@mr_maroney I think that is a great idea! Our assignment was to engage in 5 twitter chats. Unfortunately, many of the chat times/hashtags were stale. We set up our own chat and disseminated the info to our cohort. It's a good start but it's preferable to reach beyond our circle. #edsi6321

Connecting to other educators in other countries and cultures can be difficult. We often swim in familiar waters, and neglect discovering novel strategies. I'm interested in finding ways to resolve this deficit. #edsi6321 #globalclassroom

@mr_maroney @AlbrightCollege The SAMR model is a great tool for educators and underused, in my opinion! Too often, educators just throw in some tech for the sake of it without giving deep consideration of purpose. #edsi6321

@mr_maroney @AlbrightCollege What have you found to be the most useful tool you've encountered in your EdTech course?

[K Fischer - Educational Resources @FischerEdRes]

@mr_maroney @AlbrightCollege I am at University of Texas Tyler and am in the doctoral program for School Improvement. I have been an educator for 22 years, teaching physics, chemistry and engineering. I also train educators in the summer.

@mr_maroney I love Google Earth and don't use it nearly enough. Great resource, especially with the overlays. #edsi6321

What tech tools do you use to help your learners connect with other students and cultures? #globalclassroom #edsi6321

[K Fischer - Educational Resources @FischerEdRes]

@mr_maroney https://t.co/22J7b0DjvY is one i would highly recommend! https://t.co/LUQIFoyXz2

What ways do you and your colleagues find way to reach outside your system, state or country to learn about new ideas? #globalclassroom

I'm also a big fan of https://t.co/fzVjcIEMCV to help learners use data visualizations and discover demographic and economic trends. #globalclassroom #edsi6321

[K Fischer - Educational Resources @FischerEdRes]

I like the tools and special events from https://t.co/22J7b0DjvY - a wells established program where students connect with other students and scientist internationally. #edsi6321 #globalclassroom

A5: So many technology choices out there. Being an engineering teacher has given me access to so many great platforms. Also, I generally tend to be an early adopter or at least "tester" of many technologies. Some are good and worth keeping.#edsi6321 #eduimprovement

[K Fischer - Educational Resources @FischerEdRes]

A4: Allowing students to find products, pathways or foci related to the content that speak to them makes learning relevant. #edsi6321 #eduimprovement

[K Fischer - Educational Resources @FischerEdRes]

@veazyretired_ great point!

[K Fischer - Educational Resources @FischerEdRes]

@melyon60 well worded and insightful

[K Fischer - Educational Resources @FischerEdRes]

A3: Technology can allow for self-paced, synchronous or asynchronous participation (or mastery) which allows more room for student voice in product and/or pathway. Technology also allows for options in product development. #edsi6321 #eduimprovement

[K Fischer - Educational Resources @FischerEdRes]

A2: In personalized learning, the teacher serves as facilitator, resource maven, sounding board, feedback provider and one who prompts deeper thinking. #edsi6321 #eduimprovement

[K Fischer - Educational Resources @FischerEdRes]

A1: Variable pathways and pacing, maximum latitude for personal choice given the objectives, product developed with open ended platform options. #EDSI6321 #edimprovement

Kris Fischer- Ed consultant & doctoral student. I am actually at the tail end of my spring break. Had a great visit to Big Bend. Wish it was longer, of course, but summer is just around the corner! #6321 #edimprovement
