@feltnerm @smwc A5: Definitely parent/teacher conferences would be beneficial so both the parent and teacher knows what to expect in the classroom. Parents should also help prepare their child for the blended learning environment at home. #SMWCED115@smwc
@feltnerm @IXLLearning@smwc A6:
Improve reading comprehensive with @ReadWorks. You can choose different Lexile reading numbers for each student.
Learn Earth Geography using @googleearth. Students could then interview people who lived in the area, city, etc., the students are researching.

@nicholscarlie11 @BabyBirdMeg33 @feltnerm @smwc I think a SmartBoard would be a great benefit for the classroom. A lot of teachers who have a smart board use a program called Smart Exchange, which has every type of subject, lesson, or test that any teacher desires. It works well with both indivuals and groups. @smwc#SMWCED115
@nicholscarlie11 @feltnerm @IXLLearning@smwc I love and enjoy Kahoot and I think it would be great tool use as testing the students. Students have fun while the teacher receives feedback of each individual student. #SMWCED115@smwc
@ProvinesTabatha @feltnerm @smwc I like how the Google Classroom can connect students with everyone, allowing them to share their ideas and be a unique factor in the classroom.#SMWCED115@smwc
@feltnerm @smwc A7: I would use the SAMR Swimming pool model. This model is very helpful for both students and teachers on how to incorporate technology in the class room. It clearly explains the progression from substitution to redefinition. #SMWCED115@smwc
@feltnerm @smwc A8: I would use IXL because it is used to prepare students for the state wide standardized testing. It helps in all subjects and teachers are able to receive feedback on their studentโs progress. #SMWCED115@smwc
@cooter883 @feltnerm @smwc I am currently still in college, but I will have to keep Pinterest in mind! This app seems very popular and beneficial for teachers!
@ProvinesTabatha @feltnerm @smwc I agree! Open communication between the teacher and parents helps parents to be more comfortable about their childโs education. #SMWCED115@smwc
@Danielle_lance2 @feltnerm @smwc I agree! If teachers go through a training, then they feel more confident and be more willing to use the technology for their lessons. @smwc#SMWCED115
@feltnerm @smwc A4: Teachers would appreciate an inservice to help them understand what programs are on the device and how to use the device. Having programs that provide feedback on a students progress to teachers would be very successful. #SMWCED115@smwc
@AshleyDMurphy83 @feltnerm @smwc I agree with you completely! Technology can be very distracting, and having guidelines would be very beneficial to the students and teachers. @smwc#SMWCED115
@feltnerm @smwc A3: I agree with other classmates saying to review the classroom/internet policy. I would explain to students I expect only things pertaining to the lesson on their screen and I will tell them when they can play games, do other homework, etc. #SMWCED115@SMWC
@Jacquel071176 @feltnerm @smwc This is also a main concern for me. Students growing up in this day of age seem to know and understand technology very well. I feel when I become a teacher my students might have to teach me a couple things.
@feltnerm @smwc A2: My main concern about technology in the class room is distraction. When each student has their own device, they can become problematic and distracting (Such as playing ineffective online games when the teacher is talking). #SMWCED115@smwc
@feltnerm @smwc A1:For my initial reaction, I was not surprised. Technology is quickly becoming an important part not only in education but around the whole world. Implementing technology will only help students to become more use to this new digital world surrounding them.#SMWCED115@smwc
