@mrbartucz A5: I will build equity outside the classroom by not assigning homework frequently or requiring students to have access to wifi at home. Student's have responsibilities besides school and might not have access to wifi and I am mindful of that #CI5307 @MrMonsonTech

@mrbartucz A4: @JourneyToMicro is a group that can help us learn about microorganisms with high quality videos narrated by @hankgreen & @okidoki_boki . They promote accessibility to microscopic images that we might not have resources to do otherwise #CI5307 @MrMonsonTech

@mrbartucz A3: I wish we went more in depth about the negative sides of being a teacher and how to confront those issues. We really focus on the positives which is good but also creates unrealistic expectations #CI5307 @MrMonsonTech

@mrbartucz A2: I will be incorporating discussion board in my classroom and allowing students to post texts, use flip grid, or create visual aides as response. This will give them more choice and voice in how they present ideas best #CI5307 @MrMonsonTech

@mrbartucz A: one thing I will focus on is using frequent formative assessments to always have a gauge on where my students are in the learning process. I can then modify my plans and provide additional resources to address specific topics that are most difficult #CI5307 @MrMonsonTech

@swabludude @MrMonsonTech It is inevitable that some students will still struggle with this. For that reason, it could be beneficial to have paper options for students that need to switch from yellow zone to red zone. #ci5307

@swabludude @MrMonsonTech Keeping students on task will definitely be a challenge when using technology. One suggestion I have is setting clear policies for when and how technology should be used. For example, red zone = put away, yellow zone = school use only, green zone = free use #ci5307 @MrMonsonTech

@Ellieschneids Thank you for sharing this resource! As a student, I always found it helpful to watch teachers go over practice problems. Instead of using class time, maybe I could record myself solving them to post on the class site as an additional resource! #ci5307 @MrMonsonTech

@JaredSorensen I agree YouTube is a great way to enhance students understanding of content. Educational music parodies are another example of this! https://t.co/Ip3GxNqhr4 #ci5307 @MrMonsonTech

@mueller_brenna @MrMonsonTech I love this strategy of using student interests as themes for learning activities! It will definitely help them be more engaged... @genially is an extension of google that allows teachers to create video games for their students to play with and learn from! #CI5307 @MrMonsonTech

[Aliah Lopez @grannyaliah]

@XiongSalalalala @MrMonsonTech Yes! I was wondering the same thing… one idea I had was to use stools and utilize the lab stations as desks for the students. This would clear up a lot of space in the rest of the room for more flexible seating! #ci5307 @MrMonsonTech

Something that resonated with me this week was the 21st-century classroom design. The ideas that stood out most were having positive classroom culture, equity for all learners, and zoning the classroom. I will use these tips when arranging my own classroom #ci5307 @MrMonsonTech

[Aliah Lopez @grannyaliah]

An aha moment: I was worrying about how I will assess my students current understanding of technology. I don’t want to waste class time going over things they already know and I don’t want to overwhelm them right away. Standards. Standards are the solution #CI5307 @MrMonsonTech

What are your experiences with using the Google platform as a student and/or an educator? After exploring the @GoogleForEdu profile, do you notice any changes to the platform since you last used it? #ci5307 @MrMonsonTech

[Aliah Lopez @grannyaliah]

Google classroom is commonly used in schools and it’s platform has a wide variety of opportunities for classroom tech integration. The account @GoogleForEdu shares several tips and available extensions to facilitate the development of 21st century skills #ci5307 @MrMonsonTech
