Just woke from a Finals Week dream where I was in acronym hell. Reading/writing education, but my brain drew random acronyms out of a hat: BAFTA, BFF, NCIS, etc. Of course I was confused, as always! #DHfall2019
One of the sample ELA lessons reinforces @AdamPBarger's point that teachers using tech tools always need a Plan B. Sometimes tech doesn't work or students have trouble using it, and pencil and paper may need to come to the rescue! #DHfall2019 #edtech
Having a non-tech Plan B:
I will personally be using my #personallearningnetwork to learn more about teaching strategies, lesson plan ideas, and resources. I love this graphic from @sylviaduckworth that explains why personal learning networks are so important and effective. #DHfall2019
At the beginning of the semester, I will ask students to choose a topic that they wish to learn more about and introduce resources like Twitter which has, surprisingly, been turned into a "#learningnetwork" according to @milesmac. #DHfall2019
It is simultaneously reassuring and daunting that even experienced teachers like Leah Shy struggle with finding the "perfect" activity on first try. @AdamPBarger, do you have any suggestions for how to make planning to use tech go more smoothly? #DHFall2019 #Week11Readings
@eleanor_oats and I definitely could have used the LATs for comic creation, like @PixtonEDU, for our summer session unit plan on graphic novels. Would be helpful for students (like me) who don't think they can draw! #DHfall2019
My CT: can you create and then teach a lesson next week? And can you teach yourself https://t.co/GInMM5wUIS and incorporate it into the lesson? (Me, whimpering.) #DHfall2019 #SOEEnglish2020
Thrilled to have @myactorsguru recognized as an innovative tool & to be speaking at a @WomenInFilm sponsored panel at The Digital Hollywood Experience next Thursday, Nov. 14 at the Skirball Cultural Center. #WIF_LA #DHFall2019 #DigitalDivide #innovation https://t.co/RBDlN6G4pa
@Neil_Selwyn says that "technology-related changes to education have abounded at a superficial level," (p. 19) and I see that reflected in my placement. #edtech is used as a placeholder for something analog rather than in a truly innovative way. Room for growth! #DHfall2019
@coffeemtns97 for the most part, my students seemed to really like using technology in the classroom, but, like yours, they didn’t seem to care if it happened more or less often #DHFall2019 #Week8Readings
#DHFall2019 #WMSOEEnglish2020 One rarely mentioned but greatly appreciated teacher technology — the high volume, automatic hole punching copier. Some worksheets need to be low tech to arrest distractions during presentations. We can plant more trees — there’s industry for that!
The answer, as Bates and I both agree, lies in the beauty of experimentation. Who knows better than teachers what teaching strategies are effective in their classrooms? #teachingstrategies #DHfall2019
Since my placement has college pennants all over the hallways and in classrooms, I wonder how many of my students feel marginalized the way those in Staley and Freeman (2017) did. Even in middle school, is the push for college detrimental? #DHfall2019 #future #careerdevelopment
Absolutely! It could also be a useful tool in World Language classrooms, and I think it would be great tool for ELLs, too. #DHFall2019
Looking forward to our Gallery walk - we hope to include a 3D printer project Hornsby 7th grade science classes are starting next week! #WMSOEEnglish2020 #DHfall2019
Tying education directly to the labour market is an issue; on the one hand, students get experience with their future careers; on the other, students are put on these tracks at a very young age and their interests and needs might change over time #DHfall2019 #Week4Readings
Wow, the readings complimented Professor Barger's three keys to success perfectly. Just as he taught that community, consistency, and commitment were vital, the readings argue that creating a sense of belonging is vital for student success. #DHfall2019 #teachertips
If UDL designs a universal curriculum for all students BEFORE they are in your classroom, how can a teacher ask themself "What Barriers?" without simply relying on stereotypes and cultural bias? #DHfall2019 #Week2Readings
Interesting to me that this platform can be used as both a broadcast format to share information and also as a communicative one- let’s see how we use it for this class! #DHfall2019
The Greatest class ever can’t possibly be beat. So I’ve signed up for Twitter, this is my first tweet. I’m making the effort, so an A would be sweet! #DHfall2019
