@DJWardMAIT
I love the metro line theme you created in your Thinglink! It made the interactive tools so easy to navigate. I especially liked the tools you incorporated on the Avatar Tool Line where I learned about some tools that are new to me. #INTC5001 https://t.co/XEwEgakaBe

@vicP_MAIT, I love the #Thinglink you created! Your background choice is great and I like how you incorporated the interactive features. You mentioned a lot of great tools that were new to me such as Gyazo, Sway, and Alice. #INTC5001 https://t.co/P7i3RmHjul

Great work on your Thinglink @Truncale_edtech! I really liked the question you incorporated on your #Weebly page - "What do you want kids to do with technology?". Definitely a powerful consideration for educators! #INTC5001 https://t.co/REqrILRmnN

Excellent job on your Thinglink @zhoho_m! I love the way you set up your interactive tools using a constellation - so clear and easy to follow! My favorite Thinglink you included was "In the Storm". #INTC5001 https://t.co/H781G8glSR

@zhoho_m Hi Maryna! Thanks for sharing this awesome tool! This will definitely be helpful in the classroom setting. I could see how those would benefit students throughout a lesson. Such a great find! #INTC5001

[Heather Wolkom Knibbs @hwolkom]

While creating my final project for #INTC5001 I came across this great resource that shared the best tips and tricks for using ThingLink and Genially! https://t.co/8KhprAgzfC

[Heather Wolkom Knibbs @hwolkom]

@DJWardMAIT Thanks for sharing this! Our district does not currently have any programs like this in place but I can see how it could be extremely beneficial! I will certainly be checking out GoGuardian to see the potential benefits for my classes. Sounds like a great tool! #INTC5001

I am a big fan of utilizing personal response systems in the classroom as a type of formative assessment. I came across this great article that shares 75 awesome tech sites that help to increase student engagement while assessing understanding! #INTC5001 https://t.co/gVzUyoHF8a

@TiffGip Hi Tiffny! Thanks for sharing! Sounds like a great resource to use in the classroom. I have a feeling my sixth graders would love CodeCombat. Thanks for sharing! #INTC5001

[Heather Wolkom Knibbs @hwolkom]

This week I chose to do a bit of research on Genially, an alternative tool to Thinglink. It seems like a great, user-friendly site that could be used to create digitally appealing and interactive tools for students! #INTC5001 https://t.co/PIeuJRrhTX

One MOOC that I would be interested in taking is Harvard's free Intro to Game Development course.

I would love to take the #MOOC "Introduction to Online and Blended Teaching" offered by UPenn through @edXOnline . It would be interesting to see how teaching and learning is changing in today's digital world, and also the best ways to implement tech to deepen learning. #INTC5001

[Heather Wolkom Knibbs @hwolkom]

@Truncale_edtech Hi Cathy! This course seems like it would be interesting and so relevant given our current teaching experiences. It is definitely a course I would like to look into. Thanks for sharing! #INTC5001

[Heather Wolkom Knibbs @hwolkom]

@vicP_MAIT This course was on the top of my list as well! Seems like a really interesting class and I’d hope to learn discover some great uses for my classroom. Thanks for sharing! #INTC5001

[Heather Wolkom Knibbs @hwolkom]

While watching Daphne Koller’s TedTalk, I was surprised to learn about the plethora of free college-level courses available across the globe. After researching available MOOCs, I found a course titled “Analytics for the Classroom Teacher” that seemed really interesting. #INTC5001

[Heather Wolkom Knibbs @hwolkom]

@GraceBrandtMAIT Thank you for sharing this Grace! I am also a big fan of podcasts so I am looking forward to checking out some of the podcasts mentioned in this list! #INTC5001

[Heather Wolkom Knibbs @hwolkom]

During my research this week on similar tech tool options, I came across Nearpod. I have heard a lot of great things about this tool and I can’t wait to give it a try with my students this year! #INTC5001 https://t.co/FAuYq2Zu3A

[Heather Wolkom Knibbs @hwolkom]

@DJWardMAIT Hi David! Thanks for sharing this resource. I haven’t used Formative before but I have heard great things from fellow teachers! Seems like it’s going to be a great tool! #INTC5001

[Heather Wolkom Knibbs @hwolkom]

Although I have heard great things, I haven’t taken the opportunity to try out Pear Deck with my classes. Looking forward to learning more about this great tool as part of my Tech Tool Blog assignment! #INTC5001 https://t.co/XOPkVoEppd
