So excited that Carmen Sandiego is back! She sparked my love for learning geography when I was young and I owe a lot of my world travels to Carmen. Most definitely going to add this to my HSS curriculum as a teacher. https://t.co/zMxBEW3Duq #edtech via @EdSurge
Thanks to #edel522 I have learned how amazing @twitter is for teachers! Wow! I am so excited about all the wonderful #edtech resources I have access to, for free. Looking forward to trying them out this year. #mindblown#csufedtech
@LeaunaBrown @Flipgrid I love using #flipgrid as a way for my 5th graders to share (and support!) their opinion before putting it in written words. Then they can hear others' thoughts. Communication is an important part of #digitalliteracy that this activity supports. #csufedtech
When teaching our students about #digitalliteracy it is important to educate them about copyrighted work and open sources. #creativecommons has a helpful website to search for those materials. #csufedtech@creativecommons

@manda_leigh78 Students can keep track of their own progress or even "screenshot" and share with you. I have not tried creating a "class" on https://t.co/STFjCWIElI. I just let students work at their own pace.
@ericcurts@ericcurts Thanks for the suggestions! I particularly love the idea of using pattern block templates on #Googledrawing. The #mysteryanimal game looks awesome, but do you know how difficult the animals' names are? Does it stay pretty simple? #csufedtech
@manda_leigh78 @manda_leigh78 I have had decent success with https://t.co/STFjCWIElI. The best part for me is that it offers "Google sign-on", which my students have so they don't have to learn #anotherpassword. However, the ads do get obnoxious at times. #csufedtech
Interesting article on the need for #medialiteracy in education. I appreciate the author's take on #framing and how the media holds the power to shape what we see, hear, and read. #csufedtech https://t.co/kelk8Yj2FB via @ConversationCA
#medialiteracy is an important topic for all educators. Here is a quick reference sheet for both teachers and students to reference. Thank you to the National Association for Media Literacy Education. #csufedtech

A4. I have found the hardest part is getting my 5th graders to be thoughtful and diligent with their collaboration online. I think it's hard for them to take #onlinecommunication seriously. I had to do some DI on how to correctly reply to peers and give suggestions. #csufedtech
@MsHooper13@RokeiRockstars @Flipgrid My 5th grade team just recently switched our "traditional" state report to a digital project...using iOS Keynote and Clips apps. Your idea of using @Flipgrid takes it to a whole other level!! #loveit#edtech#csufedtech
A3. I have never actually used any #edtech to connect my students with experts. We did a #flipgrid activity with another 5th grade class in a different city but never with experts. I think it's a great idea though and would love to try it! #csufedtech
@kimmy081185@Seesaw Awesome! That sounds like such an awesome way to get Ss excited about communicating their learning and get parents involved as partners!
