Embedding subject-specific mentoring programs in technology PD for teachers have shown that they become more positive toward technology and implementation of learner-centered activities.

Professional development for teachers can be a mixed bag when it comes to usefulness. When planning out PD, keep Knowles' six principles of andragogy in mind: need to know, experience, self-concept, readiness, problem orientation, and intrinsic motivation.

Mentoring focuses more on a directive approach by sharing skills and knowledge. Coaching focuses on questioning and providing a space to reflect on how to reach one's goals. Both can provide positive professional growth!

A great resource on writing technology grants by Dr. Sheryl Abshire from developing a needs statement to drafting out a grant timeline! #CSUFedtech #edtechgrants

Having worked at a non-profit to increase exposure of STEM careers to under-represented communities, I couldn't agree more with the need for "retention and belonging." How do we create nurturing learning environments especially in the tech field? #CSUFedtech @An_Wr3n

As schools increasingly incorporate technology into their classrooms, student tech teams become invaluable resources in supporting both students and teachers. #sponsoredcontent @DigitalPromise https://t.co/lYSX97oIxJ

AI can instantly provide students access to the solutions of a complex problem or assignment. How can educators continue to develop the minds of our future generations? Let's consider focusing on the process vs. the answer.

@CSUF_EdTech A5. As life-long learners and educators, MS in Edtech @CSUF_EdTech keeps us current and on our toes! It gives us a professional community to share ideas and reflect on our classroom experiences. #csufedtech #edtech

@CSUF_EdTech A4. I try to make connections about what they see outside of the classroom with the 8 mathematical practices: sharing arguments, critiquing the reasoning of others, and using tools strategically. #csufedtech #socialmedia

[David Tong-Nguyen @TeachwithTong]

@edtechleeder @CSUF_EdTech The struggle! That's why I still like to balance both using digital tools and simply writing out their mathematical reasoning on paper.

[David Tong-Nguyen @TeachwithTong]

@CSUF_EdTech A2. We need to ensure that students have proper accessibility to digital content in our instructional materials. I make sure to understand my student demographic in order to provide translation tools that support English Learners. #csufedtech #digitalinclusion
