Just learned all about Hour of Code! It's this website that helps kids of all grade levels work on their computational thinking skills though code! Highly recommend! #EDUC387010 #hourofcode #compthinking https://t.co/6sPrNlKsST

This week I learned about assistive technology. It’s a wonderful way to incorporate technology into the classroom in a way that helps students with their learning!! #AT #UDCDS #EDUC387010

[Rachel Brooks @Rbrooks624]

This week I learned about assistive technology. Not only did I learn about it I had the opportunity to go into the AT center on campus and use some AT to truly understand what it was and its importance. #EDUC387010 #AT #UDCDS

AI/Chat GPT is such a helpful tool if used correctly. Students can easily take advantage of this resource but teachers should show their classes how to use these tools in a productive manner! #AI #EDUC387010

[Rachel Brooks @Rbrooks624]

AI/ChatGPT are technology tools that can be used in the classroom. They will have a large impact on the future of education both positively and negatively. We need to figure out the extent that we want to use this technology and then it will be valuable. #EDUC387010 #ChatGPT #AI

This week, I created my own micro-lesson for the flipped classroom experience. I focused on the different types of clouds and created a fun and informative presentation for students! ☁️🌤️

This week I created my own micro lesson in a flipped classroom format. It was really cool to be able to use the different resources and materials in order to create my lesson. I used google slides and then recorded my presentation using zoom! #EDUC387010 #flippedclassroom #google

[Rachel Brooks @Rbrooks624]

Flipped classrooms are when students learn a lesson outside of class and when they are in class they do worksheets where their teachers can help them. I like the concept of a flipped classroom and I think that it can be beneficial. #EDUC387010 #flippedclass #edtech

[Isabella Brandi @IsabellaBrandi2]

I learned many benefits of flipped classrooms and how to incorporate this successfully into my future classroom! Students engage with new material first at home, and then they will be able to use the new information in the classroom with the teacher! #EDUC387010 #edtech #flipped

[Rachel Brooks @Rbrooks624]

In class this week we worked with Scratch. With Scratch we created our own dance party which was super cool. We were able to create our own code and change it around until we liked it which was so fun. Here's a picture of my dance party! #EDUC387010 #Scratch #edtech

This week I learned about Hour of Code. I had a lot of fun looking through all of the lessons and activities! It is a great way to continue learning while making it fun and interactive for students. This is an activity I completed. #EDUC387010 #HourofCode #edtech

[Rachel Brooks @Rbrooks624]

This week I explored virtual field trips. I created my own on Google Earth which was really cool. There are so many great virtual field trips that teachers can use in their classrooms. I made one on the American Museum of Natural History. #EDUC387010 #AMNH #virtualfieldtrips

[Rachel Brooks @Rbrooks624]

I discovered a great tool that can help in my future classroom. It's called Popplet, a great resource that you can use with students to get them engaged in a discussion. Here is a Popplet that I made about structures of a book. #EDUC387010 #poppletapp #Reading

Digital citizenship encourages students to use their knowledge to protect and promote human rights online. For example, privacy and security. This helps students become more aware of internet safety. #EDUC387010

[Rachel Brooks @Rbrooks624]

Digital citizenship is a way of being, thinking and acting online. You have the ability to act responsibly in the way that you communicate with others and behave through an online platform. This is so important because everything we do is online. #EDUC387010 #digitalcitizen

[Samuel Efosa-Austin @ECOevangelists]

For the mind how to be a good #DigitalCitizens ?
