@HistoryTeddi I do the same thing! It's hard when you have to get used to something new in every different school district.

A7: I don't think I've been in a situation where I try a new tool and it doesn't work out, but I have had technology problems before. It can be frustrating when technology doesn't work the way you want it to, but it is important to stay patient!

@thedobby22 Google has great ways of introducing collaboration into the classroom! JamBoard is another good one!

My go to tech tool to get students engaged is kahoot! It works great for reviews and formative check ins.

@hl_miller07 Very true! It's important to look at positives when it comes to this topic too!

A5: Well I wish barriers to digital equity would be addressed further. I think we need to be doing more to provide equitable access to technology across socioeconomic and cultural lines.

A4: While I am not yet in a class room full time, from what I have seen teachers use technology in the classroom daily.

@hl_miller07 Yes Hannah it's great to still get students to write down answers on paper! Sometimes it helps them learn a concept more fully.

A3: I think that teachers should use as much technology as their comfortable with and that doesn't further confuse students. I think if a more traditional classroom works for some teachers that's great and if more tech works for others, that's also great.

@KendraJ21006542 I said something similar, Kendra. Having a feelings chart can be a great way to quickly check in with students.

[Sam @SPolk555]

A2: I think it's great to have something simple like a chart that students can use to identify their current emotional state.

@mslick100 This is so true! Coding is very beneficial for students to learn about.

A1:
Coding can be beneficial to teach in schools because students can think in different ways to solve the same problems. It also opens up career opportunities that students might not have thought about.

@HistoryTeddi It feels more and more like this every day!

A5:
The traditional classroom is similar to the digital classroom in that lesson planning and expectations are important. They are different in that the ways that students are learning and teachers are teaching can be completely different.

@hl_miller07 I love the GIF you added to illustrate your point! Safety is so important in the classroom!

A4:

The classroom environment is the arena in which teaching and learning take place. Cultivating the right classroom environment can make or break the teaching and learning taking place.
