@Swalls725 I'm learning about Google Jamboards for shared workspaces. The Googledocs suite is great, too. Sharing people as commenters and editors is a great way to give different levels of access. #wuedt6020

@Annaa_Mitchell I have a hard time finding a practical use for it. It's pretty easy to keep safe if it's through a school-monitored system. Schoology is great, but something like Facebook is a liability waiting to get us in trouble. I'd love to see some push-back and be proven wrong! #wuedt6020

@SydneeProsserWU Hey Sydnee!
I am a fan of throwing together a quick reflection or quiz on Schoology at the end of class. If I realized I missed something prepping for the lesson it's easy to add to it at the end. #wuedt6020

@maheck1106 I think leading by example and giving vigilant reminders to our students about how important, powerful, and distracting tech is. When it's away, it needs to be away (for me included). We only have so much learning time and we need to be present. #wuedt6020

@trhoran88 I think a big part of it is additional resources students can have access to. I started filming videos of my lessons a couple years ago and am getting a pretty big catalog for one course. Some students prefer to watch my videos, even though they never miss my class! #wuedt6020

@BrittanySantoni @RoeEDT That's a really neat concept. Worldwide collaboration is crucial in tackling future problems from all possible perspectives. Teaching our students to do this in school will aide them in the future. #wuedt6020

@CaitlinWilmu @RoeEDT Good points in your post! I specifically enjoy Youtube's ability to unify the world. Watching how teachers in other classrooms handle topics is inspiring! #wuedt6020

@RoeEDT Having digital penpals (https://t.co/MrSfSKZy7T) is a great way to dialogue with students all over the world. In the math classroom, it can give students in different cultures perspective on how math is learned, taught, and practiced elsewhere. #wuedt6020

@EdTechJen That sounds like a great application of VR for the classroom. Bringing students into each other's worlds would be made much more real through VR. The thing that's kept me back from trying it has been its price. Have you found any affordable options for teachers? #wuedt6020

[Blaise Canfield @CanfieldBlaise]

@foldablequeen @EdTechJen That sounds incredibly immersive. Imagine flying through the planetarium, getting up-close with planets and further out galaxies! Is it easy to do 360 Youtube with a VR headset? https://t.co/tXgnADAVmB

Wk 3: I think I am most likely to try augmented reality in my classroom. Writing equations and building graphs in real time from objects around the class using smart devices and Chromebooks sounds really engaging! #wuedt6020

I'm following some awesome math educators: @preshtalwalkar @MathforLove @Mathgarden have awesome resources and problems to share! #wuedt6020

@gattuso_ms Super cool layout!

Didn't read the directions carefully enough week one and made my Schoology course on wrong account. Here's the right code: PK4V-5N96-FZ4XW #wuedt6020 #imsorry

[Blaise Canfield @CanfieldBlaise]

I plan on researching blockchain technology in the educational context. #wuedt6020
