I loved hearing everyone presentations tonight! #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

We learned about choice boards today in class, it gives students some power in what they want to learn! Definitely something educators should be using #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

Learned some information on how infographics can be used in the classroom #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

Made this infographic today about students and digital content! #tec207 https://t.co/ddyVcz1qdA #infographic

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

Heard a lot of great information from @Glennr1809 Learned about what school districts will be looking for in my social media accounts #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

Parent communication in a classroom is essential, here are some ways I plan on having open communication! #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@ScottRRocco A16- I would warn them about what is out there and how things are never truly deleted. If someone posted the same thing about them, would they be happy? Give them information on what personal info not to post #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@ScottRRocco A15- students need to take the information they learn on social media and apply it to other things. I think it is possible but would be hard for students who are not used to it #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@ScottRRocco A14- Students need to learn social media literacy skills in order to know what is fake, what is real, and what to be cautious of #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@ScottRRocco A13- learn from the issue and realize in the grand scheme of things, it isn't the end of the world #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@ScottRRocco A12- you shouldn't say anything online that you wouldn't say in person. Calling or talking in person helps reduce the extreme comments you wouldn't tell someone face to face #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@MissVictoriaK @ScottRRocco Different students have different ideas and you can learn something from another student you wouldn't learn from a teacher #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@ScottRRocco A11- I think the best way to use this strategy is take a step away when something frustrates you. Don't act right away and leave the situation alone #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@ScottRRocco A10- skills learned through technology are important things other than technology. I will identify the transferability of these skills by giving different activites to students. Not centering the whole class around technology #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@ScottRRocco A9- teamwork and collaboration is key in everything in life. It is one of the most desired characteristics by companies. School is a building block of this and teachers don't want to lose this when using edtec. #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@MeadowMedina @ScottRRocco Organization is key! I remember being in classes with no organization and vaulable time was wasted and no one knew what was going on #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@ScottRRocco A8- it can be hard with technology to see if all students are understanding a concept. Collaboration is also important and that can sometimes be lost in technology. Teachers don't want to lose these valubale things! #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@ScottRRocco A7- a core set of tools is great for getting students comfortable with the same thing. This way time is not being used explaining a new tool but used for learning. This helps students feel comfortable using the same technology. #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@ScottRRocco A6- The comparison to cauliflower is saying that we have used cauliflower in many different ways like we have used technology in different ways. This will impact the classroom by using a variety of things to get students to understand. Things like videos, pictures, etc. #tec207

[Rachel Brooks @Rachelb921]

@AysiahLena @ScottRRocco This made me think of a quote from a past professor, "teaching is loving something so much your students learn to love it too" #tec207
