@mrsfoxmusic @SarahQJ You can say that again. Now if only someone could tell them about tattoos...#wuedt6035

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@Jess_Ward87 Yes! To many students it's just a piece of paper, but they need to understand that they could lose their rights to using the network by not being a good digital citizen. #wuedt6035

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@cricket311311 That's a great call. They always know what's best for their students. #wuedt6035

A5: Cyber bullying is probably the most important topic in digital citizenship. According to our readings, cyber bullying can be even more harmful than in person bullying. Breaking the cycle of bullying could change future generations for the better. #wuedt6035

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@SarahQJ A4: Literacy is such a tremendous barrier to ELL and special education students. Any accessibility tool that uses Text to Speech can give students the leg up and provide access to higher level materials. #wuedt6035

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

A3: As math teachers and learners, we're always looking for different perspectives in problem solving. If we're using the same OER as a classroom from across the globe, we can collaborate, share strategies, and grow together #wuedt6035

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@Hickman_wilmU @SarahQJ Excellent point! OER levels the playing fields for districts that don't have the cash flow to have the latest and greatest curriculums! #wuedt6035

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@SarahQJ A2: Curriculum changes so fast that textbook resources often struggle to keep up. OER evolve at a more rapid pace and provide free up to date resources to supplement any curriculum #wuedt6035

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@cricket311311 Same here! It never even crossed my mind and we're the ones supposed to be setting the example. #wuedt6035

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

A1: I was surprised to learn that I couldn't just copy and paste any picture I wanted for educational use in the classroom. I need to make sure that I cite my sources and choose photos which are appropriate for reuse or risk fines! #wuedt6035

Hello everyone. Tony Webb, math teacher from Delcastle Technical High School here #wuedt6035

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@k_alexander213 Definitely! I've learned that having extra "optional" assignments actually motivates students to finish their work to get to the extensions. I couldn't explain why it works, but it does! #wuedt6020

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@KarenDekker @pearson @Google @Panopto Sounds like a good balance. High school should have more assignments like MyLabsPlus to prepare for college. There is no replacement for pencil and paper in math class! Google apps makes producing, collaborating and sharing content so easy #wuedt6020.

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@k_alexander213 My school is pushing for developing blended learning stations during our inter-curricular PLCs. The management of the stations can be tough, but when I've tried it, my students have been engaged. Great idea to add games in there to keep it fun! #wuedt6020

Here's my Twitter Chat question for the #wuedt6020 cohort. Can't wait to hear your responses.

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@Agoodman001 Setting clear, concise goals (and involving your students in the setting of goals) can help students stay focused with open-ended tasks. Just like any skill, it takes practice and reinforcement for students to get used to being in control of their learning outcomes. #wuedt6020

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@AJohnsonCape Mastering fewer technologies is best, as long as your teaching skills that will translate across multiple mediums. Giving students the tools to problem solve and the ability to explore further technology on their own seems to be the best route! #wuedt6020

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@BrettBaxter1971 Technology will never fully replace face-to-face lessons. Blended Learning is about finding the the right "tool" for the job. If tech doesn't fit, don't force it! Developing social skills online and in person are both crucial for 21st century success #wuedt6020

[Anthony Webb @awebbDTHS]

@cricket311311 Requiring students to decompose complex concepts and summarize in student friendly language is such a crucial skill for mastery in any discipline. To connect globally, you can look for accounts that promote discourse in your discipline to start the conversation. #wuedt6020
