history searches can help a teacher know whether the student is actually doing the tech tasks. And knowing all the educational websites would help so much!

@feltnerm @smwc A4: School systems need to prepare teachers on how to work programs that will be used in the classroom. Teachers and school systems need to come up with ways, projects, and tasks teachers can use technology in the classroom.

@StephenieWeaver @feltnerm @smwc I agree! Students and teachers need to have trust established first before the actual lessons are taught.

[Tabatha Provines @ProvinesTabatha]

@feltnerm @smwc A3: Trust between the students and teachers have to be established first, certain websites given that they can only use during technology time, and instructions on how to care for the technology.

[Tabatha Provines @ProvinesTabatha]

@StephenieWeaver @feltnerm @smwc I agree! As a teacher I would have a hard time instructing with students on the computer. I would want every students eyes on me during instructing time then they can use computers for the assignment.

[Tabatha Provines @ProvinesTabatha]

@feltnerm @smwc A2: My concerns would be when a student is using a computer, are they really using that computer for the classroom assignments or just for their personal use. Another concern is pop ups and if technology really works correctly.

@LindaCo72934906 @feltnerm @smwc I am limited also where I teach. I do know that there are many ways to teach through education. It can open so many doors for learning. #smwced115 @smwc

[Tabatha Provines @ProvinesTabatha]

@feltnerm @smwc A1: Initially I thought technology would basically be a babysitter in the classroom and it would be used when the teacher didn't want to teach. So many things could get go wrong with technology in the classroom. But that's not how I think now.
