@KUTR_BCSD @csubted @doctor2pi @Ststansberry @Duncannedd @tom_karnes @MaddernBryan Thank you! The discussion was very informative and it gave me new ideas to try out in my own classroom. #csubted @DrEddiesClass

@marielambravo42 @MaddernBryan @SarahCeja03 Hi Mariela,
I had not thought about the privacy issue that YouTube poses. I believe that in terms of privacy, Flipgrid is a superior platform. It allows students to be creative and create interesting videos for classmates to respond to via a video. #csubted @DrEddiesClass

@Mari05678 @MaddernBryan @SarahCeja03 @Duncannedd @csubted Hi Maria,
I think that's a great idea. For me, it's tough to work out if I am not listening to music. I get bored, lack motivation, and stop my workout before time. Most gyms have music, and I think it creates a great ambiance. Students would enjoy it too. #csubted @DrEddiesClass

@MaddernBryan @SarahCeja03 A4) I would have loved to use Youtube to create class presentations. The use of YouTube could have led to unique presentations in the classroom. It would have also been to have alternative to writing papers or creating slide presentations. #csubted @DrEddiesClass

@conceptionv2 @Ststansberry @joceperezCSUB Hi Victoria,
I had never thought of using a podcast as a tool to deliver an engaging lesson. I believe that it's a great idea and beneficial for ELL students, as it allows them to hear spoken English. It can then lead to engaging classroom discussions. #csubted @DrEddiesClass

@mzlupitareyes @Ststansberry @joceperezCSUB @Duncannedd Hi Lupita,
I use IXL in my classroom to help students review lower-level questions. I believe it is beneficial for ELL students. Math is universal, and they can achieve success in it. However, IXL should be used with caution and not as a core assignment. #csubted @DrEddiesClass

@Ststansberry @joceperezCSUB A3) A technology that is beneficial for ELL students, especially those that don't speak English, is Google Translate. Students can speak or type in their native language, and although not perfect, it will help them hear and see the translation in English. #csubted @DrEddiesClass

@TracieBrackins @tom_karnes @CsubMadelyns @Duncannedd Hi Tracie,
I agree with you. I hated any class where all a teacher would do is read off a powerpoint. I thought it was a waste of my time and I could easily do that on my own time. I believe students at any grade level feel the same way. #csubted @DrEddiesClass

@kassidy_mason2 @tom_karnes @CsubMadelyns @Ststansberry Hi Kassidy,
I completely agree with you. I believe that technology should used at school, but not expected to be used at home by students. Sometimes, we know very little about a students home life and a small assignment can create a big headache. #csubted @DrEddiesClass

@tom_karnes @CsubMadelyns A2: A common way I’ve seen technology create inequitable challenges is when teachers assign students homework online. Students can have limited wifi and/or no device at home. Often times, this leads to creating unnecessary stress to students and parents. #csubted @DrEddiesClass

@MythyWriterGuy @doctor2pi @tom_karnes Hi Joel,
I had not heard of Pear Deck before. It seems to provide teachers with many interesting real-world resources that can be used in the classroom to spark student interest and conversations. Definitely, something I will look into more. #csubted @DrEddiesClass

@SusieGamino @doctor2pi Hi Susie, I also find Google Classroom to be very helpful. It helps me stay organized and gives my students a one stop destination for many resources. I had not heard of Padlet before, but it's something I will definitely look into. #csubted @DrEddiesClass

[Andres Rodriguez @AndresCSUB]

@doctor2pi A1: I have found Google Classroom to be a helpful technology resource. It has allowed me to keep all my periods organized and a one-stop place for students to find many resources, such as google slides and docs, which I use for collaboration. #CSUBTEd @DrEddiesClass
