One thing I have learn from creating a remote unit is the importance of keeping connected to the students. One way I discovered is helpful is having a daily check in form that asks the students about how they are doing emotionally and with the content. #indt501

One tool I discovered that is helpful with remote learning is @Powtoon! It allows you to create video presentations, whiteboard videos and infographics. This would be great for an asynchronous presentation recording. #indt501

While completing my mini unit I have familiarized myself with Nearpod and have enjoyed the usefulness of the tool. I would use this tool in my classroom to see student engagement with an activity. #indt501

Check out the worksheet on Point of Views I created that can be completed virtually! There are different activities and different digital resources for the lesson. #indt501

I am using the website https://t.co/hSM564OLbx to complete my flipped lesson. This is an amazing community filled with lesson ideas and allows you to create your own interactive lessons. I would use this in the future to create interactive lessons. #indt501

The in-class flip provides differentiation for students who do not have access to technology at home, and providing stations differ for students' needs and strengths. Pr-recording a lecture and stations keeps all students occupied and allows me to go around and help. #indt501

My favorite thing about the flipped classroom is that it promotes independent and student-led thinking. This can benefit the students' critical thinking skills as it gives them more room to think outside of the box. #indt501

@KarneiMallory This is amazing! I would have loved this when I was a student learning about the planets. Implementing this app in your lesson would teach the students while keeping them engaged. #indt501

I implemented QR codes within a lesson activity for connecting song lyrics to themes within “Romeo and Juliet”. I created QR codes for each slide for song lyrics, this allows for easy access. #indt501 Check it out: https://t.co/zREnegE3GP

The article: https://t.co/HLSvoffnQs has given me ideas regarding QR codes, but my favorite is a creative library. I would have students record book reviews and create a QR code to link the review to the book. This would help peers have easy access to the reviews. #indt501

After reading about Augmented Reality I am interested in including it in my classroom. It would help show virtual examples through games that would encourage and entertain my students. What I like most about it is that it can replace worksheets and is accessible. #indt501

[Allison Palmer @Allison_Palmer_]

Working with hyperdoc has allowed me to appreciate the accessibility with having a lesson organized in one tool. I would love to include this tool in my classroom to neatly organize activities within a lesson. #indt501

When creating my lesson for digital literacy I came across this TED Talk I think is beneficial for understanding the concept of Fake News. It focuses on the reality of Fake News, its background of it, and how to approach fake news.#indt501 #checkitout

After reviewing why primary sources are important to integrate because it allows for students to examine content at a deeper level. However, one important take away from the article is to provide students with necessary background, so the students understand the sources. #indt501

I enjoyed the story of Zach and think it can even benefit to be taught in classrooms. This story can help a lesson to teach students how to evaluate their resources with Purpose, Author, and Meta-Web information. This would benefit my students before a research paper. #indt501

[Allison Palmer @Allison_Palmer_]

I used @AdobeSpark to create a poster dedicated to Literary Genres. This would be beneficial in my classroom to teach genres. I was able to match icons with the genres, this will allow students to match the icon/genre to novels. #indt501

[Allison Palmer @Allison_Palmer_]

I made my own version of Ebenezer Scrooge's house with the ghost of Jacob Marley using @tinkercad! This tool is great for understanding settings and teaching students how to develop settings. Check it out! #indt501

While working with @scratch, I have been challenged with my abilities with technological design. It has taught me new skills. As well as it made me realize if I were to include this tool in my class room I would start by modeling it and working together as a class. #indt501

[Allison Palmer @Allison_Palmer_]

While breaking teacher-as-manager focus from the classroom is difficult I would want to break the mindset in my classroom. This gives students permission to attempt new tasks and trust themselves. #indt501

@JFaithHopkins This is a great point, the age range definitely matters and should be taken into consideration based on the technology one is thinking of integrating.
