Did you know? When sharing a link to a YouTube video - add a Hyphen (-) after the 't' and it will share an "add free, full screen, view only" link. Try it out!
Great for Seesaw, Slides, Classroom, emails...

@ChelsiJanicek @b_pofahl I got iPods for my classroom a few years ago...and they are already obsolete. I use them for podcasts and the students always ask me if they are phones!

@lmermaid33 Preach!

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

@ChelsiJanicek @GoehringCrista Collaboration with others is such an important skill.

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

@ChelsiJanicek @CPersigehl @zoom_us I agree...the tech is a tool, not the teacher!

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

@maestramalvais It is definitely the future!

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

Final Thoughts: Technology can truly redefine learning in the classroom if it is used purposely and effectively. We need to help our students become digital citizens who use technology to understand and then add to the world! #tldeuno2020

@eduardoaw10 @ChelsiJanicek I was bummed when I saw that most of the curation tools cost money to use.

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

@MsBieber_BHS It allows you to create interactive lessons with quizzes and other activities...kind of like Google Slides on steroids!

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

@GoehringCrista This often gets overlooked...great point!

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

@eduardoaw10 Totally agree that we need to consider if the tool is actually improving student learning!

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

@maestramalvais Great point! Accessibility is so important!

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

@ChelsiJanicek Have you tried Pear Deck yet? I thought it looked like a cool add on for Google.

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

@b_pofahl Brains On! Story Pirates! Wow in the World! I use podcasts in my classroom and kids love it!

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

A3: Teachers should consider that technology is just a learning tool, not the curriculum. Technology can enhance lessons, increase accessibility, and differentiate learning, but it cannot replace effective instruction. #tldeuno2020

@TimCawthorn @b_pofahl I have iPods in my classroom that I got through a grant a few years ago...before iPhones were used for music, etc. I have downloaded a bunch of fun podcasts and my students love to listen to them.

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

@danielle_dyer10 That students can show their learning through all types of media - videos, photos, drawings, audio recordings, website links...and of course, documents.

[betterlearn @betterlearn2]

A2: My favorite tech tool currently is a multimedia application called SeeSaw. I use it to communicate with parents, practice skills, and promote collaboration. SeeSaw allows students to use video, audio, images, links, drawings, and text to demonstrate learning. #tldeuno2020
