It’s unimaginable how far we can go if we know how to utilize technology. Learning about the many tools that Google has to offer has been life changing. I’m really excited to keep learning about implementing technology in the classroom. #csubted4200 #csubted

Closing: I really enjoyed the twitter chat! Im also new to twitter, so it was nice to open an account with an educational purpose. I think it’s a great platform to connect with colleagues, friends, and to stay updated on daily news. #csubted #csubedte4200 @Tech_Buddha

@Marisol30764871 @Ststansberry Hi Marisol! You have great points. Also, Kahoot allows for competition, which inspires students to try their best. And it’s a great way to make quizzes not sound like quizzes, haha!

[Alondra Avila @aas0612]

@K_L_Harris_14 @Tech_Buddha Kristen, I would also use Pear Deck because it allows for students to learn in a fun way. I’m also with you on the accessibility and convenience of this tool; it makes our job easier.

[Alondra Avila @aas0612]

A4: platforms such as pear deck and Google slides can be used to increase participation in the classroom. Having students collaborate on the same project can be inspiring to help each other and do better. #CSUBTED #csubedte4200 @Tech_Buddha

@ewelch836 Erin, making technology available to parents is crucial. If they are able to navigate different platforms, communication between educators, students, and parents can be improved—communication is vital for success.

@amandolorian @Ststansberry @doctor2pi @Tech_Buddha @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole Amanda, I think you make a great point. School in rural areas don’t always have free devices to offer to all students, which may interfere with students’ ability to navigate technology successfully.

[Alondra Avila @aas0612]

A3: technology can be made available to the entire community through libraries that have free wifi and access to computers. Although most people have access to smart devices and the internet, extreme poverty and rural areas can be obstacles. #CSUBTED #csubedte4200 @Tech_Buddha

@AlexisKyker @Tech_Buddha @doctor2pi @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @BarnellNicole Hi Alexis, I agree with you. Duolingo offers different features that are appealing to English learners. It also has different levels, which allows for students to improve their language skills and not get stuck with the same knowledge. It’s a great app!

[Alondra Avila @aas0612]

@Lizzfedez Liz, as an English Learner I can tell you that Duolingo works! It’s a free app that allows you to work on your grammar, and improve it. If students stay consistent, it can definitely help their learning journey.

[Alondra Avila @aas0612]

A2: Duolingo is an application that can help English learners. This app allows for easy, guided exercises to learn a new language. It’s a great app to learn and apply new knowledge. #csubted #csubedte4200 @Tech_Buddha

@mvillareal01 @Tech_Buddha Marilyn, Google slides and software recording are great tools to enhance communication and share information with students. #csubted @Tech_Buddha

[Alondra Avila @aas0612]

@KarinaC3445 @doctor2pi Karina, I completely agree with you! Apps allow for easy communication, and make it more fun. It serves as motivation to learn about technology and the people around you. #csubted @Tech_Buddha

[Alondra Avila @aas0612]

A1: Platforms on the internet allow for easy communication with students, and make it fun. For instance, questionnaires can be created to know how students feel about the course, and where they need extra help. Assessments and activities can be enhanced! #csubted @Tech_Buddha
