Using Diigo in the classroom can help students to find credible and reliable resources. Create a classroom group, add the sites, and let them search. Promotes digital fluency, networking, and collaboration.

@TinaLynn014 @DrLGray2010 I’ve let students sleep that I know have horrible home lives. Sometimes we have to just understand what they must be going through.

@tedcruz You are so rude and an embarrassment to America. Disgusting

@AndiEdu43 Our school used GoGuardian! This site can show you where your kids are even if you are home and you have a sub. Just the threat of it seemed to deter them! I do believe it is costly- but worth it! #6710DB2

@MrsLangione I am excited to try some blogging in my classroom. I hope to improve their word choices and purpose! Anything to get them writing! #6710DB2

We must recognize a global shift in teaching and learning in which technology is the driving force and condition our minds to continuous learning and education enrichment with technology for students and teachers. Be lifelong learners with a growth mindset. #6710DB2

[Nadette @AndiEdu43]

In the advent of the "big shift", I need to overcome the fear of 21st century learners becoming too distracted and off-task, when allowed to venture online for learning purposes. Teaching digital responsibility must be a part of the "big shift" goals. #6710DB2

[Kelli Jo Garaffa @hippiteach]

I’m wondering how other school districts that have been behind the curve in technology, has changed their mindsets to ensure our students are prepared for this modern world. #6710DB2

[Kelli Jo Garaffa @hippiteach]

A “big shift” I need to overcome is to find that sweet spot of integration of technology/social media in my classroom and guiding my students to be respectful, responsible, and accountable. #6710DB2

Using Twitter for MS or HS Social Studies formative assessment. Tweet an interesting fact about King Hammurabi! #EDUC6710

[Kelli Jo Garaffa @hippiteach]

@teresa_lance I agree! I’ve always said-Teachers are born, not made! Sounds like you were born to teach! I totally get burned out, but nothing a good night sleep and a cuddle with my pups can’t cure! ❤️

Tweeting for formative assessment in my science class! #EDUC6710
