A5: I think the kids feed off our attitudes in the classroom more than we think. Stay strong as the teacher and hopefully the kiddos will match your motivation. #mschat

I go back and forth on whether or not PD's should be used to learn a new technology device or program. Thoughts? Anthony Rebora: Teachers Still Struggling to Use Tech to Transform Instruction #DC508

@UitermJ I read this same article-- interesting read. I think if we allow technology to get in the way of our teaching by becoming a distraction our teaching is effected. No matter what we are teachers, our role doesn't change. But how well we are doing in our role changes.

"It is not the technology that makes a difference, it is the teachers."- Morrison Technology enhances our teaching, but ultimately, it does nothing if the teacher is not effective or puts their heart into their students. #DC508

Great read by Krista Moroder: "We have teachers who know how to teach- and we have teachers who know how to use technology." She focuses on the purpose of being a teacher and to stop focusing on teaching with technology. #DC508

David Brooks says there are 3 main critiques that come from technology: First, technology is destroying the young. Second, technology encourages addictive behaviors. Finally, social media sites such as Facebook and Google invade private lives. #DC508

Annie Murphy Paul argues keeping schools low-tech. Should schools be mirrors of society, or should they be placed apart? #DC508

"This Will Revolutionize Education" by Vertasium: "The fundamental role of the teacher is to guide the process of learning and to help inspire, challenge, and excite students to want to learn." #DC508 https://t.co/ah5tjTTvTC

Asking around my school and the majority, including myself, identify with being the wood of the pencil when it comes to technology in education. #DC508

#Leader or #Follower // Where do you stand in regards to technology in your school? #DC508

[Heidi VanWeelden @HeidiVanweelden]

"Being the first follower is an underappreciated form of leadership. The first follower transforms a lone "nut" into a leader."

I can identify with being a late majority. I need to be convinced that it's worth being invested in before "adopting" it into my life. #DC508

Schuurman has me thinking about things I have never thought about in relation to technology and the Biblical story. I am convicted of living in this world captivated by technology and challenged to have a heart and life that is seeking God in all aspects of life! #DC508

"Our hearts, in turn, are shaped by habits, practices, and rituals that gradually shape our desires" #DC508

"Do we direct technology towards uses that make us more like the people God intends us to be, and closer to the kind of world he wants us to shape, or towards disobedience?" #DC508

"But creation is, in fact, all the things that God has ordained to be, and that includes technology, which is part of God's good creation" #DC508

"Because technology is value-laden, there are definite implications for us as Christians as we engage with technology" #DC508

[Elli Elizabeth Taylor @elli_taylor_]

"Technology is not neutral, this it is value-laden" #DC508

#DC508 Tracing Technology's Unintended K-12 Effects. Thoughts on how this quote applies to education in America?

[Elli Elizabeth Taylor @elli_taylor_]

Interesting discussion from Nworie and Haughton. I think the last paragraph sums up the purpose of the article well, "...to draw attention to the need to constantly remember the effects of change in any system and the possibility of unintended consequences..." #DC508
