Cyberbullying further evolves and threatens young children to older adults as technology advances. With a lack of strategies to prevent attacks, the following article highlights behaviours and possible solutions in further research #PLN #CTL1617

Bullying no longer stems from inside the classroom, but has been taken to new heights on virtual platforms. We often see how moral disengagement masks cyberbullying behaviours as “just a joke”. #PLN #CTL1617

@ArunaBhalla99 Teaching students how to refrain them from using it as a tool for plagiarism is a big goal. As long as we highlight to our students how and when to appropriately use AI (e.g., brainstorming) and set guidelines, this may remove a lot of the grey area for its use in education!

[Franco Galvez @TheMrGalvez]

@ArunaBhalla99 AI is a scary, yet extremely valuable asset for both educators and learners. Trying to ignore or hide AI tools such as chatGPT will only encourage the negative use of these tools. Educating students our students on appropriate ways to use AI tools will benefit their learning!

@cheningtawu Technology has also produced this need for 'instant gratification' which requires everything needed to be done in an instant. Teaching and learning is a patient process, which is why we need to find a balance between technological use and pedagogical practices in the classroom!

[Franco Galvez @TheMrGalvez]

@cheningtawu I think that with excessive reliance on technology in the classroom, comes the possibility of reduced attention spans which is detrimental to learning! Technology is an extremely helpful tool for both students and educators. But...

@BriannaTan726 Also if you find an imbalance in the class and the students are at different levels in terms of motivation to learn, what I would do was provide them a quick 5-minute break. Sometimes students need that quick reset to gather themselves to get them back on track. #PLN #CTL1617

[Franco Galvez @TheMrGalvez]

@BriannaTan726 I felt this same exact way throughout my practicum at times. Incorporating interactive elements and multiple media forms throughout the lesson enhanced my teaching style! I would have an informative point on one slide, and then I would show a video on the next slide to build on!

Promoting and creating safe spaces is essential for not only students, but those around you in the work place. Lets work together towards an inclusive and positive working environment. #PLN #CTL1617

It is empowering to see incremental changes like this within school boards. HCDSB embracing indigenous culture to brings awareness and justice to its community. We must respect indigenous cultures in our communities on the land that we all share 👏 #PLN #CTL1617

Watching this Ted Talk was extremely valuable in highlighting how A.I can be used as a TOOL in education as opposed to a 'cheating mechanism'. Khan Academy integrates the Khanmigo AI feature that guides students and refrains from instantly providing the answer! #PLN #CTL1617

Imagine every student with an AI personal tutor and every teacher with an AI teaching assistant!

Technology in the classroom can be a controversial topic for many educators. As a prospecting Health & P.E. teacher, how can I implement gamification and technology use within my classroom to increase engagement and physical activity habits outside of gym class? #PLN #CTL1617

[Franco Galvez @TheMrGalvez]

Win-Win situation in my books 👌

[Franco Galvez @TheMrGalvez]

Technologies' exponential growth within classrooms has produced declining trends in physical activity. Especially in the youth. Turning coding into forms of physical activity and games? Bridging the gaps in STEAM and school communities 🤯 #PLN #CTL1617 https://t.co/oMS8xx7jCW

@soundtrap is an excellent resource that provides easy access to a plethora of beats, rhythms, and musical variety in your own virtual studio! As an educator enhance your musical units, classroom interactivity and digital literacy. Here's a snippet #PLN #CTL1617 #Butimnotarapper
