This article acts as a great resource for educators, as it offers multiple digital tools that can be used in math lessons. This list was created from teacher recommendations and includes the benefits and skills that each program focuses on for students' use. #gilmaned210

Websites like Open Middle, Would You Rather Math, and Fraction Talks provide a lot of examples of open and rich math tasks. Educators weigh in on digital math tools that work whether you teach online or in-person.

Word Clouds are a great tool to use in the classroom and offer support to students in many ways. Educators can upload texts to Word Cloud and the program will pull out the most frequently used words, helping students recognize the most important parts of the text. #gilmaned210

Here’s how to work with students to create word clouds—information in visual form—that will give them another view of a subject.

Interactive learning menus can play a huge role in ELA instruction, especially with student engagement. Learning menus provide students with choices. Giving students a choice, allows them to choose how they learn, but also makes it more engaging and interactive. #gilmaned210

This tweet shows an example of how UDL is represented in the classroom setting. Flexible seating and grouping allow students a choice of where they sit, and what kind of environment they learn in. It gives them a change in their learning environment. #gilmaned210

@MeaghanDrew Hi Meaghan! I thought this was such a great article! I really liked how it focused on teaching educators how to use it so that they can provide maximum support to students. This is such a great program that provides students with a different and engaging way of learning

@Jessierindos_ I thought this was a great article! I'm using a simulation in my lesson plan too, so I thought this gave me really helpful tips when looking at my own simulation, and deciding whether or not it was the best tool to use.

[Riley Marsden @RileyMarsden37]

For my lesson plan, I want to use a simulation of the solar system. This article explains the program Viewpoint, which is a simulation tool that is being used in college classrooms to expose students to real-world problems and scenarios. #gilmaned210 https://t.co/FACYhjmU7A

I thought that this was a really great representation of SAMR in terms of reading. It includes each of the 4 stages of SAMR, and gives a direct explanation of how educators could enhance their lessons and make it more innovative and transformative for their students. #gilmaned210

Looking to #levelup your @myONreader usage with the #SAMR model? Try these ideas! @missbritaustin

This article gives a different perspective of learning about the 4 C's through the use of comic books. I thought that this idea was very modern and innovative, and was a great way for students to understand each C and also stay engaged. #gilmaned210 https://t.co/VfOj9o0rSv

@Jessierindos_ @maureen_gilman I agree! I think that there is so much more that we need to be teaching students, beyond just doing well on standardized tests. #gilmaned210

[Riley Marsden @RileyMarsden37]

@JuliePurtschert @maureen_gilman We need to teach students skills that are going to help them in the real world, beyond the classroom. We are always going to be learning, and have social-emotional skills, but if we don't teach students how to develop and manage them, it is only going to hurt them. #gilmaned210

[Riley Marsden @RileyMarsden37]

@maureen_gilman I agree with the podcast, that focusing on the curriculum isn't going to teach students those core skills. Teachers should be creating a new culture, by trying new and different things, as well as being provided with in-class training. #gilmaned210 #transformativeteaching

[Riley Marsden @RileyMarsden37]

This article explains that while getting technology in schools and homes is important to close the digital divide, partnering with parents and training them to use technology is what is actually going to get them there. #gilmaned210

@JuliePurtschert I really liked the quote you chose from this article. I thought it really summed up the major points they were trying to make and I completely agree with the idea that we don't need to get rid of technology entirely, but find ways to manage it in a way that avoids distraction.

[Riley Marsden @RileyMarsden37]

I thought this was a good quote. "When students are able to connect their habits to their goals, they find the motivation to limit their social media time, not because they are told to, but because they understand their finite time can be better spent in other ways." #gilmaned210

When students understand the benefits of limiting screen time, they are better able to manage their own distractions. Students Need to Learn to Manage Their Own Screen Time / @edutopia https://t.co/5Vxs1jOwlQ

My SMART goal is to learn about new and innovative strategies that can be used in the classroom to support students. This article explains how important it is for students to reflect on their behavior, rather than being punished for it. #gilmaned210

[edutopia @edutopia]

“As a school, we resolved to teach students to become reflective thinkers.” See how a “reflection room” transformed how one school manages discipline.

When you add digital storytelling to your ELA curriculum, students can experience many frames of reference, like a video adaptation of a poem.

This article made me think about the introduction videos we did in class. Our identity is what is going to shape our values and who we are as educators. It is so important that we celebrate students identities & create an accepting and welcoming learning environment #gilmaned210

[Riley Marsden @RileyMarsden37]

My goals for this class are to expand my knowledge of the role technology plays in the classroom and find new programs that can be used to support students. I hope to use our own PLC to hear and share experiences with others and reach my goals. #gilmaned210
