Classroom discussion are a great online tool that students are able to use to communicate with classmates. What are some of the best discussion tools you have found? #gvtech

[Caleb @SprangerCaleb50]

I think prior to the learning module I would want kid's input, and adapt it to what they kids need more help on. #GVtech

AI is becoming more prominent, and this is something that teachers should become more aquatinted with as it grows. It's not something to be that we should steer away from, but we should guide students in proper use of. #gvtech

[Caleb @SprangerCaleb50]

As a teacher we should encourage, support, and provide students the ability to express their knowledge in fun and creative ways. Especially when there is so many different technologies and things they can use to do that. #gvtech

An important aspect of teaching is to keep in mind the access the students have for electronics, and if they are able to use it outside the class/school. #gvtech

"It’s great watching students lead the conversations and correcting each other’s misconceptions."

What's ONE way you show Ss that mistake-making is okay?

Authentic learning should be a part of the classroom. It allows students to discuss real world situations, and figure out solutions. They will hopefully be interested in it more since it has a bigger impact on their lives directly. #gvtech

"Social media is like water; it's everywhere. You can either let us down or teach us to swim." Quote from a Student

When a student said that on a professional learning day I was leading it really hit me. I thought about the following - Are we guiding students and our own children on social media based on our experience or assumptions?

Not just the potential opportunities, but the negative aspects of sharing online as well.

I know that my health, both physical and mental, really suffered when I spent too much time using different social networks, especially at specific times of day. I always appreciated working out first thing in the morning, but would often check Twitter, Instagram, email, etc. before starting my day. Often, I would get sucked into a spiral of information, and it would sometimes lead to my workout regimen being shortened. Sometimes, I would get caught up in a spiral of negative emotions, and although I would do my workout, it definitely didn’t have the same energy, because I was thrown off mentally.

One of the things that I have committed to is not looking at email or social media before I exercise in the morning. Not only do I not get caught up in all of the information that is being shared (and will be there later on anyway), but I also feel that I am so much better equipped to deal with anything that comes my way after pushing myself physically.

Another strategy that I use for social media is turning off all notifications. I never let my phone pull me to it; I go to it when it makes sense to me. This has helped me tremendously in so many aspects of my life.

All this being said, I still see huge opportunities in social media use, from having the experience of participating in different spaces. But I also don’t let it drive me. The ups and downs of different spaces have taught me a lot, and I know that it helps me to better parent my own kids on how to use different mediums.

What are some things you used to do on social media, that you no longer do, and how has it improved your well-being?

I think an important thing to remember in education is that kids might need additive technology once we give it to them. Like we aren’t gonna take someone’s glasses away after so many years #gvtech

[Caleb @SprangerCaleb50]

One Way I want to incorporate technology is by having the students work collaboratively on it using applications and understanding how to work together. Like researching efficiently, making a presentation together, or making a podcast #gvtech

What will the future of teaching be like with AI? #gvtech

[Caleb @SprangerCaleb50]

@MichaelGVann "The Great Hanoi Rat Hunt" His book would be a book I recommend in my classroom because it's a graphic novel and not a typical text book. This made it interesting to learn about the topic.

[Caleb @SprangerCaleb50]

@gcouros I think would make for a good follow. He talks about the student and teacher relationship and how important that is which is great.
