R5: Speaking as a pre-service teacher, I think we would all enjoy hearing tips and tricks from experienced teachers. Otherwise, I think that has been extremely helpful! #kinderchat
@EducateKatie I definitely agree with this! Standardized tests have become such a large part of education, so it is important for teachers to understand their purpose and content. #kinderchat
R4: One thing that I have not learned how to deal with in any of my formal education classes is student conflict. Bullying, for example, is a major issue among all grades, yet I have received no training of how to handle this situation. #kinderchat
@eductabismit I also got a similar experience in high school. I was a cadet teacher for a local kindergarten teacher and was able to learn so much from her. #kinderchat
R3: One class that has really stood out for me is called Introduction to Exceptional Learners. This class taught me how to teach students with disabilities and modify my lessons fit their needs. I feel that this class is very important for all teachers to take. #kinderchat
@KeeneeLou@hechternacht I started babysitting at a young age and that experience is what first inspired me to become a teacher. I am grateful that I had this opportunity. #kinderchat
R2: I have worked at the YMCA summer and school break camps for the past 2 years. I am now a lead and get to plan all the events for my group. This is great practice as it has given me valuable leadership and communication skills. #kinderchat
R1: As a freshman, I have only taken a few preservice classes so far. In one class, we learned about communication for teachers and we completed a mock parent teacher conference that was very good practice. #kinderchat
@educrebafrye I am currently in this class as well and believe that it will be very helpful for the future. I now feel much more comfortable using technology in the classroom. #kinderchat
R2: One great technology resource that I have found is ClassDojo. I hope to use it in my future classroom as both an award system for the students and as a way to communicate with parents! #educW200chat
A1: Yes, I think it is very important to integrate technology in the classroom because it opens up many opportunities for both students and teachers. #educW200chat
I watched an episode on the Do Not Track website called The Spy in My Pocket. This informed me that most apps on your smart phone use your personal information and data without your knowledge. This can be very dangerous and people need to be aware of it. #educw200@educguo30
Adobe Spark is a great tool for both teachers and students. You can make videos that either teach lessons or showcase knowledge. It makes it easy for creators to add photos, colorful text, and voiceovers. #educw200@educguo30 https://t.co/NZSxjvuDBQ
Here is an example nearpod that I made about nouns! Nearpod is a perfect alternative to a typical powerpoint presentation. It is a lot more engaging and offers a large variety of activities to incorporate into the slide. #educw200@educguo30 https://t.co/ga36DAnnS1
