@KatieMu76677376 @LouriNieman Ooooh. Touche. #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

@LouriNieman I think in certain situations this would in fact be incredibly useful, like in medical emergencies to help expedite treatment options. But other than that I think it's a bit creepy #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

@CaitlinGoldblum Same! My brain goes straight to the movie "I, Robot" movie with Will Smith and instantly I'm terrified. #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

Thanks to the Kelly video, I finally understand how self- driving cars work #EDU6323

@nms_elearning @KatieMu76677376 My fear/ concern is that holographic conversations fully replace what we consider “real” right now #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

Using digital twins as the “guinea pig” before enacting physical change seems like it would save time & money in the long run if you don’t need to fear failure #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

@jessvalli Same! I made a note while I was watching to explore the reality of utilizing Devar as an instructional tool in school districts. #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

@EgleSlezas Absolutely! My district provides regular PD’s on mindset and principals do a good job of following up at the school level to promote a positive culture of growth #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

@stephanie_frad It almost feels like I could illustrate a social progression of myself throughout the years with how much I’ve been reflecting on how I’ve changed at various points in my life #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

@NEULauraC @Mentimeter Nice! I haven't used Mentimeter myself but my teacher colleagues love it as an engaging tool for students. #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

@KatieMu76677376 @CaitlinGoldblum I agree with Caitlin in that students visibly relax when an activity feels "less pressurized" such as ones where they get to see a whole group response #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

@CaitlinGoldblum Definitely a great form of formative assessment! I love using anonymous polls in the classroom to gauge student understanding. The low stakes pressure environment helps students feel vulnerable to share their answers without fear of judgment #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

@NEULauraC Or does gamification count as a form of polling?! #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

Does anyone else remember using clickers back during their college days? That was my first introduction to polling within formal academia, and I’ll be honest- my little nerdy heart loved every minute #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

@bwatwood @jessvalli No way! This is so cool- and handy! @bwatwood would you be "okay" with students including Wikipedia in their citation list, in addition to others? #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

#EDU6323 Let's be honest- we all use Wikipedia, but it seems we draw the line when it comes to citations given any given person can contribute to the site which therein minimizes the site's credibility.

"When media changes, human relations change." (Wesch). What an interesting point that speaks to the incredible power of media in our lives- and our willingness (and speed with which) to adapt #EDU6323

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

@EgleSlezas @NEULauraC @eliza_stern @EgleSlezas What an interesting point! Do you question the "worthiness" of creating videos given you have only ~50% watching?

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

#EDU6323 Kelly’s point about “while we watch out, it watches in” brings to the surface just how little control we have over privacy, no matter how many restrictions we set up.

[WhitneySpiehler @SpiehlerWhitney]

@eliza_stern @neuAnnaK @LouriNieman @pantellere Excellent Point! Your comment about expertise laying within the possession of a few makes me consider the level of greed within academia #EDU6323
